“Hmm, I hate to say this, but it doesn’t taste very good…”

I tried it as Chinatsu taught me how to make it, but I couldn’t make it taste good.

“Don’t worry! It’ll taste better with practice!”

“Thanks ….”

“Takuto, you can eat this then!”

“Me again….”

Takuto was reluctant, but he ate it.

It wasn’t so bad that one could not eat it, but I was expecting it to be crispy as a cookie, but somehow, it ended up being soggy.

“Takuto, I’m sorry.”

“Well, they taste good.”

“I see…I’m glad.”

I was a little relieved when he complimented me on how good they tasted. If it tasted bad, it would be a far cry from a good cookie.

“Then, let’s try one more time!”

“Please, Sensei!”

“Hahahah~~, No Problem”

I started to make the next batch of cookies. This time, I’ll be careful not to make them soggy.

After a few hours of resting, I placed them in the oven and baked them again, probably for the last time in time.

“You got this~”

“I want to eat something tasty.”

“I love you, Kae-chan.”

“Yeah, I love you”

I grinned, but Chinatsu patted me on the back for being honest. Takuto gave me a look, telling me not to flirt.

“H-How about this time…?”

“Th….This!”

“Still not delicious?”

“No, it’s insanely good.”

I was so relieved to hear that. I tasted them myself.

The texture was crispy and the taste was delicious with both butter and chocolate cookies.

“Yes! Passed!!”

“Thank you, Chinatsu and Takuto.”

“It’s fine! But Don’t forget to buy me a crepe”

“I know.”

“And me too”

“I know, I know.”

With a laugh, I agreed to do Takuto’s part. I was kind of indebted to Takuto for everything he did for me.

I left Takuto’s house after getting the recipe from her, and the fact that I was able to make it taste good in two sessions was probably due to her good teaching skills.

Besides, I have been helping Kaede with her cooking from time to time, and perhaps because I have been watching by her side, I have become able to do simple tasks.

This may have contributed to that.

Now all I had to do was wait for White Day to come. …That made me a little nervous…

It was much colder outside, so I couldn’t wait to get home, to my own house where a warm room, the girl I love, and good food awaited me.

As I thought about it, my walking speed became faster and faster.

(Besides, I have to make up my mind soon… I cannot keep it temporary forever, right?)

Thinking that, I pulled out my hand that was stuck in my pocket in the cold and made a fish.
