My youth romance is always confusing

Thanks to a certain guy, I barely watched a word of the second half of this movie.

It wasn't until the lights in the theater came on that I realized the movie was over.

This guy.

With a hint of resentment, I looked towards the seat next to me, but the figure of Yukinoshita Haruno who was originally there was no longer there.

When did this woman leave? There was no sound at all. It would be a waste of her talent if she didn't become a ninja.

When I glanced across the corridor, I noticed the guy patting his butt and preparing to leave.

Although I really wanted to shout Yukinoshita Haruno right here, but considering that this is a movie theater with a lot of people, I finally gave up the idea and could only watch the woman run out of the theater.

So, what on earth was she here for?

While I was still pondering the strange behavior of this woman, the energetic voice of the high school girl rang out beside me.

"Xiaoqi!"

Perhaps they were still unsatisfied with the movie, the two people next to Yuigahama were still discussing the plot of the movie.

But it's really amazing that a high school student can chat with little kids.

With a somewhat cheerful pace, Yuigahama and the two people behind him reunited with Hachiman.

"Where to go next?"

I glanced at my phone and the clock showed it was not yet twelve o'clock.

Normally, this is the time for lunch, but the person she's with is Yuigahama, and I have no idea what she's thinking.

An exquisite little notebook was constantly flipping through Yuigahama's hands, and the pages made a rustling sound.

What? Is this guy the kind of person who would carry a notebook with him when he goes out? You can’t judge a person by his appearance.

"Let's go eat at Saizeriya. There's one in front of the station. Yumiko and the others said it's pretty good."

"Thalia?"

A familiar name jumped into my ears, and I asked subconsciously.

"what happened?"

Looking at Yuigahama's wide eyes, I thought about the days when I was preparing for the midterm exam.

At the study session, she kept clamoring to go to Sizeriya. Could it be that she had already planned it since then?

Really, when it comes to eating, girls are a very magical species.

"No, it's nothing. Since we have to go to Saria, let's hurry up, you see."

I showed Yuigahama the time on my phone.

"Hey hey hey! Isn't it time for lunch? We have to hurry or there will be no seats left."

Feeling that time was running out, the girl led everyone to Saria in front of the station.

----------

Although everyone quickened their pace, Yuigahama was still shocked by the number of people in front of the station on the weekend.

After rushing and hurrying, everyone finally got a seat before Saria became crowded.

"Whoo~"

Apparently, finding a seat is a physically demanding job. Yuigahama never stopped moving since she came out of the cinema.

Now sitting in her seat, Yuigahama couldn't stop breathing heavily.

Although Yuigahama is an absolute beauty, it is still a little hard to accept that she would expose her ugly side in front of everyone without any scruples like this.

But I didn't expect that she would show this side of her in front of us.

Yukinoshita also had a look of despair on her face. It seemed that the forced march just now was too much for them.

There is no other way. I have to go and order food now. Otherwise, if I wait until they finish their rest and then go to order food, we will have to wait an hour before we can have lunch.

"You guys wait here, I'll go take the order."

Maybe because they were feeling really bad, the girls had no intention of going with me.

Hmm....maybe they won't go with me when they are not in good health?

Thinking back to my memories from junior high school, I think this is very likely the case.

Standing in the ordering line, my mind started to wander.

Although we got a seat in time, we have to say that there were still a lot of customers in Saizeriya at this time.

For example, there are at least five people standing in front of me now, and I am at the end.

You know, these five people just came to order food, which means there are at least five groups of people waiting to eat in the restaurant.

The increasingly noisy atmosphere behind him also proved this point.

To kill time, I took out my phone and read the latest entertainment news.

But my focus is more on otaku culture, such as which game has a new work, or which author has a new book.

I am more willing to pay attention to this kind of news.

After swiping my phone for who knows how long, the people in front of me finally left and it was my turn to order.

“…”

Looking at the high school girl with glasses behind the counter, I felt a little dreamy.

Has society become so small now? How come I run into my high school classmates when I go out to eat?

Ebina stood in front of me with a smile on his face, waiting for my order.

She was wearing the work clothes of Saizeriya restaurant and looked like she was here to work.

Eh? Wait, didn't Yuigahama cancel Miura and Ebina's party? Wouldn't it be awkward if they met?

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"

The originally sweet voice now has a different meaning in my ears.

And that look she gave was directed at Yuigahama and the others, right?

"Um...."

Although there were no customers behind me, I still decided to order first due to the invisible pressure.

"Two servings of pasta, one serving of hamburger meat, and two servings of omelette rice."

I remember Yuigahama had been saying she wanted to eat hamburger meat or something during the study session, so I ordered it this time when I had the chance.

Ebina, who was standing behind the counter, was tapping his fingers on the machine in front of him while listening to Hachiman's order.

"Yeah, two servings of pasta, one serving of hamburger meat, two servings of omelette rice, and one serving of seafood risotto, right?"

In order not to be late, she even repeated Hachiman's order, but it seemed like there was something mixed in that wasn't there before.

"Eh? I don't think I ordered that seafood—"

"Two servings of pasta, one serving of hamburger meat, two servings of omelette rice, and one serving of seafood risotto, right?"

Like a machine, Ebina repeated it again.

Looking at her fake smile, I roughly understood.

I could only sigh silently for Yuigahama in my heart.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll process your order right away. Do you have any other needs?"

"No."

"Okay, then please go back to your seat and wait."

After paying for the meal in advance, I walked slowly back to my seat, praying for someone who didn't know the situation yet.

It just seemed like something was following me.

I glanced at Ebina who was standing beside me without saying a word.

"Um, Miss Clerk, don't you need to stand guard at the counter?"

"Hate it, Hikigaya-kun. It's only been one day since we last met, and you can't even recognize your classmates."

While Ebina was answering my question, she was staring straight at Yuigahama and her group.

Don't do this, it's scary.

Perhaps sensing Hachiman's inner thoughts, Ebina turned his head and gave him a big smile.

"Don't look at me like that. My aunt grabbed me and asked me to do the work. I didn't have to do any work anyway."

She pointed to the counter behind her, where another person in work clothes was already standing.

It seems that what she said is true.
