At a table with Yanami, everyone's appetite tended to be more vigorous—because no one could guarantee that after she finished her portion, she wouldn't try to snatch the food in front of them…
However, precisely because of this, it seemed that when the chef from the kitchen came out for some fresh air and saw her enjoying his cooking so much, he was in such a good mood that he sent a large order of fries to Asakura's table.
"Yanami really doesn't refuse anything."
Asagumo Chihaya finished her pasta and found that Anna had not only eaten her hamburger steak but also completely devoured the pan-fried veal steak from Yukino's portion, which was originally meant to be shared by four people. She was now happily eating fries, and Asagumo Chihaya couldn't help but say with admiration.
"But watching Anna-chan eat makes my own food taste better—"
Yuigahama Yui rubbed her stomach: "I accidentally ate too much, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable…"
"Whose fault is it that you ordered a sundae after finishing your omurice?"
Asakura said mercilessly.
"Because the person who just walked by was eating a sundae with such dedication, I unconsciously craved it…"
Yuigahama Yui said sheepishly.
"The person who just walked by was the manager of Wagnaria."
Asagumo Chihaya said, "I just saw it on the staff list on the bulletin board."
"H-how can they use this method to drive sales for the store… Onore, Manager!"
Yuigahama Yui said indignantly.
"No, she just genuinely likes to eat sundaes."
Asakura, who often came here to eat after he became rich, said, "By the way, to cater to the manager's preference, Wagnaria's sundaes are all extra-large versions, with about twice the calories of a normal sundae."
"C-calories…"
Yuigahama Yui clutched her head in regret: "Guh, why did you tell me that…?"
Of course, it's because I don't want to deceive my employees~
"Hehehe, because the tears of a beautiful girl are too delicious."
"Takuma-kun, your inner thoughts and outer words are reversed."
Asagumo Chihaya kindly reminded him.
"Ah, if no one wants this tomato juice, I'll take it, okay?"
Completely oblivious to the situation, Yanami simply took the tomato juice that came with the large fries.
Just then, a passing waitress with a childlike face and ample bosom seemed to have stepped on something, her foot slipped, and she fell to the ground.
But that wasn't the key; the key was that the tray she was carrying and the dishes on it flew directly towards Asakura and his group.
Yuigahama Yui, with a pale face, completely unable to react: "Oh, No!"
Asagumo Chihaya, trying to block in front of Asakura but too slow: "Oh, No!"
A passing black-haired staff member, seeing the situation and not knowing what to do: "Oh, No!"
In a flash, Asakura, with reactions beyond ordinary people, performed almost miraculous movements. First, he grabbed the tray, then, with lightning speed, he used the tray to catch each of the dishes in mid-air, not even missing a single takoyaki from one of the plates. When Asakura leveled the tray, they were still spinning in the plate.
Yanami, holding the bright red tomato juice, her hand not even lowered yet: "Oh, Yeah!"
The customers in the restaurant were stunned by Asakura's acrobatic movements and applauded, with continuous shouts of 'Sugoi' and 'Omedeto'. The atmosphere was as lively as a circus.
And the staff of Wagnaria were even more grateful for his rescue. The manager not only waived their bill but also gave them an extra sundae.
Asakura, who had obtained the right to distribute the sundae, noticed Yanami looking at him with sparkling, eager eyes.
However, after briefly calculating the amount of food she had already consumed that evening, he handed the sundae in Yuigahama's direction.
"Eek, calories, calories are approaching!"
Yuigahama Yui frantically shook her head.
Good, it seems Yuigahama Yui is also out.
Asakura looked at Asagumo Chihaya again, who smiled and made an 'X' sign with her hands, indicating she couldn't eat anymore either.
So he looked at Yanami again, and the girl's eyes sparkled even more brightly.
"Excuse me, waitress, takeout."
"Why?!"
"You already had dinner before you came today, didn't you?"
Asakura looked at the girl and said mercilessly, "You just ate hamburger steak, veal plate, and almost eighty percent of the large fries, as well as a large cup of milk tea and tomato juice to fill the gaps… And you ask me why I'm not giving you a sundae in this situation? Am I responsible if you get sick?"
"It's fine, sweets…"
Yanami still wanted to argue.
"Just for the record, your other stomach has already been used to store the dinner you ate at home, right?"
Asakura said.
"Ugh… Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have rushed to eat at home."
The girl slumped on the table, full of regret.
"What is Takuma-kun going to do next?"
Asagumo Chihaya asked, "Are you planning to go straight back?"
"No, I still have some things to do."
Asakura shook his head.
"I see…"
Asagumo Chihaya looked a little disappointed.
"Should I walk you girls back? It's getting a bit… no, it's already quite late."
Asakura glanced at the sky outside the window and asked the girls.
"No need, Yuigahama Yui and I live in the same direction, and our homes aren't far, so we can look out for each other. As for Yanami…"
Asagumo Chihaya looked at Yanami, who was still sullenly eating fries.
"My house is just nearby, the kind that doesn't even require taking a train. And the public security here is quite good. Besides occasionally seeing strange men in work clothes sitting on benches, you hardly even see drunkards or homeless people."
Yanami said somewhat indistinctly, her mouth full of fries.
"I see…"
Asakura thought for a moment, then looked at Asagumo Chihaya and the others: "Then at least let me walk you to the station."
"That would be too much trouble for Takuma-kun."
Asagumo Chihaya still wanted to be polite, but Asakura shook his head: "Don't worry about it, I happen to need to buy something at an accessory shop near the station."
Hearing this, the girl then gracefully bowed her head and said, "Then I humbly accept."
Yuigahama Yui, who had just escaped from the calorie nightmare, looked at them blankly.
Um, what about my opinion?
