If the first floor was created with the theme of marine life, the second floor was created with the theme of aquatic life living in a river or stream.

Compared to the first floor, the number of beavers, freshwater crayfish, frogs, and salamanders was a little small, but still a fairly large number of creatures were living in the aquarium.

“Wow! Cute!”

Tojo bursts into exclamation when he sees a beaver building a house out of tree branches.

Sakamoto was also watching the show with a pretty happy face with his hands in his pockets.

“Ryu-chan! Ryu-chan! Look at this! Doesn’t this frog look amazing?”

“Yes.”

Perhaps I forgot that I was being followed, I looked around as I adjusted the rhythm to Kishimoto, who was paying attention to the speckled frog.

Unlike the first floor, the lighting on the second floor is relatively bright.

Apparently, the creatures that live in rivers often live on land and in water, so it seems like it was because they had artificially created a grassy forest.

Because of the lighting, it seemed unreasonable to go completely close like before, so I had no choice but to watch from a distance.

It had been about 15 minutes since Tojo and Sakamoto started visiting the second floor?

Now, whether they had looked around all the things to look at, the two went down to the first floor again by taking the revolving stairs at the end of the second floor.

It must have been about 40 minutes in the aquarium.

It was time for lunch anyway, so we decided to leave the Iman Aquarium.

“Rika, let’s go now.”

“Ah… wait, I was just looking at this.”

“I don’t have time.”

“I can’t, hey, hey!”

As I forcibly dragged him out, Kishimoto, in a pathetic voice, reached out towards the beaver, who was in the middle of eating.

April 22nd (土) [PM 12:20]

After leaving the aquarium, Tojo and Sakamoto headed to Minami Ikebukuro Park, which is about a 10-minute walk away.

“Wow, there are so many people out for a picnic.”

“I know.”

It was like seeing Central Park in New York or the banks of the Han River.

On the wide lawn, people who came out with their families or lovers sat on mats and chatted hahaha.

If it was Korea, I would have ordered food delivered over the phone instead of bringing my own lunch at home, but here I am Japanese, so I woke up early and packed my lunch.

When I pulled out a black lacquered three-tier box from the bag I had been wearing since morning, Kishimoto’s eyes lit up.

“Wow! You’ve got a packed lunch!”

“Because you have to eat well to follow suit.”

With that said, I opened the first floor of the bin.

“Wow! Kimbap and tofu sushi!”

“I tried my best today.”

Kimbap and tofu sushi are classic menu items on picnic days in Korea.

In the case of gimbap, it is not a regular gimbap, but pork cutlet and tuna, and tofu sushi contains furikake and beef.

Since we were going to eat it for the two of us, I packed a little more, so any leftovers will go into my stomach in the evening.

This time, the lid on the second floor was opened.

“Tempura! Egg rolls! Stewed Potatoes!”

“It’s the essence of a picnic.”

If the first floor is Korean style, the second floor is a Japanese style lunch box side dish.

We brought karaage, fried shrimp, rolled egg and simmered potatoes, and tsukemono made of various vegetables.

Protein and carbohydrates are important, but vitamins and fiber are essential to a balanced diet.

There is no need to open it already, but I also opened the lid of the last 3rd floor for Kishimoto who was looking at me with a leaning gaze.

“Awesome! Dessert is perfect!”

Kishimoto is really happy.

Inside are various fruits such as cherry tomatoes and oranges, melons and watermelons.

I bought this at a convenience store in a small amount and sold it in a cup, and I only changed the packaging.

It’s much more cost-effective to buy fruit in small amounts than to buy all the fruits by type.

Instead of a mat, we sat on a wooden bench in the park and watched the two of them go on a date while sharing a three-tiered lunch box we had brought.

gulp-

Tojo Karen was the most nervous of the day.

That’s right, because this was definitely the first time I’ve ever cooked food for someone.

Following the recipe that Kim Yoo-seong gave me, I completed the best lunch box after practicing for three days and three nights.

The result is now in the mouth of the person you like.

“Wow, was this all made by Tojo-san? I’ll eat well.”

She nodded in response to Sakamoto’s question.

“You can eat as much as you like. Because I’ve made a lot of it.”

“Then… starting with the rice ball.”

As Tojo watched, the first thing Sakamoto picked up was a triangular rice ball.

There are three ingredients: umeboshi, pickled salmon, and cod roe mayo.

This was not Kim Yoo-sung, but after asking the chef who cooks at the mansion for the recipe.

No matter how many side dishes there are, I think it’s better than just taking the bare rice.

“Wow, delicious!”

Fortunately, she was right.

He succeeded in getting the word delicious from Sakamoto’s mouth.

This gave Tojo confidence, he was able to recommend the next meal without hesitation.

“Try this this time.”

What she picked up with her chopsticks and brought out was a golden-brown karaage.

After dozens of practice sessions, her masterpiece was barely edible.

Sakamoto, who ate the rice ball with an exclamation that it was always delicious, was hesitant to take it for a moment, probably because it was an unexpected action, but soon after, Tojo’s eyes changed terribly, and he opened his mouth and ate the karaage.

well water.

“No, it’s delicious.”

“Isn’t it? Eat egg rolls and Vienna too.”

From then on, it was a breeze.

She was next to Sakamoto, feeding and serving meals.

Sakamoto, who had a burdensome expression at first, seemed to give up at some point, and began to eat the side dishes she offered to him.

When the lunch box that Tojo had prepared was half empty, Sakamoto thought that it would not be possible to do so, so he suggested to her in reverse.

“Don’t just give it to me, eat some amount of Tojo.”

Then Tojo blinked while holding his chopsticks.

“It’s okay because I’m full just looking at you eating deliciously.”

“It’s because I’m uncomfortable, come on!”

Tojo stared blankly at the onigiri that Sakamoto handed over to the station, then nodded his head and took a big bite out of his mouth.

Perhaps that opened his mouth, he grabbed the rice ball with both hands and started eating in a hurry.

Ryuji Sakamoto watched the scene happily, then poured the oolong tea in the thermos and handed it to her.

Maybe it was just that he was thirsty, so he hurriedly took a cup of oolong tea and drank it.

“Pooh!”

Sakamoto asked with a smirk at her exciting meal, who had forgotten even shivering for a moment.

“Isn’t it better to eat together than to eat alone?”

Then, after realizing that he had been embarrassed, Tojo nodded his face as red as a tomato.

“yes.”

The meal time just for the two of them passed in such a warm atmosphere.

***

After having lunch at Minami Ikebukuro Park, Tojo and Sakamoto walked slowly along the tree-lined streets of the park.

Kishimoto muttered as he watched the scene from afar while drinking green tea from the vending machine.

“I want to go on a date like that later…”

I, who was next to me, heard those words and felt something strange.

“Rika, didn’t you say that you were a dating doctor last time?”

Then Rika hurriedly covered her mouth, realizing that she had made a mistake.

But maybe it was because he knew he couldn’t pick up the words he had already said, so he smiled hehehehe and said this.

“Actually, I’ve never done it myself, but I learned it from manga.”

“……”

Have you been flirting up until now with the knowledge you learned from manga?

“Oh, but you really did a lot of dating counseling with your friends?! Really!”

I had a lot to say, but for now, I decided to move on because it wasn’t important.

More than that, Tojo, we both have a good atmosphere, isn’t it time to confess?

That’s when I turned my head forward again.

“Wow, do you like the picture?”

Something completely unexpected happened.

“I searched a lot. You parasitic brother.”

“Last time, we took the girl we were working on first, but this time we’re dating a new girl?”

“Isn’t this the perfect player?”

In the blink of an eye, a pair of assholes that looked like they had popped out of a cartoon appeared and surrounded the two of them while they were walking.

“Shall I call the police?”

“No, wait a minute. Even if you report it now, it will take quite a while to be dispatched.

After I dried the bewildered Kishimoto, I watched what Tojo and Sakamoto do, surrounded by bastards.

If this was one of the original events, it might have been better for us not to intervene.

Immediately after, Sakamoto, who seemed to be acquainted with the two, stepped forward and shouted.

“You guys! What kind of face did you appear with!”

“Hey, scared. Will you hit me again? This time, I’ll just have to stay in the hospital for a month.”

As they said that, they pretended to grab the neck and arm that were doing the cast.

“Ugh… cowardly bastards.”

It was a short conversation, but this alone was enough to understand what the relationship was.

The first-year freshmen of the kendo club that I had only heard of as passing by.

They are probably the guys who attacked Sakamoto 2:1 and got robbed.

“I was caught fighting with you, but I was caught lying around, so I was cut from the kendo club that I barely entered!”

“You don’t know the pain of our being unable to see Fuuma-senpai’s amazing breasts anymore!”

That was then.

“You idiots!”

Tojo, who had been quietly listening to the story behind him, shouted in an angry voice.

“Since you guys keep coming out with that attitude, you still don’t know that you were cut from the kendo club!”
