I Saw My Female Friend, a Beautiful and Neat Girl, Holding a Romance Book Titled “How to Get Your Male Friend to Like You” and Decided to Give Advice on Love~ In Fact, the Guy She Likes Seems to Be Me!?~
It is Saturday, a holiday.
I ring the intercom at Makoto’s house and a smiling Makoto comes out the front door.
“Kakeru-kun! Good morning!”
“Yeah, good morning.”
“Come on up, come on up!”
I did as Makoto told me and went up to Makoto’s house.
The reason I came to Makoto’s house is because she cooks for me on a daily basis, so I thought I would cook for her today and I wanted her to eat my food.
I would have been happy to cook at my house, but Makoto said she would prefer it to be during the winter break, preferably on Christmas Eve, when she would come to my house for the first time, and since I wanted to cherish that special feeling, I agreed with her and we decided to cook at Makoto’s house today.
I went to the kitchen with Makoto and took out all the ingredients I had bought on the way to Makoto’s house from the bag.
“Kakeru-kun, what are you going to cook for me today?”
“I’m making stir-fried meat and vegetables today.”
“It looks delicious~! I’ll look forward to seeing you finish cooking!”
“Hmm? You can wait in the living room or do your assignment if you want.”
“I’ll do that with you! Besides, I want to see you cooking!”
“…..I see.”
I was almost a little embarrassed at the purity of her words, I then put the cutting board to the side.
Then, right after that, Makoto said.
“Kakeru-kun, you have to be careful not to cut your hands when cutting ingredients, okay?”
“I know.”
“Also, when you light the fire, you must be careful not to burn yourself, okay?”
“…..I know.”
“And ────”
“Makoto, I’m glad you’re worried about me, but you don’t have to worry so much.”
When I said that to Makoto, who was worried about me, she hugged me and said,
“I’m sorry, I’m worried about you, because you’re so important to me,…….”
I hugged Makoto back as she said that, and then I turned to face Makoto and said.
“As I said earlier, I’m glad Makoto cares about me and worries about me,……, so don’t apologize to me.”
“Kakeru-kun,…….”
Makoto’s cheeks flushed red and she called my name.
“….. I can’t start cooking if you hug me with a face like that.”
“I am happy just to be doing this with you, okay?”
“If you say that, so am I. …… I also want Makoto to eat my cooking, you know.”
“……Well, let’s hug each other a lot later, okay?”
“…… we will.”
Once we stopped hugging each other, I immediately started cooking.
────And a few dozen minutes later.
After cooking while Makoto watches over me, I finally finish the dish and eat it with Makoto in the living room.
Makoto ate it and said with a smile
“It’s delicious~! Kakeru-kun, this is really delicious!”
After saying that, Makoto took one or two more bites and continued to eat.
Watching Makoto, I said, raising the corners of my mouth a little.
“If you’re that happy, then it was worth it.”
“Yes, it was worth it! Thank you for making it!”
After saying that, Makoto acted as if she had just thought of something, her eyes darted around, her cheeks turned red, and she opened her mouth.
“…… but it would taste even better ──── if Kakeru-kun fed it to me.”
“Okay, okay, I can feed it to you, can’t I?”
“Yay!~”
Seeing how happy Makoto was, I said exactly what I wanted, although it was a little difficult to say.
“…Makoto, I want you to feed me.”
“…! okay! I’m gonna feed you even if you didn’t ask!”
After that, we fed each other food—Even though I made the food myself, I ate it with Makoto, and just having Makoto eat it made it taste so much better…. Makoto was so happy… On this day, I wanted Makoto to continue to eat the food I made.
────And after finishing the food, Makoto and I hugged each other many times as we promised.
