"Hah… I'm tired."
When I turned my head to the side and checked the time, it was about noon.
"What shall I cook for lunch?"
I've been living on my own for almost three years now, and I'm still cooking for myself, which is something I'm a little bit proud of.
It's been quite a while since the incident.
"I wonder what Eri-chan is doing?"
I'm curious, even though I was there only yesterday.
Eri-chan seems to be very busy these days. When I ask her about it, she winks at me and says it's a secret.
When I asked Miho-san about it, she just laughed and said 'Ufufu'.
"Let's just make lunch."
I fished around and what came up was pasta.
Both carbonara and tomato sauce sound good since I have either carbonara or canned tomatoes. However, it's also hard to resist the temptation of mentaiko pasta.
Then the intercom rang.
I wonder who it is.
I opened the door and there she was…
"Whoa."
"Yukishiro-Onii-san!!"
I was hugged vigorously.
"Hello, Yukishiro-kun."
"What is going on?"
"Hmm, well, you see…"
"I've moved in next door to Onii-san!"
"I see, you moved in next door… EH!? WHAT!?"
"Yes."
Eri-chan smiled mischievously as she said that.
Well, it's true that the neighbors have been noisy and busy lately.
"Why?"
"That's because I want to see Yukishiro-Onii-san every day."
"For such a reason!?"
"Yes. I want to see Yukishiro-Onii-san every day."
"Is that okay with you, Miho-san?"
"Yes, I feel safer when Eri is near Yukishiro-kun."
"Are you going to live here too, Miho-san?"
"I treasure that house, too. But I'll probably come over here four or five times a week."
"I'm looking forward to it!" Miho said with a smile, which surprised me at first, but now I'm looking forward to it too.
"Yukishiro-kun, have you eaten yet?"
"I was just about to make it."
"Do you want me to make it?"
"It's okay. I'll make lunch for everyone. Consider it a housewarming gift."
"Wow. I'm looking forward to Yukishiro-Onii-san's cooking."
"I'm looking forward to it."
I'd be a bit nervous if they expected too much, but I'll do my best.
"For now, please come in."
"Sorry to disturb you."
"Sorry to disturb you."
I showed them to the living room and asked them to sit down.
Now, let's put on the apron.
"Looking at Yukishiro-Onii-san's apron attire again…it's so cute. Can I take a picture?"
"Sure…"
"Eri, send the photos to me later."
"Yes."
I don't think I look that good in my apron. I just feel weird when I look at myself.
In the meantime, let's make a variety of things for them to eat.
Carbonara with tomato pasta sounds good. As a side dish, how about some croquettes?
I made lunch diligently and put the dishes on the table…
"Wow, they all look delicious, Yukishiro-Onii-san."
"Let's start eating."
"Yes."
"I'm jealous. You're a better cook than me."
"Eri-chan is a good cook as well. Well then, Eri-chan, congratulations on your move. Itadakimasu."
""Itadakimasu!""
