Stay Over Boy’s Side ①
And the second of May arrives. Today is the day Renya comes to stay over at our house. He is our very first guest besides our family, so I couldn’t help getting excited and cleaned up.
“Ah, looks like he is here huh”
Just as I was about to prepare some black tea since I finished everything for the time being, the intercom rang. I checked and it was Renya, so I open the front door.
“Renya, please, come on in”
“Pardon my intruーsion”
Renya, perhaps finding something interesting, enters while surveying the surroundings restlessly. I don’t think there is anything particular to see since the wall is not decorated with art or anything though.
“Ah, Kazunari. Here, I bought some cake as a present. I went for the safe choices like shortcake and chocolate cake since I don’t know your preference. I’m sorry, but let this even out the previous treating matter”
“Sure. Let’s have it for dessert after our meal”
It makes me happy that he went out of the way to bring a present. In any case, let’s put it in the refrigerator.
“And this here is Nakamatsu-san’s room huh”
“No entering, alright?”
“I mean, I said it previously as well, I won’t go in. I just thought, ‘You’re really staying together huh'”
A paper with a large「No Entry」written is pasted on the door that leads to Yae’s room. I think it will be fine since it is Renya, but just to be sure, I also prepared a contraption that can tell whether he went in or not.
“So what are we going to do? It is still too early to cook, so shall we play games or something?”
“Oh, you have games. What do you have?”
“If it is a game that two people can play, then it is either party games or racing games huh. Of course, I have the controllers”
“Oh, you have racing games huh. Let’s play it”
“Fufufu. I wonder if you can win against me?”
It may look like this, but I play it a bit when I have nothing to do. Especially if they are racing games, my playtime does not pale even in comparison to Yae.
“Loser has to buy the winner a juice pack next time then”
“No, let’s not gamble. It is empty to gamble on a battle which outcome is evident”
“You’ve gone and said it……I’ll definitely win!!”
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
“Aren’t you trash at it!!!!”
The result of the five matches that we did before I start cooking is 0 wins 5 loses; Renya’s complete victory. Wellー, Renya is strong huhー.
“Weren’t you saying, ‘I wonder if you can win against me?’, and, ‘It is empty to gamble on a battle which outcome is evident’, just now!?”
“I did not say a single word about me being strong, did I. Rather, Renya normally boasts how good he is at games, so I knew that the battle would result in my loss, so it is not a lie”
I am terrible at games as well huh. How should I put it, I cannot control according to what I am thinking, and I am slow at assessing the situation……honestly, everybody is too strong.
“I mean, Kazunari’s rating is below 1000 after all……”
“By the way, Yae’s rating exceeded 5000, you know?”
“Are you serious……that’s unexpected……”
On the other hand, Yae is extremely good at it. I couldn’t help being charmed by the figure of her silently finish off her enemies with headshots when I make her play FPS.
“Leaving that aside, what do you want to eat? I am confident that I can make most dishes. If it is a dish that takes some time, then the later it is we will eat though”
“I’ll leave it to you! Honestly, I just want to eat Kazunari’s cooking, so anything is fine!”
“Let’s have Katsudon1 or something then. Please get in the bath while I am cooking. I started filling the hot water during our break time just now, so the timing should be just right”
“Oーkay. Ah, can I borrow your bath towel? I forgot mine at home”
“Sure, help yourself. You can use the shampoo and stuff as well”
Now then, since Katsudon alone is not nutritionally balanced, I guess I will make miso soup to go along with it.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
“Alright then, I am digging in”
“I am diggーing in!!! ……deliciousss!!!”
“I am glad”
I was not worried since it tasted nice as far as the taste testing goes, but more than anything, it is great that it looks like suits his taste. I thought that maybe Renya prefers a stronger flavour, and I was correct to cook with that in mind huh.
“It might be even tastier than my Okaa-chan‘s cooking……”
“I am happy to hear you say that, but I feel bad for Renya’s Okaa-san, so let’s stop it”
“That’s true. Rather, this miso soup here is also delicious……aren’t your femininity level high?”
“Is that so?”
Is being told that my femininity level is high really a compliment……I am not a woman; I am a man after all……I am happy in the sense that the meal is delicious though.
“After the meal, there is also the cake Renya bought, so please leave some space in your stomach”
“Although you say that, it’s so delicious I can’t stop myself……they say there’s a separate stomach for sweets, it’ll probably be fine”
“I guess I shall prepare some digestive medicine beforehand just in case……”
In the end, Renya even went for a second serving after this. It is a surprise that he is still going to eat the cake. Let’s have him drink some digestive medicine beforehand.
