In his hand, he was holding a bag containing figures.
Not long after, Amakusa Mei opened the door.
Seeing Izumi Tetsu, her eyes lit up.
However, the joy on her face faded a lot the next moment.
Next to Izumi Tetsu stood a cute-looking girl with a somewhat reserved expression.
who is she?
Why are you with this guy?
Could it be that she is a girlfriend?
[Amakusa Mei’s favorability towards you has slightly decreased]
"Next time you call your girlfriend over, at least let her know. She didn't even prepare slippers."
"I……"
Before Izumi Tetsu could refute, Amakusa Meiyi let out a soft "hum" and dropped his slippers on the ground.
"come in!"
Then, she turned around and took out her mother's slippers and placed them in front of Ayumi Mano.
"If you don't mind it, just wear this pair."
"Sorry to bother you." Mano Ayumi bowed cautiously.
Do you actually like this one?
He is taller than me, has bigger breasts than me, and speaks softly...
What! What!
Amakusa Meiyi frowned slightly and bit her lip.
What does it have to do with me?
Not at all!
"that……"
"ha?"
Startled by Amakusa Mei's slightly unhappy expression, Mano Ayumi took two steps back.
However, she remembered Izumi Toru's instructions. Since Amakusa Narumi couldn't be misunderstood, then naturally she couldn't let his sister misunderstand either.
"I, I am not Izumi-senpai's girlfriend, please don't get me wrong!"
Amakusa Meiyi was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Izumi Toru pulled Amakusa Mei to his side and whispered: "Maybe she will be your future sister-in-law. I have already obtained Aunt Chinatsu's approval before bringing her here. Just to give Narumi a [surprise]
.”
"Oh, yes, that's it. Ahem," Amakusa Mei coughed twice, then gently pushed away Izumi Tetsu who was talking in his ear, "I know, don't get so close."
The girl's ears felt a little hot.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
snort!
"I thought……"
She mumbled something vaguely, but Izumi Toru didn't hear it clearly.
"Mei? What are you talking about?"
Amakusa Mei said in disgust: "Nothing! Idiot! What a nuisance!"
"Why do you say this suddenly?"
"Izumi, come...come...come..."
Amakusa Narumi, whose game character had just died, was about to call Izumi Toru to play the game with him, but when he saw Ayumi Mano standing next to him, he hesitated and was speechless.
"Ah, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mano Ayumi, the school girl I met [accidentally] at the Spring Festival today. Either she sent you a message before saying that I would bring friends to celebrate you, and it was her."
Izumi Tetsu introduced the two of them seriously, as if he didn't even know that they had known each other before.
"Yes, that's it..."
Mano Ayumi: "...Hmm."
"Congratulations on capturing the flag at the Spring Festival. This is a gift." Izumi Toru handed the bag to his friend.
"Thanks……"
After Amakusa Narumi took it, he looked at Ayumi Mano again.
Mano Ayumi bowed to him.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Amakusa-senpai."
"Huan, welcome."
How should I treat her?
Amakusa Narumi was unsure.
"Mei, are you preparing the food?" Izumi Toru asked, turning his head.
"No, not yet."
"Really? We've already started preparations. Then let me help."
"Huh? I, I said no..."
"Let's go." Izumi Toru put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her towards the kitchen with a little force.
"I, I know...don't push..."
Even though she said this, Amakusa Meiyi showed no resistance at all.
There were only two people left in the living room.
Amakusa Narumi looked at Mano Ayumi with her head lowered, scratched her head, and finally raised the game controller and asked: "Um...are you playing games?"
"Eh? I, I can't..."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Not sure whether it was frustration or relaxation, he let out a breath.
"But, but, I want to learn...you, can you teach me?"
Amakusa Narumi raised his head, and Ayumi Mano was staring at him with intense eyes.
He subconsciously shifted his gaze.
"Well, it's okay. But I'm pretty good at it..."
"Then, please!"
.
.
"Hello."
Amakusa Meiyi stretched out her finger and poked Izumi Tetsu's shoulder.
"Um."
"What are you doing?"
"Peel it." Izumi Toru, who was squatting on the ground, said as he held up the carrot that was about to be peeled several times.
"So, why do I have to stay in the kitchen with you?!" Amakusa Meiyi asked angrily with her hands on her hips.
"You see, Manano-san is here as my friend, right?"
"So what?"
"If I don't help in the kitchen, it only makes sense that I have to stay with them. But then that guy Narumi will definitely only chat with me. Then doesn't it make sense for her to come?"
"Then you have to inform me, idiot!"
"After all, Narumi won the match today, just to give him a surprise." Izumi Toru said with a smile.
"whispering sound!"
Amakusa Meiyi spat and stopped continuing.
After a while.
"Stop wasting ingredients, idiot!"
Listening to the girl's scolding, Izumi Toru held up a flower carved from a carrot core and handed it to her: "For you."
"ha?!"
"It's for you, take it."
Amakusa Meiyi took the flower in his hand with a slightly disgusted expression.
"Childish devil!"
"A man is a boy until he dies. So..."
"So what?"
"So, only a mature woman like Mei who cares about her family can become a good wife."
After saying that, Izumi Toru picked up another carrot and continued to peel it.
I wonder if it would be possible if Mei was raised to become a rich woman.
Although I'm a little stupid, I'm still here.
Well……
While meditating,
"You, what you say is so disgusting! What, what a good wife or something! What on earth are you thinking about! Bastard! Idiot! Idiot! Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting..."
Lifting his head and looking at the girl who was blushing out of guilt or shyness, Izumi Toru said innocently, "I'm just telling the truth. I'm very hurt when Mei says this."
Amakusa Mei's voice stopped suddenly.
"So, in order to make up for the trauma in my soul, let me help with tutoring today."
After being stunned for a while, Amakusa Meiyi hummed and turned around.
"It's up to you!"
After saying that, she washed the carrot flowers that Izumi handed to her and started chewing them.
Very hard, as if he was venting something.
"Would you like to carve another one for you?" Izumi Toru held up the carrot eagerly.
"If you waste any more food, I'll kill you!" The girl suddenly turned around, holding a knife in her hand, and said viciously.
Gudong!
Swallowing hard, Izumi Toru replied cautiously:
"Ming, I understand."
"Just help me honestly. Peel the potatoes and carrots, and wash the vegetables too."
"Um."
Seeing that he started to handle the ingredients honestly, Amakusa Meiyi put down the knife in her hand.
From an angle that Izumi Toru couldn't see, the girl couldn't help but laughed secretly.
The smile that suddenly bloomed was very beautiful.
