"Speaking of which, Snowcastle"

"What is it?

While playing the game, Yuji spoke to Aisha.

Alisa answers with her gaze on the game screen.

Until a few hours ago, I wasn't even ready to manipulate the bundle... but now it's improving enough to be able to talk to Yu String.

However, Yu Chong, the opponent, was also very bad at it.

"Your food was delicious. [M] It was exquisite."

At that moment, the character operating Elyssa made a strange move.

Looks like the button was operated incorrectly.

Really?

Alisa returns with a flat voice.

... I can think of Erisa, who was surprised by just praising cooking before, in Yu's brain.

(... can you win this?

After losing, Yuji decided to play a psychological battle.

"The meat jaga was delicious. The sweetness and saltiness were just right, and there was also flavor and richness. Was the bonito soup working?

"It's a delicious season for new jaga and onions."

"The miso soup they made was exquisite. The balance between the ingredients and the stock was just right. It's really amazing where you're taking dashi from bonito and kelp. Recently, granular dashi is well made, and when a bad guy tries to take dashi, it doesn't taste good... but when a good guy takes dashi properly, it's totally different. And this is my personal preference... ah!

Because I was thinking of praising Alisa's cooking, Yu String, who lacked concentration, was attacked by Alisa's character's special action and defeated brilliantly.

"Drowning in a strategist means this."

"Did you notice?"

"It's too obvious. Mostly, it's too abrupt. It was too deliberate."

Absolutely true.

may have to be partially corrected.

"It's true that I oversaid it, and it may have been a compliment, but it was true that it was delicious. I also like the taste."

Really? Well, I'm good at cooking there. It shouldn't taste bad. "

Is it true that the same hand does not work many times?

Despite Yu's compliments, he didn't look particularly upset and smiled as usual.

Since it was a corner, Yuji decided to focus the conversation on cooking.

"Do you like cooking?

"... it's not like that. I'm used to it. It's a fact that we usually cook at home."

"Hee, that's amazing. People who can eat your food are happy."

"... is that so?

That's how Alisa smiled.

It was a slightly hairy, cynical smile that made a mockery of itself.

"Like Takasegawa-san, it's worth it if you compliment me."

"I'm not flattered. Your food was really delicious. [M] I feel like I want to eat again."

"... is that so?"

Then Elizabeth turned back to Yu String.

Sitting on your back, stretching your spine... turn around and look at your expression, turning your jade eyes covered in long eyelashes to the strings.

Unexpectedly, Yu String also corrected his posture.

"Well, what's the matter?

"Well, do you want to eat today?

Huh?

"The cake was a treat, and if you like... I'll make it. If you don't like it, it's fine."

It was an unexpected proposal.

Around 5: 30.

White rice.

Miso soup with spring onions and tofu.

Japanese-style hamburger (grated with daikon root, grilled mushrooms, boiled broccoli).

Root vegetable stew.

Spinach relish.

Dashimaki Egg.

Cold slaughter.

And more luxurious meals lined the table than I imagined.

There are two more dishes than when Elyssa made them for me before.

"Speaking of which... you said you usually make more than four dishes."

The string murmured.

The words at that time weren't lies, but they usually made + α in a soup and three vegetables.

As a string, it's all surprising, but the expression is that Ai Lisha is nothing.

"It's no big deal. I just bought some tofu and served it."

Even if you remove it, there are four dishes.

If you're making this all the time... isn't it a lot of hard work?

Nevertheless, Yu Chong didn't say anything about it.

"Sorry. Make something so luxurious and delicious."

"Thanks for the cake and the game. The cost of ingredients is half, and I'll let you eat them too... I usually make them, so there's nothing wrong with that."

"No... the cake and the game are a thank you for taking care of me, so I don't want to be returned."

Yu String smiles bitterly.

It feels like a lot of things have been lost in the reward of borrowing.

"By the way, you usually make it at home, right?... is your family dinner okay?

The string asked what worried him.

Alisa has already told her adoptive parents that she would not shake Yu Xing for dinner and would be eating with her.

Yu Chong, who wanted to eat Arisa's food again, was reluctant to do so... but I was worried that she would not be angry with her adoptive parents for doing so.

"When I told Takasegawa-san that I wanted to cook, he told me to grab my heart and stomach. Do you want that much? Payment"

She raised her corner slightly and smiled with her nose and said so.

Such a ridiculous and silly smile.

"Regardless of your mind, your stomach is grasped."

You're good.

"No, it's true. For a while, I was suffering from Snowcastle Forbidden Disease."

"This is a nasty joke.... Shall we eat soon? It's going to get cold."

He had a stunning expression and said so with a cold voice.

The air was cooler before the food.

Yustring put his hands together and then took the chopsticks.

Drink a bite of miso soup.

Yeah, it's delicious this time too.

Really? Well, I haven't changed the way it's made. Of course it tastes the same. "

"Having a steady taste is evidence of good cooking, right?

"It's too complimentary. If you remember the amount, there's nothing wrong with it."

Alisa replied calmly.

Yu Chong, who decided that even if he repeated too many words, it would only make him thin, stopped giving a detailed impression of the taste of Aisha's cuisine.

Yu String moves his chopsticks even though he doesn't say it, thinking it tastes delicious.

Then....

"... was it so delicious?

About half of the time, after eating, Alisa asked me that.

Yushi wonders why she asks such a question now.

"I told you that earlier.

"No... because it really looks delicious to me."

After saying that, Alisa turned her attention to Yu String's plate, where most of the dishes were gone.

And I asked in the calm voice as usual.

"Would you like me to replace you? I still have hamburgers, simmered goods and miso soup."

"I definitely want it."

Really?

Alisa stood up when she received an empty plate from Yu String.

Then he turned his back to the string and headed to the kitchen.

I couldn't see the look on his face....

After all, Yuki was convinced that it was not a compliment.
