I Saw My Female Friend, a Beautiful and Neat Girl, Holding a Romance Book Titled “How to Get Your Male Friend to Like You” and Decided to Give Advice on Love~ In Fact, the Guy She Likes Seems to Be Me!?~
“That store is the delicious cake store I was talking about.”
Hizakura pointed to a cake store where there was a small line of people waiting to get in.
We stood in line together.
“There are a lot of seats here, so even if there is a line, we can get in pretty quickly.”
“If there’s a line, does that mean it’s popular?”
“Yes, because it’s really good.”
“I see. …… but if that’s the case, you should go with the person you like ───”
“A-Anyway!
It looks like there’s a cake menu, so let’s choose which one you’d like! Even if it’s cake with strawberries on it, there are so many different types!”
“O-okay.”
I’m going to take a look at the cake menu with Hizakura, who is again showing a mysterious vigor.
There are shortcakes, whole cakes for large groups, and a variety of flavors from whipped cream to cheesecake.
Time seemed to fly by as we looked at the menu, and soon we were at the front of the line.
And when the waitress asked from inside the restaurant, she asked with a smile.
“Two people?”
She asked me that, and I answered shortly.
“Yes.”
“Then let me show you to your seats.”
We entered the restaurant, sat down at the facing seats, and ordered cakes.
We both ordered the same cake, a strawberry shortcake.
While we were waiting for the cake to be delivered, I was taking a look at the store’s interior and the clientele, and I noticed something and mentioned it.
“Most of the customers seem to be girls or couples.”
“Couples?! T…….That’s right, maybe we even look like a couple?”
Hizakura asked me this with a blush on her cheeks.
“I wonder, but most probably would be surprised at how beautiful Hizakura is before we look like a couple, don’t you think?”
“Beautiful …… that means I’m attractive as the opposite gender from Kanzaki-kun’s point of view—–“
“Here you go, two shortcakes.”
“Y-yes!”
Just as Hizakura was about to say something, the clerk brought two shortcakes and placed them on the table between me and Hizakura.
Those two shortcakes have strawberries on top.
“Then, excuse me.”
After saying so, the waiter left the place and I immediately asked Hizakura
“Hizakura, were you trying to ask me something just now?
When I asked her that, she blushed and said
“Eh? N-Noo,nothing! Let’s just eat cake”
“Okay, then I’ll do that.”
I immediately took a bite of the cake.
The fluffy texture and rich cream …… are delicious.
While I was eating the cake, absorbed in its deliciousness for a while, I suddenly felt someone looking at me from across the street, so I looked in the direction of that line of sight. Then, for some reason, Hizakura’s cheeks turned a little red. She was looking at me while having fun with her hair
And it seemed that she hadn’t even taken a bite of the cake yet.
“Hizakura? Aren’t you going to eat the cake?”
“No, I’ll eat…but I get so happy when I see Kanzaki-kun eating cake so deliciously…If I make something delicious for you. Will you eat it with that face?”
……I was completely caught off guard, so my expression probably would have been quite loose-lipped when I was eating that delicious cake.
“That’s …… embarrassing.”
I muttered, and Hizakura shook her head and said.
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, I’m happy to know a new side of you, Kanzaki-kun,……Kanzaki-kun, if you like, will you continue to go out like this with me when you have time?”
“Yeah, that’s fine, of course, but …… could you please not look at me when I’m eating cake?”
“That’s a tough one.”
“Why not?!”
Afterwards, Hizakura and I had a light argument, but happily and deliciously ate the shortcake and walked out of the store.
