Chapter 176: The first meeting between the two parties
Somewhere at a shrine fair.
The pink mouth moved closer to the shiny black stick-shaped object, opened its mouth and licked it like a circle with its tongue, and the saliva made it glisten with crystal luster.
Then, the teeth forcefully bit down!
Holding her cheeks together, munching on a sweet chocolate banana, Itsuki walked happily down the road to the festival with a face full of happiness.
"How much have you eaten..." Nino sighed. Even though she was used to Itsuki's excessive appetite, along the way, she never saw anything slip from her hands, and her mouth never stopped chewing.
It was a very lively festival, but in the end, she only ate one candy apple and couldn't eat any more… Sigh, why did she go with Itsuki? Isn't this a masochist?
"It's not much! This is the last one. I skipped afternoon tea today and came here hungry!"
Swallowing her food while complaining, Itsuki defended herself to maintain her image.
"This is a rare time to come here. How can you not enjoy the food at the festival? It has nothing to do with appetite. Please don't call me a meat monster or a foodie. I will never admit it!"
(No, I haven't said anything yet...)
Nino was about to speak, Itsuki rushed over to the shaved ice stand next to her, and raised her hand happily and shouted.
"A melon and a strawberry each!"
Nino:😐"
When Itsuki returned with two bowls of shaved ice, Nino pinched her belly through the waistband of her yukata, and rubbed it vigorously.
"A monster full of flesh, you are a monster full of flesh! Eat again! How about the last one?! You're also eating two servings of shaved ice at one time, the sugar and calories all pile up in the lower abdomen!"
Itsuki blushed and hurriedly said: "Wait Nino! Don't do this in public! I bought strawberries for you, so I'm not exaggerating to eat two servings of shaved ice at once! "
"...Hmph, you are wise! You turned a good festival into a travel diary of a big-bellied king, really…" Taking the strawberry shaved ice from Itsuki, who was twisting her waist to avoid her attack, Nino took two bites, an annoyed expression on her face.
"Tsk, the syrup tastes too bland, full of chemical smell... I'd better go back and make it myself."
Itsuki ate half of the melon shaved ice in just a few seconds, licked her syrup-colored tongue, and said impatiently.
"When will it be done? I can help!"
"Nothing helps, just buy a shaved ice machine and turn the strawberry jam I made earlier into syrup." Nino handed the strawberry shaved ice to Itsuki with the thought of not going to waste.
"Remember to exercise well when you come back, and when the time comes, you will be fat every month, and it will be too late to regret it."
Itsuki: "😐"
The two continued walking aimlessly, Nino looked around boredly, then glanced at the crowd in the distance.
"What is it?" Itsuki didn't know when she finished the melon shaved ice and ate half of the strawberry shaved ice, asking with a spoon in her mouth.
"Itsuki, let's see… Is that person over there Asada?" Eyes still fixed on one spot, Nino tugged at Itsuki's sleeve and pointed ahead with her fingertip.
Itsuki focused her gaze, then said earnestly.
"I don't wear glasses, so I can't see clearly..."
Nino: "😐"
With a face full of despair, she took Itsuki's hand and walked quickly towards the place where she had seen a certain figure earlier.
...
Under Furuhashi's guidance, the two manage to meet Ogata.
After greeting and explaining why he was here, Shinichi realized he was facing a dilemma right now.
The first was to go to the festival with them, and then meet at the agreed place when time was up.
Second, however, sooner or later they would have to go separately, so they went straight to the meeting and let the two of them shop on their own.
Friends meet by chance at a festival. If you have nothing important to do, it's normal to go for a walk and chat together. Logically, there's nothing to complain about.
However, the two of them made an appointment to get together first, and it was a private girl group meeting. Why did he, the big man, come and join in the fun?
After chatting a few words, it would be fine to gather with everyone in the Student Council as originally planned.
But now...
"Shinichi-san, do you want something to eat?"
Her round cheeks moving up and down, chewing greedily like a small hamster, Ogata took the takoyaki, tiptoed and put it into Shinichi's mouth.
"No, I..." Shinichi instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing her clear eyes, cute face, and anticipatory expression, he finally opened his mouth and took a bite.
Was there anyone in this world who could resist feeling like a sister taking something she liked and sharing it with an older brother? NO?
Not allowing himself to see the small smile on Ogata's face, Shinichi munched on hot takoyaki while trying to find an excuse to give up.
On the other hand, Furuhashi covered her face, her eyes stared at the harmonious and loving atmosphere through her fingers, her face slightly rosy.
"Hahahahaha, this is feeding... Ricchan is better than I imagined! She can make moves like that without hesitation…"
Ignoring the regret and jealousy in her heart, Furuhashi smiled.
(In that case, let me push it! While it's good for the three of us to go to the festival together like this, I have something else to do!)
Seeing Ogata who was trying to feed the second takoyaki, and Shinichi who was refusing with the excuse that he was full, Furuhashi said frantically.
"I forgot that I left my cell phone on the flower stand, you two go shopping first, I will get my cell phone, and I will be right back!"
After speaking, she waved to the two of them, turned around and was about to run away.
(It's rare to have this good opportunity, if I don't fulfill my duties as a close friend now, when will it be!)
(Even though Asada-san has something to do, it's a shame I can't watch the fireworks with Ricchan, but their relationship will be fine. That's right, I, Furuhashi Fumino, will definitely become the assist king!)
With her back to the two of them, Furuhashi's smile became very weak.
Dis dashed towards the crowd with her head low.
Ogata tilted her head, and was full of doubts.
Before she could react, Shinichi moved first.
First, get a wooden stick with takoyaki from Ogata.
Second, rush to Furuhashi who can't run fast in clogs.
Third, hold her shoulder and put the takoyaki into her mouth.
Fourth, he drew closer to her ear, and said softly.
"I don't know what your purpose is for doing this, but don't try to run away, I don't believe in such lame excuses."
"?!" Forced to stop, Furuhashi widened her eyes, wanting to ask why he knew so clearly, but couldn't speak fluently because she had takoyaki stuffed into her mouth.
—Her words were so hot! Freshly baked takoyaki is so hot!
Releasing Furuhashi who was panting to cool the takoyaki in her mouth and looking at him with tears from the corners of her eyes, Shinichi said to the two of them.
"I'm going to meet with the Student Council members, you two go shopping yourselves."
Furuhashi was surprised, wasn't she the only one who said this?
Ogata said with some regret: "Let's say goodbye here... During the summer festival, my family has to open a shop and set up a stall. Please join us, Shinichi-san. When I rest, the three of us will have fun visiting the summer festival together."
"Ah, I remember." Shinichi tapped Furuhashi's shoulder who was still silent with her mouth open, and said a few words in a voice that only she could hear, then he quickly entered the crowd.
Furuhashi stared at him back wide-eyed, was silent for a few moments, and then blushed again.
(W-what does this mean?!)
Ogata tilted her head, "What's wrong, Fumino?"
"Ahhhh..." Furuhashi waved her hand frantically, her heartbeat accelerated again, she didn't know what to do.
Just as she was apologizing to Ogata in her heart, and thinking carefully about what Shinichi had said just now, two pink-haired girls walked up to them and looked around with serious expressions.
"Weird, I just saw it? Could I be wrong?"
"Nino... If you really want to look for him, why don't you call him right away?"
"Stupid. If I'm really wrong, what should that person do now that he's studying or resting at home? Wouldn't calling him bother him?"
"Being really considerate of Asada-kun in a place like this..."
"Noisy! This is workplace etiquette, this is not a wise thing!"
"Ha..."
Itsuki held her knees to catch her breath. When she stood up, she inadvertently turned her head to look, and opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Furuhashi-san?"
Furuhashi covered her mouth in astonishment.
"Itsuki-san?"
