I and the assassin decide to eat takoyaki. The assassin’s comment seems to be that she’s going to stay with me a little longer, so I’ll be able to torture her without worrying. It made me think so.

To the assassin who is staring at the takoyaki, I give her a piece of advice. I am always serious, but this time, with a super serious face, I say

“The way to eat takoyaki is to eat it in one bite, you know? ”

“Take a bite of this hot stuff… Osaka people are amazing people.

“By the way, no huffing and blowing on it allowed, okay? You can’t enjoy the taste of the ingredients if that’s the case.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Of course, that’s a lie. Your tongue will heat up if you don’t let it cool down a little. I’m worried that a bad person will fool you if you fall for such a lie so easily…

Feeling as if I were the assassin’s parent, I watched the assassin take a bite of the takoyaki.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, I burst into chuckles. The assassin’s face turned red, and she was writhing in agony.

“Aaah…This is no good…Huffff…”

The assassin was panting with a red face. I felt so sorry for her, but how could I say it? Just seeing her eating takoyaki is a sight for my sore eyes.

I split the takoyaki with chopsticks and ate it while letting it cool down by blowing on it.

The assassin rolls her eyes at me. She stares at me while cooling her tongue with water.

“Sagami…you tricked me.”

“Thank you for the nice sight. I’d like to hear you panting in the bed too later.”

“I’ll never forgive you for that! ….Achhh!? ”

The assassin’s words are interrupted by a hot takoyaki, and the assassin is in agony again. I eat the takoyaki with the sight of the assassin panting. This is a very nice way of eating takoyaki. I thought so.

“You did this to me, not only once, but twice. I’m going to kill you for sure.”

I report to the determined assassin that my right leg is healed.

“My right leg is healed, and I’m ready for battle. Come and get me. But if the assassin loses, she will be bound with tortoise-shell bondage, and then I get to tease you.”

“Tortoise-shell bondage…? What’s that? More than that, why is your right leg healed so fast?”

“Ah… I’ll do it someday, and you’ll know. As for my legs, don’t forget that I used to be the strongest.”

The assassin was a novice. I’d forgotten that. I like it when the tough ones give in. That’s for sure.

“I guess Sagami is still an active player. No ordinary people can defeat you.”

“That’s natural.”

I say thank you to the assassin who slightly overestimated me. As we continue this idle conversation, she suddenly wonders and asks a simple question.

“And why is there more than just an octopus in a takoyaki? ”

“That’s the way to enjoy takoyaki. Look, another takoyaki is ready! ”

When the cute, round takoyaki is brought close to the assassin, the assassin turns her face away from the takoyaki in fear. Then she sticks out her tongue and says to me, a little discontentedly.

“I don’t like it hot anymore… It burns my tongue.”

“If your tongue gets burned, I’ll cool it off with a kiss.”

“It’ll get worse… I would never kiss Sagami.”

The assassin raises a flag with such a statement. When I put the takoyaki near the assassin, she backs away.

So I put the takoyaki on the plate, broke it open, and served it to her. The assassin checked if the takoyaki was not too hot with her tongue, and then she put the takoyaki into her mouth.

“Takoyaki, it’s good… ”

“Right? ”

“Yes.”

The assassin smiles widely with a single takoyaki. I think she is a simple person, but I guess I am also a simple person who is moved by her smile.
