Chapter 43 A Sweet Moment at a Cafe
#Ore ni Tsumetai TsumaA Sweet Moment at a Cafe
After leaving the lingerie store, we went to a cafe to take a break.
We sat down, ordered our drinks and cakes, and waited.
“The cakes here are really delicious, you know?”
“Oh, really? Have you been here before?”
“Yes, I’m a regular customer~”
I see, no wonder she decided on her order so quickly.
By the way, Yume-chan ordered a strawberry cake with lots of strawberries and milk tea, while I played it safe and ordered a Mont Blanc and coffee.
“Makoto-san, thank you for coming with me today. I’m so happy to have a date with you~”
“W-well….”
She said it so boldly and without hesitation that I was startled.
Could it be that Yume-chan has feelings for me?
Maybe I’m too self-conscious, but she wouldn’t ask me out if she didn’t.
As a guy, it’s only natural to be happy that such a cute girl likes me.
“Oh? Are you blushing?”
“Uh-uh….”
“Fufufu, I got it right. He’s so cute… I want to eat him~”
“Eh, what did you just say…?”
I asked again because I couldn’t hear the last part, but Yume-chan dodged the question with a smile and said,
“Nothing~”
While we were having this conversation, the waiter brought over the cakes and drinks we ordered.
“Please, here it comes!”
“Yes, it looks delicious.”
“Fufufu, right?”
I gave an honest opinion when I saw the cakes that were brought over.
Yume-chan’s cake was cutely arranged in a way that girls would like, and my Mont Blanc had even more cream than usual.
“Oh, yours looks delicious too, Makoto-san? Can I have a bite?”
“Eh? Yeah, sure, but….”
I readily agreed and waited for Yume-chan to stick her fork into the Mont Blanc, but she didn’t seem to do so.
Instead, she closed her eyes and opened her mouth a little.
“…Um, what are you doing?”
“Eh? Aren’t you going to feed me?”
Yume-chan asked me with a confused look.
I was at a loss for words when she said it so naturally. I’m too embarrassed to ’feed’ her.
“…Why don’t you eat with your own fork?”
“Oh…! My fork fell on the floor! I can’t eat with this….”
Unless my eyes were playing tricks on me, it looked like she dropped it on purpose…?
And her lines sounded kind of rehearsed.
But no need to worry. In this case, all we have to do is call the waiter and ask for a replacement.
“Okay. Let’s call the waiter.”
“Don’t you have to…? Because Makoto-san is holding the fork.”
“No, it’s too embarrassing, right?”
“Since Makoto-san’s holding it, let’s use it together.”
“No, I mean…?”
“L-e-t’s u-s-e it t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r?”
“…Okay.”
With a beaming smile, she forcefully repeated the same words. I had no choice but to give in and nod.
When a girl gives you such intense pressure with a smile, anyone would lose the will to resist.
But I will be kissing her indirectly, right? I wonder if Yume-chan is really aware of that.
“So, feed me~”
“…Okay, here you go.”
“Ahh~”
Not wanting to embarrass the girl too much, I followed her request and used my fork to feed Yume-chan the Mont Blanc.
Yume-chan chewed it, her face slightly red.
Ugh, this is so embarrassing.
“Mmm, it’s delicious~ It’s like Makoto-san’s love is the secret ingredient~”
“No, I didn’t put love in it…?”
I couldn’t help but retort, but she didn’t seem to mind and continued to look happy.
And after she swallowed the cake, she grabbed my fork and offered me the Mont Blanc.
“W-wait, Yume-chan…!?”
“Since I fed you, I’ll feed you now~”
“N-no, I can eat it by myself!”
“Let me feed you, okay?”
“…Okay.”
Once again, I was under pressure and had no choice but to obediently follow.
No matter how much I refused, she probably wouldn’t give up.
Yume-chan’s smile was so scary.
“So, open up?”
“U-uh… ahhh…”
I gave up and closed my eyes and opened my mouth, and Yume-chan reached out with her fork to bring it to my mouth.
…But the fork never reached me.
“Mmm, this is delicious.”
“…Eh?”
I turned my face at the familiar voice, and there was Hana-chan, who had taken the Mont Blanc that Yume-chan had offered and was eating it instead.
