Basically, my life consists of someone taking care of me.

No, I think it's rarer for a high school student to be able to live without looking after someone... but I still think I'm pretty much in the category of being looked after in many ways.

That's what I've been so upset about lately.

First of all, not to mention my parents... I owe it to my father and mother that I'm safe in high school. I'm not traveling right now, but he's still bothering to come home on his day off.

I have Nanami make lunch for me. Moreover, these days it comes with dessert.

Dinner is made while interrupting Ibaraki's house and teaching Nanakai-san and Mutsuko to cook, and then with the rest of the family.

My presence, as a regular, is also open to family meals for everyone to have a pleasant dinner.

After dinner, a study group in Mr. Nanakai's room… is the routine that has increased recently here. Because of that, I felt like my understanding of a subject I didn't like was progressing......

And... Harukichiro (Rei of course) will drive me home on my way home, and when I get home, I will be discussing my future progress with my fellow Soshagee, Baron and Peach.

The fact that you put all this effort on me makes something warm gush up in my chest every day. The moment I take this for granted, I'm sure I'll be the worst man.

So daily gratitude is important.

At least, I'm sure I can't sleep with my feet pointed at the Ibaraki family, and I don't know where Mr. Baron and Mr. Peach live, but if I suck, I may have to sleep standing with my feet pointed nowhere.

Well, even if that's a joke...... that's how many different people take care of me.

One day there were days of peace while I took care of him like that... on the third Friday after me and Mr. Seven Seas started dating... it happened.

"Oh, you...... what's wrong? Oh, you do...... yeah, don't worry about this one, you shouldn't be too unscrupulous, huh? Ugh, well, that's a good idea ~. I will ~"

Mutsuko's smartphone is contacted by Harukichiro. The peaceful conversation between the couple, Nanakai and I accidentally stopped and watched the cooking hand.

And right after the call, my smartphone got a message, too.

"Yangshin-kun, I'm sorry. There's been a sudden drinking party in today. It's going to be a lot late. Alcohol goes in, and I don't think I can send it. '

Such a message of apology......

Instead, it's only thanks for sending me every day, and there's no way I can complain about anything I can't do. I feel more sorry for being apologized for even though I've been taking too much care of you.

"Don't worry, I appreciate you sending me all the time. I'm fine, so enjoy your drink today."

I haven't had a drink in high school yet... but let's hope it's a fun one. My father is weak on alcohol, but he often comes home in a good mood after a drinking party.

That's how I think...... I got a strange reply.

"Thank you. I have an old one for pajamas and stuff, so I don't hesitate to use it"

I tilt my neck in that reply. [M]

"Okay, thank you"

Though I gave it back... no, what do you mean, I'll use Harukichiro's pajamas?

I think that one. Like I got clothes before, were you planning on giving me my pajamas today? I'm kind of sorry to keep you looking out for me.

When I was tilting my neck, Nanakai-san confirmed the phone call to Mako.

"Father, are you going to be late today?

"Yeah, he said it was a drink. That's why he said he didn't need dinner."

"Well, then you want me to say it a little sooner... Was there radish and leeks?

Mr. Seven Seas, who was cooking with him, was fishing for Goso Goso and the fridge. I tilt my neck at the sudden appearance of a vegetable that I don't use for today's menu.

"Mr. Seven Seas, why radishes and leeks?

"Dad, when I get back from drinking, I'm gonna have a hot cup of tea and a cup of rice flavored with ponzu with radish grate and green onions."

With the removed radishes and leeks in both hands, Mr. Nanakai sighs. Around making preparations while complaining, it seems to convey my feelings for Harukichiro.

"Well, I'll grate the radishes. Mr. Harukichiro takes care of you, and I hope that's about it."

"Oh, then I guess I'll ask you. If my righteous son finds out he's made it, he'll be happy."

Something makes me a little uncomfortable with the way Mutsuko calls me... but it's my fault, isn't it? Did Nanakai also feel a strange nuance, looking at Makoto with a half-eyed jitty eye?

"... wouldn't it be better for your mother to do it, Father?

Are you trying to fight back on a daily basis at all, Nanakai tells Mutsuko that, but Mutsuko never moved.

"Well, yes, something you always love. But sometimes a dish with a different kind of love is a good thing, huh? In Yangshin-kun's case... Is it family love?

"Yes, yes, it's a treat"

"Is that ~?... Could it be the Seven Seas... jealous of your father? That Yangshin-kun's cooked rice can be eaten alone?

"Why would I do that! Ugh!"

Watching such a smiling parent-child interaction, I peel off the radish skin with a peeler, then cut it into quarters, then start grating the radish.

"Is that it? Yangshin, you know how to do that a lot? I thought I'd teach you how to grate radishes..."

"Yeah, I've been watching cooking videos lately. 'Cause this happened to be in there."

Seeing as how I grate the radishes, Mr. Nanakai seems just a little bored. She wanted to teach, and maybe she wanted to teach me.

Actually, there was also a feeling I wanted to show you a bit of a good place... From now on, let's ask Mr. Seven Seas first before we do it?

"Well no. The main thing today is marinated and grilled salmon...... Yangshin, can you grate a little more? There's a lot of oil, so I can match the radish grate."

"Oh, yeah. Okay, I get it."

Speaking of dumplings, Mr. Nanakai-san used to make daikon grates. I miss you.

While I grate the radishes, Nanakai-san cooks the salmon soaked in a soy sauce-based sauce in a frying pan.

With the fragrant smell of appetite, I could hear the pleasant sound of oil staining out of the salmon called juju. I can tell it's delicious at this point. The smell alone makes me want rice.

"Sounds like a couple working together."

Mutsuko also takes a video of Nico and this... it's the usual sight.

"Mr. Seven Seas...... I need a favor, okay?

"Mm, what? Please... could you have something to eat?

"No, you know what... with the oil left over after cooking the salmon... can I try stir-frying the rice?

"To?"

I look sideways at Mr. Nanakai and say something that made me want to try. Just a thought... I think it's a masculine idea or the best combination of rice, oil and soy sauce.

"It would be nice if Yangshin wanted to try it... it's unusual to say it out of yourself. Can you do it alone?

"Yeah, check it out."

"If it's stir-fried rice, I think it's better that way because there's leftover cold or rice in the fridge. After that, you can use the ingredients freely."

When I receive the frying pan I finished baking salmon from Mr. Seven Seas, I remove the ginger from the refrigerator with cold rice and tubes. Then add the chopped onions and tube ginger to the oil left in the frying pan to make the fire just a little stronger.

When the green onion and ginger have a fire, add cold rice and press it with a hella to unwrap the rice...... then add the shards of the body that were in the case where the salmon was soaked and fry the rice even further.

Once the rice is somewhat loose, turn it on high heat and scorch the rice just a little bit. Aromatic smell of soy sauce and salmon drifting around. My stomach snapped by accident. [M]

"Haha, a cute noise rang from Yangshin's tummy. You're already hungry. Is it time to eat?

"Yeah... but before you do... Mr. Seven Seas, may I have a look at the flavor?

"Hmm? Good. Wow, you look amazing. Smells good."

I put the stir-fried rice on a spoon and try to offer it to Mr. Nanakai for a taste. I dare... I try to get Nanakai-san to eat first without talking to me myself.

From the spoon offered, Mr. Nanakai mouths my fried rice...

"Yeah! Awesome delicious!! Yangshin is amazing that you fry rice in the oil out of the salmon. But this... looks delicious and fat. It's a chunk of rice and oil!

Nanakai-san took a bite, then smiled happily but troubled. Sure, sautéing rice with the rest of the oil may be prejudicial, but it feels like "man cooking".

But the purpose for which I made this... is something else, right?

"Nanakai-san, this is it... the first dish I ever cooked alone... Nanakai-san."

In one of my words, Nanakai's eyes dotted with a happy smile until earlier... he stared back into my eyes. I'm a little lighted up, but I keep looking into her eyes and saying things.

"No, Harukichiro is very helpful to me... I knew I was the first cook I ever made by myself... and I wanted Nanakai to be the first to eat..."

"Yangshin... Yeah... I'm so glad"

Nanakai-san stares at me like she's thrilled.

I live cared for by all kinds of people. Harukichiro is one of them. There is no such thing as superiority or inferiority there.

But I... Still, in many ways, I wanted to think of Mr. Seven Seas the most. Whatever triviality.

Well... I don't know if I can put my chest up with a dish that just fried rice.

Nanakai-san was delighted, so it turned out to be Aurai.

"Oh, that's good, you two. Yangshin, I want to eat that dish too."

"Ah too... why are you just cooking and your sister and brother-in-law are so flirtatious... I ate it, too."

... Shit, I forgot Mutsuko is videotaping me...

Besides, I'm home to Sha Ha (Saya) at some point... yeah... maybe I should have thought of a place.

"Damn!! Yangshin made this for me so I eat it!! It's mine!!"

"No, Mr. Seven Seas... I... I've made quite a bit of it, and you can't have one of these on the boulder, can you?

Like a waste child, Mr. Qihai claims ownership of a large amount of stir-fried rice in a frying pan. But I also made it without thinking about the quantity, so Mr. Seven Seas on the boulder wouldn't be able to do it alone.

"But... Yangshin made it for me..."

"The first one I ate was Nanakai-san... let's all share it today.... If I get any better at cooking... now I'll cook just for Nanakai-san."

"... constraint? Finger-cut."

"Yeah, promise"

Me and Mr. Nanakai cut fingers. Nanakai-san's little pinky finger tangled in my pinky finger and exchanged promises...

"Hello? Have you both forgotten... before us?

I get a scratch from Shaba-chan. I'm sorry, I didn't forget. I'm hungry, so Nanakai-san and I dine together and the four of us start eating together.

Today's menu consisted of marinated salmon, tofu salad, eggplant miso soup and pumpkin simmering and Japanese cuisine… I made stir-fried rice to create a strange combination of Chinese dishes.

Nonetheless, all three of them ate the dishes I had cooked alone. Really, I'm glad you're happy...

Finishing dinner for the four of us and cleaning up...... Mutsuko called out as me and Nanakai tried to study in the room.

"Yes, Yangshin... do you want to take a bath first? Or maybe later?

"Yes?"

Me and Mr. Nanakai stop on the subject of the abrupt bath. When you two tilt your necks wondering what that means. Mutsuko has also tilted his neck.

"Is that it? Didn't your father tell you? Because I can't send it today... I'm off tomorrow, and because of that, I was talking about asking you to stay...?

Uh... so I didn't hesitate to use my pajamas to my liking, and Harukichiro sent me a message... I was convinced...

What... staying? Who did?

... me?... to Mr. Seven Seas' house?

"Yep, yep, yep, yep?!"

The screaming and similar stunning voice raised by me and Nanako at the same time resonates with the Ibaraki family... Mutsuko is looking at me and Nanako who are surprised without breaking Nico's smile.

... I thought it would end with my event called "First Cooking" today... apparently it will be the day to experience the double "First Time" called "First Night".

No, I don't do anything unhealthy. Still, given the way things are going... I was unexpectedly nervous and sweating weird on my back...
