After Eating and Action

“Oh, I ate, I ate. Thank you for the food.”

After somehow negotiating (robbing) to get rid of the photos and videos on my phone the same way, we finished our dinner.

Yup. It was delicious.

Dinner was delicious smelling curry rice, meat and potatoes, and hamburger steak.

…… Many? I thought so too, but Rin is curry. Rina is nikujaga and Anju is a hamburger.

I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to have a lot of food left over, but it’s a good idea to have a lot of food left over.

Well, it was all delicious, so it was fine.

But still, I thought the amount of food Rin and Anju ate was as abnormal as ever.

It was the same at the previous barbecue, but where that amount of rice could fit in that thin body.

“Yes. I’m sorry.”

“Oh, was it delicious?”

“Of course. It was delicious, wasn’t it?”

“Yes, of course, it was. All of the food was terrific!”

I gave my honest opinion.

I didn’t know what the curry’s secret ingredient was, but it had a very mild flavor.

The meat and potatoes were seasoned strongly, but the dashi broth gave it a gentle flavor that was also excellent.

It was exactly the nostalgic homey taste that made you feel at ease.

And the hamburger steak! I don’t need to tell you about this one.

The hamburger steak with homemade sauce that Rin must have made was juicy, and the juices overflowed in my mouth, and it was the best.

“I see. That was good.”

“Ha, yes. It was worth the effort.”

“Yeah. Everyone worked hard, including me, to make it,”

“Well, thank you. It was delicious. I think everyone will make good wives out of this, don’t you?”

“””EEEHHHH???”””

The three of them froze with surprised faces at my words.

Hm?

“What’s wrong, all three of you?”

“No, no. Nothing. ……”

“Uh, yeah. Nothing.”

“Well, you know, I was just a little surprised.”

“?”

I’m not sure, but  I don’t think I’m like an insensitive MC who doesn’t know about others feeling.

I just said what I was thinking.

It’s embarrassing and slightly awkward.

But there’s no point in covering it up, and it will only make the atmosphere worse, so I’m just going to push it through.

“Well, then, it’s time to clean up.”

Maybe it’s because my mental strength status is high, but  I don’t feel that much shame.

Just to the extent that I feel like it. Or rather, let it be.

“Well, yes.”

“Oh, we’ll do it.”

Rina takes the initiative to stand up, grab the dishes and head to the kitchen, and Rin refuses my help again.

“No, no, let me at least do this. Even if it’s because I fell asleep when the three of you were cooking dinner.”

“Okay! Then please bring in the dishes!”

“Yes, sir.”

I do as Rin tells me and take the plates and cups to the washing area after all our food and drinks have been eaten and drunk.

Rin washes the dishes, Rina wipes those washed plates, and Anju puts them back on the shelf.

And I had nothing to do and was at a loss.

“…… Huh? Is my work done already?”

“Yes, I am. So please take a break.”

“Yeah~…… I’m kind of sorry about that.”

“But I don’t have a job anymore.”

That’s true if you ask me.

The desk is already clean while I’m carrying the dishes, and there’s nothing left for me to do.

“Ok. I’ll just stay in the living room, then.”

“Yes, please do!”

Rin replies with a smile.

I’ll stay in the living room. Nice smile.

Well, there’s nothing, so I guess I’ll go back to the sofa again.

“…… hmm?”

As I walk out of the kitchen to return to the living room, the view outside the window catches my eye.

The sky was completely dark, and only the house lights seemed to shine.

Then, over the fence, there was a figure peeking into this house, Rina’s house, and Anju’s house with that night view in the background.

“That’s …….”

I tried not to be obvious, but when I looked through the window, I found three people each hiding near their houses.

The only lights in the house were on. So I couldn’t make out their faces.

I took out my phone, set it to camera mode, started taking video, took a shot, and then put it away in my pocket.

I wish I had a breast pocket, but unfortunately, I don’t, so I put it in my pants pocket.

And then I did.

“Multiple Lock-On.”

I use [Multiple Lock-On] as I mutter and activate the skill.

The target is a total of nine suspicious people.

Or their necklace has a familiar symbol.

Oh, lost religion.

“…… Is it the fastest way to ask those guys?”

What are these guys aiming for, and why are they acting like they’re doing something sketchy?

Well, the answer is. No, let’s ask them, and I’ll know everything.

“…… Okay. Let’s go.”

“Huh? Kaede-san, are you leaving already?”

“No, I’m just going out for a bit.”

I said that and then went out the front door.

They’d run away the moment I tried to talk to them. When I open the front door. It makes a sound, doesn’t it?

And when that happens.

“Well, of course.”

They’d run away.

When I went out the front door, they were already gone. Well, that was obvious.

That’s why I used [Multiple Lock-On].

I used [Multiple Lock-On] on those nine people, so now my gaze is shifting as they move.

The nine people are running away separately, and my gaze is moving along with their movements. It’s normally tough. I feel like I’m going to get drunk.

But after a while, they all gathered in one direction.

“Now I know the direction of where they are likely to gather.”

It’s an application of the [Lock-On] skill, but it worked.

I’d like to keep going after them, but.

“First, I’ll have to explain to the three.”

While muttering so, I returned to the house.

……Now, how shall I explain it?
