บท 16: Takoyaki
Turning his head to look, it was Miku, whose eyes were covered in bangs. She lowered his head, and stretched out two light white fingers from his sleeves, gently tugging at the corners of Naoki's clothes.
"What is wrong?"
Miku stretched out her right hand with the coin in her hand, and whispered, "Help me pay the bill."
Naoki was confused: "Why don't you pay for it yourself?"
Daughter is ashamed to buy her own baked sweet potato. Naoki knew that, but he had never heard of anyone being embarrassed about buying takoyaki. He didn't understand at all!
Miku raised her eyes and glanced at the stall owner uncle. She took half a step behind Naoki, and said nervously, "That uncle... has been staring at me."
"😐"
I see.
The uncle who sells takoyaki is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He's quite tall. Due to his long-term work, his body is not fat, but his muscles are strong, which does look a little scary.
"You think too much."
People buy and sell several takoyaki every minute, so they don't have time to do weird things to you.
Naoki was silent, "Actually he..."
During the conversation, the couple queuing up front left with takoyaki, and it was Naoki and Miku's turn.
"Naoki." A warm laugh rang out, and uncle, the stall owner, greeted, "I haven't seen you here for takoyaki in a long time."
Naoki politely said, "Uncle Suzuki."
"Eh--?"
Miku raised her head, opened her eyes slightly to see Naoki, and puffed her cheeks.
Hey, what's with the 'you guys are actually a group' look? I never said that I didn't know the stall owner uncle!
As a 'child of someone else's family', many people knew Naoki, and the uncle who sold takoyaki in front of him was a neighbor when he was little, and his relationship was quite good.
The stall owner uncle looked at Miku and laughed: "Naoki, is this your date?"
"D-Dating?"
Miku was stunned for a moment, lowered her head in a panic, her face slightly hot, and hid behind Naoki again.
(No wonder, no wonder you keep looking at me now...)
(So uncle think we're dating?)
"No." Naoki shook his head and explained, "That's a classmate, she got lost on the way..."
*stab stab-*
His waist was lightly stabbed twice by Miku behind him.
Naoki was expressionless, and changed the topic. "I just met her on the street… two servings of takoyaki."
It is impossible to communicate with each other. If you invest a lot of time and energy, you may not get anything. Besides, women are extremely troublesome creatures, and not at all interesting to study!
"Soon ripe." Uncle, the stall owner, said as he flipped the takoyaki quickly, "Is Naoki already in second grade?"
"Yes." Naoki nodded, "School just started a few days ago."
"In the blink of an eye, Naoki has become a man." The stall owner uncle sighed that time had passed, and then said, "I was reading on Twitter yesterday and saw a scientific study proving that if a boy doesn't have a girlfriend before the age of 23, the chances of being single for life are 60 %."
Therefore, this kind of 'research evidence' without the name of a particular scientist and survey data is just 'it was originally gossip, and the contents are all edited', okay! Anyone who believes that is an idiot!
"Learning is very important, and love is also very necessary." The stall owner uncle looked at Miku meaningfully, "Naoki, work hard."
"😐"
Sorry, but I really don't want to work hard in love.
"Takoyaki is ready." The stall owner's uncle, stabbed the takoyaki with a bamboo skewer and handed it over, "I'll give you another one, don't forget to come and play more often in the future."
Naoki didn't refuse, and reached out to catch him: "Thank you, Uncle Suzuki."
After politely bidding farewell, Naoki handed the takoyaki to Miku: "This is for you."
Seeing the addition of takoyaki, Miku, who had been silent in fear, finally said, "Too much, I can't eat it all."
Naoki expressed his disbelief: "This should be something Itsuki can eat, this takoyaki shouldn't mean anything to you."
Due to Itsuki's relationship, Naoki often sees Itsuki taking out meat buns from his school bag during recess to replenish his energy. This is not a small meat bun, but a large meat bun that men can eat.
Since you five sisters can even score the same five in IQ, your appetite is also the same five, right?
"Only Itsuki eats a lot." Miku puffed out her cheeks and complained "Big belly king, when we were in middle school, Itsuki could finish a week's worth of snacks in one day, and then…"
In the middle of the conversation, Miku suddenly turned her head away, pursed her pink lips and stopped talking, and shared the story between the sisters and the reckless Asakawa who had only known each other for two days… That was outrageous.
"Quickly take it." Naoki said "I will eat."
"😐"
Miku looked down at the takoyaki in her hand. Under bright light, the soy sauce covers the takoyaki evenly, and the surface is also sprinkled with chopped seaweed and katsuobushi. She could see a faint white heat emanating from the takoyaki.
"Ittadakimasu."
Miku took a bamboo stick, stabbed the octopus ball, opened her mouth and bit it lightly. As the fresh scent of the ingredients exploded in his mouth, his eyes quickly turned into two crescent moons.
"It feels good."
The night breeze is a bit chilly, but when the octopus burns, the body quickly warms up.
"With so many people waiting in line, it was delicious." Naoki looked at Miku and asked, "Going to the tram stop after eating, or are you eating on the street?"
Miku hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and quickly made a decision: "Go to the tram stop after eating."
If she ate while walking, she would be looked at by other people with strange eyes, and Miku was very uncomfortable.
"Okay."
Without a word, the two stood by the roadside, quietly eating takoyaki.
"I'm done eating."
Naoki quickly finished his takoyaki.
Miku raised her eyes and saw, "So fast."
"You're too slow." Asakawa Naoki raised his hand and pressed his brows, his tone calm, "Natural selection, survival of the fittest, slow eating is not in line with the laws of nature, and it is easy to expose yourself to danger."
Miku poked the takoyaki again, and her cheeks bulged, looking very cute: "...I don't understand what Asakawa-san is talking about."
"That's the basics of biology."
"So I don't understand."
Naoki looked at Miku and said speechlessly, "How much did you get in the biology exam?"
Miku turned her head away: "…I won't tell you."
"😐"
After a few minutes.
"I'm full." Miku rubbed her stomach and looked at the two remaining takoyaki, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "I can't eat anymore."
If you take two takoyaki home you won't have enough, you can't eat half of it yourself, and you can't buy some, because it's going to be cold when you take it back, and it's going to be bad.
In doubt, Miku suddenly saw Naoki, who was standing beside her quietly playing with her cell phone: "It's you."
*Jiiiiiiiii—*
