Chapter Nine
A Pretty Serious Suggestion
Chiaki and Hinami invited Asahi to have dinner with them after the sports festival had ended. In reality, it was more akin to a pity party for all of the losers. Asahi already had prior arrangements for that night, however, so he politely declinedâafter all, why would he wallow in his own misery at a consolation party when he could celebrate with the winner instead?
He didnât have to wait long before the guest of honor arrived at his apartment.
âIt smells fantastic,â she said. The pure delight on her face was obvious as she took in the spread on the table. Adorning it was her favorite dishâomelet rice, perfectly cooked and shimmering in all its golden splendor. âIs this actually for me? This isnât some kind of prank of yours?â
âYou bet. I did say Iâd treat you properly if you won, remember?â Asahi replied.
âThen letâs get to eating.â
âMhmm. I hope you like it. It's freshly made omelet rice. Only the best for Miss MVP herself.â
âW-Would you mind not calling me that?â Fuyuka stuttered while blushing. Although she made an attempt to maintain her trademark, dignified âIce Queenâ demeanor, she faltered under such praise.
âBut seriously, you were phenomenal back there,â he remarked as he recalled the second half of the match. It had been a heated gameâFuyuka had managed to score five triples despite the consistent intense pressure put on her from the opposing team. Asahi couldnât help but chuckle to himself when he recalled Chiaki cheering for his girlfriend like there was no tomorrow. Meanwhile, right beside him, Asahi had wished for the complete opposite.
With Fuyuka leading the roster, her class had been able to turn the tables and made triumphant a comeback befitting of the last game of the tournament.
I feel a bit sorry for what I did to Hinami... but it is what it is, Asahi thought to himself. Although he was relieved Hinami hadnât won the brooch, he didnât exactly feel good about the situationâsheâd given it her all on his behalf, after all.
Fuyuka took a bite of the food. âItâs... Itâs truly delicious,â she praised his cooking with a smile on her face. Given her stoic nature, Asahi appreciated each rare smile she gave more than anything else.
âGlad you like it. Makes it worth the effort.â
Fuyukaâs expression gradually softened the more she continued to eat. This side of her was just as charming and innocent as her typical distant and elegant side.
Sheâs letting her guard down around me, even if itâs a little bit, he thought to himself. To have âThe Ice Queenâ so much as grin was absolutely unthinkable for his classmates, much less engage in normal conversation. Despite her best efforts to construct a frozen wall around herself, however, her stand-offish nature only made her more appealing to her classmates. They were enraptured by her and every little thing she did.
âDamn, youâre really digging in, huh? Want seconds?â he asked as she eagerly scarfed down her meal.
âDo I look like a glutton to you?â
âNah, thatâs not what I meant.
