Chapter Thirty-ninth Sister, an existence beyond lovers!
"Mei Yi? Did you win the lottery?"
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
Izumi Toru pointed to the BBQ restaurant in front of him and said, "It costs close to 3,000 yen for a single person, right?"
"Don't worry, the money my mother sent me last month is still quite abundant, it's completely enough."
"What about Narumi? Is he coming too?"
Amakusa Meiyi frowned and said, "He doesn't like barbecue!"
"Huh? What he likes to eat most is meat..."
Izumi Toru's voice became smaller and smaller, because the girl in front of him was staring at him expressionlessly.
"I remembered wrongly, Narumi doesn't like eating barbecue at all."
Amakusa Meiyi said "Hmm" and said, "Come in."
Walking into the restaurant and looking at the wagyu short ribs served by the waiter, Izumi Toru suddenly felt a strong hunger.
It must be because the snowflake texture on it is so beautiful.
"Hey, why didn't you ask me how my grades were?" Amakusa Meiyi asked as she turned over the barbecue.
"I've been waiting for Mei to share the joy with me."
The girl moved her hands.
"So, why don't you tell me yet?"
"Three, three hundred and nineteen."
Izumi Tetsu opened his mouth in surprise.
It's not because the ranking is too low, it's because the ranking is too high.
There are very few special admissions students from the athletic department in Purple Sakura Academy who can pass the exams above 350, let alone 320.
Her previous ranking was 385th.
His shocked eyes made Amakusa Mei feel itchy all over.
"Why, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Mei, you are really amazing." Izumi Toru admired sincerely.
"Hey!" In order to hide her shyness, the girl hurriedly put the roast beef on his plate. "The meat is ready, eat it!"
The tip of his nose smelled the aroma of meat, and Izumi Toru swallowed hard.
"I'm welcome."
Dip in the dipping sauce and stuff the barbecue into it.
The oil, the aroma of the dipping sauce, and the elasticity of the meat burst out instantly.
…
"Although, I didn't originally want you to help me. But...it is indeed because of you that I did so well in the exam this time. So, um...thank you..."
After saying the last "Thank you", the girl felt very embarrassed and turned her head away.
"Say, thank you, I'm very happy to help Mei Yi..." Izumi Toru raised his head and said inarticulately.
His cheeks were beating constantly.
Seeing him eating meat, Amakusa Mei could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Really like a child.
Then she took out her napkin and stood up.
"do not move."
As she spoke, the girl stretched out her hand and wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth.
"Okay."
"oh."
After Amakusa Meiyi sat down, she was happy for two seconds and then suddenly froze.
What did I just do?
He raised his head stiffly. Opposite him, Izumi Toru was engrossed in eating the barbecue on his plate, as if he didn't care about what just happened.
"Um, I, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Uh-huh!"
As if she had been granted amnesty, Amakusa Mei ran to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed her hot cheeks desperately.
I'm going to die ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Isn’t that kind of thing only a girlfriend can do?
Why did you act subconsciously?
What have I done!
Too much, too much! That guy! Too much!
Izumi Tetsu was a little surprised that he could eat so much.
On weekdays, you should be full already.
But today, I still feel like I can continue eating.
Could it be that it’s been too long since I’ve eaten high-quality beef?
After sorting out her mood, Amakusa Meiyi finally came back.
As soon as she sat down, Izumi Toru's teasing words made her shame that had just subsided rise again.
"Meiyi, if you just help me grill the meat, I'd be very grateful. I can wipe my mouth myself."
Amakusa Meiyi became angry and kicked him hard.
"go to hell!"
"it hurts!"
The way Izumi Tetsu grinned made the girl feel a little softer.
"Hmph! If you talk nonsense again, I will still beat you!"
"I, I understand."
After a while, she still couldn't hold it back and asked: "Is it really painful?"
Izumi Toru pointed to the tears that were shining because his tongue was burned and said: "Look, the tears of pain are all coming out."
"Hug, I'm sorry. I usually beat my brother with this force..."
"I'm not your brother, so I don't have the ability to withstand beatings."
"Hug, sorry..."
"However, I have always envied Narumi."
"Huh? What is there about him that you can envy? He's just an idiot."
Izumi Tetsu didn't answer the question. Amakusa Mei didn't ask further questions and continued to turn over the grilled meat.
This guy seems to have a good appetite today.
After a while, Izumi Toru suddenly said: "Mei, can you be my sister?"
Amakusa Meiyi's hand suddenly trembled.
"Why... why are you saying this suddenly..."
Amakusa Mei asked this question in as calm a tone as possible.
But she didn't notice that her voice was already trembling.
"I have always envied Narumi for having a younger sister who could act like a spoiled brat. When I was in junior high school, I was always chasing after you, saying that I wanted you to be my younger sister. Do you remember?"
"Remember, how could I not remember? Even though I said I hate you, you still follow my brother to my house and always say things that make me angry. I beat you but I'm afraid of hurting you. You are a nuisance!
"
Amakusa Meiyi smiled and talked about junior high school, but the hands hidden under the table were clenched tightly as if they were suppressing something.
Just a sister?
Izumi Toru put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Actually, I want you to be my sister because I have selfish motives."
"Selfish?"
"Yeah. Because I think Mei is cute, super cute!"
"ha?!"
The girl's voice rose several degrees uncontrollably. Fortunately, there were not many people in the restaurant, so she didn't attract any attention.
"Because you are so cute, I was thinking: It would be great if you could be my sister."
Amakusa Meiyi looked at him with a serious face, but couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
Are you happy? Yes.
Are you angry? Yes.
She doesn't even understand what state she is in now.
However, her mood calmed down.
"Then, why does it have to be my sister?"
"Because, a sister exists beyond a lover!"
The girl was shocked inside.
Super, beyond lovers?!
"My sister makes her brother feel cute all the time! Whatever my sister does can be forgiven! Only my sister will never leave her brother! Compared with lovers, the love between lovers will weaken and break, only the emotion between brother and sister
As always! Mei is so cute, as long as I can become my sister, I can always appreciate this cuteness! This is something only a sister can do!"
Amakusa Meiyi looked at Izumi Tetsu who made such bold words and was speechless for a moment.
After a moment, she sighed.
"Fortunately you don't have a sister."
"Uh!" Izumi Toru covered his chest with a painful expression, "Why did you insert a knife in my chest?"
"Eat quickly." Amakusa Meiyi put the roasted and slightly charred meat on his plate.
[Amakusa Mei is in a very happy mood at the moment]
"It's all roasted black..." Izumi Tetsu muttered.
The girl's eyebrows rose.
"Then will you eat?"
"Eat, eat!"
While Izumi Toru was immersed in eating, he was stunned by an erratic shout.
"elder brother."
Raising her head, the girl's fair face was gradually covered with scarlet clouds.
