Aren’t You Too Sweet Salt-God Sato-San?

"... eh"

I don't like my simplicity, which has risen slightly.

I grab my jacket from my head and wear it deeper.

I don't want you to see a face like this, Tail.

"Ha... Ha, Tail, how did you know I was here...?

Manage to squeeze out the trembling voice.

If I was at all alarmed, it was going to explode again.

"... and I thought you had business today...?

After I say it, I get sick of my bad personality.

But if I didn't, I was going to get it wrong again.

It's settled, Pushtail. You're eating roll ice cream all by yourself. You just pitied a root-dark woman like me.

"- Yeah, but I really wanted to have roll ice cream with Mr. Sato, so I cut it up early, errand"

"What...?

I look up unexpectedly.

Push-tailed you hold your mouth by your hand, kind of dropping your gaze diagonally with a look you've never seen before.

Is that it? Pushtail, your face is red...

"... sorry, that sounded like a dictation"

"Eh, get out of the way"

Suddenly and unexpectedly, my face got as hot as it had caught fire, and I just pulled into the shell of my jacket.

Oh, no.

High school girls don't speak like that.

"sooo... sooo... haha"

Haha, but not.

I don't even know what my reaction is right anymore.

Pushtail, I can't see your face.

I was looking down at the cup of ice cream that was unfortunately emptied and solidified - that's when it happened.

I heard two or three more deep breaths from overhead, and soon afterwards something slipped into my sight.

"What...?

That's your smartphone, Pushtail.

That display shows a picture of the roll ice cream I uploaded to Minsta.

Same goes for what you know about my Minsta account, but I'm surprised it's already been nearly half an hour since I uploaded more pictures than that.

Apparently, I was so relieved that I even forgot my sense of time.

"... how did you know I was here?"

That's what you say to me, Tail.

"First of all, there aren't so many stores serving roll ice cream in this cherry garden town, so if the omelette is accompanied by cream to the mint, you'll know even if you don't have a tag anymore,“ aytim9 ”is the only way to go."

Pushtail, you say it like a detective, pointing to a list of tags I've set.

When I saw it, I did forget to tag the store name.

... What a preliminary mistake, Pushing Tail, for telling me where you ate all that mattered. I don't like myself.

In that regard…

"... after all, you're amazing"

I shrugged in self-derision.

No more, I can't contain my emotions.

"Not only do you do stylish cafe clerks, you know a lot better than I do, you take pictures... but I, don't be confident"

It's a lie.

The truth is, a long time ago, my tiny confidence has been shattered.

The more I find out about you, the less he's within my reach, the more I'm made to understand.

"... I might have gotten a little too on track for wanting to upload these hectic pictures to Minsta and be a minsta glamour... Ha, you should turn them off..."

I say in a trembling voice.

And then, Pushtail, you...

"- Yeah, I'm a jerk."

I tied my mouth.

... I knew it, I knew it.

"You took too much from the top first, because of the“ aytim9 ”logo on the side of the cup, but it's not showing properly because of the Hinomaru schematic, and the filters are weird"

... I knew, I should have known.

Still, I'm sad to hear you say it directly from your mouth...

When my eyeballs got hot and I was about to spill a grain of Shizuku...

- But you're a lot better than me.

The smartphone screen switches.

Seeing what was shown there, I was much more breathtaking.

"This is..."

- That's the “cafe tutuji” pancake.

But no.

Well, I don't know... compared to what's on Minsta's official account...

"This is the first pancake I've ever taken."

"What!?

Pushtail says with a bitter smile, so I accidentally raised my voice.

"This... the tail you!?

"Yeah."

"But the official account of“ cafe tutuji ”has these photos..."

My mouth slipped.

Now they think I'm the disgusting one checking out all 300 + images uploaded to the official "cafe tutuji” account......!

But fortunately, Tail, you don't seem to be particularly concerned about this,

"Yeah, it was so hectic and embarrassing, I didn't put it up... look at this"

That said, Pushtail, you scroll through the photo folder.

Surprised.

From the edge of the screen to the edge, a frightening number of pancakes line up.

"This is a pancake that was taken too far from the top into a Hinomaru configuration, this is a pancake that became light with backlight, and this is... ugh, the butter is melting because I've been shooting for a long time, that's terrible"

"Ma... wait! How many of these do you have?

"Did you take about a thousand pictures until you uploaded the first one to Minsta?

"Because......!?

That's slightly more than double the number of images that Cafe tutuji is uploading to Minsta right now.

Just to upload one photo, Tail, you're, like...

"It was a minsta I started with a slight desire to help my father at all, but hey, everyone was good at pictures when I tried to do it and you couldn't stop hand sweating for a while when you first uploaded the image, how many times did you get lost trying to erase it on the way"

"... I was wondering if you would be able to..."

"Ha, you're so determined, I studied mess, and I was still anxious, but -"

Pushtail you manipulate the smartphone to display the image I uploaded to Minsta again.

And

"- Sato's already (...) up, he's a lot more of a minstagrammer than I am at that point."

That's what he said, smiling gently.

Look at that smile, I'm like, oh... how stupid.

"By the way, Mr. Sato, I heard you recently had a Minsta Show in the next town, but next weekend, why don't you come with me? Roll ice cream this time, because we couldn't eat together, to apologize for that."

My chest hurts, my body trembles naturally.

"But... me, I'm bad at taking pictures..."

I'll teach you.

"I can't say anything funny about talking, I don't have any friends..."

"I can't say anything that funny either"

"Not at all, I don't even look like a high school girl... but still"

I look up, and I look at you, pushtail.

"Still... together, will you go...?

In contrast, you can hang on.

- I want to go with Mr. Sato.

That smile is against the rules.

I lay face down.

I didn't want to show him my current face.

Stupid, I'm really stupid.

- I can't believe I fell in love with my first love again (...).
