"Alright, you head back first. I'm going to buy some things."
Alistair waved Anna Komiya off and headed towards the snack shops.
It was 10:30 PM, the time when nightclubs were in full swing, but it was closing time for normal food and snack shops.
Ding-a-ling!
"Welcome! What can I get for you?" The woman behind the counter asked Alistair kindly.
"I'll take a glass of juice, a serving of Ichigo Daifuku (strawberry mochi), and two of your signature cakes. Please pack the cakes to go." Alistair glanced through the order book, flipped through it casually, and decided on some popular items.
"Certainly, please wait a moment."
"Hah~"
Alistair yawned and glanced around. It was late, and there weren't many people left in the shop. Alistair only saw one girl with long blue hair tied in twin tails, wearing a blue dress.
The blue-haired girl had her back to Alistair, so he couldn't see her face, but she seemed quite energetic. Alistair had heard her excitedly calling out several times already.
She was holding her phone and occasionally taking a selfie. Looking at how she adjusted the angle, she even included the table in the shot. Maybe she's showing off? She was also wearing white gloves. Is she a fussy person?
"Here are your juice and Ichigo Daifuku. Please wait a little longer for the cakes; I'm packing them up for you." The woman brought over Alistair's order, then turned and went into the back room to fetch boxes and bags for the packaging.
"Oh? Is there anyone else here at this hour?"
The blue-haired girl turned her head, saw Alistair who had just sat down and was about to start eating, then focused on the price list he was still flipping through. Her eyes lit up, and she excitedly rushed over and sat down opposite Alistair.
Alistair heard the sound and looked at the blue-haired girl who had just sat down. He didn't notice her face first, but his eyes were immediately drawn to the two enormous masses, like small cantaloupes.
Holy shit, what did she eat growing up? The question popped into Alistair's mind.
The girl in front of him was perhaps only 5'1" or 5'2" tall, but when she sat down, the two cantaloupes resting on the table were huge. Alistair compared them to his plate, which held four Ichigo Daifuku. The plate probably couldn't fit even one of those.
Small body, enormous energy (tits)?
"Can I help you?" Alistair asked the blue-haired girl. He truly didn't know what this energetic blue-haired girl wanted. Her sudden approach caught Alistair off guard.
"No, no, no, I just wanted to ask what you think of the taste after you eat this! I absolutely love this!" The blue-haired girl replied with an energetic smile.
Seriously? What does my opinion have to do with you?
Alistair was baffled. Did I run into an idiot?
As the saying goes, fucking someone with an intellectual disability is illegal. Alistair had some thoughts about her initially, but now he immediately dismissed them.
Alistair ignored her, picked up an Ichigo Daifuku, and popped it into his mouth.
The Ichigo Daifuku had a layer of mochi skin on the outside, and the filling inside was sweet red bean paste and a strawberry. The chilled mochi skin wasn't tough; it was pleasantly chewy. The sweet red bean paste paired with the slightly sweet-and-sour strawberry created an excellent flavor that Alistair quite liked.
"Tastes good," Alistair muttered.
"Right? The Ichigo Daifuku here is the absolute best on this street!" The blue-haired girl suddenly stood up excitedly, her eyes gleaming, and operated her phone briefly.
"...Calm down, calm down..." Alistair, whose table was jolted by the blue-haired girl's sudden stand, quickly told her. However, seeing her behavior, Alistair suspected she might be someone who enjoys exploring food spots.
"Your signature cakes." At that moment, the woman placed the two packaged signature cakes in front of Alistair.
"You also ordered the signature cakes? Why take them home when you can eat them here? I just ate three servings of this cake! It's an absolute delicacy!" The blue-haired girl enthusiastically slapped the table. With her movement, the two small cantaloupes kept swaying, captivating Alistair's attention.
Following the principle of universal boob attraction—the famous saying that a boob that isn't massive can't capture the heart—Alistair's gaze and heart were firmly glued to the blue-haired girl's two swaying small cantaloupes.
"I'm taking these back for my sister and my girlfriend. I feel neutral about sweets—I don't hate them, but I don't particularly love them either." Alistair answered calmly. He brought the items mainly for Chiaki and Mina Morita at home. Alistair knew this shop was very famous in the area, but consequently, the prices were slightly higher.
"Is that so? That's a pity. I'm a loyal dessert person." The blue-haired girl said with a regretful expression.
"And speaking of that, you said you ate three servings just now?" Alistair picked up one of the cake boxes and checked the ingredients list, where the calorie count was listed.
1,500 calories.
...
Seeing Alistair's action, the blue-haired girl instantly froze. She had just boasted about eating three servings.
"Three servings, huh~ That's 4,500 calories~" Alistair said with a teasing smile.
"What... why is it so much..." The blue-haired girl instantly lost all energy, collapsing directly onto the table, using her two small cantaloupes as cushions, her chin resting on them, looking utterly defeated.
Slap!
"Ugh~ No! I can't keep getting fat like this! I need to diet!" The blue-haired girl suddenly slapped the table again, shouting enthusiastically.
Alistair picked up the Ichigo Daifuku that had been jolted onto the table by the girl's action, blew on it, and ate it.
"Why are you always so dramatic?" Alistair asked while chewing the Ichigo Daifuku.
"Uh, am I? My father told me life should be exciting and passionate." The blue-haired girl told Alistair.
"Passionate... I don't think he meant this kind of passion," Alistair covered his face, not wanting to say too much.
"Right, I... I have a few more questions I wanted to ask." The blue-haired girl suddenly became shy.
"Ask away. What questions?" Alistair took a sip of juice. He didn't mind passing the time with this cantaloupe girl.
"Do you guys, men, generally dislike fat girls like me?" The blue-haired girl turned her face away, asking with some insecurity.
"...You call this fat?" Alistair raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I think I'm too fat..." Saying this, the blue-haired girl lifted the two small cantaloupes slightly.
This girl definitely has something wrong with her thought process.
"My boyfriend has been a bit cold lately. I was wondering if I should try going to a love hotel with him... but I'm afraid he'll be disgusted with me..." The blue-haired girl lowered her head, her voice sounding somewhat downcast.
Is this something you casually tell a stranger? Or is this just normal behavior in the world of ero-manga dimensions?
Alistair looked at the blue-haired girl's pair of small cantaloupes and smiled.
"Well then, do you need some guidance? My girlfriend and I have a very harmonious relationship. I think you definitely need some veteran guidance on male-female relations, don't you?"
