After I Saved Kirigiri San, a Cool, Sharp-tongued Gyaru, From a Pick-up, She Started Coming Into My House the Next Day
“Then let’s go home.”
“I guess so.”
I yawned loudly while holding the mattress. Maybe it was because I had been sleeping on the floor for two days and still wasn’t feeling any better.
But it was great that I was able to buy all the daily necessities for Kirigiri’s life. It is a little small for two people to live together, but it is manageable.
“Oh, look, Kinoshita ! The crepe shop !”
I followed Kirigiri’s gaze and saw an orange kitchen car.
Next to me, Kirigiri was gazing at the crepe shop with sparkling eyes like a kid. They say that women have a sweet tooth, and Kirigiri seems to be no exception.
But the location is so bad that there are no customers at all.
“Do you want some?”
“Eh?”
“No, you look like you want to eat…….”
“N-not really………I was just looking.”
“Bullcrap.”
I guess she’s embarrassed to be so greedy because she’s a woman. There is no need to hide it.
“Well, I want to eat, so why don’t you join me?”
“Eh?”
“Come on, let’s go.”
I’m a little concerned that there are no customers at all, but I guess there is no difference between a bad crepe and a good crepe.
“Are you sure?”
“It’s no big deal, I was just feeling hungry myself.”
My wallet is tight, but I still have enough left over to treat myself to a crepe or two.
Hearing this, Kirigiri strode up to the kitchen car like a dog wagging its tail.
Next to the sign on the crepe menu was a sign that read “Part-time job wanted” in large letters.
“Hey ! Welcome ! Which one do you want? I recommend the chocolate banana crepe !”
A strong-looking old man wearing black sunglasses, who did not look like a crepe store manager, emerged from the stall.
I looked at the strong-faced old man and shriveled up. Kirigiri had the same reaction.
I thought I somehow understood why there were no customers at all. …..
“What’s wrong? Ain’t you eating?”
“Eh? Ah……”
There seem to be quite a variety, about twenty different types of crepes.
I made a little gesture of thinking about it and decided to order the crepe with blueberries and whipped cream on top.
“Then I’ll have the chocolate banana crepe, which was recommended !”
“Sure thing ! Wait here for a mo’ !”
After paying the bill, the manager, a strong-looking old man, looked at me and Kirigiri alternately.
“What a cute girl you have there ! Mister, make sure you take good care of her !”
“Eh, no, we’re not like that……”
After saying that, the strong-looking old man went back to making crepes.
It is normal for a man and a woman to be misunderstood when they are together.
But I’m worried that she might be upset because he thought I was her boyfriend…
I timidly glanced over at Kirigiri and saw that her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blinking.
I think Kirigiri’s facial expression has become more expressive recently. I don’t know if it is because she has moved away from her parents or if she has become more comfortable with me, but I think she has lost her initial unapproachable mood.
While I was thinking about this, Kirigiri’s crepe was ready in less than five minutes.
“Here’s your order ! It’s our signature chocolate banana crepe ! Be careful not to spill it ! Here, lil lady !”
“Thank you.”
The old man mutters a line like a sushi bar owner.
Kirigiri takes the chocolate banana crepe, sits down on the bench next to the kitchen car, and takes a bite.
“S-sho good…….”
The crepe must have been quite good on the palate, because Kirigiri’s cheeks melted into a smile.
This was the first time I’d seen Kirigiri look this happy…
“Good ! Here, it’s your blueberry whipped cream !”
I took the crepe from the old man and put it in my mouth.
The sweetness of the blueberries and whipped cream spread into my mouth and soaked into my five and six stomachs.
“T-too delicious !”
I have never eaten so many crepes that I can’t compare them, but I feel that the ones here are exceptionally delicious.
The owner must be very skillful. It was strange that there were no customers. I want to punch myself for judging by appearance.
“Kinoshita, I’ll give you a bite of mine too, so please give me one.”
Kirigiri said with a smile on her face as I was tasting the crepe.
I nodded silently and offered her the crepe, which she bit into with all her might.
“This is also delicious. Blueberries and whipped cream is the best combination, isn’t it?”
Then Kirigiri reacted the same way as before.
She seems to be very happy.
“Here’s mine.”
“Then……”
(No, wait a minute.)
Kirigiri may not have noticed, but if I were to bite into this chocolate banana crepe now, it would become an indirect kiss.
I was extremely concerned about that and looked at Kirikiri, but she looked at me dumbfoundedly.
If she didn’t notice, that’s fine.
“Then, I’ll have some !”
The chocolate banana crepe was indeed the owner’s recommendation, and not only was it sweetened with chocolate, but the banana flavor was also emphasized, giving it a satisfying result.
The small amount of cinnamon enhances the sweetness of the crepe. This is an addictive taste.
“It’s just too good…….!”
“Right～I’m glad I ordered it ! Ah…….”
Finally realizing the mistake she’d made, Kirigiri’s face went bright red and steam was rising from her head.
Suddenly, I looked over at the man and he was chuckling as he watched us eat.
(Don’t look, don’t look, don’t look……)
Despite my inner monologue, I pretended to be calm and shoved the berry cream into my mouth.
“Ah ….”
I realized that I had also given a mouthful of blueberry whipped cream to Kirigiri. The same mistake had been made by me.
“Indirect kiss” if the boys at school knew about this, they’d stab me in the back… I’ll take this fact to my grave.
“To be young……”
The old man muttered to himself, and then he suddenly took out a cigarette and put one in his mouth.
“Thanks for ordering ! Come again if ya want !”
“I’ll be more careful next time…”
“Y-you’re right……”
After enjoying our crepes, we went home, keeping our distance from each other to hide our embarrassment.
