Chapter 7 - Himari Uehara

Rinko chat a bit with Himari and Yue in the bakery. The 3 of them are having fun chatting. Rinko loves when Himari refers herself as "Himari-chan" whenever she praises her own charm with a smug. Rinko thought it will be interesting if she befriended this girl. Yue on the other hand seemed like a kind, empathetic and hardworking person.

Rinko got to know more from them after some talk. From how they talk, it seems that Yue is used to deal with unique people like Himari. She radiated the aura of an older sister, the type who spoils their sibling and takes care of the problem they cause.

After some talk, Rinko continue to look for her breakfast. Both of them recommended PBJ strudel, they said that it was the most popular bread in the bakery. She can only believe them, she saw half of bread were PBJ strudel because Himari buys it every single one. It seems that this time she only bought 3 of them. Rinko took 2 of them and went to the case where Yue was. But it seemed there were some problems because she saw Himari there with Yue.

Rinko : "Is there a problem Himari, Yue?"

She asked both of them about what happened. She look and Himari seemed to be dispirit and looked down. Yue was the one who answer Rinko question.

Yue : "Well... It seem Himari forgot to bring her wallet when she got out."

Himari : "uhhh... can I still have the bread I will pay you later please~"

Yue then explained, she forgot her wallet when she got out. She realized it when she payed for her bread. Yue offered to let Himari to just take the bread for free. But Himari refused as she wanted to buy it with her own money. Understanding the problem, Rinko can only shake head, is this strudel really that tasty?

Rinko : "Is that bread really that tasty Himary-chan?"

Himari : "Indeed, and not having fresh Nagumo bakery bread is like saying I don't deserve to have bread (underwear) for the rest of my life."

She answered lifelessly like it was the end of the world. It seemed she was having a conflict, to go home or to take Yue's offer. And so Rinko got an idea.

Rinko : " Then how about I pay for you first? You can return it after a while."

Rinko told her that. It seemed Himari was still troubled by it, so Yue gave her another suggestion.

Yue : " How about this Himari, Rinko is new here, so why don't you show her around while you also get your wallet and return her your money."

Rinko : " It will be great if you can show me around the city Himari-chan."

Himari : "Of course, the guide Himari-chan will take Rinko around the city and the pay will be all the bread of Nagumo bakery~"

A smug smile came to her face and said that to Rinko.

Rinko : "No, I said I will borrow it not pay for you and it's not all of the Nagumo bakery bread only the one you pay."

Himari : "Ehhh... you are no fun."

Yue : "Haha... You seemed to already get along."

She was showing a caring smile while watching their banter.

Rinko : "I wonder, if you buy a lot of bread is it for your friend or your family?"

Himari : "It is just for me... and I'm holding back quite now."

Rinko : 'Ehhh holding back? If this is normal amount for her, where does all of the fat go?'

Rinko quietly stared at her body wondering where she stored it.

Rinko : "Is it true that Yue always eat this many bread Yue?"

Rinko looked at Yue thinking maybe this was a joke.

Himari : "How cruel Rinko chan~... Why don't you believe me?"

Faking her tear, she showed an expression that said how Rinko betrayed her. Rinko ignore her looked quietly at Yue. She can only showed a troubled smile while quietly looking away.

After that Rinko paid Himari bread and said goodbye to Yue. They took a rest in a nearby park to eat their bread before Himari guided Rinko to the city. Rinko bought some drink for her and Himari and sit at the nearest bench. Himari seemed to enjoy her bread very much. She saw her munch at the bread and only looked at it with a smile. She put the drink beside her and started to eat her breakfast.

Rinko : "Can you eat it slower? The bread won't escape and you got breadcrumbs all over your face."

Rinko sighed at her sloppiness.

Himari : "Don't worry~.... this breadcrumbs will only make Himari-chan cuter to guys."

Ignoring her advice, she continued eating her bread. Feeling restless about her sloppiness, Rinko took out handkerchief.

Rinko : "A lady should take better care of herself."

Before she can respond, Rinko held her chin and wiped the breadcrumb from her cheek.

Himari : "Hehehe... It's seem that you became more of a gentleman and to hold a lady without permission you know~."

She retorted to Rinko. Even tough she said with her smug smile on her face. Rinko décide to play along with her.

Rinko : "Ohh... but my lady it is hard for this one to see your beautiful face stained with those bread."

Himari : "Nice excuse ~... you are just taking advantage to touch your beautiful lord's body... you are one bad yuri maid~."

She said while shielding her body from Rinko

Rinko : "So you realize it uh... then I won't hold back."

Rinko took a stance and keep at her any moment.

Himari : "Nooo~.... someone save me ~"

She spoke like a maiden in danger but her voice and smug smile can't add any suspense to the scene at all.

Rinko : "pffff.... hahaha."

Rinko can only laughter seeing her like this.
