“And that’s when I said ‘If I did your ‘super important last minute cake’ on a discount, it would be a fuckin’ cupcake, honey. Double the rate since you want it rushed.’. Poor bastard looked like he swallowed a lemon whole, I swear to Inari. He didn’t even look at the sign above the counter saying ‘no rush orders’.”
Thankfully Aiya’s seemed to be rather empty this afternoon, which was mostly how she could chat it up with Shinjiro while she ate her usual order, sipping at her tea.
The shadow grabs a chair as well, looking all excited.
“Ok. What happened? Did Yukiko threaten to light him fire? Did Chie galactic punt him into orbit?”
“Well first,”
She held up her index finger.
“The womanizer accidentally quadruple booked on the same day somehow. I’ve got no idea how that happened, truly.”
Rebecca sounded quite smug at that. Like she had something to do with it. Well, writing an ema and hoping her wish came true was technically doing something about it, right?
“Me and my Yosuke had overheard Satonaka, Amagi, Ebihara-chan, and Naoto-kun all mention during the day that they were gonna go on a date with him in Okina. Naturally, we went to watch the fireworks.
It took like an hour but the girls showed up before he did, and they were all confused as fuck because the dumb sod never mentioned there’d be other people there!. I almost felt bad, but then he showed up and started sweating bullets! I thought he was gonna die of dehydration before they could confront him!”
She started gigglesnorting, having to adjust her headset again with a huff and a small grumble.
“Anyways, they asked him what the fuck was goin’ on, yeah? Naoto-kun ended up realizing what happened first and just so happened to say it loud enough for the other girls to hear.
I have never seen a girl smack a guy hard enough to make ‘im see stars but god damn, Ebihara-chan’s got a hell of an arm. I’m jealous. Amagi straight up took out a lighter. I have no idea why she had one in the first place but his expression was fuckin hilarious.
Once the tears started though, it really wasn’t funny anymore, and I got up and went over to them, spinning some believable BS about how I was in Okina for my mom when I heard the noise and got curious.”
She got a disgusted look on her face before continuing.
“True to form, he tried to say everything was okay and had the utter balls to try to flirt. Satonaka ended up smacking him lightly, and I do mean lightly, in the sternum and he went down like a wimp. Me and ‘Suke had to deal with the girls though.”
Rebecca let out a huff, grumbling as she crossed her arms over her flat chest.
“I felt really bad for all of them after that, cause once we all got back to Inaba, they spread what happened in Okina faster than a damn wildfire during windy season. The poor girls. Ebihara-chan was hit pretty hard, Ayame-chan too. I just wanted to give them both a hug and never let ‘em go. I’m pretty sure he was also dating a couple girls in my club.”
She crossed her legs with an irritated growl, looking rather protective.
“No one fucks with my cooking club and my girls, especially not some ladies man who thinks every girl is his for the taking.”
❝ i feel a little bad because i wanted to pick some for my mama , but that’s … pretty rude , huh ? maybe i’ll get lucky and find some dande – lions on my way home !! ❞
She debated with herself for just a split second.
“Hmm… I think three flowers would be alright as a gift. I know just which ones too. Lemme go get my clippers, ‘kay?”
Gently, Rebecca patted the little girl’s head, going back inside for just a moment and coming back out with a pair of flower cutters. She knelt down in front of the flower bed, carefully clipping a pansy, a daisy, and a dahlia, all cut in a way that the now bare stems weren’t obvious.
A small rubber band from her pocket tied them together, and she gently handed the little bundle to the little girl.
