◇Magiri side◇
The following day, Monday.
I went to school with a strange feeling as if I had been coming to school without a day off since Friday, because this Saturday and Sunday did not feel like a holiday at all, and Nanahoshi invited me to the roof, so I went to the roof with her
If it were true, as a Magiri, I wouldn’t want to get involved with Nanahoshi too much in school, but this is somewhat better than being talked to by Nanahoshi in the classroom, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
As I was walking with Nanahoshi while thinking about this, we arrived at the rooftop, and she immediately opened her mouth and said, with a worried expression on her face.
“Hey, Magiri ……, what should I do?”
“What?”
When I asked that, Nanahoshi said in a loud voice with a panicked look.
“What should I do!!”
“What?”
Even if she asks me what she should do, I won’t be able to give an answer unless I know the important part of the question, when I ask Nanahoshi twice, she doesn’t seem to have the said to do anything. She said.
“You know? Yesterday, I went out with someone I was interested in, or should I say I had something to meet up with, and then we started talking about having him try my cooking next time.”
Of course, since the person on the other end was me, I already knew the story, but as a person of color, I responded as if it was the first time I had heard the story.
“Is it so”
Anyway, since she seemed anxious and in a hurry, I wondered what the story was about, and what she was talking about was about having someone eat the food.
Could it be that she doesn’t know what Toiro’s favorite dish is, or that she’s not sure about her cooking skills, or something like that…Nanahoshi said as I was making such a guess.
“So, that’s all well and good,…… but, uh,…… oh, don’t be surprised, okay?”
“Yeah”
“I …… I ────, I invited him home!!”
Home …… Ah, I think she asked me to come over to her house
“If you mean to cook for him, Is it normal to invite him to your house?”
“H-haa!!”
I thought I said something very natural, but it seemed to have tugged at her heartstrings, and she came closer to me and said.
“Not normal! Of course, even if it is a relationship between a man and a woman, suddenly inviting someone to your house is not normal,────, it is not normal,……, ah, I’m an idiot,…….’
In the middle of the conversation, Nanahoshi, who had been speaking with the vigour of lecturing, began to hold her own head in the middle of the conversation.
And then she asks me.
“Hey, as I can’t help it if I’ve invited him home, in a boy’s opinion, what kind of state of mind do you have when you go to a girl’s house?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never been to a girl’s house before.”
“Just imagine!”
“Imagine……”
Actually, I’ll be going to her house next time, but even if I try to imagine it for a moment…
“probably be normal.”
When I told her what I imagined, Nanahoshi looked angry and said.
“Hey! I’m asking you seriously!”
“I’m answering seriously too.”
“Mou~!”
Nanahoshi raised her voice loudly, and after a short pause, she asked me with a shy look on her cheeks.
“Well, this is what I wanted to ask you the most. …… Just in case, should I be prepared or something?”
I didn’t know why Nanahoshi’s cheeks were dyed red, but since there are many things I don’t understand about Nanahoshi’s feelings, that shouldn’t be a particular concern.
So, she’s wondering if it’s better to be prepared…
“Of course you should, shouldn’t you?”
“I-I knew it!?”
She said, looking a little surprised.
In fact, I had never thought of trying to cook without preparing anything in advance, so I seemed more surprised by Nanahoshi’s reaction, but Nanahoshi continued.
“I’m really new to this kind of thing and I don’t know anything about it,…… but if it comes to that, hey, how many pieces will I need?’
How many pieces… Ah, it’s true that when serving food to the opposite gender, the amount of ingredients is not necessarily exactly the same as what you would eat, and in the case of Nanahoshi, she increased the amount of ingredients because she was in a position to serve food to men. She must be thinking that it might be good…In fact, as expected, I’ll probably eat more than Nanahoshi.
However, I don’t think it’s something to be too concerned about, so I answered by conveying my own opinion while also understanding her thoughts.
“I think one is enough, but it might be better to have two just in case.”
“O-okay…… I don’t know if I can go and buy one by myself, but if the atmosphere is like that, we can go and buy one together, right?’
She doesn’t know if she can go buy it alone……?
…I don’t really understand, but I don’t have any intention of refusing to go buy ingredients with her if she’s going to cook, so I nod and say.
“Yeah, I think that would be fine.”
“R-right!”
She replied somewhat flustered, then released some of her tension and said.
“I-I’m sorry, Magiri, for asking you for such weird advice this morning.”
“I don’t think it’s weird, so don’t worry about it.”
“Thank you so much! After talking to Magiri just now, I feel much less anxious than before!”
“That’s good.”
When it comes to inviting someone of the opposite gender into your home for the first time, it’s natural to feel nervous.
“Then it’s time to go back to the classroom.”
“Let’s do so”
She was acting strange today, but sometimes things like that happen.
After that, she and I returned to the classroom together.
────Later on, I came to greatly resent the narrowness of my own thinking.
