After cleaning up their bodies, the three rested in the living room, and naturally, as they finished their big battle, they felt hungry.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yeah."
"Me too."
Akatsuki and Reina touched their stomachs and felt helpless. Still, even if they had done many lewd things, they wanted to maintain their image in front of him, so they didn't wish for their stomachs to rumble.
"I am going to cook then."
"Huh?" 2x
"Are there ingredients?"
"While I am not proud of it, there aren't any ingredients, you know?"
Even though their apartment was fully furnished, it didn't mean everything was there, especially food ingredients that couldn't last long. Unless they bought instant food or frozen food, which they could cook immediately, unfortunately, they hadn't bought them.
Moreover, while it might be embarrassing, Reina and Akatsuki knew that cooking wasn't their forte.
While Akatsuki mostly ate something like instant food or went to the nearby restaurant when she wasn't with him, considering how troublesome it was to cook by herself and how lonely it was, Reina mostly had her food prepared by her mother.
Yet, this was normal, wasn't it?
While it might seem like a social norm for a woman to be able to cook in the past, in the modern era, it wasn't something common again, especially when two people usually went to work instead of only relying on the man as a breadwinner.
Nevertheless, it didn't mean that Akatsuki and Reina were useless at cooking. Instead, they knew that they needed to have an advantage over other girls, so they worked hard on the skills that made them attractive, such as household skills.
"Are we going out to buy now?"
"No, I brought many ingredients. All of them are in my bag."
Bringing his bag filled with many things, Mizuto took out the ingredients, which he kept one by one on the table. Starting with rice, pasta, spices, and many others.
The two also helped him, but then they also noticed something other than food ingredients.
"What are these?"
They saw a book and also... a box?
"Oh, they are your gifts."
"Our gifts?" 2x
Reina and Akatsuki were surprised.
"Why so suddenly?"
"Is there something special happening?"
They were confused about why Mizuto suddenly brought a gift for them.
"I bought them when I went to Tokyo before, but you also know my condition before."
If his foot was fine, then he could give those gifts to Reina and Akatsuki with ease since Yume wasn't around, but as Yume was around, it was somewhat difficult for him to do so.
Still, even if he didn't explain his reason, Akatsuki and Reina also understood why he only gave them their gifts now.
"You don't need to do this, you know? Moreover, didn't you bring us much food before?"
"Yeah, we're fine as long as you are okay."
Instead of wasting his money, they felt like Mizuto should save it, especially since they knew that he had bought this apartment and furniture. While he didn't tell them the details of how much he had spent, they could more or less guess that all of them weren't cheap.
"Then, should I give them to someone else?"
"....." 2x
Why didn't this guy follow the script?
Usually, wouldn't he say something to let them accept those gifts?
"I was joking." Mizuto laughed when he saw their expressions and said, "Open your gifts first, Akatsuki. As for Reina, you should open it after lunch."
"Why?" Reina was confused.
"I am afraid that you will be distracted by then."
"OK?" Reina was confused, but she nodded since she only needed to wait until they had eaten. Then she looked at Akatsuki, wondering what Mizuto had bought her.
"Is this?"
When Akatsuki opened the box, she was surprised.
"Ribbon. It's for you to tie your hair."
There were many of them in various colors, but naturally, the quality of those ribbons was much better than the ones Akatsuki usually used when she tied her hair in a ponytail.
"It's so soft...."
Akatsuki happily held the ribbon in her hands, feeling how soft they were.
"They are made from silk. It is good for your hair."
The ponytail was a good hairstyle, but as expected, it was rather hard on the cuticles, and if one wasn't careful, it might even cause hair loss.
However, this silk ribbon was different as it was beneficial for Akatsuki's hair.
"Thanks. I love it." Akatsuki leaped directly into Mizuto and kissed his lips several times, even wishing to do it again with him.
Facing this challenge, Mizuto wasn't going to back down, but—
"Cough! Cough!" Reina interrupted the two and said, "How about we cook something first? We can continue after we eat."
Mizuto and Akatsuki nodded, and they started to prepare their lunch, but what they didn't know was that Reina was a bit jealous and wanted their lunch to start soon so that she could get her gift soon.
Nevertheless, Reina wondered what kind of gift that Mizuto was going to give her. Yet, she could think about that later since he was about to cook her favorite food.
"Are you going to cook pasta, Mizuto?"
"Yup." Mizuto took pasta from his bag. "I got a good pepper from Tokyo. I want to try it with pasta."
No one disagreed, and all of them were okay with his choice.
With that decision, the three of them started to cook together, helping each other to cook their lunch.
So, their lunch menu would consist of cacao e pepe and Caesar salad.
Still, the dishes he chose were rather simple, so Mizuto also decided to make a tiramisu.
"...you are going to make a dessert?"
"It's easy to make. You don't need to worry."
At this moment, they wondered whether there was something that this guy couldn't do. Yet, there was no doubt they anticipated this dessert much.
Still, while they had to wait for the tiramisu for a while, the other dishes were finished soon, so the three of them ate the delicious food as they talked about something mundane and also what kind of gift he was going to prepare for Reina.
"Can I see it now?"
"Sure." Mizuto gave out the book, which he prepared for Reina.
"This is...?" While Reina was confused at first since the book was rather messy, when she opened the book, she was startled. She kept flipping page after page with shock as she realized what kind of gift Mizuto had given her!
Still, due to this, she looked at him in shock and with a happy smile.
"Do you like it?" Mizuto asked with a smile. The gift that he had prepared for her was a book to improve her trumpet skills. He had been thinking about what kind of gift he should give her, and as expected, he felt like it should be something practical, and that was why he chose this gift. Naturally, this book was special as it was bought from his "Store" skill, and as long as one learned from this book, it should be easy for an ordinary person to become a professional.
"Thank you!"
Reina hugged him tightly and clung to him before she kissed his lips several times. Still, she felt that this wasn't enough to show how happy she was with his gift, so she took off her panties directly and also took off his, but then he stopped her since this wasn't a damn time for this kind of thing!
Nevertheless, it was great to know the two of them were happy.
Yet, at the same time, Mizuto wondered what Reina's father thought when her daughter became such a lewd woman.
