The sight that's happening in front of me right now...... is this a reality?

I think of cheeks. [M]

The pain tells me that the sight in front of me is real. Yeah, it hurts. But it doesn't feel real.

"Yangshin's house has all the cookware. Well, it's obvious because I don't live alone. Usually your mother cooks?

"Ah...... yeah. Mother or father... I'm cooking better when I get back first..."

"Your father cooks too, that's awesome. My father can't cook at all. Is it about fried rice you can make?

"I don't cook at all, Dad. I think it's amazing enough... I can't even cook hamburgers properly, and I doubt I can even make fried rice."

"Then next time, I'll teach you how to cook. Because a man who can cook is a high point. Mostly to me, though, right?

In front of me, there is a wide view of Nanami cooking in the kitchen with an apron. I was just cooking, and the sight had a stronger impact on me than the movie I saw today.

The best footage is streaming right in front of you in real time.

Is this a free sight to see? You can't even watch a movie for free, you should pay for something... oh, you've already paid for it in a way...

No, calm down. Let's just calm down.

I don't know why this happened...... time goes back just a little bit. It's really just a little bit.

"Today, I'm going to Yangshin's house to make dinner for you!!" Qihai said, pulling her hand and moving to the food store at the mall before I said anything.

There is no way to stop her tense... we arrived at the food store.

"By the way, what were you going to eat today?

"No, I haven't thought about it at all yet. There is a dumpling chain just a short walk away, so I thought I'd eat a dumpling set meal there..."

"Dumplings ah... I'd really like to put Tane to bed... yeah, shall we make dumplings then? Can you help me wrap it up?

"Oh, yeah. If there's anything I can do..."

I was overwhelmed, and I agreed to help cook something I'd never done there. Well, I thought at that time I'd be able to wrap dumplings or so.

"Well, shopping...... oh, wait a minute"

She stopped her leg trying to walk out and took out her smartphone. Then, start contacting someone.

I just watched the interaction... and when she whines "OK," she turns her cheeks a little red and makes her smartphone go away.

"What's wrong, Mr. Seven Seas?

"Hmm? I told your mother I didn't want it because I decided to have dinner with Hatsumi and the others today. And I'll be in touch with Hatsumi..."

Like a kid who made a prank, it's Mr. Seven Seas who gives his tongue out with a pepper.... you made your parents lie... you did something sorry.

"Well, shall we shop? Ingredients for dumplings...... you know what I mean?

"Oh, yeah. That's about the boulder..."

I replied a little mean to her laughing cutely like I made a fool of myself while tilting my little neck......

I'm sorry, I have no idea. About a hiccup and a nyla...... oh, and garlic?

She puts more and more ingredients in her basket with an indelible hand. Do you also put cabbage in dumplings...... What do you use for walnuts, cabbage and tomatoes? Is this dumpling material, too?

"Oh, this? I don't have enough vegetables just dumplings, so I thought I'd make some salad and watermelon soup. Help me out, okay?

"I will do good..."

We bought the necessary materials like that.

Of course, I gave you the full price. She resisted to the end when it came to splitting, but she was getting more money, and convinced me she was sorry to have cooked.

... Father and Mother, you weren't giving them a lot in anticipation of this, were you?

And on the way home to my house... a word she unleashed is still ringing in my head.

"I'll buy the ingredients for dinner and go home with you...... Something like this... sounds like a newlywed, right?

A word so destructive that I wonder if Mr. Nanakai is willing to bore me to death that I can't do anything about my attentive reply.

I didn't know there were no words. Exactly this.

Until I got to my house, she was in a good mood and I wasn't at peace... but I was happy, and I enjoyed it.

And to this day...

I'm in the process of wrapping the dumpling onion that Mr. Nanakai gave me in the skin right now. The first few are taught by Mr. Nanakai, and since then, I've been wrapping them all by myself.

... You showed me an example, but I wouldn't have to wrap it up as well as she did.

Qihai is now making soups, salads and side dishes.

I don't know because I didn't take a closer look at my mother's cooking landscape, but I think she's pretty handy.

That's what it is, like a new wife.

... No, Mr. Nanakai's words just now are intense and his thoughts go that way.

Now I'm a dumpling wrapper, wrapping dumplings carelessly.

Then, did Mr. Nanakai finish cooking in the kitchen, and when he sat in front of me, he started wrapping dumplings with me?

That's twice as handy as I am... No, maybe three times faster.

Besides, the shape is beautiful. It is the difference between a dumpling wrapped in mine and a cloud mud. Funny, I'm supposed to be a dumpling wrapper right now...

"Mr. Nanakai is beautiful."

"Heh...? What?! Suddenly!?"

... My words are missing and I think I blushed Mr. Seven Seas for nothing. The skin is torn and one dumpling is sacrificed. Well, you'll be fine if you bake it.

"Look, it's the difference between a dumpling wrapped in me and a cloud mud. I knew Nanakai-san was a good cook."

"Ah... oh, that's what you mean... but even Yangshin, for the first time, is a good way to do that. Father, why don't you put the ingredients in the bread and let them stick out, or tear them too hard?"

As he wraps the dumplings as he talks like that, a pile of dumplings piles up while he says goodbye.

... this is... maybe not...

"You've made too much."

"I knew it, right?"

In front of a pile of dumplings for two or more people, we laugh at each other face to face. This amount is for five... no, it seems like more than that.

"It's hard to buy for two...... Besides... I thought it was for Yangshin, so I strained it..."

He was dyeing his cheeks just a little while his hands were together. dumplings for me...... I'd love to eat them all but this is just too much......

"Mr. Seven Seas, take the rest back to your souvenir. I'm going to school tomorrow, and I wonder if this is a good idea for lunch."

Besides... I can't think of any excuses after my parents return tomorrow.

I usually never cook, but I don't think I can explain why I made dumplings on purpose... just to keep it a secret.

"... should I tell your mothers we were having a dumpling party at Hatsumi's house?

Mr. Nanakai seems to keep socializing a secret from his family, but unlike me, it seems advantageous only to the extent that he has the strength to say that he has friends he can rely on at times like this.

... No, I don't have zero friends either, but I can't count on them when they say this on very few. Ever since I went out with Mr. Seven Seas, I've been kept at a distance for some reason...

If I could talk to you, it would be about Senior Sakatsu...

With that said, I promised to ask my senior to cook with Nanakai to thank him for his clothes... but I helped him with this too... Shall we make good on our promises again?

Then, Nanakai-san baked me one dumpling after another that I had finished making.

In the meantime, I'm out of hand, so I prepare dishes, wipe tables... help with chores I don't usually do.

... You really feel like a couple. This.

While I was preparing it, I finished it with baked dumplings with parisian feathers. It has a brilliant baking color and a good aroma.

And a watermelon and spring rain soup, a vegetable salad, and this... plenty of radish grate?

"When we eat dumplings, we add radish grate to the sauce. It'll be refreshing and easy to eat."

"Heh, you never did that"

We'll sit across the street from each other for dinner. I don't know...... when I sit across the street it looks like I'm really newlywed and I can light it up.

"Yes... I'll have it"

"Yes, eat it"

I didn't know you were going to have this interaction outside of lunch... I didn't even think about it then.

Nanakai thinks so too, she has slightly dyed cheeks.

The food Nanakai-san cooked was very delicious... and we took a meal laughing at each other.

It was my first experience to say dinner soaked in a happy mood without my parents, and I was about to cry, but I managed to enjoy it.

But when I tried to do it myself when I was replacing dinner, it sucked when she bothered to take a seat and turn around.

The same goes for crying, but I wanted to hold her asexually. I managed to restrain myself though.

Really, that back looked attractive.

And after dinner... I didn't even wash the dishes. I'll clean up with Nanakai while she teaches me. Was cleaning up such a fun thing......

Fun time is just around the corner. It's late at night and it's time for Mr. Seven Seas to go home.

Unfortunately, I have no choice.

"Mr. Nanakai, I'm sending you."

"Uh... that's bad. to boulders."

"There's something about yesterday, and I'm worried about it. Besides, you can't let a boulder leave a girl alone at night."

Well, I didn't think you were going to send it from my house... But Nanakai-san is going home alone on the night lane, and I'm worried sick. Then you should come with me.

"... then sweeten to your words"

On the boulder she also remembered yesterday, accepting my suggestion with a little anxiety. I also wrapped and held dumplings for souvenirs, and I didn't forget anything. And her trail... wouldn't be left in the house.

Now you shouldn't find out tomorrow when your parents return. Well, there's no inconvenience in finding out... it's just that I'm somewhat embarrassed...

"Well, then, please"

I'll take her hand and send Mr. Nanakai home. [M] Naturally, I have souvenir dumplings. Growing up every day, I can care for that much. [M]

On the road, from talking about what was fun today, to talking about where to go next, to talking about whether I should teach Nanakai to cook too... anyway, it was essential to the topic.

So in no time, we'll reach Mr. Seven Seas' house.

A little bit of a shame, but let's be good because the purpose has been achieved.

Near Mr. Nanakai's house, the place where we met in the morning was completely dark, but her house is at the end of her eyes and nose. You'll be safe here already.

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Seven Seas"

"Yeah, Yangshin...... thank you for today. It was so much fun."

"Yeah... me too..."

Shortly after we smiled at each other and tried to say I had fun too...... a very big man appeared abruptly behind Mr. Seven Seas.

Back length is the same as Senior Sagitzu or more... I turn her back in front of Nanakai-san in an aggressive manner to the appearance of the person whose muscle buoyancy can also be seen from above her clothes.

Is that face stained with anger, pretty scary?

In case someone like this... no, not one in a hundred million wins, but at least when you decide to be prepared to buy time for Mr. Seven Seas to enter the house...

The big man opened his mouth.

"Seven Seas... Who's that boy over there?

"O... father... why?

Hey, Dad.

Dad?

Father?!

I look back at Mr. Seven Seas, and then I look at the person who was said to be your father.... Sorry, but they don't look alike at all.

Then he smiled... intimidating at me.

... Apparently, my day isn't over yet.
