When I Let My Runaway Senior Stay at My House, Beautiful Seniors Started Gathering Around Me - Chapter 9: The One Who Fills the Blonde Gal’s Heart

Chapter 9: The One Who Fills the Blonde Gal’s Heart

“……………”

“Hmm, hmm, hmm~♪”

Is this a dream or reality? No, it can only be reality.

(A senior girl… is cooking in my kitchen…)

Humming happily, Arisa-san is preparing a meal.

After school, we ran into each other by chance, and she overheard my phone call with my mom. Then, she offered to cook for me. With her expectant gaze fixed on me, it was hard to refuse… or rather, I couldn’t resist the temptation of someone offering to cook for me.

(A senior girl’s homemade meal!? Of course, I’d be curious…!)

Even so, I was honestly surprised.

Hinata-san had told me she was terrible at cooking, and with Arisa-san’s obvious gal style, I assumed she wouldn’t be good at it either.

But… Arisa-san was different.

“Yeah, this is looking really good. Now I just add this… and then—”

Arisa-san seemed incredibly skilled at cooking.

Of course, I was curious the moment she said she would cook, but I never expected a high schooler to be this good. Well, I suppose if someone likes cooking or is naturally talented, it’s possible. Still, seeing a girl my age cook this well was genuinely impressive.

“So it’s not just something from manga or anime…”

“What is?”

“Nothing.”

Shortly after, a beef stew was served on the table.

Arisa-san mentioned that if she had known in advance, she would have made a variety of dishes, but honestly, just the fact that a girl cooked for me made me happy enough.

“I-Itadakimasu!”

“Enjoy~♪”

With Arisa-san smiling brightly at me, I picked up my spoon and took a bite of the stew.

I’ve had beef stew plenty of times before, but the one she made was so delicious that I finished it before I even realized it.

“You ate really fast. Was it that good?”

“Uh… yeah, it was seriously delicious.”

“There’s more if you want seconds.”

“…!”

“Hehe~, wait right there~!”

I ended up having two more servings.

Arisa-san apologized, saying it was just beef stew, but I didn’t understand why she was apologizing. After all, she had cooked something so delicious and warm for me.

“Delicious, sure, but more than that… it’s warm.”

“You mean like, it’s hot?”

“No, not like that. I mean, it warms my heart.”

“…Hehe, I see.”

“So don’t say ‘sorry it’s just stew.’ I’m really satisfied.”

“…Okay♪”

All the way until I finished eating, Arisa-san kept smiling at me.

I felt a little embarrassed being stared at so intently, but I didn’t dislike it.

“I really like hearing someone say my food is delicious. Takuya never cared, though. He’d always just brush it off.”

“……………”

Even as she said that, Arisa-san kept her smile.

Well, there wasn’t much I could say. I had only heard her side of the story, so making any judgments wouldn’t be right. But considering her younger brother actually called her a ‘shitty woman,’ I could tell he really must have said that to her.

“Alright, let’s do the dishes.”

“No, no, I’ll do them!”

I quickly moved to stop Arisa-san as she started carrying the dishes.

I had been so caught up in the natural flow of things that I forgot—this was my house, and Arisa-san had cooked for me. Letting her wash the dishes on top of that would be too much.

“I don’t mind, though.”

“But I do.”

Standing beside Arisa-san, I washed the dishes with her.

She seemed genuinely happy, smiling the whole time as she talked about how much she enjoyed doing this. It was obvious she really loved her brother. It was heartwarming, but at the same time, I wanted to shake that guy and ask him what the hell he was doing. Not that it was my place to interfere.

“…Ah.”

“Arisa-san!?”

Just as we finished the dishes, Arisa-san stretched.

Then, as if her knees suddenly buckled, she lost strength and almost collapsed—so I instinctively reached out to support her.

“……………”

“……………”

Honestly, she probably wouldn’t have fallen even if I hadn’t caught her.

Still, my body had moved on its own, and now we were standing face to face at an incredibly close distance.

With one hand on her back, supporting her, I opened my mouth.

“…It was seriously delicious.”

“Huh?”

“The stew you made, Arisa-san. It was really good.”

Even though I had already said it before, the words came out naturally again.

Arisa-san looked dazed for a moment, then she smiled as I helped her stand up.

“…I really like that.”

“…Huh?”

She looked straight into my eyes and said it, making my heart skip a beat.

“Hearing someone say my food was delicious—I really love that.”

“…Oh, that’s what you meant.”

I felt embarrassed for jumping to conclusions.

Even though I’ve exchanged the phrase ‘I like you’ countless times with Hinata during sex, the words still had a mysterious power. No matter the context, they always made me happy.

(…Her brother should just say it once. That alone would make her this happy.)

But at least their relationship seemed fixable.

“But…”

“…!?”

Soft lips brushed against mine.

The suddenness made my mind go blank, but I recovered quickly—after all, this wasn’t the first time it had happened.

Arisa-san had kissed me.

“Right now, I really, really like the person in front of me.”

“…Uh.”

“Hey, Tsubaki-kun, you and Hinata are friends with benefits, right?”

“Uh, yeah…”

W-What kind of development is this…!?

I could easily predict what was going to happen next, but the suddenness still left me speechless.

“Wanna be my FWB too? I know it’s simple, but after spending time with you, I want you more. Hehe~ I have bigger boobs than Hinata, and my body’s not bad either. I bet I’d feel great to hold. What do you think?”

“……………”

She unbuttoned her top, revealing her bare skin.

I already knew she had a great figure, just like Hinata. But seeing her exposed like this, I couldn’t look away.

“Haha, you’re staring so intensely you might burn me. But I get it now. Even in normal situations, you’re like this, so when things get heated… you’re really cute. And so honest.”

“…Arisa-san, I—”

“If we’re just FWBs, we don’t have to overthink things, right? I bet Hinata told you the same thing. So, come on, Tsubaki-kun, holding back is bad for you. Let’s just do it~♪”

I could have made excuses and run, but now that I knew the pleasure of being with someone, running away wasn’t an option.

“I want to have sex with you, Arisa-san.”

“Mmm♪ Okay.”

I picked her up.

“A princess carry… Hey, Tsubaki-kun, you’re really aggressive with me.”

“Sorry, I couldn’t hold back.”

“Hehe, that honesty is such a turn-on!”

Following my instincts, I carried Arisa-san to the bedroom.

“Come here. I’ll make you feel really good.”

And so, just like with Hinata, I became involved with Arisa-san as well.
