My youth romance is always confusing

"Hoo! Hoo!"

I didn't expect that just a few steps would make me breathless. Is it because I have been lacking exercise recently?

After piling all the things in my hands on the seat, I collapsed on the chair like a person with a disabled lower body.

"Hehe, luckily Xiaoqi is here to help, otherwise I really can't carry all these things back by myself."

The seats in the originally quiet coffee shop were now piled with large and small bags of things bought from the mall. If the previous bags were included, the bags had almost piled up into a small mountain.

Yukino and Mitsuki also had to make room for these things.

"Although I expected it, I also thought about how much you bought."

Looking at the piles of vegetables, fruits and large and small bags of snacks in front of her, Yukino was a little dazed.

Although she usually takes care of her own daily life, she has never made such a large-scale purchase before.

After all, her health is not very good, so she can only buy less each time.

But in other words, she lives alone and doesn't need to make such a large purchase.

Looking at their dazed expressions, I could actually understand. Even with so many people in our family, such unscrupulous purchases almost never happened, not to mention that rich girl and Xiao Meiyue.

The bags piled up beside the table looked shaky and about to fall on Miyue, so I subconsciously reached out to support them.

Eh? wrong.

Do we have to transport so many things back ourselves?

"Yuigahama, have you thought about how to put these things?"

With a glimmer of hope, I looked at Yuigahama who was looking away.

Oh no, this guy's expression shows he is totally unprepared!

I swallowed to moisten my dry throat, looked at the paper bag that could almost bury me, and felt that the future was bleak.

"Sorry, Xiaoqi! I still have to trouble you to move back. Of course, I will help you!"

Realizing that she was not well prepared, Yuigahama quickly apologized to Hachiman, clasping her hands together in front of her chest and raising and lowering them as if she was worshiping Hachiman the Great Bodhisattva.

Hey, don't give me any weird labels.

"Oh, I know."

It's because one of them is a physical idiot and the other is a child. There's nothing we can do about it.

But Ms. Yuigahama, you must be prepared next time you plan to go shopping, really.

----------

"Yohoo~"

After going back and forth several times, we finally managed to transport these things back to Yuigahama's home.

After placing the bags in the kitchen and the entrance, I began to look around.

Her house looks like mine, a two-story detached house. But then again, this neighborhood is full of buildings like this, so it's not really anything unusual.

Today is the weekend, but Yuigahama's parents are not at home. Are they too busy with work to come home, or are they out for some fresh air because their daughter informed them in advance that there would be a birthday party? But either way, this pair of parents must love their daughter very much.

"Xiaoqi, just put the vegetables in the kitchen."

Yuigahama, standing in the living room, began to direct everyone's actions, like a commander giving orders.

But unfortunately, the commander is not allowed to enter the kitchen.

This was also a small request that Yukinoshita made when she came to the birthday party.

After all, Yuigahama's reputation as the 'Devil of the Kitchen' had already spread throughout the Service Club, and only Mitsuki, who had joined the club relatively early, escaped.

When I walked into the kitchen, there was already someone busy inside.

Yukinoshita was washing the vegetables she had just bought, and from time to time she would glance at the remaining vegetables piled next to her that needed washing. She must be planning something.

"Isn't it a bit too early to deal with these things now?"

Although it took a lot of time to buy things, don’t forget that we gathered in front of the station at 8 o’clock in the morning.

Even though we walked around the mall for a long time, the hands of the clock on the wall were only now pointing to between nine and ten. In other words, it was not even half past nine. Was it really okay for us to start cleaning the vegetables just like that?

Yuigahama, who was arranging the sofa for Mitsuki to sit on in the living room, looked at the clock after hearing what Hachiman said.

"It seems a little early, why don't we go out and play first."

Compared to staying at home, going out and playing is obviously more to Yuigahama's liking.

And now at home, she can't help in the kitchen.

“But these dishes…”

Looking at the vegetables that had already been processed in front of her, Yukino didn't know what to do for a moment.

In fact, such a large amount of vegetables was not bought just for Yuigahama's birthday party. Some of them were bought because she thought, "Oh, that's delicious." It is estimated that she will not eat all the vegetables on the ground today.

"Don't worry, we have more than enough time. It will be the same when we come back."

"But the dishes have already been prepared, it's not a good idea to just leave them there..."

The cabbage with its outer leaves already removed and the half-peeled potatoes were still on the chopping board.

If I leave now, I'll be in a mess when I come back.

"Then just finish what you have on hand before going out."

Seeing that the two of them were arguing with each other, I decided to deal with the root problem first.

It's just some cabbage and potatoes, just get it done quickly.

I subconsciously walked towards the kitchen.

But soon, I realized something was wrong.

Yuigahama is a kitchen killer, and although Mitsuki has high housework skills, I am embarrassed to ask her to help in this situation. So the only one left is me to help that Yukinoshita woman.

And there was a problem with the allocation of personnel from the very beginning. A physical idiot, a kitchen banner, and a little kid. No matter what I do, I seem to be the one who has to work and put in the effort.

I was the only boy present.

Spare me....

I resigned myself to my fate and walked towards the kitchen, took the cabbage that Yukinoshita had placed aside and started peeling it. I left the potatoes that needed peeling to Yukinoshita who was daydreaming on the side. After all, it was a technical job and didn't require much physical effort.

"What are you looking at? Get to work."

Why did this woman Yukinoshita suddenly become stunned? She was doing fine just now.

Could it be because I suddenly barged in to help?

You don't look down on me, do you? If that's the case, I'll go home.

"oh....."

After coming to her senses, Yukino continued to pick up the potatoes and began to peel them one circle after another.

The reason why she was suddenly stunned just now was that she always felt as if she had seen this scene somewhere.

it's wired.

She shook her head, put aside the unrealistic fantasies in her mind, and concentrated on peeling the potatoes in her hand.
