"I'm back."

Of course, he didn't get any response, and Shota just wanted to inform the other person in the apartment.

Walking into the house, Yukino was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, holding a copy of "Love Metronome" in his hand, and he didn't look at Shota.

However, Shota is used to this kind of Yukino.

"I'm so sorry, Yukino."

"Is she alright?" Ignoring Shota's apology, Yukino raised her head and asked casually.

"Well, it's not a big deal."

Yukino bowed her head slightly, closed the book in her hand, and got up and walked to the restaurant.

"Let's eat."

"Huh? Haven't you eaten yet? ”

Yukino didn't reply, but just motioned for Shota to come along quickly, and this reaction made Shota acquiesce that Yukino hadn't eaten dinner yet.

Shota was already ready to cook something to eat casually, but he didn't expect that Yukino not only didn't eat it himself, but also prepared Shota's portion, and waited until Shota came back to have dinner together.

"I've worked hard for you today, I've hit an orangutan that is one size bigger than you again, and I'm sending someone to the hospital again, I'm very tired."

"Uh......"

Although, Xue Nai's tone and expression are the same as usual, but these words are definitely not what Xue Nai will say

There's definitely something wrong with that!

"So, I specially prepared a famous British dish, after all, half of your blood is from the United Kingdom, and the British will like this dish very much."

"British Famous Cuisine ......"

Shota thought about it, but he didn't think about what kind of famous cuisine Britain has, after all, some people even say that Britain is called the 'grave of foodies'.

While thinking about it, Shota who walked into the restaurant didn't notice it, Yukino stood at the door of the restaurant, and when Shota walked into the restaurant, he used his body to firmly block the restaurant behind him.

"I'm tired! What is this!? ”

As far as the eye could see, there was a large plate on the table, and it seemed to contain a pie, if you ignored the whole roasted blackened fish head that had emerged from the pie.

The miserable white fish eyes and the slightly open fish mouth are all facing the direction where Shota came in, and the area near the mouth is even blood-red, which is simply a model of death.

Realizing that this inexplicable thing was the dinner that Yukino had prepared, Shota jumped back sharply and shouted, "This, this, this...... Isn't this looking up at the stars? What kind of British cuisine is this! ”

"Huh? Doesn't count? Leaning the door of the restaurant against her back, Yukino pretended to be surprised and asked, "Isn't the first reaction when people think of British cuisine nowadays to look up at the starry sky?" ”

"Well, that's a fallacy! At best, it's dark cuisine! ”

"Don't worry, it's something I've done with great pain, and it's taken me quite a bit of effort."

If it was usual, if Yukino said such a thing, Shota would definitely feel that he was blessed, after all, Yukino's cooking skills were really good.

However, what is in front of you is looking up at the starry sky.

It can also be called - Death without Blinding.

"Let's, can we not eat? We don't have much appetite right now. ”

The panicked Shota even exploded directly with an inexplicable mouth fetish, but Yukino still looked unmoved.

"Don't worry, I'm doing it very hard, at least, I won't die."

"Why do you want to make a dead man! Also, if you put your mind to it, why is there still blood in the fish's mouth? ”

"Ah, because it's so disgusting, that's the only way to go."

"Such a disgusting thing, why do you want me to eat it!"

"How can it be something disgusting?" Xue Nai completely forgot his last sentence, "This is a yellow croaker with quite delicious meat, plus thick almond syrup, let's try it quickly." ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Why do you put almond syrup? Where the hell is this recipe!? ”

What a terrible dish is a stargazing pie made from yellow croaker and topped with a thick layer of almond syrup? What kind of ill-intentioned person can come up with a dish?

In desperation, Shota suddenly remembered that Yui, who seemed to be a classmate who specialized in restraining Yuki, tentatively learned Yui's tone and shouted: "Xiaoxue~"

“……”

Suddenly, the air in the restaurant seemed to be frozen by the cold air from Siberia, and Shota's bare arms stood on end.

"Uh, that, I'm just ......"

"Disgusting."

With eyes that looked as if she were looking at garbage, Yukino coldly spat out these two words before turning around, opening the door and leaving the restaurant.

This...... It should be considered a success, right?

Looking at the back of Yukino's departure, Shota breathed a sigh of relief. In short, the most important thing for Shota now is to throw away this damn yellow croaker, it's too oozing to look at.

Not wanting to look at the starry sky pie, Shota hurriedly came to the kitchen with a plate and threw it into the trash can along with the fish and the plate.

"Huh? Why is the rice cooker still on? ”

Shota looked at the rice cooker curiously, and suddenly realized something. Turning the rice cooker on, a burst of hot and humid water smehers Shota's eyes, but the wonderful scent is enough for Shota to confirm his suspicions.

"Xue Nai, this guy is still so awkward, I'll just say that she is tonight, how could she suddenly be in the mood to make such a prank." Thinking of the dead yellow croaker that he threw into the trash, Shota couldn't help but have a helpless wry smile on his face.

……

……

After saying goodbye to Shota outside the station, Isshiki first went to the convenience store he frequented and bought a lot of things as usual, but the gauze on his face made Isshiki spend a lot of time explaining to the enthusiastic clerk aunt.

Carrying a large plastic bag in his hand, he walked sideways in the direction of home.

It was heavy, but she was used to it.

The house is naturally empty, and my mother is still working the night shift. Because of Isshiki's sudden decision, the family's finances suddenly became a little unaffordable, and even if Isshiki had worked as many jobs as he could, it was still extremely difficult.

As for his father, Isshiki hadn't seen that man for a long time.

The moon hung high in the night sky, and in the dim moonlight, the street lamps had been on for a long time. By the glimmer of light coming from outside, Isshiki sorted the things he had bought and put them away, and began to prepare a simple dinner.

In the rice cooker, there was still some rice left from the morning cooking, so Isshiki decided to make chazuke in the evening, and just bought a tea-stained powder packet at a convenience store and poured it directly over the rice and soaked it in hot water.

Suddenly, the screen of the one-color mobile phone lit up, and the somewhat dazzling light made her can't help but squint her eyes, and finally saw the caller ID on the screen.

"Teacher Kasumiko?"

Although it felt a little strange, Isshiki quickly connected to Shiyu's phone.

"Teacher Kasumiko, good evening~"

"Yes, yes, it's okay, don't be so polite, I just rushed up subconsciously, if I reacted, I might not dare to move because I was afraid~"

"Well, well, it's just a minor injury, it's not a big deal."

"Uh-huh......" Suddenly, the smile on Isshiki's face disappeared, "Yes, he's my ex-boyfriend." ”

I don't know what Shiyu on the other end of the phone said, Ichise's face was soon covered with struggle and unwillingness, and the white teeth bit tightly on his lips, making people worry about whether the lovely cherry lips would be bitten in the next moment.

"Yes...... I'm still not reconciled to ......"

After seeing Shota and Yukino in the burger restaurant that day, Isshiki thought he had put Shota down. However, the panic on Shota's face and the temperature in his palms today made Isshiki understand that he was just deceiving himself.

However, the breakup was proposed by Isshiki, and she had no right to blame Shota for being with other girls. The reason for all this is simply because of the ridiculous self-esteem in Isshiki's heart.

"Tomorrow...... I got it, I'll be on time. ”

Teacher Kasumi Shizi, it is an ulterior plan to make herself her assistant. I'm not stupid, but after today's events, I already have a vague guess in my heart. However, for Yishi, who is confused in her heart, someone needs to tell her what to do.

In the light of the phone screen, Isshiki let out a long sigh and began pouring hot water into the rice bowl with cold rice.
