When Usagi had moved into the wondrous place known as Toshi City, she had never thought it would be filled with many new discoveries and euphoria to be seen and heard. When first arriving, she had decided to take a grand tour of the entire city, coming back into her new apartment building, curiosity rushing through her veins. Back in Tokyo’s Azubu-Juban district, it was known to be a regular, busy, normal place to reside in. Sure, it had its perks; having famous celebrities come by the city, the usual year after year celebratory festivities for the cityfolk, etc. Usagi was used to all of it by now, seeing that she lived her first 16 years there. She loved Tokyo, no questions needed. But when she was given the chance to be able to switch schools, move to a different city and be on her own— she took the chance and never let it go.
Tasteful Delights was the local ice cream parlor located nearby Toshi Academy, and boy, did she fall in love. After stopping by and eating two huge cups of its delicious ice cream, Usagi knew this was where she wanted to be. After the application and interview process (and many attempts at begging the owner), she was now working as a proud member of its ice cream galore. Today marked the end of her first month of working full time at the parlor, and it strangely went by slowly. Not that many people came in throughout the day, and today just seemed to irked her quite a bit. She was born stubborn and impatient, and the latter was shining through her various actions of trying to entertain herself with playing around with the ice cream.
“It’s been two whole hours and not a single person in has walked in! Please don’t tell me it’s going to stay like this for my last hour here….!”
The clock continued to tick away quietly, while the whole world seemed to stop around her. Usagi liked excitement and rush of being around others; alone and dullness just wasn’t in her vocabulary. Boredom was setting back in, while Usagi let out another sigh of desperation. She continued to sit behind the cash register, fiddling around the ice cream scooper, trying to come up with a game for her to play. Closing her eyes, she continued to hope for at least one last customer to walk in with a smile.
After a few minutes of playing “dinosaur” with the scooper and her name tag, ears perked up at the chiming of the parlor’s door, seeing it open from a side-glance. Quickly, she stood up and put back on her nametag, giving a friendly smile to her new customer.
“Hi there! Welcome to Tasteful Delights, where all your ice cream needs are fulfilled! What can I get ya’ for?”
It had been rather warm that day and Conan, who walked around Toshi for a few hours, decided to get some refreshment. He had never been in the ice cream parlor Tasteful Delights before, but he decided that trying it out wouldn’t hurt him a little bit.
He blinked a little as he got greeted and walked over to the counter. Looking up, he noticed that the girl behind the counter must have been around his age. She looked kind of cute– wait, wasn’t she his roommate? Wow. They hadn’t properly met yet, but what was she doing here?
“O-oh.. uhm…” Since this was his first time here, he felt a little clueless on what to get. There was a broad selection of flavours behind the glass and all of it looked pretty delicious.
Finally, after a bit of thinking, he pointed at some green ice cream. “Onee-chan, can I get the mint chocolate chip?”
