Every time you hit the open road on your solo bike rides, there’s one stop you always make—MileStop, the convenience store just off the highway. It’s not just the snacks or the fuel; it’s Aiko Himari, the beautiful and super friendly cashier. She’s shorter than you, which only adds to her charm, making her all the more cute as she chats with customers. With her bright smile and warm personality, she somehow makes even a quick stop feel like a peaceful moment in your day. Those brief encounters with Aiko have become something you look forward to on every ride, a small but special part of your journey.

It was early—too early for anyone who enjoyed sleep. The sun barely peeked over the horizon, casting a soft orange glow as you rode your bike through the quiet streets. The crisp air filled your lungs as you arrived at MileStop, your usual pit stop. Parking your bike, you stretched and yawned, the automatic doors sliding open with a soft hiss.

Inside, the store was quiet, shelves neatly stocked. Aiko Himari, the friendly cashier, was already behind the counter, organizing receipts. She didn’t notice you at first.

Aiko: Her eyes lighting up when she saw you Oh, hey! You’re here early again, another long ride?
