“Shall we begin?”
“Yes !”
After returning home, we started the yakiniku party right away.
We set up a hot plate on the usual table and sat down with a heaping pile of white rice.
We had a wide variety of meats on the table, including ribs, loin, belly, tongue,intestines, liver, and so on.
The first to be grilled is the tongue.
Haku san is curious to see how the meat changes color with a sizzling sound, and he lets out an exclamation of admiration restlessly.
“Can we eat it already !? Can we !?”
“I think so. Then, please eat it with this green onion and soy sauce.”
“Okay !”
Chopsticks in one hand, voraciously mooching.
After receiving my green light, Haku san took a piece of tongue, put it on a plate, poured homemade green onion soy sauce on it, and brought it to her mouth.
“Hmmmm～～! ! This is too good ! !”
“Store meat is always delicious, isn’t it?”
“The meat is the same, but this sauce ! I think it might be my favorite yakiniku sauce I’ve ever had ! I mean, I love it ! I love it the most !”
The second, third, and fourth pieces of tongue disappear from the plate at a tremendous rate.
In proportion to this, the mountains of white rice are falling apart, and there is only a little left.
“You should eat some too, Inami ! It’s very delicious !”
“Ah, right. Let’s dig in !”
Watching Haku san’s eat makes me hungry.
I’ll have one too……yeah, it’s delicious.
As for the sauce, I just reproduced the taste of the store-bought one, but when you make it at home, you can add more green onions without limit. I’m personally quite happy with it and try to make it whenever I do yakiniku. It goes well with other meats as well as tongue, and if you have any leftovers, you can just add it to fried rice.
“Inami, you don’t eat rice?”
“I have some over here. I’ll have some later if I have room in my stomach.”
Psshhhh.
I opened a can of Chu-Hi and poured the salty taste in my mouth into my stomach.
I don’t drink at all in the stream, but I do like to drink.
I’m always short of money, so I can only drink once in a while.
“Don’t worry. I won’t get violent even if I get drunk, and I don’t drink enough to get drunk in the first place.”
“Hmm, alcohol. I’ve never had one before.”
She looked at my can of Chu-Hi greedily.
I’d give it to her, but is Haku san an adult? How old is she anyway?
She is definitely in her twenties by the looks of it, but there is a possibility that she is just appear mature. I mean, she said she didn’t even know the country she was born in, so how could she even know her age?
“I have the same one in the fridge, so would you like me to get it for you?”
“You sure !?”
“Yes, let’s drink together.”
“Yay ! Thanks !”
It was possible that she was underage, but it would be strange to make someone who kills for a living obey Japanese law, so I didn’t ask any questions and headed for the refrigerator.
◆
“Ugh, Inami.”
“Yes, yes. What is it?”
“Uhehehehe, I just called you.”
“……I see.”
The rain hit my umbrella and made a pitter-pattering sound.
I was walking down the street at night, lending my shoulder to Haku san to take her home.
Sigh…how come this happened?
Haku san was drunkenly crushed by a single can of Chu-Hi.
When I told her to go home because it was time to go, she started to beg me to stay with her forever.
Well, to be honest, it was cute…..but I can’t just let her stay at a guy’s house.
I told her I would call a cab, but she ignored me. I had no choice but to suggest walking with her to her house, and she reluctantly agreed, and here we are.
“Inami.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Love, I love you.”
“…..H-haa……”
Leaning over me, she makes sweet noises in my ear.
It’s unusually bad for my heart.
I’m trying to maintain my composure, but if I let my guard down even a little, I feel like something strange will happen.
“Inami, is your face red? What’s wrong?”
“N-no…..haha………”
“Why? Let Haku san take a good look at you.”
“Hey, that’s……!”
She put her hand on my cheek and pinched it firmly, pulling me towards her.
A frighteningly beautiful face is right in front of my eyes. She opened and closed her drunken eyes, so close that I could even feel her breath.
“Ah. Your face is turning red again.”
“…..I-if it’s this close, that’s what will happen…!”
“Why? Is that normal?”
“……!”
“Fufufu. Inami you pervert.”
I was so surprised that I stiffened up, and Haku san looked at me and cleared her throat in a bewitching manner.
“But oh, well, I guess that’s just the way it is.”
“W-what is it?”
She wrapped her arms around my neck, stretched slightly, and brought her face closer to me. The smell of rain and her scent tickling my nostrils. She looks at me in her wet silver eyes and smiles.
“…If it’s Inami, I don’t mind what you do to me. You’re an….important person.”
The sweet whispers that almost numb me.
A lustrous breath.
At that moment, a tremendous shock ran through my rationality—.
A truck passed by on the roadway right next to us, and there was a huge splash of water.
I quickly grabbed Haku san in my arms and turned my back to the roadway to protect her.
Thank God, I made it in time.
It would have been a disaster if Haku san’s coat, which I had just bought, had gotten wet, of course. …..Instead, my back is soaking wet and I’m ridiculously cold.
“….Ooooh…..I-Inami……?”
“I-I’m sorry ! I didn’t mean to make you feel weird or anything, I just didn’t want to get you wet……!”
Haku san moaning in my arms.
Perhaps she had woken up from the sudden surprise, but her face was a bit more clear than before.
Let’s get away from here right away.
I thought so and relaxed my arms, but this time she hugged me and I couldn’t move.
“Inami got wet for my sake ! You shouldn’t have covered me !”
“I was acting unconsciously. Don’t worry about it, I did it on my own.”
“I do worry ! Because I care about Inami !”
“I care about you too, Haku san.”
When I replied to her, her mouth fell shut and she became rigid.
Her face turned red and she twitched like a broken toy, finally nuzzling her face into my chest.
…I let something happen and said something quite embarrassing.
Well, I can’t make Haku-san feel guilty, so I guess it can’t be helped.
“It’s important, so please let me stretch my body at least a little. …Also, I know you’re probably drunk, but please don’t be so flippant and say things like you don’t care what I did to you. If I were being serious, what were you planning to do?”
Ahaha, I said jokingly.
Haku san looked up at me, blinked twice or thrice, bit her cherry-red lips and lowered ers gaze.
e grips my clothes with her thin white fingers.
The wrinkles in my clothes.
The faint warmth of her body that can be felt even through her clothes.
Her heat.
“….I won’t do anything.”
“E-excuse me? You won’t do anything….eh, what do you mean by that….?”
Shetook a shallow breath of air and gently tapped my chest with her forehead.
“….You’ll understand once you get serious……”
A few seconds of silence.
After a while, she raised her gaze and looked at me again.
Serious eyes with no sign of drunkenness.
Her breathing is erratic even though she is not running, and my gaze is drawn to her mouth.
“Akkchooooo ! !”
I let out a big sneeze, blowing away the strange air that was filling under my umbrella.
I managed to turn my head away just in the nick of time and avoid hitting Haku, but…..this is bad. Maybe I caught a cold?
“L-let’s get out of here. It’s getting quite cold so…”
“Ah. Uh, yeah ! Right !”
Haku san seemed to have come back to her senses as well, and returned to her usual state.
However, her hand was still gripping my clothes tightly.
