Episode 32

A beeping alarm sounds.

I somehow managed to extend my arm and stop my smartphone alarm.

Nn? I wonder what it was. It’s like something squirming on my bed.

When I took a closer look, Karen was sleeping there comfortably.

Arre? Did we sleep together last night? Did she perhaps fall asleep in the wrong room due to intense sleepiness?

“Hey, Karen~?”

Even if I shook her, she would snuggle in and continue sleeping all the more peacefully. She just doesn’t seem to wake up at all.

Well, it’s still just 6 o’clock, furthermore a holiday. She must have been fatigued since we also had a sports festival just the other day. I guess I can let her sleep a little bit longer.

However, I was utterly awoke by the shock of Karen sneaking into my bed and sleeping on me comfortably.

Now, what to do about this situation at hand?”

…Right~ How about I suddenly surprise Karen a little over here.

For example, probably by making Today’s breakfast, I guess.

… That will be good. Let’s do just that.

I always felt a little guilty for always relying on her to do all the household stuff. So let’s show Karen that I can also make an excellent breakfast for ourselves.

As I had that decided, I was quick on to act.

I got up from the bed, went straight to the washroom, washed my face and hands well, and stood in the kitchen.

Now then, it’s okay that I decided to make Today’s breakfast as it was, but since I don’t usually cook anything, there’s no way I could make a great dish all of a sudden. So perhaps simple bacon, eggs, toast, and a salad would be my limit.

Thinking so, I took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, put them in order on the shelf, and started cooking.

After starting, The bacon and egg should be completed in about ten minutes, however…”

“Aren’t these just going all too bad?”

The bacon would quickly overcook, the fried eggs would burn till black, and all in all, it looked just the worst.

If that was going to be the case, scrambled eggs would have been much better in the end.

…But I still got another chance. I still have the ingredients for the bacon and eggs that should have been left for me to use.

I have no choice but to do it perfectly. Right here and now.

Ten minutes later.

“Is it really impossible for me?”

Overall it’s less burnt than the first time, but it was still a lot inferior to that when it was made by Karen by herself.

I start feeling a little pathetic, but I pull myself together and prepare nevertheless.

Bacon and egg, salad, lettuce, and tomato.

And last but not least, having the bread toasted without burning using a toaster. The most convenient tool developed by our civilization.

I arrange them all on the plate and then go on to line them up on the dinner table.

And after yet several tens of minutes later. Karen rushes into the living room with a big bang opening the room door.

“Ni-nii-san?”

“Good morning. Karen.”

“Did Nii-san end up making breakfast for Today? These over here?”

“Uh, un. That’s about right.”

Karen was dumbfounded, stupefied in her own place, with her expressions disappearing from her face.
