A world only known by the God of Lost Love

However, her next words immediately froze Suzuki Ren's expression on her face:

"However, if possible, I hope Lian can do it with her upper body naked."

"Am I the one who wants to explode?!"

"Is that okay? Lian?"

"Of course not! You will be regarded as a pervert!"

"...Ah, this time it's finally no longer brown."

Shiina Mashiro, who was decisively rejected, did not show a discouraged expression. Instead, she rarely opened her eyes slightly.

"Since it's not enough to go bare-chested, what about the deacon's uniform?"

"This... I don't have it on hand, so it won't work."

"Where's the pajamas?"

"Eh? Are you cooking in your pajamas?! Although this is a bit strange...but if you think about it carefully...it's not impossible."

"I see, is it okay at this level... Well, I understand."

"You understand something..."

Faced with such incomprehensible words, Suzuki Ren couldn't help showing a confused expression again.

However, at this time, Shiina Mashiro had already achieved his goal.

(I finally saw other "colors" of Lotus...but even if I refuse, it's still just a mild light yellow.)

Shiina Mashiro, whose face remained calm and unchanging, thought so in her heart.

(Next...what else should I do to see more colors of lotus...?)

Looking at the boy in front of him who had become as colorful and interesting as his palette, the talented painter couldn't help but wonder as if he had found a new toy.

Chapter No.16: The mood that cannot be described by a single color is

In the end, in order to help Shiina Mashiro collect materials, Suzuki Renzhen put on his home loose T-shirt and shorts, and started preparing dinner with Misaki Ueizusa.

As for Misaki Kamiigusa, she was not too surprised by Ren Suzuki's appearance, and continued to start tonight's cooking generously and normally——

"Suzuki-san, help me take out the onions from the refrigerator!"

"Okay...do you want me to wash the meat too?"

"Hmm~ Let's wash it. After all, it has been in the refrigerator for a day."

"Understood...ah, here is mirin and soy sauce. You should use it later, right?"

"That's right, thank you~"

Ren Suzuki, who also knows how to cook, started cooking for Misaki Uyegusa very smoothly.After Misaki Kamiikusa learned that Suzuki Ren's cooking skills were indeed very good, she began to naturally ask him to provide various assistance.

Although they had only known each other for two days, and although it was their first time preparing food together, the two still cooperated very harmoniously.

At the same time, Mashiro Shiina, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, was holding up her mobile phone and constantly taking photos of the two people busy in the kitchen——

"Suzuki-san, help me cut this!"

"Shred it?"

"Yes, please."

"understood."

"…………"

Looking at the two people standing side by side in front of the cooking table, after just taking a few photos, Mashiro Shiina put down her phone, and then she kept watching the two people in silence.

Although Ren Suzuki spent much more time with him than Misaki Uekusa during these two days, it seems that the naturalness and ease that Ren Suzuki showed when getting along with Misaki Uekusa was far more natural. Better than yourself.

"...It's light green."

After muttering this in a low voice, Shiina Mashiro's brows subconsciously frowned slightly.

Although she did get her wish and saw a color she had never seen on Ren Suzuki, the reason for it had nothing to do with her...

Logically speaking... she had achieved her goal as long as she could see Suzuki Ren's "color", but for some reason, she couldn't be happy at this moment no matter what.

Is it because you are too tired from the first day of school today?Or maybe she didn't see the color she wanted to see the most?

Shiina Mashiro herself doesn’t know.

She only knew that every time she saw the relaxed expression on Ren Suzuki's face when she responded to Misaki Kamikusa, she would feel a burst of dark emotions inexplicably rise in her heart——

"...Oh, Suzuki-san is helping Misaki cook."

At this moment, Mitaka Jin's voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

When Shiina Mashiro looked back, she found that Mitaka Jin was also watching the two people in the kitchen with her.

"The cooperation is so tacit... It's really easy for people who are good at cooking to have a common language."

Mitaka Jin first sighed with a smile, then lowered his head and looked at Shiina Mashiro's mobile phone:

"Have you finished collecting the materials, Shiina-kun? I see you haven't pressed the shutter again for a long time."

"………………kindness."

Shiina Mashiro nodded and put the phone back into his pocket.

"It's...no need to take any more pictures."

"Really, then, let's go to the restaurant and wait for them."

Mitaka Jin pointed behind him.

"Standing here all the time might still get in their way, right?"

"…………"

Shiina Mashiro fell into silence immediately after hearing this.

Then, she first raised her head and glanced at Ren Suzuki, who was concentrating on slicing potatoes, and then glanced at Misaki, who was smiling and praising his knife skills. Then she nodded and walked to the restaurant silently...

........................

"This is really a big help. Until now, at Sakurasou, Misaki has been preparing dinner alone... Now with the help of Suzuki-san, Misaki's burden will be reduced a lot."

Mitaka Jin, who sat at the dining table, sighed:

"Not only is he handsome and has a good personality, but he is also so good at housework... This guy is simply a miraculous good man."

"..."

Hearing Mitaka Jin's sigh, although Shiina Mashiro did not make any response, the unreasonable dark emotions in her heart began to boil again.

Immediately afterwards, Mitaka Jin continued:

"But...fortunately, there are rumors everywhere in the school about you and Suzuki-san. Otherwise, he would definitely be one of the most popular boys in the general department."

"..."

Shiina Mashiro's mood suddenly became much calmer again.

However, even though she was slow to react, she still heard clearly the words that Mitaka Jin just said that cannot be ignored——

"...Huh? Why did you suddenly start staring at me? Ah, could it be because of what I just said?"

Mitaka Jin smiled and shrugged.

"Actually, Misaki and I both know that the relationship between you and Suzuki-san is not the kind of relationship everyone reports... After all, you two just met yesterday, and Suzuki-san has such a serious personality. Boys...such people will never become lovers with a girl they just met for a day."

"...!"

After hearing this, Shiina Mashiro's eyes widened slightly at first, and then she nodded thoughtfully, seeming to agree with Mitaka Jin's statement.

After seeing all of Shiina Mashiro's reaction, Mitaka Jin continued:

"However, a boy as serious as him did not solve this misunderstanding immediately. He must have his own considerations, so... Shiina-san, you can continue to stay by his side with peace of mind."

"………………Why?"

Finally, Shiina Mashiro did not remain silent this time, but asked in a slightly confused tone:

"Mitaka-senpai...will you tell me this?"

"Haha, because these are the words you want to hear most right now, aren't they?"

Mitaka Jin chuckled and said:

"Although I don't know Shiina-san, and I can't understand what's going on behind your poker face, but... the look in your eyes when you looked at Suzuki-san's back at the kitchen door just now is all too familiar to me."

"Eye...?"

"Well, I can't understand that feeling of being so close yet so far away, so full of curiosity and admiration, but at the same time not daring to step forward and disturb the other person."

"…………"

This series of descriptions made Shiina Mashiro, who had always distinguished emotions by "color", suddenly fall into analysis.

At this time, she was trying to use a specific color to describe the emotion described by Mitaka Jin. However, even if she searched through the color library in her mind, she could not find one that could match this emotion. color.

"Well, in short, you don't have to be as cautious as me. You just need to continue acting coquettishly towards Suzuki-san."

I don't know if he saw the confusion in Shiina Mashiro's eyes, but Mitaka Jin stood up while saying this.

"And... what Suzuki-san is doing now may not have anything to do with you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his room.

And not long after he left, Ren Suzuki, wearing an apron, suddenly hurried from the kitchen to the dining room——

"Shiina-san, could you please take a bite of this?"

"???"

Suzuki Ren suddenly came to her with a small plate of omelet and a pair of chopsticks. Judging from his movements, it seemed that he wanted to let herself taste the omelet in his hand...

Although this information had indeed been accepted in his mind, Mashiro Shiina, who had not yet recovered from the topic just now, only had time to raise his head and look at Ren Suzuki, and was completely unable to take the chopsticks in his hand in time——

"Uh...this reaction, do you want me to feed you? Okay, okay."

Ren Suzuki just smiled helplessly at this, then picked up the omelet on the plate with chopsticks, and slowly stretched it out in front of Shiina Mashiro.

"Come on, Shiina-san, ah——"

"what……"

Almost subconsciously, Mashiro Shiina opened her mouth according to Ren Suzuki's instructions.

The next second, a warm and soft feeling suddenly appeared in her mouth, followed closely by the right saltiness and the fragrance of eggs——

"How's it going? Is this salty okay?"

Ren Suzuki asked.

Shiina Mashiro, who was suddenly fed, nodded slightly while chewing.

"Ah, that's good. I will make it according to this taste tomorrow morning."

Suzuki Ren smiled reassuringly and then said.

"You can look forward to tomorrow's lunch, Shiina-san."

After saying that, he immediately turned back and returned to the kitchen with hurried steps...

"…………"

After silently swallowing the omelette, Shiina Mashiro was stunned for several minutes before finally recovering from the fading taste in his mouth.

And when she regained consciousness, she immediately murmured subconsciously:

"……Light pink."

The black ink stains gradually dissipated, and what emerged in front of his eyes was another completely different color.

This time, she finally found a single color that could describe her mood at the moment.

After dinner, Mashiro Shiina returned to the room alone, hugged her knees and sat in front of the computer.
