“Hm~! Beef bowls are delicious after all~♪”
“You eat it so deliciously.”
Seeing Yuuka with a big smile on her face as she put the beef bowl in her mouth—At the time, I felt a bit of uneasiness in my mind, wondering, [What’s it like to eat gyudon with a girl?—Then, I was relieved and naturally smiled.
“Ehehe, I like eating meat…….”
“You said it earlier, but I guess it’s true that you like meat.”
“I don’t eat a lot like boys do, but I’ve always loved meat.”
“Well, not many people don’t like meat.”
Of course, I’m not saying there are none, but I’m pretty sure they are in the minority.
“Like vegetarians?”
“Maybe some people don’t like the oily stuff.”
“Ah, I guess that makes sense. To tell you the truth, I prefer red meat myself.”
“I don’t like fatty meat either. I’ll eat it if it’s served to me.”
“Mmmm ! I’d eat it too if I was served it.”
“….Why are you competing with me?”
“Because, of course, as a meat-meister who loves meat, I can’t lose in the meat contest.”
“I’m not competing with you.”
“That’s a shame. The battle starts before, right?”
Yuuka, the self-proclaimed “Meat Meister,” says a little smugly and mischievously.
Today Yuuka seemed to be enjoying herself even more than usual.
She probably likes eating meat more than I thought she would.
I was happy to see her unexpected side again that I naturally relaxed, partly because I was so hungry.
And as the conversation flowed, I made an outrageous comment.
“But still, it’s hard to be too beautiful when you can’t even eat your favorite beef bowl to your satisfaction.”
It was a casual remark, but as soon as I said it, I knew I had made a mistake.
She just came here to have a beef bowl with me, but what an idiotic thing to say.
It wasn’t like I was pretending to be a boyfriend or anything, it was just a casual thought that slipped out of my mouth, but it was too late for that.
“Fwueh !? Too beautiful—“
Yuuka’s chopsticks clamped down on the meat and lifted it up, and then they came to a complete standstill.
“Oh, no, I mean, you know? How can I say that now—“
I was wondering what I should say to make up for what I just said,
“Sota kun, you’re so good at flirting with girls. You must have said that to all kinds of girls, right?”
Yuuka followed up with an even more oblique question.
“No, no, I didn’t say that, okay? I’m not a tough guy by any means, but I’m proud to say that I’m not a flirtatious type of guy….okay?”
I’ve only dated one girl so far.
“T-then? You mean you only say those things….to me?”
Ooooooh !?
I wasn’t expecting that response at all, either.
No, really, I didn’t expect that at all.
I mean, what am I supposed to say back?
Suppose I answer, [Yes.]
Then, I would be the kind of guy who would act like a boyfriend just because we came to have a beef bowl together.
Yuuka’s opinion of me would surely drop dramatically.
On the other hand, if I answer [no,] I will be a flirtatious guy who plays coy with any girl he meets.
Yuuka’s evaluation of me would also drop sharply.
Hell to go forward, hell to go backward.
Either way, it was inevitable that my image would be degraded.
It’s sad to think that my image, which was not that high to begin with, would be further degraded.
“Erm, that’s…….”
I was trying my best to think of a good answer, but I couldn’t come up with a good one, and I was at a loss,
“Eeh, I was just kidding♪”
Yuuka grinned mischievously and started eating the beef bowl again as if nothing had happened.
