All Beautiful Girls Want to Stick with Me

Yukino had only heard of the sukiyaki place by reputation before—Tako-nee’s Sukiyaki House in Chiba was said to be very delicious. But she hadn’t known anything about the quirks of the restaurant—or its neighboring sushi shop.

This was Yukino’s first time at Tako-nee’s Sukiyaki House.

The moment they pushed the door open, they saw all the servers walking around inside wearing colorful octopus headgear. Even Yukino’s normally calm expression twitched slightly. It felt like her sanity meter had plummeted straight into R’lyeh.

What kind of genius of an owner had come up with the idea of making all the waitstaff wear octopus headgear?

Kotomi was already used to Yukino Yukinoshita’s reaction. The first time she came here with Iroha Isshiki, her expression had been exactly the same. Afterward, Kotomi even wondered if that little devil had deliberately chosen this restaurant just to see her dumbfounded face when she saw all the servers in octopus headgear.

Kotomi couldn’t figure it out. She even asked Iroha several times over the phone and on LINE: ”Iroha, when you took me to Tako-nee’s Sukiyaki House, was it because you wanted to see my shocked expression when I saw the waiters wearing octopus headgear?”

That simple question made Iroha twitch the corner of her mouth helplessly. Finally, Kotomi got the reply: Senpai, do you want me to call you a big idiot, or a little fool?

”Welcome, how many?”

”Two.”

Kotomi held up two fingers with a little wave. Coincidentally, the server wearing the octopus headgear was the same young lady who had attended to her and Iroha on their first visit.

Because Kotomi was so stun—no, so beautiful, the server remembered her clearly. The moment she saw Kotomi again, she recalled everything within seconds.

What’s more, on the wall inside Tako-nee’s Sukiyaki House, there was still a couple’s photo of Kotomi and Iroha. The owner had been so touched by them that she decided to hang their photo permanently.

But today, the girl by Kotomi’s side wasn’t the pretty, light-brown-haired beauty from that photo.

This immediately made the server think Kotomi was two-timing, dating both girls at once! But then again—maybe not. They could just be friends. Friends going out for sukiyaki wasn’t strange at all. Perhaps this long-haired, black-haired ice queen was simply a friend. Maybe they just happened to be passing by, got hungry, and came in to eat.

The server led Kotomi and Yukino to a relatively quiet spot. It was already past 11 a.m., prime lunch hour, so the place was packed and a bit noisy.

Ironically, the seats they were given were right next to the spot where Kotomi and Iroha had first sat. On the table seemed to be a little placard that read something like: The Blessing of Cupid Descends Here.

Kotomi was just glad she wasn’t drinking water, or she definitely would’ve spat it out after reading that line.

Once they sat down and ordered, Yukino picked up her phone and said to Kotomi:

”Kotomi, watch my bag for me. I’m going to the restroom.”

”Sure, no problem.”
