Mea-san, By Any Chance…(Part 3)
After that, there were many twists and turns, but I’ll spare the details….
“Okay, My dish is ready~♪!”
“I… I am done. Wahhh….”
The two contrasting voices rose, and the dishes were prepared(?).
The three of us immediately took them to the living room table. Incidentally, they had each made one for themselves and one for me. That meant I had to eat both of them, but there was nothing I could do about that. There was no way I could refuse in this situation.
Thankfully, Renjiyou-san was cooking the rice at the same time as she was progressing. If this were a game, I would have felt that the winner had been decided at this stage, but it seemed that this would not be enough.
“Well then Ku-kun~”
“Bon appétit, kuuya-san.”
…Yeah. I’’l have to compare both the dishes prepared by them…
I had no choice but to pick up a spoon and then──
“Here, say Ahh~♪”
“……Eh?!?”
I let out a silly voice when she presented me with a spoon filled with hamburger and sauce, which I scooped up first.
No, it’s not that I didn’t understand what she meant. I mean, I have to eat it right. But…
“Re-Renjiyou-san, that might be a little wrong….”
It’s the kind of thing that loving lovers or newlyweds would do, no matter how you look at it!
I couldn’t help but shout in my mind.
“But, Ku-kun and Me-chan, you’re only married out of formality, right?” Renjiyou-san stared at me while holding out the spoon and said that.
“And it’s not about the two of you, it’s just about your parents deciding to marry you off, right?”
“Well, that’s true, but…”
“And on top of that, you guys are not old enough to get married yet, right? So you don’t know what will happen from now on, right?”
“What? W-well, yes, we don’t know that yet... but…”
“Now that you understand that, say Ahh♪”
“……..”
In short.
I’m being approached by her, apparently! And if Mea-san’s position isn’t solid, she can take her place right away, right? What!?
In other words, this girl’s reaction to our first meeting yesterday was “I fell in love with you at first sight” …Something like this, If I’m not wrong….?
My heart was pounding like, Boom Boom Bang… Of course, this is the first time I’ve ever been smitten by a girl or approached like that. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t happy. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thrilled.
But… is this… okay?
Because, how can I explain? Looking towards Mea-san…
“~~~~~”
“Ahh, Uhmm, Mea-san…?”
I thought that Mea-san was glaring at me with her beautiful eyes, then she quickly brushed her hair off her shoulders and grabbed the spoon vigorously.
“…Say, Ahhー! Kuuya-san!”
Wait, Mea-san, you are coming at me too? You’re not going to let me go!
This is a thorough fighting strategy…! And if this continues….
“Ku-kun. Have mine first, say Ahhー!”
“Kuuya-san… Please, it’s a request, Have mine… Say Ahhー!”
Both Of Them Must Be Eaten!
It’s impossible to eat only one of them, but it’s also unacceptable to refuse to eat both of them.
So the question is which one to eat first…
“The-Then.. I’ll have… Mea-san’s first…”
It’s only natural that I should give priority to my wife, Mea-san, even if we are married because of a promise. I’m a little sorry for Renjiyou-san, but…
“T-thank you for the foood.”
I took a bold bite of the spoon that Mea-san was holding out to me.
“What do you think… Kuuya-san…?”
“Munching... It’s good, just like how you usually cook, Mea-san!”
“Really?!”
“Yeah… the hamburger-steak is cooked properly, and the demi-glace sauce is just how it should be…”
Of course, the hamburger was a bit soggy and there were some flour lumps mixed in with the sauce. But it’s still edible! Considering what Mea-san had been making, it was a huge improvement.
“Really good! You did great, Mea-san!”
“Eheh, Ehehe~ Mea did great…! Fufufu~~ Fufufufufu~~….”
Maybe it was because she was so happy, but she called herself ‘Mea’ again.
It’s really easy to understand this, even though she has a lot of secrets… That’s the cute and adorable thing about Mea-san. And more importantly, the part where her face is red and her body is twisting around. She looks sexy while smiling and chuckling, I can’t stand it. I want to see more! SHOW ME MORE!
It would have been great if that had been the end of it, but──
“Now, Now, I’m next!”
I can’t just eat Mea-sans cooking and not eat Renjiyou-san’s, can I? Huh…
“I don’t know, I don’t know, I wonder if Ku-kun will like it. …Ba-dum Ba-dum.”
And over there, she is putting more pressure on me (my subjective view). So, as a man, I can’t neglect this or it’ll be… bad.
“Th-Thank you for the food. *Bites*“
I took another bite, this time from the spoon that Renjiyou-san had kept offering me.
“Tell me tell me, how is it? Ku-kun~”
“*Munching*… !?!?!?” ──I couldn’t help but groan. It was so different
The taste and aroma spread as soon as I put it in my mouth. Just by taking a bite of the hamburger steak, I could feel the pleasant crunch and the overflowing juicy goodness….
“S-so Delicious….!!”
To be frank, I’m sorry to say this, but it was far better than Mea-san’s.
“Yay!”
As if to add to the deliciousness of the food, Renjiyou-san smiled, like she was bursting with joy when she heard my impressions.
It was frankly adorable, and I felt deeply moved that such a girl had made me such a marvellous and tasty dish.
Just as I was thinking about it, Renjiyou-san’s aura suddenly became very calm.
“If Ku-kun liked it so much… I’ll make as many as Ku-kun wants from now on.”
“Wha……?”
“If Me-chan is your Wife… then… I’ll be your ‘commuting wife’… I guess, Heheheheh~~…”
“Re-Renjiyou-san…?”
─That heartly and cheerful word made me shake in terror.
She had always been very aggressive, but when she suddenly developed such a calm atmosphere, I was really surprised… I couldn’t help but notice the difference that’s really scaring me…!
I thought.
“I’ll also fulfil that gap, okay!”
Renjiyou-san’s expression suddenly changed, and she smiled with her usual bright and cheerful smile.
“If you have any problems with cooking, I’ll be happy to come back and give you advice.”
“Ahh, okay, thanks…”
“Ehehe~~”
─ Such a weird exchange between us.
“*Nom* *Nom* *Nom*, delicious, even though she was my opponent, I can’t help but praise it, delicious….! *Nom* *Nom* *Nom*”
Mea-san was glaring at Renjiyou-san while munching on Renjiyou-san’s hamburger steak.
That night, I cooked dinner.
“This homemade recipe book that Renjiyou-san left for me is amazing. Even someone like me was able to quickly cook a meal that looked exactly like in the picture because it was so well explained.”
As I flipped through the pages, I was impressed once again.
Yes. After that, Renjiyou-san left this recipe book and went home.
I can’t say if they were perfect, or if it was the book that still needed some improvement… Anyway, the conclusion is that I was able to make a meal out of it…
Of course, there was a reason why I cooked my first meal.
“Renjiyou-san, she’s amazing, right… in many ways.”
“………”
“Has she always been like that? Mea-san.”
“…………………………” ──And since noon, Mea-san has not been talking to me.
I can only guess that she’s curled up from her navel because I gave a better reaction towards Renjiyou-san’s hamburger steak than I did to Mea-san’s….
But that still doesn’t change the fact that I don’t know how to react with delicacy.
“A-anyway, let’s eat, Mea-san. I think I did a pretty good job.”
“….Thank you for the food.”
Still, when she eats, she puts her hands together properly and says ‘thank you for the food’, which is what Mea-san usually does in front of me…!
But… after that…
“*Nom* *Nom* …wow, the meat and potatoes are full of flavour!“
“…….”
“I’m glad the rice wasn’t overcooked, really.”
“…………….”
“Cooking rice is very easy you know, I think I’ll be in charge for it from now on~~”
“…………………………..”
No matter what I said, Mea-san continued to stay silent.
Am I supposed to apologize for this? It was a bad move from my side, saying Renjiyou-san’s hamburger steak is better.
No, I’m really sorry, but it’s true that Renjiyou-san’s one was more delicious… Mea-san probably knows the difference between their current skills…
Hmmm… what am I supposed to do now…?
(….Is that not the only thing that Mea-san is sulking about, by any chance…?)
I suddenly had a feeling.
Which is it then? I didn’t understand.
