Same but different.

It's just silence until the waitress comes and asks for my order, I smile at her and ask for a cappuccino, she smiles and nods with understanding then leaves. Ren is enjoying his cup of coffee while staring at the street through the window while Horii is reading a magazine that the cafe provides for the customers.

I look at Ren and Horii back and forth because I'm curious about these two.

"Is there a reason why B is here with us, Ren? This isn't the first time she's joining us."

Horii keeps reading the magazine while smiling and listening to my conversation.

Ren leans on the chair while looking at her.

"It's because she's my personal bodyguard, just for now."

I look at Ren while tilting my head toward Horii.

"She's your bodyguard? I'm not trying to offend her, but isn't that quite the opposite because she can't fight?"

Ren looks at her while nodding.
