A Man Who Cooks For Himself And A High School Girl (WN)

48th Meal

Highschool Girls and Sleepover Part 4

“AHAHAHA!! You were afraid that Aki was going to take ‘Onii-san’ away from you, so you were in a hurry to go back here with her?”

“Y-You’re wrong…”

Yukiho giggles when she hears about the incident at the bicycle parking lot, and Mahiru's lips stuttered as she holds a paper cup of orange juice in her hand.
Seeing this, her friend, who’s the mastermind of the incident, smiles wryly and says—

“She’s so cute, you know~? ‘A-Aki-chan!!!’ she said so with a red face and tried to pull me off away from hi–ouch!! W-Why did you hit me, Hiyori~?”

“You’re overdoing it.
Don’t tease Hima like that.”

“What's wrong with that~? It’s not like Mahiru’s angry, right? Mahiru?”

“I-I’m not angry…I’m really not…!”

“…Huh? is she perhaps quite angry…?”

Seeing Mahiru holding her knees on the bed, Aki broke into a cold sweat and turned to her parent(Hiyori).
She then clenched both fists once firmly, and then extended the thumb, index, and middle fingers of her left fist in turn.

In other words, Mahiru is about 3 out of 10 mad at this moment.
Probably, her anger at this morning's messy room incident was around “4” or “5,” which means she’s in a slightly bad mood.

“Eh~ I’m sorry, Mahiru~ It was just a little prank~”

Saying so, Aki hugged Mahiru, who was in the bed.

“Please don’t get mad at me, okay~? I didn't think Mahiru would be that jealous~”

“Wha–!? I-I’m not jealous! I-I just…don’t like it how Aki-chan seemed to be getting along with Onii-san…”

“Isn’t that what you call being jealous?”

“I’m not! And keep quiet, Yukiho-chan!”

“Why did I get scolded…”

While the bespectacled girl reaches for the potato chips spread on the table with a look that says, “I don’t care anymore~” on her face.
Then Aki, who’s hugging Mahiru, pats her head fondly and said,

“Don’t worry about it~ I’m not interested in Mahiru’s ‘Onii-san.’ I don’t really like his face, and he’s not cool…”

“…!? N-Not cool!? Don’t say bad things about Onii-san!”

“Ah, she doesn’t like it when you criticize him like that.”

“Eh~ I mean, Aoi-san was definitely better looking than him…Right~Yukio~?”

“Aki’s ri—”

“Yukiho, be quiet!”

“Isn't my opinion too weak in this room…?”

While the glasses girl poured a new soft drink into her own paper cup, Aki turned to Hiyori, saying, “Well~”

“What about Hiyori~? Which do you think is better looking, Onii-san or Aoi-san~?”

“Ehh…?”

“I'm sure it's Aoi-san, right~? Mahiru's taste is weird, isn't it~?”

“That's not true! Aoba-san is certainly good-looking, but that….Anyway, It’s Onii-san right, Hiyori-chan!?”

By “That,” she meant the gender of Aoba Aoi, who’s a good-looking college student.
Although Aki and Yukiho didn’t know it, or rather, they were deceived by Aoba herself, she is in fact a woman.
However, gender does not matter much in the comparison of good looks.

Hiyori thought for a moment while her friends came closer to her as if expecting an answer—and said,

“I don't know, neither of them is my type at all.”

“……”

“Wow~ what a way to end it like that~”

“Hiyori is really like that…”

“W-What the heck…? You guys asked, so I answered.”

Hiyori looks embarrassed at her friends, who seem to be somewhat taken aback by her relentless answers.
Aki giggled happily at the sight of her.

“I love it when we talk like this.
It's so ‘Girlie’~”

“That’s true, we usually don’t talk about things like this…”

“Un~~~ So Mahiru, love Onii-san to the fullest extent from now on, okay~?”

“Lo—!? I-I wouldn’t do that! I mean, what do you mean 'from now on!’ I've never done that before!”

Mahiru, who easily turned red, turned her face away but was unable to move because of Aki, who was still hugging her.

“Well~ Well~ Yukio is like that, and Hiyori's face is so scary that boys won't come near her…That means, the only people I can imagine having a real relationship with are Mahiru and me, you know?”

“What do you mean by ‘Is like that!?’”

“Who’re you calling a scary…?”

“Kyaa~! Help me, Mahiru~! Those scary ladies are attacking me~!”

“W-Wait, you guys! Stop flailing around on the bed!”

While warning her friends who are joking around with each other, Mahiru secretly smiles at them.
She thought that it was fun to spend time with them, who she had known since junior high school.

“Speaking of which, what do you guys want to eat for dinner? Shall we go to that family restaurant somewhere here?”

“Wait a minute~ I have a better idea~ Hey~ Mahiru~?”

“Eh…?”

…And because they have known each other for so long, the high school girl had a bad feeling about the nasty grin of the easy-going girl.
