"Yuu kun's... Yuu kun."
"Calm down Chi chan. We're working and a lot of customers are too."
"Mouu, are you not willing to talk to me anymore Yuu kun?"
"Huh? Where might it be. After work I'll make sure you're drunk with my love for you."
"Okay, can you two disappear here? Really sucks to know."
As per the title of this chapter, they are really stupid couples. They even make out at work and become the center of attention.
"Oh Izumi, don't you know I can't live without Chi Chan?"
"What makes you alive is your parents are bego."
"Hahaha, as usual your tsukkomi is indeed interesting."
Yuuta Nifuji. She was my classmate from SD until now. He always sat next to me every year until people thought we were a male partner. Even at our workplace, he was still next to me as the second cashier.
"Izumi, don't you know nothing about fighting? That was Yuu kun fighting me. And whether you can be separated by Yuu kun, I envy seeing you guys together continuously as if bound by the thread of fate."
"If what you mean is the thread of bad luck, then I won't deny it."
Chisato Hana. She is Yuuta's girlfriend. Before he knew Yuuta, many had shot him in school. Because at that time, she was still acting cool, cool and beautiful. But after getting to know Yuuta, I can't even say a word with 180° changes.
As we joked, customers started to come and order. Time to work seriously.
"1 mcd medium burger, cola drink."
"good. Next."
"Package 1, cold soda drink."
"good. Next."
"2 mcd medium burger, 1 large french fries and..."
"And?"
"1 Izu kun's. Please pack."
I was surprised, the only person who called me like that was
"Wuahh, Haru chan. What are you doing here?"
"Just order food and recharge Izu kun."
What is Izu kun power? Are you a robot?
"Sorry Izu kun, I can't stand being home alone. So I decided to meet you here."
"OK okay. I don't mind Haru Chan, but can you move on right away? The queue's getting hot."
"O-oh, sorry. Then that's it."
Arriving, Yuuta cut us off.
"Ano, Akane San. Can you wait for Izumi to come home? I have something to talk to you both about."
"No problem, it was also my intention fufufu."
Haru Chan left the queue and sat down at one of the dining tables while looking at me.
*2 hours later
The store manager came to us.
"Good work, Yuuta kun, Izumi kun."
"Good work too Yumemiru san."
"There is no need to be formal. Hey Izu kun, you've been waiting for a long time." (Yumemiru)
"L-yes I understand." (Iw)
"Wait for Izumi, there's still something to talk about. Yumemiru san, sorry can we borrow a table there? Just for a second." (Yuta)
"Okay, don't be long the day's getting late." (Yumemiru)
Yumemiru san went to his office and I went to the table where Haru chan was waiting.
"Sorry to wait for Haru Chan. You must be bored."
"No, I'm glad to see Izu kun working hard like that. Looks cool. Good work, Izu kun."
"Thank you, please."
As we chatted, a foolish couple approached us.
"Well, so this is the surprise."
"Yes right? Unexpectedly, the snow princess could smile and laugh like that."
"Hey he's still human you know."
Chisato and Yuuta took another table chair and sat down at our table.
"Meet Haru Chan, they are a famous stupid couple in our school. To the man named Nifuji Yuuta and to the woman Hana Chisato."
"Hello Akane san." (Yuta)
"Greetings, Harumi chan." (Khiro)
"Heee, I thought Haru chan." (Khiro)
Can you not call him that? That's a special call I know.
"Just go ahead Akane san, what's your relationship with Izumi?"
"Eh Izu? Ah, we're tun----."
"Friends okay friend."
Sorry Haru chan, if you continue what you said just now maybe in school all the students will be my enemies.
"Chi chan, hold Izumi down."
"Ready."
Chisato instantly held both of my arms and dropped me. She is female but strong. So this is what's called a Gorilla woman.
"Please continue, Akane san."
"Alright, we're engaged."
Steady Haru chan, you just killed me indirectly.
"Iuzumi's... You're growing fast."
"Hey Chisato san, moved but your strength is getting stronger. My arm could break here."
"Ah yes, sorry. Tehee."
Chisato and I sat back down.
After hearing Haru chan's reply, Yuuta stared intently at me.
"Izumi, explain the chronology."
"Huh? Why should I..."
*Tek *Tek
The sound of Chisato's finger was clearly heard in my ear.
"Forget over. Akane san can you explain the chronology? How can you be Izumi's fiancee?"
I tried eye contact with Haru Chan, but he just tilted his head and showed a confused face.
Haru Chan finally told me all about yesterday's events.
"Izumi, you're really lucky."
"Whispering, now what information do you want to hear again about us?"
"Ah, have you guys already ****?"
"Huh? What kind of stupid question is that? Of course not yet."
"Heeee... Well for today it's just that. Let's go home."
We all finally went home.
"Nee Izu kun."
"What's Haru chan?"
"Tonight was pretty cold and I didn't wear gloves. Yeah-so..."
It's true that tonight was quite cold and she wasn't wearing cold either. But isn't this what's called a code for women.
"You-you mean?"
"Yes you don't seem to mind when Chisato Chan holds your arm just now."
No I'm not I don't mind. And it wasn't holding him twisting my arm you know.
"So, do you mind holding hands with me?"
How could anyone resist it, right? He even showed his sad face.
"Of course not. How could I refuse to hold hands with my own fiancee."
"Really?"
"I-yes, but I'm sorry if my hands are a little rough."
"Fufufu doesn't that describe your hard work?"
"Well, I won't deny it."
I stuck my hand between us and Haru Chan grabbed my palm.
"Izu kun's hand. Big and warm, I love it."
"Yes-yah, Haru chan's hand too. Tiny and soft, it makes me easy to grasp it. I-I like it too."
We went home holding hands along the way.
