External File 02: White Day Commemorative Short Story – A Viking Date?
Kevin Coleman
“Hey, you wanna go to the cake buffet tomorrow on Sunday?”
I shoved the cake buffet ticket I got from my dad toward my friend Shaun Lyatt.
“What’s with the random invite?”
“It’s an apology for all the trouble I caused you on Valentine’s Day.”
“Huh. Well, alright then.”
I offered the ticket to Shaun again, and he readily accepted it.
He accepted it…he actually accepted it!
“Then you’ll have to come dressed as a girl tomorrow. It’s a couples-only ticket.”
“What!?”
The next day.
I showed up at the meeting spot decently dressed.
However,
“I did say to come dressed as a girl, right?”
“I am dressed as a girl.”
“Then why are you wearing the same old clothes as always!”
My friend Shaun was presenting as a girl, but his outfit was just his usual sneakers, jeans, and polo shirt.
“You can clearly tell I’m a girl, can’t you?”
“Well, yes, but still!”
I had hoped he would at least dress in a girly outfit…
The place we headed to was Princes Marie, a shop that had both a cake store and a cafe.
They hold a cake buffet twice a month here.
The original cake shop itself is quite famous, so their cake buffet is extremely popular too.
Thankfully, the last table was open when we arrived.
And the price was pretty expensive for middle schoolers like us, plus drinks were extra, so we both just got the cheapest coffee.
“You got a good amount there.”
“Might as well since we’re here.”
Shaun started eating the cakes she had gotten, looking quite satisfied.
Despite wearing male clothes, with her pretty face and huge boobs, she didn’t look like a guy at all.
From the outside, did we really look like a couple?
That’s when I decided to ask Shaun something that had been on my mind since Valentine’s Day.
“Hey Shaun. When you look like a girl like this, do you ever find guys attractive?”
“Not really. Since I’m basically a guy, my eyes are still drawn more to girls.”
Shaun answered casually as he ate his cake.
“I see…”
I had hoped he might be interested in me, even a little bit, but I guess not.
“Then how about letting me grope your real boobs next time? Real tits are better!”
“You really should see a doctor about that…”
Shaun gave me an odd look in response to my serious request.
I guess our friendship isn’t going to change anytime soon.
That’s when a flashy looking group of what seemed to be college students or office ladies approached us.
“Well well, if it isn’t some brats on a little date? How adorable.”
“You kids have some nerve coming to a fancy place like this!”
“The girl’s outfit is so tacky! Actually, are those men’s clothes?”
And for some reason, those office lady types started harassing us.
“Excuse me…can we help you with something?”
“This cake buffet is really popular. Since all the tables are full, you brats need to leave.”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
Shaun and I were stunned by what they were saying for a moment.
“We want to eat right away. So hurry up and get out of here.”
“Yeah, a stylish place like this isn’t for some poorly dressed brats like you!”
The ladies laughed as they tried to intimidate us.
“That’s none of your business!”
“Let’s go, Kevin.”
I was about to snap back at them when Shaun stopped me, and we stood up from our table.
“What are you doing? We just got here!”
“Your tacky girlfriend there has more sense than you punks!”
“Well of course. We’re of a higher class than you, so the store would appreciate us more.”
“Now hurry up and leave!”
One of the ladies shoved me as I tried to protest.
“Hey, that brat is giving up his seat for us, so doesn’t that mean he has to foot the bill?”
“I suppose you’re right.”
“Lucky us! We get it for free!”
The ladies spouted some ridiculous logic, took our seats, and started eating the cakes we had gotten for themselves.

“Shaun! Why did you just give up our seats like that?”
I snapped at Shaun for leaving so easily.
But Shaun responded:
“I mean, they came to this place, deliberately picked a fight with us who are clearly underage, stole our seats, and then intercepted our order – they’re so starved for attention that they won’t be satisfied unless they do this. They’re pitiful people who’ve gone decades without anyone paying them any mind, dried up like an asteroid with no humans, animals, plants, water, or even air. We should be kind to them.”
Shaun said it loudly enough for everyone around to hear.
Shaun words made the people around us snicker as they turned to look at the ladies.
“How embarrassing.”
“Textbook case of bitter, unpleasant women.”
“They really have no class.”
“Complete lack of common sense.”
“That’s actually criminal, you know.”
“Should we upload this to Galasta?”
The disdainful comments from those around us made the ladies’ faces contort with anger.
“Why are we the ones being laughed at!”
“Mind your own business!”
They had a lot of nerve saying that after their own rude behavior.
“What are you trying to cause, you little brat? “
“I’m just stating the facts.”
In contrast to the furious ladies, Shaun remained perfectly calm.
“You little…!”
Unable to contain her rage any longer, one of the ladies stood up and raised her arm to strike.
But someone grabbed her arm, stopping her assault. It was the owner of the store himself.
“Ma’am, I’ll have to ask you to stop right there. Going any further would disturb the other customers.”
“And just who are you?”
“I’m the owner and head patissier of this establishment.”
The owner was a young, handsome man with a neat appearance.
“Hey, I bet you’d prefer us over these brats, wouldn’t you?”
“Yeah, we’d be great advertising, you know?”
“We could even become regulars here, if you want?”
Once they realized the owner was good-looking, the shameless ladies started…trying to seduce him?
But the owner didn’t bat an eye as he calmly stated:
“Your insults toward these customers constitute defamation. Forcibly pushing them from their table is assault. And taking the cake buffet they paid for is theft. Do you understand that these are the crimes you have committed? If you don’t want to be reported to the police as criminals, you will pay the 3,980 credit cake buffet fee for each of you, totaling 11,940 credits, and promptly leave the premises.”
He didn’t mince words at all.
“We’re better customers than some brats!”
“Yeah, you should kick them out instead if anyone!”
“Don’t you care about getting a bad reputation?”
The ladies still tried to argue.
They were incredibly shameless, those women.
“Feel free to spread any bad rumors you wish. The quality of our products will not suffer from such gossip.”
The owner firmly rebutted them and pointed toward the exit.
“If you refuse to leave, I will have no choice but to call the police immediately.”
Despite his polite words, the owner’s commanding tone made the ladies grimace as they begrudgingly paid via their multi-purpose terminals and left while muttering insults.
“My sincerest apologies for the disturbance, everyone. As a gesture, your currently ordered drinks are on the house.”
Lucky! This owner is quite generous!
Later.
Those three ladies did end up leaving bad reviews about Princes Marie online. But someone who had recorded video of the incident posted it, leading to them getting completely roasted instead.
At the same time, that idiot Shaun attracted a lot of…unsavory attention in the comments like:
[The bullied silver-haired buxom beauty is so hot!]
[She’s way cuter than those three skanks]
[I want her to step on me while insulting me…!]
