A Very Popular Idol Classmate Has Taken a Liking to Me, A Person Who Doesn't Want to Work for W

Act 2 - Summer Break

15-4 

The sausages and vegetables are arranged on a grill placed on top of the coals. I have skewered the chunks of meat on skewers so that they are easy to hold and eat.

The girls, sitting on outdoor chairs, have been watching me working like this since a while ago. It's not that they are in my way or anything, but it's just a little awkward.

Leaving aside a retort of "we are not rascals", the four of us are working together to carry the ingredients to the cooking area outside the cottage.

The meats, including sausages and other such items, are not cheap, but are all well-processed products. Grilling them over a charcoal fire must be delicious.

"Rintaro, grill me a lot of meat." (Rei)

"Hold on, hold on. We haven't even started the fire yet." (Rintaro)

I suppress Rei's urging and prepare charcoals and an igniter.

The actuality is that I've never done the work of lighting a charcoal fire outside like this, so I've been secretly longing to do this.

With my heart racing, and following the fire-starting manual in the cottage, I start to light the fire. It is my first time doing this, so I struggle with it for a while. When I finally succeeded in lighting a decent charcoal fire, I feel a sense of accomplishment run through my entire body.

"......It's kinda making me feel uncomfortable." (Rintaro)

"Sorry, but it's very interesting." (Mia)

"Interesting?" (Rintaro)

What do you mean, talking like a scientist all of a sudden?

What is so interesting about a guy working in silence?

"I mean, I've never had the chance to see you cook in the flesh before. So, it's kinda refreshing." (Mia)

"Aah, what the heck is that. It's not really interesting, though." (Rintaro)

"Even if it is not interesting, yet oddly......I still watch it." (Mia)

That's should be my line――――Well, whatever.

I never think that if I accept this situation easily, I will run out of luck and feel like I will die tomorrow. I'm just worried about Kanon and the girls. I'm serious, okay?

Mia, who had been laughing at this exchange between Kanon and me, opens her mouth in resignation.

"Well, well, don't blame Kanon too much. We're in on this too." (Mia)

"What? Might you guys have mistaken me for a plant or something?" (Rintaro)

"We don't think of you that far, though. I've been told that I'm still a top idol, but I'm a little unsure of myself." (Mia)

"I'm the kind of person who would never make a move if it didn't make sense. I'd rather they say I'm a manly man." (Rintaro)

"Then I feel rather safe. You can put sunscreen on us without feeling guilty." (Rintaro)

"Mm......" (Rintaro)

I feel like I'm being seduced.

"I'm not saying you have to do it to all of us. Just pick one person to put on the sunscreen." (Mia)

"Huuuh...... why don't you guys just put it on each other?" (Rintaro)

"The person you choose here will be sleeping in the same room with you tonight." (Mia)

"Is this a hell?" (Rintaro)

What's with that ultimate choice――――.

I had a walk through the cottage earlier, and there were only two rooms for bedrooms on the second floor.

Two bedrooms with two beds inside. In other words, only two people can sleep in one room.

I know that even putting on sunscreen is agonizing, but to have another step beyond that is more than a reward, it's a punishment.

I try not to worry about it, and proceed with the grilling.

The heat level is not bad. At this rate, the beef would be cooked just right in no time.

"Alright, I guess this is about right." (Rintaro)

I place the cooked meat on each paper plate in turn and add vegetables for garnish.

Some might say, "It's a BBQ, so don't worry about presentation," but as a cook, I want the food to look appetizing visually.

"It's done. The sauce is there, but it's already lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, so it's good just as it is." (Rintaro)

"""Bon appétit."""

"Oh, enjoy." (Rintaro)

The three of them, who appear to have been quite hungry, devour the meats ravenously.

Even though they were simply grilled, it is nice to know that they are so enthusiastic about what I have made.

"Is it good?" (Rintaro)

"Rintaro-kun...... are you sure these are just grilled meats?" (Mia)

"What? Yes, they're." (Rintaro)

"They're cooked just perfectly...... not too soft, not too hard, just right." (Mia)

"Heeh, then I guess the doneness suits Mia." (Rintaro)

"Doneness?" (Mia)

"You know, there's a certain doneness to steak, right? Such as medium and well done." (Rintaro)

Leaving aside a retort of "we are not rascals", the four of us are working together to carry the ingredients to the cooking area outside the cottage.

The meats, including sausages and other such items, are not cheap, but are all well-processed products. Grilling them over a charcoal fire must be delicious.

He use such fashionable words, but the point is the difference between raw and well-done. This is the level of basic knowledge that you will be asked by the waiter whenever you go to a steak restaurant.

"No, I know that, but...... don't tell me you're still trying to cater to our tastes even here?" (Mia)

"What nonsense? Naturally I am." (Rintaro)

"...... I'm amazed." (Mia)

My pride won't allow me to make them eat something tasteless.

In order to make them eat good food, I don't care how much trouble I have to go through.

"If you want something grilled a little differently, don't hesitate to ask me. I can't do anything about the one I just cooked, but I'll use it as a reference from now on." (Rintaro)

"Ah, I prefer it if you cooked it a little more. I don't really like the rarer the doneness." (Kanon)

"Kanon prefers well done. Okka~y, I'll remember." (Rintaro)

Leaving aside a retort of "we are not rascals", the four of us are working together to carry the ingredients to the cooking area outside the cottage.

The meats, including sausages and other such items, are not cheap, but are all well-processed products. Grilling them over a charcoal fire must be delicious.

Well done means that the meat is cooked until it is no longer red inside.

I look at Rei and she shakes her head.

"I like it this way too. Very satisfying." (Rei)

"Rei and Mia prefer medium. Got it." (Rintaro)

Medium is the state of being between rare, which is almost raw, and well-done, which is cooked through, with a slight redness remaining in the center.

With this, it seems like I only need to make a little effort on Kanon's. I said I don't care how much trouble I have to go through, but if it can be cut down even a little, then I'll be more than happy.

"Hey, I've left you to do the grilling all the time, but you also want to have some, don't you, Rintaro? If you do, I'll take over." (Kanon)

"Hmm? I appreciate your concern, but this is something I want to do. Of course, if Kanon wants to take over, I'll change my mind." (Rintaro)

"Well, that's not what I mean....... but if you say so, then I'll leave it to you. I don't think I can do it any better than you." (Kanon)

"That's too much praise." (Rintaro)

"If you're trying to be humble by saying so, then you should drop the smug look on your face......." (Kanon)

Oops, I guess I'm getting carried away with the praise and it's showing on my face.

I feel embarrassed to tell them this, but the reason I have come to enjoy cooking from the bottom of my heart is because they enjoy my food and give me feedback.

The more I think about cooking to make people happy, the more my motivation goes up.

I want people to say it tastes delicious more――――This desire becomes the source of my action before I know it.

"Eat up. I'll grill you as much as I can." (Rintaro)

In a good mood, I put more meat on the grill.

Watching an opportunity, I also eat what I have cooked, and we're all enjoying the BBQ.

I never think that if I accept this situation easily, I will run out of luck and feel like I will die tomorrow. I'm just worried about Kanon and the girls. I'm serious, okay?

Mia, who had been laughing at this exchange between Kanon and me, opens her mouth in resignation.

"Aah! I'm so full! I can't eat any more!" (Kanon)

Kanon's voice echoes in the night sky.

She may want to show that she's full anyway, so she sits down on a chair and pats herself on the stomach.

I wonder if her fans will ever see her like this.

"Thank you, Rintaro. The food was all delicious." (Rei)

"I was confident in my grilling skills, but it all came down to the ingredients you provided. ......Thanks for having me, even though this was a vacation for three of you. That...... was more fun than I thought it would be." (Rintaro)

"......You thought, I'm glad you had a good time." (Rei)

Rei smiles reassuringly.

There is no lie in my words.

I never get bored with them, and even though I had a bad time at beach volleyball, playing a game of penalty among friends was something that had never occurred to me before in my life.

How could it not be fun?

Leaving aside a retort of "we are not rascals", the four of us are working together to carry the ingredients to the cooking area outside the cottage.

"...... Rintaro-kun, I don't think it's fair to wear that expression, you know?" (Mia)

"What? I've been like this since the BBQ started, but today you guys are making too many comments about my face, aren't you?" (Rintaro)

"That's true. Because you're the reason why." (Mia)

"Eee......?" (Rintaro)

I don't know what Mia means by that.

You can't see your own expression unless you are looking in a mirror.

"Well, then. Now that the fun meal is over, let's prep ourselves ready to go to bed. It will be a hassle to have to take a shower right before bed, won't it?" (Mia)

Mia's suggestion seems plausible, and we all agreed.

The time is still just shy of twenty o'clock. We can still enjoy the night. And in order to fully enjoy the time, it is better to finish everything that needs to be done.

"Ri-n-ta-ro?" (Kanon)

"What the hell, Kanon. That's creepy." (Rintaro)

Can't you use a little more subtlety in your cussing?" (Kanon)

Leaving aside a retort of "we are not rascals", the four of us are working together to carry the ingredients to the cooking area outside the cottage.

The meats, including sausages and other such items, are not cheap, but are all well-processed products. Grilling them over a charcoal fire must be delicious.

It can't be helped since the way she called me was creepy.

I have a bad feeling about it, but I urged Kanon to continue.

"You aren't thinking of soaking yourself in our leftover bathwater, are you?" (Kanon)

"Why should I bother myself to soak in hot water with oil oozing out of your skin?" (Rintaro)

"The way you say it! The way you say it!" (Kanon)

Even family members sometimes feel a little uncomfortable with it, so no matter how much national idols they are, it's understandable that they would feel uncomfortable with it.

I have never shared hot water with Rei. In the first place, I don't soak in the bathtub in the summer, so there is no way for me to do so.

Unfortunately, this is no different in this cottage. I will just wash my body and be done with it.

"How about I go in first? Before you put the hot water on." (Rintaro)

"Mmm...... that's a little boring, isn't it?" (Mia)

"Is there such a thing as a boring bath ......?" (Rintaro)

"You see, now that we've got a man and women under one roof, I'd like to see more exciting happenings." (Mia)

Aah, Mia has that look on her face when she's not thinking about anything decent.

I don't need such happenings, so please just let me wash myself leisurely.

"Ah, let's do it this way. Rintaro-kun, I'm going to use the right of order I just got here." (Mia)

"Hey......, what are you gonna order me to do?" (Rintaro)

"Fufufu, I think I'm going to have you stay with me until I finish my bath." (Mia)

With a teasing look on her face, Mia announces.
