Twenty minutes later, the dishes were laid out on the table.
Today’s menu consisted of ginger pork, miso soup with tofu and wakame seaweed, and fried eggs. I think the ginger pork turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.
The miso soup and fried eggs smelled really good, as you’d expect from something made by Nanase.
“It turned out well.”
“Yeah, it’s pretty good. Thanks to Nanase’s help.”
“Fufu, thanks. Let’s eat.”
“Yeah, let’s do that.”
The two of them sat down at the table.
Then we clasped their hands together at the same time.

I picked up the bowl of miso soup and took a sip.
The flavor of bonito and the umami of miso spread in my mouth.
…Delicious.
I didn’t expect the broth to turn out this well.
As I thought before, Nanase is much better at cooking than I am. Compared to me, she’s almost insultingly good.
The fried egg retained the natural flavor of the eggs while also having a light soy sauce flavor, making it exquisite.
After eating all of Nanase’s dishes, I felt a little uneasy and glanced at her.
But contrary to my worries, she was eating the ginger pork I made with great relish.
“It’s delicious ! This is really tasty !”
“I’m glad…the fried egg and miso soup you made are also delicious.”
“Do you like my cooking?”
“…Yes, I do. …I don’t think I could be satisfied with anyone else’s cooking besides Nanase’s.”
I said, feeling a little embarrassed.
I know it’s not my style to say things like that.
But I still wanted to say what I was actually thinking.
Then Nanase blushed and curled the ends of her hair.
“T-thank you…I didn’t think you would like it so much.”
Was she blushing?
She sometimes shows a cute side of herself.
“Are you not used to being praised?”
“At home, it was just something I was expected to do.”
“I see, just like me. I was raised to be able to live on my own. Cooking with someone else was a new experience for me.”
“I had fun cooking with you today. You had fun too, right?”
She said with a gentle smile.
Indeed, cooking with Nanase was far more enjoyable than cooking alone.
“Yeah, it was fun. Plus, eating with Nanase makes the food taste so much better than usual.”
“Y-yeah…me too…eating with you somehow fills my heart.”
“Hmph, same here.”
“Fufu, same here.”
The two of us looked at each other and laughed.
