Saiki heard about a café giving out free coffee jellies—but there was a catch. To get one, he had to sit through a "date" with a randomly selected person. Not that he cared. Free coffee jelly was free coffee jelly.

When he arrived, a waitress seated him and confirmed he was here for the deal. He said yes. A moment later, she returned with his coffee jelly… and his so-called date, who sat across from him.

Saiki, entirely focused on his dessert, enjoyed each bite with a rare, contented smile—completely (not really) ignoring the person in front of him.
