Volume 7 - CH 3

“Wow, amazing…!　Which one should I choose?”

“Well, it’s a buffet…”

Yuzuru said this with a wry smile to Arisa, whose eyes lit up.

The day following their visit to the amusement park.

The breakfast that day was a buffet at the hotel.

The breakfast buffet offered by the hotel seemed to be just what you would imagine when you hear the words ‘hotel breakfast buffet’.

Yuzuru had the same sensibility to be excited about such ‘all-you-can-eat’ buffets at hotels, so it was not hard to understand how Arisa felt about it…

Even with that in mind, Arisa’s reaction seemed a bit excessive.

She was like an elementary school student.

The way Arisa was so openly excited was very funny and adorable.

“I haven’t seen this since I was little!”

Yuzuru, however, was a little distressed by Arisa’s words.

However, Arisa herself probably didn’t mean to make the atmosphere heavy.

As proof, she was wearing a pleasant smile on her face.

It would not be right for Yuzuru to have a quiet expression on his face here.

“Then, let’s go choose.”

“Yes!”

Yuzuru and Arisa took the plates in their hands and got in line.

The dishes ranged from Japanese, Western, and Chinese, with a variety of orthodox content.

(After all, if you are Japanese, you should eat Japanese food…)

White rice, miso soup, grilled fish, omelet, natto, and seaweed…

At first, Yuzuru thought of arranging them like that.

However, he changed his mind when he saw Arisa put sausages on her plate.

He suddenly had a craving for sausages.

(No, let’s have Western food.)

Yuzuru put the sausage on his plate.

Other items could be omelets, corn soup, and the like.

Yuzuru made such a plan, but…

When he saw Arisa put yakisoba on her plate, his heart moved again.

(Chinese food is also good… or rather, is Arisa planning to combine sausage and Chinese fried food.)

Come to think of it, there was no rule that said they had to be combined.

You could put whatever you like, whatever you want to eat, as much as you want.

“…right”

Yuzuru stopped thinking so hard and put a little bit of what he saw on his plate.

About an hour later.

“It hurts…”

“…we ate too much, didn’t we?”

Yuzuru and Arisa muttered dismayed as they sat on the bed.

They had eaten too much because it was all-you-can-eat and there was a wide variety of food.

“I should have stopped at the last dessert.”

“Personally, I think the noodles filled my stomach…”

Both of them reflected on their respective mistakes.

They decided that the next time they go to a buffet, they would try to limit their portions to about eighty percent of their stomach.

“When are we leaving?”

“We have some time before the park opens.”

Fortunately, by getting up early in the morning, they had plenty of time to spare.

They decided that it would be a bad idea to push themselves too hard and get sick, so they decided to wait until the food they had eaten had finished digesting.

They watched TV, played with their cell phones while lying down, read pamphlets… spending time doing as they pleased.

(Yeah, this is no different than what we do at home…)

Yuzuru started to feel that the time was a bit wasted and began to think of something fun to do.

He then turned his attention to Arisa, who was lying down next to him and reading a pamphlet.

Yuzuru reached out to touch Arisa’s stomach.

“…what is it?”

Arisa suddenly had a dubious look on her face as he patted her stomach.

Yuzuru, on the other hand, smiled as he stroked Arisa’s stomach.

“You’re so fluffy.”

“P-please stop…!”

When Arisa was teased about her bloated stomach due to overeating, she brushed Yuzuru’s hand away.

And then she glared at Yuzuru lightly.

“You don’t have to be that mad…”

“You have no delicacy. In the first place… you are in no place to tease others, Yuzuru-san.”

Arisa reached for Yuzuru’s stomach as she said this.

Yuzuru ate too much, and his stomach was a little swollen as well.

“To be honest, I’m a little sleepy…”

“…I certainly understand the feeling.”

Arisa nodded with a wry smile at Yuzuru’s words.

It was after breakfast, but more than that, it was difficult to say that she was tired because she did not sleep well last night. 

“Do you want to take a nap?”

“Hmm… No, let’s not. I probably won’t be able to get up.”

At Yuzuru’s suggestion, Arisa shook her head sharply.

“Staying in bed will make us even more sleepy. It’s a little early, but let’s leave.”

“…yes, exactly.”

It would be a waste to lose the amusement park play time because of sleeping a second time.

Before they could get any sleepier, they checked out of the hotel.
