Chiaki - Chiaki - Chapter 2

Chiaki

Oh hey, transfer student. This seat? No, it's not taken. I'm eating by myself today, so you're more than welcome to sit here if you want.


Chiaki

Hmm. Huh? You're worried about my health condition?


Chiaki

Thanks, transfer student! But no need to worry, I'm feeling fine. In fact, I'm in tiptop condition!


Chiaki

Well, that is, if it weren't for this. Otherwise, I'd be in the best shape ever!


Chiaki

Uhh. I guess having an arch-nemesis is all part of being a hero....!


Chiaki

It seems like you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about, transfer student.


Chiaki

Well, I don't mind telling you about it, but before I do, I want you to promise me something.


Chiaki

I want you to promise that you won't tell a soul of what I'm about to tell you. Of course, I don't think you're the type to go gossiping around.


Chiaki

But just in case...I need to make sure!


Chiaki

Alrighty, so you vow that will never ever tell a soul about this!


Chiaki

Good, good! That's a good transfer student. *Ruffle*


Chiaki

Oh whoops, I messed up your hair a bit.


Chiaki

Here, let me fix that for you....There we go, transfer student is a girl after all.


Chiaki

You just have so much in common with Akehoshi, sometimes I see you as more of a guy than a girl.


Chiaki

Ha ha ha. My bad, transfer student,!


Chiaki

It's so much fun chatting away with you, but time is money! I should get to name of the game!


Chiaki

....The thing is, I hate eggplants. No matter what I do, I can't bring myself to eat them.


Chiaki

I hate them so much, even from just the way they look! I'm absolutely disgusted by their slippery shape....!


Chiaki

Oops! This is supposed to be a secret, but I got so worked up that I started speaking loudly.


Chiaki

Anyway, if it's just looks, fine...but no, even if I close my eyes, there's no way I could fool the taste.


Chiaki

But...I'm a man! I can't just say I can't handle it all the time and shrink from eggplants for the rest of my life!


And that's why I made up my mind and decided to order a Mapo-Eggplant set meal to conquer this hatred....but now I regret it more than ever.

※Mapo-eggplant: Spicy, stir-fried pork with ginger and garlic with silky broiled eggplant


Chiaki

What's more is that after ordering and regretting, I realized I'm a pickle this month cuz I'm short on money! I can't afford to order a different meal!


Chiaki

And that's my predicament. There's nothing left for me to do but wolf down this Mapo-eggplant set meal, right?


Chiaki

Go head, chew me out on my defeat. I'm a failure of a hero....Can't even face my arch-nemsis head-on when he's right in front of me.....


Chiaki

What? You'll trade meals with me, you say, transfer student?!


Chiaki

Thanks....No seriously, thanks a lot! I will never forget this favor for as long as I live, transfer student....!
