The arrogant young lady in the class works as a maid in my house

After entering the entrance, Ji No took off her coat, revealing her usual black and white maid outfit. She then put on a white lace headband, transforming into a maid who looked adorable no matter how you looked at her.

At the same time, Jinai turned on the switch.

"Please give me your guidance today, Master."

The cold tone just now disappeared without a trace, and her polite and courteous behavior truly showed that of a maid who was dedicated to serving.

"Oh, okay. Thank you for your help."

"Then I'll start cleaning as usual."

Jinai walked into the house, walked down the corridor and headed towards the living room. Then she picked up the mop and began to carefully clean the living room floor.

(Huh? Weird? What on earth is going on?)

Himeno is angry...that's what she should be, but why is she so polite?

(Is it because she keeps her personal and public life separate? Or is she just so angry that she's acting like this? Oh, I don't know! I can't figure out her thoughts, and it's even scarier!)

Jino finished cleaning quickly and said she would start preparing lunch.

While checking the ingredients in the refrigerator, she asked Shinnosuke:

"What do you want to eat today?"

“Well…”

Jino is no longer the same as she was at the beginning. Now she can make several kinds of dishes.

In that case, I'll ask her to cook something I haven't tried before...

Thinking of this, Shinnosuke suddenly remembered what she made in cooking class at school.

"By the way, everyone praised your omurice in cooking class."

"It's all thanks to you."

"A lot of boys have said they want to eat the food you cook. Especially Kitaoji."

"yes."

"You can cook it for him."

"I do not want."

"why?"

"I don't want to cook for anyone other than Shinnosuke-san."

"But... I'm asking you to do this part-time job, so cooking is part of your job."

"No, it's not like that... ahem."

For some reason, Jinai put her fist to her mouth and deliberately cleared her throat.

"Are you okay? Is your throat sore?"

"Nothing. By the way, what would you like for lunch today?"

"Oh, right. Then I want to eat omurice."

"But the secret to making omurice was taught to me by Shinnosuke-san. You should know how it tastes, right?"

"Yeah. But I want to eat the omurice you made for me."

Shinnosuke inexplicably wanted to eat the omurice made by Himeno.

He wasn't sure why, but it might have been because he saw everyone praising this dish during the cooking class.

"Oh, I see. As you say. Then please rest and wait for a while."

After saying this, Himeno walked towards the kitchen. For some reason, she suddenly stopped halfway and smiled at Shinnosuke.

"If you want, Shinnosuke-san, I can cook for you during my free time. Just let me know anytime."

“Eh…?”

Himeno just walked into the kitchen, leaving Shinnosuke confused.

Speaking of which, Shinnosuke remembered that Himeno prepared a lunch box for him every day.

It was only at Shinnosuke's insistence that he finally paid her for her part-time work. But at first, Himeno insisted on not accepting any part-time work fees.

"But she said it was for cooking practice."

And what Jino said just now didn't seem to be about practicing cooking.

(So ​​why does she cook?)

No matter how much Shinnosuke thought about it, he still had no idea.

Soon, Himeno brought the omurice into the dining room.

She gently placed her plate down in front of Shinnosuke's seat. The whole room was filled with the aroma of ketchup fried rice. However, the omelet rice didn't have ketchup on the omelet.

And for some reason, Hime had ketchup in her hand.

"Mr. Shinnosuke, I'm going to draw with ketchup next. What pattern would you like?"

"Eh...? You're asking me that..."

Oh, by the way, I used to... Shinnosuke recalled the past.

I once asked Hime to draw with ketchup and cast a spell with the "Delicious Spell," but she frowned in surprise and said, "What? What is that?"

Strangely enough, however, she seemed willing to draw for me with ketchup today.

Shinnosuke was puzzled by her change of heart.

"So, Mr. Shinnosuke, do you like cat designs?"

"cat?"

"Yes. I love cats the most."

"I see."

Shinnosuke was actually a bit afraid of cats. A cat had scratched him severely when he was a child, leaving him with a bit of a scar, and the mere sight of a cat made him afraid.

But if it's just drawing with ketchup, then of course it's totally fine. And since Himeno said she loves cats, I can't possibly reject her on purpose, Shinnosuke thought to himself.

"Then please draw a cat for me."

"Okay, as you command."

Himeno holds the ketchup in both hands and skillfully draws a cat on the omelet rice. Finally, she finishes by adding the whiskers, which looks very cute.

"I'm done."

"That's amazing. You draw really well, Nishikawa."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Jino held out a hand and imitated the cat's movements.

The beautiful girl in a maid outfit imitated the movements of a cat, which was simply invincible. Seeing her so cute, Shinnosuke was stunned.

"Then I'll cast another delicious spell."

“Eh…?”

Shinnosuke had never expected that she would even be willing to provide spell services today.

"Uh... that... um... make it delicious!"

Himeno was extremely shy, but she still tried her best to chant the spell to make the food delicious.

"Thank you."

"Please enjoy your meal."

Perhaps because of the spell, Jino was very embarrassed. Not only her cheeks, but also her ears and neck were red, like a ripe tomato.

"Oh, if you're so embarrassed, you don't have to use the spell to make the food delicious!"

In fact, since Himeno had refused these requests last time, Shinnosuke was confused as to why she was suddenly willing to do it this time.

"No, that's fine. I came here prepared to provide additional services."

"Why are you prepared to provide me with extra services?"

Not to mention providing additional services, Shinnosuke originally thought that Himeno would be angry and treat him coldly. So this situation made him even more confused.

"Um... because I said something rude during gym class earlier, so I want to apologize to you."

"Eh...? An apology?"

Shinnosuke had always thought that Himeno was angry about that incident, but it seemed that was not the case.

"Yes. Shinnosuke-san got hit hard in the face by the ball..."

"No, that reminds me of embarrassing situations. Don't say that."

"Because of that, you looked really depressed. So I was actually worried about you, but I ended up blurting out something like 'How stupid'..."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"Yes."

"So that's what you said against your will?"

"No... I blurted it out because Shinnosuke-san kept staring at Minamikaze-san's breasts."

“Ah! So that’s how it is!”

"Yes."

“S-Sorry!”

Shinnosuke clasped his hands together in front of his face and without thinking, bowed his head deeply in apology.

"Ah, don't be like that. I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried about you. And I really feel that I said something rude to you, so I'm really sorry."

"Nishikawa..."

Jino's attitude was very sincere, and one could feel that what she said was not a lie.

"Thank you."

Himeno's feelings deeply touched Shinnosuke's heart.

He almost couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and quickly put the omelet rice into his mouth with a spoon to hide it.

The taste was even better than the last time. Shinnosuke actually thought that it was because Himeno had put so much thought into the seasoning.

"Mmm, delicious!"

"Very good."

Jino narrowed her eyes happily.

Since she wasn't one to express her emotions clearly, she didn't look particularly happy, but judging by her usual personality, she must have been quite content.

"Then I'll go clean up. Please enjoy your meal."

Jino went back to the kitchen with her slippers making a clicking sound.

Shinnosuke looked at her cute back and thought:

(We feel like newlyweds...)

This thought suddenly occurred to me, and then—

(No, no, I'm just overthinking.)

He quickly dismissed the idea.

*

After finishing the meal, Shinnosuke took the used plates to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry you had to go get it. I could have gone and gotten it myself."

"It's okay, I can handle this little thing myself. It would be embarrassing to leave all the small things to you."

"Oh, you're so gentle."

Shinnosuke's heart was moved when he saw Himeno saying this with narrowed eyes.
