Chapter 351 – An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth #2
Hiyori seemed to quickly forget the events in the theater and started chattering again when the movie ended.
No, I might not have forgotten.
Maybe the reason I went to the bathroom midway was to soothe my hot face?
“Senior. “I’m hungry.”
She said as she fastened all the buttons on her shirt.
I answered as I left the theater along the long aisle.
“I heard that when I was going to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant earlier, I suddenly no longer felt hungry.”
“It’s different now than it was then.”
“You ate almost all the popcorn and you’re hungry?”
“Yes.”
“How can you be so thin when you eat so much?”
“I’m skinny?”
Hiyori said that and looked down at her own breasts covered by her shirt.
One of the reasons why I feel so embarrassed when dealing with her is her sudden and blatant behavior.
I’m embarrassed because it comes on like that without even turning on the blinker.
I said as I was seriously contemplating whether or not to take a look at her blessed body that was not in good condition.
“That’s how skinny it is.”
“Is it? “I’m feeling a bit steamy these days, but…”
“Do some exercise.”
“I intend to. “I need to quit going to the gym.”
“Really exercise?”
“Huh.”
“I don’t think that’s what you should say when you don’t participate in physical education class almost every day and only think about how to do it.”
“Not every day?”
“Is that so? “You’re not going to go to the gym for a few days and then quit, right?”
“Do I look like I have no guts?”
“So so?”
“What is that ambiguous answer? “Did you not see the spirit of running away from Hanazawa-senpai?”
“Can you call that grit?”
Did he get a little heated by my negative answer?
Her brow furrowed in the middle as she pouted her bright red lips.
“Oh, so are you going to eat sushi? Are you going to tell me?”
“Let’s eat. But don’t you have plans this afternoon? “Is the time okay?”
“Yes.”
“Where were we supposed to meet?”
“In the city.”
“Near here?”
“It’s not nearby, just about five stops away.”
I think you’re happy that there’s almost no travel time, but you’ll have to stop by the house.
I can’t send you out dressed like that.
From today onwards, I will show you extreme old-fashioned power and reform your concept of chastity.
“Okay? “Let’s go to the sushi restaurant first.”
“All right. Just trust me and follow me.”
Hiyori takes the lead, sounding trustworthy.
I walked next to her and stroked her sticking out hair with my finger.
Then she narrowed her eyes at my childish prank and looked up at me.
“Ah, why are you acting strange…!”
“I wanted to touch you.”
“Why on earth?”
“It’s fun. If I press this, will it come back up again?”
“Yes.”
“It’s interesting… I’m sorry if I have a complex.”
“I don’t grow anything like that.”
Confidence is nice to see.
“Then we should continue.”
Tap, tap.
Was it ridiculous that I was touching his hair like a kid who discovered an interesting toy?
Hiyori looked up at me with fierce eyes, and then shook her head.
It’s not like he doesn’t like doing things like this… I guess he was embarrassed because I acted like a child.
But what about the really fun stuff? It tasted good and was quite addictive.
I have to do this every time I think of it.
**
A conveyor belt sushi restaurant with quite a lot of customers.
We sat down at the table-shaped seats and started choosing the sushi we wanted to eat using the touchpad.
Tuna, cuttlefish, eel, etc…
As I was clicking on the edible items one by one, I asked Hiyori.
“Is this a conveyor belt sushi restaurant? It’s a completely normal sushi restaurant except that the sushi you order is delivered on a rail. The rail is also a dedicated rail.”
“Why are there some immature kids playing around with sushi? “Because of them, we changed to this ordering method for a while.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Huh. But senior. “You didn’t mean to say that one of those immature kids was me, right?”
“You have severe paranoia. “I never thought of it like that.”
“Really?”
“Uh. You may be immature, but you are not a bad person to do something like that. Yes?”
When Hiyori praised her kind heart in a passing, yet serious voice, she cleared her throat slightly, as if sensing her embarrassment.
Then she said in a cheerful tone.
“That’s true, but… Why do you say that to people’s faces?”
“It’s a compliment, so you should say it to their face. “Then do it from behind?”
“No, well… That’s true, but…”
The way he slightly lowers his head and twists his hair with his fingers as if he is embarrassed is cute.
It’s not as good as Lenka’s, but it’s like Hiyori showing weakness to her praise.
However, this kind of praise should not be given every day. Because it becomes dull.
It’s right to make him do pretty things on his own in hopes of my praise.
With that in mind, I asked, putting the sushi I was going to eat on the pad order form.
“Aren’t you ordering?”
“Oh, I have to do it. “Did you just order that?”
“I’m going to try a few first and then decide whether to order more or not.”
“Is it a gourmet concept?”
“Don’t be weird and pick the menu quickly. Hungry.”
“Shall we eat buckwheat soba together?”
“Can’t you eat just one?”
“I also want to eat curry udon.”
“Then do it.”
“We also share fried crab meat. “There are two, but they are too long and there are a lot of them.”
“Okay.”
“You don’t eat salmon? “The salmon here is a popular menu item, so it runs out quickly. Would you like to order one?”
“Okay, so just order something first.”
“No, I’m asking this because it would be a waste if I ordered it and then couldn’t eat it. Why are you saying this?”
You said the right thing.
I shook my head at the understandable sound, and finally finished ordering by answering Hiyori’s barrage of questions, confused as to whether she was making fun of me or not.
As usual, Hiyori continued to talk during the meal.
How about your senior eating it? Can I just eat one? The curry udon is really delicious. Try one bite…
She moved her mouth nonstop while making those sounds, and I didn’t think it was bothersome at all.
On the contrary, Hiyori, clinking her chopsticks together as if she was eating sushi, was so refreshingly cute that it was even harder to resist the urge to keep looking at her.
Anyway, overall it was a delicious restaurant.
As expected, I like to wander around, so I know a lot of good places.
From now on, when I come to her city with Hiyori, I will have to use her as her human navigator.
If you tell me what you want to eat, I think they will guide you.
After finishing my meal, I left the store and looked at the sign.
Then Hiyori poked my arm with her index finger and asked.
“Why are you looking at the name of the store? “Do you want to come again?”
“Uh. “It was okay.”
“Do you think I’ll forget it tomorrow?”
“Can you please stop thinking that just because you have a bad memory means other people have the same problem?”
“Are you making fun of me for being ignorant?”
“If you think that way, there’s nothing you can do.”
“Why don’t you answer vaguely?”
“Polite word.”
“Yo. This?”
The level of bullying has increased compared to before.
I guess I felt better after feeling full.
It must be difficult if you’ve been eating that much… But it seems like you’re using all your energy talking.
Still, for the sake of my image, I watch it because it looks better than eating it all.
“Are you going to go back right away?”
“That’s right. “There’s nothing to do here.”
“Then let’s play together.”
“No.”
“Are you very shy?”
She tries to tease me by stroking her own tummy.
After resisting the urge to ruffle Hiyori’s hair, I responded by patting her hair and pointed in the direction of the public parking lot.
“Let’s not fuss and just go.”
“Where?”
“Parking lot.”
“Why? “Do you want to give me a ride to the meeting place?”
“Uh.”
“Then I’ll just ignore it and enjoy the ride.”
“Do you, you shameless person, know how to say something like that?”
“Oh what can I say…! “Eat this.”
Hiyori slaps my hand, which is limp from walking, with her own hand and places something small and hard on it.
I looked for something, and Hiyori’s favorite Suichu was on my palm.
When did you buy this again? I think I had it originally.
But why does telling me to eat this sound like an insult?
I think it’s because the tone is strong.
I got into her car with Hiyori and slowly drove her car in the direction she indicated.
And then he looked at her occasionally.
“What? “Why do you look disapproving?”
Hiyori caught that gaze and asked a curious question.
I responded by shrugging her shoulders.
“If you walk around dressed like that, strange kids will stick to you just like back then.”
“It’s okay because I’m going to hang out in a place that doesn’t have entertainment places.”
That’s not the problem, it’s just that it’s annoying when people stare at you.
I don’t know if you noticed it or not, but it happened a few times today when I went to the movies or when I ate sushi at a sushi restaurant.
“Be sure to fasten the button well.”
It may seem like going too far to restrict clothing.
But what can I do? I already made a resolution today. We decided to reform Hiyori’s concept of chastity.
As I thought before, it’s okay to show that side to yourself, but it’s not okay to show it to other people.
It would be nice if Hiyori likes my behavior, which is always conservative, but it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t.
“Haa… If you’re really worried, give me a ride home. “Let me change.”
I guess you said that because you thought I would be bothered… But you made a mistake.
Deciding to take her joke seriously, I turned the steering wheel.
At the same time, the car goes off onto the road next to it.
Hiyori, as if she didn’t know I was actually going to change direction, opened her eyes wide.
“No… Is this a real store?”
“I told you to go.”
“It was a joke…? “If I have to go again, I’ll be late for my appointment.”
“Change your clothes and come out. “I’ll give you a ride.”
“Is this really going to happen?”
“Uh.”
“I’ll button it up properly.”
“That would be awesome.”
“Really?”
“I don’t believe it.”
“Really, really.”
“Okay. “Let’s go and talk first.”
“Ah, why are you doing this…!”
Hiyori is complaining to me who is adamant.
The words I wanted came out of her pretty mouth, and she stayed calm.
It’s important to give her a few days to think about the meaning of my answer.
After a brief pause, I glanced at Hiyori and spoke in a passing tone.
“Because I want to take care of you.”
Then, Hiyori’s mouth, which seemed like she was going to start talking at any moment, was blocked as if she was lying.
Have I revealed my heart too honestly?
No, I don’t think it was an explicit answer as I saw that confused look on her face as to whether she wanted to take care of me as a woman or as a junior.
Looking at Hiyori’s reaction, I am convinced that my intentions worked.
Go back to playing with her friends and think about it a lot.
