53 53 Promise to the Angel (1/2)

If I bought the ingredients asked for at the supermarket and went home, I'd already be sitting on the couch waiting at midday at the house around the corner.

It's quite a sight to see and as usual, but if not, midday is holding the cushion and knees on the couch.

It looks like the posture a child takes when he is stubborn, but with the expression of disgrace rather than being stubborn, Zhou also has trouble doing things with his eyes because of his cuteness.

It was a long skirt and Zhou turned a subtle blind eye. Once he went to put ingredients in the fridge and went back to the living room, there was midday to peek at this one.

I looked to the side as I sat next to him and subtly midday was distracting me.

”Midday, thanks for yesterday. It was good.”

”... that's good”

I know you probably care about yesterday, but I should say thank you, so to be honest, I buried my face in the cushion about half way through the middle of the day.

”What do you want in return?

I didn't mean to give it back.

”I know that, but I knew I should return my sincerity, right? What's left of it is that men get rid of it.”

As for the circumference of the creed that I should give back what I received, I am not going to give up what I deserve because I was bothered to make something so delicious.

They haven't given it to the boys first, and they seem to have made it according to Zhou's taste, so it should be a hassle.

”... because I get a lot from Zhou-kun”

”I think I'm just getting better at it. You're always cooking for me, and you're just making me look after you.”

”That's what I like to do.... Zhou-kun doesn't realize that maybe he did this to you. But I'm getting it, that's fine.”

As for Zhou, I gave him something in the middle of the day, and I don't think there's anything going on. I'd rather give it back because I'm still getting it, but it doesn't seem like it for midday.

”But that's it, this is this. … well, I'll think of something you might like.”

Even if Zhou was unconsciously giving something, that and White Day's payback would be another thing.

It is a kind of courtesy and indispensable that I return it to White Day because I got chocolate for Valentine's Day.

I'm not going to give in, and when I stared at midday, he nodded while subtly letting his gaze wander ”... yes”.

”In the meantime, I have a month or so to think about what to give. I hope I can find something I might like.”

”... can you afford it? Next week, I'll finish the year-end exam, and in a little while, it's a closing ceremony.”

Point out that midday was slightly frightening, but the end-of-school examination does begin next week.

There was a Valentine's aftertaste all over school today, but it would be time to move on to the tingling mood before the exam.

As for Zhou, it may not be particularly urgent.

”The examination can definitely be advanced if we do as usual, and I'm not in any hurry now. It'll be the same at midday.”

”Right, because affordable initiatives are important”

I take my studies very seriously, so I rarely have any problems with the exams.

I think I can maintain my usual grades without rushing to study, and I've actually done so. Precisely a little longer than usual before the test.

They're ahead of class content in the first place at midday. They're the same type that doesn't need a preview review, so I don't even see a rush. Wouldn't it be easier for her to have an exam with an early schedule?

”Don't expect me to wait.”

”... Yes. I'll take care of everything Zhou-kun gave me.”

”Such a big deal.”

”Kuma also takes good care of you”

Apparently, he also takes care of Kuma's stuffed animal, which he sent for his birthday.
