Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"You have a good plan. I cook for you and I have to wash the dishes for you? How do I know what you don't like to eat? Where can I go to cry if you just tell me something?"

Asagiri Ran seemed to have finally relaxed now, with a nonchalant look on her face.

"I didn't ask you to do this for me. You asked for this."

"You are so cold-blooded, Asagiri-san~"

Oreki Gen sighed, pretending to be helpless.

Asagiri Ran would not be fooled by this poor acting.

"Your biggest mistake is having any expectations of me."

"Then I can only cook the meal at your house and I'll take it home to eat."

Asagiri Ran was stunned.

"Then what should I eat?"

"What if you don't like it? There's no need to waste your time."

"But you used my kitchen, so you have to pay for it!"

Oreki Gen nodded.

"How about this, when the takeaway arrives I'll take the ingredients home and cook. That way I don't owe you anything, right?"

This damn bastard!!!

Asagiri Ran looked at the other person with a helpless expression, but she seemed to be able to hear his laughter in his heart.

He is just teasing himself, this bastard...Will he never get tired of teasing himself?

The girl's gaze immediately cooled.

"Then you can leave now. Who cares? Damn it...!"

Oreki Gen stretched lazily and said with a smile.

"When you can change your stubbornness, you will be invincible."

Asagiri Ran rolled her eyes. She knew that being stubborn was something she should be careful about.

But this is a habit that has been formed over a long period of time, how can it be changed just by saying so? Especially when it is requested by this young man.

Why should I change for him?

I don't lack anything now, and my originally peaceful life was changed by his unauthorized intrusion. I shouldn't be the one who changed.

Soon, the takeaway was delivered.

Oreki Gen got the things and started cooking immediately without any hesitation.

At first, Asagiri pretended to do her homework, but soon, when the extraordinary fragrance filled the air, the girl could no longer resist.

Looking at the words in this book, they are like pieces of well-fried meat.

My saliva is about to drop out!

If it weren't for her character, Asagiri Ran would have probably been unable to resist and sat at the dining table a long time ago.

But she still had to persevere and waited for more than ten minutes.

Finally I heard what the other person said.

"Okay, stop pretending to read and come out to eat."

Asagiri Ran immediately put down the book, but her movements as she stood up and walked towards the dining table were so slow that if you didn't know her, you would have thought she was walking on a catwalk.

"Who is pretending... Stop acting like everyone wants to eat your cooking."

While saying this, he even picked up the chopsticks.

Oreki Gen was too lazy to expose this girl.

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you, okay? Asagiri-san, please enjoy it."

Asagiri Ran raised her head slightly, picked up the chopsticks gracefully, and sat up straight, as if it was a necessary ritual.

"Since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly give you a taste... Don't laugh!!"

Asagiri Ran spoke very little while eating.

It’s not that he’s particularly polite, it’s just that the food Oreki Gen made...really leaves no room for words.

I can only keep eating and putting food into my own bowl, afraid that I will eat less than the other person and miss any part of the taste of such delicious food.

Oreki Gen himself ate very slowly. He just thought about boring things while eating, and admired the beautiful girl in front of him.

The atmosphere was very quiet, so quiet that Oreki Xian even felt a little bit of enjoyment.

In fact, every teenager’s initial dream is very simple.

I have a small home, and a girl like this, who eats with me at this sunset.

There is no need to say too much, just having this atmosphere is enough to bring peace of mind.

Able to calm any storms from the outside world.

But after leaving this "illusion", one still has to face reality.

What Oreki Gen hopes is that this peaceful beauty can last a little longer, even just for an hour, even just for ten minutes.

"Did you... only eat one chicken drumstick?"

Oreki Gen was thinking about these random things when he suddenly heard the other party's words.

I saw that Asagiri Ran on the opposite side seemed to be pretending to be calm, but her cheeks were slightly flushed with shyness.

Oreki Gen looked at the almost empty plate on the table.

I had just fried four chicken legs, but I ate one, so there was only the last one left.

The situation is clear.

Oreki Gen looked at the other person and then smiled.

"Yeah, I only ate one. You ate two?"

Asagiri Ran was stunned, as if she had not expected the other party to give such a straightforward answer.

Shouldn't I just play dumb and let it go to myself?

She looked at the chicken leg with some pity.

"I see... I was right. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold... Gulu."

As he said this, he swallowed his saliva.

Oreki Gen held back his laughter and looked at the ceiling in surprise.

"What's that noise? Is there a water leak?"

"...I don't know. I didn't hear it."

"Oh, well, I'll take this last chicken drumstick."

Then, although Asagiri Sang was holding her own bowl, her eyes were fixed on Oreki Gen's actions.

Oreki Xian's movements were very slow, extremely slow, just like those slow motion shots specially designed in movies.

And Asagiri Ran's eyes became urgent as the other person picked up the chicken leg and was about to put it into the bowl.

The veins on the back of my hands seemed to be popping out.

Oreki Gen suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Ah... I'm a little full. I probably can't finish this chicken drumstick. How about I take it home?"

"Ah? Take it home?!"

Asagiri Ran was stunned for a moment, and her eyes that were once filled with hope suddenly became stunned.

Oreki Gen nodded as a matter of course.

"Yeah, if you don't take them home, wouldn't it be a waste? You can't eat any more after eating two, right?"

Asagiri Ran looked at Oreki Gen with some difficulty. There were some things she didn't want to admit, but it seemed that she could bow her head in front of delicious food.

Her eyes were evasive and her voice seemed to tremble.

"I... can still eat."

"Oh? What did you say?"

"I said I...can eat it!"

Oreki Gen nodded.

Holding the chicken leg in the air, the distance between them was quite ambiguous, between him and her, exactly halfway, as if she could get it at her fingertips, but the boy could take it back in an instant.

"So... do you want to eat this chicken drumstick?"

He asked with a smile, and at this moment the light shone on his face, making him look like a bewitching demon.

Although she knew that the other party might have done it on purpose, Asagiri Ran could only say it with gritted teeth.

"want."

"What? I didn't hear clearly."

"I said I want...!"

"What do you want?"

“I want chicken drumsticks…!!”

"Whose chicken drumstick do you want?"

"I want your... Oreki String!! I'll kill you!!"

Asagiri Ran finally couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up as if she was going to overturn the whole table, and she wanted to shove her chopsticks into the nostrils of this bastard.

"Bang."

But the next moment, Oreki Gen immediately put the chicken leg into the other person's bowl.

He smiled as he looked at the girl who had suddenly stopped moving and looked a little embarrassed.

"Eat quickly so I can wash the dishes after you finish eating."

"...you wash the dishes?"

Suddenly, the anger of being teased disappeared along with these words that seemed like a pleasant surprise.

She couldn't believe that the bastard could have such a considerate moment.

Oreki Gen nodded indifferently.

"You're too lazy to wash anyway, and I have nothing to do, so why don't I do it? It won't delay anything. It's my duty to borrow your kitchen."

no...

Why are you being so considerate and gentle!

Doesn't this make you look like a freeloader?

"as you like!"

Asagiri Ran lowered her head and continued eating sullenly.

Oreki Xian looked at the other person strangely.

what happened?

She gets angry if I don’t wash the dishes, and she gets angry if I wash the dishes?

You're a hot air balloon guy, right?

The meal was completed peacefully, and Oreki Gen fulfilled his promise and quietly washed the dishes in the kitchen.

"You seem to enjoy doing housework."

At some point, Asagiri Ran appeared not far behind him, leaning slightly against the wall, watching his movements.

Oreki Xian moves in an orderly manner and does his job.

"It's not that I like you, but you have to finish everything you do. I feel uncomfortable when I think that you might leave it here for a few days without cleaning it up."
