Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 8Volume 3 .2 - Flirting and Shipwreck...?

Flirting and Shipwreck…? 2

As the afternoon peak passed, Sakuto was wiping down the counter when an adult woman approached him.

She was a beauty wearing a slightly flashy swimsuit with a white base and floral patterns.

She appeared to be in her mid to late twenties or maybe in her thirties.

“Excuse me, could I talk to you for a moment?”

“What can I do for you?”

“Those cat ears are cute, aren’t they?”

“Ah… This is the official uniform of the store…”

“I know. You’re cute in your reaction too huh?”

The woman chuckled and showed a beautiful smile, stepping closer to Sakuto.

“It looks like there are no other available staff, so maybe I’ll ask you?”

“Yes? Ask me what?”

“You know──”

The woman pointed to the shelf lined with bottles of alcohol.

“Can you make cocktails?”

“Yes, I can handle the basics.”

“Aren’t you underage?”

“I can mix the ingredients as required…”

“Hehe, that’s funny.”

Sakuto was puzzled. He hadn’t said anything particularly amusing.

“Then, could I have a Dry Martini, please〜?”

“Certainly──”

Sakuto went behind the counter and prepared the alcohol and tools needed.

A Dry Martini──typically a mixture of gin and vermouth at a ratio of four to one.

The method is very simple──

Put ice, gin, and vermouth in a mixing glass, stir with a stirrer until chilled.

Once done, place a strainer on the mixing glass and pour into a cocktail glass, making sure no ice gets in, and garnish with a green olive on a pick.

──He made it just as it was written in the book.

“Here’s your Dry Martini.”

“Thank you. I’ll enjoy this──”

The woman took a sip from the glass.

“──Ahh, delicious!”

“Thank you—”

—He just made it according to the recipe in the book.

“You’ve got a cute face but you’re pretty good at this, huh?”

“Thank you—”

—Well, he just made it according to the recipe in the book.

“You’re really good, did you learn this somewhere?”

“No, not particularly—”

—Again, he just made it according to the recipe in the book.

“So, I’m here with a friend, could you make two cocktails for us?”

“Certainly.”

After ordering two cocktails, the woman winked and headed out of the store first.

***

Sakuto, with the cocktails on a tray, searched for the woman in the sunbed area just outside the beach house.

The woman was easy to spot in her flashy swimsuit.

Her companion, a woman with long black hair, was lying face down, exposing her white back—

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Ah, there you are! Thanks♪”

“…Hm? Takayashiki?”

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

“Yes, I’m Takayashiki… ugh! Tachibana, sensei…”

“Hmm, indeed.”

Sakuto was surprised and turned pale.

The black-haired beauty lying on the sunbed was Tachibana Fuyuko, the math teacher.

Usually, Tachibana had the strict title of student guidance, but now she let her hair down, took off her glasses, and wore a mature brown bikini.

Her figure was terrifyingly good. Even compared to her usual plain clothes, one would mistake her for someone else if she hadn’t spoken up.

But more importantly──what should he do in this situation?

As Tachibana looked at him with a curious gaze, Sakuto felt extremely awkward and wondered, why is sensei here?

The school rules don’t prohibit part-time jobs, but is what I’m doing right now even considered a part-time job?

…With these thoughts, Sakuto’s mind was racing.

“So, Takayashiki. What are you doing here?”

“Just helping out at the store…”

Then Tachibana stared at Sakuto’s face and smirked.

“…Before the summer break, I suggested you might try being a bit more assertive, but I never said anything about growing cat ears?”

“Ah! This is the official uniform…!”

Seeing the flustered Sakuto trying to explain, Tachibana chuckled lightly.

“You’re here, so the Usami sisters are with you, aren’t they?”

“Uh… How did you come to that conclusion…?”

“It’s simple. Your actions are always based on the Usami sisters, right? You’re here in Futagoko Town and ended up in a situation where you have to work wearing cat ears, probably because of the Usami sisters… Well, that’s my guess.”

The woman who had been watching the exchange between Sakuto and Tachibana spoke up.

“Could it be that you’re one of Fuyuko’s students?”

“Yes. I don’t directly teach him though.”

“I see, I see. Oh, I’m Fuyuko’s friend, Hanaoka Fuuka.”

“Ah, yes… Nice to meet you, Hanaoka-san…”

Sakuto thought she seemed to have a light-hearted personality, and then he looked at Tachibana again.

“So, Takayashiki. Explain why you’re here.”

If Tachibana had gone to the shop, she would have found Hikari and Chikage.

Matori and Yuzuki were also there, so Sakuto realized he couldn’t bluff his way out of this—

***

“I see, so that “Karen” beach house is run by Kousaka’s uncle.”

“Yes…”

“You happened to be traveling with the Usami sisters and helped out because they were in trouble.”

While blurring some details, Sakuto finished explaining, and Tachibana smiled knowingly.

“That sounds like something Usami Chikage would do.”

“Yes, well…”

Once Tachibana seemed satisfied, Sakuto asked something he was curious about.

“By the way, Tachibana-sensei, why are you here?”

“I had a business trip nearby yesterday. Then Fuuka wanted to go to the beach.”

“I Googled and found out that Cat Town was close by, so I came with Fuyuko〜”

“Hmm. I may not look it, but I like cats.”

Sakuto responded with a disinterested “Oh.”

“So, where are you staying with the Usami sisters?”

“Uh, at a villa owned by an acquaintance of my aunt…”

“Hmm. So your aunt is with you?”

“Yes, well…”

Sakuto replied with a wry smile, but Tachibana looked at him suspiciously.

“What is it…?”

“…Well, it’s fine. As long as there are no problems.”

Sakuto felt relieved inside, but he was worried whether his lie had been noticed.

“Sorry Fuuka, could I have a moment alone with Takayashiki?”

“Ah, then I’ll go for a swim?”

Hanaoka smiled and ran off down the beach.

Being alone with Tachibana made Sakuto feel even more uncomfortable, but he braced himself for whatever she might say.
