“No matter how much you say it, Suzume”

“SSAM! Yes?”

In front of Inase Street.

Everyone had already gathered, but Suzume clung to me as Shota was running late.

Yes, I waited 5 minutes.

“Are you that hungry? What about breakfast?”

“heeheehee”

“…You didn’t eat it.”

I shook my head at Suzume, who just smiled.

Even if I hadn’t come dressed up nicely, I would have turned him down right away.

Why on earth are men weak to beautiful women…?

A combination of a gray miniskirt and a white knit.

She must have been wearing a skirt that was one size too small, so her thighs were being stretched as if they were going to burst.

This made her the perfect natural enemy of man.

Hey.

ah.

I got caught.

“Teacher. Don’t look.”

“No, it’s not like that”

“Even so, I gained weight and my skirt got smaller! Sigh ”

Is that it?

For some reason, I thought it was too beachy.

Our ghost story club manager can’t be like this! It was.

“Um”

I quietly looked at my thighs.

Am I fat? Does this suck? Isn’t that what they say?

In fact, I think I’ve perfected my fashion more now than before.

I wonder if it will pop out when I press it.

“Suzume?”

“Yes”

“Is there anything to worry about? I like myself better now”

“…Four?! That’s flirting! Heehee”

“No. You mean thighs. Because you look healthy. Of course, I am against gaining more weight than this.. but”

“..You talk like my mother.. Teacher too.”

hmm. Is that so?

When I was young, I heard a lot about looking healthy.

I said something wrong.

“So… Suzume you”

“Yes, tell me, Mr. Gong”

“Don’t worry……”

big

“..It’s always new and changing. It’s okay to be confident.”

“Hihi, thank you. Modern deulbak?… What does that mean”

“Uh…good words. What men like..Ah, they are coming.”

I spit out my true feelings.

I’ve already committed it, but fortunately it’s Korean.

Suzume doesn’t know.

He raised his hand and pointed to one side, turning Suzume’s gaze.

Shota and Inaba are seen entering Inase Street.

approaching distance.

Gradually a face appeared.

What’s going on, Shota? As far as I know, there won’t be any special events, right?

Shota staggered closer, as if he wasn’t paying attention to what was ahead.

A place where people stop walking and face each other.

Suzume and Kanna looked at Shota closely with curious faces.

Typical friendly atmosphere.

I feel like I have a crush.

Inaba opened his mouth, pointing at Shota next to him.

“Hmm. These are the members of the ghost story club. Shota”

“Halong! Suzume Kawasaki, a fearful second year student, appears!”

“…Me, Megumi…Kan…I..”

“!”

uh?

Suzume?

My mind went to Andromeda for a moment when Suzume introduced herself as a girl who was easy to mess with.

Are you going to use it right away like this?

Fortunately, no one is interested in the wild gourd that Suzume mentioned.

Are you good at using buzzwords? I guess that’s the case and the atmosphere is moving on.

I felt a little relieved.

Next Monday morning, if Inaba looks at me with a bright smile and says that he wants to sleep, it will be troublesome.

for the better.

Still doesn’t work.

After the introductions, everyone’s eyes focus on Shota.

Shota had kept his head down towards the floor until then.

Inaba, who was next to me, shook his shoulder slightly.

“Shota? Shota!”

“Uh, yeah..Inaba..”

Shota, who came forward hesitantly, turned around, looked at Inaba intensely, and then walked forward.

Inaba was slightly surprised by that.

Ah, my gaze just wavered.

Immediately Shota bowed his waist.

For a shota, the first impression is quite powerful.

“Hello. My name is Kiyoshi Shota, a first year student. Nice to meet you!”

A confident introduction.

Inaba’s eyes widened at that.

There’s a right angle greeting there.

“Oh?”

Suzume also had a smile on her face.

Shota’s knees go down.

“And I’m sorry”

“Huh? Eh?”

In the end, Shota’s knees and upper body completely touched the floor.

widely-

“Sorry, sorry. I-I… I don’t have any money.”

Perfect Dogeja.

Shota I didn’t know you had that kind of talent.

What a talent.

I think I can forgive everything.

The other people seemed to have different thoughts than me, their eyes trembling in embarrassment.

ah. It would be nice for someone to misunderstand this.

I’m already standing behind you.

Are you introducing yourself to people you are meeting for the first time?

As people around her focused their attention, Kanna came next to me and covered her face with her hair.

“… Poetry, gaze… ache.pa…”

A timid-looking male student is surrounded by three female students and is seen holding a dogeja because he has no money.

I only saw it in cartoons.

In reality, it’s just a crime scene.

Inaba seems to have sensed this as well and grabs Shota’s shoulder to pull him up.

“Sho, Shota? Wake up first”

“No. Inaba I am…keh”

“Oh, no, so don’t misunderstand, Shota!”

Suzume also joined in.

“Um, that junior over there? Right. I don’t know what the situation is, but let’s talk first”

“No. I’m a bug. Sorry, I don’t have enough money”

“No, really”

Shota extended his hand to Suzume.

Suzume becomes angry.

“! Well, okay, let’s get up first”

“Here”

Shota’s fist opened and something inside it fell onto Suzume’s outstretched hand.

“?”

“This is all my property”

“Why is this happening all of a sudden?”

“I’m sorry I can only prepare 500 yen… Please don’t catch me.”

I’m so grateful

-well. That female student habitually gave money to that male student-

-Hey, look! I’m not putting my hand out to pretend to cause trouble, I’m just trying to extort money!

-Hoo. That sounds like a police officer.

＊＊＊

The police didn’t come.

Before the situation got complicated, I came forward and helped Shota up and the situation ended.

“Ah, haha, I didn’t know Mr. Sasaki was there too”

“Because I am the teacher in charge of this ghost story club. What happened to modern shota earlier?”

“…Joe, it’s Joke.”

well.

Whether that is true or not, it will be a strong first impression.

Because I won’t forget it.

“Shota?”

“Inaba It’s really okay. Haha.”

“..Kalongjjing. I’m having a hard time”

“Soo, good job..good job..Suzume..”

rattle-

Looking at Shota, who was trying to placate him somehow, I gave him a sad look and went to sit in the designated seat.

“Is this your first time?”

“Oh, it’s okay. I came here once last time”

“Yes! Then please look at the menu and order”

“Thank you.”

Based on my seat.

Inaba on the right and Suzume on the left

Kanna across the street.

Shota sat down next to Kanna.

If you want to study, it would be easier to face each other.

Shota was vague, but everyone in the group knew one thing.

Shota’s entire fortune is 500 yen.

Also, Shota looks poor, as if a god of wisdom has descended from somewhere.

Phew. This is really difficult.

I was planning on treating it like normal.

Then there is nothing we can do.

My eyes slowly lit up.

Differences between students and adults.

Simple.

Capital power.

Becoming an adult means that your mind becomes more mature and you become more able to control yourself.

Self-control.

Twenty jetties for 1.5L of milk? flex

One serving of curry with two pounds of meat? flex

Throw away the Yoplait lid? flex

Yes, becoming an adult means that the limits of self-control are lifted.

Voila!

Sasaki’s self-control came and went.

Today I will show you the fear of an adult.

Simply ordering everything on the menu is not a good choice.

Ordering something you can’t finish is a loss to the store, to the kids, and to humanity.

There is no awareness and food is wasted.

Bottom of the menu.

[Special Premium Upjinsal Melting SSS++ Grade Black Wagyu Steak]

-55000 yen

At that price, my fingers twitch slightly, out of my control.

Is this correct? Wake up Sasaki!

But men are creatures of bravado.

I raised my hand confidently.

The eyes of Suzume, Kanna, Ina, and Shota all focused on my fingertips.

I can’t buy it anymore.

Is it only middle-class men who lower their hands here?

I am different from you. Shota!

“Here!”

“Yes?”

“I’ll order it.”

“Ah. Customer orders are over there –

Employee’s troubled face

I’ll change that face.

“This”

The employee’s eyes, who were slightly angry, widened at the menu I pointed to.

Eyes widened to the limit.

It was as if he didn’t know there would be someone who would order something like this.

“…Really? Do you know the price…?”

“According to the number of people”

“Poetry, even 5. Now, just a moment… I’ll call the boss!”

The employee quickly disappeared at a trotting pace.

What you can do is probably outside of your scope.

It also fell out of that category.

Maybe I will just have to eat cup ramen for a while.

But… it’s okay. I am an adult.

The week after midterm exams.

It’s okay because the money comes from the family.

“Ssam, teacher!? I’m really fine. The price of this is 111,100,000… hehe”

“…Wealth, rich…as expected…empty…”

“Ah. are you okay. This is no big deal. Because there are new club members there”

“Shota?”

“Yes?”

“Eat and if it’s not enough, tell me and I’ll order more”

“Thank you..”

I smiled at Shota, who had been quiet from earlier.

It would be a shame to bet on something else when you get such a big deal.

I wanted this situation.

It’s a chore to keep calling people Inaba and others.

“Do you hate meat? Inaba”

“Yes? Oh no. I also like meat. Sasaki”

“Well, you can order everything else. Suzume and Kanna too”

“Oh! really? Then this too heehee”

“…Me, me too.”

This is called pretense. Suzume.

please. You’re so sincere.

When I glance to the side, I see Shota looking darker than before.

I’m going to collapse like that.

Shota’s face hardened at the sound of the names coming out of our two mouths.

A slightly shocked expression. I shake my head as if I heard wrong.

“Uh…uh..is…I-Inaba?”

“Yes. Shota why?”

“I just heard…did you two people call me by name?”

“!”

In the natural atmosphere, Inaba called my name.

Well, I tried to induce it like that.

Inaba also had a small sting, but quickly came back.

He did not show any embarrassment.

“Ah.. This is it. hmm. Because I’m the homeroom teacher and we even belong to the same club”

“..Really…?”

“Yes. So, I just thought I should make it easier to call them by their nicknames since we keep seeing each other face to face.

“No..uh..well, that’s a bit…”

“Ah, I feel comfortable calling everyone by their first name among club members”

“..Really?”

The trembling of Shota’s eyelids slightly decreased at Inaba’s last words.

It would be reassuring to hear that it wasn’t just her, but the other two as well.

I don’t mind if you call me out loud from now on.

And strangely the focus was off.

Three people excluding me sing it comfortably.

Inaba is the only one who calls me Sasaki.

Fortunately, the two people are just staring at the menu and not interested in conversation.

Inabae Sasaki, who figured it out in that short period of time, was amazed.

As soon as the conversation ended, the employee brought the boss out.

The face I met at the checkout counter the other day.

“Thank you for waiting a long time.”

As I moved to the side of the employee, I saw the boss.

President Tomoda opened his mouth, extending his hand as if he was glad to see it.

“This… I’ll see you again. My name is Kazuki Tomoda, the president of Toya Dining.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Junpei Sasaki and I am an academy teacher.”

We exchanged simple greetings and heard a brief introduction from the president.

“Usually, prepayment takes priority because of the amount of money, but I can’t do that because you have respect and I trust you.”

“Ahaha thank you for this.”

“To give you a general introduction to cooking-”

This is what meat is like-

Sasaki nodded while listening to the food introduction.

Because I don’t know anything.

“We will make the best food with the best quality. Thank you.”

“Yes”

“Hmm. And since the chef is my wife, she will come out and explain it to us later. Thank you very much.”

President Tomoda, did you have a wife?

With that, the president left and Sasaki slightly pushed his chair outward.

Last time, Suzume and Kanna went there and didn’t see who the chef was.

Open kitchen.

It’s hard to see the face because of the smoke, but one thing is clear.

The figure and lines are subtly revealed through the smoke.

“It looks delicious”
