Chapter 38 Encounter

Encounter

——Tonight’s dinner was more luxurious than yesterday’s.

“Thank you for the food. The steak was so delicious.”

What Hana-san served me was a thick steak.

It had a half-price sticker on it, probably because it was about to expire, but it tasted really good.

Maybe it was because of Hana-san’s skillful cooking and I was tired from carrying all the luggage. I was very satisfied with the thickly seasoned steak.

“I’m sorry for the bad taste. I really wanted to make you a more elaborate dish, but it was late.”

“Actually, I’d rather have a steak every day.”

“Araraa. Boys like meat after all…but not every day, okay? I should have a little more time tomorrow, so I’ll make you something more elaborate.”

From Hana-san’s point of view, steak seems to be classified as an easy dish.

She says, (It’s just grilling meat) but I don’t think I could make it this good if I did it the same way.

I wonder if I should learn to cook.

Until now, I had no one to teach me and no desire to look it up myself, so I had given up cooking, but if I ask…Hana-san, maybe she will teach me.

Well, I’ll think about it some other time.

“I’ll put the leftovers in the fridge for tomorrow’s lunch.”

“Thanks…Oh, Hana-san? It’s time to go home, right?”

We went shopping together, cooked dinner, finished eating——and it was after 22:00.

“Yeah, I know…Hmm, I would’ve liked to have a little more fun with Takumi-kun, but that’s too bad.”

“I’m glad to hear that. See you tomorrow, please.”

With that, I picked up the bag of groceries for the Itsumi family that Hana-san had bought at the supermarket.

“It’s heavy, so I’ll carry it to the front door.”

“Are you sure? Takumi-kun, you are so kind…Thank you.”

It’s too much to say that I’m so kind.

It was just a small consideration, but it was enough to make Hana-san happy.

“Yoosh…”

At the entrance, after putting down the bag, I bent down to put on my shoes. Hana-san had already put on her shoes and was waiting for me right in front of me.

“I’ll pat you as a thank you. Yoshi-yoshi.”

“It’s, it’s embarrassing.”

Maybe because I was sitting down, Hana-san took the opportunity to pat my head. The act itself makes me happy, but it’s still embarrassing to be treated like a little kid in high school.

But Hana-san doesn’t care at all.

“Ufufu~ I should hug you while you’re at it…”

“Tey, I’m doing it! I’m already doing it!”

She hugged me as tightly as she could, and my face was buried in her br🬀🬀sts.

The soft feeling through her thin shirt is even more sensual than Ichika’s and makes me nervous.

Please don’t give me any unexpected skinship. My heart was startled.

“Takumi-kun is so cute, I’m tempted to take care of him.”

“But please be more careful.”

“But you wouldn’t think anything of being hugged by Auntie, would you?”

“You can’t call yourself Auntie with a face like that, can you?”

After all that suffering.

During such a conversation…I carried the luggage out the front door to the house next door.

It was a good walk that took less than a minute.

I don’t care if anyone sees me because this won’t take long.

That’s why I was so careless.

“Oi——what the hell are you doing?”

A voice shouted from behind me.

The voice was filled with anger and trembling, but it was the familiar voice of that guy.

“Takeshi…?”

I look back with a huff.

There he was…looking at me with murderous eyes, Takeshi——
