Monday, the first day of the week.
It’s a wonderful day, though I’m depressed because school is over in the morning due to various reasons.
I wish it could be like this every day.
Every Monday.
After the morning classes, I’m free.
I’m hungry, so let’s go get something to eat.
I ask Haruto, who is sitting behind me.
“Haruto, let’s go eat ramen.”
“Great, I’m off from club activities today, so let’s go there for the first time in a while.”
“Oh, let’s go there, let’s go there.”
The “there” Haruto refers to is a ramen restaurant with a unique name, [Ramenso: Look up at the sky.]
This is the kind of restaurant that serves up extra garlic and vegetables, and the portions are large so it’s popular among sports-oriented students.
I’m not sure about my stomach capacity, but I think I can handle it today when I’m hungry.
In order to get in line as quickly as possible, Haruto and I dash to the restaurant.
As we ran toward the restaurant, out of breath, we found that the line had already formed outside the restaurant.
“Haa…… haa……”
“I ran as fast as I could, but there’s already a line.”
“H-Haruhito….you’re too fast.”
“I’m working out, you know. You should exercise too, Asahi.”
“I-I’ll think about it……”
Haruto’s running speed is incredibly fast.
He’s tall and has long legs, which helps him maintain his speed even after he reaches top speed.
I, a mere mortal, could not keep up with him. The only way to close the gap is to slow down at the corners.
Make an difference in the corners…!
“But still, there’s a lot of people lined up. Is it like morning class for everyone?”
“Maybe so. I just heard from Nishimeya san that all the schools in the city are half closed.”
“Well, I guess it can’t be helped if it’s crowded. I’m starving, but we have no choice but to wait in line.”
“They say hunger is the best seasoning.”
The two of us waited in line at the end of the line.
We were waiting in line for about 30 minutes when suddenly there was the sound of a bicycle’s emergency brake.
“Hey there, you two. What a coincidence.”
“S-Sotogahama san? Why are you here?”
“Well, I just happened to see you two.”
“O-oh…..coincidence……”
It was Riria who appeared as if she was doing a drift on her beloved bicycle.
And as usual, she doesn’t seem at all embarrassed about the wind blowing her skirt up and exposing her underwear.
Today it was brown fabric with turquoise blue lace.
It has the look of the expensive chocolates sold in the basement of department stores during Valentine’s Day.
There are so many variations of just pants, Riria says.
It was a coincidence, she said, but she probably saw my location on the SENLY app and followed me.
Haruto and Riria must not have been friends yet, so she must have anticipated that I would be with him and set up a trap.
What a perceptive guy …..
“Heh, you’re here to eat Ramen.”
“Well, yeah. The ramen here is really filling, and I’m hungry now so I guess it’s definitely worth it.”
“I see……. can I join you?”
“Eh, fine, but it’s quite a large volume. Are you okay wih that, Sotogahama san?”
“Leave it to me. It’s a cheat day.”
“I’m not talking about calorie control……I’m talking about stomach capacity……”
“Oh, that. I’ll be fine
!”
With a beaming smile, Riria stood behind Haruto and me.
Haruto had said he didn’t like her because she was always talking about vulgar things during lunch breaks, but once they started talking, they quickly became friends.
With Riria’s natural sociability, they were able to chat to each other. That’s amazing Riria, how did you do it?
While we chatted, the line progressed and we were able to buy our meal tickets and be seated at the counter.
After each of us finished our calls and waited for a while, a rather hearty bowl of ramen appeared in front of us.
“Wow……it looks even more impressive today…….”
“Right…..I wonder if I can eat it.”
“Wow, it’s pretty impressive. This is no problem.”
After the three of us reacted in different ways as soon as the bowl arrived, each of us picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and started chomping down on the ramen.
–Yeah. Getting hit with a punch of oil and noodles at the beginning is just awesome.
It gets harder and harder to eat.
I eat in silence and manage to finish my meal.
Haruto finished the vegetable ramen with a cool face. As expected
Riria, on the other hand….
“Hmmph, this is no problem. Next time, I think I can handle a double large pork.”
“Wow,…..you finished that amount of food.”
“It’s true, even a woman can eat that much.”
Riria ordered almost the same amount as Haruto, but without the garlic.
I thought she wouldn’t be able to finish it and would have to apologize to the owner on her knees ! But she finished it without stopping her chopsticks.
Come on, this is the part where you can’t finish eating and leave it behind.
Kneeling on the ground is your family specialty, right, Riria……
I left the store unable to hide my surprise.
The spring breeze is very comfortable after a fight.
…However, you’ll have to ignore the fragrant garlic smell emanating from your entire body.
No, I’ll hold my nose.
“Hmm, it’s nice to eat something junky like this every once in a while.”
“I didn’t think Sotogahama san would eat that much. You’re a good eater.”
“Right? I’m the one who eats the most when I go to all-you-can-eat sweets parties with the group of girls.”
“Eeek…a calorie ghost…”
“Well, when it comes to me, that’s a piece of cake, you know? Those kind of things have a high cost ratio, after all.”
Riria proudly began to tell the tale of her exploits at the all-you-can-eat sweets restaurant.
I’ve never had the feeling of getting heartburn just listening to her story.
“S-sorry, I’m starting to feel a little sick……”
“Haruto, you good?”
“Y-yeah. I guess my stomach feels a bit heavy after eating a bit too much.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard. After all, Haruto is the power word of the basketball club.”
“……Power forward.”
“…Sorry about that.”
Deciding that it was dangerous to continue listening to Riria talk about sweets, I urged Haruto to go home and rest.
He still has a few competitions coming up, and he left somewhat apologetically.
…There’s no need to worry about it so much, Haruto. It’s Riria’s fault for not trying to stop her sweets tale.
“Oh…..Fujisaki-kun, he’s gone home.”
“Because Sotogahama san talks about sweets.”
“Because it’s true ! Why don’t we go to Sweets Shangri-La next time and show you the proof?”
“No, I don’t doubt the truth of the story ! I just wondered how you could continue to talk about sweets even though Haruto is not good with sweets.”
“……Eh, he’s not?”
“I didn’t realize it when I was watching the flow up until now, but that’s what you’d expect from Sotogahama san quality…”
“Wait a second, so that means I can’t go on a Sweets Shangri-La date with Fujisaki kun !?”
“That’s probably impossible. He’ll give up after just one shortcake.”
Riria is blatantly shocked.
I don’t know what kind of date course she had in mind, but sweets are strictly forbidden for Haruto.
Even Ayame san doesn’t send chocolates to Haruto on Valentine’s Day. Instead, she gives him a meat cake.
What’s even a meat cake?
“I wanted to chat more with Fujisaki kun, but I guess it can’t be helped…….”
“You’re not allowed to talk about sweet things in front of him.”
“I’ll be careful. By the way, are you free now, Hirakawa kun?”
“……Well, I’m free.”
“Then, since we’ve eaten so much, why don’t we go get some exercise for freshening up?”
Riria smiled fearlessly.
Eh? By ‘exercise’ does she mean…..?
