He stopped by a shop opened by a senior who had retired from the business, never expecting to run into the person fate had chosen for him.
After humbly taking his colleagues' advice, he immediately set out to pursue her--
Step one: Get a dog to create a romantic meet-cute.
Success.
When they parted, he even fled with a flushed face.
Step two: Apply for a job at Sakamoto's Shop.
Failure.
He was rejected by his former coworker and senior.
Step three: Go on the offensive and confess directly!
Only right before he was about to confess did he learn that his crush could read minds.
Um... So she'd heard all the awful perverted things he'd said in his head before...?
Well then--
That's great! It saves him the trouble of confessing!
0. Older woman-younger man romance; they're three years apart. The female lead is an unaffiliated member of ORDER, an information broker.
1. The female lead grew up in an orphanage, so in a sense, she's a childhood friend who dropped from the sky (? )
2. There may be a little love-triangle drama (see the supporting cast).
3. The main plot has been heavily reworked to make room for a light, cheerful little sweet romance.
Theme: Be brave enough to express your love.
