Falling in Love with a Sick Girlfriend Twenty Years Younger Than Me

Ah, the store manager has already brought all the sukiyaki tableware, and the little waiter behind him is still holding the dishes we are going to eat next.

......Um?

Why do I always feel that the two of us have more food than the three next to us? Is there something wrong?

I saw that the shop manager approached my ear with a mysterious face, and whispered to me: "Thanks to you for taking care of me at that time, let me treat you today, you can eat whatever you want! If you don't have enough, ask for more, just take care of it!" "

"..."

Obviously it comes from the kindness from the heart of others, but why do I feel unbearable throbbing pain in my heart?

Seeing my sad expression, Asuna looked at the ingredients excitedly, looking impatient.

hateful! ! ...Next time, I must eat it back, mouth teeth! !

"Hurry up, put the dishes aside, Xiaoxing! Then follow me to the back kitchen to process the ingredients!" The store manager said to the clerk behind him with a serious face.

......small star?

I always feel like I have heard this name somewhere, is it my illusion?

"Ahhh, I see, idiot grandpa...Hihhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

After putting all the dishes on the table, the clerk's face hidden by the ingredients finally appeared in front of me.The moment I saw her true face, I completely panicked.

"Ms. Tsukishima!?"

"Huh?"

The body of the clerk whose name was called by me, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly became stiff.Slowly, slowly turned his gaze to me.

"Yes, it's you! You two rude people!!"

Ms. Tsukishima from the photo studio, why did she appear here!

My heart is at a loss.

----------

"How did you appear here!?"

Ms. Tsukishima looked at us angrily. Compared to her who was in shock, Asuna and I looked even more exciting.

Even Asuna lowered her head in shame, hid her face behind the menu, and dared not look at her anymore.

——Didn't she run a photo studio?Why is it here! ?Don't worry about the photo studio! ?

Regarding this, I first nodded to the timid Asuna with a tangled face, then turned to Ms. Tsukishima and asked, "Aren't you at the photo studio? Why did you come here?"

Ms. Yue Dao seemed unwilling to talk to me, but after seeing the gloomy expression of the store manager, she could only reply unwillingly: "Tsk, the photo studio is a side business, and this is the main business." Open a store there during the day, and return to the store after dusk to help grandpa, can't you!"

"Ah, that's how it is." I nodded in agreement, and said, "Ms. Yuedao is the granddaughter of the store manager. No wonder there is always an inexplicable sense of intimacy."

The store manager did say his name, but it was too long and I forgot.I do remember, he was called 'Tsukishima Daisuke'... right?

It's surprising that the granddaughter of the store manager opened a photo studio with his treasured camera... Although, she is more suitable for painting.

But rather than being surprised, it's better for me to solve the misunderstanding between her and Asuna now, right?Judging by her expression, it looks like she can't wait to swallow Asuna alive!If we don't resolve the misunderstanding quickly, I'm afraid--

boom--! !

"Wow! It hurts!!—Grandpa, what are you doing!"

Ms. Yuedao was slapped on the head by the store manager without warning, and before she finished complaining, the annoyed store manager reprimanded her.

"You still have the nerve to ask why! You idiot!" The store manager looked like he hated iron and steel, and said loudly: "Do you ever talk to customers like that! Ah!? No matter what kind of trouble he has with you outside, as long as When you enter the store, you are a customer, do you know that!"

"But, but!—"

"I don't care about anything but!" interrupted the granddaughter's explanation roughly, the store manager continued: "It's probably because you are causing trouble to others again? This is not the first time you have done this! Help me in the back kitchen ! Don't come out until I tell you to come out!"

Hearing this, Miss Yue Dao looked at her grandfather with grief and indignation, then gave us a hard look, snorted coldly and left.

Mr. Store Manager sighed heavily.But I'm sorry, this time it's really our fault.

"That..." I tried to talk to him: "Is it a bit too strict? Mr. Store Manager?"

"Ah? You said her. Hehe, I'm really sorry to let you see a joke."

The store manager showed a generous smile, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I can't always be by her side, and it's only a matter of time before I leave this world. It's also a good thing to let her know the cruelty of society in advance. "

"..."

What does this sentence mean?

I was thinking with a heavy heart.

Ms. Tsukishima's age and appearance are different, she is already in her 20s, so how old should she be as her grandfather's store manager?

Calculated according to the current average marriage age in Japan of around 30 years old, he is almost in his 80s.Even if you get married earlier than this data, it will not be lower than 70 years old.

Even in Japan, where old people generally live long lives, this is definitely considered an advanced age.It's just that compared to the general old people at this age who have already spent their lives at home, he can still make money by opening a shop with his own body.

It turned out that he was worried that his granddaughter would not be able to adapt to this cruel and complicated society after he left this world, so he taught her such a severe lesson...

What a kind and gentle grandpa, Mr. Store Manager.

Looking in the direction of the somewhat noisy back kitchen, the store manager suddenly said: "Then, please use it slowly. You really know how to use the pot, right?"
