“I’m off.”

“Huh? You’re leaving again today?”

“Yeah, for a while.”

“Recently, you’ve been cutting back on your part-time job, haven’t you?” Kaede asked,

I asked the manager to cut back on my shifts because I had some things I wanted to do.

I told the manager what happened and he graciously gave me the OK.

I really appreciate it.

“Thing you want to do…·?”

“Yeah, well, a lot of things.”

“….Suspicious”

Kaede stared at me with quivering eyes.

After that, she sniffed my clothes.

It was like looking at a dog that didn’t want its owner to go out.

“I-It’s totally fine!, I didn’t do anything strange!”

“I-I see…”

Kaede, perhaps a little relieved, put her hand on her chest and exhaled.

“I’m off then.”

“Yeah. Take care.”

She sent me off with that.

(I’m going to learn how to cook properly.)

I took a deep breath and headed for Takuto’s house.

The reason why it was Takuto’s house and not Chinatsu’s was because Takuto said he would eat it if it failed, and even if it was me, he still didn’t want me to be alone with Chinatsu.

That’s right, if Kaede and Takuto were making chocolate together I wouldn’t want them to be alone…

I’ve just realized that maybe Kaede was feeling the same way, but I guess it’s okay… it’s okay, isn’t it? I prayed to god

“Ah, You came.”

“Sorry to disturb you.”

“Chinatsu is already ready.”

“Okay.”

After having such a conversation with Takuto, I entered Takuto’s house and found Chinatsu in a hurry for some reason.

“What are you doing?”

“No, I was wondering where the chocolate is….”

“I think it’s in the fridge.?”

“Ah, yeah”

“Ehehe~ Sorry, sorry” She said and showed a mischievous smile to me.

I didn’t do anything when I saw it, but Takuto, who was next to me, was fawning over her.

“Cute! Even the slightly missing parts are cute!”

“Ah yeah…, let’s get on with it, Bacouple.”

“You can’t say that for others, Bacouple 2nd”

“We’re not a bacouple, we’re a couple, okay?”

“No! You are a bacouple! it can’t be anything else!”

“That can’t be right. …”

“Both of you!!”

As we were arguing, Chinatsu interrupted our conversation.

“I’ll start quickly, okay?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Chinatsu seemed to be on my side today. Well, I was kind of pissed off too…

I want to be able to eat properly today…
