Chapter 4: A chain of problems
“……………….”
“…What is it…”
Miyu and I went to a shopping mall near our house to buy a change of clothes for Miyu, and after buying a complete set of clothes, we returned home. After that, I had Miyu take a bath immediately, and started preparing dinner a bit earlier than usual. I finished cooking dinner about the same time as Miyu got out of the bath, and as I was putting it on the table, Miyu was silently staring at me.
“This…Did you make this, Kazuya-kun?”
“Is there anyone here besides me?”
“Impossible…”
I made this evening's dinner, which consisted of boiled fish, rice, salad and miso soup similar to what you’d find at a set meal restaurant. I cooked the rice before I left home, and bought the fish at the grocery store while Miyu was shopping for underwear and other things she didn't want me to see.
I chose Japanese food to warm up our bodies and to help soothe Miyu's grief-stricken
mind, if only a little. However, judging by Miyu's reaction, it seems to be a bit unpopular…
“You don't have to say that much….Are you allergic to seafood by any chance?”
“I'm not allergic to anything. And that's not what I meant when I said it was impossible.”
“Then what is it?”
“Kazuya-kun…Why are you able to cook normally?”
“Eh? I mean, I wouldn’t be able to live alone if I couldn’t cook normally, would I?”
“That’s true but…Your cooking skills are even better than mine, so it was a bit of a shock.”
“I’ll feel complicated if you say it to my face…Let’s eat before it cools down.”
“That’s true too.”
Miyu then sat down in front of me. When I say ‘sat down’, we don’t have a proper table or chairs, but rather a desk that folds into a low dining table, so we were sitting on floor cushions.
“W-well then, itadakimasu.”
“Itadakimasu.”
Even though I said ‘itadakimasu’, I couldn’t start eating with my chopsticks. This was the first time in my life that I had ever served food to a girl, but would it be to her liking? What would I do if she said it didn't taste good? If she said that, I’m confident I’d be unconscious from the shock of it all.
“…Delicious.”
“Eh?”
“I knew it would be good from the look of it, but it has a sort of tender taste.”
“…I see. Thanks.”
I was furiously happy to be told that it tasted good, but my embarrassment inevitably outweighed my happiness.
“Are you not going to eat, Kazuya-kun? Besides, your face has been red for a while now…”
“I-I’ll eat! It’s because uh, it’s because the room is hot!”
“Is that so? It’s just right for me though.”
“Well, don't worry about it.”
“?"
Miyu wondered for a while, but by the time she finished her dinner, she didn't care anymore.
“Thank you for the food. It was delicious.”
“You flatter me.”
“Kazuya-kun, go take a bath. I'll wash the dishes.”
“Really? Sorry about that.”
“You don’t really have to worry about it. Kazuya-kun is my master, you know.”
Miyu smiled at me, like a mischievous child. So she can make these sorts of expressions too, huh…
“I’m honestly begging you, please stop calling me ‘Master’…”
After saying that, I headed towards the bathroom. Then I noticed something. The water in this bath is the same water that Miyu was soaking in earlier…When I think about it, I feel like it would be a sin to soak in the same water but… It’s not really my fault or anything but…
“Yeah. it’s impossible.”
I didn't soak in the tub, just took a shower and left the bathroom. But at that time, I was unaware of another serious problem.
“That was fast, wasn’t it?”
“…That’s how a man bathes like.”
I can’t say it…that I was too nervous about going into the same water as her…
“That’s how it is.”
“Speaking of which, did you bring your school materials?”
“Uhh? I’ll have to return to my house before it’s demolished tomorrow…”
“…I see.”
“? Aah, don’t worry about it. I’ve already made my peace with it so…”
I felt like I messed up, and even though she said to not worry about it, I didn’t miss the fact that Miyu strained her face for a moment to hold back her tears.
“Ah…”
“Kazuya-kun? What's wrong this time?”
“There's only one futon in my house…”
