I Time Leaped Back To High School And Want To Live A Peaceful Life As I Did In The First Round, But The Beautiful Girls Are Doing Everything They Can To Stop Me - Chapter 88
Chapter 88: The Western-Style Restaurant in the Forest Cave
After recovering from motion sickness, we headed to the restaurant.
It seems better to avoid the crowded daytime and have an early meal.
“Is this place okay?”
We were guided to a shop that seemed to have a door in a rock-made cave.
The restaurant’s name is ‘The Western-style restaurant in the forest cave.’
The natural flowers and plants decorating the entrance add a charming touch.
“Yeah, this looks good.”
“Great. I like the atmosphere here, and the food is delicious.”
The interior of the restaurant is designed as if it were a renovated natural cave.
The walls have a rough texture, as if using the natural rock surface, and the pillars inside the shop exude a simple warmth made of curved logs of natural wood.
Of course, these are replicas, and they are probably made of concrete or something.
Because it’s a cave, it’s dimly lit, and the interior is softly illuminated by lamps.
“I’ll go for the omurice plate.”
“I think I’ll go for the hamburger plate.”
“Oh, that’s delicious too!”
“Then I’ll share some of mine.”
“Really!? Then I’ll share some of mine too!”
Even waiting in line at the restaurant makes us excited.
Honestly, I had underestimated the theme park.
I never thought that even with the high entrance fee, waiting in line for shopping or meals could be part of happiness.
We pick up our dishes before finding a seat, following the restaurant’s rules.
Although the interior is reasonably crowded, it’s surprisingly spacious, and we quickly find a seat.
“Wow, what!? It’s delicious!”
“Hehe. I told you, right?”
I didn’t expect the taste to be that great, but I was pleasantly surprised by how authentic it was.
The hamburger is moist and tender, and the demi-glace sauce has a rich and flavorful depth.
“The omurice is fluffy and delicious too.”
Sorane-san scoops up some omurice with a spoon and brings it close to my mouth.
Could it be…
“Yes, ahh.”
“Huh, no…”
“Ahh.”
The dim lighting in the restaurant—could it be for this reason?
While entertaining such foolish thoughts, I take a bite of the omurice.
“Is it delicious?”
“Yeah, it’s really delicious.”
“Then I’ll have some hamburgers too.”
Sorane-san opens her mouth a bit shyly. With a bit of tension, I bring the hamburger closer to her mouth, and she takes a bite.
“Mmm! Delicious! The hamburger is good too.”
“See?”
Sorane-san suddenly bursts into laughter.
“What’s so funny?”
“Coming here was written in my ‘Things I Want to Do’ notebook.”
“Oh, really?”
“Look, right here.”
Sorane-san takes out the ‘Things I Want to Do’ notebook from her bag and shows me the page.
“Let me see. ‘Have a meal at the Western-style restaurant in the forest cave with Saeki-kun’!? Is this limited to me!?”
“Yeah, it is. There are many other things I want to do with you written in this notebook. Let’s be together forever and keep dating, okay?”
“Of course. Uh, by any chance, there’s no bungee jumping, right?”
As a precaution, I confirm, but Sorane-san pretends not to hear and closes the notebook with a snap.
There’s definitely bungee jumping…
After lunch, we strolled around and enjoyed the scenery, taking a few rides on various attractions.
We couldn’t go to many attractions due to the long wait times, but simply wandering around in the beautiful surroundings with Sorane-san was fun.
As the day began to tilt toward evening, we entered a cafe inside the park for a break. From the second-floor terrace seat overlooking the canal, we could see gondolas passing by.
Our randomly drifting canzone music created a leisurely and calm atmosphere.
“Today was fun, right?”
“Huh, what’s with that tone, as if the day is over. There’s still the night parade to look forward to! The fun is far from over!”
Sorane-san made a slightly pouting face and held my hand under the table.
I squeezed her hand back in apology, and she responded by squeezing it tightly.
“By the way, Saeki-kun, in your story about the first loop, wasn’t it still in the middle?”
“Huh? Was it?”
I tried to act clueless, feigning ignorance.
“Yeah, it was. Last time, Hana-chan came while we were talking, and it got interrupted.”
“Oh, now that you mention it.”
“I want to hear the rest.”
While still holding hands, Sorane-san stared straight into my eyes.
“Why ask about that? The future has already changed, and there’s no point in worrying about it.”
“I’m curious. I want to know how the Saeki-kun from the first loop lived.”
“There might be some stories that won’t make you feel good, you know?”
Sorane-san slowly nodded, delivering a cautionary message, as if she had mentally prepared herself.
“I understand. I’m ready.”
She seems to understand what I’m trying to convey.
Still, why does she want to know, even after being aware of that?
