"It's been a long time, and my body is still excited! Really, I haven't run for so long.. No! Is that why this is the case? ”

After separating from Ningxiang, Makoto returns home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info went back to his bedroom, grabbed a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom to rinse.

Makoto had done a relaxation exercise on the way home, but he could still clearly feel every muscle throbbing in his body. Rinsing the hot water from the shower, my body is getting hotter and hotter, but I feel extra relaxed.

……

Makoto has experienced too much during this time, maybe it was venting, maybe it was a change of mood. After rinsing, Makoto suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his whole body was completely renewed. Although Makoto doesn't think such a change is really good, he is happy to accept it.

"Instantly, I'm going to the mall to buy something, is there anything I need to bring back?" When he came to the room of the moment, he saw that she was still sleeping comfortably, and Makoto woke her up a little unbearably.

I don't know if it's because I was so tired last night, but now I'm sleeping very deeply, and I've screamed a few times without the slightest response.

"Forget it!"

Thinking so, Makoto turned around and prepared to leave.

"Yi ...... Rattan...... I'm going too! ”

In an instant, she opened her eyes in a trance, as if because she hadn't woken up yet, and she still had some doubts in her eyes.

"Good morning, Moment!"

"Good morning, Ito!"

……

Makoto Ito's sight.

"Ito, what are you going to do today?"

In the mall, I asked at the moment as one grabbed my arm and the other held the shopping basket that had been empty after a few laps around the vegetable section.

The moment I glanced back and forth, and then looked around me, I felt a little subtle in my heart; Relieved but also a little bitter!

"Instantly, what do you want to eat?"

"Me? Well...... There's nothing special you want to eat. However, if Ito cooks, I would like to eat stir-fried vegetables. He looked down and thought for a moment before replying.

"Stir-fried vegetables? Is it the kind that doesn't have meat added to it? ”

I asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Hmmm! That's it. Momentarily nodded slightly.

"Well, I see! I'll make it for you in a moment. But I don't know what other people want to eat? It's going to be hard! But forget it, let's buy some casually! ”

"Then first cabbage, then cauliflower, then leeks...... Let's have some spinach so you can make a vegetarian soup......"

For the rest of the day, I ran around the mall with Moment, and the shopping basket in Moment's hand was quickly filled. After swapping the full basket into my hand, I took an empty one in an instant. This time we went straight to the snack shelves, and after some careful selection, we took two full shopping baskets to the counter to checkout.

"Thank you for your patronage and welcome to your next visit!"

Amid the sweet laughter of the counter lady, we left the mall satisfied. We held hands, each carrying two full pockets, talking and laughing, surrounded by deep joy, not only did we not rush home, but walked slowly, quite leisurely.

By the time we got home, it was already 10:20 a.m., but even then, no one had arrived by the time we got home.

Having said that, however, time is running out for us in reality. When you get home, put the snacks on the table and put the purchased ingredients in the kitchen. Instantane and I went back to our rooms to change our clothes, and immediately began to get ready to start cooking.

"Now, Ito, what do we do first?"

Walking up to me, wearing a blue home dress and a white scarf, he began to silently help me with the food. Pure, beautiful, cute, and today's moment is still the cold and handsome beautiful girl with a straight face all day long. But in my eyes, she has changed a lot.

Although there was no special expression on her face now, I could clearly feel her joy, her cherishment, her accommodation, and her almost negligible willfulness......

――For me, the moment is a bride sitting on the edge of the bed in a wedding dress and staring at me (the groom). (I don't understand, Du Niang)

"Help me sort out the cabbage first, I'll go stew, wash it and put it in the pot!"

"Just help me with the food in an instant. I'm going to start stir-frying cabbage, and it should be about the right amount of time......"

"Ding Dong!"

Hearing the doorbell, I glanced at Zen. After a second, he put down the cauliflower and kitchen knife in his hand, wiped his hands, and walked out of the kitchen; I turned my head and lit the fire on the stovetop.

"Crackling ......"

Pour the oil into the hot pan, and when the oil is cooked, I pour the cabbage into thin strips and rinse it into the pan in one go.

"Makoto-kun!"

"Ah, Yanye? Let's go to the living room and sit down! The others should also arrive soon, and the meal ...... Meals are ready soon! ”

"Thanks, Makoto! But let me help too! ”

I glanced at Gui Yanye, who was both expectant and nervous, and then turned my eyes and asked what the moment meant. However, she motioned to me: "Whatever, you can call the shots!"

With some headaches, I asked for the moment's opinion again, only to see that she was confused for a moment. The next moment, he said nonchalantly: "Then, Ito, let's reassign the task!"

"Let's go cook first! After cooking, come and help with the dishes! During the time when he was cooking, Yan Ye stayed in the kitchen to help with the dishes for the time being! ”

I paused, thought about it for a moment, and continued:

"After coming back in an instant...... Yan Ye, I'll trouble you to help serve the food. ”

"Help...... Serve the dishes, huh? Yan Ye muttered and lowered his head.

"I see!"

But for a moment, she immediately raised her head, smiled and cheered up.

Perspective shift, Fujino Sakura.

"Are you going to Makoto's house today? I'm really looking forward to it! ”

"Huh? That person.. Isn't that the girl who was saved by Makoto last time we went to play in the foggy mountains together? I remember it seems to be called Kuroda...... Kuroda ...... Let's light! ”

I walked to the downstairs of the apartment where Makoto's house was, and when I was about to go up, I saw a somewhat strange scene:

The girl named Hikaru Kuroda was looking at the ground with her head down, looking hesitant. During the time I watched Hikaru Kuroda, she remained in a position of standing on one foot in the air.

In other words, it's a real credit that she was able to maintain her balance and didn't fall.

"Let's go and say hi to her!"

With that in mind, I walked behind Hikaru Kuroda.

"What are you thinking......

"Huh? Hmmm! ”

Hearing the sound, Hikaru Kuroda subconsciously turned his head, and as a result, his body lost his balance and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" In an instant, I realized my mistake, quickly apologized to her and immediately reached out to help her up.

"No, don't worry, it's nothing anyway!"

Hikaru Kuroda picked up a package that had fallen out of the handbag and looked it up, and when she saw that it was okay, she put her hand on the knot on the front of the package, as if she was going to open it to check it, but she immediately noticed that there was still me next to her, and immediately put the package back into the handbag.

A woman's intuition tells me that the contents of that package must be "that". That being said, it's actually because I also prepared "that". And it was lying quietly in the backpack on my back, so I was too embarrassed to ask anything.

But..

――Everyone is the same.

In my heart, I couldn't help but sigh like this.

"Let's go up together, then!"

However, since she didn't say it, then I won't mention it, so it's better not to talk about it.

"Uh, that's ...... too"

Hikaru Kuroda replied a little absent-mindedly, and it seemed that the previous hesitation seemed to be worried about something.

"Let's go!"

It's really a bit unbearable! Now that you're here, there's nothing to hesitate about.

I have decided that no matter what the outcome, I will never regret it, and I will try to persevere until the end...... And so should she!

I slapped her on the shoulder and nodded at her.

Now, I have to bite the bullet.

Eyes turned back to the kitchen of the Ito family.

"Yanye, stir-fried lettuce is ready......"

"Hmm!"

"Momently, bring the onion first. After a while the potatoes are sliced, I'll try the potato chips......"

"Here, onion!"

"World, go see if the stew is good, I guess it should be about the same......"

"Okay, Makoto!"

"Otome call someone who hasn't come yet and see where she's gone!"

"Got it!"

In the kitchen, Makoto is methodically giving orders to everyone while stir-frying.

After a short while, Yan Ye went into the kitchen and reported, "The lettuce is ready!"

"yes, hard work!"

"Makoto, the stew is ready!" The next thing that comes in is the world.

"Then please take a big bowl in the cupboard, put some of the stew and put it on the table."

"Kazuko Fujino has just arrived, and is now in the living room, coming right away; Taisuke is still on the way, and he says there are still a few minutes; Between the flowers, she ...... She can't get in touch with the flowers! ”

"Words, onions! Instantly, potato chips. ”

As soon as the onion was in the pot, Otome walked in. Makoto handed the fried shredded onion to Yan Ye with one hand, and took the sliced potato slices from Moment's hand with the other, while listening carefully to Otome's report.

"That's right! Great work! Then you all go to the restaurant and sit down, and when the potato chips are ready, you can prepare for dinner. ”

After washing the pot, Makoto vigorously wiped the water stains in the pot with a rag while turning his back to Otome and saying to her.

"Yan Ye is also going to prepare a meal! I'll serve the last dish myself! ”

After Otome went out, Makoto Ito poured the oil into the pot and said with his back to Yanye at the same time.

“……”

Perhaps sensing Makoto's intentions, Yan Ye didn't say anything, but silently withdrew from the kitchen in some frustration.

There are only two people left in the huge kitchen, Makoto Ito and Kiyoura.

Pouring a few potato slices into the pot, Makoto Ito stared sideways at Moment, and after Moment's time to look back and look at him, he whispered, "You go get my phone and call Apricot, okay?"

"I see!"

Without hesitation, she quietly left the kitchen.

As a result, Makoto Ito was the only one left in the kitchen.

I saw him supporting the edge of the stove with his left hand, carefully turning over the already browned potato slices in the pot with his right hand, and a chuckle on the corner of his mouth: "I'm a little too excited!"

"But.."

"Huh?"

"Impossible.."

Makoto, who was staring at the oil in the pot, suddenly froze with a relaxed and happy smile.

In the midst of the sound of oil, he suddenly heard a voice—the voice of a girl who made him wonder what to do.
