"Haha, the meat in our store is comparable to dragon meat, right?" When the waiter on the side heard this, he smiled heartily and said confidently.

Izumi Kurose glanced sideways at him, and couldn't help but be amused.

"Have you ever eaten dragon meat? Besides, are there really dragons in the world? ”

What is comparable to dragon meat?

There is a gap between comparison and reality!

"Okay, Kurose-san, it's too bad to say that." Chiren Shiraishi interjected into the conversation at the right time, stopping the discussion about dragon meat.

Immediately, she said, "Please bring me a signature dragon meat, snowflake wagyu beef, a beef tenderloin, a vegetable salad, and a beef hot spring egg bowl." ”

"Okay." The clerk took a quick note of Shiraishi Chiri's order, and then looked sideways at Izumi Kurose, "This little brother, what about you?" ”

"Same."

"Okay, please wait."

The clerk wrote down two orders, bowed to them, and bowed to them to leave.

Shiraishi Qianren glanced around and said softly, "It's been a long time since I've come out to eat barbecue." ”

"Do you think it's a little lonely to eat alone?"

"No, I usually eat at home, or at a family restaurant."

"Am I in the wrong place?" Izumi Kurose scratched her head, her tone apologetic.

Before coming in, he had asked Shiraishi Qianren what he meant, but she didn't say no, just nodded in agreement.

Maybe he thinks he's invited, so he's embarrassed to refuse or choose a place, right?

Obviously, this kind of thing is not to be polite.

Shiraishi Qianren shook her head lightly and said with a smile: "No, I just feel nostalgic, after all, I haven't eaten out with others for a long time." ”

Izumi Kurose was silent for a while, and said embarrassedly, "...... If you need it, you can always come out to eat with me, and I will accompany you. ”

When he said this, his voice was very quiet, as if he were lip talking.

But Shiraishi Chiren sat across from him, and even if he read the lip shape, he could understand what he was trying to say.

"Okay, then please, Kurose-san."

“…… Well. ”

Izumi Kurose nodded slightly.

After that, there was a brief silence, and neither seemed to have a topic to talk about.

It wasn't until the clerk who received them just now pushed the food cart and presented the plates of barbecue meat that the silence was broken.

After stacking the lettuce in an orderly manner, he lit the oven and grease the iron mesh.

"Please use it slowly, please feel free to call me if you need anything."

After everything was done, the clerk said goodbye again, and the service attitude was very good.

"Is this dragon meat......

Izumi Kurose muttered to himself as he looked at a plate of meat marinated in red-hot sauce and in chunks of meat.

With such a thick meat, it may be half-cooked when grilled, and the taste will be very woody, right?

He picked up a piece and placed it on the iron net, and it immediately made a sizzling sound.

At the same time, a little oil stain splattered out and bounced around.

Fortunately, there were very few oil stains, and they didn't hit the two of them.

Shiraishi Chiren scooped a bite of the rice bowl covered with brown beef, opened her lips slightly, and ate it into her mouth.

Izumi Kurose glanced at it casually, and could see that her slightly open mouth was a small pink tongue and a tender red oral wall.

“……”

He quickly looked away and looked out the door.

But in the next moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and his heart was full of doubts and disbelief.

There were two people who had just entered the door, who were being greeted by the waiter, and walked towards the double couple seat on the inside.

One of them, Izumi Kurose, is the head of the basketball department who met in the cafeteria at noon!

And that woman, not Tsuda Jia, is a very hot girl dressed up, and the school uniform is also from another school.

With a smile on their faces, the two of them folded their arms affectionately and sat down side by side in the narrow couple's seat.

'What's the situation?' Splitting legs? ’

Izumi Kurose stared at the two of them without blinking, and several possibilities appeared in his mind.

Maybe I misunderstood?

Are they actually brother and sister?

But if not......

"Kurose-san, what are you looking at? The meat is already roasted, and it will be old if you wait a little longer. ”

Suddenly, a soft voice flooded into Izumi Kurose's ears, causing him to withdraw his gaze and look ahead as if he had just woken up from a dream.

In front of her, there was a slightly confused Shiraishi Chiri, who was using her chopsticks to put a piece of bubbling barbecue meat on his plate.

"Oh, it's okay, it's like seeing someone I know."

Izumi Kurose shook her head slightly, and as she spoke, she picked up the barbecue on the plate and ate it in her mouth.

"Beware of burning!" Shiraishi Chiren exclaimed.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Hiss——!"

As soon as Izumi Kurose put the barbecue in his mouth, as soon as his tongue touched it, he felt a hot sensation spread, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Drink some water, why are you so careless?" After saying a little disgusted, Shiraishi handed over the iced lemonade.

Izumi Kurose hurriedly picked up the water glass, raised his head, and poured it into his mouth suddenly.

"Goo-dong, goo-dong......"

As the Adam's apple rolls, the water in the cup also decreases at a rate visible to the naked eye until it bottoms out.

"Ha~~~"

After drinking a whole large glass of 300ml of lemonade in one gulp, Izumi Kurose breathed a long sigh of relief, and his mouth was not so hot.

"Kurose-san, why are you suddenly distracted? Is it because you just saw someone you know? ”

"No...... Well, yes, but I just know that person unilaterally, and he doesn't know me. ”

Izumi Kurose just wanted to shake his head and veto, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to hide, so he continued.

"Then why do you care so much about that person? Want to go say hello? ”

Shiraishi Chiren didn't notice who Izumi Kurose was looking at just now, so she was a little curious, who else would he know.

After all, she knows everything about Izumi Kurose's relationships and herself.

Except for Masashi Hirasawa, Izumi Kurose doesn't know anyone in Tokyo.

"Forget it, I don't know him, I just know him, don't care."

Izumi Kurose hurriedly waved his hand, but he didn't dare to confirm the relationship between the head of the basketball department and the hot girl.

They don't know each other, and if they take the liberty to ask, they will only make an embarrassment.

"Okay. Is that still hot? I'll buy some medicine when I get back. ”

"It's okay, it's not hot, don't bother so much, I'm tired of worrying you."

Shiraishi Chiren supported the side of her face with one hand, tilted her head slightly, looked at him with a smile on her face, and said, "Kurose-san, you are a little confused occasionally." ”

"Yes, it's like that every once in a while! Aren't you too? Occasionally, he will say the wrong thing and be a little reckless. ”

"Really? I don't remember, Kurose-san, tell me when I said something wrong? ”

Shiraishi Chiren smiled slyly.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart when she had done this.

But what Izumi Kurose said at that time, Izumi Kurose didn't dare to say because he was a pure person.

Sure enough, Izumi Kurose thought about it, and when Chiren Shiraishi said the wrong thing and was a little reckless, it seemed that she liked him - a light novelist.

Although it was an appreciative like, he couldn't say it.

"Shiraishi-san, why did you suddenly get difficult again......

He thought to himself, his face a little bitter.
