Chapter 10 – Restaurants I Don’t Usually Go To…

After going to the aquarium, I came to the shopping mall with Yozora-senpai.

We decided to have lunch here, not far from the aquarium.

“What do you want to eat?”

“With so many different things to choose from, it’s hard to decide…”

“Yeah, I’m the same. That’s why I asked you. I can’t help but hesitate.”

There are a variety of restaurants in the shopping mall. These range from family restaurants to conveyor-belt sushi and udon noodle shops.

I guess a family restaurant would be good. Most food is available, and it seems the safest option.

“Does Soichi have any favorite foods?”

“My favorite food, huh… It’s a bit of a problem when you say that. I mean, I have a lot.”

“I see, then maybe I should ask food you don’t like?”

“Basically, there is nothing I don’t like.”

“I see. So we can’t narrow it down from there.”

I was a little taken aback by Yozora-senpai’s words. Because I realized my mistake.

In a situation like this, I should have answered what I liked and disliked, even if it was a lie. It’s not very decisive. I should have thought more about that.

“What kind of restaurants do you usually go to then?”

“My usual…? Erm…”

I swallowed the words that I don’t eat out much.

I should say some kind of restaurant here, even if it’s a lie. I’m sure Yozora-senpai will suggest going there.

“I tend to go to family restaurants.”

“Family restaurant, huh? I see, let’s not go there today. Let’s eat somewhere else. Since we’re here, let’s explore some new places.”

“…Yes.”

My expectations were way off.

But I can certainly understand the pattern. And I don’t have a problem with it. I wasn’t obsessed with family restaurants either.

“By the way, are you familiar with fast food restaurants?”

“Eh? Ah, yes. I often go there with my friends.”

“Hmm…”

“Um… On the contrary, what kind of place does Yozora-senpai usually go to?”

“Unfortunately, I don’t tend to eat out much.”

“I-I see…”

I tried asking the question in reverse, only to receive empty answers from Yozora-senpai.

But that’s what I did earlier, so it’s not the time to be disappointed. We should think about where we’re going.

“…Ah, sorry. I eat out sometimes too. My dad takes me out.”

“What kind of place do you go to in those situations?”

“Sushi restaurants, for example.”

“Sushi restaurant…”

The sushi restaurant that Yozora-senpai is talking about probably isn’t a conveyor-belt sushi place here. It should be a more sophisticated sushi place.

Hearing that, the hurdle in my mind was raised considerably. I wonder if there’s a place in this shopping mall where I can take Yozora-senpai with me.

It might be better to go to the most expensive place possible. But will my wallet be okay?

“Soichi, what’s wrong?”

“Eh? No, it’s nothing. Ah, would you like some seafood?”

“Seafood… Ah, no. Never mind it.”

I was a little depressed by Yozora-senpai’s well-intentioned words.

I felt so embarrassed that she knew what I was thinking. As a boyfriend, this is kind of a shameful situation.

“Right. Let’s go to a conveyor-belt sushi place. I’ve actually been a bit interested in it for a while. The sushi goes around, right? I’d like to see it myself.”

“I-I see…”

I felt even more depressed when I realized that I was obviously being cared for…

But I switched my mind. If I stay depressed, I’ll make senpai feel even worse. I have no choice but to cheer up and hang in there.

“Okay. Then let’s go to the conveyor-belt sushi.”

“Yes, let’s do that, shall we?”

Yozora-senpai replied to my words with a smile.

Somehow I still feel like I’m being cared for, but I don’t care about that anymore… I need to entertain Yozora-senpai somehow from now on.
