My youth romance is always confusing

"Huh huh huh~"

I cooked for the first time in a long time, and I felt inexplicably happy.

I turned the spoon in my hand, stirring the vegetables in the pot back and forth.

After all, Hikigaya Hachiman is a man who dreams of being a househusband, so he can still master this basic cooking.

Although she is definitely no match for Yukinoshita.

When I thought of the woman still soaking in the bathroom, my happy mood instantly fell.

Well, the curry will be ready after a while, but the patient——

It’s better to make some porridge that is easy to digest. What does that guy like to eat?

In order to take care of the patient, even the curry was made non-spicy, but little Yuna is still young, so it’s better not to let her eat spicy food.

After washing the rice slightly, I cooked it into porridge according to the steps I remembered.

The next step is to simmer over low heat.

After doing all this, I looked around the living room and found that little Yuna was not there.

Has the child returned to his bedroom?

Hachiman walked across the dining table towards little Yuna's bedroom.

"Dang Dang Dang"

No matter when, it is better to knock on the door when entering the child's room. This shows respect for the child.

Soon, the door opened, and Yunai's little head appeared from the crack of the door, with the hair on it still swaying.

She turned to Hachiman with a smirk on her face.

"Dad, aren't you going to enjoy some time alone with Mom?"

A world for two or something... How come this kid knows so much? It must be Yukinoshita Haruno who taught him.

I once again crossed out a certain guy in my heart.

Children who learn bad things should be punished.

So I gently gave little Yunai a knife on the head.

“Oooooh, that hurts, Daddy.”

In an instant, tears appeared on little Yuna's face, and that look almost made Hachiman believe that she was really crying.

"The meal is ready, remember to come out and eat later."

Without saying anything else to little Yuna, Hachiman turned around and left.

"Hey~"

Little Yunai grimaced at a certain rude father.

After teaching the disobedient child a lesson, I continued to watch the fire in the kitchen.

By the way, does Yukinoshita take so long to take a bath?

I was bored and started thinking about what happened to Yukinoshita.

She definitely looks sick. We might as well ask for a day off tomorrow depending on the situation. As for her work, just leave it to Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Wow!"

I heard the sound of the glass door opening in the bathroom, and I couldn't help but look over.

The person who suddenly walked out of the bathroom was Yukino in pajamas. The blue pajamas suited her cool temperament very well. Her body, which had just come out of the bath, still had some water droplets hanging on her fair skin. However, her face really did not look full of energy, which resulted in her not having a cool temperament at all. Instead, she looked like a sick cat.

Out of humanitarianism, I stepped forward to help.

——I haven’t reached the point where I can’t even walk.

Yukino originally wanted to say this, but when she saw Hachiman coming to help, she just shut up and enjoyed this well-deserved help.

It's just like a girl who can never open a bottle cap in front of her boyfriend.

"Go back to your room and lie down first. I'll bring the meal to you when it's ready."

I helped Yukinoshita onto the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Then I placed my hand on her forehead, which was slightly hot.

"Do you have a cold or fever? How did you get this? Are you tired from too much work?"

Knowing that Yukinoshita was really sick, I started looking for the appropriate medicine in the room. Through the housework life in the past few days, I can say that I am very familiar with the arrangement of things in the house.

"Well, I've been a little tired lately."

Lying on the bed, Yukinoshita was not as stubborn as usual and easily gave her weak answers to Hachiman's questions.

"Take a day off tomorrow."

"That... that's not necessary. I'll soon cure this minor illness—"

"But if you don't rest well, the next illness may come faster."

I interrupted the slightly impatient Yukinoshita and calmly gave my opinion.

Diseases are not something that can be cured in one go; they may come back again in a short period of time.

Knowing this, Yukino did not continue to oppose Hachiman.

"But if it's work."

"You have your sister. Besides, you are sick. Can't she do more?"

I don't care what happens to that woman.

But Yukino still stubbornly defended her, "Sister, you've done a lot."

"Hey, hey. Those who are capable should do more work. It's only one day anyway, and you're dealing with matters related to the Mikazuki family recently. I don't think that girl is in a hurry, so it's okay to leave her alone for a day or two."

"Okay...okay."

Hey, Miss Yukinoshita, please speak properly. Why are you holding the quilt with your hands and only half of your face is exposed? You are not the Ice Queen, you are more like Snow White, but a 26-year-old woman can still be called Snow White, right? No way.

"I always feel like you're thinking about something very rude."

Sure enough, when the topic turned to Hachiman, Yukino's eyes became sharp.

"How is that possible, Ms. Yukinoshita Mind Reader?"

I put the medicine next to the bed and wait for her to finish her meal before giving it to her.

After dealing with Yukinoshita, I returned to the living room and found that the food would have to wait a while, so I turned around and went into the study, closing the door.

With a hint of anger that I didn't know where it came from, I called Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Hello, hello, Hikigaya-kun, what do you want from me?"

"Yukinoshita fell ill today. Weren't you in the company?"

In order to prevent Yukinoshita from hearing, I deliberately lowered my voice.

Yang Nai smiled slightly when she heard this.

"Ala, how could it be possible that you would doubt me when my lovely sister fell ill? Isn't it because of the rain that she caught a cold?"

"If it wasn't because of overwork, Yukinoshita wouldn't have gotten sick so easily."

At least in my impression, Yukinoshita is not so weak that she would get so sick just by getting caught in the rain. This is definitely closely related to her busy work recently.

"About work, my workload is almost the same as Yukino's."

"You know she's not in good physical condition."

Haruno knew this without Hachiman telling her.

"Xue-no-chan has been independent for a long time. She will be able to handle such a small matter. Besides, don't we still have you?"

After a moment of silence, I knew what this woman's purpose was.

According to Komachi's information, this woman is definitely a sister complex, but she would rather watch her sister get sick than take action. In addition to believing that Yukinoshita Yukino can complete the task independently, her other reason is -

"Is this the action you were talking about?"

Yes, just like the second half of Haruno's previous sentence, 'Don't you still have me?', the second reason for her actions was Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Huh~ Who knows?"

Hachiman's tough attitude was only met with a perfunctory response from Haruno.

After I realized that I couldn't get an answer from this woman, I said angrily into the phone, "Tomorrow, Yukinoshita will take a day off. You can do the work by yourself, old woman!"

Then I hung up and blocked him in one go. This guy will stay in my blacklist for at least one day.

"What? Old woman? I'm not even 30 yet, and I have a great body, you bastard—"

Furious, Yang No could only look at the hung-up screen on the other end of the phone in helpless rage.

Not to mention, this ferocious look is similar to that of Shizuka Hiratsuka back then.

It's a pity that Hiratsuka Shizuka could have beaten Hikigaya directly back then, but now Haruno can only vent her anger on her phone.

Even Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't stand this scene anymore.

"Yonori, that's not the case. Although Hikigaya's words are sometimes irritating, they are unintentional. Please forgive him."

The only one who can act as peacemaker now is Shizuka Hiratsuka.

After hearing her roommate's comfort, Yang Noi's anger turned back into an expressionless look, just like the weather in the afternoon, unpredictable.

"Oh, by the way, that guy also said something like 'Ms. Haruno is like an old woman like Mr. Hiratsuka. I don't think it's just a contagion between roommates (laughs)'"

In an instant, magma broke through the earth, as violently as if Groudon used the Cliff Sword.

"What did you say?"

At this moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka is as strong as a ghost!

"That kid deserves a good lesson!"

Seeing her roommate being easily aroused, Yang No secretly laughed in her heart. This was all thanks to the fact that Hikigaya often teased Hiratsuka Shizuka about her age, so Hiratsuka Shizuka believed it as soon as she said it.

However, thinking of Hachiman's current state, Hiratsuka Shizuka's anger was gradually suppressed, and then he looked at Haruno with a ferocious face.

"What? Isn't there a better way to deal with that guy?"

(It would be hard to end this if you two weren't sisters!)

"Ah!"

After Hachiman divided the rice into bowls, he sneezed.

Strange, who is thinking about me? It must be that girl Yukinoshita Haruno, just ignore her.

"Just eat in the living room."

After telling Yuna not to take it back to the bedroom and make it all over the place, I came to Yukinoshita with the bowl of rice.

"Not really. We're just eating here."

Perhaps due to her illness, Yukino's face turned red.

Seeing that Yukinoshita's face was red with fever, how could I dare let her go out to eat? She should just stay in bed.

"I left the curry and porridge here. Remember to take your medicine after dinner."

I don't think Yukinoshita would let me watch her eat, because if I did that, not only would she be embarrassed, but I would also be embarrassed to death.

I returned to the living room and found that little Yunai had finished his meal.

"You eat so fast."

However, little Yunai was no longer in the living room. He must have run back to the bedroom.

After arranging things for the mother and daughter, I could finally sit down and enjoy my own dinner.

"Well."

Put the hot curry into your mouth with a spoon, and the mashed potatoes give your mouth a dense and full feeling. On a rainy day with the air conditioner on indoors, this meal can be said to be quite good.

It seems my cooking skills have not deteriorated.

I've eaten a lot of food cooked by Yukinoshita these past few days, and I actually felt that my cooking skills were far from good enough before, but now it seems that they are still acceptable.

As a boy, I naturally ate the curry in big mouthfuls, and then paired it with the slightly thick porridge, and finished my dinner quickly.

After eating and drinking, I went to Yukinoshita's bedroom to take out the tableware.

Yukinoshita was using a spoon to put curry and porridge into her mouth, just like my Kamakura (the cat in the teacher's house)
