CH 27

We won big at the boat race.

About 800,000 yen, and my hands were shaking. However, it was Lida’s grandma who actually won. She gave us 300,000 yen each as pocket money. That’s a lot of money, and I was scared that someone might try to steal it. Incidentally, the remaining 100,000 yen each went into Grandma and Grandpa’s pockets.

“And for now, we put 600,000 yen into an envelope! What’s with this stack of cash? That’s crazy!”

“Don’t lose it, Oojirou.”

“Oh. I’ll take care of it.”

We left the event and headed for the entrance, but on the way back a girl in a maid’s uniform was coming towards us. What is it, cosplay?

I took a closer look at her face.

“Huh …….”

I looked at her and she looked at me.

It’s a familiar face.

“Huh! Why are Oojirou-kun and Lida-chan at the boat race track?”

It was the head of the public discipline committee, Azusa Saotome. She was wearing a mini-skirt maid outfit. Or rather, a maid in a place like this would be too obvious.

“That’s my line, Saotome. What are you doing in a cosplay like that?”

“A part-time job at a store. It’s because I’m more attractive when I’m dressed like this.”

“You’ve been doing that kind of work? Even so, your skirt is too short.”

As I watched her closely, Lida covered my eyes with her hands.

” Don’t look.”

“… Oh, sorry.”

“The two of you are as close as a married couple. So, did Oojirou-kun and Lida-chan win any races today?”

“Oh, yeah, … about 800,000 yen. Actually, it was 600,000 yen.”

“Heh, … 800,000 yen!”

Hearing the astonishing amount of money, Saotome began to tremble. Yeah, it’s not normal for a student to have this kind of money. I guess you have to get a part-time job cleaning corpses to get this kind of money. But then again, washing corpses is an urban legend.

” We were just predicting, but in the end, we won.”

“Wow! Oojirou-kun is awesome. …… Wow, I want to be a part of this. Oojirou-kun, sign me up as your mistress!”

“Boo! Idiot, don’t yell “mistress” here.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m just kidding! Well, I’m going to go change, so I’ll see you next week~”

Saotome waves cheerfully as she goes. –What a joke, huh? It was strange to hear that from Saotome in a maid’s uniform, because it sounded just right.

“Should we go home too?”

“Yes. But you can’t take a mistress.”

“I know, I know.”

We went to the “Eel Restaurant” in front of Arai Station.

With the money we won, we decided to treat ourselves to a little luxury.

We quickly ordered our food and it arrived at our table about 20 minutes later. The freshly prepared eel pile shone with a golden light. The sauce on the eel was fragrant and looked delicious.

“This is the eel. It looks so delicious.”

“Yeah, it’s delicious. It’s absolutely delicious.”

“Let’s eat!”

I immediately took my chopsticks and carefully tasted the eel.

The crispy texture and the flavor of the secret sauce spread in my mouth. What an exquisite dish. It was so good that it brought tears to my eyes. It was the same for Lida. I guess it suits the Russian taste palates too.

“Delicious! I never knew eel could taste so good.”

She couldn’t stop eating.

Lida savored it elegantly, but was so captivated by the eel that she devoured the latter half. She finished the eel and put down her chopsticks, looking satisfied.

I followed suit and finished my meal.

The bill was 12,000 yen, but we still had plenty of money to spare. Eel is expensive, but it was delicious. I want to stop by again when we win.

After paying, we headed straight for Arai Station. It was getting dark.

On the way there, Lida pointed in a certain direction and said:

“Hey, Oojirou. Do you want to stop at that hotel?”

“That hotel?”

There was a hotel that looked like a castle, but had suspicious LED lights shining on it. –It’s a love hotel, huh?
