The first thing she always does when she goes to the kitchen is to open the refrigerator to check on Kako Kitagawa, and for the Nth time, she finds that the lunch she prepared for her daughter and Takeshita Kusaokei has not been touched. She was helpless and sighed in her heart, and she really didn't want to ask more about the situation in the family. I really don't know what their excuses are. According to the usual logic, she expected that the two of them must be eating out again. Could it be that the food you cook is so unpalatable?

Thinking of Kitagawa Kako here, it is inevitable that she will not have a better sense of frustration. I was sulking all my life, and I directly poured the food in the two lunch boxes, one large and one small, into the trash can in the kitchen. Saying that she would never cook for them again, she reached out and put on her apron again, and had to prepare dinner for them and for herself.

Kitagawa Kako, who was busy opening, heard the doorbell ring suddenly. She needed to look at the food cooked in the pot, and she didn't have any skills, so she just turned her head and said loudly: "Takeshita-kun, you go and open the door." I just can't leave. ”

Takeshita Kusaoke, who did not sit motionless on the couch as in the past, took the initiative to stand up and head towards the main entrance. When I opened the door, I saw that the visitor was Sakai Chie, who had no strangeness with her for a long time, and said bluntly: "You came at the right time, we are about to have dinner, let's go together!" ”

Sakai Chie, who didn't show her polite side, entered the door with the shoes on her feet off, and on the other hand, she "snapped" her hands and smiled happily: "As soon as I get off work, I'll drive towards you." Dinner hadn't been eaten yet, so it happened to be just in time, which was really nice. ”

After finishing speaking, she walked straight inward as if she was going back to her own home. First stood at the door of the living room to greet Kitagawa Miyuki is Sakai Chie, on the one hand, he handed over some of the various flavors of pudding he brought to Xiao Lori, and on the other hand, he had to let the other party call himself "Aunt Chihui", and leaned over to let Miyuki kiss him before he would give up.

Chie Sakai, who was not in a hurry to talk to Takeshita about the short story "Dancing Queen", knew that there was a time to talk to him slowly in one evening. He shifted to his side and headed towards the kitchen again. Trying to roll up her sleeves, like many women in the show, she regarded cooking as a compulsory course in life. It is a very happy and beautiful thing to be able to let your family and the people you like eat the food you cook with your own hands.

"Need my help?" Chie Sakai, who was smiling, stood in a direction and distance that did not hinder Kako Kitagawa from doing things. It's not a hypocrisy, she's honest.

Kitagawa Kako, who has been acquainted with her for a long time, does not treat her differently because she is the daughter of a rich family, nor does she deliberately make friends because she is the responsible editor of Takeshita Kusaoke. She sincerely regarded the other party as a friend of hers, but she didn't be polite to Sakai Chie, and said directly with a smile: "You came just in time, then help me put the dishes and chopsticks on the table!" ”

Sakai Chie, who also responded to her with a smile and a "good" word, didn't like the other party to be polite to herself, after all, it would be a good point. When she is busy, she really likes this kind of family feeling of being together with many people.

Takeshita Mustard, who didn't return to the living room to sit down on the couch and continue to watch cartoons with little Lori, crossed his hands on his chest, and leaned on the left side of the kitchen door frame with his body center of gravity, only said that he smiled without actual action: "Do you need me to help?" ”

"Thanks, no. You're only going to do us a disservice. Sakai Chie grinned as a writer with dishes and chopsticks on the table, and a writer who treated him as his friend, not a business dealing.

"Now, I don't want to help. You can help eat it in a moment. Kitagawa Kako, who turned sideways, added with a smile on her right hand with a stainless steel spatula.

I don't know when Miyuki Kitagawa, who didn't stay on the living room couch to sit watching action movies and eating snacks, suddenly appeared, and also interjected and repeated a sentence in a milky voice: "You can help eat it in a while." ”

Takeshita Kusaka glanced at her standing on the right, and then looked at Kitagawa Kako and Sakai Chie in the kitchen, and blurted out with a smile: "You are really three women in one play." ”

"That's right! We are just three women in one play. Chie Sakai, who was smiling a layer above the water color of the red ground, responded.

After another quarter of an hour or so, the four of them sat around the table. Kako Kitagawa, who knows how to treat one hospitable person very well, added two more dishes and brought a champagne that Takeshita Kusaoke bought back and three glasses to drink this kind of wine. After all, no matter what, it was the first time for Sakai Chie to eat at her own house, and the necessary etiquette was still indispensable. Even if the other party is a frequent friend, you still have to pay a little attention to it.

Miyuki Kitagawa, who had a lot of snacks in her stomach and hadn't digested them, didn't eat much with chopsticks, but sat next to them and watched them. After drinking two glasses of champagne and eating some dishes, Chie Sakai, like friends having dinner together, said whatever she wanted, instead of deliberately talking about the scope of work: "Takeshita-kun, I have already read the short story "Dancing Queen" you sent me. It's wonderful. How did you come up with the idea of writing a novel in such a romantic literary style? ”

"No, it won't! Although I didn't read the short story "Dancing Queen", with my knowledge of Takeshita-kun's literary style, it was definitely another tragic ending. Kako Kitagawa, who didn't see the content of the conversation as serious, interjected and said.

"Bingo, that's true." Sakai Chie, who nodded slightly, still looked at Takeshita Kusaoke, who was sitting opposite, and wanted to find out what was going on.

"Actually, it's very simple. There was a famous character named Chen Shimei during the Northern Song Dynasty in China, and it was from this that I was inspired to write a similar Japanese Chen Shimei, Toyotaro. Knowing that he was making up the source of inspiration, Takeshita Mustard didn't talk nonsense, after all, he did tell the story of a negative man who abandoned his wife and children in Germany.

Sakai Chie, who did not doubt its authenticity, was relieved in his heart when he heard him explain it like this. Knowing that Takeshita Kusa can speak fluent Chinese, she also believes that the other party must not have read less books about ancient China, and with his erudition, it is natural to write good works one after another.
