I’ve had a lot going on today and I’m half stressed out.
I’m going to relieve stress by playing a fighting game with my sister for the first time in a while. If I beat her to a pulp..
You’re dead ! I’m gonna get you.
N-now.
“Hey, little sister.”
“What’s the matter, brother?”
“Would you like to try it at least once? A quick deathblow.”
“Well then, I’ll think about it if you receive Chun chan’s Hou-you-sen.”
“Oh, wait, that’s the one that will kill you if you take it now.”
I was beaten to a pulp.
It was a mistake to challenge my sister to a fight.
She is too strong. If this happens, I’ll beat up the weakest CPU later.
“Fufu, I’m really glad you two are so close.”
The person who was watching our exchange from the table behind us was Takeda san, who is currently on a diet.
It’s Friday and we are having curry today. She seemed to be observing us in the free time she had during the simmering process.
The reason why we have curry on Fridays is because my mother, who has the next day off, makes a large stock of it in a small skillet so that she doesn’t have to cook breakfast the next day.
If anything, lunch could also be curry.
Actually, my sister and I are supposed to make curry together, but we’ve been given the opportunity to thank her for her hospitality.
“Do you wanna try gaming, Takeda san?”
“No, it’s more fun to watch the two of you play. It’s almost time to finish stewing, so I’m going back to the kitchen.”
As soon as Takeda san returns to the kitchen, the delicious smell of curry wafts through the air. Apparently,s he’s thrown in some curry roux.
The ingredients used are the same, and even Takeda san, as expected, will get the usual taste. That’s what I thought……
“What’s this…Takeda san, did you use high quality ingredients? No, you don’t have to do that.”
“No, I just made it with the ingredients you gave me…..”
“Chizuru Onee chan, will you marry to our family?”
This is the second time she said that. No wonder my sister is asking her that.
Why is this so different from the curry we made, even though the curry roux we use is the same?
Is this something like if you drop the curry you made into the fountain, a goddess will appear and say, ‘Is it this gold curry you dropped? Or the silver curry?’
If you say, ‘No, I dropped the poop-colored curry’ you get the gold curry. Otherwise, there is no explanation for this quality.
“Takeda san, you can’t do that. If it’s this good, I’m going to have lots of second helpings. Then I won’t have breakfast tomorrow. What are you gonna do about it?”
“I don’t know if I’m being blamed or thanked because my emotions are all mixed up.”
“Chizuru Onee chan, I’ll bring the marriage certificate tomorrow.”
Calm down, sister, who’s going to sign it?
Me? I’m the only one.
But we can’t get married yet. Legally.
“Takede san is on a diet, so she can’t eat.”
“Yes, commercial curry roux has a lot of fat, so it’s no good for me on a diet. Besides, carbohydrates must be moderate.”
“Speaking of which, until when do you want to lose weight?”
Takede san showed a slight air of thought before answering the question.
“I’d like to lose weight by the end of the summer vacation, if not to my original body shape, then to something close to it.”
Summer vacation is just around the corner.
That’s six weeks in terms of the time since Takeda san started her diet.
It’s a relatively short diet, so it’s up to the individual to decide how much she wants to change.
“I’ll be rooting for you. I’ll be rooting for you.”
“Thank you. So……um…..I have a favor to ask of Sahara kun.”
“Hm? What is it?”
That’s unusual, Takeda san has a favor to ask. I’ll listen to anything.
Takeda san is kind of fidgety. Cute.
“If….I could lose an amazing amount of weight, would you do me a favor?
“Yeah, okay. What should I do?”
“It’s still a secret…I’ll use that as motivation to do my best.”
I’ll help whatever I can.
I’ll even grant her request to show me her search history if I can.
“Got it.”
“Also, I’m going to try to avoid seeing Sahara kun during the summer vacation.”
“Why?”
“Because I wanna surprise you.”
So you want to lose weight and surprise me.
If I watched it every day before then, it would be hard to notice any big changes.
Well, as long as she comes to my house, it would be impossible for me not to see her at all.
“Well, I’m off to the training room.”
“Have a good day.”
In the few days leading up to summer vacation, I continued to watch Takeda san go from the living room to the training room.
*****
I was relaxing in my room when my phone rang.
What, a reminder from my mother to study? That’s sweet, I’m not motivated today.
I picked up my phone a little dully, but I bounced out of bed in an instant. There is only one person in this world who can wake me up right now.
[You kun, I saw you holding hands with Takeda san at lunch today. ….you didn’t do something naughty, did you?]
Oh shit, Tachibana san saw us.
I didn’t do anything naughty.
[Really? Takeda san is always sneaky. Please hold hands with me too. Let’s go on a date tomorrow.]
Why is this…is it a curse that makes me unable to sleep? I didn’t reply for a while, desperately trying to understand the question.
No, it’s too difficult to understand.
