The closing ceremony ended in the morning.

On that day, Elisha did not return to his house, but went straight to his house.

Both of you change into personal clothes, and lunch is done lightly at the nearby coffee shop.

Then I started preparing for Christmas in earnest.

With regard to ingredients, Yu Chong had bought the items as specified in advance, so he only cooked afterwards.

"Well then, Yu String. I'm cooking, so please decorate."

"Yeah, I got it."

It's a string that doesn't usually decorate Christmas, but today is a day to spend with Ai Lisha.

If you think so, it's strange because you're naturally motivated.

And by the time Yu String finishes decorating.....

The smell seemed delicious.

"Yuji, I'm ready. Could you help me set the table?

"Oh, okay."

Baguette.

Avocado and Shrimp Lease Salad

Beef stew.

Roast chicken.

Fried chicken.

Fries.

Christmas cake.

That was today's menu.

By the way, except for the baguettes I bought at the bakery, they were all handmade by Alisa.

Well, let's have a toast.

Yucho removed the bottled drink from the refrigerator.

It is clear and beautiful, with carbonated bubbles in it.

"I was wondering... is it champagne?

"If so, what about Elyssa?

Yuji asked half of the joke... and Alisa thought for a moment before she answered.

"... no. I'm a minor, but I don't drink alcohol. I'll scold you."

"It's tough.... but don't worry. Because this is juice."

Champagne-style apple juice.

In other words, it is a non-alcoholic beverage.

... In fact, Yu Chong usually drank alcohol at Christmas and the end of the year when his relatives gathered, but this time he really weighed himself up.

It is a judgment that Alisa would be angry.

"Well, let's go out for a bite because of the atmosphere. If it doesn't suit your mouth, you can leave it. I also have other drinks."

"Yes, I see. It's a corner."

Yucho prepared a glass of champagne and poured juice into it.

And with Elisha, I put on a glass.

Well, here's to it.

"Yes, cheers."

Small and hit each other with glasses.

Then take a sip of juice.

Because it only looks like champagne, the flavour is different from champagne.

But it was a refreshing, tasty juice.

"What do you think? Alisa"

"You might like this quite a bit."

That's how Alisa smiled, took a sip and showed her.

Even though it was not a real alcohol, Elyssa's skin was slightly uplifted and slightly glossy.

"Well then, let's go... and have some cooking."

"Yes, please."

Yu string reached out to the leash salad because he dared to start with an appetizer.

It is decorated beautifully like a Christmas wreath, so it looks very beautiful, but....

"Yeah, it's delicious. The dressing made by Alisa is better than the one on the market."

"Thank you very much. I'm making it to match the vegetables I use for my salad."

That's right.

When Yu said so and praised, Erisa blushed her cheeks embarrassed.

Then scratch the poly and cheeks.

Very cute.

Next, mouth the beef stew.

The meat melted loosely in my mouth.

"This meat is soft."

"I simmered it for a long time.... it usually takes too long, so I can't, but I'm good at cooking."

Alisa said with a little pride.

It's only good food, and it's very delicious.

Other dishes were also very delicious.

But more than that....

It's fun.

"Thank you very much.... if you praise me so much, it's worth it."

"... well, Ai Li Sha's dishes are definitely delicious."

When Yushi said so, Alisa inclined her neck strangely.

Beautiful linen hair shakes slightly.

Emerald's eyes stared at the string.

"What's the matter?

"... after all, I think it's fun because I'm with you"

Of course, Alisa's cuisine is delicious.

But more than that.

The food we eat with Alisa is delicious.

"Well... well, what is it? It's a little smelly to dare to say this."

Yu String scratched his cheek.

I feel my face getting hot.

"Thank you for spending the day with me. It's really fun.... could you hang out with me again next year?

"Yes, yes.... happily."

Alisa nodded and answered embarrassed.

Somehow Yustring felt floating.

Now, I felt like I could say words that I couldn't say because I was embarrassed.

"Alisa."

"... what is it?

"... will you cook for me from now on?

When Yushi said that, Erisa's expression hardened.

And a little late, my face turned bright red and dyed like a boiled octopus.

"... Alisa?

Yustring called out to Aisha, who was silent.

And Elyssa turned to me, and stretched her spine.

"Ha, yes! Yeah, well, gladly!

And Elisha held Yu String's hand.
