Chapter 108: In My Boyfriend [side Yukari Tomonaga]
Kagetora: "Herasshuu!!"
Kagetora-san♡ I ca again today♪
Sho: "Welco! ...!!"
The staff stiffens up when he sees Mishima. Next to , Mishima looks a bit scared,
Mishima: "...Do we have to be here...?"
"Nope."
My stomach's already in the mood for My Boyfriend! Nothing else will do!
Another staff mber brings the nu, but there's no need to look at it.
I've already decided!
Mishima glances nervously between , the nu, and the staff.
Maybe it's because he's... Kousuke-kun's best friend.
It should be fine, right? He's just doing his job?
Did I do sothing awful?
*Because you betrayed his best friend. And you did sothing similar too, by the way.
But still, I can't decide... What am I hesitating about?
There's only one choice this ti of year, right?
Mishima keeps muttering things like, "Calories... Fat..." making the food sound unappetizing.
Ding dong! I press the button at my side to call the staff.
"Two Shin-kun Sets, please!"
Mishima: "...But I'll get fat..."
"Don't sweat the small stuff."
Maybe I should have said it more boldly?
Mishima: "...But I have to stay beautiful... I..."
Mishima looks like she's about to cry.
She's a terrible person, a traitor, her personality's a ss, but I guess she's got her own problems... since she's borrowing money... Maybe I'll listen to her? Until the curry cos?
"...I'll listen, okay?"
*Until the curry cos.
Mishima: "...You'll listen?! ...No, you wouldn't understand how I feel...!"
"...Well, of course I don't. But I'll listen, okay?"
*Because I'm borrowing money.
Mishima Satsuki went on and on about her class caste trauma and pride in her looks.
And then she started mumbling about having a complex because the Kousuke-kun she dumped is doing fine at Hokusho.
I just stare at the kitchen exit, waiting for the food to co out.
Mishima: "...And then..."
Mishima is totally absorbed in her own story.
...It's here!!
Sho: "Two Shin-kun Sets. ...Was that all for your order?"
The Shin-kun Set cos with original curry, original hamburger steak, bread or rice, salad, soup, and a dessert!
It's a super value set, usually 2,780 yen... but now only 1,480 yen!!
A special nu to celebrate Kagetora-san's long-awaited first son! Thank you for being born!
Mishima: "...There's no way I can eat all this!"
"Just clear your mind... It's fine to eat until you're full, once in a while."
Mishima: "...It's been a long ti since I ate with anyone besides family..."
Mishima starts eating, almost in tears.
If you're eating sothing delicious, you should eat it with a smile.
Well, whatever.
We start eating in silence.
Mishima: "Geez! I can't eat anymore!"
Mishima rubs her stomach.
It's not like her stomach's even showing! She finished the curry, but left more than half the hamburger, untouched bread and soup.
Should I eat it for you? When I ask, Mishima nods.
I quietly eat the rest. But Mishima keeps talking to .
Do you always co here? Are you going ho alone? She only asks awkward questions.
Mishima: "...Can I call you Yukari...?"
"Huh? I'd rather you didn't."
Satsuki: "...But you can call Satsuki... okay?"
I sigh and say,
"Then I'll call you Satsuki, but call Tomonaga-san, okay?"
Satsuki: "...I still don't like you."
I clean up Satsuki's leftovers, and finally, it's ti to pay.
I pull out my wallet, acting like I didn't know...! Go for it, Yukari!
Satsuki: "I don't want to owe you... I'll pay...!"
Huh? Really?
Before I know it, I say,
"Let's co again, okay?"
*Since she's treating.
Satsuki: "...We're coming again...?"
Thump!
For so reason, Satsuki blushes and shyly pays for My Boyfriend.
I'm about to head ho, but does Satsuki know the way to the station?
"Do you know which way to go ho?"
Satsuki: "...I don't know."
You can basically see the tracks from the way ho, so it's obvious, right?
We walk together without saying much.
"This is my house."
Satsuki: "This is...?"
It's just an ordinary house though.
Okay, to the station...
Kaori: "Yukari! Did you eat sothing again before coming ho... Huh? A friend? You brought a friend ho? Mama!! Yukari brought a friend ho!!"
"Kaori? Satsuki's about to go ho... Don't bother her."
Satsuki: "I want to stop by Yukari's house! ...Since I treated you earlier, it's fine, right?"
That's a weak spot for ...
Then have so tea before you go, okay? And then go ho?
For so reason, my family rolls out the red carpet for Satsuki.
Especially my little sister Kaori,
Kaori: "...Huh? Satsuki-san, did you enter the beauty contest too?"
Satsuki: "Yeah, but I lost to your sister..."
Kaori: "I can't believe my sister has such a beautiful friend... I totally thought she was a loner at school! A beautiful girl who totally looks top-clique as a friend!"
She's actually soone who got kicked out of the top clique, you know?
*Yukari also got kicked out of the top clique.
Mama and Kaori both take a real liking to Satsuki and chat away happily.
Satsuki stops acting all stuck-up and puts on her friendly beautiful-girl persona...
Things get lively at my house,
Kaori: "Satsuki-san, please co again!"
Mama: "Next ti, stay for dinner, okay?"
It's a huge welco.
I walk Satsuki to the station.
It's just one stop down the line, right? Good job, bye-bye!
And then,
Satsuki: "...Yukari, I have to apologize to you..."
So we're back to the conversation from the beginning.
I have no intention of forgiving her, but I do want her to apologize...
When I just stay silent, unable to say anything,
Satsuki: "...You'll forgive ?! ......?!"
I think it over a little...
This person... wasn't she in my redial class subjects?
"Satsuki, what subjects are you good at again?"
Satsuki: "Japanese and social studies, right?"
"...I'll forgive you... because we're friends. How about we help each other with the subjects we're good at?"
Satsuki: "...Friends... No! I-it's not like I'm doing this for you or anything! We're just cooperating temporarily so we can move up a grade, that's all!"
Yeah, exactly. There's nothing more to it!
Our interests just happen to line up!
...But ever since that day, Satsuki's been oddly attached to ... It's a hassle...
I only wanted to go to the boyfriend café because I was hungry...
Why is that?
