Chapter 51: Your Turn To ‘Ahhhh’

“Let me see it for a second, I’ll do it!”

“No! Mizuna will do it, Mizuna will do it!”

After getting dressed, when Yuuki came back into the living room, he heard Yui and Mizuna fighting over the game controller in front of the TV.

He thought they were playing against each other again, but it seemed they were bickering and playing a singleplayer game together.

At the start, Yui was playing the role of an older sister, but her true colors were already coming out. It is said that when sister attributes clash with each other, it turns out like this.

“Ahhh, we fell again! Mou~ Yui-chan sucks!”

“No, I definitely pushed jump right there! This old guy’s in this rebellious period!”

Yuuki thought the two of them were foul-mouthed as he opened the fridge.

He was thinking of having ham and eggs on toast, but there were no eggs.

(Then, I’ll use jam instead)… but when he picked up the jar of strawberry jam, he found that almost all of it was used, perhaps by Mizuna. It should have been more than half full.

It was a terrible thing to do, leaving only a little bit.

He took the things out of the fridge and sat down at the table to see if he could just throw the ham and bread into his mouth since he didn’t want to think about it anymore.

“Yuuki-kun, wait a minute!”

Suddenly, someone told him to wait.

Yui, who stopped the game, grabbed her handbag from the corner of the sofa and came to the table.

“I know it’s a bit early, but let’s have lunch.”

She said something like that out of the blue, but they didn’t have anything to cook with.

As Yuuki was confused, Yui pulled out a bento and Tupperware box from her bag and laid them out on the table.

“Zuyazuya1~~! It’s a bento!”

Yui opened her palms toward the bento box.

When Mizuna heard the word ‘bento’, she threw away her game and came running.

“Ohhhhhhhhh bentooooooooo!!”

“This one’s for you, Mizuna-chan.”

As soon as Yui opened the lid, Mizuna got in the chair.

She pointed to it with wide eyes.

“Ah, there’s an octopus-shaped wiener! You’re alive?!”

“They’re all skewered with toothpicks.”

“That’s not the case. Octopus-san, how many years has it been?”

“Uh, well…”

“Mmmm, that reaction… You’ve been eating them and keeping it secret from Mizuna!”

“No, you can eat and make at least that much.”

“I’m telling you it’s not like that!”

Mizuna, who pushed Yuuki away, brought her face closer to the bento box.

“Ohhhh tamagoyakiiii! Karageeee!!”2

She screamed when she saw all of the side dishes.

Behind Mizuna, Yui was laughing.

“I cut some corners, but I focused on quantity over quality to have enough for everyone.”

“It’s fine, it looks better than what Yuuki-kun makes!”

Traitor.

Well, Yuuki couldn’t really object to it, though.

The bento box contained three side dishes, while the Tupperware was neatly packed with onigiri.

In terms of the side dishes, it was inferior to the lunch Yui gave him the other day, but it would be a lot more work to prepare this many of them.

Yuuki looked up at Yui’s face again and thanks her.

“Thank you Yui, for taking the trouble to make this for us.”

“Well, I was wondering if Yuuki-kun has a hard time preparing lunch every day…”

Yui scratched her head and laughed shyly.

While Yuuki stared at her, not knowing what to do, Mizuna pulled on Yui’s arm from the side.

“Hey, hey, can I eat? Can I start eating?”

“…Ah, yeah. Go ahead. Eat up.”

As soon as she received permission, Mizuna reached out her hand with a shout of joy and stuffed the octopus-shaped wiener she’s been eyeing down her mouth.

Yuuki also stopped chewing on his bed and picked up an onigiri from the Tupperware. Thank you, Yui.

“Yummyyyyyyyy!!”

“Eat quietly.”

“You should be the one doing ‘ahhhh’ to Yui, instead of eating quietly.”

“Eh? Why?”

“Why?! Isn’t it obvious? You guys are dating!”

According to Mizuna, if they were dating, that was an obvious thing.

Speaking of which, Yuuki remembered that they were supposed to be dating. He took an octopus-shaped wiener and brought it in front of Yui’s face.

“Then, Yui, ahhh.”

However, Yui didn’t make even the slightest movement. She just stared at him and looked like she wanted to say something.

There was no sign of her biting.

“What’s wrong?”

“…Yuuki-kun is strong, huh?”

“Strong?”

“No, maybe I’m shy…”

Yui, who said that, made a delicate expression that seemed like she was embarrassed and amazed.

Yuuki did the same with Mizuna sometimes, so he didn’t know if she just had low resistance.

“I do it for Mizuna a lot.”

“That kind of problem? You’re doing a lot…”

“Fuu…. Yuuki-kun, go over Mizuna’s corspe!”

“You aren’t dead though.”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“It doesn’t mean that to foreigners!”

“So that’s what you mean.”

Mizuna said as much as she wanted to, and with a toothpick, she bit into both a tamagoyaki and karaage.

He wondered if Yui was worried about the look in Mizuna’s eyes. Yui had a chance to eat the wiener.

“Ah, you ate it. Yay.”

“…Why are you acting like you fed an animal?”

Yui mumbled something, but shyly looked away.

Mizuna stretched out her neck and looked at Yui’s face.

“How is it? Is it delicious, Yui-chan?”

“Y-yeah, it’s tasty…”

“Yay Yuuki-kun! It’s the power of love!”

“It’s the power of Yui’s cooking.”

It’s not as if it tasted bad without love.

As expected, Yui Li blurted out with a somewhat uncomprehending look on her face.

“I just said something that I made myself was tasty…”

“You’re a bragger.”

“Well, it really is delicious!”

Yui puffed out her chest and reasserted herself.

“Next time, it’s Yui-chan’s turn to do ‘Ahhh’! Get ready, Yuuki-kun!”

“Alright, come at me.”

“…It feels like I’m the only one being punished.”

“It’s fine, it’s Mizuna’s turn now!”

While saying that, Mizuna waited with an onigiri in her hand.

After that, the battle of feeding each other continued for a while.

_______________________________________________________________

In the blink of an eye, Yui’s bento box became empty.

Mizuna leaned back in her chair, patting her stomach. She looked satisfied.

Once he looked at the clock, Yuuki urged Yui, who finished putting away the bento box next to him, to get up.

“Let’s go in a bit.”

“Where are Yuuki-kun and Yui-chan going?”

“We’re gonna study at the library.”

“Have a good time.”

Mizuna, who seemed to be following them, quickly made a U-turn and returned to the sofa to watch TV.

However, it made Yuuki uneasy to leave Mizuna alone as it was.

“See you later, Mizuna-chan!”

“Yeah! Come back anytime!”

“Make sure you study properly, Mizuna.”

“When this is over!”

Mizuna gave him a thumbs up with a remote control in hand.

She wanted to watch a foreign movie.

Mizuna had begged their father to sign up for a video streaming service.

He wanted to complain one more time, but Yuuki also had a plan for the future.

He couldn’t slack off anymore, so he left home with Yui.

1 Yui’s making a sound effect like she’s unveiling something. I don’t know much about Japanese onomatopoeia(?) so I directly translated it from hiragana. If someone wants to more clearly explain ずやずや down in the comments, feel free to

2 Tamagoyaki = Japanese rolled omelet

Karage = Japanese deep fried food, typically chicken
