Active JK Idol Seems to be Interested in Me Who is a Free Person.

 Chapter 24 – It seems that JK Idol-san is interested in food trips (part 2)

Various shops lined up neatly.

These shops consist of snack food stores to explore, souvenir shops for tourists, and other miscellaneous stores.

"Himahara-kun, mentaikatsu, mentaikatsu!"

"Alright, calm down. Two mentaikatsu, please."

"Sure. That will be 400 yen."

The cheerful shop owner swiftly wrapped the hot and juicy mentaikatsu in oil-resistant paper.

"Here, your mentaikatsu."

We each received one and started eating as we walked.

The crispy, brown-colored coating was not too thick. The filling contained dense and flavorful beef, a delicious taste that made me want to take another bite immediately.

"It's delicious, isn't it, Sakurazaki?"

Sakurazaki was busy eating the mentaikatsu with full concentration.

She looked like a squirrel.

I suddenly became interested in the celebrity photos displayed next to the shop.

"They say quite a few celebrities come here. But how many of them have I actually seen?"

"Well, from what I know, there's this singer-songwriter and a comedian. The comedian called me a kid, so I don't like him."

"Well, Sakurazaki, having a small body is your advantage. So don't worry too much."

"... Himahara-kun, do you prefer small things?"

"Well, if I had to choose... maybe I do."

"H-Huh."

What's with this atmosphere?

"Hey, Sakurazaki, how about something sweet?"

"Something sweet?"

"Like the baked donuts over there."

"Yes! I love baked donuts!"

I bought a baked donut and gave it to Sakurazaki.

What is this? Honestly, it feels like I'm just feeding her.

"I like baked donuts because they're not too oily."

Baked donuts are actually baked in an oven, so they might have less oil content compared to regular donuts that are deep-fried.

Yes, women tend to pay attention to things like that.

The group of customers is mostly high school girls.

"After eating something sweet, I feel like eating something salty."

"It seems like an endless cycle, doesn't it?"

After that, Sakurazaki enjoyed various foods like seafood skewers, crackers, and manju.

Then, I brought up a question.

"You eat whatever you want without worry, but you're not gaining weight, right?"

"Yes, on the contrary, I'm too skinny. Even my dance teacher told me to eat more."

"Really?"

If she said that in front of other women, they might envy her and curse her.

"By the way, when I saw your profile on the internet, you looked really light."

"Huh? You saw my profile on the internet?"

"Ah... no."

"Well, so Himahara-kun looked at my profile?"

"Just... I don't know."

"So, Himahara-kun intentionally searched for and looked at my profile and so on?"

"..."

Rarely does she seem to lose control.

"Because you're always by my side, I'm kind of interested in you."

"Hmm."

Sakurazaki looked at me with a mysterious smile.

There's something about this ambiguous smile that annoys me.

"Stop teasing me already."

"Oh, Himahara-kun! Look, it's a wooden cat statue!"

Sakurazaki suddenly ran ahead.

In front of her was a cat statue.

Cat statues... oh right, Sakurazaki really loves cats.

"They say there are seven wooden cat statues in this shopping center. And this is one of them."

"Wow...! Then let's go for a walk while looking for them!"

Sakurazaki's eyes sparkled.
