[ [(I thought it was an ordinary day off, but I guess such a thing can happen.)] ]
Kagamiya and Nadeshiko, who had gone to a shopping mall in the city to get some foodstuffs, bumped into each other in the food section by chance.
They said it was some kind of connection, so they actually thought about inviting each other to hang out or something through email, but they couldn’t make the decision and were just trying to spend the day off idly, but then they decided to have dinner together at Nadeko’s house.
Kagamiya and Nadeshiko are as close as sister and brother.
However, this is the first time for Kagamiya to visit Nadeshiko’s house.
Nadeshiko and Kagamiya, having bought enough food for dinner, headed for Nadeshiko’s house by bicycle, just as they had done before.
Nadekshio’s house was a two-story shabby apartment with a surprisingly retro atmosphere. It was a room on the second floor of the building.
Nadeshiko is a popular actress and should be receiving a decent salary.
Does she have some kind of attachment to the place? Or, considering Nadeshiko’s personality, it would be troublesome to move, so is she still using the apartment she rented before it was sold?
He thought that it was nothing to pry into, and entered the room without worrying about it.
Nadeshiko’s room was not a [girl’s] kind of room.
It was more like the room of a college student living alone.
…Well, considering Nadeshiko’s age, it’s not unnatural.
Empty beer cans were placed carelessly on a not-so-large table, and manga magazines were scattered on the floor.
But that doesn’t mean that there is no place to step on, and the rest of the room is rather tidy.
To put it bluntly, the room is full of life.
In other words, it was a sloppy room.
But what can I say? Kagamiya must have been strangely conscious of the fact that Nadeshiko’s room was a girly room for a woman who is even a beautiful woman.
So, on the contrary, it was better to be able to relax in a room like this.
Besides, Kagamiya, who knows that Nadeshiko tends to be lazy outside of work, thought it was a good thing.
“I’ll cook, so just relax.”
“I’ll do that.”
Kagamiya picks up the Shonen Jump from the floor and flips through it.
A sense of security like being at home. However, it is still Nadeshiko’s house. …Even though I said earlier that I was calm, I still feel a little nervous.
Kagamiya closed the manga and decided to watch Nadeshiko cook from behind.
Cabbage, onions, and carrots were being chopped up in an efficient manner.
While putting the frozen udon in the microwave, she drops the pork into the frying pan and begins to cook it.
“(……Fried Udon?)”
Kagamiya rarely cooked for himself, but he liked to watch someone else cook.
Even to the point where the dinner menu is fried udon, there’s a feeling of a college student living alone.
“……What?”
“I’m just looking. Is that not okay?”
“Ummm. I don’t know why I invited you, but…..actually, I’m not good enough at cooking to show it to other people.”
It’s embarrassing, so please wait over there.
Yes, Nadeshiko chased him away, but from Kagamiya’s point of view, Nadeshiko was amazing because even though the menu was a dish like fried udon, it was obvious that she cooked it herself every day.
Cooking is fun because you do it once every six months when you feel like it.
Cooking every day would be too much of a hassle.
At least from Kagamiya’s point of view, who thinks that a life of canned foods and cup noodles would be waiting for him if he lived alone, Nadeshiko, who cooks for herself, looks like a respectable adult.
That’s why he wanted to see it. If Nadeshiko doesn’t want to, he has no choice but to back down.
Kagamiya was reluctant,
“Can’t I just look? Sis.”
And, writhing inwardly in embarrassment, he makes a last ditch effort.
“(Kagamiya kun, you’re getting all flirty !? It’s fine ! If you like it, then watch as much as you like.”
Cute ! Even though his hair is unkempt, his dark circles are showing, and his casual clothes are unfashionable, Nadeshiko, who is a big sister to Kagamiya, flinches at Kagamiya’s easy-to-understand acting.
“Really? Thank you.”
Cute. Kagamiya kun is always so curt, but today he’s extremely cute.
Now that I think about it, you called me big sister from the beginning today.
Nadeshiko is excited and Kagamiya is enjoying watching Nadeshiko cooking for some reason or another.
It’s not love, but it’s not friendship either. Real siblings are usually not this close.
A relationship that goes beyond that of seniors and juniors at the agency.
Neither Kagamiya nor Nadeshiko had the words to accurately describe it.
◇
In the end, Nadeshiko’s fried udon is neither very tasty nor tasteless. It was just a normal and tasty fried udon that didn’t become a topic of conversation.
Kagamiya thought as he placed the finished dishes in the dishwasher.
He thought it was going to be an uneventful day off, but he was glad to have dinner with his sister at the end.
A junior who meets his senior in the same office on a day off is treated to dinner at his senior’s house.
That’s all he can say. This is a very common story, not just in the entertainment industry.
However, Kagamiya and Nadeshiko have had almost no such experience until now.
The reason is that Kagamiya and Nadeshiko have never been active in socializing, but more than that, the office to which Kagamiya and Nadeshiko belong is not very big.
Only Kagamiya and Nadeshiko are famous enough to appear on TV frequently.
They are too popular, too successful. They are a little bit out of place in the office.
It is as if they are touched by a tumor. Or maybe people think that they’re like unreachable flowers and it’s hard to get involved with them.
In the end, Kagamiya was the only one who could be Nadeshiko’s junior in the same office, and Nadeshiko was the only one who could be Kagamiya’s senior.
To put it in an extreme way, this kind of thing is called codependence.
No, that would be an exaggeration.
They are the only people in the office who get along well with each other. That’s all there is to it.
And so, they finished eating dinner. They talked about nothing else. After watching a movie together, Kagamiya went home because it was getting late.
Although Kagamiya and Nadeshiko are good friends, they have never played together on holidays, and today was the first time Kagamiya visited Nadeshiko’s house.
The two of them are very busy, so it’s hard for them to see each other on their days off.
[ [(I’m going to ask him/her out properly this time.)] ]
For example, suddenly on a day off. They’d like to make a promise to hang out on another occasion in advance.
Although they don’t have a specific place they want to go.
But they felt regret that they couldn’t ask each other out, and the joy and pleasure of actually meeting with one another was real.
Let’s ask properly.
The night they had dinner together.
Both Nadeshiko and Kagamiya ended up thinking the same thing from the beginning to the end of the day off.
