| Chapter 4 | |
|
After taking a nap, I woke up a bit after lunchtime started and went to the cafeteria. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(I’m so hungry… I wonder why my stomach feels this empty after pulling an all-nighter.) |
| Senri Nito |
Yumapi~! Morning! |
| Touji Harimiya |
Good morning, Mochizuki-kun. |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Good… afternoon. |
| Senri Nito |
Ahaha, we just woke up so it’s still morning! |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
… Nito and Harimiya, it’s just you two? |
| Senri Nito |
As punishment for saying something mean to Yumapi, I didn’t wake that stupid lion up. Hehe. |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Is that so… Did he say something rude to me? |
| Senri Nito |
You don’t have to worry about it, Yumapi~. But I had a personal reason for not waking Shishimaru up, too. Meaning that scaredy-cat Shishimaru can treat us to dinner today and breakfast tomorrow. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Yes, now that you mention it, he did promise that. |
| Senri Nito |
I wanna eat sukiyaki~ I love meat! |
| Touji Harimiya |
Indeed. I’m particularly fond of the taste of that salty-sweet sukiyaki stock. |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(Love… fond of…) |
| Senri Nito |
Anyway, I wonder what I should have for lunch~ The menu for this cafeteria is so big I can’t decide. |
| Touji Harimiya |
After an all-nighter, your biological clock goes awry and it’s easy to feel like your stomach is empty. But it is best to eat something gentle on the stomach. |
| Senri Nito |
How about vegetable soup then? |
|
Along with the two of them, I looked over the buffet of high-grade dishes. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(I like tamagoyaki… no, it’s just. Average?) (Hamburg is… average too. Fish is average.) (That’s average… this is average too… Average… Average……) |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(–!) |
|
I involuntarily felt myself stop in my tracks in front of a large pot on the limited menu. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(This is… satsumajiru.) |
|
A familiar local dish from my hometown in Kagoshima. (*a dish from kagoshima made from miso soup, chicken or pork and lots of vegetables) | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(Granny always made it, but… this is the first time I’ve seen it since coming to Tokyo.) ……. |
| Senri Nito |
Yumapiii. Do you wanna eat this? |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Eh…? |
| Senri Nito |
It’s just, you’re looking at it so intensely! It’s unusual. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Hm. This is… pork soup, no? |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(No, it’s satsumajiru….) |
| Senri Nito |
Eeeh, Yumapi, so you like pork soup. I get it! It’s yummy! |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(“Like”…) (… That’s… probably right…?) |
| Touji Harimiya |
One cup for 1850 yen (~$18 USD), that’s surprisingly reasonable. |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
!? |
| Senri Nito |
Eh– that’s some expensive soup! But I guess all the food in this cafeteria is like that… |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(Eighteen hundred and fifty yen… for just a single cup in a miso bowl…) |
|
I began to fill in the numbers in the household account book in my head. – There’s no way. Spending 1850 yen here would be a heavy blow. If I worked hard back on the island, I would be able to give Mari her favorite chocolates to eat. Even Granny would bring fairly expensive manjuu (buns) to the village meetings. | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
… I’m gonna go look over there. |
| Senri Nito |
Huh? Yumapi, you’re not gonna have the pork soup? |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
… I’m not really in the mood for it. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Mochizuki-kun…? |
| Senri Nito |
…… |
|
… ……. ……… | |
| Senri Nito |
– And so! |
| Senri Nito |
