...Chapter 40...
...Cooking Time...
Me, Kaede, Shinji, and Otsuki are making scones. Kaede, who kneaded the dough for the scone, had a very happy smile on her face in her figure wearing the apron given to her.
[Translator Note: Scone.]
“Yuya, enchanted may be, but you have to knead the dough, okay?”
Notes: Yeah don't stare at Kaede-chan for too long, you might be her future husband but I made her you know.
“...Noisy. If you say that, then you should do it too.”
Shinji and I stopped occasionally. After all, just looking at the two people who were working in front of us looked so familiar it was heartwarming. I want to see this forever.
“There boys! Move your hands!”
As we were mesmerized, the instructor rebuked us. Even so the tone of his voice is cheerful, duh should focus on making scone nih, do not be too fascinated. Shinji and I looked towards the ball to disguise our embarrassment and worked hard making the dough.
“Fufufu. Yuya-kun, are you fascinated by me?”
“Shin-kun, are you fascinated by me?”
Sure enough, the two girls chased after him with a grin on their faces. Kaede who is in this situation is very annoying. She would keep looking at me until I answered, and if I didn't answer because I was embarrassed, she would instead cry and sulk. So if this happened, I would have flown the white flag straight away.
“Yes, that's right. Kaede-san and Otsuki-san looked so much fun that we were blown away. Is that bad?”
“Tump-, Yuya!? What are you talking about! I'm not—”
Quiet Shinji! Let me handle this and you just shut up and nod your head! It's better to be honest about that than to be chased further and make them keep playing us.
“B-So yes...it is not bad at all..”.
“J-so Shin-kun also has a side like that huh! Ahahahah... I just found out.”
Is there a boy who will not be fascinated when he sees the special expression of a girl who can only be seen in this place, moreover it is different from the smile of the girl he always sees? If there is, then the eyes of the man are hollow!
“Ka-Kaede-chan's chat... I thought I was listening to this on the bus, but does Yoshi always talk like this? Isn't that dangerous?”
“So you finally understand yes Akiho-chan... Thas right. Yuya-kun is a spontaneous person. As you heard on the bus, he's the one who without hesitation would say something that's usually too embarrassing to say. Thanks to that I was always in trouble.”
What do you mean by that Kaede-san? Is it wrong to be honest to say that you are fascinated? Then what's right here is to say I'm not fascinated? Definitely not, how else would it be if I became like that. Because it's basically true that I'm fascinated by your smile. You're the same, aren't you, Shinji?
And there's one more thing that bothers me. What are you two listening to on the bus?
“......Yuya. Maybe it's time we shut up?”
Shinji gave me a smile that contained anger, his face was smiling but his eyes were not. And also, you slammed the dough like that nakutin njir, so can you not slam it?
“If you shut up and keep working, then I'll stop slammingya.”
“What the hell am I doing, gosh..”.
I didn't know what was going on, but I knew that if I made Shinji even more angry, I would be in serious trouble, so I decided to keep my mouth shut and concentrate on my work.
Even so, I could hear the muttering of the other girls in the room.
[Yoshizumi-kun who dares to say something like that without hesitation is really cool.].
On the other hand, I could hear some boys declaring defeat.
[Where can I do something like that... I will die from being too embarrassed.].
Notes: silence all of you, Kaede-chan is also fascinated by me yes if you know! Hem.
[So this is the skill of the guy who made the prettiest high school girl in Japan fall in love... I really can't do it.]
“Enjoying your youth now.”
After getting a pat from the instructor, I decided to keep quiet until the scone was done.
---
Scone was made, but to be honest, it felt a bit bland. It does not feel and makes the mouth feel dry. No matter how sweet the milk tea I drank, the effect was still felt.
“It seems like it feels a bit less. It would be nice if we have jam, but unfortunately it's not there.”
As expected, Kaede ate the scone she made with a bitter smile.
“I think it will taste better if you add choco chip in it to add sweet taste. For today, be patient. Home entry remade.”
“No, better not to..”
Rather than making scones at home, I think I'd rather you make a chocolate cake like the other day. That tastes really good. But comparing it like this, I can see how hard it is to make it.
Making your own scone is easy. All you have to do is make the dough according to the instructions, knead, shape, and hold it in the oven. No process feels so complicated. However, the chocolate cake Kaede made on Valentine's Day was not like this. He obviously spent a lot of time and energy to make it. I am very aware of this, and at the same time I am very happy.
“I hope you can make it so I can eat it again.”.
“Of course, if that's what you want, I'll make it for you whenever you want. But if we want to make it, why don't we just make it together? If it was like that it would be more fun.”
It does. It wasn't bad for the two of us to stand together in the kitchen and have some fun baking. I'm sure there will be something going on, like for example I made a mistake in measuring the material, or when I didn't get the shape right. Even so—
“I don't know if I can do well, but I'm sure it will be nice to enjoy the time I spent cooking with Kaede-san. That's how I feel.”
“Iss.You're really a mombal. But I'm glad you said that. I can't wait to make it together.”
Kaede's smile warms my heart. Haaaah, I can't wait to go home and make some cake.
“...Akiho's. I know what you want to say, but don't say it, okay? If you get involved, you'll lose.”
“Shin-kun.. Isn't that too deadly!? Isn't it nothing more than torture to be unable to say anything in front of this strawberry room!?”
“If you can't stand this, then in the future you won't be able to stand it either, so let's do our best to get used to it when we're here, okay?”
Can you two stop messing around? We can't enter our own world, not that, Shinji! Don't say anything unnecessary!?
Tomorrow night. A decisive big fight awaits me. What if they find out...
“What's up, Yuya-kun? Your face looks red?”
I was thinking about how to express my feelings to you, Kaede. Well, there's no way I could say that, so I just pretended to laugh and said it was nothing.
