Practically skipping after Reizo-niisan in his excitement, Takumi continued to eat the cookie and watched Reizo-niisan quietly as he crouched down in front of the cabinet. Still nibbling, Takumi blinked when Reizo-niisan asked him which one was prettier. Looking over at the two girls and then at Reizo-niisan, Takumi blinked again.
"Umm... Kiriko-neechan, I guess," Takumi said after a long moment. Tilting his head, he asked, "Why? Does Reizo-niisan like one of them? Or..."
His eyes grew wide, and of course his voice rose slightly. "Ehhh? I don't think I'm old enough to have a girlfriend, Reizo-niisan!"
And then he looked back over at the girls, hands still clasped around what was left of the cookie. Leaning closer to Reizo-niisan, he whispered, "Does one of them like me..?"
