“Welcome.”
Rika’s clear voice echoed through the restaurant. I, who was waiting in the kitchen, could hear it too.
“Two guests, this way, please.”
It was lunchtime and there were a good number of customers. We run a small private restaurant, so we have a lot of regulars.
After waiting for a while, an order came in from Rika.
“One iced coffee, one hot cocoa, and two meat sauces.”
“Okay.”
＊ ＊ ＊
Rika and I got married in our sophomore year of college. That was exactly one year ago.
Rika’s obsession with me was as strong as ever, and we even had the same department in the university we were going to. I studied as hard as I could, but there was no way my academic ability would be as good as Rika’s, who was extremely talented. It was a good school, but for Rika, it was a school she had applied to.
Even though we were married, our relationship was the same as before. The only difference is that we now live together and our relationship has become more flirtatious.
I’m currently working at my usual coffee shop. The owner became ill and the store was in danger of closing.
So, shortly after we got married, Rika and I decided to take over the business. Although I was only a part-time worker, I could almost say that I was the owner of the store. With Rika’s arrangement, the two of us are working together. I try not to think about the staff who are no longer with us.
I’m getting used to working here. The pay is not bad. I can spend time with Rika without worrying about being seen. It was the right decision to start working here.
I cook pasta with my practiced hand. It’s a very ordinary meat sauce, but it’s said to be good. I remember it took me a while to recreate the taste of the restaurant.
As I thought about it, it was ready in no time. I put it on the tray and take the order.
“Here you go. Iced coffee, hot cocoa, and meat sauce. Please take your time.”
There was nothing else to do, so I retreated to the kitchen. Rika followed closely behind me.
“Good work, Masa kun.”
“You too.”
Rika, dressed as a waitress, is incredibly cute. Rika is more mature than when she was a high school student and has become more fashion-conscious. Her cuteness never stops evolving.
“I’m so happy to be working next to Masa kun today. When I’m on campus, I’m always worried about other girls coming on to you, so it’s hard to concentrate.”
“I’m happy and at ease here, too. I wish you would put yourself in my shoes, being under close surveillance.”
“I don’t call it surveillance. It’s just watching over you.”
“I see. So you’re saying that you’re watching over the girls who come near me?”
Rika said out loud that she can’t hear me. It’s probably because I hit a sore spot.
“Think about it, Masa kun is my husband. If I were to be cheated on or had an affair, you would be able to tell how I would react, right?”
“If I did, he would be stabbed to death. Thousand needles is no joke. And I would be locked up for the rest of my life.”
“Thank you for being so quick to understand. We’ve had this conversation many times. I’m always careful not to expose my dark side.”
“……Watching over is important.”
Rika nodded as if she understood.
“Hey, what do you want to do after work?”
“We’ll have dinner together, watch a movie, do an assignment, and then.”
“After that. After we finish our bath, we won’t have a choice, will we?”
“In short, you’re frustrated.”
“Oh, geez. We’re a couple, you know what I mean, don’t you?”
Rika’s expressions of affection are an uncontrollable runaway train.
The night of the school trip, the day I accepted Rika. She immediately asked for it. I wasn’t prepared for anything at the time, and we never crossed the line, but there was something close.
She has always said that she wants to have children. I convinced her that I was not in a position to raise a child, and she reluctantly accepted.
However, there are things that overlap. At first it was enough to squeeze my youth, but now it is calming down.
Having been away for a while, Rika was close to her limit. Even when she came to the kitchen, she was secretly attempting body touches.
“I’m well aware of that. Today is a holiday, right? I’ll close the restaurant afternoon. I’ll leave it till after that.”
“You’re not going to say night, are you?”
“You said you’d prefer it to be right after.”
“Of course not. I’m always ready.”
“…….I can’t go against Rika.”
Today is Labor Thanksgiving Day. It’s not the time to be working hard. The best choice would be to spend time together as soon as you are finished.
“Oh, Masa kun. Take care of the payment. I think there’s a customer waiting for me.”
“Okay, I’m coming.”
Just as I was about to step out of the store, Rika tugged at my sleeve.
“Don’t you have to go to the cash register?”
“They’re regular. They’ll understand.
It is not unusual for customers to have a hard time getting started on their work because Rika keeps them from doing so. The customers accept this and smile at her. They are very understanding.
“I just wanted to ask you something.”
“Yeah.”
Rika moved closer to my ear. She blew on her warm breath and carefully spun her words.
“…..I want you soon, Masa kun. I want to talk about the old days with you, and I want you to show me how cute you are. I want to do lots of things that I can’t tell people about. I want to have so much fun with Masa kun that I want to have a child of our own. So, I want to work hard and be prepared before we start. Masa kun loves to be left alone, so it’s troubling, okay? My body is already so warm.”
Smiling, Rika headed toward the cash register.
“Rika will be Rika, honestly.”
