Episode 22

“How can a fried egg be like that…… That’s what they called scrambled egg, right?”

“Even if you said that, it can’t be helped, since it happened this way.”

I thought to myself, staring at the messed up eggs. Well, I’ve never really done any real cooking.

“Well, you’ll just have to get better at it from now on. I can teach you if you like. I’m a woman who doesn’t even know what sugar and salt are……”

Saying this, Sawa chan laughed self-deprecatingly. It was a tempting offer for me

An offer that kills two birds with one stone: being able to legally stay with Sawa chan and even getting better at cooking.

“Then, can you teach me how to show affection? Sawa chan’s hamburgers were delicious, and I figured there was a secret to them……”

I said so, and Sawa chan answered shyly and bashfully, scratching her cheeks with her fingers.

 “I’m sure you’ll be able to find a way to make it work.”

With that said, she vigorously dipped the salad into the cold water. The water splashed on herself and she wiped it with her sleeve. Sawa chan’s reddened face made her look even cuter.

“If I do that, I’ll be so absorbed in my fantasy of Sawa chan that I won’t be able to cook.”

“Oh, enough ! Enough with kind of flattery…..I mean, unbelievable.

While we were having such a silly conversation, I smelled a burning smell coming from somewhere. I looked into Sawa chan’s face, and her face was turning more and more pale.

“The bread !”

When I took it out, something black that had passed the point of being savory was taken out. Sawa chan was depressed, and her back was curled up.

“I’m sorry …… I did it.”

She bowed her head apologetically.

“It’s totally fine. Just being able to eat it with Sawa-chan is delicious. Besides, it looks better after I removed the burnt bits with a spoon.”

When I said that, Sawa chan smiled at me. I like it better when she smiles than when she looks apologetic.

“Well, that’s right. But I never thought I would screw up like this……. It’s definitely Sho’s fault !”

Sawa chan said as she bit into a piece of bread.

“You’re right. I wonder if you were fantasizing about my smile?”

As I said that, Sawa chan choked on her bread and coughed.

“Gohohoho! H-huh !? I’m not. Let’s go to school already……”

Sawa chan drank her coffee and got up from her seat. Apparently, she also ate the scrambled eggs that I made.

“Well, I bet the fried eggs were good, too, weren’t they?’

He said while twirling the ends of her hair and playing with his fingertips. Sho muttered as he saw Sawa chan leave.

“She’s so precious that I’m going to die……”
