"It's slow."

"I'm sorry."

I walked over to Okazaki and sat down, scratching my head in embarrassment.

"Just took a detour."

"You won't get lost, will you?"

"How is that possible," glared at Okazaki dissatisfied, and defended me unconvinced, "I'm not a road idiot. ”

…

"What?"

What's going on, what's going on in this quiet scene? Not only did Okazaki look at me with his mouth wide open, but even Apricot and Starling stared at me with UFO-like expressions.

"Ah, that, since Izumi has returned, let's go!"

Hey, why just cross the topic just now!

"Well, then I'll prepare plates and chopsticks."

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Ignore me collectively, be careful that I accuse you! Know that ignoring is a more serious excesses than bullying.

"Come on! You're welcome. ”

Xing happily opened the lid and smiled heartily at us.

"I made the one on the left, and the starling on the right."

I don't know if it's my own delusion.,I always feel that Apricot accentuated his tone when he said "right"?

"Izumi, please first."

This kid actually came to play this trick on me at such a critical moment.

"You're welcome, Okazaki, aren't you looking forward to it?"

Hmph~ I've seen through your conspiracy, don't try to trick me into testing drugs.

"What are you two big men polite? It's disgusting~" Xing looked at us with a disgusted expression, and then stretched out his finger to me, "Izumi, you eat first!" ”

"Huh!"

Me? How can this be, didn't you see that kid from Okazaki covering his mouth and snickering?

"Why are you dissatisfied?"

"No, how could it be."

Even if you are dissatisfied, who would dare to tell you the reason in person?

"Izumi-kun?"

Woo! Starling, you're going to look at me with such expectant eyes, it's going to be stressful!

"Ha, haha~ Then I'll start."

Under everyone's gaze, I had to pick up the chopsticks with a dry smile, pick up an egg roll and put it in my mouth, unexpectedly...

"Delicious!"

It's really an accident, I didn't expect that the cooking skills of apricots are really not covered. I have a habit of saving the delicious food last, so I decided to try the box of apricots first, but I didn't expect it to be so pleasantly surprised.

"Really?"

"Well, the heat is just in place, although the taste is very light, I can feel the taste of eggs," looking at the yellow egg roll in the box, I gave a thumbs up to the apricot, "I really have to get to know you again~ Apricot!" ”

"Is it really that good?" It didn't seem to be able to get used to my praise, Xing scratched her cheeks and smiled embarrassedly at first, but after listening to my next words, her expression immediately changed, "May I ask what does it mean that I have to get to know you again?" ”

Forehead! Wait, wait, you are smiling, but your eyes are not smiling!

"Then, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking," waving my hands in a panic, I asked for help from my embarrassed friend who was watching me happily while organizing the vocabulary in my mind, "Xing, you will definitely become a good wife in the future!" Okazaki, you're right? ”

"Huh, ahh," Okazaki looked at Apricot's expression and smiled bitterly, "Ah, maybe it is." ”

"What are you, you two idiots talking about?!" Blushing like an apple, Apricot sat back as if she was trying to endure something, pointed at me and ordered, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and taste the starlings! ”

"Yes, yes."

Obviously, I praised her well, but why is Xing still angry? A woman's heart is indeed a needle under the sea.

"You're welcome, then."

Although I wondered why Kyoto was glaring at me as if I owed her money as I was picking up the chicken nuggets from the starling's lunch box and putting it in my mouth, I decided to eat it with the starling's expectant gaze.

"Chirp..."

"Izumi, how's it going?"

"Chirp~ Not bad, how can you say it?" As I chewed the chicken nuggets, I closed my eyes and savored the taste in my mouth, "I was full of surprise, especially the thrill of jumping in my mouth, and the impact of the chicken nuggets as if they came to life..."

Looking up, I looked at the starlings earnestly.

"Starling, what an excellent dish."

"Ahh Maybe I didn't expect to get such a high compliment, Starling covered his mouth in disbelief and stared at me with big eyes, "Quan-kun, what you said is true?" ”

"Well, that's really good." In order to confirm my words, I picked up a piece of chicken nugget again and put it in my mouth, "I'm serious." ”

"It's so nice ~ Starling."

"Yes!"

I didn't expect the cooking master to be by my side~ It seems that I really unconsciously defined starling as the girl who only hides behind my sister.

I'm sorry, starling.
