Chapter 94 | Stepsister and Ramen Shop
Early February. Me and my stepsister Dahlia went to a Chinese restaurant in front of the station.
It was a small restaurant just a short walk from the cafe Arukuma.
The name of the restaurant is “Kinryu Hanten.”
We entered the restaurant. It was a small and cozy restaurant.
Me and Dahlia sit down at a table.
“I want to set A!”
A set of soy sauce ramen and gyoza.
“But I also want set B.”
Shio ramen and spring rolls.
“Dahlia orders set A and I order set B. Then we share the set. How about that?”
“!”
Dahlia rolls her eyes and then giggles.
“Yes, that’s great! You’re so smart, Onii-chan!”
“Thank you very much.”
The woman who brought the water was a woman with a slightly Chinese accent.
“What would you like?”
“One set A and one set B.
“A set A and a set B.”
The Chinese lady leaves.
Behind the counter, a quiet man nodded his head.
We waited for our food to arrive.
“Hey, hey, Onii-chan.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
Dahlia looked a little worried.
What is it?
“You didn’t have to ask Rika-tan out, did you? You seemed a little nervous.”
Oh, she’s worried that I didn’t ask Rika out.
My stepsister is really kind. She and Rika are good friends.
“I did ask her out, but she turned me down. But she turned me down.”
“What? What are you doing, Rika-tan, when your boyfriend is inviting you?”
Dahlia, who was angry at Rika, looked so childish and cute.
“No, no, no. Rika told me that I should go with Dahlia. She said you didn’t get to spend much time with me in Atami, and she thought you might be lonely.”
“Oh… I see.”
Dahlia, in a curt manner, picks up a cooking comic book from a nearby bookshelf.
Dahlia is flipping through it.
But I could see that her mouth was squishy and loose.
I guess she was happy to see Rika’s thoughtfulness. Also…was she embarrassed?
I could tell that she was feeling shy.
“Are you embarrassed?”
“No, I’m not.”
“I see.”
“Uhhh…”
Daria puts down her comic book and clears her throat.
“You know what?”
“N? What is it?”
Dahlia says, trying to divert the topic.
“What are you going to do about the revenge?”
…Yes?
“What, revenge…?”
Dahlia looks puzzled. Next, she sighs in disgust.
“Revenge on your classmates. You know, the one at Christmas.”
“????????”
“Don’t tell me you don’t seriously remember that? You know, the punishment game.”
Let’s see…
“I’m sorry, I seriously can’t remember…was there such a thing?”
Dahlia sighs deeply, as if giving up. Just then, a Chinese lady came in with an AB set.
“Hey…brother…you know. Have you forgotten how you came to have relations with Rika-tan?”
…
Ah, ah…!
“I remember now!”
“Finally… well, you were too happy, so you forgot.”
“Yes, I forgot it. I had already forgotten how hard it was.”
“That’s right…it’s a lot of things. Well, let’s talk about that after we eat some ramen.”
