Chapitre 557: Confused girl
"I'm sorry about this guest... I didn't hear clearly just now..."
A middle-aged man walked slowly with two spatulas in his hands, pushed the working girl aside, and approached Shinichi and smiled kindly.
"Again, what do you want?"
The oil-stained spatulas hit each other like two sharp daggers.
Ignoring the subtle stares from all directions for now, Shinichi forced a polite smile.
"I want three portions of fried noodles without red ginger, thank you."
He even reached into his wallet and took out the banknotes without shaking.
The uncle nodded, and the atmosphere seemed to relax.
But it's all just an illusion.
"You want to use money to solve this problem? You naughty boy who covets my precious daughter, Rizu-chan has really been taken care of by you lately."
Maybe because he saw the two girls behind him, the uncle still had a smile on his face and said the scary words in a friendly manner.
"Tell me, soup, sauce, or udon dough, which would you like it to be?"
"How about we just sentence it to death..." Shinichi was not afraid of the other party's threats, only thinking about how to deal with them.
Anyway, it had gotten to this point, so he gave up the idea of retreating any further. Seeing uncle, his smile showed a hint of provocation.
"You are still hated by your daughter? Do you need me to teach you how to make Rizu happy?"
"What..." Uncle Ogata's body trembled, and looked at him with wide eyes.
The two just stared at each other.
Uncle Ogata lowered his head and put on a serious expression asking for advice.
"Need it! Please tell me, Shishou!"
Shinichi: "😐"
(Wow, the speed at which he changed his face is amazing for his daughter...)
Shinichi couldn't help but laugh, but before he could say anything, Rizu hit her father from behind with a plastic food box.
"Dad, why don't you go and prepare three portions of fried noodles? Does Dad want the noodles to burn?"
"Wait a minute..." Uncle Ogata covered his head pitifully and turned around, his originally fierce eyes instantly softened into slime in front of his daughter.
After looking at Shinichi, he obediently went back to flipping the fried noodles.
Because Shinichi didn't understand what this gaze meant, he chose to pretend not to see it and looked at Rizu.
"Sorry, my dad always looks like this."
Rizu looked into Shinichi's eyes, and turned around.
"Besides that..."
Her lenses seemed to be foggy so her eyes couldn't be seen clearly, but there was a blush on her cheeks, she looked nervous.
"I... I'm not a product in the store... If Shinichi-san were to order it..."
Feeling someone pinch his waist, Shinichi immediately answered.
"It was just a joke. Sorry, that was a bit inappropriate."
Rizu stopped, and all the strangeness disappeared instantly. She looked at him and spoke without expression.
"Correct. I understand. That's right. Basically I don't have any misunderstanding. Please don't worry."
Looked at Fumino and said hello, looked at Rui strangely, then looked back at Shinichi.
"The waiting room is next door. Please get to your seat as soon as possible after paying the bill so the next customer can order."
"Yes..."
Because of Rui, Shinichi couldn't say anything to comfort Rizu who was clearly angry. He paid the bill and stepped aside to wait for the food.
Rizu took over the counter work, and the working girl moved to the side. While doing the bookkeeping, she tied the box of fried noodles with a rubber band and put it in a bag. During this period, she glanced at the three people curiously.
"Rizu-san, are those people your friends?" She asked quietly.
Rizu took the time to answer her.
"I don't know any girls with short hair. The other two... I don't know how to accurately define the meaning of friends, but they are all very important people to me. There is no doubt about this."
"So that's how it is…" The worker girl was surprised, this petite girl, who usually had no expression and made people feel a little cold, could directly say such heartfelt words.
Out of curiosity, she asked.
"Is that the boy you like?"
Rizu's hand shook, and the coin she took from the guest fell to the ground.
"Ah, sorry, I said unnecessary words…" The worker girl hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but before that, Rizu had already crouched down, touched the coin and answered.
"Aoyama-san, the definition of liking is as vague as that of friends. I don't know what kind of crush you're talking about."
If it's between humans, then the Shinichi she likes is the same as Fumino.
But if it was an intimate relationship between a man and a woman, from the interaction of lovers to the reproduction of offspring... Her head started to feel hot, and Rizu felt like she was in a state of confusion.
"Eh? Don't you know…" Aoyama Nanami touched her chin in thought.
"Rizu-san's reaction just now was clearly like having a crush on that guy, but that guy cruelly avoided you, and the result was awkwardness... I've never been in love, so I don't really know. But blushing at that moment should be proof that you like him, right?"
"One step further, if you want to kiss him, this kind of love must be the love between a man and a woman."
After saying that, Nanami realized that she seemed to be taking it too seriously, and smiled shyly.
"Don't worry too much, my words basically have no reference value... Eh?"
Seeing that Rizu's face was red, her head was buried in her arms, and her whole body was curled up into a ball. She shows surprise.
Five seconds passed.
Rizu took the coins, stood up straight, put the coins into the box, bowed to the guests at the counter, bowed her head, and turned to leave.
"Aoyama-san, I'll leave the rest to you. Thank You."
Putting these words aside, she spoke to her parents and left the stall after receiving their agreement.
"You're welcome...Ah, did I say something wrong..."
Before Nanami recovered from her daze, she suddenly heard a voice coming from the front: "Excuse me, one fried udon!"
She immediately returned to the counter and started processing the order with a smile on her face.
"Nanami-chan, Rizu-chan went shopping with friends, and I'll leave the rest to you!"
"Okay, boss! I will do my best!"
Even as she spoke an energetic reply, Nanami felt worried and even felt a little guilty.
(Sure enough, it's not good to gossip too much. Could it be that Rizu-san doesn't really accept the word kiss? It seems like she's in a very confused mood...)
Forget it, just wait until she comes back and apologize to her! What we have to do now is work hard together for her!
△
At some point, Rizu started running, her footsteps as chaotic as her thoughts.
The cool breeze blows away the heat on the surface of the skin and calms the restless heart.
She stroked her chest and panted slightly.
In the distance, a familiar figure eating fried noodles on the sidelines was clearly visible.
"I want to kiss him, is this called liking?"
