Love Comes After Learning

"Very skilled."

I don't know if it was unintentional, Mafuyu Kirisu asked casually.

Asada stood beside her, helping her wash the used kitchen utensils.

"For whom do you read home cooking recipes, I practice how to tie hair for whom."

"..." Mafuyu Kirisu blushed silently, pursed her lips, and slapped the meatloaf a little harder.

With her efforts, half an hour later, the fried hamburger steak, cheese hibiscus eggs, and shredded pork with green peppers were brought to the table, emitting a pleasant aroma.

"Success..." Kirisu Mafuyu tried the taste, his eyes lit up immediately, and he waved his fists excitedly uncontrollably.

Looking up, she showed a bright happy smile to him beside him.

"Successful! Very ordinary and delicious!"

"Well, well done."

Asada nodded tenderly, wiped off the sweat on her smooth forehead with her sleeve, and then gently pushed her shoulder.

"Go and rest, I'll do the rest."

"Okay..." Kirisu Mafuyu was overjoyed, and then remembered what he had just done, and how ambiguous the interaction with him was.

His body was slightly stiff, and the base of his ears flushed like drunk again, but he didn't feel any unpleasant feeling.

On the contrary, there is still a kind of sweet warmth...

"Hugh, rest! You do your own thing, leave me alone!"

Quickly put away the shaking expression, turned around in his funny eyes, and stepped into the living room as if fleeing.

A giant panda doll was sitting innocently on the bed, and Kirisu Mafuyu glanced behind him quietly to confirm that the moment he started to concentrate on cooking, he suddenly buried his face in the fat panda's belly and rubbed it hard.

...The face is so hot, it must be because the heater is too strong.

"By the way... the teacher and the student get together alone at night, no matter how you think about it, it's not good..."

Now that I think about it, without Miharu, it means that I am alone with Asada, who is still a senior in high school...

It would be fine if it was dawn, anyway, every time he came to his house, there was a high probability that there would be only the two of them in the house. She had already gotten used to his presence before she knew it, and there was nothing embarrassing about getting along with him.

But now the sky is dark, the wind is cold outside, and the house is quiet and warm. Countless couples will seek each other's warmth on this night...

However, Kirisu Mafuyu didn't expect it to be so deep at all, she just frowned and thought for a while, then nodded in relief.

"Send him back after celebrating his birthday."

After planning this way, I don't feel nervous and charming anymore.

Feeling suddenly relieved, and away from the warm panda, Kirisu Mafuyu began to arrange the dishes.

He often comes here to eat, and he has his own bowls, chopsticks and cups.

About half an hour later, in addition to the original three dishes, there were fried chicken nuggets, french fries, pasta and other common food at banquets on the table.

Although the portions are not large, but because of the variety of them, once they are placed on the small round table, it looks like a lively banquet.

"Well, logically speaking, we should buy pizza, fast food, and sushi to celebrate, right? It's the first time I've seen it by myself."

Asada sat opposite Kirisu Mafuyu and said casually.

"Excessive." Tongsu Mafuyu looked pale, took a sip from the teacup, "No one stipulates that you must eat those things on your birthday. It's better to be healthy."

"I think so too." Asada nodded, looking at the mature woman in rustic sportswear in front of her, she couldn't help but smile.

Being stared at by him so straightly, Kirisu Mafuyu always felt that the tea suddenly faded, and felt a little strangely awkward in his heart, so he couldn't help frowning and put down the teacup.

"why are you laughing?"

Asada sighed slightly: "I don't know when, this place seems to have become my second home."

Kirisu Mafuyu was stunned for a moment, staring at his expression that didn't seem to be fake, after a long silence, he pursed his lips and said softly.

"...It's not impossible for you to think so."

Asada lowered her gaze, and before she could take it back, she picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and said in a warm voice.

"Let's eat, Mafuyu-sensei."

"……Um."

Kirisu Mafuyu let go of his messy thoughts, his expression returned to calm, he closed his eyes slightly and spoke at the same time as him.

"I'm gonna start now."

Then, the slight sound of tableware colliding rang out in the quiet night.

After a full meal, the two of them cleaned up the dishes, soaked the empty tableware in the sink, and covered the unfinished tableware with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator.

After Kirisu Mafuyu wiped the table clean, Asada suddenly took out the cake from under the bed and put it on the table.

"...Why is it under the bed?"

"Surprise." He calmly opened the package, inserted a candle, and took out a match to light it.

"..." Kirisu Mafuyu remained silent, and glanced at him complicatedly.

The guy who said he would help her prepare the cake and told her not to buy more, actually hid the cake under the bed as a surprise?

Forget it, I should have gotten used to this unexpected place long ago...

"Okay, Teacher Kirisu, let's make a wish."

Asada stepped aside, and smiled and asked her to come forward.

"Ceremony. There was no candle blowing last year..." Kirisu Mafuyu sighed, moved his upturned buttocks, and sat in front of the cake.

Then she realized that the cake was not inserted with a number candle showing her age, but the words "Mafuyu" and a pink love heart.

Kirisu Mafuyu glanced coldly, Asada spread his hands with a smile, and said with a sense of contentment.

"Oh~ Fortunately, Mafuyu-sensei's name is not complicated, and the merchant who ordered the candles is relieved~"

"call!"

She decisively blew out the three small flames on the candle, then picked up the knife self-consciously, and divided the birthday cake that had been on the table for less than five minutes.

Asada knew that this was revenge for him blowing his ears just now, and his candle surprise didn't have any effect, and he didn't see any touch on that glamorous and pretty face.

But he didn't care, he laughed and took the cut cake from Kirisu Mafuyu with a happy face.

The birthday party of the two was much quieter than last year, but it was not dull at all.

"Want to watch TV?"

"If you're afraid of being quiet, just drive."

"It's suitable. The atmosphere is very good now."

"Hmm, I think so too."

"...I take back what I just said."

Mafuyu Kirisu turned on the TV, but neither of them paid attention to the TV, they chatted one after another along with the variety show that was tuned down.

After the cake was eaten and cleaned up, Asada handed her the gift of Miharu Kirisu, urging her to open it quickly.

Mafuyu Kirisu's expression was a bit embarrassed, because last year, the birthday gift from his over-enthusiastic biological sister was a doll that looked similar to himself... I don't know what kind of scary thing this year will be.

Even though she was a little shy, since it was her sister's kindness, she still opened the outer packaging and took out the things in the cardboard box.

"This, this is..."

The icy blue eyes widened in astonishment, Kirisu Mafuyu spread out the clothes in his hands, and was speechless for a while.

It was a "dress" that looked sexy and slim, with rhinestones glittering on the crystal blue fabric, a sexy and dignified "dress".

Mafuyu Kirisu knew very well that this was neither an outing suit nor a sexy costume...it was a figure skater's weapon and figure skating costume.

"'Replace the old and replace it with the new! My sister, who has become the coach of the women's skating team, should have a brand new uniform to reflect the new journey of life!" Asada looked at her stupefied look, and said with a light smile, "Miss Miharu That’s what she said, before she left, she took your old set away and said she would send it back to her hometown.”

"..."

Kirisu Mafuyu was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed.

"Worry too much, I really love to worry."

Pretending not to care, she put the skating clothes back into the box.

However, a soft smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured in a low voice.

"...Next time we meet, thank that child again."

When Asada looked at her for two or three more seconds, she returned to her calm expression and looked at him silently.

'It's your turn. '

He knew the meaning of her eyes, but he didn't immediately take out his gift, but pointed to the crystal blue sexy outfit, looking forward to it.

"Well, don't you wear it now?"

Kirisu Mafuyu shook his head, with a correct posture, and said to him seriously.

"Formal. Ice skating clothes are only worn when skating. It's okay if you want to see other clothes, but only skating clothes, my professional ethics will not allow me to wear them in private."

Asada nodded understandingly, and smiled indifferently.

This made Tongsu Mafuyu inexplicably relieved and at ease - fortunately he didn't express dissatisfaction with this or insisted on her wearing it, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

After all, she was very afraid that this person would show disappointment and indifference to her since she didn't know when...

It's very strange to have this kind of mentality towards students, but only Kirisu Mafuyu knows——

To her, Shinichi Asada was no longer an ordinary student.

He is a member of the same educators, a corrector who supervises his mistakes, and a friend who has accompanied him for more than a year.

It is because she is used to the other party appearing in her life, the first thing she does when she wakes up is to read the good morning message he sent, and she is more and more concerned about his mood, his behavior, his words and deeds——

' So, who is he to me? '

The moment this question clearly appeared in his mind, Kirisu Mafuyu couldn't help being stunned, his pretty face gradually turned red in a daze, and the sound of his heartbeat became more and more rapid and louder beside his ears.

"It's really winter?"

"Tie!"
