“Sendo-kun, do you mind if I cook dinner for you tonight?”
I was inwardly pleased to hear this unexpected suggestion.
I agreed to Yamanashi’s proposal with two words. I have been living on my own since I came to the school, but it is a bit tedious to cook three meals a day. However, I am also concerned about the price of eating out or getting bento boxes at convenience stores or supermarkets. Even if I do my best to cook for myself, I feel mentally exhausted. It has been a year in which I realized how precious the happiness of having a meal prepared by someone else is.
While waiting for Yamanashi to come to the kitchen, I decided to watch the news. I turned on the TV, and as I expected, they were reporting on Yamanashi’s disappearance. The reason for her disappearance had not been made public, and it was causing controversy among the public.
“After all, this is an emotionally sensitive time for her. It’s not surprising that she might be fed up with her job.”
A pompous old man appears with the title of psychotherapist. As I have said before, it is hard to imagine Yamanashi getting tired of her job. It is useless for anyone other than the person herself to mention it, since it is only a matter of speculation. Well, that’s what TV stations are supposed to do, isn’t it?
“Really, they say whatever they like.”
“…. If you say you were avenging someone you loved, that would be a problem, too. Why didn’t you just lie about it?”
“It’s better to let them say what they want. It’ll be troublesome if I lie and make people think otherwise.”
The risk management is what you’d expect from a popular model. …… No, she’s out of the game when she’s in the room of a boy from the same school.
“Is it okay for a popular model who is causing a stir in the world to come to a high school boy’s room?”
“I told you before. That is what I am trying to do.”
……I guess we should be careful on our way home from now on. Why should I care, not her?
After a few minutes of waiting, the food appeared on the table. Cheese hamburger, potato salad, apple, and consomme soup. Yeah, that’s it. It’s the ideal three-course meal, and it’s all my favorite foods. I guess it was not by chance but by calculation because it was this person’s thing.
“…. now that you mention it, you can cook.”
“I’ve been practicing for this occasion when I’m going to serve it to Sendou-kun. I can guarantee the taste…Now, let’s eat it before it gets cold.”
The two of us join hands and start eating. Perhaps because it had been a long time since I had eaten someone else’s cooking, I felt somewhat excited.
Using chopsticks, I cut the hamburger steak into bite-sized pieces and put them in my mouth. The more I bit into the hamburger, the more juicy and delicious it was. The potato salad and soup were filled with a sense of happiness that I could not get when I made them myself. This must be what human warmth is all about.
“How…..?”
“Delicious. I could eat this every day and not get tired of it.”
“……! Does that mean you want to get married ……? Fufu, you’re too quick, Sendou-kun.”
……Ah, shoot. I’ve stepped on a landmine. If I think about it, I’m …… going to be careful about what I say. If I’m not careful, I’ll be forced to get engaged.
“Yes, ahhnn”
“……, are you serious?”
“I’m serious. I’ve always wanted to try this. …… eat?”
Needless to say, I felt pressured to do anything. Although it was forced, the other party is her. Inwardly, my heart was pounding
Yamanashi picks up a piece of hamburger steak with her chopsticks and offers it to me. Do this count as kissing? …… Don’t think about unnecessary things. I’m lost. I closed my eyes and opened my mouth.
“Ahhhh…….”
I chew the hamburger steak in my mouth. I was not sure what it tasted like, probably because I had been thinking about something strange.
“How is it?””
“….. can’t taste it.”
As I chewed a little more, my vision suddenly shook. I rubbed my eyes to see if there was any debris in them, but the shimmering widened as I tried to rub it, and my vision curved.
“Oh… something …….”
She grinned as my vision flickered. I thought the hamburger earlier had a strange taste, but that’s what it was. I was careless on my part.
“You…..did…it”
“Fufu, good night.”
I fell down on the table without any effort. I let go of my consciousness before I had time to resist.
