Chapter 134: The Quartet’s Dinner (2/2)

“Whatever.”

What are you saying now. We aren’t engaged, let alone married. So he thought, but typically speaking, no high school couple would actually meet each other’s parents, and Amane could not deny it completely.

Leaving her aside, Amane ate the fried egg roll in his Japanese set meal. Chitose gave a look of pity as she never got to tease him.

He ignored her as he chewed at the egg roll, but did not find it addictive. It tasted very normal unlike Mahiru’s, and not really delicious.

I guess Mahiru’s cooking is the best, he thought to himself, looked over at Mahiru, and found her slightly bashful.

Perhaps it was the ‘wife’ part that embarrassed her.

“Shiina-san, you’re going to Amane’s hometown? …I guess Shihoko-san will be happy.”

“Akazawa-san, you know Shihoko-san?”

“No, I just heard of her…and understood her the moment Amane described her.”

“My mom has quite the personality…and you probably think she resembles someone.”

It appeared that Itsuki immediately deduced that Shihoko was like Chitose. Surely Chitose and Shihoko would get along really well if they met.

“Hm, what what~”

“Well, we’re saying you’re cute, Chii.”

Itsuki nonchalantly dodged the issue and praised her. “Ikkun, serious~” Chitose looked completely satisfied.

“Ah right, Amane, hurry up and tell me when you’re going back. I want to go out and play with Mahirun before you two leave.”

“Sure sure sure. Probably in August. Have fun then…also, do your assignments.”

“Why are you sounding like my mom~!?”

“Isn’t it because you complained last year, “I can’t finish my assignments~!”…”

Chitose probably was the type to dither her assignments until the last moment, and last summer, she only began in a panic when the vacation was ending.

Amane was already done with his assignments, and so was Mahiru. They would continue with their revision.

“I don’t wanna do it though…oh yeah, I can get the Angel to teach me.”

“I may, but I will not if you keep calling me Angel.”

“How strict. I like the cold hearted Mahirun though.”

Mahiru and Chitose were able to converse easily, and Amane felt some relief as he ate his food before it got cold.

He did not find outside food delicious, for he probably was completely used to Mahiru’s cooking.

“Mahirun, I want some fried egg rolls tomorrow.”

Amane muttered to Mahiru, who was next to him, and she looked towards the tray before him.

“Are you not eating it?”

“This is no good. Something’s missing. Yours is the best.”

“Fufu, I really have to hand it to you. I shall make breakfast and wake you up then.”

“Okay.”

It was summer vacation, and Amane could not wake up early, so it was great that Mahiru would wake him up.

It would be bad for his heart to see Mahiru’s face immediately after waking up, but it surely was the best alarm clock.

Amane was excited, for he discreet looked forward to the next day’s breakfast. Itsuki stared at him dumbfoundedly.

“A couple already staying together…”

“Shut up.”

Half-staying together, he did not comment as he quietly drank the somewhat cooled miso soup.
