Volume 5 Chapter 39 Heartwarming
When the sun sets and the moon rises, it becomes a playground for fools.
We, who had been heading towards the Uraten Matsuri for two days in a row, were nothing but fools.
However,
"Why have you been laughing since earlier?"
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing!"
In response to Lisha's words, a weirder voice came out than I had imagined.
Did I really laugh that much? I rubbed my cheeks, but I couldn't tell. It's like when I'm browsing in a bookstore, it's distracting.
But when I relax, Hinata's face flashes in my mind and I can't stand it.
Who is she, a real little devil? What's with the "Did your heart skip a beat?" Everyone would get their heart skipped about that.
Seriously, I can't sleep today because of that.
And what does she means "I like them"? There are many meanings behind those words, and I don't know which one is true.
I wish someone had taught me more about it in compulsory education.
As I struggled to regain my serious face, Souji, who was walking with me, spoke up.
"Yuusuke, you went around with Hinata today, right? How was it?"
"How do you know? We just went around normally."
Souji nodded with a grin.
"Judging by the look on your face, Hinata must have worked pretty hard."
"What are you talking about? Well, she seemed quite nervous."
"I see. If she knows it herself, then it's okay."
Hinata must have been very worried about making up with me. Maybe she talked to Souji about it. It's a likely story.
For now, the matter with Hinata is settled. I feel relieved.
Now, I have to refocus.
As if on cue, Matsuda, who was walking at the front, turned around.
"Well, that's enough chatting. From here on out, we'll be in the realm of the seductive where everything will melt away if we don't put in our all."
We arrived at a place that was usually a cafeteria. Normally full of a sense of liberation, all the blinds were drawn and the inside was completely invisible.
Matsuda pushed open the door.
"Well then, welcome to 'Melty Market.'"
On the other side of the door, it was filled with pink and music.
It was nothing like the cafeteria we used every day, with tablecloths on the chairs and tables, and women in revealing dresses chatting with customers everywhere.
It's really like a cabaret. No, I've never been to a real one.
"Oh my, welcome, customers. Is this your first time here?"
Under the pressure of the pink violence, a woman approached us.
Wow, she's big.
I won't say what, but because of the dress that revealed her cleavage, it was emphasized even more. It's heartwarming to think that someone like her is a college student who comes here every day.
Matsuda popped his head out from behind me.
"Yes, there are four of us."
"Oh, isn't it Matsuda-kun? Did you bring a friend today?"
"I thought I would give them a chance to learn about society. Please be nice to them."
"I know, all the kids here are good kids."
"Oh, right. Excuse me."
Matsuda laughed heartily as he chatted with the big sister. I wonder where he made all those connections. Not that I'm jealous or anything.
"Well then, let me show you to your seats."
As we were led to our seats, two girls immediately came over.
"Hi there, I'm Kasumi."
"I'm Hikari, nice to meet you."
Kasumi had short, boyish hair while Hikari had beautiful, clean black hair. The two things they had in common were their well-proportioned faces.
"What would you like to order?"
"We have access to the kitchen, so we can make a lot of different dishes."
"And we have lots of drinks too!"
The two of them showed us the menu with perfect coordination.
The prices were surprisingly reasonable. Of course, it was more expensive than a normal izakaya, but it wasn't like the exorbitant prices of a bar for royalty that Eris took me to before.
At that time, since there were no prices listed, I didn't know exactly how much it cost. So, I stopped thinking about it when I saw Eris nonchalantly signing a parchment.
