Naoki Natsume turned his back to the senior sister, thinking that there was a group of people between the two and the senior sister was still busy, so he shouldn't be able to see it.

He devoured Asai's lunch box, and could tell that he hadn't eaten in the morning, and now he was indeed hungry.

This also confirms from the side that Asai has a good grasp of him, living together for so long, he already knows how much he eats and how hungry he will be.

This level of tacit understanding is far beyond the scope of the maid's work, but both of them are pretending to be stupid and using the maid contract as an excuse.

"Octopus sausage!" Naoki Natsume said indistinctly.

He peeled open the rice with a fast child, and there were a few sausages cut into octopus flower knives hidden inside, which was eye-catching.

Asai looked at Mio Izumi, who was slowly walking behind Naoki Natsume, and suddenly the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

"Well, your bento is better than those fancy restaurants." Naoki Natsume lowered his head and said in sincere admiration.

Asai was satisfied, and she thought to herself that Mio Izumi should have heard this.

And it was exactly as she expected.

After Mio Izumi came over, he suddenly heard Natsume-kun praising Qingmei's craftsmanship, and he was stunned at first, and then his brain was thinking quickly.

Did Natsume-kun's childhood sweetheart come to bring him a bento to eat?

Did you hear that Natsume-kun was coming to help on Saturday, so I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat?

Sherlock Izumi Mio finished thinking in 0.3 seconds.

"Didn't Natsume-kun eat in the morning?"

The sudden concern made Naoki Natsume shudder.

It should be warm care on weekdays, but at the moment it is so embarrassing.

Naoki Natsume turned around, thinking to himself, why did Senpai come over?

Wasn't it just over there that I was busy arranging the campus festival?

"Ah...... It can't be said that I didn't eat it. Naoki Natsume thought about it, and Asai was merciful enough to make an egg and warm a glass of milk.

Although half of the glass of milk was poured by her for her sister to drink.

Mio Izumi was thoughtful, then looked at Asui: "That...... Asai san, right? ”

"It's rare that Senior Sister still remembers me." Asai Mao replied without being salty.

At this point in the mission, Asai Mao is no longer afraid of disrupting Naoki's progress in retrieving the fragments because of his appearance.

Then she doesn't have to endure everywhere when facing Mio Izumi and Chizuru Amamiya.

It's time for these two to feel the horror of being dominated by a maid!

"Is it the bento you made for Natsume-kun?" Mio Izumi asked.

Asai smiled slightly: "He told me that he was going to work today, and he hadn't eaten enough in the morning...... There's really no way, when he was a child, he didn't like to eat breakfast and go to kindergarten, and then pestered the aunts in the kindergarten with a dead face to ask for something to eat. ”

"It's a shame to think about it, in order to prevent him from pestering any outsiders to disturb people, so I have to learn to make bento for him since then, and I'm used to it."

Naoki Natsume stuffed a large ball of rice in his mouth, and his eyes were round and he looked at Asai, which seemed to mean that he was asking if this compilation was too outrageous, right?

Asai gave him a blank look, not wanting to explain.

Mio Izumi looked at Naoki Natsume and whispered, "I didn't expect Natsume-kun to be like this when he was a child." ”

Naoki Natsume wanted to refute it, saying that she made it all up to fulfill her lies, and that she and I actually only met this year, and it was the maid my mother hired for me to take care of my life.

But if you really say that, won't the matter of the golden house in your home be exposed?

Who can tolerate their boyfriend having a woman living at home?

That man can accommodate his girlfriend who is living with someone else?

Then I'm afraid that the matter between myself and my senior sister will be over.

My own reputation!

Naoki Natsume wants to cry without tears.

But unexpectedly, in the next second, Mio Izumi's small hand was lightly clenched into a fist, and he put it to his mouth and smiled, like a silver bell.

"Natsume-kun was so naughty when he was a child, but now he is much more stable, and sure enough, people always change...... But I'd love to see what the mischievous Natsume-kun looks like. ”

Yes......

Didn't Senpai actually think that Asai's description was like a little rascal?

Naoki Natsume scratched his head.

is the so-called lover's eyes, as long as Naoki Natsume is not a traitor, then there is a filter in the eyes of Izumi Mio.

"Doesn't Senior Sister have her own things to do?" Asai prepares to give an eviction order, and although she doesn't mind going head-to-head with Mio Izumi, she is worried that her Shura field with Mio Izumi will affect Naoki Natsume's meal.

He didn't eat enough in the morning because of his little temper, and he would never be disturbed again when he was eating a bento.

Naoki Natsume didn't know that he just wanted to cook now.

The bento made by Asai is so delicious!

Mio Izumi looked at Naoki Natsume's happy appearance, and thought to herself that this bento was made by herself, how nice would it be?

The virtuous wife prepares dinner at home, and the husband comes home to enjoy the bowl of food, with a happy expression as he does now......

Mio Izumi feels that such a day is the perfect married life in her mind.

If the husband is Naoki Natsume again, it will be complete.

So, even though she was very shy, she decided to say it.

As the saying goes, a big man can bend and stretch, and the same is true for a woman.

"I ...... I'm a little hungry too. Mio Izumi's voice was small, and her cheeks were rosy: "Do you still have any extra lunch?" I'll pay for one. ”

As soon as these words came out, both Naoki Natsume and Asai were a little confused.

When he was at home, Asai jokingly thought that if Mio Izumi was also attracted by the bento she made herself, he wouldn't mind letting her try it too.

Listening to Natsume Naoki, Mio Izumi is not good at cooking and has almost never cooked, so she took this opportunity to see how big the gap between them is.

But I didn't expect it to be just a joke, and now it's come true.

Naoki Natsume, on the other hand, is more upright.

Senior sister also ate an egg and a cup of milk in the morning?

"You're Natsume's senpai, and I heard him say that he was taken care of by you in the sports club. If you're hungry, please enjoy it, it's weird to collect money. ”

Asai said as he took another bento from his bag, "Here." ”

She really made an extra one, ready to give it to Izumi Mio.

Mio Izumi took the lunch box and pursed her lips.

In her eyes, Asai-san's performance looks like a virtuous wife humbly repaying favors for her husband, just like the kind of "My husband is usually taken care of by you, please accept this thing." ”

So Izumi Mio inexplicably developed a kind of envy and jealousy in her heart, what is going on with this old husband and wife-like lifestyle?

The tacit understanding between gestures...... It's like they're really living together.

Forget it, since envy of the bento made by Asai makes Natsume-kun feel delicious, then he shouldn't focus on jealousy of Asai, but should think about how to make his own food capture Natsume-kun's stomach!

When I opened the lunch, the hot air on my face showed that Asai had warmed up the lunch and immediately came to school.

She looked at the exquisite shape of the bento and the balanced nutrition, and silently wrote down the side dishes.

Seaweed, sausage, fried pork, half a hard-boiled egg......

Under the pretext that he was hungry, he asked Asai to buy a bento, but of course it wasn't Mio Izumi who was really hungry.

It's that she wants to see what the bento box that can make Natsume-kun praise is what it tastes like!

Be sure to keep the taste of today's bento in mind!

In the future, as long as I have free time, I will use it to cook until I make this taste!

"I'm moving!"

Mio Izumi sat down next to Naoki Natsume, and Asai raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.

This is probably the calmness of the head of the family.

After eating what I made, no matter how untamable my temper is, I will eventually bow my head, just like the tanuki cat at home.

Mio Izumi took out the quick seed, first took a small portion of rice and dipped it in the soy sauce in the lunch box, and put it in her mouth.

Rice and soy sauce are not very particular, they are just ordinary steamed rice.

This gave Mio Izumi a little more confidence in catching up with and surpassing Asai.

At least the rice can make the same style.

Then there are the side dishes.

She set her sights on fried meat, which was the most challenging skill.

"Huh? This tastes ......."

After Mio Izumi ate a small piece of fried meat, he was stunned.

Why does this smell so familiar?

But there's no denying that it's really delicious.

This is probably the most delicious bento I've ever tasted, and it's even better than my dad's bento.

Mio Izumi's mother is not very good at cooking, so she has either bought the bento since she was a child or made it by her father.

Mio Izumi's father, on the other hand, is usually very busy at work, and he has limited time to cook in the morning, so he doesn't make a bento like Asai with 100% care, usually making it the night before and putting it in the refrigerator, and putting it in her schoolbag when it heats it up in the morning.

Although it saves time, it is definitely not as good as getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning to make a delicious meal after the next night.

"Is this the smell of my father?" Mio Izumi frowned slightly.

Is it familiar because you remember the taste of the bento made by Asai as your own bento from a snack to a large one?

No, it's not.

I feel like I've just tasted it recently.

Why......

Mio Izumi suddenly realized.

She remembered!

This taste is really the same taste that her father made for her, but it was not a bento, but two days ago.

On that day, Mio Izumi woke up early on his day off in order to make Naoki Natsume what he liked to eat at the school festival.

When she woke up, she put on her pajamas and went to the kitchen, where she started preparing the ingredients and learning how to cook along with the YouTube videos.

Cooking is a pleasure, but preparing the ingredients and tidying up the dishes and pots is the most frustrating.

Fortunately, Mio Izumi has the motivation to keep her going.

Her dear Natsume-kun.

Being able to hear Natsume-kun smiling and saying delicious at the campus festival made Mio Izumi feel that her busyness and the band-aids on her hands were worth it.

That morning, Mio Izumi's father couldn't help it anymore and got up early to help his daughter.

Under his father's questioning, Mio Izumi just blushed and said that he wanted to cook for a boy and let him try his craft, but he didn't say who.

After a brief period of anger, loss, melancholy, and relief, Mio Izumi's father finally accepts the fact that his daughter is in love.

And then he joined in.

Mio Izumi showed her father the YouTuber's video, and his father was thoughtful and began to follow the video with her.

They made a lot of food that morning, and in addition to hot dry noodles, there was also Japanese-style fried meat.

The taste that my father made is almost the same as the Japanese-style fried pork in this lunch box!

Mio Izumi figured out what she thought was the familiar taste of fried meat, but then another question arose.

Why?

She looked at Asai who was sitting by the flower bed reading a book, and Asai seemed to have an aura of awareness, and at the same time put down the book and looked at her.

"Isn't the bento to your taste, Izumi-san?" Asai asked.

The universal maid has extreme self-confidence and ensures that her craftsmanship will never be unpalatable.

Then if you have a problem, it must be a problem with your taste.

Mio Izumi shook her head: "The bento is delicious, but I want to ask Asai-san, who did you learn to cook from and can make such a delicious bento." ”

In front of Asai's eyes, a picture of a young boy standing on a bench who is not yet as tall as the stove teaches him to cook various Chinese foods, saying that hot dry noodles are the most delicious thing in the world, and teaching him Mao-chan, who can cook for him later.

At that time, he was so young that he learned to deceive people, saying that there is a tradition in China that men will get married after eating hot dry noodles made by women, and they will get married when they grow up.

The naïve Asai actually believed it, and then for a long time because of the awkward relationship between Naoki Natsume and other children because of the family who was Naoki's wife, she would move out the hot dry noodles thing.

In addition to Natsume Naoki when he was a child, there are also two women who also appear in the memory.

Brother Naoki can only cook Chinese food, so those Japanese meals are taught by others.

It's those two women.

They laughed at each other in the kitchen, and together they made up her short but happy childhood.

"If you ask who taught me how to make fried meat, I can only tell you that a woman taught me." Asai didn't want to say much about his childhood.

With that, Asai continued to read.

Mio Izumi was thoughtful, and it seemed that Asai had also watched the YouTuber's video, and the things he made tasted exactly the same.

Thinking about this, Mio Izumi is very happy.

She's in the right direction, since Asai and herself are learning the same person's video, and the food made by Asai makes Natsume-kun like it very much, so what she makes shouldn't be too unpalatable, right?

After eating all the bento in his hand, Mio Izumi regained her spirits.

"Thank you for the lunch, Asai-san."

"It's nothing, it's just a thank you for taking care of Natsume all the time."

Mio Izumi returned the lunch box to Asai, said a few words of thanks, and continued to work.

She has to make sure that the stove used in the school festival is foolproof so that she can make delicious food for Natsume-kun.

Naoki Natsume also finished eating the lunch, and he looked at Asai, "I can't tell if you're acting or real." ”

"What are you talking about?" Asai asked rhetorically.

"Regarding the fact that we are childhood sweethearts, I always feel that either you are too deep in the play, or you are ......" Naoki Natsume thought about it, raised his eyes to look at her, and was very serious: "What you said is actually true." ”

Asai was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"Did you know me when you were a kid?" Naoki Natsume frowned: "I can't remember what happened when I was a child. ”

Asai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

He's become so smart.

It's just that the mind value is enough, and it's already so smart, if the fragments are completely recovered...... Can he still remember the past?
