I Don’t Like Endings Where the Person who Cheats Gets Forgiven, so I Will not Forgive Her - Chapter 34

Chapter 34

“……”

In the morning, I wake up seeing a different ceiling than usual.

…ah, that’s right. I remember now, Kaori-san and Setsuna convinced me to stay over the night at their house.

In just my underwear, I play with Setsuna’s bangs as she peacefully sleeps.

Just like a cat, Setsuna presses her forehead into my palm, so I continue to stroke her head and she drifts back to sleep looking happy and relieved.

I actually want to watch Setsuna’s cute sleeping face a little longer, but Kaori-san has probably already started making breakfast.

Since she has let me stay over for the night, I want to at least help with something.

With that, I give Setsuna a kiss on the cheek before leaving the room.

After washing my face and fixing my bed hair, I peek into the kitchen.

As expected, Kaori-san is already awake and preparing breakfast.

“Good morning, Kaori-san.”

“Ah, good morning, Yukito-kun. You’re up early.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. Old ladies like me tend to wake up early in the morning, but people Yukito-kun’s age usually sleep until noon, right?

“Well, I don’t usually sleep until noon, but at home, I do tend to wake up late. Also, Kaori-san, you’re not old at all. I always think that you’re such a beautiful lady.”

“Hmm!? Yukito-kun, you shouldn’t say such things so casually. Some people might take it seriously, you know?”

“…yeah, you might be right. But Kaori-san always makes self-deprecating remarks about her looks, so I just couldn’t help it.”

“U-Umm, well, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Kaori-san turns her face away, mutters something to herself, then let out a cough before turning back to me.

“I’ll make breakfast, so Yukito-kun, please just relax on the sofa.”

“No, I want to help you, Kaori-san.”

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

“But I can’t just stay here without doing anything. You’ve let me stay over for the night after all. Please, let me help you.”

As I look straight into Kaori-san’s eyes, it seems that she understands that my mind won’t change, so she chuckles and says,

“Okay then, I’ll leave the miso soup to you, Yukito-kun.”

“Got it.”

Kaori-san and I are working together side by side.

It’s not particularly unusual for us to cook together.

Since I’ve stayed at this house a few times before, I’ve helped with the cooking each time.

I know roughly where everything is, so we work quite well together, not getting in each other’s way.

…apparently, Yukina is not home today, when I asked if we should make breakfast for her too, Kaori-san said that it’s not necessary.

I’m glad to hear it because it saved me some trouble.

As we’re about to finish cooking breakfast, Setsuna comes into the living room.

“Good morning, Setsuna. We’re almost done making breakfast, so go wash your face and wait.”

“Y-Yeah.”

Setsuna seems a little embarrassed, then she heads to the bathroom.

In the meantime, I plate the freshly made breakfast and bring it to the table.

“Setsuna, you know that Yukito-kun is a really hard worker…or rather, very dependable. He’s just too perfect that it’s almost a problem.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, he’s cool, kind, and perfect in every way. I think he should rely on me more, and I should be the one doing the household chores, but yet, he insists on helping me.”

Setsuna who has returned without me noticing, hugs me.

So, I gently stroke her head, she is smiling happily.

“Why did you suddenly stroke my head?”

“It’s nothing special. Isn’t it normal that I want to spoil the person I love?”

“Hmm!! You always say such sweet things so casually!! I love you so much.”

For some reason, Setsuna said so with a hint of irritation and lightly kissed my cheek.

Perhaps it’s because we are in front of Kaori-san.

“Alright, alright, save the lovey-dovey stuff for when I’m not around. Besides, the breakfast will get cold, you know?”

“T-That’s right, I forgot about that. Shall we eat?”

Setsuna quickly takes her seat and put her hands together.

Kaori-san and I exchange smiles at Setsuna’s behavior, then we both sit down and clasp our hands together.

“““Itadakimasu.”””

As we eat, I look at Setsuna’s reaction.

“Hmm, this miso soup is delicious. Did Yukito make it?”

“Yeah. I’m glad you like it, Setsuna.”

“It’s so delicious! I wish you can make it for me every day.”

Setsuna is blushing in embarrassment as she says so.

‘I wish you can make it for me every day.’

Is that like some kind of proposal?

Was she conscious of that?

“Of course, I’d love to do that, but let’s talk about it more slowly, okay?”

“Y-Yeah.”

As Setsuna turns her face away in embarrassment, I smile at her endearing demeanour.

Kaori-san coughs and give us a meaningful look.

“I’m here too, you know.”

“S-Sorry.”

“It’s fine, but I appreciate it if you both can hold back a little.”

Perhaps we got a little carried away.

After that, the three of us enjoy the breakfast together.
