As he was inserting the straw, the expression on Kanagawa's face seemed to become deliberate.

Nanami had an uneasy feeling in her heart.

"Well, after all, we are dating, and I feel very confident in him."

This is quite a high evaluation.

Nanami, who was silently listening to the conversation between the two, had this feeling.

After all, the most important thing in maintaining a relationship is to maintain mutual trust.

"But, for a pure boy like Nanami who hasn't had much contact with girls, if he meets some older sisters with bad intentions, there is a high probability that he will be bullied. When I was joking, he didn't dare to resist at all. Xiaosugar should pay special attention to these aspects."

...Don't bring up these things suddenly, Kanagawa-senpai.

Although she really wanted to interrupt the conversation between the two, Nanami couldn't think of a specific reason, so the best she could do right now... was to maintain the status quo.

"Oh, but Nanami is not a child anymore, so there is no need to worry about these things, right?"

Arisu held the yogurt in both hands, with an overall relaxed posture.

I didn't feel any resentment towards Kanagawa-senpai's words that were meant to bring them closer.

"Satou-chan really trusts Nanami, but I feel relieved because the junior over there seems to be reliable, and the fact that she blushes easily when being teased for no reason is also very cute."

Nanami dropped her cheeks.

Even though he was right in front of him, Kanagawa-senpai said such words that could be easily misunderstood without restraint. He felt his heart beating gradually out of control, and he tried his best to avoid eye contact with the two people sitting opposite him.

Arisu's response still sounded as calm as before.

"Oh, I think so too. Nanami sometimes doesn't act like an adult at all. Sometimes I'm not shy but he blushes."

"Oh - it sounds like you guys have crossed that step."

Nanami realized that the situation seemed to be heading in a more embarrassing direction and could no longer treat it as nothing had happened so she stood up.

"Um! Kanagawa-senpai! Do you want to stay for lunch? It's almost eleven o'clock now, right?"

"Eh? Time has passed so quickly? Um...Okay, Sugar-chan, you won't mind if I disturb your time with Nanami-san, right?"

Kanagawa showed an expression full of interest.

Arisu took the opportunity to observe Nanami, then began to shake his head.

"I don't mind. Besides, I don't want to be separated from my sister so soon. My sister is an important person."

"Wow...Sugar, I'm so touched. I thought you wouldn't cling to me like before now that you've had a boyfriend."

"How could I possibly do that? My sister has helped me a lot in the past, and I will never forget that."

"Ugh... I can't take it anymore, let me hold Little Sugar."

......The relationship between these two people is really unusual.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Nanami would have found it hard to believe that Arisu, who was always cold towards others, would actually take the initiative to satisfy the other person's desire for a hug.

At this time, Kanagawa buried his face in Arisu's chest and looked at Nanami with a triumphant expression.

"Hey... Junior over there, I'm going to take away Little Sugar. You're not going to just stand by and watch, are you? The night will be very lonely without Little Sugar. In this case, Junior will have to rely on yourself to relieve the loneliness in your heart."

"Hate it, Nanami will blush, please don't say that, sister."

"Well, if you blush this much, it's really cute. Anyway, please forgive my abrupt behavior."

"Stupid sister...what have you been saying since just now..."

----------

After that, the content of their conversation completely disappeared the moment the kitchen door closed.

Nanami came to the sink and used cold water to rinse her cheeks which had become warm.

The world has become quiet...

Nanami began to focus on the food she had to prepare at this time.

There is still time.

If the purpose of Kanagawa-senpai's visit this time was... to test whether he was qualified as a boyfriend, then the lunch dishes to be prepared next would undoubtedly be the best opportunity to show off.

If you want to completely conquer Kanagawa-senpai who has powerful verbal power...at the moment, it seems that the best way is to conquer the stomach, which is the most sensitive part of a girl.

You have to perform well next time.

Nanami literati.

Chapter 237 Perfect Girlfriend

For lunch, I had never tried matsutake rice before, with grilled saury evenly grilled with sea salt, followed by stewed pumpkin and white radish miso soup.

The moment the food was served on the table, stars immediately appeared in Kanagawa Ruri's eyes.

"Youngster, I never knew you had such a powerful side. I thought you would go to a nearby convenience store and use your lunch box to deal with me, your senior, who came to inspect you."

"Oh - oops, I let it slip."

Kanagawa-senpai, who covers his mouth with a surprised expression...sits side by side with Arisu-san, looking like they are of the same age.

I didn't feel any disobedience at all.

If you don't look closely at his appearance, and don't notice the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiles, the senior doesn't look like someone who is already in his thirties.

I didn't have this thought when we first met... Was it because of the makeup I was wearing? If that's the reason... Girls' makeup skills are really scary.

"Anyway - if you feel your appetite has been whetted after tasting it, please eat more, Senior."

Nanami respectfully placed the bowl filled with matsutake rice in front of the two of them.

Kanagawa put his hands together and blurted out "I'm starting."

The method of making Matsutake rice is to cook Matsutake and rice together. In this state, the rice comes out with the aroma of Matsutake. In contrast, the grilled saury, which is not very innovative, lacks appeal.

After all, from the price point of view...the two cannot be generalized at all.

As for the stewed pumpkin at the end... the taste surprised Kanagawa a little. The sweetness of the pumpkin and the salty taste of the soy sauce complemented each other perfectly. It was amazing that such a simple dish could be cooked to such a level...

"Awesome... I'm so envious of Xiaotang, who can enjoy such delicious food every day. If I were in this situation, I would definitely get fat."

"If you want to come, sister... I'd welcome you."

"I won't come here often. Besides, I don't have free time like now every week. Besides, I don't have the heart to disturb you and your juniors' world of two."

"Sister is always like this."

Nanami began to observe the two people sitting side by side.

Compared to Kanagawa-senpai's excited tone, Arisu-san's reaction seemed much calmer.

Come to think of it.

After all...when it comes to cooking, there isn't much that's worth surprising her.

Because I have tried it many times.

"Nanami, you've worked hard. It tastes really good."

Realizing that Nanami had been ignored for a little too long today, Arisu looked over here.

His demeanor became much more cautious than before, and his tone was no longer as fearless as before.

Probably because of the presence of Kanagawa-senpai.

Nanami naturally thought of these aspects.

"Well, thank you."

"Since my sister is here, I don't have time to help with lunch. Sorry."

Sister Kanagawa, whom I haven't seen for half a year, suddenly came to visit me. The only reason I can think of right now...maybe this is the only reason.

——It’s because of the relationship.

Since it is due to this aspect, there is no dispute about the aspects that should be paid attention to at the moment.

Not interfering with Nanami's work was a deliberate decision.

Let Nanami create the role of a standard boyfriend, and use the other party's visit to deepen the image of the 'perfect girlfriend' in Nanami's mind.

Facts are more convincing.

Whether it was Nanami or himself——

Everyone should show the side that makes the other person feel most comfortable.

Arisu knew in his heart that this was necessary.

----------

Lunch ended in a lively atmosphere.

While Nanami was bending down to clean the table, Kanagawa Ruri stood up and bowed to him.

"Thank you for the treat, I'm leaving now."

"Eh? But it's still early, right?"

It was clearly less than one o'clock at this time, but Senior Kanagawa was planning to leave.

There is no need to face work...and the seniors don't look like they have any important matters that need to be dealt with.

Nanami was surprised by this.

I thought that the senior would stay and play with Arisu-san for a while, and then leave reluctantly.

"I can't bother you any more. Besides, I'm going to go to some idiot's house next. If that guy gets drunk again, I'll be in trouble. So I have to take precautions in advance."

Oh--

So I was going to 'some idiot's' house.

In this case, the reason why the senior was in a hurry to leave is quite obvious.

Nanami nodded in agreement.

"Oh - so you're going to spend some time alone with that idiot. No wonder you looked so anxious from the beginning. Senior, isn't it nice? It feels like being hugged by the 'idiot store manager'."
