16 January 2018

Characters: Aoyama Itsuki & Hattori You.

Title: The jig is up? Or not?

-Cafe-

[Jingle Jingle]

Hattori: …… Oh, Aoyama-kun. Are you in the middle of lunch?

Aoyama: Yes, I was able to take my break a little early today.

Hattori: Since I’m already here, do you mind if I join you~?

Aoyama: No, that’s not a problem at all……

(Was this person always this friendly……?)

Hattori: Hmm. I wonder what I should get.

What do you recommend, Aoyama-kun?

Aoyama: I hear you can’t go wrong with today’s lunch special.

Hattori: What did you order?

Aoyama: I got the napolitana from the classic menu.

(I want to recreate the deep flavoring in this dish, but……)

(I can’t seem to figure out that last deciding factor……)

Hattori: Goodness. Well then, I’ll have the same.

I may look like this, but I’m a growing boy and I'm extremely fond of delicious things.

Won’t you let me hear more of your recommendations, Aoyama-kun~?

Aoyama: No, it’s not like I know a lot about that stuff……

Hattori: Is that so? You gave off that feeling though. Like with the hinai chicken and egg rice bowl.

Aoyama: ……!?

(That’s the original recipe that I just uploaded onto my food blog last weekend……)

Hattori: Or the fluffy omelette with three types of mushrooms in it……

Aoyama: …………

(I’m pretty sure that the omelette was something that took me three hours to come up with during my holiday weeks ago……)

Hattori: Or the bamboo shoot and sakura shrimp seasoned rice.

Aoyama: ……

(That one was something I made last month and was proud of.)

(I had a tough time or so with the ratio of bamboo shoots back then……)

Hattori: Hmm? What’s wrong? You’re deep in thought.

Aoyama: ……! N-No, after hearing those dishes, I was just thinking that they sound delicious.

Hattori: Goodness. Really now?

Well, if you don’t know either then I’ll search it up on the blog that I discovered the other day.

Aoyama: ……!?

(This person…… Has he…… caught onto me……?)

In the end, he couldn’t make head nor tails of the intentions coming from the demon lord sitting right in front of him.

And so, the ace of the NCD was unable to taste his lunch on this very day.
