Chapter 28 Should I invite her to dinner? (Two in one)

"coming!"

As a man answered the door, the door opened with a click, and Watanabe Yu's figure appeared in front of Hamabe Ryoko.

"Hamabe-senpai, what are you doing?"

Looking at Hamabe Ryoko in front of him, a hint of doubt appeared on Watanabe Yu's face.

Logically speaking, at this time near dusk, the only person who would knock on his door would be Hamabe Ryoko's grandmother.

"A thank you gift from last time."

Ryoko Hamabe handed the lunch box in her hand to Yu Watanabe.

Inside was the fried pork chop she had made for him after get off work in the morning, before going to the hospital to take care of him.

"Thank you."

Watanabe Yu took the lunch box from her hand generously and said thank you.

In fact, he wanted to say something like "It's just a piece of cake" at first, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Given Hamabe Ryoko's personality, she would feel much more comfortable if he accepted her kindness frankly.

People who are forced to have strong personalities by the environment are usually like this.

"You're welcome."

Seeing that Watanabe Yu readily accepted the lunch box, Hamabe Ryoko's expression became visibly relaxed.

Before Watanabe Yu answered, she was really worried that he would refuse to accept it no matter what.

"Where's grandma?"

Watanabe Yu picked up the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was now approaching May and the temperature was getting higher and higher. It was still spring, but the temperature was already approaching summer.

He was cooking in front of the stove just now, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was sweating profusely. The old-fashioned electric fan that only made noise and produced a slight breeze was completely useless.

"She's in the hospital."

When talking about her grandmother Rie Hamabe, Hamabe Ryoko subconsciously lowered her eyebrows, and a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes.

She didn't want her grandmother to lie in bed at all.

"You just came back from escorting?"

Watanabe Yu took up the conversation.

That night, Hamabe Ryoko said that she would go to the hospital to accompany the patient in a few days.

"Yes."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

In fact, to be more precise, she had just gone up to the second floor and hadn't even had time to enter her own home.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Watanabe Yu keenly grasped the crux of the problem.

If Hamabe Ryoko just came back, then this girl probably hasn't eaten.

and……

He raised his eyebrows and looked out into the night outside.

It's almost half past seven now. If she waits for her to go home and cook before eating, it will basically be eight o'clock in the evening.

"Not yet. I'll do it when I get back."

Ryoko Hamabe heard the hidden meaning of Watanabe Yu's words, gave a comforting smile, and chose to decline calmly.

She knew very well that there was not much food left in the refrigerator. The ingredients purchased on Wednesday had been sold out. The only thing left was half a bowl of uncooked rice in the rice bag.

But just rice is just rice.

She felt embarrassed to owe Watanabe Yu any more favors.

[Strong-minded people never reveal their difficulties, even if the ingredients she purchased that day were all gone]

[Different strategies should be used for different people]

[Being a little tougher should be good]

[The romance options have been updated, and the options with too high difficulty have been postponed]

【Would you like to invite her to dinner? 】

Tsk.

You finally made a choice for once, A Tong!!

"I just prepared the meal, want to eat together?"

Yu Watanabe extended the invitation.

Because he was financially more comfortable now, and today was the weekend after exam week, he cooked a few more dishes today, hoping to reward himself.

He remembered very clearly that when they went home that day, they talked about Chinese food.

At that time, he consciously paid attention to the micro-expressions on Hamabe Ryoko's face. When he mentioned Chinese cuisine, she listened very seriously.

She seems to have quite an interest in Chinese cuisine.

Of course, it could also be that the egg fried rice he sent her that day left a deep impression on her.

[Rewards have been issued: Music Comprehensive (Elementary)]

A cold mechanical sound rang in his ears.

"...it will disturb you."

Hamabe Ryoko bit her thin lips lightly, and there was some hesitation in her slightly cold voice.

Obviously, the cold wind whistling through the icy valley is no longer as cold and rejecting as it was at the beginning.

"It's just an extra pair of chopsticks." Watanabe Yuu stepped aside, bent down and opened the shoe cabinet, "As for the slippers..."

He looked at the pair of slippers that the Saint Miss had worn before, took them out, and placed them on the ground.

"Wear these."

This is the only pair of extra slippers he has at home.

I think the Saint Lady wouldn't mind this kind of thing.

"… Sorry to bother you then."

Ryoko, you are such a loser. Why do you start owing favors to others so easily again?
After cursing herself several times in her heart, Hamabe Ryoko walked into the entrance and changed into the slippers that Watanabe Yu had placed on the ground.

only……

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the slippers looked a little weird.

But she herself couldn't tell what was wrong.

To give a less appropriate example, it's like wearing clothes that other girls have worn.

But considering Watanabe Yu's personality, I should be the first girl to come to his house.

So, it’s an illusion.

She pursed her thin lips.

Walking along the corridor into the room, Hamabe Ryoko took a look inside the room, then turned around and walked to the stove with her long legs.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for food.

"Help me carry it over."

Seeing that Hamabe Ryoko came to the stove on her own initiative, Watanabe Yu didn't hesitate to hand her the spicy diced chicken and scrambled eggs with tomatoes that had just been served on a plate.

"hai~"

Hamabe Ryoko responded, took the two plates steadily, turned around, walked to the small square table on the tatami, put down the two plates, and then turned around and went back swiftly.

"There are two more dishes."

Watanabe Yu raised his eyes and motioned to Hamabe Ryoko to bring the remaining spicy and sour potato shreds and the sliced ​​braised beef over. He turned on the faucet in the sink as he wanted to wash the pot first.

He braised the braised beef yesterday, so it should have been well flavored.

Without exaggerating, the taste of the braised beef is not much different from those ten-year-old shops except that it lacks a little soul.

After all, he used the same bagged marinade.

Believe in the power of technology and hard work!

"Ah."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded slightly, picked up the two dishes obediently, put them down in front of the small square table, then turned around, as if she wanted to make another trip, but at Watanabe You's "No need", she obediently sat back on the futon.

After washing the used pot, Watanabe Yu wiped his hands with a towel, then picked up two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and the washed fruits and walked to the small square table and sat down.

As a person born in Shu, he would never deprive himself of food if conditions allowed. "As for rice, it's here."

Watanabe Yu raised his chin and motioned the latter to look at the rice cooker placed next to the small square table.

What he meant was that if she needed it, she could add it herself.

But the next second, he seemed to remember something, and he took the initiative to open the rice cooker, filled a bowl of rice, handed it to Hamabe Ryoko in front of him, then took the bowl from her hand and filled his own bowl with rice.

Ryoko Hamabe is different from Ayana Amamiya. The latter comes from a wealthy family and is much more generous and open about such small details. If Ryoko Hamabe were asked to add the extra ingredients herself, she would probably feel embarrassed and would only add a little bit.

"……Thanks."

Understanding what Watanabe Yu meant, Hamabe Ryoko took the rice and said thank you in a low voice.

"If it's not enough, add more yourself."

Watanabe Yu covered the rice cooker and reminded the latter.

When eating, unless you need to lose weight, you must eat until you are full.

Ryoko Hamabe has a good figure and doesn't need to lose weight.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Putting her hands together and saying the necessary pre-meal gestures in a ceremonial manner, Hamabe Ryoko picked up the chopsticks, took a look at the bright red spicy chicken, and after hesitating for a long time, she skipped the dish and chose the more friendly-looking scrambled eggs with tomatoes instead.

"This one isn't as spicy as you think."

After putting a piece of spicy chicken into his bowl with chopsticks, Watanabe Yu took a bite of it.

But the next moment, he himself was stunned for half a second.

Didn’t I say this not long ago!?

"おいしい! (oishii)"

After putting a piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes into her mouth, Hamabe Ryoko exclaimed in surprise, and a hint of happiness was visible on her pretty face.

The taste of this dish was beyond her expectation!

After chewing carefully for a while and swallowing the rice and vegetables in her mouth, Hamabe Ryoko looked at Watanabe Yu with an apologetic look on her face, "Sorry, Watanabe-kun, which dish were you talking about just now?"

She was a little too absorbed in it just now.

"That's it. It's not as spicy as you think."

Watanabe Yu pointed with his chopsticks at the bright red spicy chicken cubes on the plate.

He had already been very gentle.

In theory, this thing shouldn't be too spicy.

But as I said before, people's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

"Really?"

Ryoko Hamabe looked at the bright red spicy chicken, then looked at Watanabe Yu, tilted her head, and Watanabe Yu's face was reflected in her slightly cold eyes.

"Fidelity."

Watanabe Yu nodded, put a piece of braised beef in his own bowl, and put another piece in Hamabe Ryoko's bowl, "But, try this first!"

"Well, let me try it."

Ryoko Hamabe picked up the piece of braised beef in the bowl and put it into her mouth.

In fact, she had wanted to pick up the braised beef just now. She could see that the quality of the beef was quite good and it would taste very good. But after hesitating for a long time, she gave up the idea and didn't feel like picking it up.

Feeling the unique taste of the braised beef, she chewed it carefully and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

The mellow flavor of the beef bloomed on the tip of her tongue, and the excellent taste made her feel dazed for a moment.

“How come…”

"おいしい! (oishii)!"

Before Watanabe Yuu could finish his question, Hamabe Ryoko took the lead and gave him a thumbs up, praising him sincerely.

"Then eat more."

Watanabe Yu nodded with great satisfaction and put a piece of braised beef into his mouth.

After chewing and tasting it carefully, he suddenly became silent.

It must be said that technology has indeed changed our lives.

The taste of the braised beef he prepared was exactly the same as the braised beef sold in the delicatessen that he remembered.

"Oh, I forgot to ask you just now." Watanabe Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at Hamabe Ryoko, "What is grandma's current specific condition?"

He wanted to know something more detailed.

"The doctor said that we should stabilize the condition first and then find a suitable time to perform the surgery."

Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, and answered Watanabe Yu's questions honestly.

"You mean, it's going well?"

Watanabe Yuu tilted his head.

"It went pretty well."

Hamabe Ryoko gave an affirmative answer.

"That's good."

Watanabe Yu felt a little relieved, but looking at Hamabe Ryoko who was sitting properly on the futon in front of him, he found it really hard to connect her in front of him with the cold Hamabe Ryoko in school.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are like two different people.

But it's pretty good.

Watanabe Yu picked up the chopsticks again and, with some evil interest, put a handful of spicy chicken into Hamabe Ryoko's bowl.

There's no way I'll let you get away!

"..."

Looking at the small piece of bright red spicy chicken in the bowl, there was a hint of pity in Hamabe Ryoko's clear eyes.

She thought she had escaped.

She has a very low tolerance for spicy food.

but……

She lowered her shoulders, took a deep breath, like a submissive wife, closed her eyes, and ate the spicy chicken cubes anyway.

After five or six seconds, that fair little face turned a little red.

It was indeed quite spicy, but not to the point where she couldn't bear it.

And, how to put it, she had an indescribable feeling of surprise. After the first wave of spiciness, what was left was the overflowing fresh fragrance.

The chicken was cooked to perfection, just right!
Unexpectedly delicious!
"Is it spicy?"

Watanabe Yu looked at Hamabe Ryoko whose face was flushed and asked.

This will help him judge the severity of his actions in the future.

"Fortunately."

Ryoko Hamabe stuck out her pink tongue and stretched out her hand to fan her pretty face.

"If it's spicy, there's fruit."

Watanabe Yu pushed the washed cherry tomatoes in front of the girl.

This thing is very good at relieving spiciness, but it’s still not as good as watermelon.

Of course, this is only for him.

But then again, when he was shopping in the supermarket yesterday, he took a look at the watermelons on the shelf and found that the prices were indeed not very attractive.

Considering that he used to eat half of a meal at any time, that was indeed a bit of a luxury here.

"Thank you!"

Ryoko Hamabe immediately picked up a small tomato and put it into her mouth.

Soon, she recovered.

Then, something unexpected happened to Watanabe Yu.

After the girl recovered, the first thing she picked up with her chopsticks was not the braised beef in soy sauce, or the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, or the shredded potatoes that she had not tasted just now, but the diced chicken with spicy sauce.
