  's deep voice echoed in the room, Kato Yusuke sat by the bed, holding the English textbook in his hand, reciting the vocabulary word by word.

   “Grumble…Grumble…Grumble”

  “Zizzi…Zizzi…Zizzi”

   rises from the pan with the heat of the grease.

   The long brown hair was tied back into a ball, and her delicate ears were exposed, while Sayu, who was wearing an apron, was busy in the kitchen.

   Teenagers read, girls cook.

   The atmosphere inside the house is peaceful and peaceful, everything seems so beautiful.

  The first ray of sunshine in the morning spreads out, the silk-like sunshine, passing through the morning light, spreads out with clear and moving light.

   It is now 7:30 am Tokyo time.

   Kato Yusuke closed the book, closed his eyes and recalled the vocabulary he had written down before, and kept reciting in his mouth.

   One of the straight legs is bent and the other is straight, the head is leaning against the bed at a 45-degree angle, the elbows are placed on the edge of the bed, and the English textbook is pinched between the index and middle fingers of the right hand.

   looks lazy and casual, but his expression is very serious.

  Two diametrically opposed temperaments appeared on him at the same time, which made him a little more attractive.

"it is good."

   Kato Yusuke exhaled softly, then opened his eyes suddenly, and ticked a tick on today's schedule.

   "The second task is completed."

   He stood up and started packing.

   Textbooks, notebooks, question bank books, stationery.

   He put the things that the school needed today into his schoolbag one by one, then he turned his head, looked towards the kitchen, and said after a while.

   "Sorry, because of me, you didn't have a good rest. You won't have to prepare breakfast tomorrow, and lunch boxes too. And there is a cafeteria in the school, so don't be too hard..."

   was interrupted before he finished speaking.

   "That can't be done."

   Sayu said in a gentle but firm tone, then walked out from behind the kitchen counter, carrying a bento box wrapped in black flannel.

   "Here, bento~"

The    protracted sentence sounds very cute, just like the girl herself.

   "Have a good meal."

   Sayu ordered, with his hands behind his back, and looked at Kato Yusuke with a smile.

"…understood."

   Kato Yusuke nodded in agreement, put the lunch box in his schoolbag, then picked up the schoolbag and walked towards the entrance, while Sayu followed closely behind.

   "Speaking of which, I received last month's wages yesterday."

   Kato Yusuke said while changing his shoes.

"Um?"

   Sayu looked at Kato Yusuke with some doubts, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned this.

   But this question will soon be answered.

   Kato Yusuke stood up, knocked the leather shoes on his feet lightly on the ground, and said in a casual tone.

   "...In the envelope on the table is the 30,000 yen I took out yesterday. Put that away."

   After he finished speaking, he paused, and continued without waiting for Sayu to speak.

   "This money is at your disposal to buy the ingredients you need every day, because I will probably be busy until next month and may not be able to set aside time to do this."

   "You can use the rest as pocket money."

   (Actually, I wanted to count it as pocket money, but she would definitely refuse it, so let’s start with this.)

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but think so.

   Sure enough—

"what…"

   Sayu's face showed confusion.

   "No need, I'll buy the ingredients back, it's fine for pocket money."

   She waved her hands again and again.

   Kato Yusuke sighed inwardly.

   "But you don't have any money, right? In such an empty home, it's hard to live without entertainment every day, isn't it?"

   "It's enough that you're willing to let me live."

   Sayu said politely.

   "Is that so." Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Then save the change, and we can go out to eat once in a while."

"Eh?"

   Sayu was stunned for a moment, looked at Kato Yusuke and said with some trouble: "Is this okay...?"

   It was mixed with a little excitement and anticipation, but it was more of a nervous, very fresh feeling.

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but smile, staring at Sayu with the corners of his mouth raised.

   "Is it okay, you are obviously very happy."

The tone of    was a little sarcastic.

   Sayu's face blushed, pursed her lips tightly, and said with a little twist.

   "If Yusuke could do it..."

   After saying that, without waiting for Kato Yusuke to say anything, Sayu kept urging on his lips while putting his hands on Kato Yusuke's shoulders.

   "Alright, alright, Yusuke hurry up and go out, or you'll be late for school."

   Then Kato Yusuke was pushed out of the room by her.

  Although the temperature in April has begun to warm up, it is still a little cool in the morning.

   At this moment, a cold wind was blowing, and Kato Yusuke, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but shiver.

   He tightened the collar of his clothes, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"What-?"

   Sayu's voice came from the other side, but he didn't open the door.

   (This should be my home, right?)

   Kato Yusuke couldn't help but think silently, but still patiently exhorted him.

   "...Nothing, remember to be safe when you go out, and..."

   he added.

"I am leaving."

   Then he walked downstairs to the apartment, the sound of footsteps drifting away.

   Inside the door.

   Sayu, who had his back against the door of the room, sat down slowly, with a smile that seemed to be relieved at the corner of his mouth, put his hands on his chest, and responded gently.

   "Be careful on the road..."

  …

School.

  After a morning of hard study, it was finally time for lunch break.

  The students left the classroom one after another, gathered in groups of three or five, or went to the cafeteria or the commissary to prepare for lunch.

  Of course, there are also many people who choose to stay in the classroom to eat bento, and Kato Yusuke is one of them.

   "...I don't like natto."

   This is his first sentence after opening the bento box.

   "If that's the case, let me help you solve it. As a reward, please give me two pieces, no, a piece of fried chicken!"

   "Ah—! I want to do that too!"

   is still a familiar recipe, still a familiar taste, and...still a familiar sand sculpture duo.

  Taka Yamaguchi and Ichiro Takei.

   The two of them snickered and stared at Kato Yusuke in front of them - fried chicken + rice **** + fried vegetable bento.

   He was still holding chopsticks out of nowhere, and he was approaching Kato Yusuke's food box.

   But he nimbly avoided it.

   Kato Yusuke held a bento with one hand, looked at Yamaguchi and Takei thoughtfully, and asked.

   "...you guys want to eat?"

   ushered in a frantic nod from the two of them, with a deep desire called appetite in their eyes.

"Really…"

   Kato Yusuke nodded, put the lunch box on the table, took a deep breath, and said sternly.

   "But I refuse!"
