Chapter 14 (2)
"Hikari, who is this?" The green tendons on Kiriko's forehead jumped slightly, as if she was forcing herself to try her best to hold back the unhappiness in her heart.
"She's ......"
"Hello, my name is Sydney when we first met, and I'm a classmate of Hikaru Tento." Sydney was a little scared, and hid behind me and whispered to Kiriko.
Speaking of which, it seems that Kiriko has made similar moves before.
"It's incredible." Kiriko seems to be extremely unhappy with me bringing other girls to the appointment.
It's also a matter of course to be upset.
"What's wrong, what Kiriko wants to say to me shouldn't be the type that can't be known to others, right?" I cautiously confirmed.
"Well, that's just as well." Kiriko reluctantly agreed with what I said, and stopped refuting it out loud.
"That...... Have I caused trouble to the two of you? If that's the case, I'll go back right away. Sydney said to us uneasily.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything against you. There's nothing wrong with eating together when you come here, but I can also learn about the circle of friends that seniors go to high school. After Kiriko finished talking to Sydney, she pulled me and ran to a family restaurant that had just opened recently.
"Here, I heard that it's quite popular!"
"Kiriko, can you run so fast now?" I was dragged by the fog and asked her with some surprise.
"Slow down, wait for me!" Sydney, who was left behind, saw that she was getting farther and farther away from us, and quickly begged us to slow down.
"The interior decoration is unexpectedly new." I was fascinated by the design of the storefront.
The spacious long dining table is covered with a pure white tablecloth with a delicate table flag, and the chairs are decked sofas. In the corners of the dining table, there are napkins that are cleverly folded into the shape of delicate hearts. Potted plants are decorated by the window and the chandeliers on the ceiling are undoubtedly the perfect place for a meal, a date or afternoon tea.
The waitress elegantly held a small round tray with one hand, and with a smile on her face, she served each of us a cup of tea, and a slice of lemon was attached to the delicate crystal cup.
"Whew, saved."
Sydney grabbed the glass of water and drank it all, and in a hurry she recklessly chewed a lemon.
"Hmm...... It's so sour! ”
Sydney pulled out a tissue and faced it to us, carefully covering her mouth with her other little hand before gently spitting the lemon on the tissue and wrapping it before throwing it into the paper basket.
I vaguely felt that Sydney's every move seemed to exude a ladylike aura like a princess, and she was a reckless princess.
"I'll give you my water too."
I gently placed my cup in front of Sydney.
"Eh, is that really possible? Thank you! Sydney happily took the crystal glass, her eyes sparkling.
Oh no, I unconsciously took Sydney for a peach, and I inadvertently saw Kiriko puff out her mouth at me dissatisfied.
"That...... Kiriko? "I was a little embarrassed and looked at Kiriko and didn't know what to say.
"Humph!" Kiriko looked away angrily.
"What do you want to eat?" The waitress took out a pen and paper and asked us respectfully.
"I'm going to fry the shrimp tempura, the pasta with tomato sauce and a creamy mushroom soup." Sydney said to the waitress.
The food is very level! I looked at Sydney in amazement, and I now feel sure that Sydney's background is definitely not simple.
"I just want a hamburger rice bowl, borscht, and tomatoes are more troublesome." Kiriko said to the waitress.
Hey? I don't seem to like Sour Taste very much, so why is she eating such a sour borscht now? Then I was relieved, because the taste always changes.
"More tomatoes, huh? Okay, got it. After careful confirmation, the waitress turned to me and asked:
"What do you want to eat, sir?"
The first time I eat alone with a girl, I can't be stingy and say, "Bring me a bowl of instant noodles, more soup and more noodles." Or, "Bring me a piece of rice, remember to add more rice, oh, you say a side dish?" No, I just eat rice as a result of their dishes. "If I had said that, I don't think I would have the courage to step into this restaurant again. If I had come alone with Peach, I would have said to her, "Whatever." ”。 But now that I'm dining here and I'm not there, thinking that I'm eating ordinary food that isn't necessarily delicious while I'm enjoying a delicious meal behind her back, I feel a strong sense of guilt rise in my heart at the thought of this.
"That...... Hikari-san? Why don't I order it for you? "Sydney saw that I had been hesitating and wanted to help me out.
"You just called him Light?" Kiriko's eyes widened suddenly.
"Huh? Yes! I'm sorry that I'm a little too cheeky! Take care of yourself ......"
"It's okay, don't take it to heart, don't I just call you 'Sydney', and I didn't add classmates or anything later?" I comforted Sydney.
"Can I really call you 'Light'?" Sydney asked hesitantly.
"Of course." I gave her an affirmative answer.
"Great! Hikari-san, so gentle, just like my brother, it's so good, I've always wanted to have a brother who can be by my side to protect me, so that I won't get bored because of being alone. Sydney looked at me expectantly, her voice full of longing.
Brother? Sydney's words were undoubtedly a huge shock to me.
"A sister who is not related by blood...... Is it? I repeated it a little flutteringly.
"Hey!"
"Ah, it hurts! Kiriko, what's wrong with you? ”
Kiriko stomped on my feet.
"Humph!" Kiriko still didn't say anything.
I really don't understand.
"That ......," the waitress reminded awkwardly.
In the midst of the uproar, I had already put the waitress on the table that she was still ordering for us.
"Tonkotsu ramen and a serving of kabayaki eel." I said to Miss Waitress.
"Mr. Guang's unexpected style is quite high!" Sydney looked at me in surprise.
"Ah, yes." I responded awkwardly.
If Momo is here, I will let them see my true style, and this time I chose tonkotsu ramen because it has both a staple food and a bone broth, and the price of the soup can be subsidized on the accompaniment.
"Okay, got it." The waitress repeated the menu to make sure there were no mistakes, bowed slightly to us, and then bowed before retreating.
"Do you know what the Shura Field is?"
The waitress bent down to salute and suddenly said this unclear meaning to me.
How do I know what the Shura field is, I haven't experienced it.
"I'll go straight to the light single-handedly, what is the relationship between you and Ling Mei?" Kiriko finally couldn't help but say what was in her heart.
"Sister Ling? Does Hikari have a sister? Sydney looked genuinely taken aback.
I answered them one by one in the order in which the questioners asked:
"Xiao Tao and I are just ordinary brother and sister! Yes Sydney, I have a sister. ”
"And what did she say about 'boyfriend'?"
"It turns out that Hikari-san likes young girls? What is Hikari's birthday? ”
"That's just what the little peach guy said casually.,Even if you can't find a girlfriend, there's no way there's a brother who treats his sister as a girlfriend, right? That's pathetic, too. My birthday is December 25th. ”
"I see, ah, that's good, that's right, then I'll rest assured!"
Kiriko really looked relaxed, relaxed like a cat, and collapsed on the checkered booth sofa.
"Well, there's a chance." Sydney whispered.
"What?" I didn't hear clearly.
"Oh, nothing." After Sydney realized that she had accidentally said it, she quickly pretended to be stupid and said that she didn't know what I was talking about."
"What were you talking about just now?"
"I'm asking what you just said."
"Didn't I just ask Hikari what he was talking about?"
"It's not this sentence, it's the previous one."
"Again? I don't remember, it's like I didn't say anything. ”
“......”
Sydney, this guy! No, I don't seem to be close enough to her to call each other "this guy", so I'll put it another way: Sydney is such a clever little ghost!
Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it.
"Hello, you've ordered all your meals." The waitress crossed out the list and bowed to us before leaving.
I don't know why the kabayaki eel, which was supposed to be a whole piece, was divided into three small strips and neatly arranged in front of my meal.
The best eel meat is grilled with a golden color and a ruddy sheen, giving off a sweet and attractive aroma.
"Wow! The eel kabayaki ordered by Hikari looks delicious! Sydney first looked at my kabayaki eel, then pretended to look me in the eyes casually, and finally said nonchalantly.
"If you want to eat, just say it, and give it to you." I picked up a piece of eel and put it on Sydney's pasta.
"Thank you Hikari! Then I'll give you my fried shrimp tempura. Sydney gently pinched the unwrapped shrimp tail and brought the fried shrimp to my mouth.
"Hmm, thank you." I opened my mouth to catch it with a little blush.
Sydney actually called my name directly, and I didn't feel upset.
Kiriko suddenly said:
"Hey! Sure enough, you can't take it lightly! Then you're welcome! ”
Kiriko was really not polite at all and directly took half of my remaining eel meat.
"Hey! It's mine! I protested.
"Shall I give you my burger? Mouth! Kiriko picked up a large piece of hamburger meat with a fork and stuffed it into my mouth without saying a word.
"It's painful......" My mouth was so full that I couldn't even seem to speak.
"Eat and talk! How else would I know what you're talking about? Kiriko complained.
I struggled to swallow the hamburger and shrimp tempura, and I felt like I was almost choking to death.
"Mr. Guang, come and drink my lemonade."
Sydney handed me the lemonade I gave her half of it.
"No, he should drink mine, please use it, light!"
Kiriko handed over her crystal cup for some reason.
In such a grim situation, of course I choose-
"I'll just drink the soup, hehe, drink the soup." While I do want to drink lemonade, the soup doesn't quench my thirst after all.
"Hikari (classmate) Are you disgusted with me?" The two of them asked me in unison, and Kiriko stood up even more exaggeratedly.
"I didn't, so what are you looking for me?" I quickly moved away from the topic.
"Can't I go out to eat with you if there's no problem?" Kiriko asked me with one hand on her cheek after sitting down.
"Not really, but it's a shame that you still have my mailbox."
"Why not? We were exchanging mailboxes together! Kiriko raised the volume a bit.
"But I changed my phone......"
"That's not an excuse! Well, we'll add it again later. ”
"I want it too!" Sydney said suddenly.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
After exchanging mobile phone addresses with them, I said to Sydney:
"Kiriko's question is finished, Sydney can't invite me to lunch for no reason, right?"
"That's right." Sydney hesitated and whispered in agreement, then said:
"But if I have to choose someone I can have lunch with, it's Hikari-san!"
I was suddenly interested, and finally there was a girl who could discover my hidden charms!
"Why? Go on! I even began to urge.
"Because only light classmates will be lonely and bored tomorrow, lying on the table, playing with their mobile phones or sleeping....."
Truth is often hurtful.
"I'm so lonely and bored, I'm so embarrassed!"
"That's not what it means!" Sydney quickly explained:
"I mean, Mr. Hikari looks harmless to humans and animals......"
"Harmlessness of humans and animals is just my surface!"
Don't say it, my heart hurts, it looks like it's going to break.
"Is Guang-san a wolf in sheep's clothing?"
Sydney subconsciously kept her distance from me.
I was so confused by another girl outside Yunyue that I didn't know what to say, and I didn't know what kind of scenery the two of them would be like chatting together. No, it's impossible, Sydney is the type that looks cute, and Yunyue is just stupid compared to her! Lovely to stay.
"Ahh
"Yunyue, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Tao asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it's just a sudden chill."
;
"Hahaha!" Kiriko laughed over and over again as she hammered her thigh.
I said to Kiriko with a black face:
"Hey Kiriko, that's a little too much anyway, isn't it?"
"I'm sorry, no, why should I apologize? It's obviously the fault of the two of you who are too funny to make me laugh! I'm not wrong at all! Kiriko laughed enough and began to shirk responsibility.
"Well, whatever you want." Kiriko is a lot more cheerful, although it's just for me.
"Kiriko-san seems to have called Hikari-san a senior before, right?" Sydney remembered some of the previous details and hurriedly asked Kiriko.
"Yes, it turned out that I was in the same class as Guang and had been classmates for three years, and then I was not in good health on the day of the high school entrance examination, so I stayed in the first level." Kiriko went on to say:
"It's okay to call me Kiriko, and you don't need to add honorifics." Kiriko said her little snow-white hand to Sydney.
Sydney hesitated and stretched out her slender jade hand to hold it, and said:
"I took your wishes, but that won't work."
"Why?" Kiriko asked strangely.
"Because ......"
"Because?"
Then Sydney's words changed:
"Because now I'm a senior sister, a senior! So now it's time for you to call me by my name! ”
"you!"
"Come, call Sydney Senpai to listen."
"I don't want it!"
Now it's the two of them playing together.
I feel that my future life will not be as boring as before, goodbye, past me; Then hello, brand new you.
"Why should I call you Senior Sister!"
"Because I'm really higher than you now!"
Well, this kind of life isn't bad. The scenery on the side of the road, if you can, make it as rich as possible.
"That's right, Light!" Sydney had enough of the fog and suddenly said to me:
"I want to hire you as my personal tutor!"
"What?"
"What!"
Kiriko and I screamed in unison.
