“Alright, it’s cooked.”
First sear the hamburger patties over medium heat, then flip them and finish steaming them over low heat.
The more troublesome the process, the tastier it turns out.
It was just the right time for some soul-searching.
Mei-chan, trying to keep tabs on the lonely Risa.
Compared to that girl, Mei’s straightforward, unguarded affection gave me a sense of security.
That’s precisely why, last night, swept up in the momentum of their mutual affection, I ended up sleeping with her.
As I kept questioning myself, the phone rang.
“What?”
“I wanted to apologize about this morning. For bringing back bad memories.”
“You sure know how to call at the perfect time.”
“Being your best friend, I can read you like an open book! Especially when it comes to Loli!”
Beep (call ended)
Riiing (incoming call)
“What?”
“Hanging up like that is a bit harsh, don’t you think? I was just trying to talk since we hadn’t really talked at all…”
“You’ve got other friends, right?”
“You’re the only one I can casually talk to about stuff like this.”
“Sigh… If you weren’t a lolicon, we probably wouldn’t be this close…”
“The person I can talk about this with got arrested, you see.”
“Get him out of there already. He’s the author, right?”
“Hahaha. If I went, I’d get arrested too, wouldn’t I?”
“Then let that guy just keep reflecting on his actions.”
“That’s way too harsh… Anyway, enough of this nonsense.”
“Ah… Yeah. Since we’re here, give me some advice.”
While simultaneously grilling hamburgers, I consulted him about what I’d been thinking.
“I was just thinking… Maybe Mei-chan and Risa wouldn’t have minded if it wasn’t me, you know?”
“Do you dislike them?”
“Of course not. Quite the opposite. Unlike that guy, I feel reassured by their straightforward affection.”
“Your thinking is pretty twisted too… but considering your situation, I can see why you’d feel that way.”
Hayato paused before answering.
“True, like you said, given the circumstances with both Yozuki-san and Kuroi-san, it’s possible she was dependent on you.”
“Right? Anyone would’ve done…”
“That’s not true.”
Hayato replied firmly.
