Episode 10 – Senpai, let’s have dinner


When I Told My Bright and Beautiful Senpai at My Part-Time Job That I Was Quitting My Part-Time Job, She Became a Yandere


“Arata kun, can I talk to you for a second?”

“That’s fine, butโ€ฆ why are you in front of my house?”

When I got home from school, for some reason, senpai who was dressed as stylish as ever was standing in front of my house, or more precisely, in front of the door.

A supermarket bag is held in her hand.

โ€œItโ€™s just that I went here, andโ€ฆ Arata-kun told me that I am someone you can feel close to, and I wanted to be there too!โ€

I didn’t mean ‘close to me’ as in physically close to meโ€ฆ

But I can’t ask you to leave when you came all the way here, can I?

“Please come up.”

I brought senpai my house and invited her into the living room, not my room today.

The reason is that I was hungry because it was the end of the school day and I was planning to have dinner as soon as I got home.

“Since you’ve come all this way, would you like to have a light meal or something if you like? I can’t cook anything too big though.โ€

โ€œReally?! In fact, I was thinking of making dinner for Arata-kun tooโ€ฆ here!โ€

Senpai held up the supermarket bag in her hand.

“Eh, you went to the trouble of making it for meโ€ฆ?โ€

“You told me to stay close! Ah, how about I do some laundry for you? I think most washing machines are the same everywhere.”

โ€œT-Thatโ€™s! Don’t worry, I can do that myselfโ€ฆโ€

“Okay, but if you’re going into the kitchen anyway, you’ll at least have to take off your uniform jacketโ€ฆ!โ€

Senpai forced me to take off my jacket

“Yes~, smells like Arata-kunโ€ฆ”

“โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

The last time she came up to my house for the first time, she said something about the smell, and I wondered if maybe she likes the smell.

I don’t understand how she feels, but there’s nothing good about smelling my clothes.

โ€œโ€ฆArata-kun, you don’t use perfume or anything like that, do you?โ€

“Eh?
Yes, I donโ€™t thoguhโ€ฆ”

Just as I was thinking, why are we suddenly talking about perfume?, senpai immediately added the reason for my question.

โ€œโ€ฆ.Did you hug or get close to a girl today?โ€

โ€œN-No, I didnโ€™tโ€ฆ Even if I give a light response, I still don’t have that close of a relationship with anyone.”

Actually, even at my previous school, there was only one girl I was close with, and I’ve never even had a girlfriend.

How can I hug a girl and be close to her?

“โ€ฆThe smell is clearly intentional hugging, if Arata-kun isn’t lying, then it’s proof that someone tried to carve their scent on Arata-kun.โ€

“Se, senpai?
Even if you say it in a way that makes it seem like an incident, it’s likely that we bumped into each other without me noticing, so please don’t worry about it.”

ใ€€
Senpai is more concerned than I thought, so I tell her not to worry about itโ€ฆ Ah, yes!

“I have an older sister, so maybe it’s just the smell of the clothes overlapping or something and it’s just transferred, really don’t worry about it.โ€

“โ€ฆYeah, I see!
Then that’s a relief!โ€

Senpai smiled at me.

It’s safe to say that things have calmed down for now.

“Can I help with the cooking too?โ€

“Eh, senpai tooโ€ฆ?”

“Originally I was going to cook for Arata-kun on my own”

Senpai tilts her head with a smile while I remain silent.

โ€ฆI appreciate senpai’s offer, I can understand because I saw how she worked at my previous part-time job in the kitchen.

It’s thatโ€ฆ if senpai did the cooking, I would be left with nothing to do first.

I invited her to my house as a guest, but how would it be like to leave the cooking to her?

I thought about it and said to her.

“It’s a very kind offer, but senpai is a customer right now, so it would be nice if you waited for my food, although I don’t know if it’s good or notโ€ฆ”

“If you put it like that, I have no choice but to wait! I’ll wait! Arata-kun’s homemade cookingโ€ฆI’m looking forward to it!~”

“It’s really not that big of a deal, so please don’t get your hopes upโ€ฆ”

After that exchange, I asked senpai to wait in the living room and immediately started cooking.

I make a really simple vegetable stir-fry and miso soup.

After a few dozen minutesโ€ฆ

“It’s readyโ€

Normally, there was some nervousness because of part-time jobs, or just the two of us alone.

“Wow~! Yay! Itadakimasu!”

ใ€€
The daily routine of spending time with senpai in this way, like a familyโ€ฆ wasn’t so bad.

โ€ฆWe are definitely trying to change into something other than part-time workers, senior and junior.

These small days made me feel it firsthand.

“It was better than any meal I’ve ever had~ thanks for the food!”

“That’s an exaggeration.โ€

“It’s true!
It was too good to eat!โ€

Senpai praise me endlessly.

I think it’s too much, but even so, I’m honestly happy.

And before I knew it, the time was approaching night.

“Then senpai, I’ll see you at my next part-time job.โ€

“Yeah, see you!”

I came out to the entrance to see senpai off to the front door, butโ€ฆ right after that.

The door of the front door opened, as if it was a trick of God.

The one who came in from there wasโ€ฆ

“I’m home!~”

It was my sister.
