Ch. 83.2 - Anticipation and Longing Pt2
The sweet-and-sour taste spread across her tongue, mingling with soft cream and silky crepe layers. Ayaka absentmindedly poked at the fruit mille crêpe with her fork, the slice on her plate already half gone.
It was HARBS’ signature dessert, a famous, highly praised shop.
It was also a souvenir her brother, Harutaki, had gone out of his way to bring back for her.
And yet…
As she thought that, she speared a piece of fruit that had slid to the edge of the plate and popped it into her mouth.
“Guh…”
So sour!
She’d probably just hit the kiwi.
Even though the fruits in a fruit mille crêpe were candied, after several bites of sweetness, even the faintest trace of tartness from a kiwi would be amplified infinitely at a moment like this,
Just like her feelings toward her brother, Harutaki.
A handsome face and a tall, sturdy build.
A witty, clever mind with a great sense of humor.
Excellent habits born of strict self-discipline.
Remarkable self-control.
Gentle, considerate to a fault.
And on top of all that, a masterful cook…
That seemingly omnipotent brother of hers already had a girl he liked.
To Ayaka, that senior, Shihou Chouko, was without a doubt a girl who suited her brother perfectly.
Gentle and quiet, poised and graceful, radiating elegance and nobility from head to toe. A young lady from a prestigious family like that, no matter how outstanding her brother Harutaki was, calling it “marrying up” wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Of course, she wanted, no, she was genuinely happy, to see her idiot big brother find happiness.
