I also gave scarves to everyone except Senyuu.
“Yay! Thanks, Souzuke! It’s so warm~”
“Oh, thank you. You were collecting cashmere just now, weren’t you? Hehe, it feels nice.”
“It’s a bit chilly when you ride on Masiro’s back, so I’m happy to have a scarf,” they all said with smiles.
Loa, who was taking turns with Shion to watch the boar bone soup, smiled happily and said, “I will wear it whenever I go outside.”
Seeing them happy, I thought Senyuu was right to give them scarves.
As expected, Dream World was the only one who didn’t immediately accept it.
”…No, I’m fine,” she said, holding back.
I had expected this, so I was prepared with an answer.
“Think of it as a company perk and take it.”
”…Kino, if I keep borrowing so much from you and can’t pay it back, what then?”
Dream World looked a little troubled.
「I don’t plan on collecting, so you don’t have to worry about it.」 「…I’ll definitely pay you back.」
Saying that, Yumika accepted the scarf. 「Got it, got it.」
「And thanks. I hate being cold, so this helps.」
「Seirin, you really do get all bundled up in winter, don’t you?」
「…Shouko, don’t say unnecessary things. If you say stuff like that, Kouya will―」
「I could make some woolen winter gear.」
I gave them all a basic set of clothes, but it wouldn’t be bad to make items tailored to each person.
I gave Roa a maid outfit, and I was planning to give Senyuu a ‘Kashmir Sweater That Kills Virginity’.
「Look, even though we’ve only known each other for a short time, I can already read Kouya’s actions.」
「Souzou Souzou. Well, if I’m going to help, can’t I make some cashmere inner leggings?」
「Leggings are those tight things that women who exercise wear, right?」
When yoga scenes come up in dramas, everyone is wearing those, aren’t they?
「That’s right. The inner leggings are for wearing at home, right? You can layer them comfortably.」
So it’s more for warmth than fashion.
「Yeah. I was planning to make a bunch of stuff in the afternoon, so let’s do it.」
「That’s right, Tsugusa! And Senri, you’re in, right?」
「…Well, I guess. At the very least, I should gather the materials myself.」
「But I’m the one summoning you, so I’ll owe you a favor too?」
「I will, but I owe you a lot of favors in Japan, so I’ll have to settle those first.」 「Eh?」 Shokushi laughs heartily.
Despite their opposite personalities, they get along well.
That’s how they spent the afternoon, each doing their own thing… until evening.
Before the sun completely sets, they prepare a bonfire.
Shion uses multiple hearths to get everything ready.
Roah provides overall support, while Senyuu busies herself making hard-boiled eggs. 「Hmm… Oh, right.」
I decided to do something and started thinking about it in my head.
“Looks like it’s almost ready to eat!”
When Shion’s voice came, I carefully placed it near the three of them, making sure not to get in their way.
“Ah, Souzou-kun? …Is this?”
“Good job, Souzou-kun. It really sets the mood.”
“I am the chef and manager, Shion-sama.”
What I had made was a ramen food cart.
It was a large one, with a counter shaped like a C, so everyone could sit comfortably with plenty of space. I even prepared a curtain.
It read ‘Boar Bone Ramen - Shion’ on it.
“Oh, it’s like something you’d see in a drama!”
”…Yeah, you don’t get to see it that often in real life.”
Sho and Yumika were a bit restless.
I’ve never been to a real ramen food stall, so I get it.
To those who haven’t experienced it, it’s like a kind of fantasy.
They hang lanterns from the roof of the stall to ensure lighting.
The steam floating around and the delicious aroma that stirs up hunger. We all sit down at our seats.
“Hehehe. Welcome. Our menu has soy sauce and miso.”
Shion acts the part with a slightly embarrassed look.
It seems the salt ramen was abandoned due to a lack of seasoning around the rice.
We each order our favorite flavors.
I like both, but I go with soy sauce today.
I had imagined the smell would be stronger than pork bone broth, but it’s surprisingly light.
“Here you go. Soy sauce, one order.” I receive the ramen from Shion.
“Thanks. Wow, this is really authentic!”
The ramen is topped with char siu, a boiled egg, and seaweed.
It’s a shame there’s no bamboo shoots or seaweed sheets, but it’s so beautiful that it doesn’t matter. I take a sip of the soup. ”――――!”
Compared to the clear aroma, the soup is rich and flavorful.
I’m engrossed, using my chopsticks to pull the noodles into my mouth. Zuzu, zuzu, I savor the chewy texture of the noodles and the thick, savory soup. The noodles are gone in no time. “Delicious…!”
“Wow, you’re fast. Hehe, would you like a refill?” ”…Please.” “Sure.”
For now, Shion and Roa are in charge of the kitchen, but I’ll ask to switch later.
They need time to eat too, and I want them to know how good this tastes.
Incidentally, Shiyou, who was in charge of the boiled eggs, sat down next to me after she was done.
“Hey, Shiyou! This is restaurant-quality stuff!”
”…By the way, making ramen from scratch isn’t just for talented high school girls, is it? …Zuzu.”
“It was my first time, so I was nervous, but I’m glad you liked it.”
“I used to just walk past ramen shops in town, but… eating ramen with friends is so delicious.” Shinpo murmured thoughtfully.
Miharu seems to have never made a detour to eat ramen before.
“Minorin! When we go back to Japan, let’s eat lots of ramen! Not just ramen, let’s go have lots of fun too!”
“Eh, thank you. I have a lot of studying to do, so I might not be very sociable, but I’m happy.”
In the end, I ordered three refills, and Shio ordered two.
“Ah, I ate, I ate. The thousand-year-old boiled eggs were delicious, the flavor really soaked in.”
“Mm. …You’re starting to look like an egg specialist. Shio-chan’s cooking skills are so high that I can’t really keep up.”
A blank expression, but she seems a little downcast.
“Shion’s cooking is really delicious, but I also like your cooking, Chiyu.” ”…I know.”
She doesn’t seem entirely displeased, so I guess I managed to smooth things over.
“Sousuke-kun, if you want to eat anything else, just let me know, okay?”
Shion then joined the conversation with a smile.
“I have Sousuke-kun’s stomach wrapped around my finger, no matter what I make.” “H, hehe.” “N, no way.”
It had become a tradition, but once again, sparks flew between my childhood friend and the head chef. ◇ And then, at night.
I tried using the portable shower during my bath, and it had plenty of water and was easy to use.
If I prepared enough for everyone and filled the tub beforehand, it would be possible for multiple people to wash themselves simultaneously, like at a public bath or a hot spring inn.
I could put it on the list of things to buy in the bonus area.
As I was thinking this, the door was knocked on softly. “Ah, ah.” ”…I, I’m coming in.”
The door opened slowly, and there stood Shouko in her uniform.
Her face was bright red, and she was looking down, with her right hand resting on her left elbow.
Because of this, her ample chest was squished into a violent shape, but it was likely an unconscious action.
Today’s turn was the blonde side-tailed gal, Shouko.
She was nice to everyone, regardless of whether she was an otaku or not.
The fact that she came to my room tonight meant…
Like Chiyu and Shion, she had accepted the idea of taking things to the next level with me.
「S-so, t-then, w-well, p-please take care of me…」 Saying that, Shouko looks at me.
