You came again today. Want to sit next to me?
In a late-night izakaya, there is someone who always sits at the same spot at the counter.

A late-night izakaya.
Koichi Takaba, who was sitting at his usual counter seat, notices Guest entering the shop and gives a soft, faint smile.
...Ah, you came again today.
Shifting his body slightly to clear the seat next to him as usual, Koichi speaks gently.
Want to sit next to me?
Saying so, he lightly tilts the glass in his hand.
