Chapter 26: CH 27

“Good morning……”

Suzuka came to the living room, straightening her slightly messy hair.

So the moving process is almost over and she was napping on the bed.

I was also sleeping until just a few minutes ago.

“Oh, good morning.”

“Familiarity is scary, isn’t it? I could sleep even though Yuki was next to me.”

“That’s right.”

I was so sleepy that I had no choice but to get into bed with her.

Familiarity is a scary thing, and what can I say, I was able to sleep normally.

Personally, I’m afraid I’ve gotten used to it in situations where I haven’t crossed the line.

“Well, the fridge we got is starting to get cold, so why don’t we go buy a few things?”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

In no time at all, we both went to the supermarket to finish shopping, just as we did yesterday.

I’m a miserable cook and Suzuka has told me not to cook, so I’ve been quiet except when buying ready-made meals.

Now, what’s going to be for dinner today?

“It’s curry today! If you don’t like it, I can make something else, but curry is fine, right?”

“Curry is fine. I’ll have you make it for me. I don’t ask for luxuries.”

“What about the meat? We can buy beef, pork, and chicken, we could freeze them all.”

“Considering our budget, we’ll go with pork or chicken.”

One thing I learned when I shopped at the supermarket.

Beef is expensive, and if we ate only beef, we would quickly exceed our food budget.

So, I think it is a good idea to save the beef.

“If we use beef all the time, we will soon exceed our food budget. Then, we’ll have chicken, which is healthier for us.”

Maybe it’s because we talked about her fat belly yesterday, but she is very health-conscious.

I think it’s good that she is a little bit concerned about it.

“Then, I’m going to put my skills to good use for my beloved Yuki!”

Then Suzuka finished shopping as usual and went to work on making curry.

I liked the way she was cooking, and I found myself looking at her.

“Hey, Yuki. Taste it?”

She handed me a little bit of curry on a plate and asked me to taste it.

Without any way to refuse, I checked the taste of the curry.

I felt that the sauce was a little thin, so I said without hesitation.

“You could use a little more roux, couldn’t you?”

“I knew it.”

She placed the remaining curry roux on the top  and melted it so it wouldn’t ball up on the top.

While waiting for it to be ready in the living room, I picked up a rag to wipe the table top and happily spin the ladle around while I managed to wet the rag with one hand.

“Hey, hey, Yuki. If it wasn’t me and you had started living with someone else, what would you have said about the taste of the curry you just tasted?”

“We have different tastes, and I think I would have refrained from saying. I think I would have said, “This is fine.”

“You are surprisingly reserved, aren’t you, Yuki?”

“I suppose you can say that about yourself. But, however, I don’t hold back with you, who I have known for a long time. So I had to say it honestly.”

“Well, me, too… I won’t hold back. You’ve been staring at me since a while ago, are you having fun?”

“I’m having fun, I mean, it’s nice to see you in an apron…”

“Ehehe, yeah?”

“Well, yeah.”

I feel nothing but an unreserved relationship.

Maybe it’s because it’s me and Suzuka that we start living together like this.

About 45 minutes after starting to cook the curry.

We started to eat the curry without forgetting to cook the rice.

“Itadakimasu. …It’s delicious. It’s better than the curry my mother makes.”

“Hehehe, I’m flattered. Well, I’ll have some too.”

“By the way, what about laundry and cleaning? Now that we’re getting a sense of life, we have to make a decision, don’t we? Well, if Suzuka is in charge of the cooking, then I’ll do it.”

“Then I’ll do the cooking. Yuki is in charge of other household chores. Well, that is, after your hand is healed.”

“That’s right. When my hand heals, I’ll get to work, and until then, I’m counting on you.”

“Yeah, yeah. I really like that Yuki is so disciplined like that. By the way, Yuki. Did you do something bad to me when you woke up before me after sleeping?”

Suzuka asked fidgetily.

When I woke up first, I honestly wanted to touch her chest and various other parts of her body…

Therefore, I will say it clearly.

“I touched you a little bit. I won’t say which part.”

“Yuki ecchi…”

Her voice is a little sulky and quiet.

I was overcome by the cuteness of Suzuka, who was still new to me, and I asked her, too.

“Kuh, it can’t be helped. I’m a man. You know, Suzuka, you didn’t do anything to me while I was sleeping, did you?”

“…No, I didn’t.”

Suzuka is a terrible liar.

She makes a face that says I must have slept with her first and she must have touched me in some way, so I attack her a little.

“I’m not afraid of naughty girls, so tell me the truth. What did you touch while I was sleeping?”

“Eh, uh, you know…”

She was a little shy, and her eyes looked down.

“Really?”

“Huh. Gently over your clothes, okay?”

What a cute bride.

Her initial and fearless behavior really sticks out to me.

“By the way, what did you think?”

“Don’t make me say it! If you’re so mean to me, I won’t help you in the bathtub!”

It seems I teased her a little too much.

In the end, I ate the curry with a big gulp and a big mouthful.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

“Ngugu. Well, I forgive you. But you were mean to me, and even if I wanted to do that thing, I wouldn’t let you do it.”

“Oh-ho. So you mean you’re going to make a move on me?”

“Damn it! Baka! I really won’t let you do it anymore! I’m not going to let you have it until you get down on your knees and say please mercifully to me!”

I wasn’t the one who first asked on the bed yesterday…

I mean, the fact that she would let me do it if I got down on my knees and asked her, she really is a little bit too fond of me, don’t you think?

On the night of the day we exchanged that she wouldn’t let us do it until I got down on my knees, I wanted Suzuka to wash my body as usual.

As usual, I was going to ask Suzuka to wash my body, but…

“S-Su, Suzuka-san?”

I was so surprised that I called Suzuka as “san”.

Because, as she said yesterday, she came to wash my body wearing a bathing suit.

She is wearing a one-piece but a little bit hot black swimsuit that suits her.

“Aren’t I cute? If you get down on your knees and ask me, I’ll let you touch me as much as you want.”

“K-ku, I don’t want to get down on my knees because that would be a weird memory for me.”

“Ahahaha, Yuki unexpectedly has a fairy tale-like personality. You should get down on your knees, right? Right?”

I looked at my right hand.

A cast that will come off in a month.

To be honest, my hands probably made it so that Suzuka would definitely take the lead.

I didn’t want to show her how pathetic I was at our first time together, so I declared to Suzuka.

“Only after my right hand is healed. Until then, you must be patient.”

“I see. I see. So you don’t want me to see your pathetic appearance. But you were mean to me when we were eating curry earlier, so I can be mean to you too, right?”

She hugged me on my left arm.

Then she said deliberately said.

“You know, it would be a lot easier if I got down on your knees, right? It’s funny that I should say this after doing it myself, but this is embarrassing.”

I’m embarrassed. Please quit. I really can’t control myself.

It’s too cunning to say you’re embarrassed and blush so much, even though it’s a habit you made yourself.

Oh, I want to get down on my knees. I really want to get down on my knees.

But I’m a man.

Until I can use my right hand, I’ll hold back and show her!!!

“Don’t lick me, okay?”

“Kuuuh~~~~. Yuki is trying to hold back so much, it’s so cute, I might die. The sight of Yuki trying to hold back … is really nice …”

She looked so pleased with her eyes shining brightly.

As expected, she said I was cute for holding back, and she will not do something a little lewd like this in the future, will she?
