Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 123 You smell like her
It was fifteen minutes later when Watanabe Yu returned to the kitchen.

"Why are you back so late?"

Ryoko Hamabe slowed down the process of processing the ingredients, raised her eyebrows and looked at Watanabe Yu, with a bit more doubt in her eyes.

Although she had only moved in for one day, she knew everything about the second floor. Apart from the master bedroom where Yu was, there were three secondary bedrooms on the second floor. She chose one of them. In other words, Amamiya Ayana was left with only two options.

No matter how carefully you choose between two rooms, it shouldn't take half an hour.

“…We encountered some unexpected situations.”

Watanabe Yu raised his hand, took the black apron from the hook behind him, and put it on.

"Ayana is not satisfied with the two secondary bedrooms?"

Hamabe Ryoko withdrew her gaze and continued to prepare the ingredients.

This was the only possibility she could think of.

"No." Watanabe Yuu turned on the tap in front of the sink and washed his hands. Then he turned around and walked to the chopping board and started cutting the meat for tonight. "I just spent some time helping to clean the room and make the bed."

"You made her bed?"

There was a hint of surprise in Hamabe Ryoko's tone.

She observed very carefully. After lunch, the Saint Miss took over the job of washing the dishes, and her movements were quite quick and efficient.

In other words, people have had experience in this area.

Of course, she knew in her heart that this rich girl would probably just sit there and do whatever she wanted when she was at home, but with You, she believed that Ayana was not that kind of person.

This feeling became even stronger after the three of them went shopping for groceries together.

She even had a special sense of dislocation. She and the Saint Lady seemed to be quite similar, except that their life experiences were different, so their outward personalities were also different.

"She and I made the bed together," Yuu Watanabe explained. "You should understand that she does have little experience in this area."

"You can see it."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded, but she felt a little more confused.

Her intuition told her that things were not that simple.

But she didn't think too much about it. She put the processed ingredients into a plate, then took the plate to the sink. After finishing the final rinsing, her task for the day was over.

Crash.

She turned on the faucet, and a splashing sound rang out in the kitchen.

"But is this enough for tonight? I remember we had quite a lot of BBQ at that self-service BBQ."

She turned her head and looked at Watanabe Yu who was cutting beef.

"It's enough anyway. With the appetite of the three of us, it should be said that it's more than enough. Think about it, two pounds of beef, one pound of pork belly, plus half a pound of chicken wings, chicken legs, and seasonal vegetables and fruits. Ryoko, think about it carefully, is this not enough?"

The reason why Takakura Maki prepared so much that day was, on the one hand, because there were many people, and secondly, there were two men, Kiriyama and Ma, and the two of them together were working hard.

"Right."

Ryoko Hamabe turned off the faucet, drained the processed ingredients, and placed them next to the chopping board.

The distance between the two people was shortened a lot.

"But if it's really not enough, there's still time to add more after we finish eating. There's still a lot in the refrigerator."

Watanabe Yu put down the kitchen knife, gave Hamabe Ryoko a look that said "there is still a long way to go", and then put the chopped beef into a plate beside him.

"Yu."

Suddenly, Hamabe Ryoko frowned.

She smelled a faint scent that did not belong to him.

Yes, this light fragrance was not pungent or abrupt, and it was even a bit pleasant, but it destroyed the smell of the shower gel they were wearing, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

So the half hour that Ayana used to pull Yu up was spent on this?
"Ok?"

Watanabe Yuu responded.

"Would you like some drinks tonight? At home, I remember there are only barley tea and milk."

Hamabe Ryoko took a deep breath in her heart, and finally suppressed her anxiety, swallowing the words "You smell like her" back into her throat.

"Just drink barley tea." Watanabe Yu answered, "And there's still watermelon in the fridge? I can squeeze some watermelon juice as a drink."

They didn’t finish eating the watermelon from yesterday, so there was a lot left.

"The watermelon is for you to eat."

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head away like a child having a tantrum, and there was a hint of visible dissatisfaction in her slightly cold voice. Her short black hair covered the side of her face.

She was unwilling to squeeze the watermelon that she herself was reluctant to eat into juice and give it to Ayana Amamiya as a drink.

Maybe she was willing before.

But now, she is unwilling!
“We should eat together.”

Yuu Watanabe corrected her.

"……Um."

Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko's voice softened at once, and her mood also turned from cloudy to sunny.

She hated herself for being so easy to please.

But after thinking for a moment, she let it go.

Who made her fall for his tricks?

"What would you like to eat tonight?" Watanabe Yu paused, "A separate meal."

"Am I the only one who has it?"

Hamabe Ryoko blinked and her spirits suddenly brightened.

"Correct."

Watanabe Yu gave an affirmative answer.

I think with the Saint Lady's broad mind, the latter would not care about such things.

"… Let's do it later, after Ayana's temporary stay is over."

After thinking for a moment, Hamabe Ryoko shook her head.

She didn't want to fight with Ayana Amamiya. There was no need for that, and it would make it difficult for Yuu to be caught in the middle. "Okay."

Watanabe Yu agreed and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

BYD, it’s really hard to be the god of pure love.

It seems that he has a long and arduous journey ahead of him.

As time passed, the night gradually filled the entire sky.

Under the light of the lawn lamps, the aroma of barbecue mixed with the quiet night. Watanabe Yu, Hamabe Ryoko, and Amemiya Ayana enjoyed the meal very much.

For Miss Saint, this kind of self-service BBQ can be said to be a very fresh experience.

With him, she can put aside all the disguises of being the eldest daughter of the Amemiya family and experience every minute and every second of the present as Amemiya Ayana.

“This does seem a bit spicy.”

After eating another grilled mid-wing that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Ayana Amamiya fanned her tongue with her bare hands.

She had to take it back. Mr. Troll's exclusive dipping sauce was indeed mainly fragrant, but the problem was the spiciness that followed it. Although not so obvious, it was indeed quite high.

Seriously speaking, after she threw away her ladylike reserve and wolfed down a handful of the food, the spiciness was still quite strong.

"Just eat slowly."

Hamabe Ryoko poured her a cup of room temperature barley tea.

Let's put one thing in another. Let the Saint Lady run away. She's just staying for a few days anyway.

When Amamiya Ayana leaves, it is not like the sky is high and the birds fly freely. She can run away however she wants. No, this is not called running away. This is a legitimate pursuit.

Just like she said, she would try to make him dependent on her!
She even had an out-of-the-ordinary idea in her mind.
——He revealed the existence of Amamiya Ayana to Hayakawa Yuki without making any noise.

Let Yuki-chan confront the Saint Lady.

As for her, she knows nothing, doesn't she?
"Thank you."

Amemiya Ayana thanked her, took the barley tea handed to her by Hamabe Ryoko and took a big gulp.

Then, her brows relaxed and her voice became more relaxed.

"saved!"

It must be said that there is only one bad thing about the barbecue made by You.

Because the fragrance was so strong, she couldn't stop.

"It's rare to see you eating so voraciously."

Watanabe Yu considered the words and finally chose this one.

"Because it's delicious."

Amamiya Ayana's answer was as expected.

Isn't it normal to not want to stop eating delicious food?

What's more, she has been eating healthy meals for a long time, so what's wrong with indulging herself a little now!
"By the way, You, how do you grill this mid-wing?"

She tilted her head and asked this question out of curiosity.

As far as she knew, the taste of this chicken wing had far exceeded her expectations.

It's the wings of love in a dream.

"First this, then this, then that, and it's done. Do you understand?"

Watanabe Yu started talking nonsense seriously.

"What do you think?"

The Saint Lady rolled her eyes coquettishly.

"I think you should be able to do it."

Watanabe pursed his lips, picked up a knife, cut a few more times on the grilled wings, and then brushed a layer of dipping sauce on them.

For tasks like barbecue, mid-wings are traditionally more difficult to grill, and many beginners make the mistake of charring the outer layer while leaving the inside bloody.

There is a more convenient way, which is to cook it first and then bake it, but the taste will be different.

But he used the dumbest method and chose to roast it slowly.

"You overestimate me, Mr. Troll."

Amemiya Ayana shook her head, then wiped her mouth with a tissue, picked up the barley tea, and raised the cup with Hamabe Ryoko.

The latter was stunned at first, then picked up his cup of barley tea and clinked it with hers.

"I'll trouble you to take care of me in the next few days, Ryoko."

The Saint Lady blinked and said this.

"Ah."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded and agreed.

She knew what Amemiya Ayana meant, and likewise, Amemiya Ayana knew what she meant.

But it’s fine as long as it is tacitly understood, there is no need to point it out.

The two looked at each other, and could see the smile on each other's face, and could also see themselves in each other's eyes.

However, neither of them drank the barley tea in their cups.

After looking at each other,

"Pork belly and beef are ready."

Watanabe Yuu reminded.

"I want some!"

Amamiya Ayana raised her little hand.

"You, I want some too!"

Ryoko Hamabe also said this without wanting to be outdone.
