Dishes that Japanese Men Love

A beautiful girl who everyone would be fascinated was cooking dinner for me at my house. If I say something like that to someone who is not aware of the situation, they will say that I am nagging.

If I tell Akira, he'll die laughing. No, he won't laugh, instead, he will worry about my state of mind. He realized that I would not tell such an imaginary lie.

—However, the delusion is happening now with me as a witness.

It is no exaggeration to say that everyone will fall in love at first sight with such a beautiful girl. The girl, Charlotte, has now brought the ingredients and tools she needs to cook and started cooking in my kitchen. Moreover, she wore a charming apron and hummed happily while cooking.

Somehow, I'm afraid of how happy I am. I won't die tomorrow, will I?

I had such great luck, that I was afraid of the unfortunate calamity that might be waiting at the end of the tunnel.

However, even though it was an unfortunate disaster, it would be fine. It would be a cheap price to pay to spend time with Charlotte like this.

Besides, he's interesting.

“Aoyagi-kun, is there something you don't like eating?”

“-! N-no. I can eat anything. "

“…? What is confusing you? "

“T-no. It's okay."

"Is that so…"

I laughed at her, causing Charlotte to look at me with a strange expression before returning to cooking. After making sure that she focused on cooking, I heaved a sigh of relief.

I can't tell her that I saw her because she's so sweet. I'm not that shameless.

If I stare too much, our gazes will probably meet again, so I will stop looking at her for now. Since I had absolutely nothing to do, I started seeing Emma who was currently lying on my bed. Emma took a deep breath while sleeping, and her sleeping face was very cute. She is a friendly and sweet girl with a very cute smile.I am jealous of Charlotte because her sister is so cute.

“—You can't play him, okay?”

“-!”

As I stared at Emma's sleeping face, I heard a voice suddenly coming from beside my ear. I turned around and found Charlotte standing there, looking at me with a smile on her face.

“It surprised me..”.

“Fufu ~ Sorry to surprise you. I want to play with you. "

Charlotte smiled playfully.I thought her smile was very sweet and unfair. If you smile like that, no one can get angry with your jokes.

… No, well, I probably won't get angry just because he surprised me.

“Isn't Charlotte-san herself quite naughty?”

"Is that so? Maybe it was Aoyagi-kun who made me want to act mischievous. ”

“No, it's nothing. Dinner is ready, so enjoy it. ”

Charlotte shook her head and urged me to eat. It seems that while my attention was distracted by Emma's sleeping face, she secretly arranged the dishes on the table. I thought I could carry and arrange the dishes at least, what did I do…?

――No, more importantly, what does Charlotte mean by those words? Why would he want to act naughty because it's me?

I didn't understand the meaning of Charlotte's words, so I tilted my head a little confused.

"Puzat…!"

When Charlotte's home-cooked food entered my mouth, my thoughts accidentally popped out of my lips. Charlotte's food is really delicious.

He prepared vegetable stir fry, tamagoyaki, and mushroom tofu. [1] The vegetable stir-fry has a taste that soaks well into it and is seasoned with perfect balance so that it is not too strong on the tongue.

As for tamagoyaki, I think sugar is used for flavoring.I have never tasted tamagoyaki sweet before, but it tastes good as expected, with a little sweetness.

Mushroom ankake tofu has a balanced sauce, and mushroom and tofu are also delicious. For her to be good at cooking, she was perfectly beautiful in every way.

There is no white rice. It seems like he didn't prepare the white rice because of my hunger because cooking it would take longer.

At first, I was happy enough just to be able to eat home-cooked food, so I ignored the absence of white rice. However, if you eat a side dish that is so good, it is natural that you crave white rice.

"i'm glad that my cooking suits your taste."

Charlotte smiled happily upon hearing my impression of her cooking. She happily looked at me while I happily devoured her cooking one spoon at a time.

It's embarrassing if he looks at me so intensely. Even though the food was good, I was so nervous I couldn't swallow it.

“Did Charlotte often cook Japanese food?”

Since I could not bear being stared at so intensely in such an awkward silence, I asked him about a topic that made me curious. To be honest, since Charlotte spent most of her life abroad, I didn't expect her to cook Japanese food well.

“i like Japan, so I sometimes cook Japanese cuisine.I really want to cook meat and potato soup today, but unfortunately, I don't have enough ingredients. ” [2]

She seemed to really want to cook some meat and potato soup today, as she obviously felt depressed when she told me about the lack of ingredients.

“Why meat and potato soup?”

“That's because Japanese men love meat and potato soup the most! I thought Aoyagi-kun would like it too, so I wanted to cook it for you. ”.

Meat and potato soup is a favorite dish of Japanese men? This was the first time I heard it. I did eat it, but saying that I liked it a bit too much. Where did Charlotte's prejudice come from?

As we talked about the meat and potato soup, I felt Charlotte's eyes glow for a moment there. I didn't think that the content of the conversation was something that excited me.

I thought I understood it a bit, but as it turned out, my path was still long.

Afterwards, while being stared at by the happily smiling Charlotte, I continued to devour the delicious food she cooked.
