"Oh!" Megumi said looking behind Soma so you looked too and saw Kurokiba and Alice.

"Ara! (Reader)-chan!!" Alice beamed and rushed to hug you; which you gladly returned.

"Kurokiba-kun, Nakiri-san?" Megumi said.

"You came to look at Pacific saury, too?" Soma asked. "What a coincidence!"

"Wow! Kuro, Alice you look like new wedded couples strolling in the market." you beamed. Alice let go of you and pouted while Kurokiba pinched your cheeks. "Ittai!"

Kurokiba looked at Soma while still pinching your cheeks. "What coincidence? I've been coming here practically every day." Kurokiba informed.

"I only come sometimes." Alice muttered while yawning. "The fish market opens too early in the morning!"

"Oh, but it's not just about gauging with the eye." Soma said as he touched each fish. "There's a way to tell by touch, too!" Soma took a fish and held it by its tail. "Look."

"Oh! Sugoi! Even though you're holding it by the tail it's standing straight up!" Megumi beamed. "It's proof that the flesh is still firm!"

"The eyes and belly look fresh too. Without a doubt, this is the best Pacific saury this shop has to offer today!" Soma replied then Kurokiba held the fish.

"You're wrong. I'll take this one." Kurokiba said as he took a Pacific saury. "You don't look convinced."

"You guys, I'm hungry." you groaned then your stomach growled which made them look at you. "Ehe?"

"Uhmm.. Etto... doshiyo..." Megumi said panicking while Alice laughed at you.

"If we make sashimi with these two fish, you can tell which one's of higher quality, and which one of us has the more discerning eye." Kurokiba said.

Both Soma and Kurokiba wore their bandanas. "Sorry for doing this at your storefront." Megumi apologized to the store owner.

"Oh, it's fine since they're Totsuki students." Both Kurokiba and Soma then started slicing the fish carefully but fast. Everyone on the market stared at them amazed.

They both removed their headbands when they finished. "Try them, (Nickname), Tadakoro Megumi." Kurokiba said. Megumi took one of each and ate it.

"Ah! Soma-kun's Pacific saury... is less firm." she commented which made Soma surprised. While Alice was explaining you sneaked and ate the sashimis.

"Wahh Yummy." you said then Kurokiba pinched your cheeks.

"All you do is eat." Kurokiba said.

"All chu do ish pinch mah cheeks." you replied while chewing the fish. Kurokiba continued doing it while staring at you as you looked at Alice who was explaining.

"Well, not that it matters to me." Kurokiba replied to Alice.

"What's with that?! I went through the trouble of explaining it for you!" Alice exclaimed so, you laughed.

"You two really look like a couple." you said so Alice huffed her cheeks.

"I don't like Ryo-kun! Besides, Ryo-kun likes (Reader)-chan, right Ryo-kun?" Alice asked.
