After one more stop on the train, we arrived at our destination station.

 

It was Sunday, so the station was quite crowded.

 

“So many people.”

 

“Well, it’s Sunday, so it can’t be helped.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

After passing through the ticket gates using my IC card, we headed for the shopping mall.

 

From here, it would only be a three-minute walk.

 

“Yosh, we’re here. Where are we going first?”

 

“Lunch!!”

 

“He~?”

 

“It’s lunch time, and we left without eating breakfast, so…”

 

“That’s what I was thinking.”

 

I only had a drink for breakfast, just to take the edge off.

 

So naturally, I was hungry.

 

“Then we can start shopping!”

 

“Okay. Let’s go have Lunch.”

 

“Hai!”

 

They headed for the shopping mall’s food court.

 

“Is there anything you’d like to eat?”

 

The food court had a variety of restaurants in it.

 

“Hai. I think I want to eat Japanese food.”

 

“Japanese food? How about udon?”

 

“Sounds good. Let’s have udon.”

 

The two of us went to a Kyo Udon restaurant.

 

It was lunchtime, so we had to wait a bit, but were let in rather quickly.

 

“What would you like, Sara?”

 

I handed the menu to Sara, who was sitting across from me.

 

“I’ll have the Kitsune udon1.”

 

“Oh, then I will order the same.”

 

When we had decided what to order, the waitress brought us cold drinks and hand towels.

 

“Have you decided on your order?”

 

“Yes, two Kitsune udon, please.”

 

“Hai.”

 

“Please wait a moment.”

 

The waitress went back after taking our order.

 

After a few minutes of waiting, our order of Kitsune udon was brought to our table.

 

“Thank you for waiting. Here’s your Kitsune udon”

 

Two bowls of Kitsune udon were placed in front of them.

 

“Please take your time.”

 

“Yes, thank you very much.”

 

The two clasped their hands.

 

“Itadakimasu.”

 

The two of them started to savor the udon with its rich broth.

 

“I’ve never been here before, but it’s delicious.”

 

“That’s true. It’s my first time eating udon here, too.”

 

A few minutes later, we finished eating our lunch neatly.

 

“Thank you for the food.”

 

They clasped their hands again.

 

“All right, I’ll go pay the bill.”

 

I said, while sipping my tea after the meal.

 

“We’re splitting today!”

 

“It’s okay, even if I’m like this, I’m properly earning my money.”

 

Haruki smirked.

 

“Mou~~, you’re such a tease Nii-San.”

 

“Sara’s a girl too, so wait and put away your wallet without saying a word.”

 

I half-heartedly won the battle for the bill and finished paying it.

 

“Well then, let’s go look at some clothes.”

 

We went from the fourth floor, where the food court was, to the second floor, where the clothing brand stores were located.
