Congratulations to the men and women’s team of the ball game tournament from the second year second class, cheers!!”
“”Cheers—!””
After the closing ceremony, we from the second year and second class came to the Yakiniku restaurant with our homeroom teacher, Fujimoto-sensei, as promised. It was not a chain restaurant, but a private one. The interior was spacious and had a relaxed atmosphere, so it did not feel like a Yakiniku restaurant. It was a little after 5:00 p.m., a little early for dinner, and it bothered me that we were the only guests as far as I could observe.
“I knew I was going to win, so I made a reservation ahead of time. This restaurant is run by a friend of mine, so I can be flexible, and I made a reservation for a private party today!”
Fujimoto-sensei spoke with a hearty laugh, but his knees also seemed to be laughing along with him, so I guess his wallet must be getting lonely. In the first place, I think it was crazy for teachers to place a bet for the ball game without their students’ consent.
“Well, you’ll lose if you worry about the details, Yuya.”
Shinji savored the beef tongue as he gulped it down. I was pretty sure he ordered the higher grade one without a second thought. He was a brazen guy. Let me have some too!
“No, Yuya-kun. You have to eat vegetables first before you eat meat.”
I was about to reach for the meat on the net in front of me, which was giving off a smell that whetted my appetite, but Kaede stopped me. She then took my plate, and instead of the meat, she simply served me a salad.
“You’ll have to eat this first. Please don’t worry. I’ll make sure to leave enough meat for you, Yuya-kun.”
“… yes.”
I couldn’t help it now that Kaede said so. Let’s just eat the salad first, shall we. I loved the combination of crispy fresh lettuce and onions with sesame flavored dressing!
“Kaede is really going to be a good wife. Or maybe she’s already your wife?”
“In the future, Yuya is going to be at the beck and call of Hitotsuba. That’s for sure.”
The couple, Otsuki and Shinji, barely touched their salads and just turned into robots that grilled the meat and placed it in their mouths. I mean, am I going to be at the beck and call of Hitotsuba? Haha, that sounds ridiculous!
“No matter how you look at it, Yoshizumi is the type of person who is always on the back burner. In fact, I can’t imagine you becoming a husband.”
“Even Nikaido!? No!”
“No, you don’t have to be so depressed… Here, I’ll give you some of my meat, how about you cheer up?”
I smiled bitterly and Nikaido placed the freshly grilled meat on my plate, which still had some salad left on it. I didn’t know what it was, but Nikaido seemed like a goddess at this moment. It was the meat I’d been longing for!
“Ai, don’t spoil him! You haven’t eaten your vegetables yet, and Yuya-kun’s going to eat your meat!”
“Kaede… You don’t have to be so uptight about it. It’s a victory celebration, you know. Let’s have some fun, shall we?”
Nikaido talked while placing the meat on the net, and Kaede looked somewhat unsure of what to do.
I didn’t know what it was, but I was starting to feel very uncomfortable. Shinji and Otsuki-san looked away as if they had nothing to do with it.
“What do you want to eat, Yoshizumi? Tongue? Or kalbi? We have loin, but would you like pork?”
Aah, I love it. Everything looks good. I guess I should start with the tongue? Shinji looked like he was enjoying it. I want to eat kalbi and loin with rice too, so maybe after that.
“All right. I’ll cook the tongue then. I’ll be right back.”
“Ai-chan!? Yuya-kun, you have to eat the salad first!? You have to do that!?”
“Mou… Kaede, at this rate, you’ll become more of a nagging, overprotective mother than a wife for Yoshizumi?”
Kaede’s reaction that you could almost hear the classic sound effect of “Garn”. Well, Nikaido had a point. Eat your vegetables first was what a mother would say. By the way, I’d never had my mom say that to me… or my a*****e dad, for that matter.
“As I said before, I understand that you like Yoshizumi, but I don’t think you should be too constrained? After all, we’re still in high school.”
Nikaido’s all-out straight right caught Kaede’s chin with precision. Kaede’s soul slipped out of her mouth and she leaned toward me, her body losing strength. The blow seemed to have cut off her life points.
“Uuh… I’m not Yuya-kun’s mother… I want to be Yuya’s wife”
Kaede muttered to herself. Kaede as a mother. Such a beautiful and cute mother would be something for her child to feel proud about. And she would be traveling around the game world with her favorite son. She will become the strongest mom in the world, with her normal attack being an all-out attack.
“Even Yuya-kun is doing that!? I don’t want to be your mother, I want to be your wife! Don’t worry, I’ll pamper you well and properly!”
If Kaede spoiled me any more, I was going to become a bad person. In fact, I had to make sure that I didn’t spoil Kaede.
“Yoshizumi, the meat will be cooked soon, okay?”
“Thank you, aah. But wait a minute. I’ll be right back after I empty my plate.”
Picking up the plate, I shoveled the remaining salad into my mouth and chewed it. Kaede had served it for my sake. How could I not eat it!
“Uuh… it was delicious. Now, is it time to eat the meat?”
Just looking at the meat as it sizzled and made a pleasant sound on the net was enough to get me excited. If I overcooked it, it would get tough, so I’m done, right? I’m running out of patience!
“Fufu. You don’t have to be stubborn. Meat doesn’t run away, you know. Here!”
Nikaido said, placing a freshly grilled and seasoned tongue on my plate. I quickly dipped it in lemon juice and brought it to my mouth. The exquisite crunchiness was irresistible and addictive. The lemon, salt and pepper were a perfect match. It was refreshing and each piece was sliced so thinly that I could eat as much as I wanted.
“Here, Kaede, why don’t you try it? It’s so delicious!”
When I called out to Kaede, who was still leaning on my shoulder in shock, she staggered up, grabbed my sleeve with a cooing motion, and opened her small mouth. Was that it? Was it an imitation of a baby bird begging for food from its parent?
“No, sir! It’s a plea to please make love to me!”
That was too embarrassing, please don’t do that. It was okay if it was at home, but to do it in front of all my classmates was beyond my tolerance for shame. Kaede didn’t care that I’m hesitating, she tugged on my sleeve and sweetly told me in a cat-like voice, “Hurry up. I can’t lose to this violent cuteness… !”
“Kaede, look at me.”
“Eh? What’s wrong with you, Ai-chan!?”
When Kaede reacted to being called out unexpectedly, Nikaido held out a piece of meat and inserted it into her open mouth. Kaede didn’t realize what had happened and let out an inarticulate scream in surprise. However, the fact that she was able to hold it firmly in her mouth was cute.
“Kaede. No matter how much you love Yoshizumi, you have to think about us too, okay? It gives me heartburn to watch.”
“Yes… I’m sorry, Ai-chan.”
“Yoshizumi too. Don’t spoil Kaede too much just because she’s cute, okay? If you’re going to do it, think about where you’re going to do it, okay?”
“Yes… I understand.”
For some reason, I ended up getting angry along with her. Nikaido puffed up her cheeks slightly and put the meat on the net.
“Eh, Yuya-kun. Let’s eat ice cream when we get home, okay?”
Kaede whispered softly in my ear. That kind of surprise was bad for my heart, so please don’t do it!
Congratulations to the men and women’s team of the ball game tournament from the second year second class, cheers!!”
