All Beautiful Girls Want to Stick with Me

”Unreal! I wonder who’d win if we put her up against the 7-layer girl in an eating match?”

”If I hadn’t seen it myself, I’d swear this was edited CGI!”

The crowd of onlookers erupted with admiration. The initial confusion and disbelief had vanished, replaced by reverence for Kotomi.

People always admire the strong, even if it’s someone strong at eating burgers.

”What a thrilling challenge! That was amazing! Alright, as promised, everything’s on the house, and here’s your 500,000 yen voucher!”

The manager, eyes brimming with tears, exclaimed. It had been years since he’d felt this fired up, especially after the constant beatdowns of adult life.

Soon after, Kotomi was handed the voucher for 500,000 yen.

”Miss, please enter your phone number here to link it to this voucher. Then, if you don’t have the voucher on hand, just giving your number will let you use it at any Burger King,” the manager explained.

After she entered her phone number and the verification code she received, the voucher was successfully linked.

The manager gave Kotomi a bow and was about to leave when she called him back: ”Wait, I haven’t finished ordering!”

Startled, the manager nearly stumbled, grabbing onto the nearest chair to steady himself as he stammered, ”M-Miss, you’re not joking, right? You can really eat more?”

Kotomi shook her head. ”I don’t feel like eating another burger right now, but I still haven’t gotten my blueberry sundae. When I ordered earlier, I asked to swap the free chocolate sundae for blueberry.”

The manager stared, bewildered, at the employee who had initially taken her order. The employee nodded hastily and said, ”Yes, that’s right. I was just so shocked by her 12-burger challenge that I nearly forgot! I’ll grab the sundae right now!”

Hehe, Kotomi thought gleefully. After those burgers, I’ll have a nice dessert sundae to cleanse my palate.

After eating twelve of those towering burgers, she could definitely use something refreshing, and the sundae would be perfect.

Soon, Kotomi’s long-awaited blueberry sundae was brought over, and after the staff cleared away the burger wrappers, the manager and employees returned to their duties.

”I’m digging in!”

Kotomi cheerfully bit into her plastic spoon and reached for the sundae, ready to savor it.

Her spoon came up empty!

Startled, Kotomi looked up to see her precious sundae missing from the table. She glanced around and found it in Megumi’s hand.

”Megumi, I want my sundae!” Kotomi protested, brandishing her spoon in defiance.

But today, Megumi wasn’t about to let her off the hook so easily. She swiftly reached out, pinching Kotomi’s nose gently, and sternly chided her:

”Do I need to drill this into you for you to finally remember? You’re not supposed to eat cold things right now! Do you think you’re made of iron? You’re on your period, and here you are, reaching for ice cream?”

At that moment, Kotomi remembered. Oh, right. I’m on my period and shouldn’t be having anything cold these days.

Just earlier, she’d been reminding Megumi to remember her birthday, yet here she was, needing to be reminded of her own condition. Embarrassed, she scratched her head and mumbled awkwardly, ”Hehe, I almost forgot about my period. Good thing I didn’t get to eat the ice cream.”

”You just told me not to rely on you as a reminder app. But it seems like now I’m acting like yours! I reminded you earlier at lunch not to eat anything spicy, and now here I am, having to remind you not to eat anything cold. Kotomi, seriously, get a grip!”

”It’s complementary, complementary! We’re just complementing each other. You’re my reminder app, and I’m yours.”

Sigh ”There’s no helping you, is there? Alright, the ice cream is mine. Here, take my orange juice—it doesn’t have any ice.”

After snatching Kotomi’s spoon, Megumi handed her the orange juice she’d barely sipped from.

Kotomi still wanted that sundae, but there was no way she could ignore the fiery, monthly visit from her period, so she reluctantly accepted the cold ban.

As she sipped the orange juice through the straw, a thought crossed her mind.

Megumi used this straw. And she’s using my spoon for the sundae.

Could this be... an indirect kiss?

A warm blush bloomed on Kotomi’s cheeks, and she lowered her eyes in contentment, her gaze twinkling as she softly chuckled to herself.
