This is exactly what the Manchu Han Imperial Feast was all about.
Upon entering the Chinese restaurant, we were ushered to a revolving round table that was just like a Chinese restaurant.
We ordered the all-you-can-eat lunch special for sixty minutes.
“A-are you sure, Ayame san? I thought all-you-can-eat at a restaurant like this would be pretty expensive…..?”
“No, it’s fine. It is surprisingly reasonable thanks to the company discount. You can eat whatever you want.”
“Thank you !”
I looked at the menu on the touch panel and ordered this and that.
There’s fried chicken, yulinchi……peking duck !
And ankake fried rice ! ! !
Eh….? Can I eat as much of this as I want today……?
There is another helping, too.
“Well, I’ll be ordering beer. There’s even transportation, it’s almost like being an aristocrat.”
“Hm? Ayame san, can you drink?”
“Last week I turned 20. Yay.”
Ayame san taps a mug of draft beer on the touch panel while showing a V-sign.
I see, I always thought of her as my best friend’s caring older sister, but I guess she’s old enough to drink alcohol now.
I’m getting old, though I’m still in my second year.
The food comes to the table one after another, and I proceed to eat at a furious pace.
It’s delicious….. too delicious……!
The wind is talking to me ……!
“You’re a great eater, Asahi kun.”
“No, not as good as Haruto.”
“Ugh……”
Perhaps because I mentioned the word ‘Haruto’, Ayame san’s expression clouded over for a moment.
Then I had a hunch.
Perhaps she actually wanted to bring Haruto here.
I felt a little guilty for having done something to put a damper on Ayame san’s efforts to become more independent.
“Ah… I’m sorry, that was insensitive…”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. In the end, what happened with Haru kun is my own fault. Asahi kun is not to blame.”
“I hope so.”
“Rather, I feel like it’s become an opportunity to take a fresh look at myself. I also feel like I can do what Asahi kun said, ‘supporting my idol.'”
“I’m glad to hear that. You must have found a good ‘idol’.”
“Yeah. Look at this.”
Ayame san took out her smartphone and showed me some pictures.
The images showed a group of six men with beautiful and somewhat neutral faces.
At a glance, they looked like an idol group.
However, they looked a little younger than most male idol groups……
“Are these….idols?”
“Yes ! They’re called [Chocolate Bubbles] I was looking at some short videos by chance, and I found them really cute.”
“S-so you’re into a cute type……”
“They’re all like little brothers, aren’t they? They do this performance of being all spoiled, and it’s just the best.”
“O-oh……I see.”
……That’s what you mean.
In the original world, there were idols of the little sister type.
So it’s not surprising that there are these kinds of idol groups. There are probably many people like Ayame san in this world.
The “Chocolate Bubbles” are a group of six short boys who still have an innocent look about them.
They are selling their products to rave reviews and are actively performing live and broadcasting on social networking sites.
“They seem to be just starting out so I wanted to support them. I’ve decided to go see their next live performance.”
“I see. I’m glad you seem to be enjoying yourself.”
“Thanks to Asahi kun, I met a new ‘idol’ so I’m celebrating today.”
“It’s nothing serious. It was Ayame san who took action.”
“You can say that again. If it had gone on like this, Haru kun would have cut me off, so this was a big help.”
“Haha……”
Ayame san drinks up the beer in her mug with a good drink.
The mug looks smaller when she holds it.
The all-you-can-eat event reached its climax.
At first I ate a lot, but gradually I felt full and didn’t need to order any more.
I’m happy to eat as much as I want.
This restaurant is so good, I’ll keep it in mind.
Suddenly, I looked at Ayame san and saw that her face had turned red and her eyes had turned dull.
……Hm? She only drank one mug of beer, right?
She was drinking so vigorously, but maybe Ayame san is weak at drinking……?
“……Ayame san? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine. I can still drink.”
I knew it. The alcohol has kicked in and the drink is completely done.
She had just turned 20 years old the other day, so maybe she didn’t know if she was a strong drinker or not yet.
“No, no, you can’t drink any more than that. It’s getting late, so let’s wrap it up now.”
“Uhh, then pay with this.”
Ayame san took her purse out of her bag and handed it to me.
I called the waiter, paid the bill, and called a cab to take her home.
The company discount was in effect, so the price was much cheaper than I thought it would be. This is a nice place.
I lend a shoulder to Ayame san, who is now drunk and shaky, and we manage to get into the car.
I’ll just have them take Ayame san to the station and think about the rest then. Yes, if the worst happens I can just summon Haruto.
I promised myself that the next time I see Ayame san, I’ll make sure not to let her drink alcohol.
In the car.
Ayame san immediately fell asleep. She looks happy, as if she is having a good dream.
“Hehehe…..Haru kun……”
Ah, this is no good. She’s definitely having fun pampering Haruto in my dreams.
The most important thing to remember is that you can’t be too dependent on Haruhito.
The fullness of the stomach and the comfortable shaking of the car made me sleepy too.
Well, it’ll take a while to get to the station, so I’ll take a quick nap…
The car, carrying one drunk person and one binge-eater who had passed out, headed towards the station…
–That was supposed to be the case.
