Tokyo: Who would still fall in love after being spoiled?

Chapter 15: Heaven and earth are witnesses, Inoue never intended to bully girls
When Inoue got his backpack back and returned to the park, the crowd by the river had already dispersed, and there was a guy on the grass whom he somewhat knew.

Takeda, who had changed into casual clothes, stretched out his arms, looked up at the sky, puffed up his cheeks, and blew air with full concentration.

A piece of thin paper was barely floating in the air not far above her head with the air current, and it drifted left and right with the breeze.

She also ran around in a panic following the paper.

I don't understand what you are doing.

When he came, he was only concerned with jumping into the river, and when he left, he was only concerned with chasing the suspect. He did not notice whether this person was there when he shouted the Prime Minister's declaration, or came during the time he was away.

Takeda's paper fell again. He looked away, walked back to the steps leading into the water on the shore, sat down on the ground, and wrung out his clothes that were soaked with river water.

The wrung-out water gurgled down the stairs and flowed back into the river.

His sneakers were also completely wet, so he took them off and took off his socks at the same time, wringing them dry first.

It's not necessary to wring out all the water from the clothes; he can't do that.

I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be dripping all the way back to the dormitory building, but I got bothered by the guy with the mustache and asked him to go buy some cigarettes.

Yes, he's not a good guy either. When he becomes prime minister, I'll definitely put him in jail too.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a knife attack on his head.

"Prime Minister? Why don't you add me back?" Takeda, who couldn't even blow paper, came to ask for an explanation.

"what?"

"Line! Friends."

"You weren't the one who deleted me? And now you've forgotten the messages you sent before deleting me?"

"Ah...haha..." Takeda laughed awkwardly, using a supermarket discount poster as a cushion as he sat down next to him. "I was just letting out some steam, but now I'm done with my anger. I don't blame you. Blame me, blame me."

"Oh……"

Admit your mistake?

He was suddenly surprised and looked up.

Takeda's face lit up with joy, and he quickly took his cell phone out of his messenger bag and held it up.

He made a scissors gesture to the camera.

"What are you doing?" Takeda put down his phone and glared at him.

Ten thousand points… He stared at Takeda’s face for a few seconds.

"Is there something?" Takeda asked doubtfully. He raised his hand and touched his face, then turned on the front camera of his phone.

"No." He turned around and took his phone out of his student bag. "Line?"

"Oh!"

Added back as a friend for the third time.

His chat page also displayed two lines of words: [Stupid Pig] and [Lolulu].

The next moment, Takeda sent him a message face to face.

[Takeda: Don’t tell anyone about me climbing over the wall to get back to the boarding house every day!]
[Takeda: (The fox apologizes), (The fox and the rabbit shake hands and make peace).]
Oh... no wonder he apologized.

I see……

In return, he also replied a message.

[Inoue: I want to eat ramen tonight.]
"Eh!"

……

Inoue didn't know if this was blackmail.

Anyway, after Takeda accompanied him back to the boarding house to change into regular clothes, the two of them went to the ramen restaurant he went to last night.

In front of him was a bowl of family-style ramen, and in front of Takeda was the most ordinary bowl of ramen.

They sat facing each other in a booth by the wall.

"I've eaten ramen at all the places around the boarding house, and this one tastes the best." He picked up the chashu with chopsticks and said to Takeda who was sitting opposite him.

Takeda was staring at the piece of barbecued pork he was holding with his chopsticks. Seeing him bring the barbecued pork to his mouth and eat it with relish, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken:

“Why did you order a family photo?”

"It's delicious!" he answered as a matter of course.

"It's twice as expensive as a regular bowl of ramen..." Takeda muttered, lowering his head, picking up a bowl of ramen with his chopsticks and slurping it down. "Thank you, thank you—" Sometimes he felt that he was quite mean. If there was a suitable opportunity in the future, he should come back...

"I'll treat you to some ramen!" Takeda glared at him. "Promise you won't tell?"

"No, no." This time he asked for a harder grade of noodles, which tasted a little chewier than last time.

After eating noodles and drinking soup, Takeda finally finished two bowls and reluctantly stood up to pay.

He sat there, and soon the phone on the table rang with a message alert.

[Takeda: Three hundred yen left!]
[Takeda: (Rabbit asks for help)]
[Takeda: I'll treat you to bread tomorrow morning!]
Three hundred difference?
The last time I saw her take out her wallet, wasn't there a ton of cash...

Inoue looked up and saw Takeda, who was standing in front of the cashier counter, winking at him with a slightly red face.

[Inoue: Cream bread.]
He stood up, responded to Takeda's expectation, walked to the front desk and handed over 1,000 yen.

The clerk gave him the change, and he signaled with his eyes to pass it to Takeda.

When we left the ramen restaurant, it was already late at night. The moon was bright in the sky, street lights were on on both sides of the street, and the commercial street was still as bright as day.

"I didn't expect you still have some compassion..." Takeda took the largest 500 yen coin in the change and looked at it with his back to the light.

Her wallet, which was bulging two days ago, is now empty, as shriveled as the "after weight loss" effect picture in a weight loss advertisement.

"I was thinking..." He paused, thinking for a moment.

There's no reminder popping up that the task is complete. It seems that just eating a bowl of ramen isn't enough to be considered a date.

"I want to eat barbecue on the weekend."

"Eh...! Should I pay?"

"Didn't I give you 700 yen in advance?"

"That's not enough!" Takeda stomped his feet.

He smiled back.

"You! You with the mustache! Birds of a feather!" Takeda said angrily.

"So? You're still going to work tonight?" Working at night is against the high school part-time job regulations...Takeda-san.

"...Sunday." Takeda accepted his fate.

"Okay, okay... I'll find out which barbecue place is the best in advance."

The negative impressions accumulated like this should be enough... Let's just split the bill when we have the barbecue.

"Tomorrow!" Takeda's chest swelled with anger, seemingly even bigger than Amano's. He gritted his teeth and said, "Remember to get up early!"

"why?"

"I'm going to the park for morning exercise."

"Playing the paper blowing game like we did just now?"

"That's practicing breathing!" Takeda glared at him.

"Is that so..." A part of his memory was awakened, "Takeda is still in the wind band?"

"No... No! Why should I tell you?"

"Just asking."

Takeda has turned into a hedgehog with its fur standing on end.

We passed by the commercial street where the grocery store where Takeda worked part-time was located and parted ways here.

When he returned to the boarding house, he took down the school uniform hanging on the balcony and took it to a laundry shop near the boarding house that specialized in serving boarding school students.

The largest customer base is students, so the laundry shop opens very early in the morning. Even if you leave at the same time as your boarding house opens, you can still pick up your clothes after drying.

however……

The next morning, he went downstairs.

Not only did I see Takeda by the flower bed, but I also saw Amano wearing a sailor suit and carrying a backpack.

The two stood together, looked at him at the same time, and continued their conversation.

Takeda was holding the butter bread he bought for him, but he hesitated.

It was as if he had witnessed a murder.
