Chapter 53
A Feast for the Eyes

He got a haircut, learned how to style his hair, and then changed to a pair of thinner, plain glasses.

His clothes didn't change, but his external image had been completely altered by the change in hairstyle and glasses.

Suzuki Sonoko was beaming as she watched Amamiya walking beside her.

"Hmm, as expected of me, this image is exactly what I had in mind."

"...Suzuki-san, you've been staring at me the whole way here, don't you get tired?"

"No way, I wouldn't get tired."

"Only greasy things would make someone tired of looking at them. Your aura and image are not greasy at all, how could you ever be tiring to look at?"

A handsome face never gets tiring to look at.

After clearing his bangs, his face finally came into view.

Suzuki Sonoko was grateful for her ability to judge handsome guys at this moment. Without that ability, how could she have this date today?

"Grrr..."

Aside from excitement, her stomach was also feeling a little hungry.

She checked the time, and it was already noon without her realizing it.

"Amamiya, let's go grab something to eat first. We'll talk about the afternoon's schedule after we eat."

"Okay."

This time, Suzuki Sonoko didn't go to a restaurant with a strong ambiance, one suitable for a date, but chose a roadside family restaurant.

The food was also ordinary, just a standard single-person set meal.

"Mmm, I'm full, I'm full."

After eating, Suzuki Sonoko felt so much better.

She also ate a lot today.

She looked at Amamiya sitting across from her.

Ah, she understood why she could eat more than usual today.

There's a word called "beauty is delicious".

This word can be used not only for girls, but also for boys.

Looking at beautiful things, people's appetites will also be better.

In the past, Suzuki Sonoko felt that this saying was quite far-fetched.

But not today.

Today she finally realized the true meaning of this word.

"What are you staring at me for?"

Amamiya Ren simply felt uncomfortable and unaccustomed to being stared at.

After all, his usual sense of presence was really low, and he wasn't used to being stared at by girls all the time.

"Of course I'm looking at a handsome guy~"

"..."

"Suzuki-san, I'm actually pretty ordinary."

Hearing these self-deprecating words, Suzuki Sonoko kicked him lightly on the shin with her foot.

"Amamiya, you have to be confident about your looks."

"I'm a certified appearance-obsessed person, you know."

"You've got my approval, you have to believe your looks are really good."

Suzuki Sonoko was also having a headache. Amamiya underestimated his own looks.

He clearly looks good.

If he was in school with his current image, there would definitely be girls in school who would come up to him.

She knew how popular Kudou was in school.

Although there was also the reason that Kudou often appeared on TV, another part of it was because he looked pretty good himself.

"Mmm, but I don't want you to be stared at by other girls, either."

"Suzuki-san, I think you're overthinking this."

"Even if I look good, it's not like I'm going to be stared at by so many girls."

Are there so many obsessed girls in the world?

Amamiya Ren thought that there weren't that many girls like that.

Even Suzuki Sonoko, who was quite appearance-obsessed, wasn't actually a crazy fan.

"Amamiya, you really don't have a clear understanding of girls."

Suzuki Sonoko shook her head slightly.

She could probably understand that Amamiya's understanding of girls was at a very basic level.

Amamiya probably didn't know how serious girls could be when it came to being crazy fans.

"But it's okay, you'll understand once you see those crazy fans' reactions later."

Suzuki Sonoko wasn't in a hurry.

Now Amamiya underestimated himself, but he would understand once he saw some crazy fans in the future.

「I really don't want to run into them.」

Amamiya Ren really didn't want to have much contact with other crazy fan girls.

It was best to have as little contact as possible.

"By the way."

"Ran told me what she got, Amamiya, do you know what that big ice cube Shiho and that arrogant little brat Sanzen'in got?"

"In that case, I think only the people involved would know."

"I have a diary, but I haven't intentionally monitored the diary holders' functions."

"As for what they got, I think the first thing they got should be the most relevant to themselves."

"Hmm, that's true."

Knowing what kind of power Ran got, Suzuki Sonoko felt that this judgment was accurate.

"However, Ran seems to be having a hard time because of that power."

"In the past, she had a normal appetite, but suddenly she became a big eater. She's been worrying recently about whether she should go out and find a job."

"Fortunately, she's moved out now."

"Otherwise, with just Mouri-san's income, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to support Ran's current appetite."

She was lucky enough to witness Ran's terrifying appetite yesterday.

Those were the portions for three or four grown men, and she actually ate them all without even a bulge in her stomach.

It's just that Suzuki Sonoko was also quite envious of this ability.

Hmm, most girls were envious of Ran's ability.

She could eat anything without gaining weight. She could eat so much, but she couldn't see any evidence of it.

Just thinking about what Ran said about her "big eater" trait and what she was thinking about, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but laugh.

The "big eater" trait made Ran's meal expenses increase exponentially. This was a drain that ordinary families couldn't handle.

"Fortunately, she's living with Eri-san now."

"With Eri-san's high income, she should be able to handle Ran's big appetite easily."

"It's just that Ran is stubborn, she should have asked Eri-san for more money. She insists on going out to find a part-time job to earn extra money."

Sighing, Suzuki Sonoko understood Ran's thoughts.

"She doesn't want to trouble Eri-san, right?"

"But how come she doesn't know that the money she earns from her part-time job won't be enough. With her current appetite, I'm afraid all the money she earns from working part-time won't be enough."

"That's probably Mouri's personality."

"Of course, I think part of it is also due to her family environment."

Amamiya Ren reminded her.

"Hmm, that's definitely possible."

"Mouri-san is unreliable in many ways, which made Ran develop the habit of working hard on her own."

Suzuki Sonoko also agreed.

But she couldn't help her in this regard.

Because she knew Ran would refuse.
