Chapter 44 Should the status quo of the snow-infused plum blossom wine be maintained?
The three of them arrived at the sushi restaurant.
Amamiya looked around the shop with curiosity. She had never been to this shop before and didn't know what the food was like.
Well, since they're treating today, and even if the sushi isn't that bad, it can't be that bad, Akina Amami comfortably found a seat against the wall.
Gong You and Gong Zhi sat opposite her.
"Take a look at what you'd like to eat." Miyaji pushed the menu in front of her.
Akina Amane flipped through the menu, ordered some of her favorite flavors that she often ate, and also ordered a few flavors that looked more novel.
Gong You and Gong Zhi looked at a menu together and selected some flavors.
When the sushi was served, Akina Amaho picked one up and put it in her mouth, then showed a satisfied expression.
The food tasted better than the last time I went to this restaurant.
"This restaurant's food is pretty good," she said, and couldn't resist picking up another one and putting it in her mouth.
Gong Zhi: "As long as you're satisfied."
Miyako also picked up a piece of sushi, put it in her mouth, and chewed it: "Hmm, it's delicious, but how does it compare to what you made, Akina?"
He was really curious about what the sushi Mina made tasted like.
"Hmm... I think mine tastes better." Akina Amami thought for a moment.
She still prefers the taste of what she makes herself, since it perfectly suits her preferences.
"After all, what I make is simply food for myself, and the taste is closer to my own preferences. Japanese restaurants outside will definitely make food that suits the tastes of the general public more," she said.
“Oh… I still want to try the sushi that Mina makes.” Miyaji nodded.
If they weren't really curious about the taste of those sushi, they wouldn't have been thinking about it for so long.
"It looks like it's not possible today." Akina Amami shrugged. She was actually reluctant to share the sushi she made that perfectly suited her taste with others.
However, since they are friends, it's okay for them to share.
She cleared her throat: "Well, after the holiday, I'll treat you to a meal sometime, and I'll cook it myself."
In the end, she still made that promise.
Gong Zhi's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't help but ask again, "Really?"
He had initially thought that, given how much Akina valued sushi, she wouldn't share it with them.
Akina Amaho nodded: "Really."
Gong You: "Yay! Then I can look forward to enjoying the delicious food."
After Amako Akina said it, he couldn't wait to eat it and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth the next moment.
"Don't have such high expectations. Those are just sushi that suit my taste. You might not like them." Akina Amami sighed.
Miyaji's body stiffened. He remembered the spicy takoyaki he had eaten when he first visited Amaho Akina. It was so spicy!
Could it be... that she's going to put a lot of wasabi in her sushi?!
But judging from Amaho Akina's current actions, it doesn't seem like she's going to add a lot of wasabi.
Just to be on the safe side, he cautiously asked, "Mina, do you put wasabi in your sushi?"
Akina Amane shook her head, denying the statement: "I wouldn't. Shouldn't sushi be made with the original flavor? These ingredients are added later, aren't they?"
It seemed he wouldn't be getting to eat the extra spicy sushi, and Miyaji slowly exhaled.
Gong You was a little curious, so he nudged Gong Zhi with his elbow and leaned over to ask him in a low voice, "Why did you ask her that question just now?"
Miyaji also turned his head to the side and answered softly, "Yeah, because the first time I went there, I ate extra spicy takoyaki... that's Akina's flavor." As he said this, as if recalling the taste from back then, his expression couldn't help but wrinkle up again.
"Extra spicy? I'd really like to try it." Gong You's eyes lit up when he heard that.
This was a flavor he had never tried before, nor was it something he knew about Mina's special taste.
"I advise you not to try it. That level of spiciness could kill you," Gong Zhi shook his head, trying to dissuade Gong You from the idea.
“That won’t do. You’ve already tried it, so I want to try it too,” Gong You said.
Amane Akina was a little curious. Why did these two suddenly start whispering to each other? Could it be because of the taste of the sushi?
Although I was a little curious, there was no need to join their conversation. I just felt a little lonely for a moment. Sometimes I couldn't join their conversation. I guess being twins, they must have a closer connection than I do as a friend.
However, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you two talking about?"
Gong You quickly turned around and shook his head in a fluster: "No, it's nothing, I was just talking about the taste of the sushi."
Akina tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. Although Miyako's answer was the same as her earlier guess, she still felt that he wasn't telling the truth.
She frowned slightly, and for some reason, felt a little disappointed.
Even if you're just friends, can you still have this feeling?
Or... does she want to be more involved in their lives?
For a moment, Akina Amamiya was somewhat surprised by her own thoughts.
Yes, she didn't want to abandon anyone, nor did she want anyone to abandon her. If only things could continue like this forever.
If only... if only I could stay between them forever.
Akina Amane took a deep breath and reminded herself that if she had such thoughts, it was better to just be friends.
Although you might not feel this way if you're just friends.
Gong Zhi did notice her slightly disappointed expression for a moment. Was it because she realized that they were not telling the truth and felt that they were ostracizing her?
To some extent, Miyaji realized the truth in an instant.
“Ayu wasn’t telling the truth. He actually said he also wanted to try the extra spicy takoyaki that Mina made.” Miyaji shrugged.
If a different choice had been made at this moment, Mina would probably have made a different choice as well.
Gong You's body stiffened instantly.
He could see that Mina was a little disappointed, but he couldn't think of a solution for the time being, and because he was concerned about saving face, he didn't want to reveal the truth.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhi exposed him right away.
"Pig Osamu, why did you have to say it?" He glared at Osamu through gritted teeth.
Miyaji: "If we don't tell her, Akina will probably be very upset because we lied to her."
As Miyaji spoke, he looked at Akina.
Akina Ame-ho paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
She clenched her fists on her lap.
She truly hates deception.
"Yes, I actually really hate it when other people deceive me."
Most of the time, she simply smiled and accepted the deception of others, pretending that she hadn't noticed.
However, there will also be a conscious tendency to drift further and further apart.
Gong You was somewhat stunned.
This time, he looked into Akina Amaho's eyes and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you just now. I just... well, it's not really appropriate to ask for that."
As he spoke, he scratched his head and turned his face away.
“It’s okay, this behavior didn’t cause me any harm.” Akina Amami shook her head.
As she explained things, she felt her body relax again and found Gong You's idea amusing.
"But you were just upset because of my behavior, right? So I have to apologize."
Gong You spoke earnestly, turning his face back. It wasn't very clear in the dim light of the sushi restaurant, but his face did seem a little red.
Akina Amezu smiled and thought to herself that it was truly a lucky thing for her to have made two such friends.
Although they can be childish at times, they are also very sincere, sincere enough to bring her to tears.
It always seems to shine so brightly.
Come to think of it, their arguments have decreased significantly recently.
Akina Amazu unconsciously thought of it and nodded: "Mm."
After a pause, she remembered what Gong You had just mentioned about spicy takoyaki and added, "Ah, speaking of spicy takoyaki, I won't be making it anytime soon because I don't have any ingredients at home."
The last time she ate takoyaki was at the beginning of the month. Later, she was busy tutoring these two people and forgot to go buy the ingredients.
Gong You muttered, "I didn't say I wanted to eat right now, it's all Zhu Zhi's fault."
All three of them laughed, and the rest of the lunch was a pleasant and harmonious affair.
-
After finishing their meal, when it was time to pay the bill, both Gong You and Gong Zhi took out their wallets.
Gong You smugly slapped two coupons on the counter: "A-Zhi, I have coupons now too, so don't think you can just make me pay for them."
Gong Zhi calmly took out a stack of coupons: "But these coupons should be more useful, right?"
Gong You's expression stiffened for a moment.
The waiter smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the three guests are together, so only one coupon can be used."
Gong You was the first to hand over a coupon: "Then use mine."
Then he looked at Gong Zhi: "Last time I paid for it, this time you'll have to pay for it."
Miyaji gritted his teeth, glanced at Amaho Akina who was following behind and quietly watching the two of them argue over the bill, and finally took out a yen note and slapped it on the counter.
Akina Amane leaned over for a look and exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm, Yu's coupon is quite a large amount."
Gong You proudly waved his finger: "Right? This was given to me by the clerk when I went shopping at the supermarket before."
Although he didn't know why the supermarket would have coupons for sushi restaurants.
Miyaji sighed heavily, muttering to himself, "Two thousand yen... how many rice balls could that buy..."
Clearly, they were feeling the pinch from the money they had just spent.
Akina patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, this month is almost over, you should be able to get your allowance again, right? Let's hurry up and head to the art exhibition. I'll treat you to dinner."
The three of them walked together toward the station, the final stop being the exhibition center of the art exhibition.
