Chapter 13
I told you I'd be back the very next day with an update. Anyways, I forgot to do the disclaimer last time. Instead of me doing it, I'm going to have someone else do it. Let's see… Um…
Koromaru: Arf! Arf!
Me: Hey Koromaru, what's up?
Koromaru: Arf!
Me: What is it, boy?
Aigis: He said he wants to do the disclaimer.
Me: Go right ahead, little buddy
Koromaru: Arf! Arf!
Me: Good boy.
April 26 – morning – dorm
Nagito was sitting in his bed watching WWE Network on his phone until he heard a knock on his door. He opened it to find Mitsuru standing there.
"Good morning, Ishikawa." She greeted.
"Morning, senpai." He greeted back.
"Are you free today?" The redhead asked.
After she asked that, Nagito felt his heart race. Mitsuru-senpai wants to hang out with me today? He asked himself.
"I understand if you're busy. I'll leave you be." She said, sounding slightly disappointed.
"N-No, I'm free today. What do you want to do?" Nagito said, trying his hardest not to blush.
She started blushing with embarrassment. "W-Well, there's one place I always wanted to go."
April 26 – daytime – Hagakure ramen shop
"Psst… Ishikawa, what am I supposed to do know?" Mitsuru asked him while whispering.
"You've never ate ramen before?" He asked.
Mitsuru shook her head. "The the only times I've eaten out were at 5-star restaurants. They never had anything like this on their menus. What's the etiquette here?"
"You have to eat the noodles while they're still hot, otherwise, they won't taste as good." Nagito said.
"I-I see..." She stammered. "I'll try. I hope I don't burn my mouth." She blew on the noodles to cool it and put it in her mouth. After that she took another bite.
"How is it?" He asked.
"I thought it tasted strange at first, but when I tasted it again, I sensed sublime sophisticated flavor. It's quite delicious." She said.
"Glad you like it. When I was little, my parents and I would come here all time." Nagito smiled at the good memories.
"Excuse me, waiter. This dish is Ces' Manifique. Have you considered adding boullion?"
"Boullion? What the hell is that? Well, if you're asking what the secret ingredient is, I can't tell ya. It's been passed down from generations." The chef said.
"I think you would profit a lot more if you sold and mass produced the recipe." Mitsuru said.
"Uhh..." The chef then turned around to continue cooking all the other customers' orders.
"Thank you for taking the time to show me proper ramen etiquette." She said with a satisfied smile.
"N-No problem, senpai." Nagito said, nervously scratching his head while blushing.
"It's very rare I get free time. If I'm ever free again, will you show me more food etiquette?" She asked.
"O-Of course." He said. She wants to hang out with me more? Does this mean it was a date? Nagito said to himself, trying to calm down his pounding heart.
Time froze again.
Thou art I
And I am thou
Thou has strengthened thy bonds
Thou shall be blessed when creating Personas of the Empress arcana
After having ramen, they both went back to the dorm together.
April 26 – evening dorm
Nagito was heading back to his room until he saw Junpei sitting at the table in the 2nd floor hallway.
"Sup, dude?" Junpei said.
"Hey, Junpei."
"So, you and Mitsuru-senpai went on a date huh?" Junpei asked, sporting his trademark grin.
"H-How'd you know about that?" Nagito started blushing.
"When I opened my door this morning, I saw senpai walking to your room and overheard what you guys said."
Words couldn't describe how red Nagito's face was.
"You really like her, don't ya?" Junpei asked.
"A-Anyways, I gotta study. Seeya." Nagito immediately scoured to his room
