Chapter 07…
Making the Beautiful Girl Angry.
Just when I thought Ruka would wave along with me, he suddenly said,
“Then, I’ll go home too.”
Hearing that, Yua’s mood clearly took a dive.
“…Eh…? Wh-what are you saying…? You should stay and relax a bit, right…?”
“Hm? Why? If Risa’s going home, then I’m going too.”
Saying that, Ruka got up from his seat as if it were the most natural thing.
“Eh… Ehh?! Ruka, you’re leaving? My cake hasn’t even arrived yet!”
Yua puffed out her cheeks in irritation.
“Don’t worry. The cake’s on me.”
Ruka picked up the bill from the table, waved it lightly with a smile at Yua, and said,
“See you later, Yua-chan,” before giving her a refreshing wave.
Then—
“Let’s go, Risa.”
He naturally reached out and took my hand.
“W-wait. We’re not… in that kind of relationship…”
I almost said it, but I couldn’t just blurt out something weird and crush Ruka’s pride.
After all, Ruka is still an active idol.
And I know he’s extremely serious—almost overly stoic—about his career in showbiz.
It annoys me, but for now I’ll endure it.
Next time, I’ll definitely make him treat me to luxury sushi or yakiniku!
When we stepped outside still holding hands, I glanced back and froze.
From inside the glass-walled sweets café, Yua was glaring at us with a terrifying expression.
And right then, she stabbed her fork furiously into the cake that must have just been served at her table.
It looked like she might actually break through the glass in her rage.
Whoa—scary…
