The next morning, Hanamichi sat at the table and brought to his mouth the breakfast Tsumugi had cooked for him last night.
The meal includes steaming hot grilled salmon, fluffy rolled egg, white rice, and miso soup with plenty of ingredients. In addition, boiled spinach and fried burdock root were served as side dishes.
“……Yum.”
He unintentionally said to himself. The salmon was grilled to perfection with just the right amount of salt, making the rice go down a treat. The egg soaked with the flavor of dashi also has a gentle sweetness that spreads in your mouth. The miso soup was rich in broth and seemed to soak into your tired body.
“Mikami’s cooking skills are amazing…….”
After eating the same dish yesterday, he was amazed at the perfection of the dish. The moment he thought that it would be great if he could have this kind of breakfast every day–.
Ding dong.
The intercom rang.
“Hm Who’s at this early hour in the morning…..?”
Hanamichi put down his half-eaten meal and got up quietly. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he checked the monitor and there it was.
“Good morning !”
There was the figure of Tsumugi waving her hand through the screen.
“……Eh?”
Hanamichi freezes for a moment at the completely unexpected visitor.
“Hey, why is Mikami here–“
[I was wondering if you ate breakfast I made yesterday ! So, here I am !]
“You came all the way here to check on me !”
[Of course ! I made it for you !]
Tsumugi stated this as if it was a matter of course, so Hanamichi sighed, but reluctantly opened the door.
“……Well, come in.”
“Sorry to disturb you !”
Tsumugi happily enters the house. The moment she goes to the living room and looks at the dining table…
“Ah ! !”
A burst of smiles spread across her face.
“You’re eating properly ! Good !”
Tsumugi innocently clapped her hands together.
“Well, it’s just plain good.”
“Really !? Wow, I’m so happy ! !”
Tsumugi is so happy that she jumps up and down. Seeing her, Hanamichi was stunned, but he did not feel bad.
“No, it’s really delicious. Breakfast like this is too good to be true.”
“……!?”
As soon as she heard those words–.
Tsumugi suddenly stopped moving.
The tension she had been feeling just a moment ago was now gone, and she blinked her eyes.
“H-hey? What’s wrong?”
When Hanamichi looked into her face curiously, Tsumugi muttered.
“…I’ve never been told the it taste good like this before.”
“Huh?”
“I always cook for other people, but there’s never been anyone who would go out of their way to say it was delicious.”
Tsumugi’s voice sounded a little lonely.
“No, no, that’s weird. It tastes so good !”
“… No. At home, we just eat normally and then call it a day.”
The expression on Tsumugi’s face as she said this was just a little gloomy.
“……I see.”
Hanamichi folded his arms, thought for a moment, and then said with a serious expression.
‘Well then, I’ll give you a solid compliment. Your cooking is the best.”
“–!”
“If I could have this kind of breakfast every day, it would be really great.”
At these words, Tsumugi’s eyes widened for a moment.
And then–.
“……All right !”
She smiled and showed a full-blown smile.
“Then I’ll come back every day to make it !”
“……Huh?”
Hanamichi’s thoughts freeze for a moment.
“Because, Morita kun said that you wanted ot eat it everyday, right? Then I’ll have to cook for you !”
“Oh, come on, I don’t wanna be a burden.”
“No, I just wanna do it !”
Tsumugi asserts eagerly.
“No, but….”
“Hey, hey, it’s okay, right? Right, right !?”
She comes looming with sparkling eyes.
(Hey……this pressure, oh man……)
Hanamichi shuddered inwardly, but in the end–.
“……Well, then, may I?”
He was easily defeated by the temptation.
“I did it ! !”
Tsumugi happily struck a gut-punching pose.
“Okay, then I’ll come back tomorrow morning !”
“Oh, hey…….”
“See you later ! Good luck today, Morita kun !”
Tsumugi smiled and waved her hand. Then left through the entrance.
“……No, seriously?”
Hanamichi was left standing there with a blank stare.
Thus, “Tsumugi’s custom homemade breakfast” suddenly started.
