That same evening.

It was supposed to be Yukino preparing dinner, but after seeing Yukino return to the room without saying a word as soon as Yukino returned to the apartment, Shota walked into the kitchen very consciously.

If you want to talk about the relationship between Shota and the sisters, Shota wants to be closer to Yangna. It's not just because Yukino went to study in the UK for three years, but in all aspects, Shota admires Yangno a lot.

Thinking about what Yono left alone to say to himself this afternoon, Shota couldn't help but feel a little bored.

Suddenly, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Yukino, who had regained her calm, walked in.

"Shota? It's supposed to be my ...... today."

"Well, I suddenly want to cook, and I'm idle now." Shota shrugged his shoulders and casually answered Yukino's question.

"But it's up to me to do it today."

"Huh? I don't want to taste some weird tastes. ”

"It's so tragic that I was actually underestimated by an orangutan."

"You guy......" Shota reluctantly turned his head to look at Yukino who was sarcastic, "I really want to help you, why are you so tough?" ”

"For me, that's not a good idea."

Forced to squeeze in front of the stove, Yukino glanced at the vegetables in the sink that were being washed by the water, and began to wash them on her own. There was no way, so Shota had to turn to something else.

"Stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers?" Seeing the green peppers in Shota's hands and the lean meat that had been thawed, Yukino's first thought was this Chinese dish, which is quite famous in Japan.

"Well, it's simple and delicious."

"You want to make a salad?"

"Well, after washing the cabbage, let's wash the carrots again, the ingredients are all in the basket over there."

After hearing Shota's words, Yukino took a small carrot without saying a word.

Shota, who didn't get any response from Yukino, thought that Yukino would have his own ideas, such as cooking other dishes or something, and seeing her so obedient made Shota a little surprised for a while.

"Is it because of Yono?"

"What?" Shota's brainless words made Yukino's delicate face wrinkle.

"Well, nothing, don't worry too much."

After cutting the green peppers, Yukino also finished cleaning the carrots, and looked at the progress of the preparation of the ingredients, Shota raised his eyebrows. Because of the sudden addition of Yukino, it was obvious that there was some chaos in the kitchen.

Well, let's make a vegetable salad first.

After putting the shredded green peppers on a plate, Shota took the cabbage and carrots that had already been washed.

Cabbage is to be shredded, while carrots are to be sliced.

Then there were cucumbers and broccoli, and it seemed that they had spotted the speed at which Shota was chopping vegetables, and Yukino handed out the vegetables that had been washed one by one.

And then the tomatoes...... Tomatoes?

"What's the deal with the little tomatoes? I didn't take a tomato, did I? Shota turned his head to look at Yukino in confusion, but he didn't expect to see Yukino's unusually cute scene.

I saw her holding up the spatula in her hand, as if she was about to use the spatula to knock on the natural gas switch installed above the wall.

"Boom, boom, boom."

One, two, three, and the switch still doesn't move.

Yukino's height is not short, but I don't know who designed this house, and it is actually installed in such a high place that even Shota can only touch it.

"Well, did you turn on the gas like this before?"

Yukino turned her head and looked at Shota who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh with an expressionless face, but the attentive Shota still found the other party's slightly reddened earlobes, as well as the cheeks that were obviously more rosy than usual.

Ignoring Shota, Yukino stood on tiptoe again, and the spatula in her hand swung fiercely at the gas switch, and under her angry blow, the switch finally ...... Twisted to a third of the way.

"Poof...... I'll do it anyway! In order to show his long hands and feet, Shota stood on tiptoe and turned on the switch of natural gas through the snow.

Of course, in the process, the bodies of the two inevitably made some contact, but it only touched Yukino's shoulder. However, to Shota's surprise, Yukino retreated to the side with his hands on his shoulders as if he had been insulted.

"You gorilla in heat! Are you really trying to attack me? ”

"What, just a very ordinary touch?"

"Do you want to touch it out of the ordinary!?" As he spoke, Yukino tightened his neckline again.

"What, you're delusional, aren't you? Besides, you're obviously an airfield, and if you try to block your chest like this, you'll be careful that it will dent! ”

"You!?" Seeing Shota's gaze then looking at his chest, a black ominous aura suddenly appeared on Yukino's body.

You know, today she was suppressed by a hateful woman with an incomparably proud figure for the same reason.

"Heh, obviously they are also sisters, why is the gap so big!?"

"Heh, it's like you've seen your sister."

"Heh, I only went swimming with her last summer, what do you say!? You were still in the UK at the time, right? By the way, the contrast will be more obvious in foreign countries, right? ”

"Heh, only the orangutan in heat will only notice these places, and I really have a deep understanding of you and me."

The topic is getting more and more biased, and the festival seems to be becoming more and more rare. Realizing that if they continued like this, they would only hurt each other, and the two forcibly stopped the desire to continue to hack each other in their hearts.

In short, the gas switch has been turned on, and the water in the pot has quickly boiled.

Yukino was about to put all the cut vegetables into the pot except for the cabbage, when Shota's voice sounded behind him again: "You haven't said yet, what's going on with the little tomato." ”

After hearing Shota's voice, he said without looking back, "I took it, you can cut it in half." ”

“…… Decorative? ”

To Shota's surprise, Yukino nodded very simply after a 'hmm'.

Neither Shota nor Yukino likes to eat tomatoes very much, so Shota wonders why Yukino took out the tomatoes as well.

However, since the washing was all washed, Shota had no choice but to follow Yukino's wishes, cut the tomatoes in half, and then put them around an empty plate one by one.

"Tsk, the orangutan is an orangutan, it's really ugly."

Looking at the neatly arranged tomatoes, Shota began to cut up the lean meat and complained, "...... Can we stop fighting and get ready for dinner? How good can this be? ”

All Shota got was Yukino's disdainful look.

The vegetables in the pot were not yet cooked, so Yukino took out the mixing bowl and prepared to mix the seasoning of the shredded pork with green peppers first.

"Hey, hey, what are you going to do?" Shota, who was cutting meat, hurriedly asked after seeing Yukino's movements. There is no doubt that these seasonings will not be used in vegetable salads, so Yukino must be seasoning the shredded pork with green peppers.

"Of course it's seasoning, don't you understand?"

"How can you not understand! But isn't that up to me? ”

"Of course it's up to me...... Do you think I'm going to let you cook this dish? Didn't you just get started? ”

"How is it possible, it's okay to say anything else, I must be better at Chinese cuisine than you."

This is Shota's self-confidence, because he was influenced by the Chinese master when he was a child, and he specifically learned from the chefs of the Celestial Empire.

Although he still hasn't been able to make those glowing dishes.

"Don't you think your dishes are a little salty?"

"It's just that your taste is too light."

Yukino wanted to say something more, but the vegetables in the pot were already cooked, so she had to turn around and take out the contents of the pot first.

"Anyway, let's stop pointing fingers at each other's ways, otherwise we might not be able to eat tonight, how about it?"

"Isn't it because of a gorilla that he insists on staying in the kitchen?"

Shota was speechless, but Yukino didn't say anything more, and there was finally no more sound of the two of them hurting each other in the kitchen.

However, when the two stopped engaging in verbal exchanges, the two suddenly realized that they had such a tacit understanding with each other, they didn't need words, just a look, and they could easily understand what the other party wanted.

There was a lot of delay due to the quarrel in the middle of the way, but the preparation time for this dinner was quite short. Although the prepared dishes are very simple dishes, the unusually tacit cooperation between the two is also an important factor.

At the dinner table, Xue Nai took a bite of shredded green pepper meat, but was stunned in place.

"What's wrong? Why are you stunned? ”

"Nothing, just something unexpectedly delicious."

"Of course, after all, I fired it."

"Although you fried it, I am responsible for both the seasoning and the seasoning of the meat, right? Don't be too complacent about an orangutan. ”

"Obviously has such a cute face, why is the mouth so poisonous?"

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Yukino unceremoniously accepted Shota's praise, "It's undoubted that I'm cute, and if I don't have a poisonous tongue, it would be bad if a gorilla in heat fell in love with me." ”

Shota waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this is impossible." ”
