Me and Sara stood side by side in the kitchen.

 

“Nii-San, what should I do?”

 

“Well, let’s see. I would like you to peel the vegetables.”

 

“I understand!”

 

Then, I went to the refrigerator and took out the vegetables for the curry.

 

“There’s a peeler in there, use it. Be careful with your hands.”

 

“Hai!”

 

Sara skillfully peeled the vegetables.

 

In the meantime, I prepared the cutting boards, knives, pots and pans, and other tools for cooking.

 

“Nii-San, I am done peeling.”

 

“Oh, thank you. I’ll do the cutting, till then you can light the fire and heat up the pot.”

 

“Hai!”

 

With that, I skillfully began to cut the vegetables.

 

When I finished cutting the vegetables, I started cutting the chicken.

 

“Nii-San, the pot is getting warm.”

 

“Okay.”

 

I put some oil in the pot and tossed the onions in first.

 

When it started to turn golden brown, I added the chicken, vegetables and fried them.

 

“Sara, turn down the heat.”

 

“Hai!”

 

一Once it was cooked through, I added water and waited for it to boil.

 

“I think I’ll stick with medium heat. I’ll be free for a while.”

 

“Hai. You’ve been doing this every day, haven’t you?”

 

“Well, it didn’t take long at all.”

 

As we were talking, the water started to boil.

 

From there, I continued to simmer for another 10 minutes.

 

“I’ll turn off the heat.”

 

After letting it simmer for a while, I turned off the heat and added the curry roux.

 

“All right, let it simmer for a while longer, =then it will be done.”

 

“Oh, it’s almost ready!”

 

Normally, I would cook alone and quietly, but cooking with Sara was a lot more fun.

 

“It’s done!”

 

A few minutes later, the curry was ready.

 

At about the same time, I heard the sound of rice being cooked.

 

“The rice seemed to have finished cooking. Do you want to eat it now?”

 

“No, I can wait a little longer.”

 

“Well, let’s take a break.”

 

They made sure that the pot was removed from the heat, and moved to the living room sofa.

 

Sara turned on the TV.

 

There was an anime playing.

 

“I didn’t know this show airs at this time.”

 

“This is also the anime where you are in charge of writing the characters.”

 

“Oh, really?”

 

“Yes, the official announcement was made yesterday. Nii-san’s name is also on it.”

 

Sara then pointed at the screen of her phone.

 

“It’s really on there. I haven’t heard anything from the editor in charge.”

 

Incidentally, ‘Rei’ was Haruki’s pseudonym.

 

“So your name is Rei, right?”

 

Sara smirked. (TLN: Would kill to see her smirking)

 

“Well, It’s not particularly fancy, right?”

 

“I think it’s cool.”

 

“Oh, yeah. Thanks.”

 

I also opened Twitter on my phone and saw that I had a lot of messages.

 

“Oh, they really announced it.”

 

Just then, I received a message from Odagiri-san.

 

 

I guessed that she must be very busy, because her reply was three days late.
