NOVEL NEXT Chapter 36.2
Tears
I had kind of a great day yesterday.
"I confessed my feelings to a woman whose eyes were swollen with anger and sadness.", and then lent my back to another crying woman.
After that, I went out for dinner and received messages from them at about the same time.
Serai-san said, "Older men are so different! I will call you Master from now on! I gave Ruu your contact information, so please take care of Ruu.", the message was both Serai-san's usual tone and friendliness.
From Katsuhina-san, "I am sorry for all the trouble I have caused you. I was very happy when the coach confessed to me. Please go out with me if you like.", It was a letter of apology, gratitude, and a request for a relationship.
I read the letter at a barbecue restaurant near my house, where I grilled meats, and drank beers.
Yesterday, I wanted to cheer myself up, so I said, "Well, I guess I'll go out for yakiniku today!" I went to a yakiniku restaurant. Maybe I also wanted to vent a little.
So, I ordered the special roasts and ribs, which I usually don't order from the start. The grilled meat was so delicious that it made my tongue wrap around and say, "This is the best meat I've ever tasted!" The sweetness, spiciness of the sauce, and deliciousness of the meat melted in my mouth, and when my tongue was about to be seduced, I gobbled up the white rice. Then, I downed it all with a glass of draft beer. Delicious! So delicious!
That's how I ended up at a yakiniku restaurant two days in a row. Uha, what luxury.
At the beginning of the meal, I attacked boldly with extra-large cuts of meat, just as I did yesterday. Then, I grilled some vegetables, changed the taste in my mouth, and went to the meat again. The flavor of the meat was again so strong that I thought, "No matter how many bowls of rice I have, it won't be enough! I can't get enough rice! The plates of meat piled up again and again.
And then, I ordered the last dish, which in the past would have been either kalbi kuppa or cold noodle soup. I started with the hot and nourishing kalbi kuppa and finished with the cool and refreshing cold noodles. A beautiful finish indeed.
Ice cream would be nice as an after-dinner dessert. But I didn't want my mouth to be too sweet, so I ordered a cream soda. Yes, it tastes sweet and nostalgic. It was sweet, but not too sweet and refreshing. While sipping the cream soda, I leisurely checked my phone.
It's Ruu since she's my girlfriend now. I began to receive frequent messages from Ruu.
[Today's breakfast was bread. What did you eat, coach?] It's a very cute message. I never ate breakfast in general. It came naturally to me, as I had to keep up with my busy work schedule as a salaryman.
But recently, two meals a day is not enough to maintain my body, so I eat food more often. But my breakfast is still TKG, rice with eggs. When I sent that message to Ruu, she responded in kind, saying, "Please eat something more nutritious.". I am grateful for that.
But Ruu. Eggs are so rich in nutrients that they are called a complete nutritional food, and people used to treat them as medicine. And the TKG I make has at least three eggs in it. In addition, I sometimes added natto (fermented soybeans) to customize the dish.
Thinking about that makes me want to eat egg on rice again, even though I have just eaten meat.
