The Reason Why The Cool Beauty Who Repeatedly Ignores Messages Replies Only To Me. ~The Lonely Beauty Wants To Know The Lonely Me〜 - Chapter 34
Chapter 34: Party Games
Even after that, Saeki and her sister’s appetites showed no signs of stopping.
They devoured the third and fourth batches of takoyaki with gusto.
“Seafood isn’t bad once in a while.”
“…Yeah.”
Seafood… Well, technically, it is.
Her younger sister said earlier that they only eat delivery food, but have they been eating only delivery meat since their mother went on a trip overseas?
“Still, I ate quite a lot…”
“Okami-kun, I still want more.”
“No more octopus.”
“…Sister. There are sausages in the fridge.”
“Then let’s go for a fifth round with sausages.”
“You guys…”
It was amazing.
Even in the fifth and sixth rounds, the Saeki sisters calmly ate the sausage-filled takoyaki.
At some point, I had resigned myself to being the cook and watched them eat in silence.
“You guys are eating way too much…”
“”……””
Saeki and her sister continued to devour the takoyaki I made one after another.
“This is a takopa, so can’t you two just enjoy eating a little more?”
“…I don’t think there’s any need to chat and laugh while eating.”
Saeki said this, and her sister nodded in agreement while stuffing her mouth with takoyaki.
“You were planning to have a home party, right? Instead, it’s been like a funeral with all this silent eating.”
“Do you prefer a noisy party, Okami?”
“Well… no.”
“Come to think of it, we had a game we wanted to play during the home party. We forgot because of the takoyaki.”
“A game?”
“Mishiro, bring it over.”
“Right away.”
Her sister brought a common shock game gadget shaped like a hand.
“It’s a lie detector.”
“Where did this come from all of a sudden?”
“…I heard from my sister that Okami is a tsundere. That’s why I bought it.”
“Ha?”
I glared at Saeki, who quickly looked away.
“How am I a tsundere?”
“…In every way.”
“You’re just making stuff up.”
“It’s the truth.”
“You…”
“You two…seem really close.”
“We are not.”
When I denied it, Saeki pouted and silently grabbed my right hand.
“Just put it down.”
“N-No, I don’t want to.”
“If you do, I’ll delete the photo I took of you in casual clothes from my cloud storage.”
“That’s not a fair trade! And you still have that photo?”
“…Okami wants to do something party-like, right? It’s annoying, so do it quickly.”
Her sister spat out the words. Well, it’s just a little party game. Getting all worked up about it would be embarrassing.
“…F-Fine. Let’s do it.”
I placed my right hand on the lie detector’s handprint.
“Alright, the question is… Okami, do you like me?”
“Huh?!”
“…Please answer, Okami-kun.”
This is supposed to be just for fun, but… why does it feel so heavy? Her sister smirked, showing her fangs, while Saeki pursed her lips tightly.
“N-Not really… I don’t like her.”
When I answered, the sister pressed the button on the lie detector, and music started playing. When it stopped—
“Ow—!”
A shock ran through me, and I quickly pulled my hand away.
“…I see. Okami, you really are a tsundere.”
“T-This thing! This happens to everyone, no matter who does it!”
“…Sister, that’s a shame.”
Saeki glanced sideways at her sister.
“Why do you look so triumphant? Even if Okami-kun liked you, it wouldn’t be worth a single yen.”
“You’re just jealous.”
“Hmm… Okami-kun probably just likes your boobs.”
“Is that true, Okami?”
“I already said I don’t like you.”
“…Then prove it.”
The sister forcibly pressed my right hand onto the lie detector and asked, “Okami, do you like my boobs?”
“I told you I don’t—ow! See, it shocks no matter who uses it! I really mean it, your chest—”
“…Okami, you’re the worst. Gross, disappear.”
Ah… if only I could disappear.
