good on you.”
“Th-thank you.”
Asagi couldn’t help but smile broadly. She’d had a secret love of the sandals she was wearing that day and finally got a pair as a reward after applying with fifty handwritten postcards. It wasn’t something she’d brag to other people about, but of course she was glad that someone out there recognized their value.
Yaze seemed to enjoy cutting in as his sharp eyes picked up Asagi’s broad grin.
“What are you blushing for, Asagi?”
Asagi raised her eyebrows.
“Sh-shut up. It’s got nothing to do with you.”
“Hmm, are they really that big a deal?”
Noticing Kojou staring at the bare tops of her feet, Asagi rudely kicked him away.
“Don’t look, you!”
Yuuma giggled as she watched the interaction between the three of them. “This is good stuff.” Her words, coming as she brought soup to her lips, brought a merry “Nice!” out of Yaze.
“You’ve got pretty good taste to appreciate this place, Tokoyogi. This is a place known only to a select few, even on Itogami Island. This is just between us, but I hear they use Demon Sanctuary research feedback for the special ingredients.
“In other words, rumor has it they use demon food testers with taste buds more sensitive than humans to pick out their stuff.”
Yuuma spoke with visible admiration as she scooped up some soup and offered it in front of Yaze.
“This’s really something. How about you try some, too, Yaze?”
It was a classic
say aaahh
pose. For a moment, Yaze stopped out of apparent shock; then he thrust his face forward, his cheeks red all the while. His motion was made awkward by his uncharacteristic nervousness.
For some reason, Yaze’s compliment was actually polite. “Th-this is delicious.”
Yuuma made a happy-looking nod. “Isn’t it? I’m so glad.”
“…What are you blushing for?” Asagi asked with an amazed look as she watched Yaze flustered by Yuuma’s jubilance.
Yaze clutched his head in visible anguish.
“I-I’m not. It’s a misunderstanding. My heart’s already set on another wo— Yikes?!”
Yaze let out a short yelp as his cell phone rang right then with perfect timing. Judging from the twitch of his face, one might think it was a call from the girlfriend in question.
In contrast to Yaze being thoroughly shaken, Yuuma’s behavior was calm and collected. To her, this sort of thing was just normal communication between friends. Kojou, for his part, calmly continued eating, quite familiar with Yuuma’s personality.
I see
, Asagi thought, accepting something in a roundabout way. No doubt this combined with Kojou’s quite dense personality had shaped his view of how girls expressed goodwill. It was even possible he’d dismiss her having kissed him as normal communication, too.
Having said that, she felt having had a girl like Yuuma around him since he was little meant he couldn’t help it. Glancing sideways, Asagi made a hearty sigh as Yuuma continued merrily eating like some sort of oblivious gigolo.
“…It’s just not fair.”
“What are you talking about?” Kojou asked.
“Nothing at all. Just that a friend like that’s wasted on you, Kojou.”
“That so…?” Kojou’s lips twisted as he replied, looking a tad wounded.
“I’ll have you know she’s had some pretty big blunders too. I mean back during our fifth-grade camping trip—”
Yuuma threatened Kojou with a very calm look on her face.
“You sure about that, Kojou? If you divulge that information, I’ll tell them
that
story about you, you know.”
Kojou swiftly submitted. “I’m very sorry, please forgive me.”
Asagi resumed blowing bubbles into the bottom of her glass as she watched Kojou and Yuuma engaged in a comedy routine.
She hated to admit it, but there was no doubt Yuuma was a very charming girl. Hard as that was, there was no atmosphere of intimacy between her and Kojou at all. At the very least, Kojou treated her completely the same as any guy friend.
