- Chapter 26 - Cute Temporary Wife and Cooking 1
Yuki succeeded in getting out of the house safely and was immediately freaked out by the curious stares of the residents in the neighborhood.
It had been less than a minute since she had started walking. Even just walking outside normally was tough for Yuki.
“Y-Yuu… not yet?”
The courage she had shown earlier had fizzled out, and she was ready to crawl in if there was a hole in the ground. I was pondering how I could distract Yuki, but an idea came to me unexpectedly quickly.
“Hey, Yuki.”
“What?”
I crossed my arms with Yuki and gestured for her to put her head on my shoulder. We are about the same height, so it’s a position we can get into.
“L-Like this? Ah… somehow it feels good…”
The shoulder pillow, if you can call it that, was very effective. The jitteriness subsided, and a relaxed look came over her face. This is the position that Yuki would later adopt.
However, in my case, the situation is that Yuki’s face is very close to mine, so it’s very exciting. The distance is such that I could kiss her just by turning my face to the side and bringing it a little closer.
“Fufu, I’m so happy.”
“For what…?”
“Yuu’s heart is pounding for me.”
“If you can say that, then you have the energy to go to the supermarket now, don’t you?”
“Eguu…”
“I think we have seasonings and stuff at home, but we don’t have the ingredients. We could go out to eat, but Yuki can’t, can she?”
“Yes… at the supermarket please…”
Instead of suggesting the option of going to the apartment early, I gave her two choices: supermarket or eating out. Eating out requires visiting the restaurant in person, which is too much of a hurdle for Yuki.
The supermarkets are a good place to stock up on groceries, which reduces Yuki’s workload. Of course, there are many ways to deal with this, such as dropping Yuki off at her apartment and shopping alone, buying something to take home, or ordering delivery.
However, these methods would not be good for Yuki.
Besides, I intend to correct Yuki so that she will be able to go out without any qualms while living with me.
“You usually cook from Yuka-san’s hoard of ingredients, don’t you?”
“Yeah… But it’s Okaa-san’s choice, and the quality of the ingredients is neither good or bad, so it’s disappointing…”
“If that’s the case, I wish you’d let me know. And I’d rather eat Yuki’s home-cooked food than eat out.”
“Yuu… I got it. I’ll do my best to make a delicious meal for Yuu!”
I’m so happy to see her working hard for me with such enthusiasm that I ended up patting Yuki on the head.
“Mufu, let’s go then.”
“Sure.”
Yuki and I walk together as we get on our way to the supermarket. It was somewhat refreshing and fun to have someone walking next to me outside.
**** ****
“Ah, I miss this supermarket.”
“You used to come here?”
“My mom used to bring me here. Well, let’s not talk about the past, what do you want to eat today?”
The name of the dish came to my mind immediately after Yuki asked me that.
“Curry maybe.”
“Curry, huh…? I was thinking, Yu doesn’t say “anything is fine” or something like that, does he?”
“Cause, it’ll be a problem. I don’t want to trouble Yuki. That’s why I say what I want to eat.”
“Uuuu〜”
Yuki suddenly started trembling. But it was due to embarrassment, and I was puzzled.
“Yuu is a womanizer, isn’t he?”
“If Yuki says so, I guess. It’s just for Yuki though.”
“Mou, Yuu likes me too much.”
“I really do.”
“Hauu〜”
I don’t think I would have said this before, but now that Yuki and I are lovers, I didn’t want to hide my true feelings. From now on, I’m going to tell Yuki how much I like her.
“I’m going to die from Yuu’s love…”
“Then I’ll watch over you so you don’t die.”
“I think I can write a novel under the name… “About My Boyfriend who keeps coming on to me.””
“Then I’ll do the revisions.”
“It’s too embarrassing! I can’t endure the torture of it being read and edited by the people involved!”
“It’s okay, if you’re going to write a book, let’s make it into a serialization.”
“The scale has increased…”
“Then I’ll write a novel under the name ‘About My Girlfriend Being Too Cute,’ so we’re both on the same page, aren’t we?”
“…Yuu’s an idiot! You idiot!”
Apparently she had exceeded the capacity of her embarrassment gauge.
I walked into the supermarket with Yuki, taking the punches from her as she pounded me with her blows.
**** ****
“Yuu can’t say ‘I love you’ to me for the time being.”
“Okay…”
Surprisingly shocking. I wanted to tell Yuki how much I liked her. But I’ve gone too far today, so I’m going to hold back and ask about the curry ingredients.
“If it’s curry, is it made with ribs, carrots, onions, and potatoes?”
“Yes, that’s right. Then let me tell you about the carrots first.”
Yuki and I push the cart to the vegetable section where the carrots are located.
“Well, first of all, pick one that has a darker overall reddish color.”
“Then this one?”
I took a big reddish carrot. I could eat a lot of these. But Yuki shook her head.
“No. the correct answer is this carrot.”
Yuki took a small carrot.
“It’s small.”
“It’s good, you know? Carrots are more tender and tasty when they have a dark reddish color and small stems. And the green stems are the freshest.”
“Hoo…”
I put some of those carrots in the basket and now onions next.
“I know onions. You want the round ones, right?”
“Correct. Well done.”
Yuki patted my head. It’s somewhat new to have Yuki do that for me.
Like a vegetable…
…I pretended that that didn’t just happen, and I stroked Yuki’s head to thank her.
“Ehehe, next up, potatoes…”
“And they’re round and thin-skinned, too, right?”
“One down, two to go…”
It seems I was right. But…
“It was a match. What does the loser do?”
“…can I just sleep on your lap?”
“Are you sure you want to do that?”
“I-I’m sure.”
“I see. Even after I was done with my choice of ribs, Yuki is being so nice.”
“Uuu…. But, it doesn’t matter if Yuu takes it off. It’s a draw.”
“I’ll definitely win!”
I bet on my beloved girlfriend’s lap pillow and proceeded to the meat section, the stage for the final battle.
