Chapter 179
Hitori suddenly realized something and became more interested in Ishikawa Hayato's preferences, so she quickly asked.
"Hayabusa... what does Hayabusa like to eat?!"
Ishikawa Hayato tilted his head back and thought for a moment, then revealed a mischievous smile and teased him.
"It's a secret. If you guess it, I'll give Hitori a reward!"
"Can... can I guess?"
Hitori was a little insecure, but before Ishikawa Hayato could reassure her, she nodded.
"I'm sure I'll find something the falcon likes to eat."
Ishikawa Hayato felt that she had gone off-topic, but he didn't care and put his arm around the obedient but clumsy girl as they walked toward the bustling food street.
I don't know if it was because I wanted to find out what Ishikawa Hayato liked to eat, or because he was around.
I didn't feel out of place at all Hitori this bustling, lively food street filled with vendors' shouts and a vibrant atmosphere.
But looking at the densely packed food stalls on both sides of the road, she couldn't help but let her eyes wander.
For someone as indecisive as her, having so many choices was like hell.
Fortunately, she remembered that Ishikawa Hayato liked sweets.
Just follow this path to find it...
"Ah, there's steak over there! I remember Hitori likes meat."
Ishikawa Hayato pointed triumphantly in one direction and said.
Hitori hearing the first half of Ishikawa Hayato's sentence, Ichiri's empty stomach caused her mouth to water, but upon hearing the second half, she reluctantly swallowed it back.
It's so unfair that only Falcon knows her preferences.
She didn't respond to Ishikawa Hayato, but anxiously looked around. This time, she made a decisive decision.
"Falcon, um, that! A donut."
After finding something that Ishikawa Hayato might like to eat, she looked at Ishikawa Hayato with a delighted expression, as if showing off a treasure.
Ishikawa Hayato was amused by her reaction.
"That's good, but since I suggested it first, let's buy the steak first, then the donuts."
After hesitating for Hitori, Ichiri looked at the shop, then at Ishikawa Hayato, and said to him.
"I want to let the falcon eat first... Let's buy some donuts first."
Ishikawa Hayato smiled.
Looks like I'll have to take back that "good girlfriend" title.
But that's good too; it's always better to express yourself than to keep things bottled up inside.
"But I also want to let Hitori eat first, and I'll eat first too."
The two started arguing.
Hitori knew that Ishikawa Hayato cared about the reasons behind his arguments, and if she argued with him without a reason, he wouldn't easily give up on his ideas.
She then said.
"Because I like... I like the falcon a little more, so the falcon should eat first."
Her face, flushed with embarrassment, seemed slightly red.
Ishikawa Hayato's gaze lingered on her slightly misty eyes, and he wasn't about to be outdone.
"I definitely prefer it to be a little over Hitori!"
Hitori was both happy and helpless. She didn't want to object to Ishikawa Hayato's words, especially his statement, even if it was false.
She made up another excuse.
At this moment, she began to feel fortunate for her numerous and conflicting thoughts, and soon found another one.
"Hmm... Falcon... Falcon must be hungry."
"Hitori 'm hungry too."
Passersby walked past the two of them, giving them resentful looks.
If you're hungry, go eat something! Stop showing off your love here!
As Ishikawa Hayato spoke, Hitori's stomach churned at just the right moment.
Suddenly she was speechless, Hitori began to hate her disobedient body.
Looking at Hitori, who was bowing his head and seemed somewhat powerless, Ishikawa Hayato said.
"How about we eat together? No matter who chooses what, we'll eat it all together?"
"Eat together?!" Hitori thought of something that made her heart race, and quickly said, suppressing her trembling cheeks.
"Good."
Feeling hungry, the two quickly went to the steak stall and ordered a steak.
Because the shop owner had already prepared a lot of semi-finished products, he worked very quickly.
Hitori watched the large, marinated steak, still glistening with sauce, being placed on the hot plate, his mouth watered uncontrollably.
But then she remembered something else important and quickly stopped herself, looking expectantly at the steak covered by the pot lid on the hot plate.
After a short while, the lid was opened, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.
Hitori sniffed the fragrant steak, then subconsciously glanced at Ishikawa Hayato next to her, her gaze lingering on his mouth before quickly looking away.
But suddenly, she heard the grinding sound of metal and turned to the shopkeeper in alarm.
The shopkeeper quickly sharpened his knife and, while Hitori screaming "No!", began slicing the steak into pieces.
Hitori's eyes went completely black as the steak was split open.
"Alright~ Your steaks are ready."
The shopkeeper smiled and handed over slices of veal steak, each with a bamboo skewer attached, packaged in a box for easy eating.
This is just a slice of cured meat, Hitori thought reluctantly.
Seeing that Hitori didn't react, Ishikawa Hayato reached out and took the box himself. He glanced at Hitori, who was vaguely dissatisfied.
At that moment, she really understood things.
But he simply forked a small piece of steak and said to Hitori.
"Hitori, ah~"
Hitori seeing his action, Ichiri blinked quickly and turned to Ishikawa Hayato, looking excited that there was such a thing.
She hesitated for a moment before opening her small mouth, feeling both embarrassed and incredibly excited.
A bamboo skewer with steak was placed near her mouth, and she opened her mouth to eat it.
The marinated beef, infused with rich juices, is then properly steamed, boiled, and pan-fried, resulting in a firm exterior and tender interior.
The outer grilled layer is slightly firm and has a very filling taste, while the meat inside is tender and easy to bite into, which is so delicious that it makes you want to cry.
Most importantly, it was fed to her by a falcon!
"Hitori... there's no need to cry."
Ishikawa Hayato looked at her helplessly.
"Um, thank you..." Hitori swallowed the steak, clasped his hands together in front of him with great sincerity, and said with a sob.
"I am so... so grateful to Falcon. My life... my life is complete."
"Hitori's life isn't that cheap, come again, ah~"
Hitori instinctively wanted to open her mouth, but realizing that Hayabusa should be next, she quickly wiped away her tears.
She spoke hurriedly, her voice still trembling with sobs.
"Then... it's time for Hayabusa!"
Seeing that she had recovered, Ishikawa Hayato withdrew his hand and prepared to eat it himself.
But Hitori she got anxious, half-reaching out her hand, looking like she didn't dare to snatch but wanted to take it, and hurriedly said...
"Falcon... let me feed you too."
"All right."
Ishikawa Hayato smiled, put down the steak, lowered the box slightly, and bent down, opening his mouth slightly.
Hitori nervously picked up the bamboo skewer.
Her unsteady swaying, whether from excitement or nervousness, worried Ishikawa Hayato.
He wasn't worried that she would drop the meat.
Instead, the bamboo skewers have pointed tips.
Watching Hitori's infatuated smile, her face flushed with excitement, and then, as if unable to contain her emotions, she excitedly closed her eyes.
Seeing the bamboo skewer Ishikawa Hayato cried out in alarm.
"Yi-yi, open your eyes!"
"Ah..."
Hitori moment, then opened her eyes again, but her hand trembled slightly at the same time.
The slice of meat, which was already precariously hanging on the bamboo skewer, fell to the ground with this tremor.
But Ishikawa Hayato caught it with lightning speed and immediately put it in his mouth.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got to eat the meat.
But when he turned around to look at Hitori, he found that she had turned back into a 6.9-inch figure and was wailing "Ahhhhh..."
Ishikawa Hayato laughed and pulled her into his arms.
Her soft, tender body leaned against him without any resistance, Hitori, her expression returning to normal.
She looked up at Ishikawa Hayato with a guilty expression.
"Falcon, I'm sorry..."
With both hands occupied, one holding the box and the other Hitori Ishikawa Hayato, I lowered my head and gently let down Ichiri's Hitori.
Hitori was taken aback; Ishikawa Hayato had told her that she didn't need to apologize.
Ishikawa Hayato didn't give her any extra time to think.
"Let's find a chair and eat our donuts slowly after we buy them."
"Good."
Hitori nodded vigorously.
She didn't show any extra expression, but she was so moved that she almost cried.
Ishikawa Hayato was too good to her.
It wasn't material or linguistic; it was simply this way of letting her understand his attitude without making her feel pressured, guiding her forward, that moved her deeply.
After buying two donuts from the stall, the two went to a quiet park nearby and found a bench to sit on.
As soon as she sat down, Ishikawa Hayato put his arm Hitori's shoulder without any hesitation and placed the box containing the steak on her lap.
He opened his mouth with a smile and said.
Ah~
Hitori never expected that she would have the chance to feed Ishikawa Hayato again. Looking at the food box in front of her, Hitori quickly prepared herself mentally this time.
She carefully skewered the meat slices with a bamboo skewer, holding the skewer firmly with one hand while gently protecting it with the other, and slowly moved it toward Ishikawa Hayato.
Ishikawa Hayato looked at the small, soft, white hands in front of him, tightly holding the small bamboo skewer.
He glanced at the expectant look on her Hitori, resisted the urge to bite her hand, and obediently ate the slice of meat.
He didn't know if the steak was good or not; he only knew that Hitori tasted delicious.
