Kuroha Meets Iroha

Next Heaven 2:Prologue 1:Kuroha meets Iroha ~12:00~

October 21,The day of out school's Culture Festival.Our class was doing a Maid Cafe,
"Hey! Kuroha,Can I ask you to do something?" Izumi,in her maid uniform called out to me,
"What is it? as long as I could do it,I'll do it for you" I answered Izumi,
"Can you buy some ingredients,we ran out" Izumi then gave me a memo with all the ingredients I need to buy,
"Okay,I'll be back in a bit" I went out and walked towards the shopping center.

When I was in the middle of going to a different shop,I decided to take a shortcut through the alley.When I took my first step in the alley,I saw a shop with a mysterious feeling in it.Without knowing,my hand was already holding the door knob and twisting it.The door opened and I stepped in the shop.

The shop is filled with really old and antique like clocks,some of them going counter-clockwise.The tick-tock sound won't stop echoing throughout the shop.The never ending sound may sound super annoying to a normal person but for some reason,it felt heartwarming and calming to me.It was like paradise or oasis,No,It was like heaven.It was a really wonderful place.

While I was listening to the calming sounds of the clocks,a cat walking on two legs with a basket full of fishes on it's back.The cat is a bit overweight because of it's round shape,
"Welcome to the shop Clockworks Nyeow" The cat talked,for some reason I didn't find it weird that a cat just talked to me,
"Hello,What's your name?" I asked the cat,
"Naito Meia,Nyeow" Meia replied to me,
"It's pronounce as [Meya] right?" I asked for Meia's name,
"That's right.I'll prepare tea now,Nyeow" Meia went in further in the shop.
