Souta glanced at Alice and smiled. "Anyway, you still haven't answered my question."
"Ugh," Alice avoided his gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed. She hesitated before finally admitting, "I... I'm not sure if I can really call it a hobby or not, but I love trying different types of food."
"Food...?" Souta closed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. He realized that despite spending so much time together, he hadn't noticed this about her before. She must have been doing it secretly while he was occupied with training or other matters.
"Um... Say something, Souta!" Alice urged, feeling uncomfortable with his silence.
Souta opened his eyes and glanced at her before giving her a thumbs up, a sign of encouragement.
"What does that mean?!" Alice questioned, still feeling unsure.
