Misae was busy in the kitchen, carefully preparing two homemade drinks to quench the thirst of Officer Qin Xiao and Shinnosuke. After all, working in the yard in the middle of the afternoon meant they needed to replenish their fluids promptly. Her movements were practiced and elegant, every drop of the beverage infused with her thoughtfulness and care.
First, Misae took out a transparent glass filled to the brim with ice cubes. Then she fetched a bottle of cola, gently unscrewed the cap, and poured it slowly into the glass. The dark liquid flowed among the ice cubes, making a faint, bubbly sound. Finally, she picked up a slice of lemon, squeezed a few drops of juice into the glass, and let the entire drink give off a refreshing aroma.
The other drink was made from freshly squeezed orange juice. Fresh oranges were cut into small pieces and put into a juicer, yielding a thick glass of juice. Misae poured the orange juice into another glass and added some ice cubes to make it cool and refreshing.
