After leaving the academy, I walked along Inabawa Street.
When I first walked out of the school gate, I had a lot of courage.
He’s slowly retreating behind me, and I can’t see the energetic look he had just now.
Now, thanks to Inaba, who went behind, I am leading from the front.
Still, whatever.
The hand I’m holding with Inaba is shaking slightly and I’m conscious of the gaze around me.
Because Iniva is not letting go of the hand she is holding.
Personally, I am satisfied with this level.
Of course, I won’t let go first unless Inaba lets go first.
“Sa..Sasaki..?”
“Huh? Did you call me Inaba?”
“Ugh…I didn’t lead you too far towards the main street from earlier”
“Oh, that’s a misunderstanding”
“Umm…”
I tried to act as calm as possible, but I got caught.
Inaba waves the hand he is holding cutely.
“..Did you get caught…?”
“Tinayo! really! Sasaki It’s getting more and more crowded since earlier!”
“Sorry, but um..ah!..because there are a lot of restaurants here”
“Anyone can see that I just thought of it! That’s right!”
“Hmm, Inaba? Is there anything else you want to eat?”
When I avoided my gaze, he sighed softly.
He shakes his head as if he understands that I have no intention of giving up.
of course. Inaba
Do you know when an opportunity like this will come again?
Inaba made a small noise and then opened his mouth.
“Then let’s go there! There”
there..? These days, there’s a restaurant called ‘There’?
It’s hard to keep up with trends these days. Aren’t they too sexy?
“…keuhmm”
“Why is that there? The restaurant Sasaki mentioned last time!”
It was too concise. Inaba
Is there a restaurant that I brought to Inaba other than ‘Toya Dining’ on Inase Street?
No, I’ve never been to any other restaurants besides that one.
Lately, all the food I’ve eaten has been either home-cooked or from here, so I haven’t stopped by any other restaurants.
If I had to choose a place other than home and Touya… the education provided at school?
But… if you notice, it doesn’t mean that Inaba wants to gain knowledge here.
Even shota will say that this is not the case. For sure.
Other than that, nothing else really comes to mind.
My bank account is already full and I can’t afford to go anywhere else.
So these days, I kick the bed every night.
The money I handed over to the part-timer who worked at Toya flickered before my eyes.
I picked it up and gave it to him, but…I picked up too much.
I really need to kill off my bravado.
They say that if you have a lot of money, ordinary people can’t control themselves.
I’m just like that and that’s just the way it is.
For a moment, my thoughts wandered somewhere else.
I tried to remember again.
As it took longer and longer for an answer to come back from me.
Inaba gave me one more hint.
“Sasaki said it last time. I found a good place a few days ago”
It was a few days ago…
“Umm..hmm?”
Inaba’s eyes darken.
I tried to think as hard as I could before realizing.
“Ah..? Ah!”
I barely remembered Inaba before he got even more angry.
These were words I threw out as an excuse in passing during my second private lesson with Inaba.
It passed safely and disappeared from my memory for a while.
“Snack restaurant! Right?”
“Correct answer! Hi-Hi. I want to go there too”
“Surprising.. Inaba, you?”
“Yes. I’ve never been there before, so I’m curious what it’s like”
I’m a lovebird. Inaba
Please take a look.
In my current situation, Touya, who has at least as much money as possible, is the best.
I got money coming in this week.
You must not be caught as a servant before the money comes in.
There isn’t a specific day when I receive something from my family, so I don’t know if it’s today or tomorrow.
There is a slight error.
“Hmm. Inaba? How about Touya?”
“…Yes? ..Hmm..It’s definitely good there, but…”
“Right? The food is delicious too”
“Yes, then”
“The owner is also friendly”
Inaba’s expression got worse at my words.
“.. When I think about it.. well, that is.. it’s not that good..”
Inaba’s attitude changed in an instant.
“..Is there a reason?”
“Now is now! Well, it’s not that kind of ship… Yes! Sasaki! My stomach is-”
“?”
“My stomach feels like it needs to eat snacks right now!”
Inaba said that and turned his head to avoid my gaze.
The tips of his ears are red, and he seems embarrassed to even say it.
It’s like this.
But I couldn’t refute this.
Put strength into the hand you are holding! I can feel that giving means a will not to go there.
Should I refrain from club activities?
The excuse that Suzume said last time came out of Inaba’s mouth, so what can I say, the amount of criticism is limitless…
Should I say that black water has been added to the white paper?
A complex and subtle feeling.
Inase Fountain is getting closer.
My eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
Looking at the current situation, it would be a disadvantage to force him to be taken to Touya.
In the end, I decided that I had to go to a snack bar…
They say you have to find a Korean snack restaurant on Inase Street in Japan…
Is it unique?
Why on earth did I say I went to a snack bar that day..?
If it had just been called a regular Western restaurant, this wouldn’t have happened! Me in the past!
Fortunately, there was a snack bar on Inase Street.
Of course, it’s a Korean snack bar run by a Japanese person.
A fact I didn’t even know.
Because this store didn’t even appear in the original work.
As a fan, I was a little moved and led Inaba to the store.
As we got closer and closer to our goal, Inaba came forward from behind.
“Oh! Sasaki!”
“How about it..I said. This is the place I mentioned back then…”
“..Really there?”
Inaba’s distrustful words reached my ears.
I feel like there wasn’t much trust in what I said.
It’s quite a shock.
“..?”
“Ahh..hihi. I really like it, Sasaki”
“Didn’t you just say something different?”
“Ahmmm.. I’m hungry Sasaki, come in quickly”
“..Let’s do it like that”
There is a sign showing that it is still open for business.
By the time I led Inaba and held the door to the restaurant and entered.
A unique sound like a ringing message was heard from my arms.
My cell phone is turned off, so this is Inaba’s.
Texting at this late hour… just before I left the school gate.
By sharing Kakao Talk with Shota, you can guess who he is.
Inaba’s eyes widen as he raises his hand and looks at his phone.
“Ah!..hehe, Sasaki, would you like to go in first?”
“What’s going on?”
“Ah..extreme..I got a text message from my friend hehe..just a moment..no..I’ll come back quickly!”
Sasaki lowered his head.
Come and go.
I know who the other person is and I can roughly predict what the conversation will be like.
Then, I should go into the restaurant and take a look at the menu.
The remaining money I have now is 2,130 yen.
This is the amount that Inaba, the heroine of the sports world, eats and does not lack.
At the same time, it should be possible to cover it with my own money.
Fortunately, Inaba is out, so I order it in advance.
Exactly according to the amount.
it’s tough.
But we’ll do it.
With great determination, I opened the door and entered the store.
“Welcome!”
***
Inaba, who had been chatting with Sasaki just a moment ago, laughing and enjoying his awkward behavior, sighed.
They look like lovers enjoying a date.
I was enjoying the dreamy feeling… It’s a bit weird to say this, but…
“Shota… Banghae”
Inaba quickly left the restaurant and entered the alley next to it and raised his cell phone.
Still, I’m glad Shota isn’t here.
You shouldn’t do that to your childhood friend. Inaba
Yep.
[Shota]
Inaba opened the messaging app on his phone.
I checked the messages that arrived.
I think the first time I arrived was while Inaba was working on his equipment at his desk.
I was so focused at the time that I couldn’t hear it.
-Um…I…I’m in Inaba…hehe…do you have anything to do after school?
-ah! Are you still on the baseball team? There’s nothing you can do if you’re busy. I was busy too, so I thought about it. hehe
-There’s a mukbang on TV right now, it looks delicious… Do you want to go with me later?
-Oh, it’s nothing special haha, it looks okay, really.
-no. Come to think of it, I’m on a diet haha.
This is the article that arrived this morning.
Inaba’s eyes were shaken by Junggu Nanban’s writing.
After sending the text, Shota finished replying to it again, so Inaba was confused about what to reply to him.
hmm.
“Hwa-a-ting..? No..um…cheer up?..ah um..”
After hesitating, Inaba scrolled all the way down as replies came in in real time.
…
-I saw what you were doing at your desk earlier. Are you still at school?
-I’m at home…just, uh…no.
-I’m going to your house right now because I have something to give you.
-You said you’re not inside. Are you still outside?
Latest posts.
Inaba’s mouth opened.
“Eeh…? Shota? It’s in front of my house right now…?”
It’s spring right now so it’s warm, but…
Inaba’s personality made it impossible for him to leave his childhood friend standing in front of his house for hours just to keep him warm.
And now I’ve started…
Inaba hesitated for a moment and then immediately sent a text message to Shota.
-ah! I just saw Shota’s sorry text. It’s late..?
-Oh, it’s here. No no haha
-Have you gone back home by any chance? It’s been a while since I sent you the text message… I was just wondering… haha.
-I think I’ll be late because I have some things to do outside… Shota, can I get it tomorrow?
-huh!
“Phew”
-Oh, typo! no! I thought about going back midway, but I thought it would be better to stay.
I went back and forth between heaven and hell.
And immediately hell came again to Inaba.
-Can you tell me where it is? There is something I need to meet separately and give you.
-If you’re busy, should I go to where you are? lol
-No no no. It’s okay… Shota. You don’t have to come.
Is it something important that I have to hand over today?
Still… Inaba couldn’t give up his small hope.
-Is it really…is it really…is it really…haha Shota…don’t misunderstand and listen to me. Do you really have to give it to me today…?
-Yes, yes, yes! It has to be today haha
-Well…really?
Shota’s reply was strangely lively.
You seem to be in a good mood.
-Inaba in front of your house. I’ll wait until you come.
-Hahahahahahahahaha
-don’t worry. The floor is warm so it’s okay
Shota…are you sitting on the floor now?
Inaba’s eyes twitched mercilessly.
