“I can’t do it, Akiho! Forgive me no more! It’s really embarrassing!”
“Eh… why do you hate it? Once in a while is fine! Give up and accept my ah, Shin-kun!”
If you ask me what in the world was happening, all I could answer was, as one could see, the couple of bakappuru (stupid couple) were in their bakappuru element in the family restaurant where they entered to fill their bellies.
With a big smile on her face, Otsuki-san thrusted a pancake at Shinji to feed him. I clasped my hands together inwardly, feeling sympathy for my best friend, who was looking at me for help with a red face. It was karma. It was his punishment for laughing at Kaede’s pampering and my trouble.
By the way, Kaede was asked by Otsuki-san to film the exchange between the two of us.
“I see. So this is the power of the first generation bakappuru of Meiwadai High School? I had indeed misjudged. This is a level comparable to Kaede-neesan and Yoshizumi senpai…”
Yui-chan ate her pasta with an impressed look on her face, while Nikaido drank her iced coffee, shrugging off her shoulders.
“If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be called a ‘bakappuru’ (stupid couple). Or rather, Yui-chan, are you saying that Kaede and I are on the same level as this?”
By the way, I ordered the hamburger steak for lunch. Eating at a place like this was still expensive and I felt sorry for the restaurant, but Kaede’s homemade food tasted better.
“No, in Yoshizumi-senpai’s case, the two of them are still better because they are flirting with each other everywhere. On the contrary, that’s the only difference.”
“Nikaido-san, you’re saying that Kaede and I are a better couple than you? Do you honestly not understand that?”
“Huh? What are you saying, Yoshizumi? You and Hitotsuba-san are more than just a couple, aren’t you?”
“Nikaido-senpai is right. You look like you’re different, but Yoshizumi-senpai and Kaede-neesan are pretty much the same, you know? They’re already famous among the first-year students, right?”
They shrug their shoulders at the same time. While me, Nikaido and Yui-chan were having a casual conversation like this, Shinji and Ootsuki-san’s marital comedy continues.
“Um… Aren’t you ashamed of yourself, Akiho? If it’s just the two of you, I can’t believe you’re doing this in front of everyone.”
“Well…, something like seeing Kaede and Yoshi making out every day has paralyzed your senses, so we’re not embarrassed at all, isn’t that it?”
“I see. That means it’s Yuya’s fault. Oh, Hitotsuba-san. Can you at least do me a favor and stop taking… pictures?”
Kaede, who had already finished her lunch, pointed the camera lens of her phone at Shinji and Otsuki-san.
“Ufff… Don’t worry, Higurashi-kun. I didn’t take any pictures.”
Kaede, I wouldn’t trust you one bit when you say ‘Please rest assured’ with an evil smile on your face. As evidence of that, Kaede raised the corners of her mouth, “Please don’t worry. I’ve taken a video of you and Akiho-chan having fun together.”
With that, she pronounced his death sentence. At that moment, Shinji’s expression became like Munch’s cry. I should have come to that possibility when I didn’t hear the sound from the shutter. Unfortunately, she had already captured Otsuki-san feeding you several times.
“Yuya! You knew that Hitotsuba-san was filming the video! And yet you didn’t tell me, that’s just too much!”
“Hahahaha. Otsuki-san said that too, right? Once in a while, it’s good to flirt to your heart’s content. It’s called Bureikoh, Shinji-kun.”
[TN: Bureikoh – a position where you can speak and act freely without considering the pressure and authority of others.]
“Putting aside whether it’s the right way to use Bureiko, I don’t want you to flirt to your heart’s content, Yoshizumi,” Nikaido sighed as if she had enough.
“I like it. I wish Kaede-neesan had fed me too. She used to do that for me a lot in the past.”
Yui-chan, who finished her large bowl of pasta while complaining, began to eat the parfait she ordered as an after-meal dessert. There weren’t many girls for whom the phrase ‘another stomach for sweet’ fit so well.
“Yui-chan has always been a good eater. And yet her body shape hasn’t changed, so I envy her,” Kaede said with a bitter smile, while Yui-chan blurted out, staring off into the distance with her highlight-less eyes.
“I’ve got the same small body shape no matter how much I eat anyway. Unlike Kaede-neesan and Otsuki- senpai, I can’t have a nice body.”
Yui-chan sighed loudly and chewed on her parfait with a big mouthful. Nikaido sitting beside her nodded her head as if to comfort the cute junior. No, no, no, Nikaido-san, if anything, you were also a girl on Kaede’s side, right?
Because among the boys, Kaede, Nikaido, and Otsuki-san were secretly called the three most beautiful girls in Meiwadai. Compared to Kaede and Otsuki-san, who were overwhelmingly popular with the boys, Nikaido enjoyed wide popularity among both men and women and the fact that she received more Valentine’s Day chocolates than she could hold in February was proof of that.
“Nikaido-senpai is also just like Kaede-neesan, right? There are many girls who fell in love with Nikaido-senpai at first sight at the ball game tournament the other day! Also, Nikaido-senpai has a big enough chest too! In other words, she’s my enemy!”
Yui-chan, who was howling, was sadly the slowest to develop among the members. However, it was not that she had the body of a toddler, it was just that compared to Kaede and the others, she was the most stunted.
“Don’t cry, Yui-chan. I’m sure you’ll be just like Kaede someday!”
“Aaah! Yoshizumi-senpai is the worst! I’m so hurt, so I’ll order this special pancake as Yoshizumi-senpai’s treat! I’m sorry…!”
“Hey, Yui-chan! Are you still going to eat them? Or rather, could you please stop trying to order the expensive ones!”
“I’m sorry, Yuya-kun. I can’t defend you this time.”
Kaede gave up on me, and I had to buy Yui-chan a pancake that cost nearly 1,000 yen. It was too painful an expense for me, as I was having a hard time finding the money to pay for it.
