After finishing their ice cream, the two of them returned home with the groceries they bought.
?
"Seiji, come to our house for dinner tonight." Something flashed in Mika's eyes.
"Eh? Why are you suddenly … "
"Just come if I tell you to!"
"But Mrs. Landlord …"
"Mom will agree … I'll call her right now and ask!" Mika decisively took out her cell phone.
Nozomi Uehara received a phone call.
After picking up the call, she listened for a moment and smiled.
'Good job, that's what you should do, Mika!
Now that an opponent has appeared, this child has become more decisive. ' Mrs. Landlord was pleased with her daughter's growth.
"Mom agreed, but she wants you to help cook as well, so don't go back to your room later — come to my house together!" Mika said to Seiji in an imposing manner after she finished talking on the phone.
"Oh … okay." Seiji reflexively responded.
Even if he had to help cook dinner together with Uehara and her mother, he would be more than happy to do so, but he felt that this time …
'Er, I'll stop thinking about it.' Seiji stopped thinking about it.
The boy and the girl walked home together.
…
After Nozomi Uehara returned home, she saw her daughter and the tall boy together in the kitchen, preparing ingredients together.
The two young men in aprons stood side by side as they worked, occasionally chatting. It was a heartwarming scene.
Nozomi sincerely felt that this was wonderful.
She was already used to seeing her daughter's figure, but the boy's figure … it was reassuring to have a strong and reliable boy at home.
Her husband died young, and as a widow, she raised her daughter by herself. She had to endure all sorts of hardships and pressures.
Although it wasn't that she didn't want to remarry, seeing her daughter and missing her husband made her subconsciously do it.
She had almost forgotten what it felt like to have a man at home, but at this moment, she clearly recalled it.
The tall figure of the boy sitting across from her seemed to overlap with her husband's.
Nozomi was lost in thought for a while before she regained her senses, her face burning slightly.
'Honestly, what am I thinking about!
He's just a boy, a student the same age as her daughter. Although he's tall and straight, he's still a child.
However, the sense of security he brought here was really …
Nozomi stopped thinking about it and forcefully suppressed the trace of restlessness in her heart. She then smiled and walked over.
"Mom? Welcome back. "
"Excuse me, Mrs. Landlord."
The young woman saw her adorable daughter greeting her and the gentle young man greeting her politely.
"Yes, I'm back … Welcome, Haruta-kun."
Nozomi smiled in response and joined the two of them.
Just like a real family.
Cooking with Mika and the landlady, and then having dinner together, the process was as pleasant as expected.
Seiji enjoyed this kind of time.
The only thing that caught his attention was that Mika … had become more proactive.
She sat beside him, picked food for him, stared at his face, and talked to him … In short, she was obviously more proactive. Even though her face was blushing, she still tried to take the initiative to … get closer to him.
The reason for this was easy to guess. Seiji sighed in his heart.
'Feng Wu Juumonji …'
The blonde girl flashed through his mind. Seiji suppressed the mysterious emotion in his heart and continued smiling at Uehara and her daughter.
After dinner.
Seiji helped wash the dishes before returning to his room.
However, not long after he sat down, he heard a knock on his door.
Seiji silently facepalmed for several seconds before he opened the door.
As expected, it was the Grand Mistress of the golden mafia.
'She's been waiting for me all this time!'
Feng Wu Juumonji still had a smile on her face, but there was a shadow in her smile.
"Hello, Harano-kun. Have you eaten dinner?"
"Hello … I've already eaten."
"Actually, I ordered sushi takeout, thinking that if you hadn't eaten yet, I'd treat you to it … but it seems that I'll have to wait until next time." Feng Wu sighed with a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"This is a greeting gift for you. You didn't accept it just now, so … is it alright now?" Feng Wu handed him another box of desserts.
"Thank you, I'll accept it." Seiji accepted the box.
"Sorry for disturbing you. Please have a good rest now." Feng Wu bowed slightly before turning around to leave.
There was a hint of loneliness in her beautiful back view.
Seiji's expression kept changing as he held the box of desserts.
"Wait a moment!" he called out.
The blonde girl stopped in her tracks.
"Would you like to come in and have a seat? Although there's nothing to entertain you with … "
Feng Wu slowly turned around.
"I … would love to."
Her beautiful face had a twinkle in her eyes, and there was even a hint of red on her face.
'I'm such an idiot!' Seiji couldn't help but comment on himself.
But he couldn't bear to watch it.
Besides, he needed to talk to her.
Seiji thought this as he invited her into his room.
The room was small and small, making it difficult to entertain guests. Seiji had her sit in his chair while he sat on the edge of the bed.
Fortunately, there were only two cups … only two.
He poured two cups of tea and opened the box of desserts that she brought and placed them on the table together as a form of hospitality.
"These are cheap tea leaves, so there's no need to hold any expectations for the taste. Just drink as much as you like."
"No … as long as it's tea that you brewed, it's good tea to me," Feng Wu said with a reddened face as she lifted the teacup with both hands and slowly brought it to her lips.
Seiji sighed inwardly at how careful she was acting.
What were the chances that a beautiful woman with such an aura would be completely unmoved by a boy?
Seiji felt that it would be zero.
At the very least, that was the case for him.
He received many love letters at school … but since they were love letters and he didn't meet them in person, he was able to deal with them.
But Feng Wu Juumonji had personally pursued him. She was an undeniably beautiful woman!
Even though it was a little troublesome, it was impossible for him not to be moved.
But it wasn't love, and besides, her status … Seiji thought about it.
'No matter what, let's have a proper chat first.'
"Juumonji-san, there's no need to use honorifics with me. Relax your attitude and have a casual conversation."
"Is that alright?" Feng Wu's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this.
"Please do so. It's good to be polite, but I'm not used to speaking in such a manner." Seiji picked up his own teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Yes …" Feng Wu was delighted that she was able to get slightly closer to him.
The room fell silent for a moment.
"I'm not good at beating around the bush, so I'll just get straight to the point." Seiji scratched his face awkwardly.
"I'm sorry if I've misunderstood or been rude … Anyway, you came here for me, didn't you?"
Feng Wu's face became even redder as she slowly nodded.
"If that's the case, I'm quite happy that you … have a good impression of me, but I currently have no intentions of getting a girlfriend," Seiji said sincerely as he looked at her.
Feng Wu's expression darkened slightly.
"Harano-kun … do you think that me coming here is troublesome?" she asked in a small voice.
"No, I wouldn't say troublesome … but to be honest, it's a little troublesome," Seiji said honestly.
Feng Wu's expression instantly darkened even further.
"But you didn't do anything wrong. Whether you live here or wherever you live, it's all up to you.
You came here for me, so I need to respond to your feelings, and my response is what I said just now …
"Although I don't think that I'm worthy of you doing so much for me, but … at any rate …"
Seiji scratched his face again with a slightly embarrassed expression, and his gaze wavered.
"Thank you for liking me."
Something flashed in Feng Wu's eyes when she heard this and saw how embarrassed he was, and the gloomy expression on her face gradually disappeared.
As expected of this person …
Her heart was filled with warmth and an indescribable feeling. All the frustration she felt just now seemed to have been squeezed out.
