“You are Karina’s friend….Takaaki-kun. ……”
Amamiya was nervous at the dining table where he was forced to sit half-heartedly.
This is because the woman sitting opposite him on her cheekbones had a very sharp look in her eyes and a voice with no intonation.
Her hair was the same silver colour as Karina’s, but it was cut in a short bob.
Her skin and hands were wrinkle-free and she appeared to be in her early twenties.
Her name is Nagase Arisa.
“……Karina brags a lot, so I wondered what kind of flamboyant visual kid you are, but it turns out you’re quite normal.”
“S-Sorry ……!”
Amamiya can’t help but apologize as she looks at him coldly.
“You have nothing to apologize for. In fact, it was good…”
She speaks at a slow pace, and her emotions are lacking.
Amamiya thinks of her own mother, who is clumsy and calm, and makes a rude comparison.
(Is she angry……?)
He cannot read what she is thinking.
Because he couldn’t read it, he was afraid.
“….”
Mother Arisa falls silent
But her gaze remains fixed
Amamiya feels awkward and uncomfortable.
I have to talk about something.
Yes, let’s introduce ourselves.
“Mama, Takaaki-kun, you’re scaring him. Don’t stare too much.”
“Is that so ……?”
Before he could open his mouth, Karina warned her on the side.
mother Arisa, who was warned, shifted her gaze to her and nodded her head.
“It’s not natural. Our family is used to it, but everyone who meets Mama for the first time gets scared ……, so I didn’t want him to meet you.”
“…… I see, I’m sorry.”
Mother Arisa drops her shoulders and looks down.
Her expression hasn’t changed, but maybe she’s depressed?
Amamiya thought inwardly.
‘Ha ha ha! I’m sorry, Takaaki kun! Our mama is a person who doesn’t show her emotions on her face! She says what she thinks right away, too! Well, to put it another way, she’s an honest person without a backside! Ha ha ha ha!”
Mikhail, who is cooking in his apron, follows up.
Ah, I see, Amamiya understands.
The image of Karina, once in the back of the classroom, listening to music and looking out, comes back to her.
Speaking honestly about what she thinks and being salty about her disinterest.
Could it be that she inherited that personality from her mother?
The good looks part is also firmly in her genes.
“My daughter tells me a lot about you. She tells me so much about you that I have calluses on my ears. ……”
“Hey! Mama! Don’t tell anyone about that!”
“Takaaki-kun was so cool that day. Takaaki-kun was so cute that day. People around him sometimes say bad things about him, but he’s a hard worker and kinder than most…”
“Kyaaaaaa! Do not say that in front of him! Mama idiot!”
The mother, Arisa, ignoring her daughter who was about to cry, continued with the same expression on her face.
“Thank you for being good friends with my daughter ……, please continue to be good friends with her and get to know her better.”
Saying this, the mother bowed her head.
Amamiya hurriedly stood up and apologetically returned.
“N-no! If anything, I’m the one who wants to thank her …… for being friendlier to me! From now on, as a friend, no …… best friend, I want to be closer to her than ever before!”
There is no lie in my heart that I think so.
The mother, Arisa, looked up and, with a strong gaze
“Yes, I feel safe.”
(Nn ……?)
Is it my imagination?
It was as if her lips had parted.
It was so instantaneous that it is not clear whether she actually smiled.
But I was happy because I felt as if I had been recognised.
“It’s ready! It’s curry! Eat it up!”
What was put in front of me was a vegetable curry.
I thought there would be stuff like borscht, but it was a normal family dish.
Mikhail onii san also joined us at the table.
Since everyone is present, we decide to start eating.
Amamiya puts his hands together, says itadakimasu and thanks the ingredients, and brings the curry to his mouth.
(Delicious ！！！！！！！！！！！！！)
The taste is so much better than imagined that Amamiya almost tears his clothes off.
Actually, that’s not true, but that’s how delicious it is.
He would be an embarrassed bride, Even though he’s a man
“Another round..”
As Amamiya was about to take his second bite, Arisa, whose cheeks were puffed out like a squirrel across from him, had already finished her curry.
How fast she was! he had no time to be surprised and she already asked Mikhail, who had not even started eating yet, for a second helping.
“Mouu, it’s in front of my friend, eat more slowly! It’s embarrassing!”
“Hmm, I thought I was eating slower than usual, ……”
“More, much more! Slowly!”
Amamiya and her older brother Mikhail watched the interaction between parent and child with a smile on their faces.
Karina has been saying “I’m embarrassed, I’m embarrassed” for a while now, but she seemed to be having a little fun.
They’re a close family.
Ten seconds later.
“…… another serving.”
Arisa, brings a flattened plate
She is still not satisfied.
Although she was upset, Karina began to eat the curry without saying anything more.
The bite is small and cute.
(She didn’t inherit the part where she eats a lot, did she? ……)
