“Well, I’m going to put my luggage down and get ready before I go to Takuma’s room, okay?”
“Okay. It’s still a little early to cook dinner, so take your time.”
“Yeah, I’ll see you later.”
We rode the elevator together and got off on the sixth floor. After that exchange, we parted ways and went inside our own homes.
I went straight to the kitchen, took out the food I had bought at the supermarket from the plastic bag in my hand, and put it in the refrigerator.
Then I go back to my room, put my backpack on the floor, and hang the blazer I was wearing on a hanger in the closet.
“While I’m waiting for Alice, I’ll at least cook some rice.”
I’ve only cooked in home economics cooking classes, but I should be able to do that without a problem. I moved to the kitchen, sharpened the rice, put it in the rice cooker, and filled it with water according to the scale.
Then I press the start button on the rice cooker, and the rice is ready to cook. As soon as I heard the rice cooker start cooking, I heard a sound like the door being unlocked from the front door. It was probably Alice, who had finished the preparations.
“Excuse me”
“Hey, wait a minute. What’s that big package you’re carrying in your hand?”
I had picked Alice up at the front door, but when I saw the large bag she was carrying, I couldn’t help but poke my head into the room. If she had only come to cook dinner, there would be no need for such a large bag.
“I’m going to stay in Takuma’s room today, so there are a lot of preparations in there for that.”
“Eh, you’re planning to stay the night?!”
Alice’s sudden statement startled me and I unintentionally shouted that. Alice then made a blank expression and opened her mouth.
“Huh, didn’t I tell you about that on the way home?”
“No, no, no. I haven’t heard a single word about it, and this is completely new to me.”
“Well, then I guess that means I just said it.”
I don’t know if she really forgot to say it or if she is pretending to forget to say it on purpose to enjoy my reaction. But I think it’s not a good idea to have a sleepover.
“By the way, let me ask you, are you serious?”
“Of course I am, I’ve even prepared well for it.
Alice spoke while showing off the bag she was holding. It would be extremely difficult to convince Alice in this situation, but I thought it would be a good idea to do nothing, so I tried to resist.
“But we’re the opposite sex, and I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to stay here alone together, do you?”
“We’ve already kissed, and we’ve seen each other naked, so it’s not that big of a deal.”
After saying that, Alice didn’t bother at all. It seems like she won’t give it a second thought. Realizing that it would be pointless to say anything more, I started talking about dinner, which was my original purpose
“…… I’ve already cooked the rice in the rice cooker for now.”
“Ok, I’ll take care of the rest, and Takuma can relax in his room.”
Alice spoke to me while changing into a black apron that she took out from her bag.
“Is it okay if I don’t help you with anything?”
“Yes, it’s not that hard to make curry and rice.”
“Then I’ll take your word for it.”
I decided that it would be no problem at all if I didn’t help out, so I left Alice to do the cooking and went back to my room. About an hour or so after I sat down at my desk and started prepping for tomorrow’s class, Alice came into my room wearing an apron.
“Thank you for waiting, dinner’s ready.”
“Wow, it smells so good.”
Alice opened the door and the delicious smell wafted into my room, which whetted my appetite to the utmost. This must definitely be promising.
I got up from my chair and headed for the dining room, where on the table there was curry and rice for two, along with some vegetables to go with it.
“Come on, come on, try it.”
“Itadakimasu.”
Alice urged me to take a bite of the curry and rice.
“It tastes so good.”
“Yes, I made sure it was flavored just the way Takuma likes it.”
Surprisingly, the curry and rice that Alice made had a frighteningly perfect taste to my liking. It’s true that we had talked a little bit about what flavors we liked beforehand, but I honestly never thought she be able to recreate it to this extent with all that verbal information.
It was as if she had made curry rice with this flavor many times before. It was so delicious that the meal went by so fast that I finished it in no time at all.
“Ah, there’s enough for another helping,”
“You’re so prepared.”
“I knew Takuma would definitely want another helping, so I made more.”
Apparently, she had anticipated that much. I’ve been thinking for a while now, but maybe Alice understands my behavioral patterns too much.
I think she may know more about me than my family members, my mom and dad, and I’m even a little scared of her.
With this in mind, I handed the plate to Alice and took another serving. Needless to say, I finished my second bowl of curry and rice in an instant.
