Aozaki leveled her with a flat stare, not even bothering to watch himself as he shoved his car door shut with one hand.
“You’re a big girl now, Syo,” He said mockingly, “I guess it’s up to you to make sure you don’t drink too much.”
He was tempted to make a joke about being her mother or chaperone, but he was too pissed off. Aozaki locked the car and stalked towards the restaurant’s entrance, hands shoved deep in his pockets. He was hungry after a long day of teaching, and a bit of sake wouldn’t hurt his mood. Maybe even Syo would become more tolerable after a few drinks.
“Come on in, this place isn’t that bad.”
While the outside of the sushi bar looked somewhat unwelcoming, its interior was absolutely dismal. A collection of dusty, battered tables made up the booths section, while a counter that seemed to be left over from an old pub made up the bar section. A couple of shady figures sat in the back with a tray of egg and mackerel sushi. They smoked inside without any apparent consequences. A middle-aged man with a cap swept lazily between tables and noticed when Aozaki walked into the room.
“Oi, boss!” He waved to Aozaki, who apparently deserved such a title. “Haven’t seen ya in a while!”
The waiter blinked twice and then whistled when he spotted Tsukimi in tow.
“You brung a lady friend, boss!”
Aozaki grumbled, “She ain’t no lady friend. And quit callin’ me boss.”
He took a seat at one of the rickety tables. He didn’t gesture for Tsukimi to do the same.
“Goin’ for the regular?” Asked the waiter, an amused grin spread across old, choppy teeth.
“Yeah, and bring some sake.”
“And what’ll you have, lil’ lady?”
