Chapter 219 (2/2)

I wouldn’t allow anyone to get in my way

Still, I supposed I could go with him for today After all, I was a bit harsh to him that day

And that was how I ended up getting in his car to head to a far away fast food joint

We had ourselves dropped off near a train station, and walked into a nearby fast food restaurant

All over the place were students from other schools

“Oi, Kisshouin! Teach me how to order!” he whispered to me

“You simply line up at the counter and tell them what you hen it is your turn”

“I see”

Kaburagi complied and lined up in a queue

He seeantly, but a closer inspection revealed

inspection revealed that he was actually staring at the menu up top

Gosh, did this guy stand out

Everybody was looking at us

So furiously, but the guy hiaze nailed to the menu

It was norirls around hienuine focus on the menu

Eventually it was our turn

Kaburagi ordered an iced coffee and a haer

“Would you like fries with that? It would upgrade your order to this ested the employee

Kaburagi’s eyes swam about, suddenly overwhelmed

I tugged on his sleeve to snap him out of it

“Since we are already here, why not?” I suggested to him

“Good idea,” he ireed

In the end I got a cheeseburger meal as well

Trays in hand, the two of us went to find somewhere to sit on the second floor

“This was cheaper than expected…” Kaburagi muttered to himself in awe

Well yeah

But when he took a sip of the iced coffee, he grimaced

“This is really watered down,” he said

“That is how they are,” I replied

There was no use in expecting anything out of the drinks from these places

I took a sip er

After watchinga bite

“I see”

He see to himself in admiration

Kaburagi looked around

“There are a lot of high schoolers here…” he muttered

“It is the right price for a small snack after school,” I explained “It is also another chance to spend more time with your friends”

“I see…”

“If you feel a little ry than that, usually you would head to a family restaurant instead, or if you are a boy, then perhaps a ramen stall”

“I see…”

Kaburagi went back to his chips

French fries were good stuff~

I never went to a fast food place without ordering chips, you know?

Naturally there was a Reika’s Chips Ranking as well

French fries were my favourite

I took a mouthful of fries as well

Oops, nearly forgot

I opened up my tomato sauce

Tomato sauce was essential to french fries, after all

Kaburagi’s eyes widened

“Oi! What the heck is that!?” he demanded

“Tomato sauce,” I answered primly

After dipping a chip in, I carried it into my mouth

Kaburagi began searching his own tray

“Why? Why doesn’t my tray have done!?”

“If you do not ask while ordering, they will not give you any”

“Why didn’t you say it for me!? I didn’tabout this!”

“Oh, did you want some?”

Kaburagi glared at me in vexation

Huhu

I paid him no mind and continued to eat my sauce-covered french fries

Yummyy~

Toood

“…Let me borrow that”

“Out of the question”

If he used soh for me

I was one of those types who had to have tomato sauce with her chips

“Then couldn’t you go get some for me too?”

“No Why do you not go yourself?”

Going up and down those stairs was a pain

“…I still haven’t had enough experience with fast food restaurants to go by myself”

“What in heavens are you talking about?”

“…There are soup Should I really join the queue just for tomato sauce?”

“You can simply ask from the side of the counter”

“But the staff are so busy It’s too hard for me,” he shook his head

Then just give up

“Aren’t you a bit too cold?”

“A painful et to order to experience”

Isn’t that great, Kaburagi?

You’ve learnt so else about fast food chains

Kaburagi just looked at er

It occurred to i was sitting next to er from a fast food joint

This was beyond the wildest dreams of anybody from Zui’ran

And to think that he’d be so lost in here too

“Anyway, I think I’ve rasped how these fast food joints work”

“How naïve”

“What?”

I took a sip of

“Unlike this store where your food is mostly prepared beforehand, there are fast food places where they begin cooking after you order”

“What did you say!?”

“In those cases, they give you a ticket and you have to wait until the cooking is done”

“Is such a thing even possible…!?”

“They may all be ‘fast food’ stores, but each one has their own characteristics, and rave ht today was all there was to it”

Kaburagi looked thunderstruck by my revelation

Foh! The commoner’s way of life has profound depths!

After we finished our meals, we stood up from our seats

Oi, Kaburagi

This guy was actually just going to up and leave

Your throw your own rubbish away here, dude

This isn’t the ti to yourself

You better take notes on everything you remember from today

Because I’ain, okay!?

“Next is the family restaurant,” he announced

Go by yourself!
