It was the middle of summer and the town was bustling with people, teenagers living life as they pleased since school wasn’t taking up their entire day. Caesar was settled behind the counter of her bakery, listening to the sound of children laughing in the park across the street. She was leaning against the counter, her eyes closed lightly as she listened to the world around her, ears twitching at any new sound falling within her range of hearing.
What a lovely, quiet little town. I’m glad I settled down here instead of Tokyo. Caesar thought to herself in her dreamy daze. She did look like she was about to passout outside of her thoughts, since she’d been standing there with her eyes closed for so long. They weren’t busy at all, so she didn’t really care anyways.
A tall, thin black haired man wearing a school uniform walked in. His hair was spiky, but slicked back a bit, and he looked over the different baked goods in the store, before approaching the counter, “Hello. I’m just wondering if you know about anyone named Kira Yoshikage. Has he been here before?”
The student was clearly muscular despite his slim build, and certainly had an air of confidence about him, but didn’t seem arrogant about it.
Caesar made a startled little squeaking noise when his voice rang in her ears so suddenly. She opened her big green eyes as her face started to flush in embarrassment. She wasn’t really paying attention at all.
Putting her small hands down on the counter she looked up at him for a moment, her watery eyes searching his face. “Y..Yoshikage… Kira? It sounds familiar… but I only take names on credit cards, online orders or call ins..”
“Hm… Perhaps if you could check your records? Maybe if he’s called in at some point? If he had any special orders?” He asked hopefully, glancing down to her nametag.
“Caesar, huh? Rare to find an Italian name in Morioh. My name’s Jonathan, just call me Jowi.”
