I removed the characters that seemed specific to the previous chapter from the table. I just left 香織 since I guess we’ll see more of her eventually from the ending of the previous chapter.

The comment of the appearance of 京大 students made me laugh. That reminds me of my university.

I’ll see you guys next week. I read a chapter at a time, so I always skip a week. :hugs:

Very little happened this week, so it’s not a bad idea :sweat_smile:

I have a grammar question from the first section this week.

When Aoi is making coffee for tencho because Holmes isn’t there:

コーヒーを淹れることが趣味だというホームズさんと違って、店長はお茶を淹れる類のことが苦手らしい。

I get the overall meaning, but grammatically what is that 類 doing there?

It looks like 類 in this sentence is used to mean “type” or “kind.” When combined with お茶を淹れる, it is implying “things like making tea” or “tasks related to making tea”, broadening the idea to include similar tasks, not just making tea specifically.
