The Reason Why The Cool Beauty Who Repeatedly Ignores Messages Replies Only To Me. ~The Lonely Beauty Wants To Know The Lonely Me〜 - Chapter 30

Episode 30: Takopa Preparation Complete?

Despite being exhausted from managing the (foolish) sisters who tried to buy only meat at the supermarket, I managed to purchase the ingredients for takoyaki.

Just thinking about this as a preparation stage made me want to scratch my head in frustration.

Calm down, me… the shopping isn’t over yet.

Suppressing my anger, I looked for a place nearby that might sell a takoyaki maker and stopped by a store called “Don☆Quijote”.

Walking through the store, where the familiar theme song played, I led the beautiful (problematic) sisters.

“…Hey, Okami-kun, do we really need a special machine for takoyaki? Can’t we just use a frying pan?”

“Of course we do. How are you going to make those spherical shapes with a regular frying pan?”

“…Maybe with sheer willpower. Just shape them with your hands.”

“Don’t suddenly act like you have zero intelligence.”

“…That was supposed to be a joke, though.”

“Was it a joke? I thought you were serious.”

Saeki silently pinched my arm and turned away. Ah, it seems I upset her.

“Is everything okay with your sister?”

“She wanted to do a husband-wife comedy act.”

“What?”

“You wanted to, didn’t you?”

“I-I don’t get it, and Saeki and I don’t have the kind of relationship you think we do.”

“…Tsk, for an introvert, you’re pretty picky.”

“Don’t suddenly start being rude.”

With the sulking Saeki sisters in tow, we wandered through “Don☆Quijote”. In the corner with party supplies, we found a takoyaki maker.

“Since you guys paid for the ingredients, I’ll buy this machine.”

“But we invited you, so you don’t have to… are you just trying to look cool, Okami?”

“I’m not.”

“Mishiro. Okami-kun is that kind of guy. Let’s take him up on his offer.”

Why does Saeki always act like she understands me…? We’ve only known each other for about a month.

I handed the shopping bags to the Saeki sisters and bought the hand-sized takoyaki maker.

“Now we’re ready for the takopa… By the way, I forgot to ask, aren’t your parents home?”

“Our father is always overseas… Usually, it’s just the three of us with our mother, but she’s visiting our father for the summer.”

“Well… if your mother went, why didn’t you guys go with her?”

“”……””

The two of them started glaring at each other simultaneously at my question.

What now? Another sibling fight?

“The truth is, my sister—”

“No, Okami-kun. Mishiro wanted to stay home and play MiniMon all summer.”

“MiniMon?”

“Stop it, sister… please.”

MiniMon is a popular global exploration RPG where you train monsters to battle automatically. It’s primarily a single-player game, and I actually play it a lot too.

“You play MiniMon?”

“…Yeah, so what? Are you going to make fun of me for being childish?”

“I’m not making fun of you. I play MiniMon too.”

“Really? …Okami, you play MiniMon?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you do any selection?”

“Well, yeah. I even compete in online matches.”

“…!”

Mishiro suddenly started tugging at my clothes.

“Teach me… I want to get stronger in MiniMon.”

An unexpected resonance. I didn’t expect this delinquent sister to have such a hobby.

“Wait a minute, Mishiro… why are you getting excited on your own?”

“I’m not getting excited.”

“And Okami-kun, it’s unfair to suddenly reveal a new hobby.”

“Unfair?”

“Teach me… MiniMon as well.”

Saeki mumbled while fidgeting.

“You said before that you weren’t interested in games.”

“I changed my mind.”

“Only changing your mind now is unfair.”

“You’re the one who said you’d cooperate today and now you’re trying to steal him away.”

“I’m not! Besides, I don’t even want to hold hands with this introvert.”

“If you’re going to say that, then just behave yourself.”

“Okay, okay, enough fighting already.”

It’s not good. These sisters are beautiful and busty but almost like taking care of kids.

“I’ll teach you two after the takoyaki party, so let’s head to your apartment now.”

The two of them nodded simultaneously.

They’re twins in this aspect…

And so, the chaotic takoyaki party began.
