When I arrived at the supermarket, which was as exquisitely far away as ever, I found one gal near the entrance with a beautiful girl aura …… Well, needless to say, I’m talking about Yukikawa.
If there were a flashy and pretty gal in front of a supermarket in the countryside in such an evening, it would normally be likely to be approached by Yankees and the like, but …… apparently the area is surprisingly safe.
If I look closely, I can see that Yukikawa is standing there holding a large shopping bag with both hands.
(What? Did she take my advice yesterday and decide to cook and eat properly?)
I approach Yukikawa, impressed that she is surprisingly attentive.
“H-Hey. Yukikawa, did I keep you waiting?”
“………….”
When I spoke to her, for some reason, Yukikawa made a puzzled face.
“W-What is it? What is that face?”
“Slow …… I came here and waited here for five minutes and fifty-two seconds after I finished my shopping.”
“Five minutes ……52 seconds …….”
“I don’t think it’s nice to make a girl wait, right?”
Wow, she’s like a troublesome girlfriend. …… I had cleaning duty after school, and therefore, I’d like to be forgiven for five minutes.
“Haa …… sorry for making you wait. I had cleaning duty too.”
“It’s great that you can apologise.”
says Yukikawa with satisfaction.
No, what kind of person is this gal from just now!?
“What’s with that shopping bag? Did it make you feel like cooking?”
“This? These are …… ingredients for you to cook with.”
“Ha…..?”
I can’t understand what Yukikawa is saying, and my face hardens.
This plastic bag full of ingredients for …… me to cook, you say?
“Your cooking skills are great …… so I want you to cook my dinner with it tonight too.”
She turns around and comes in all praise of me. …… I simply don’t like it. It’s a hassle.
“No, why do you like my cooking so much in the first place? Even primary schools kids make soup like that for cooking lessons.”
“It can’t be. That soup was definitely a full-course meal in my life.”
“Hey, ……, you’re suddenly talking like that. If you include something like that in the full course of your life, you’ll be slapped down later on for being a bit of a loser.”
And the catch level is well estimated at about three.
“I don’t know about that, but …… is it possible that Kajimoto doesn’t want to serve me food?”
I’d like to say straight out, ‘Yes, I don’t like it,……,’ but if I refused, Yukikawa’s character is likely to cause another stir,…… like the one this morning.
That was a mystery too, and now I want to hear from Yukikawa how she feels about Haruhara. ……
“I-I get it. If you like it that much, I can make you something again. ……”
“Really? Phew. ……, that’s a negotiation.”
Was there room for negotiation?
“Well then, I’m heading to Kajimoto’s house, is that alright?”
“Okay, but …… was it okay to buy so many ingredients? It was expensive.”
Even just yesterday, Yukikawa had been eating nothing but bread as a side dish.
I thought it was for economic reasons, but… no matter how impressed you are with my cooking, this amount of ingredients is probably too much.
“Don’t worry, …… I also get food for dinner every day.”
“Eh, food money?”
“I get 2,000 yen …… for lunch and dinner every day from my parents before I leave home.”
Eh! Two thousand yen every day!
No, this girl is normally luxurious!
Even a lunch set at the school cafeteria costs 500 yen per meal, so if you use that lunch set for lunch, you can certainly eat a decent dinner there with the remaining 1,500 yen.
“No, then why did you only eat that 150 yen deli bread yesterday? That’s crazy!”
“Ah, that was …….”
“Hmm?”
“I’m saving ……. My favourite brands of clothes, my favourite cosmetics and …… other things cost a lot more than I thought.”
The idea of saving money by cutting back on one’s meal money is too much for a high school girl of her age. ……
It’s true that this high school doesn’t allow part-time work, and I could see how the gals must be struggling as gals too.
“Huh…I thought your family was going through a lot of trouble, so I cooked for that one. 2000 yen a day is too much for a normal good family.”
“…… what? Complaining?”
“Not that I’m complaining.”
“I’ll tell you, …… even if you have money, there’s a lot of things you don’t have.”
Yukikawa says while looking straight at me with a serious face.
She’s getting serious…
“My parents are both parents who live for their work, and I’ve always been a dinner …… by myself.”
“Eh ……?”
“So yesterday, when I ate your cooking and had a hot meal next to you,…… I knew I wasn’t alone and how good a hot dinner tastes. So I want to eat that …… again today.”
Yukikawa cracked her long eyelashes, bit her lip and said.
I can’t believe that that Yukikawa was …… thinking about such a thing.
“……O-okay, okay. For now, I’ll let you use as many of these ingredients as you like, okay?”
“Y-yeah….”
Yukikawa nodded her head with a small smile on her face again, just like the last time.
I’ll let housewife take care of me again. This is.
“Ah, yes. To begin with I was wondering about you and Haruhara.”
“…… Haruhara-san has been a childhood friend of mine since kindergarten.”
“C-childhood friend?!”
“Well, we’ve hardly ever spoken.”
No, I think that’s just classmates now, not childhood friends. ……
“But …… I’ve always ‘hated’ being with Haruhara-san.”
“Eh?”
Yukikawa whispered so.
