Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 69: Minx and Pancakes

Chapter 69: Minx and Pancakes

“Thank you for waiting. Here’s the Mega-size Strawberry Cream Pancake.”

Finally…

After waiting for such a long time, enduring the heat outside, it was worth it.

It looks perfect. 

The cream is piled up just as the name suggests… 

It looks fantastic.

“Wow, it looks delicious.”

“Yeah, really appetizing.”

Truly mouthwatering. 

Now, we just have to wait for her pancake to arrive.

“Fufu, you can go ahead and start eating.”

“No… I’ll wait.”

I should wait. 

Ah, but it looks seriously delicious. 

Uncharacteristically, I’m getting excited.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Here’s the Tropical Banana Pancake.”

Oh… Yamamoto’s pancake looks delicious too. 

Wait, didn’t she say she liked strawberries before?

“Well then, Mamiya-kun, let’s eat.”

Ah, that’s right. 

Right now, I want to devour this Mega-size Strawberry Cream Pancake in front of me.

“Itadakimasu.”

“Itadakimasu.”

“…”

“Fufu, how is it, Mamiya-kun?”

“…It’s, it’s too delicious.”

It’s really tasty… 

Honestly, I had a lot of regrets about this situation just a moment ago. 

But with one bite, everything disappeared. 

I’m so glad I came… 

It’s truly the best.

“Fufu, I’ve never seen that expression on your face before, Mamiya-kun.”

I wonder what kind of face I’m making…

Well, that doesn’t matter. 

Anyway, as I bring the pancake in front of me to my mouth and take another bite…

“Hey, you know, I kinda want to try Mamiya-kun’s strawberry one too. Is that okay?”

So she does like strawberries after all.

“Ah… Of course, go ahead.”

Certainly… 

Thanks to her, I’m experiencing the best pancakes here.

Saying that, I offer her my plate with the pancake.

But… If that’s the case, she should have ordered the strawberry one for her too.

“There we go… Fufu, I wonder how it tastes.”

It’s bound to be delicious.

“Mmm, it’s delicious!”

Of course it is… 

It’s incredibly tasty.

“But you know, Mamiya-kun, this banana one is also really delicious.”

Saying that, she smiles kindly at me again.

It does look tempting…

Honestly, you can tell it’s delicious just by the aroma.

“Do you want some?”

Since I came all the way here, I really want to try it…

“Is… Is it okay?”

“Fufu, of course! Here you go!”

Huh? Wait…

As soon as she said that, a fork with a mouthful of pancake was right in front of my mouth.

“Come on.”

“Huh…?”

“Come on. You want to try it, right, Mamiya-kun?”

“…”

Wait, I remember something like this happening during the school trip.

Back then, I ended up not eating it and just ran away.

But this time, I can’t really…

What am I even thinking?

Uh muff…
Before I knew it, the banana pancake was in my mouth.

She’s forcefully pushing the pancake into my mouth, and I…

“Fufu, delicious, right?”

“…?”

Honestly… I can’t taste anything.

“Hehe, I guess you couldn’t tell from just one bite, huh? Here, try one more.”

Huh?

Muff…

“See? It’s delicious, right? Fufu.”

“…Well.”

I reflexively answer like that, but still, I can’t taste anything.

It should definitely be delicious…

Why is she okay with this?

It’s really…

“I wonder what people really think of us. Fufu.”

Seriously…

Why would she say something like that…

At this timing…

Is she slipping into her bad habit again…

Well, either way, it’s strange…

Her cheeks turning red…

And my heart…

What on earth is she thinking…

Like this, I can’t enjoy the taste of the pancake…

Really…

What should I do…

Really…

Also, it feels like the people around us are getting restless.

What’s going on?

“Come on, one more bite. Say ‘aah.’ Fufu.”

Again…

Why is she doing this to me?

It’s weird, you know?

And me, thinking such strange things…

It’s weird, right?

Why do I become so aware of her…

Even though it’s impossible…

Lately, I don’t understand a lot of things…

And still, I can’t taste anything.

It should have been absolutely delicious…

And now, there’s nothing left on my plate.

Somehow, her plate is empty too.

Sigh… I guess it’s time to go.

There’s no point in overthinking things…

It was nothing more than a thank you for helping with the study session.

No more, no less.

That’s really all there is to it.

Well… At least I got to taste how good it was.

“Shall we head back now?”

“Yeah… It was really delicious.”

Well, there are various thoughts swirling around, but overall, I’m glad I came…

With that in mind, I stand up from my seat.

“Oh, Prince? Look! It is the Prince!?”

Huh?

I faintly hear a woman’s voice saying something like that from a distance… 

I wonder if she’s addicted to some social game or something?

Anyway, that doesn’t matter.

For now, that first bite… It was truly amazing.

I was moved.

Next time, I’ll figure out a way to come here alone…

But it really was delicious…

Yeah. It was the best.
