The awkwardness continued, but it ended when we came to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was busy with seals and penguins swimming and walking on land.
As luck would have it, it was just about meal time, and there was more of a crowd in front of the glass than on any other floor.
We tried to get close, but there were too many people and we couldn’t get a good look.
“I felt lucky or unlucky.”
“Maybe it’s unlucky. We couldn’t see them.”
The penguins were cute, but we were disappointed.
“I wanted to see them. We should have done it on a weekday.”
It was a holiday today, and there were many families there.
“Why don’t you come back again? We still have summer vacation.”
Fuyusaki widened her eyes at me when I said that.
“Will you go with me again?”
“No, not with me, but with your friends and family.”
“No, I’m only coming with you, Mitsui kun.”
When she says such a line, I get nervous.
(How does she feel when she says that?)
I don’t think that’s the kind of line you would say to a man who was your ex-brother and family member.
Well, maybe I’m crazy for thinking Fuyusaki is cute, too.
After visiting the 4th floor, we moved to the annex to see the orca performance.
Reserving a seat for the show an hour later was surprisingly free, and I was able to do it easily.
With time to kill, we decided to have lunch at a restaurant in the same building.
“It was hard to decide which one to have.”
The restaurant is buffet-style, with a variety of food on the shelves, and the kitchen is busy with a chef who is cooking in real time.
“If you wanna eat, why don’t you just take all of them? What are you confused about?”
“…Mitsui kun, there are many things a girl has to take care of, you know.”
“I see.”
I somehow guessed it and unconsciously muttered in a small voice.
“Is it your weight?”
At that moment, Fuyusaki glared at me with an expression like Hannya.
I could see a black aura from her back.
“What did you say? Mitsui kun.”
“No, nothing.”
It seems to be true that a person who is always mild-mannered is scarier than anything else when he gets really angry.
While Fuyusaki was worried, I put what I wanted to eat on my plate.
When I got to Fuyusaki’s place after putting some of the food on her plate, I found that she had put all the food on her plate after all.
I wanted to make a remark to her, [You’re gonna eat it after all !] but I was afraid, so I swallowed it down.
“That’s amazing.”
While looking for an empty seat, I looked at the aquarium in the restaurant.
There were two orcas swimming in the tank, which were supposed to be putting on a show, and they were a sight to behold.
“Since we’re here, do you wanna eat near the tank?”
“No, I’m afraid to eat too close to the tank.”
I don’t like to be near the orcas either, so I respect Fuyusaki’s opinion and take a seat far away from the tanks.
We eat while talking about school and other things.
Every time she takes a mouthful of food, she eats it with a delicious smile on her face. I said what I thought when I saw Fuyusaki eating her food with a delicious smile on her face.
“You used to be unfriendly, but now you can show different expressions.”
When I said that, she blushed a little and made an embarrassed expression.
This is also an expression you didn’t show in the past.
“I used to be very afraid back then. To men.”
“Afraid?”
Fuyusaki resumed eating, even though I asked her that.
It was as if she was being brushed off.
I was curious, but I couldn’t ask her about it, so I resumed my meal as well.
Maybe it was not the right thing to ask during a pleasant time.
I reflected a little and changed my mind.
