"C' mon...Yaskawa-kun is waiting for us at the school's entrance the whole day and whole night you know. We shouldn't let him wait for us too long...so what do you want to have this time...? You want to try other flavours instead or have a double cone?"
"Double cone? What's that...? Yaskawa-kun does not have a double cone...It is not like the yatai or hand-drawn carriage a few streets away from where you could get 3 small scoops of ice cream on a 3 scoop biscuit wafer. It is for ¥500 for a single scoop or ¥800 for a triple scoop. I would like to have a Kakigori instead of only ¥800 each..."
(Writer's Note: Look up in Google and I think you can view how the 3 scoop ice cream cone looks like. As for Kakigori, it is like a Japanese version similar to Halo-Halo in the Philippines, Ice Kacang in Singapore or Malaysia or the Rainbow Shaved Ice Dessert from Thailand. By the way, I love to travel overseas and food hunt as well.
I went to Yaskawa-kun, inserted a ¥100 and asked Akira what was her first flavour was and she indicated that it would be jellied strawberry and I pressed the corresponding buttons and waited for the smiley robot in front to complete the process. Once complete, I handed the finished ice cream and I asked her what was her next flavour and she said was milky sweetcorn. Again I proceeded the whole process.
This time she looked in surprise and delight as I took the second come of ice cream and interjoined them together that it looked like having two comes at both ends! She asks me how to eat it as it looks kinda silly and exquisite at the same time, as one has to lick in the middle to get to the ice cream.
I made mine the same as hers and we walked a few paces, stopped and licked at the weird looking double sticking cones of ice cream while snickering and laughing at the same time. Dribbles of ice cream fell on Akira's nose and I took the opportunity to 'kiss' her nose and 'suck' at the ice cream.
That's the whole idea folks...eat silly and make fun and take advantage at the same time.

Seeing her ice cream had somewhat depleted I took off the top cone and inserted at the bottom cone so she should have a mixture of gooey and runny ice cream at the top and two comes to munch at the bottom. Same goes to mine as well.
"Want to get some barbeque skewered meat after this...? We could go to Toriki Zoku's; an inexpensive Kakigori restaurant just 200 meters away from Ozone Station..."
Akira nodded as her mouth was smothered with the ice cream of different colours and flavours and I wanted to kiss and lick her face like a small happy puppy. Instead, she took the tissue I handed her and she quickly cleaned her face in embarrassment.
I did voice my thoughts to her about kissing and licking her face and she blushed beet red after hearing those. I leaned over and kissed the side of her mouth and said she missed a spot. This made her face extremely red with me taking a chance of the moment.
Well, a man got to do what a man got to do right? Produce an opportunity even for the silliest reasons.
We had finished already with the ice cream in case anyone was thinking about it and mentioning it in the comments section below. I took Akira's and in my right and held it tight. Cars honked at us as the drivers drove past.
"Earlier... You told me that I could you call you Kagome instead of Akira, right? Do you realise that me doing so would make me feel like I am cheating myself and thus cheating you at the same time? It's like I would be living a pretentious life with you... *ahem* being you beside me... *ahem* that's not what I meant..."
I flustered at the wrong choice of words that could make one confused and misunderstand the last part of the sentence.
"To you, it may seem alright, but don't you think that it would hurt both of us...? It could be a good intention at first look, but..."
I let the sentence hang in mid-air as I glanced over and look at Akira. She was looking and listened intently at me half expecting that I would burst into uncontrollable tears again.
"If you really missed Kagome so much, I am sure your late cousin wouldn't mind you calling her name instead of mine whenever you wanted to address me...I am sure that it would mean a whole lot for you and your cousin to call me Kagome instead..."
I really didn't know what to say, it is as if Akira had matured suddenly and fully understood the turmoil of emotions deep in my heart. Maybe because of the paperback novel that she religiously carries inside her school bag and reads them whenever there is a chance to do.
Is the romance paperback novel entitled "I will wait for you on the other side" so powerful that it could move the person reading it to suddenly change her perspective of me; a man who was thought to not shed tears or emotions easily in front of the opposite sex and suddenly poured like the falling rain especially in public. I deeply pondered...
"Let's talk about it next time OK... Calling you other than your own name is like a kind of betrayal act between the couple... Plus another few things et etcetera in the process... Nah, I still will call you Akira... For a name so beautiful that can only be befitting yourself, oh bright and intelligent Akira-sama"
I added a flattery note at the end of the sentence and suddenly the grip on my hand got tighter and as Akira's bubble gum coloured lips curled into a smile with twinkles in her eyes
We walked hand in hand under the overpass of Ozone Station and walked further up to where Toriki Zoku restaurant was situated. I caught a glimpse of a shop that I wanted to venture in.
It is GEO's; a used game shop that had a 24 hours sign at the front but is only open till 9 pm in the evening. There's a cafe that served decent food and drinks and it's a happening hip place for urban kids to hang out and buy or trade used DVD, anime and manga magazines or just to hang out for non-alcoholic drinks and fun eats.
I guess the sign '24 hours' was for it to be displayed 24 hours a day at the front of the shop; doesn't mean the shop would be opened 24 hours right?
We sauntered our way inside the Yakitori restaurant and a male concierge led us to a table for two. The smell of Barbequed chicken and meat wafted to our nostrils that made us salivate by just the wondrous smell of roasted skewered meat.
The Barbequed meat and chicken were properly marinated and the quality of spices along with the sizzling sounds of mouthwatering and tantalising tender meats, roasted to medium rare perfection. The moment the skewered meat was placed on glowing embers, the sizzle and the smoke emitting from the dripping fats mixed with their spices would entice you to buy one after another and its a joy of eating these type of comfort food.
A guide to eating meats especially Matsusaka, Harami or Wagyu beef. Never cook them well done in your homes and chefs throughout Japan will serve medium rare even if you do not ask for it. It is just like a slap in the chef's face if you ask for well done.
Tell me, would you ever going to eat roasted, skewered hard pieces of meat, with burnt edges and tasted like you were eating a stick of ZOMBIE meat OR a juicy, tantalising, mouth-watering medium rare roasted skewered meat that simply out of this world and melts in your mouth...?
For a normal patron, it would cost ¥100-¥200 per set of 2 sticks of their own choice of skewered Barbeque meats. However, for students in school uniform, it would only cost ¥80-¥150 per set. I guess adult cosplayers wearing school uniform entitles them to get student discounts as well...hehehe. Banzai...! Banzai...! Banzai...! Eat to your fill, Doshi-san...!!! *Chomp* *Chomp* *Chomp*
