Chapter 275: Moon Viewing
"Sorry, we'll be more careful," Nagato said, stepping in to handle the situation so Nonō wouldn't have to.
They weren't in the right, so it was only natural to admit their mistake.
After this brief incident, neither of them chatted anymore, quietly waiting in line.
About twenty minutes later, the person in front of Nagato had started ordering.
"What are you having? I'll order it together," Nagato asked without turning around, his attention fixed on the menu at Ramen Ichiraku.
"I'll see if they have any new products," Nonō said, adjusting her glasses with one hand as she leaned over Nagato's shoulder to look at the menu.
"How about beef ramen?" Nagato suggested just as he turned his head, and suddenly it felt like something had bumped into his face.
Both froze for a moment, their breathing clearly audible to each other.
"It's delicious. They use high-quality beef from the Land of Lightning," Nonō said quickly, bowing her head to answer Nagato's question as she pulled back, her face flushed. She hadn't noticed anything unusual on the menu, but it seemed like she might have kissed Nagato accidentally.
"Um, then I'll have the beef one," Nagato replied, touching his face and pretending nothing had happened, though his heartbeat seemed to quicken.
"I'll have the tuna ramen," Nonō said, glancing up at Nagato. Seeing that he seemed fine, she let out a small sigh of relief. Maybe it was just my imagination.
