I'm not familiar with how many boys' high school students can cook yesterday, but unfortunately I'm basically a category of boys' high school students who can't cook.

I can't, 'don't' is more accurate as an expression than that. I've done it in school classes, but I'm good at it.

Because I live at home... the food my mother, or father, cooks for me, goes up to the table and eats it. For that reason, I never tried to cook from myself.

Of course, although my parents thank me every day for cooking... for me cooking was basically something someone would cook for me.

Even when the two of them are gone and alone, there are many ways in the world to eat vegetables, dine out, convenience stores, cup noodles… there are many ways to eat and you don't need to make your own. If it's troublesome, I don't have a problem skipping a meal or so.

Previously on... That's what I thought in the past.

I thought it was a past form. The reason it took shape in the past was because she was right in front of me.

"Yes, Yangshin. So, what do you say about what you make today?

"Eh, mahjong tofu in the main... then tomato, cabbage and tuna salad... rencon and carrot golden flat, onion miso soup... right"

"Yeah, right. Shall we make it then?"

Nanami is smiling with the apron on in front of me. Until earlier, I had my legs out in shorts, but I changed into long pants where my legs all hide sometime because I cook.

Yeah. But if you want to put on an apron, this one looks better on you. Besides, it's safe in case.

She's a thin pink apron, and I borrow a blue apron to put it on. The designs are together in different colors, so it looks like a pair of looks and I'm just a little bit aware...... but now I don't think about that to concentrate on cooking. I was trying not to think...

"Matching aprons look like newlyweds after all ~"

Mutsuko (Together), who watched us with tender eyes, said clearly that I was conscious and did not try to put it in my mouth. I don't know, can the adults around me read their minds?

"Yes, yes, Mother. Don't tear it up now. We deal with blades. I'm serious."

"Oh, I know ~. Ugh, that's why I didn't say it first. If I start cooking on boulders, I won't tear them up."

Nanakai-san, who protests, is also dyeing her cheeks a little. Maybe she was trying to be unconscious around it, too.

"... but Mr. Seven Seas. Is this a good idea?

I drop my gaze on the square package in front of me. Can I say there are condiments for mahjong tofu to make as the main...... Simply mix tofu and hikimi to create authentic Chinese… the so-called Chinese vegetables are placed.

"Hmm? Was there something weird about it too? I thought I bought all the ingredients I needed..."

"No, look... when I say mahjong tofu, I only imagine soy sauce, chicken soup and sake, but I was wondering if I would use that..."

What did Nanakai-san say to my remarks... she looked at me with such a sweet eye?

This is that... a gaze I somehow remember. At a small point, it resembles the gaze directed at me by my parents when I made a slightly stretched statement.

Did I say something weird?

Nanakai-san opens her mouth to tell me what it is, with her gentle eyes on me, and quickly-raising her glasses even though she is not wearing glasses.

"Yangshin, you're a novice to cooking, aren't you? I want people to think that it's easier to cook first, because it's easier than it is to do something authentic and fail, and it's harder or less fun to cook."

"Ha..."

I don't know, all of a sudden it started to look like a weird little play.

No, do you say something strange about a few remarks from earlier... it was like I was dying to play...

What is it, Mr. Seven Seas? You know, change your personality when you cook?

"I want to do something as elaborate as a beginner and I fail. So at first, it's about making it easy, making sure you remember how fun it is to cook. Come on, let's make it with the teacher, shall we?

... Oh, is that it? Because I teach you, Mr. Nanakai is ready to become a teacher. So from the beginning it was a polite tone, like a teacher.

That's a nori, Mr. Seven Seas!

Well, come on because you're cute. This is something I should knock on for you too, right?

"Yes, Dr. Seven Seas. Best regards,"

"Yes, please"

It was Nanakai-san, who nodded with a satisfied Doya face at me when I lowered my head. [M]

That doya face is so cute, but I'll say it around there after the dishes are done. I'm focused on cooking now. If you're caught off guard, you'll get hurt. I use fire and blades.

Even I, a novice cook on a boulder, have been around.

In the meantime, Mutsuko, who was pointing his smartphone at us, opens his mouth with a little laugh.

"Yangxin, huh? You do the elaborate things you do now and you fail... but you're talking about the old Seven Seas ~? I failed to cook difficult food when I was in elementary school and stubbornly... I have that picture, so I'll show you later, okay?

... Was it Nanakai-san's hands-on experience when she thought it was specific?

Mr. Qihai is blushing with Doya's face still on. And Mutsuko seemed to fit the look in the photo on his smartphone as well.

Including that, I'll show you the pictures later.

"Already! Mother, shut up! Shall we start with Kinhei from Rencon? Yes, Yangxin. Peel it first."

Apparently, the teacher's play (me) is over, and Nanakai, who has switched to his usual condition, gives me the peeler.

Mr. Nanakai is a knife... I'm a peeler... and I feel a little sorry for him, but as a novice cook, I don't have the skill to do that.

Same as the game. Let's start from where we can...... peel the ginseng with a peeler?

While I was desperately peeling a carrot with a peeler, Nanakai-san cleverly peeled Rencon with a knife. I quickly peel and thinly slice the rencon.

Wow... he said he would cleverly peel the thing in such a round shape with a knife and without any danger... Thin slices are also constant in thickness and at least look accurate in my eyes.

I follow and fall in love with Nanakai-san's cooking appearance.

Until now, I have never seen my mother cook so much or my father cook, so I remember a certain emotion. Ordinary vegetables seem to turn into pieces one after another.

When I say... I'm a little embarrassed that even peelers are a little hassle to peel. No, it's surprisingly difficult to apply or subtract force. I can't even stabilize the carrots in my hand...

"Oh, Yangshin... that's not good."

Nanakai-san, who saw me struggling badly with Peeler, moves behind me once he wears a knife.

"When you use a peeler, you should put the carrot on the slab, right? If you're not used to it, it's dangerous to have it... and here's how to hold it... right?

Mr. Nanakai will take my hands from behind and teach me how to use the peeler.... because Nanakai-san's hand overlaps my hand and corrects her from her posture from the way she holds it... inevitably she sticks her body to me perfectly.

That's not the kind of occasion...... I feel very happy on my back. Well, now I'm focused on cooking anyway.

"Look, if we do this, we don't need bad power, and it's not dangerous, right?

My hand felt the warmth of Nanakai-san's hand, and I was able to skin the ginseng softly without any more effort than I had earlier. I see, this would certainly stabilize you and you don't need strength.

... No, I really care about my back. Mr. Seven Seas, aren't you stuck too much? Then, until I had finished peeling a bottle of ginseng... Mr. Nanakai had told me all about it.

"Yeah, I peeled it off on the killey. Peelers are easy for you, right?

"Right, you have to be careful because it's a blade... if you get the hang of it, you're going"

"So next time, shall we cut this carrot with a knife?

Away from me, Mr. Nanakai encouraged me to hold the knife he had used until earlier. Happy feelings disappear...... no, throw away the clutter. I'm cooking now.

Cut with a knife...... don't get a little nervous. But... this is practice too. Let's try.

"Yeah, I get it. I wonder how to cut it?

"Right, we're always going to cut it into thin pieces... that could be a little hard, so why don't we cut it thin just like Rencon"

I take the knife that Mr. Seven Seas has left. I don't know, this just makes me feel so strong about 'cooking' all at once.

Earlier the peelers were somewhat... I had the feeling of working like when I made a pramo or something, but just saying knife is a tightening thought.

"Ah, Yangxin. Let me tell you something, my hand is like this, but it's like this, right? And then... one leg just a little lower... this attitude, huh?

Mr. Qihai takes his own hands into the shape of a cat, and only lowers his right leg by half a step and becomes oblique. I don't think Nanakai-san needs to use both hands as cat hands... but I'll try to imitate that attitude for now.

Yeah, I guess it's a little bit different, huh? She nodded and smiled as I glanced at Nanakai to see if I could use this attitude. And I brought my own cat-shaped hand to the side of my face... and only moved my wrist.

"Yeah, that attitude."

I fall in love with her for praising me as she moves like a cat. Exactly. I didn't even say 'nya'. No, I wouldn't have been upset and at the cooking place if they'd told me.

But because of that, my shoulder strength, which was weird because I had a knife, fell out just fine. I will cut the ginseng in half and slice it thinly as Nanakai-san watches... Yeah, it's working out for you, isn't it?

That's how I cut the ingredients smoothly...... did I just get a little caught off guard, or did I get too distracted...... the blade tip of the knife just a little bit braced with carrot rounds.

"Yikes...!!"

I cut my finger off just a little bit on that braced knife track. [M]

So much so that Mr. Seven Seas said, "This hand is on," but my index finger was only slightly extended because I wasn't used to that posture, and the tip of the blade hit me there.

"Oh, my God."

Mutsuko, who was pointing his smartphone towards our culinary landscape, rushes to put his smartphone down and stand up. Blood was seeping through just a few broken fingers. It only hurts a little, but it doesn't look like it's that deep of an injury.

But it's unhygienic if it stays like this... and I need to stop the bleeding with something. I put the knife on the slab and I looked around looking for something that could stop the bleeding...

Mr. Seven Seas went into outrageous behavior.

"Yangxin?! Are you okay?!"

The moment I said that... Nanakai-san took my hand and puckered her injured index finger into her mouth.

At that moment, Mutsuko restarts his smartphone, and I am suddenly confused.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah? Nana-san, what are you doing?!

Nanakai-san was also surprised to see her eyes open until she grabbed my finger. Look at my fingers, they're dyeing my cheeks red.

At my fingertips, the warmth in her mouth and... the sound of water reaching my ear.

"Hmmm... mmm... mmm!!"

Then whenever the uppermost girlfriend tries to talk about something, her tongue moves subtly... stroking my index finger. For some reason, every time, my spine gets freaked out.

"Oh, dear, oh dear. Yes, it's the first aid kit. You think the Seven Seas would be more than happy to do it for you, don't you?

Mutsuko with a first-aid kit while setting up a smartphone handed it to Nanakai, and she finally took her mouth off my fingertips there.

"... sorry, I panicked... just..."

"Oh, yeah... no... yeah... thanks...?

Reddening her face, she took disinfectant and band-aid out of the first aid kit she received from Mutsuko and handled my fingers.

My index finger still has the feel of Nanakai-san's lips. The light on my cheek was unlikely to fit.

"and...... for now, I can't help but notice the injury when you are using the blade!!"

"Oh yeah!! Yeah, I'll be careful!!"

To deceive us, we shout out and then resume cooking.... Mutsuko kept pointing his smartphone at us like that. At first I thought you were taking pictures too... I can't hear the shutter.

"Um... Mutsuko, turn your smartphone on earlier... what are you doing?

"Oh, this? I'm videotaping you two working together ~? For reporting to Shinobu and Yang... and then I wonder if it's material for the video from their wedding?

"Hey?! Mother?!"

Because I can't hear the shutter...... I thought maybe...... I knew you were making a video...... Nanakai is protesting as well, but Mutsuko even seems to have some fun with the way it is.

"Well... that means this will be a good memory too..."

I was muttering to myself like that as I looked at my fingertips, which Mr. Seven Seas had placed on me.
