Midnight Diner ~ Steakhouse (Revised)

Volume 52 (Mid-Trial) Previously: Wanna grab some late-night food together? Pei: Yeah! I just didn't know how to say it... Then why hesitate? We've been to eat before, haven't we? Me: Just say it! I don't bite! Or do I? Can't go together? Or are you gonna do something to me? Pei turned her head away... her face puffed up... Pei: No way! But it's just the two of us today. Me: Then that's perfect! If you're hungry, you eat, right? I won't tease you anymore! Let's catch up on the work progress before quitting time! Then you can leave right on time. Pei heard that... and sped up. Seeing me working slowly... Pei: Then why are you still taking your time? Me: Thinking about what to eat after work. Besides, even if I work slowly, I'm still faster than you! Pei heard that and her competitive spirit flared up again! Pei: No way! Let's have a competition! Me: Then what happens if I win? And what happens if you lose? She seemed to be thinking seriously, but in reality, she was panicking inside... Pei: The loser treats, the winner eats! Me: No! That's too easy. The loser eats, the winner treats! Seeing me smile thoughtfully, Pei felt a bad premonition! Pei: Something feels off? But I can't quite put my finger on it! It's settled then! You go first! I'll start later! I'll think about it first! Pei: What are you thinking about? Me: Thinking about what I'll have you treat me to later. Pei: You haven't even won yet, and you're already thinking about what to eat... That's too much... To be continued...
