"Eh? Haruka, is Chiba up to something today?"
Inside the kitchen,
Reiko Onodera looked somewhat concernedly at the empty doorway, which at this time, the young girl would usually have walked into.
When she had just gotten home, she found only a young man sitting in the living room, playing with a cat, and thought that Chiba Shimizu must have gone back to her bedroom on the second floor for some reason.
While curious, she was more concerned about the girl's well-being.
"Mm, there's some stuff going on at school, she hasn't finished dealing with it yet," Haruka Yuzan, also wearing an apron, nodded, "She should be back soon though, let's start cooking."
"At school?"
Reiko blinked, her movements slowing slightly as if hesitating whether to call Chiba Shimizu to ask when she would return so she could start cooking...
Otherwise, the food would cool down if made too early.
But if she didn't cook, would Haruka get a little hungry…
