This guy, He’s Good

This man, he’s a good guy

“—Oh—so the others finally found out that Seiya is modeling?”

“…….ha?”

Eh? I don’t remember telling Masato though……

“I mean, I thought that everyone would find out sooner or later you see. You are not exactly good at keeping secrets after all. Still, this is faster than I expected!”

“…….Not exactly good?”

“More like, were you really trying to hide that? You are full of openings you know.”

“…..eh? I thought that I did a good job so far though…….seriously?”

“In my case, I feel a little bad for finding out the way I did though.”

“…..how did you notice, Shiraki-kun? Reika seems to have noticed from his voice and bags though.”

Hearing Ichinose-san’s question, Masato scratches his head.

“When Seiya cooked ginger pork for me at his place, I accidentally saw messages from [Ishizu Suzuka] and [Manager] on his phone. And since I’m already familiar with the name Ishizu Suzuka………”

“……but you didn’t say anything after that…..”

“You wanted to hide it right? That’s why I thought that I should wait for you to tell me yourself.”

“……what’s this…….when did you become such a good guy……”

Masato’s response was very Ikemen-like. To be honest, I thought that he would just tease me about it. 

Perhaps that thought was visible on my face, Masato is now grinning at me.

“Oi? You didn’t think I’m one already?”

“Well, to be honest, I thought that you would spread it immediately if you found out.”

“Seriously…..!”

“I also thought that Shiraki-kun is the type that can’t keep a secret! But you are surprisingly good!”

“You too, Ichinose-san!”

“ “  Ahahahahaha! “ “

Just like when she first met Misaki earlier, Masato now looked very fun to tease. Perhaps he noticed that too, he’s now fully playing the straight man.

“Onii-chan, I’m back!”

“Uwah, you surprised me…..it’s just you huh, Misaki.”

I jumped when someone put their hand on my shoulder but it was Misaki’s voice from behind me. It seems that thanks to my earlier message, she managed to find us.

When I turned around, Eihashi-san was also there.

“You two are back…..huh…..?”

“What’s wrong, Onii-chan?”

“No, it seems that you really enjoyed yourself huh…..”

Looking at Misaki, I can see her wearing the classic festival mask on her head and hands held a bag filled with prizes that she probably got from the shooting stalls

Eihashi-san also has a bag filled with grilled chicken in her hands. The exact opposite of what Misaki has in hers.

While giving me a slightly bitter smile, Eihashi-san lightly bowed to me. I thought that it was Misaki who played around at first but it seems that they are probably both guilty here.

When she’s with me always has me carry her luggage but she doesn’t do that when she’s with someone else. Rather, she would take the initiative to offer her help.

“Since I suddenly went off on my own, I bought everyone grilled chicken as an apology. Let’s eat them together.”

“Oh! That’s nice, Reika! I also bought a lot of yakisobas so let’s eat!”

“Great! Ah, Seiya-imouto, here, your cotton candy.”

Saying so, Masato quickly took out the cotton candy from his bag. Since that cotton candy was packaged it should cost around 500 yen each.

I don’t know when he bought it but it was probably when he bought his fried chicken.

Seeing that, Misaki immediately got excited.

“OOH! You really bought me one!?”

“Of course! I’ve never broken my promise after all!”

“I, I’m going to eat it you know!? I won’t give it back you know!?”

“Yeah, go ahead. Unfortunately;y, I don’t really enjoy cotton candy since they are a little too sticky for me. Rather, I would be troubled instead if you don’t take it off my hands.”

“Thank you very much!…….I will specially allow Masato-san to call my name now.”

I just noticed it now but it seems that Masato was honoring their earlier conversation.

This guy is unexpectedly the type that values promises even more than I do huh.

“Alright! Let’s eat too! I will give you all a yakisoba each okay!”

“Yes, the grilled chicken should be eaten when it’s still warm after all……here, Hiura-kun.”

“Oh? Eihashi-san, thank you.”

I did not take the grilled chicken from Eihashi-san’s hand. Instead, I directly ate it when she’s holding the stick out for me.

Thinking about it now, it seems that she was trying to offer me the stick but for some reason, I just decided to eat it straight from her hand.

“Eh? Eh? EHHH!?”

“S, Sorry! I thought that you wanted me to eat it immediately so I misunderstood!”

“Is, Is, Is that so! Th, that surprised me……”

Saying so, I practically snatched a stick of the grilled chicken out of Eihashi-san’s hand.

“Onii-chan…..”

“Hiura-kun……”

“Seiya…….”

Everyone is staring at me but it was indeed my fault. I will have to endure this. I don’t know why I did that earlier but it was 100 percent my fault.

“C, Can I have some fried chicken!”

“Y, yeah! Do you want my kebab too!? It’s spicy though!”

“I can’t handle the extra spicy ones so…”

“G, Got it! Then what about—-”

“—-Eh? Is that Seiya over there?”
