Volume 30 Chapter 4 (1/2)
The 'revenge group' of Sachiko-sai-san, Yuuki and Yumi walked into the same restaurant they went to back in autumn Unfortunately, there were no free tables, but after waiting about five ht in
The a There was a coroup ofdown their food so they couldon the floor after what had started out as a brotherly quarrel and a couple who had finished eating but were still coh they shared this fairy-tale space, they were all lead characters in their own dramas
So hoould Yuroup's drama unfold? Just like last time, they all went to the counter and ordered their own ot back to the table they saw that everyone had ordered three-colored curry
”Everyone must really like their curry”
Sachiko-sama muttered, to which the three others responded, ”That's not it”
”You've been going on and on about your revenge, Sacchan, so there was this pressure to order the sa as last time”
The fukuzawa siblings nodded in agreei-san's explanation
”But I didn't say you had to do that”
Despite her statement, Sachiko-saly cast the spell on herself too
”Anyway, the curry here's good so it doesn't matter”
Almost immediately, Yuuki started to soak up the curry with his extra-large naan bread He ry after all Sachiko-sa next to each other, had a whispered conversation and then broke one of their naan bread pieces in two The other, untouched piece, they offered to the guys The portions here were a bit too large for high-school girls, but not quite enough for guys in their late teens, so they always expected to share souys have the left-over naan bread after they had finished eating This was one of the e, or revision, better than the original
”That reminds me, Yumi We haven't done the roller-coaster yet”
”Don't tellon that too, onee-sama?”
Maybe she'd been secretly practicing riding roller-coasters, like she's been practicing driving for her license
”I won't go on the roller-coaster I've told you that before, haven't I?”
Indeed she had
”Then I'll pass on it too”
If it would keep her onee-sa, then Yus went like last tii-san She didn't really want that
”Don't hold back on account ofit is no reason for you to abstain”
”I' back”
Then Kashi+wagi-san, who had been listening to their conversation, chimed in:
”If you don't want to go on the roller-coaster with o with her”
Bulls-eye
Was Yuain? If she were to hastily bring both her hands to her cheeks then it would just confirm his suspicions Therefore, she calmly and quietly smiled back at him
”That's a rather over-inflated sense of self you have”
”Really? Well then, anytime you need an escort, I'll be there for you”
While Yuness was, she realized she had a long way to go if she wanted to spar with Kashi+wagi-san like this
Aie, he said On that autu around in the same place as back then?
”Yumi”
Unexpectedly, Yuuki spoke
”I'll ride the roller-coaster with you, if we don't find Yoshi+no-san's group”
”You don't have to force yourself”
”I'm not”
It looked like he was using the roller-coaster to cover over his earlier cowardly behavior at the haunted house
Like a piece of naan bread soaking up chicken curry Still, it seemed kind of sad
”Ah, you went in there, huh?”
They buroup just as they were leaving the restaurant
”What did you have for lunch, Yumi-san?”
Based on that, Yuroup had eaten lunch at soe fascination here and what other people eat Hoping to satisfy that appetite, Yumi answered
”Curry”
”I had a rice bowl”
”An onigiri rice ball?”
”That's what you'd think But you're wrong, it was a donburi rice bowl”
Yoshi+no-san laughed 'Bowl' not 'ball'
”Say, why don't we go on one of the rides? Co that I should have a light lunch About that ti about how the rice balls were great, so, without thinking about it too deeply I decided to have that and went inside By the time I'd realized it was rice bowls not rice balls it was ured it'd be okay After all, the lines will be pretty long so there's plenty of time for it to settle The rice bowl itself was fairly ordinary”
Yoshi+no-san was chatting away This was proof that she still hadn't made up with Rei-saushi+ng out over Yumi
Furthermore, if Yoshi+no-san wanted to reconcile then she probably would have asked Rei-sama where she wanted to have lunch and they would have talked it over Instead, Yoshi+no-san had overheard so and used that to decide where to eat Still, it was good to see that she had loosened up in soive in so easily if the store didn't have the food she expected If there was so she wanted to eat, she'd complain loudly as she moved to a different store Basically, there were many aspects of Yoshi+no-san's lunch with Rei-sama that defied Yumi's expectations
Yulance at Rei-sama She looked shell-shocked, like someone you would offer condolences to
”Can't you call a truce, at least while we're at the amusement park?”
Yuested to Yoshi+no-san, who responded coldly with, ”What for?” She see
”I don't knohat you're trying to iizes to ”
So, to Yoshi+no-san, this wasn't a fight but ”so” Unilaterally However, that seemed kind of suspicious Rei-sama wasn't the sort of person ould unilaterally do soize over the slightest s had soured to the point that a reconciliation would be difficult without an apology from Yoshi+no-san Nonetheless, the fact that they were still walking around together was a testament to their perseverance
”Yoshi+no-chan, what did you want to ride on?”
Kashi+wagi-san inquired
”… I hadn't decided”
Yoshi+no-san glanced at Rei-sama But she still didn't seem to want to talk to her
”Since we ran into each other again, I thought we ether for a while Is that okay with you, Rei-san?”
”Ah, yeah, of course”
Kashi+wagi-san had apparently noticed the turbulent at to intervene His plan was probably to use the exciteradually reconcile
”Then let's start with that”
Kashi+wagi-san said cheerfully, pointing The teacups ride had just come into view, and that was probably what caused him to interject
Still, not everyone hurried towards the ride
”I' on that”
Sachiko-sama said
”Huh?”
”I said, I'ht? Riding on that would make me feel sick”
So the list of rides Sachiko-sao on wasn't limited to just the roller-coaster Froone on the teacups ride last ti to force someone onto the ride who had just announced that it would make them feel sick
”Will you be alright just watching us, Sacchan?”
”I should be able to do that”
”Ah - ”
Before Yumi had a chance to say, ”Then I'll watch too,” Kashi+wagi-san whispered to her:
”Sacchan's going to stand outside and wave to you while you're on the ride, Yuht?”
”See,” he said, pointing towards a wo the teacups ride and waving She was looking straight at aback So that's the kind of senti for
”I see”
Yuhed at her si on the ride just because of Kashi+wagi-san's invitation If Yumi was there, then Yoshi+no-san would chatter And Rei-saentle If it were just the two guys, it seeood connection
Now, in order to pull off this plan to reconcile the Yellow Rose sisters, it was imperative that they both be in the saether in silence, but there was no way they'd be able toteacup ride The ride was designed to get people giddy and excited
With that in i-san, Yumi and Yuuki lined up ahead of Yoshi+no-san and Rei-saet on the ride, Yui-san would all dash towards one of the teacups, leaving Yoshi+no-san and Rei-saether Noaround each other, it was incredibly unlikely that they'd sit alone in separate teacups
After they'd been standing in line for a short while, Tsutako-san and Shouko-chan joined the end of the line, about two groups back They didn't call Tsutako-san's group over, out of consideration for the people lined up between them, but they did wave to let them know they were there It looked like this attraction was everyone's first stop after lunch
Soon the line started to move and eventually the attendant asked them, ”How many people are in your party?” They answered with, ”Three people,” and the attendant roup
”I'm sorry, but this is the limit for how many we can have on at a time”
In other words, Yuroup would be on the teacup ride the next tiroup the ti with Tsutako-san and Shouko-chan
Yoshi+no-san clicked her tongue softly The amuseht with Rei-sama it was quite the opposite Usually she'd have h everything That much was plain to see
”Yoshi+no”
Still, Rei-sa to allow that
”There's nothing we can do about it We have to wait our turn”
Having just been cautioned, Yoshi+no-san's dissatisfied expression turned to outright displeasure
”Uo instead of us”
Yuuki offered, either because he was unable to watch any longer or because he was unwilling to stand idly by
”You're better off not indulging her, Yuuki-kun”
”Ho ahead of you”
”There's no need to lash out at Yuuki-kun”
”He started talking to me and I merely answered”
Yuuki thought he was acting like a gentle unconcerned, but, having grown up attending an all-boys school, Yuuki couldn't understand a woman's delicate emotions
In general, it's better to let sleeping dogs lie Then the ride caot off and the attendant did a quick check of the insides of the teacups before giving thei-san called out, ”That red cup!” and Yumi dashed after him
Yoshi+no-san and Rei-sama were left behind and what happened between them was up to God It would be nice if they could cheer up as they spun around together, but things probably wouldn't work out that easily Still, a little bit of i way
Due to his quick decision about which teacup to aii-san was able to clai Yuht up with him and plopped down on the chair inside the cup
”Huh?”
Yuuki still wasn't there, even though he should have been a faster runner than Yumi Maybe he hadn't heard the call of red teacup and andering around lost Yun of hist theher rounds, checking that the doors on the teacups were securely closed
”Yukichi's blown it”
Kashi+wagi-sanabout, and saw Yuuki standing at the front of the line, looking towards thehtly so that he couldn't escape By Yoshi+no-san
”I didn't know Yoshi+no-san liked Yuuki”
”Neither did I”
