54. A Day in Shujinkoo Haiseki

54. A day in Shujinkoo Haiseki

Kikki-

“…”

At the sound of the door opening, I woke up sluggish again today.

And Iinazuke, the guy next to me.

“Shujinkoo-kun, you’re awake!”

“…”

Ha…

…Today was also my precious day with him.

***

I went to eat with him.

Today, the rice is carefully prepared.

… Whenever she saw something like this, she would feel grateful to her. But… It’s okay if you don’t feel like this, so please don’t come.

Ha…

“…Thank you.”

“Yes! Eat well, Shujinko-kun!”

“…”

My mother and father could not contain their admiration when they found out about her like this not long ago.

Also, when she found out that she cooked my meals every day in the house over there, she was speechless with gratitude.

Then they said to marry into my house or something.

Iinazuke didn’t know whether or not he knew that what my parents were saying was half sincere, and he unnecessarily sympathized with them.

I may be kidding myself, but I hope he also thinks a bit about the fact that he only raises my parents’ useless expectations, which in the end only heightens the disappointment when he finds his mate later.

“…”

Let’s eat some rice.

***

“Shujinko-kun.”

“…?”

After finishing her meal, she looked at me with a smile.

“…”

And the continuous gaze.

“…Thank you.”

“And?”

“It was delicious.”

“Yes! Thank goodness, Shujinkou-kun.”

Then she withdraws her gaze.

…Even if you don’t force it that much, you were going to say it in the first place, you bastard.

Actually, it was a bit annoying that she forced me to say thank you and say delicious, but it was an undeniable fact that she was good at cooking.

It’s a bit awkward to say this, but… You did better than me or my family.

But the problem is.

“I’ve said it before, but let’s take turns cooking from now on. The food you cooked is really delicious, but no matter how much it is, isn’t it a bit burdensome for you and me to burden only one person?”

It was that she was taking care of my three meals a day.

Even on vacation, every single day.

Then, Nazuke Ii frowned and pointed at her as if she were trying to prick me.

“Shujinkoo-kun! I told you before! This is what women do, not men?!”

“…”

Yeah, I heard that. Yes, I did. However.

“No… In this day and age, how do you argue with a woman or a man with something like that?”

When I was pointed out like this by her in the same situation before, I wondered if Japan itself in this world was such a trend. It was because no matter how long I lived, there weren’t that many families I had ever experienced.

However, when I looked for it, it was not like that again.

In this world, it was common for men to do household chores, and even for them to be housewives, it was not too boring to find.

No matter how much women share more than men, it wasn’t as much as this guy was talking about.

So, in the end, it was just that he had a very outdated way of thinking in a place like this.

“…”

Look.

“Shujinkoo-kun, but of course these things are done by women!”

“…”

In this way, she had her own stereotypes.

…I want to know why a kid who is fine everywhere else is bound by stereotypes only in this place…

Come to think of it, even before he changed, she always made me something.

On the other hand, if I tried to cook something, I would hold back like now.

At that time, however, meeting like this and making something to eat did not happen all the time, but intermittently, so I never dreamed that he would have such an idea.

At most, he did this because he wanted to be praised by me.

Of course, he was my mistake.

“…”

By the way.

I almost raised him, but when and why did he have such stereotypes..?

…It was unknown.

***

An hour later.

I was studying in my room when I heard a knock on the door.

And then Iinazuke comes in. In her hand, as always, there was fruit.

“I brought some fruit, Shujinko-kun.”

“Uh, thanks…”

Then Iinazuke sits on my bed.

She started to watch me study and eat fruit.

“…”

I wish I could leave right away…But he’ll probably be like this for the next ten minutes.

It was clear that this was also irritating, but he didn’t last long after I said I was going to leave the house with his gaze that lasted for over an hour.

Should I call this a relief… I don’t know.

***

It is evening.

About an hour after me and her had dinner, her parents returned.

And then, as always, parents admiring the food prepared in the kitchen.

They both said to Iinazuke with their eyes twinkling.

“Oh! Inazuke-chan, did you make me like this today?”

“Yes, mother and father!”

“hahahahaha! We have one daughter-in-law…”

“I’m not your daughter-in-law.”

“Then a prospective daughter-in-law? hahahaha!”

“…”

“Huh, you’re young, honey.”

“I will.”

“Hohoho~.”

“…”

Let’s go into the room.

***

11:30

“Goodbye~.”

“Yeah, come again tomorrow! Haiseki is coming too, hurry up and go with me!”

“Yes…”

Ha…

It’s right next door anyway, but I want why you order it every time…

I walked out of her house and walked with her for about 30 seconds. After arriving in front of her house, I said goodbye to her.

“Shujinkoo-kun, see you tomorrow!”

“…Uh.”

From noble mtl dot com

I returned home leaving behind Nazuke Ii who smiled brightly at me and shook her hand.

Then I went straight into my room and lay down on the bed as if I was collapsing.

Pulsuk-

“……”

Ha…

…Yes.

This is my daily life.

It was like yesterday, it was like that today, and it will be like that tomorrow.

My long-awaited vacation. And my peaceful daily life.

…Didn’t exist anywhere.

***

And four days later. Lunch.

“Why don’t you eat this, Shujinkoo-kun?”

“It’s just that I don’t want to eat today.”

“Why are you so picky, Shujinko-kun? Are you saying that the food I made for you isn’t tasty, Shujinko-kun?”

“No… That’s not it, it’s just that I don’t feel like it. And everything is delicious.”

“But what’s wrong with the expression on your eating face, Shujinko-kun? It seems like it’s tasteless, Shujinko-kun?”

“…”

I don’t know what I did wrong yesterday, but I was being severely beaten by Iinazuke today.

And the constant thirst.

I hope you can tell me what I am doing wrong.

If you ask me, well? Only the answer came flying, so I couldn’t fix it, so it was just embarrassing.

Ha…

And it was then.

Tee-Ring-

“…?”

At the sound that came like a savior in Iinazuke’s grunts, I asked for his understanding and hurriedly looked at my phone.

And a visible line message.

[Osana Najimi: What are you doing? …I’m not really curious, but…]

[Reply: If you’re not curious, don’t ask.]

How did he know about my line, which he had never told me about, Osana Najimi, who contacted me.

She gave her one of the things she wanted to say, and I pressed the block button on her.

Then he started eating again as if nothing had happened.

In order not to provoke Iinazuke, who has been quiet since the line earlier, again, let’s eat evenly and say, “It’s delicious.”

In response, Iinazuke, who had a satisfied expression on his face, asked me.

“By the way, who are you, Shujinkoo-kun?”

“Ah, there’s just a kid like Wensu. You don’t have to know.”

“Why?”

“Yeah. They didn’t seem to have anything in particular to say, so I blocked them right away.”

“Hey~, I see, if you blocked something…”

…?

“What if?”

“Ah, uh, it’s nothing, Shujinkoo-kun.”

What..?

And Iinazuke stopped asking about him.

***

Lunch the next day. Heebon Academy.

“Ehh!! Clean the pool?”

“I’m sorry, Toyoda-kun. You have a lot of work to do… hahahaha…”

Haruta Toyoda, who went to the academy for club activities, was quite taken aback by her teacher’s request to clean her swimming pool out of the blue.

“Ha, but how could I…!”

“It’s okay to invite your friends over, huh? Oh! The class president is here too. Sasaki-chan!”

“Yes, something to talk about when we meet. What did you call for?”

“hahahaha… Well, Sasaki-chan. Could you clean the swimming pool with Toyoda-kun here? As you can see, the teacher is a bit busy.”

“Cleaning the pool… You mean.”

“Yeah! Instead, it’s good to invite other friends to join us.”

“…A friend.. Maybe one…”

“Then will you listen? Sasaki-chan.”

“Friend… I’m sorry. I have someone to beat. I have to study.”

“Eh? Sasaki-chan… But I’ll ask the teacher, huh?”

“Sorry.”

“Sasaki-chan…”

Still, the teacher who only knew how to listen to his request like Haruta, because he is usually a schoolboy but also the class president, looked quite disappointed.

Disappointed, she couldn’t ask Yuna anymore and told Haruta.

“Then… Toyoda-kun, please take care of me?”

“Ha, hey…”

Haruta’s complexion is not looking good in a desperate situation. Yuuna Sashiki, who had been watching Haruta for a while, finally let out a sigh and said,

“Ha… I see. Let me help too.”

“Ah! Thank you~ Sasaki-chan!”

“Ah, Sasaki-san! If you’re doing this because of me…!”

“It’s done. I’ll just do it, so please don’t stop me. By the way, if you’re a friend, by any chance… Would you call Mr. Shujinko?”

“Ah, yes! Maybe..? I guess I’ll have to ask for it first, but… hahahaha…”

“…Yes, I understand.”
