Chapter 5 – Mah-Mah-Macaroons

"We did it again Hasegawa-san."

"Yes. We sure did Sakata-san."

"Picking up spare coins on the ground just to buy chuuberts. *sigh* Money. Money. Money."

"You know... the two of us shouldn't be thinking of easy ways to make money. We'll only make money if we've worked hard to earn it!"

"Why did I have to play all that pachinko? I should have controlled myself better! Ah, what a pathetic thing to do... If I hadn't done that, I could have eaten all the parfaits I wanted. Ah, I regret it now... A pachinko a day makes my troubles away but once everything's over, I am left with nothing but a gurgling stomach!"

"You have it much better than I do."

"Hah! I have with me a girl with bottomless stomach, a huge dog to feed and a whining glasses-wearing boy! Is that better?!"

"Eh? But I heard you met an angel who fed you like kings."

"Angel?"

"The china-girl told me."

"Oh, there can't be an angel in these times. But she did cook for us."

"Was the meal delicious?"

"Yes. Super."

"She cooked without asking anything in return? A meal that's super delicious? And she's pretty? That's an angel!"

"An angel huh."

Her cooking was delicious. Sure. Her cakes were to die for. Sure. I admit. She was beautiful. She's a perfect 10/10.

"G-Gin-san... Gin-san!"

But it's not like she'll do that again. I know better. All the women around me treat me like a bug. All the women around me wouldn't hesitate to kick me, punch me and beat me to death. How can I say this... ah. She was different. But it's not like I know her. She was a stranger. And it's not like we'll see each other again.

"GIN-SAN!"

"What is it?!"

"Look! Look! That girl over there! Isn't she totally b-beautiful?!"

I glanced at where he was pointing and saw a familiar face.

"Oh."

It was her.

 

____________

She was surrounded with a group of scumbags. What kind of trouble has she gotten into? Dazzled by her beauty, they were pestering her.

I felt annoyed from watching them having their way to her.

"Hey there pretty girl. Come and have fun with us."

She remained silent as she froze on the spot.

"Come on, it will be fun. We'll be sure to give you a taste of heaven. Hehehe."

Without knowing it, my legs led me towards their direction. I went closer and warned them, "Oi. Get your filthy hands off her 'else I'd give you a taste of hell, Nii-chan."

The three hoodlums glared at me. They had me surrounded.

"Huh? Who the hell are you?! What's your problem?! Huh?!"
