O miai shitakunakattanode muri nandaina joken o tsuketara dokyusei ga kita kudan ni tsuite

Yu String and Erisa felt the same way.

The two visited a soba shop in the neighborhood.

The soba noodles would have been fine... but the price would have been huge if they had come out.

It's within walking distance, so it makes sense to go directly.

"I've never been to a soba restaurant before."

I see. That's why you made soba noodles.

The choice of a soba shop is a little bit uncomfortable for high school girls in their old age.

Maybe women care about juice flying.

For Yu Chong, who thought that he would choose a coffee shop or a family restaurant, the choice of Erisa was unexpected, but the point was reached.

... I thought so.

"Ah, no. That's not how it works."

"Oh, no?

"I haven't had much to eat out in the first place... so I thought it would be good if I made soba noodles in the summer."

"That's... yeah, it's a strange encounter. I thought I'd like something cool because it's summer."

For a moment, I felt like I had a glimpse of Elyssa's pitiful family situation, but Yuki decided to pretend not to notice.

Now, sit in the guided seat and take a light look at the writing.

"I... wonder if I'm in the duck cake. Where's Snowcastle?

"I'll make... tempura soba noodles. The size is normal."

After finishing the order for a while, the soba noodles and tempura were first placed in front of Aisha.

The tempura has a little more shrimp and five dishes of vegetables... but considering the price, it's a convincing amount and type.

However, for soba noodles....

"Er... is this the right amount? Nakamori is from Takase River, right?"

Looking at the soba noodles that had become mountainous, Erisa had a puzzling expression.

"Oh, there's a lot of them here. That's normal."

"Eh? No, but...."

And when she saw the soba placed in front of the string, Alisa was silent.

And compare it to your own.

If this was the inner hero, then it was definitely the same... it was written on my face.

"Bad, bad. I forgot to explain... uh, can I help you?

"Please."

After all, the string received about half the amount.

"Are you sure you want this?

"Because the food is not so fat."

After saying so, Alisa points to a plate with tempura on it.

"How about tempura? One shrimp and... one dish of vegetables"

Well then, I guess I'll take it.

Yushi receives tempura from the dish of Aisha.

Then I picked the duck meat with chopsticks that was floating in my soba sauce.

"How about this? Eat?"

"... that's right. I'll take it."

After they finished exchanging the side dishes, they started eating soba noodles.

There is a lot in this store, but is the quality of the product inferior? It is not like that. Normally, the fragrance is good, and it is thick and delicious.

The duck stock is also rich in flavor, and the tempura is crisp and delicious.

Takasegawa-san, you can eat wild crab.

Alisa suddenly said such a thing.

Yucho certainly had no problem eating wasabi, and now she was still spraying it with soba.

"Snowcastle... you don't like it?

"... eat when you're little. Since then. It was a trauma."

The amount of horseradish on such a dish was not decreasing.

If you don't want to use it, I thought you'd give it to me....

"Why don't you try it now? It might come out of nowhere."

"... that's right. I'm an adult, too. By the way, is it correct to apply without melting?

"Come on? It's up to you. However, in your case... if you melt it, you won't be able to eat it, so why don't you apply it?

That's true, too.

Kokuri and Aisha nodded and put a little wild anemone on the soba noodles.

Then add it to the juice and eat it elegantly with a small mouth.

What do you think?

"It smells good and delicious... * giggle *!

Elyssa suppressed her nose.

In an instant, your eyes turn bright red and begin to moisturize.

I drank tea in a hurry.

"* giggle *... it seemed like it was too early for me.... don't laugh."

"No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Because it was interesting."

"... you're a terrible person."

Alisa swelled her cheeks with tearful eyes and turned towards her.

That technique... was so cute that I thought I wanted to stroke your head.

While doing so, they finished eating soba noodles.

While savouring soba noodles, Erisa asked Yushi.

"Speaking of which, Takase River. Mr. Orange and Mr. Kaminishi... you know each other."

Speaking of which, I remembered that Alisa was there yesterday.

You must have heard Yu Chong, Ayaka and Chiharu talking.

Well...... do you know those two? It's a different class. "

Speaking of which, Yuki remembered that this kind of interaction was done a long time ago.

And Erisa's answer to Yu's question was slightly different from before.

"From my adoptive father... if I get into the same class, I want you to get along. That's what I was told before I went to school. Because he has a good family."

Alisa raised her eyebrows in disgust.

Nobody likes to be instructed to do this by relationships.

Yu String and the girls are familiar with each other's relationship at home. Of course, the parents tried to make each other acquaintance, but they were never explicitly ordered to "get along".

"You don't have to get along, but you're both good people."

"That's right. Bright, sociable, beautiful...."

She seemed to envy me somewhere like that.

Alisa is a beauty, but when asked whether she is bright and sociable, she does have a little doubt.

She treats many people equally, but at the same time she doesn't make friends.

Always transparent and thin, but with strong walls between people.

Um, Takasegawa-san

"Yeah, what's up?"

"... what is your relationship with those two?

"I'm familiar with it. It's a date from an infant. So, friends. Well, maybe more or less."

I am related to Tangerine Nightincense, but I have not been very aware of it because it is distant.

"Is that all?

"That's right.... what, did you see each other as lovers?

It is true that Yu String, Ayaka and Chiharu are close together.

At first glance... it doesn't matter if the lovers look like... they may seem more friendly than normal friendships, and it is true that they are actually better friends.

"No... I don't think so. But I wonder if that's what I think on both sides. I thought about it."

"I admit they're both beautiful. I have no romantic feelings. It's not my type."

It's fun to be friends with such a bustling type of person, but when they ask me if I want to be a couple....

I think I can't settle down at home.

"They don't like me either. There's someone I don't think about."

"Oh, is that so?... that's right. Such a beautiful person can't be left alone."

That's what I'm talking about.

Well, in their case, it's terrifying in that people have the same thoughts.

Yustring thought of the face of a friend who would be caught between them by now.

Against such a string, Erisa asks with her usual expression.

"Was that good? I said no to the study group."

Apparently Yuki and the girls were also listening to the conversation.

If you make such a loud noise, you can certainly hear it.

"I had an appointment with you."

The first thing I promised was Alisa.

Then it is the muscle that gives priority to Elyssa.

"... was it good for me?

"For me, it wasn't like that. We can make up for them separately. I can only see you on Saturday, so it's only natural to prioritize this, right? And...."

Besides?

"It's fun to be with you. I don't think so.

For a moment, Alisa had a look on her face.

Then I shook my neck to the left and right.

"No, that's not true. Besides, I'm... enjoying myself."

That's how Alisa narrowed her eyes.

If you touch it, it'll be scattered, but it's so beautiful, it makes you think of love... such a smile.

I want to hug you, I want to pick you up... driven by such impulses.

"Um, can I have one, please?

"Ah, ahh... what's wrong?

Yu String, who was in love with Alisa's smile, returned to me.

Her expression reverted to the usual faceless expression.

"Apart from Saturday... may I bother you occasionally?

"Whenever you're free. I welcome you."

"Thank you."

That kind of Ai Lisha was as unremarkable as ever.

But the eyes were softer than usual.
