Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

"Got to go back...finally."

"At least not now."

Yi Sei puffed up her cheeks, causing a commotion.It seems that I am really angry... It seems that there is indeed a quarrel... But, is there a need to be so angry...

After a while, I shook my head lightly, my family would never have such a thing, it is really too much to understand this kind of thing... my family will never quarrel ...After all, there is a complete class system, like a pyramid from top to bottom, it is absolutely impossible for Isshiki to be in the current situation. I can guarantee this with 18 years of life experience.

After walking in silence for a few minutes, we stopped at the red light on the sidewalk, and my destination was just across from here, just across here, except for a 24-hour ramen restaurant , as well as convenience stores and other restaurants.

I glanced at her, still seeming to be sulking.

"...Dinner, you probably haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Hearing my voice, Isshiki looked over slowly, his face gradually returned to normal with this movement, blinked at me, and nodded slightly

"Did you eat some snacks when you were shopping before...Senior?"

"What do you think I will do when I come out at this time..."

Half helpless and half headache replied, I can't just leave this guy here... If I do that, I will probably become a sinner. And, after knowing the reason, there is a kind of The guilt of association.

"Dinner... Do you want to come together?"

So, even if it wasn't my intention, I still extended this invitation to her.

Then, the guy's big eyes blinked several times in a row, showing a somewhat unsure expression, pointing at himself and asking:

"Senior...are you inviting me?"

"If there's no one else here who I know and who knows me."

As if to confirm what I said, Isshiki looked around quickly, and after confirming that there were only me and her waiting for the red light here, she looked at me with a face full of disbelief

"It's me?"

"Ha... If you don't want to go, don't go here... I..."

"go with!"

Before I finished speaking, Isshiki interrupted me first, and pulled my cuff, and the green light of traffic was also turned on at the same time, and then she was half-pushed and half-pushed to my original destination.

However, ramen is not suitable... So, when choosing a place to eat, I made some changes, walked more than ten meters, and came to the family restaurant next door.

There are not many people during this time period, but there are not many people. After all, it is meal time, probably because of the influence of the weather. I ordered some desserts according to my preference, and I ordered a curry rice for myself. For dinner, it is better to eat a little normal.Of course, I don't intend to impose my own ideas on Isshiki, so as for the sweets, as long as they don't exceed the amount she can finish, I can let her go.

The food was served very quickly, and we didn't have to wait long for everything to be served.

"Wow~ It's delicious just looking at it~"

Looking at the red bean cake in front of him, Isshiki's eyes glowed with golden light, indeed... it does look good from the outside.The pastries in this shop are very popular with JK in terms of taste and appearance...Although I have basically never been there, I can still hear a lot of news from Komachi.

"Ah. Uh...um~~"

Isshiki used a small spoon to put a small piece of cake into his mouth, dragging his cheek with one hand and showing a happy expression

"Sure enough, things that come in vain are delicious~"

"Is that over there!?"

I couldn't help stopping the tableware in my hand and making complaints, this guy...

"Huh? Don't seniors think so?"

Isshiki looked at me and asked as a matter of course

"...At least I won't say it so directly."

If you want to eat free food... of course you are very welcome, it is best to eat it for the rest of your life... But, well... how should I put it... really She deserves to be able to speak out so unabashedly in front of me, the person who treats me.

"Hmm... um~ right? Senior thinks so too, doesn't it?"

Isshiki said that while putting the cake in his mouth, what a troublesome junior.After silently sighing in my heart, looking at her happy face helplessly, I can only speak in a tone that matches my mood.

"Only this once... just go back honestly after eating."

"Yeah, thank you~ Senior."

Although Isshiki agreed without hesitation, but... it is doubtful whether this guy really listened to what I said.

However, compared to what will happen afterwards, the curry rice in front of me is the most important thing, so I stopped thinking about it, shook my head to get those distracting thoughts out of my mind, and started my dinner today.

----------------------------------------------

The after-dinner drink is a complimentary coffee with milk. Now the store is running a promotion. It seems that if you eat in the evening, you can get a coffee with milk for free.Well, relatively speaking, I don't like the taste of coffee very much, because that part of the bitterness will make people connect with real life... But since it is free, most people can still accept it happily.

That being said, that's just the majority of people... Other than that, a very small number of people will also be dissatisfied with this kind of free gift... such as sitting on my Opposite this lovely girl.

Staring at the gift in front of him with a dissatisfied expression, he fell into strange contemplation. It has become like this since he took a light sip through the straw.Speaking of which... this guy doesn't seem to like bitter things either, does he?Although this is not very bitter, and considering that the taste of the public contains a lot of sugar in addition to milk, the taste... If you are not really sensitive to bitterness, you can accept it.However, it seems that the guy opposite me is probably the kind of person who is very sensitive to bitter taste.

As I was thinking this way, I noticed the sight floating from the opposite side, and when I looked towards it, I happened to meet Isshiki's sight in the air.

This guy...he must be thinking of some crazy idea again...I can't help but feel a bad worry in my heart, after all, Isshiki gives people this kind of feeling.

"senior......"

Sure enough, Isshiki pursed his lips slightly and called me softly.

"What, what?"

After I carefully put down the cup in my hand, Isshiki showed a pitiful look and expression

"I can't finish it...it's so bitter."

"If you don't like it, don't ask for it in the first place! It's not bitter at all."

"But I feel very bitter! And since it's a gift, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Even if there is a little regret in his pity, he still carries out the style of being greedy for petty gain without flinching in his mouth and behavior... Xiao Yishi.

"Even if you say it's a pity...I won't have any resonance."

My gift has all been wiped out, and hers... is still basically full, but since I can't drink it, there is nothing I can do.

"Okay, since you don't want to drink, let's go?"

"Eh? Isn't this a waste?"

Isshiki held the cup with both hands, and seemed a bit reluctant.

"Are you going to finish it?"

"how is this possible!"

He simply shook his head in denial, as expected of her.

"Take it away?"

"Why don't you have the nerve to take the gift out!"

"so?"

Hearing my question, Isshiki clapped his hands in front of his face with a happy face, and then looked at me with a smile

"Hey, so~ I'm begging you, senior~"

As I spoke, I quickly swapped the empty cup in front of me with her original cup.

"I will cheer for the seniors."

"You guy..."

"Waste is forbidden, right?"

"It should be me who said that."

I looked at her helplessly, then looked down at the cup in front of me... this. Then I sighed softly, and turned my gaze to the waiter behind Isshiki who was cleaning up the next table.

----------------------------

When I came out of the restaurant, I had something extra in my hand——Isshiki’s unfinished coffee with milk in a food bag, and Isshiki himself, for some reason, turned his head on the other side with a little anger, his hands A little unnaturally on the back.

"Hey, there's no need to be so angry, right? I'm the one who packed it up and took it away."

"..."

I didn't get any response, and I didn't know what she was thinking at all. I could only walk forward slowly step by step in line with her steps.

The destination is unknown, and the next destination is unknown.However, this silence didn't last long. Ten seconds later, Isshiki squinted at me with an expression of obvious dissatisfaction.

"Senior idiot..."

"Aha?"

"Why did you pack it up and bring it out?!"

"If you can find the reason from yourself, I would really appreciate it."

How should I put it... At some point, I really can't understand what is going on in that little head. If it is a girl's privilege to treat unreasonable behavior, then she is probably exercising power Bar.

"Senior idiot."

Isshiki repeated it in a clearer and more affirmative tone.

"So it's impossible..."

In this regard, I have nothing but helplessness.After shaking his head slightly, he took a deep breath, carefully looked at Isshiki who was not in a good mood, he seemed to be calmer now.

"I said... it's time to go home, now."

The time has come to nine o'clock without knowing it. For a girl of her current age, it should be best to be at home.

"I don't want to go back."

What I got was still this answer full of anger.

"I'll take you back."

"So let's say I..."

"Isshiki."

I forcibly interrupted Isshiki's words, and my tone became a little more serious. Perhaps it was because of this sudden change that she couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then calmed down despite some reluctance.

"If it's with the family's permission, then I won't meddle in other people's business...or would it be better for the police to send you back?"

Isshiki looked at me blankly, as if a little unbelievable.Well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to do that... But I can't just leave her and go back alone.Then I'd be burdened with guilt that doesn't exist...

After a short while of silence, she seemed to have made a choice.

The face full of dissatisfaction and the small pouting mouth are silently protesting to me, but they still point out the direction honestly

"This way."

Following the direction she pointed, I naturally took steps, and she silently followed.

"Senior will definitely become an uncle like Mama-san in the future..."

"Is that so...sorry"

"Although the person is very nice, it is too annoying."

"That's right."

This is the first time I heard Isshiki make an evaluation of me, although it is not a very high evaluation... But overall it is not bad, so I smiled unconsciously, this guy said There are also cute moments.

At this time, Isshiki suddenly raised his head and looked at me obliquely, and said in an irrefutable tone

"So, as compensation, before going back, senior must accompany me to a place."

"...where to?"

"Anyway, it's on the way, just a few minutes."

If it's on the way...it shouldn't be a problem, thinking so, I nodded to her

"Is there anything else? This time."

"You'll know when you go."

It seemed that he didn't intend to tell me directly, and I didn't continue to ask, anyway, I would get there anyway.

------------------------------------------------

Passing through the busy streets, pedestrians and lights gradually became rare, and the surrounding environment became quiet. Because it was the end of winter, or it had always been like this, I followed Isshiki to a place where I seldom set foot.

Although this place also belongs to Chiba and is one of the places I am familiar with, compared to other places, this place can already be regarded as an unfamiliar environment, at least judging from the number of times I have been there.It is two opposite directions from where my home is located.Maybe because I seldom set foot on it, when walking on this quiet and dark street, the faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart is always lingering.

Isshiki never said a word, and walked slowly forward step by step beside me, without stopping—or turning around.
