Since I went to the ramen shop with Ayase for lunch last semester, I knew that Ayase loves chili, so Kirino specially bought a bottle of chili sauce to try it when he got home.

——After all, she felt that as a good friend of Ayase, she must eat together at ordinary times. If the two of them couldn't eat together because of taste problems, it would undoubtedly be a very frustrating thing.

So Kirino thought that if he could eat a little chili, he would have a lot more choices of food when going out with Ayase.

This is the way Takasaka Kirino treats friends: when it comes to issues of principle—for example, when he once concealed his hobbies from Ayase, and when he told Ayase that he loves Galgame, he can argue without giving an inch; but the same, When it doesn't involve his own principles, Kirino is more willing to "take the extra step on his own initiative" to accommodate his friends.

This is also the reason why Kanako, who disliked Kirino when she first entered school, ended up becoming good friends with Kirino.

"However, Ayase, you made this addition...well, fish-flavored shredded pork, right? It's really delicious, I didn't know it before..." Kirino, who finished drinking the juice, looked up and praised Ayase with a smile His eyes flickered slightly, "I just don't know how many things you have, Ayase, and you never told me..."

=================

After thinking about it, I didn't want to torture my lovely Kirino hard.

So I didn't intend to remind Ayase of the setting that Kirino can't eat chili,

In the end, he still didn't make up his mind, and reminded Ayase of this setting.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Just when he lowered his head, his eyes flickered for a moment, and Kirino raised his head again with a subtle smile on his face, as if he was praising his friend's cooking skills.

"Hey, it's so-so." Ayase, who didn't realize that there was something hidden in Kirino's heart, smiled and pointed to the kitchen and said, "I also specially bought a lot of ingredients, just waiting for noon to show my skills."

It's not that Ayase's EQ is low or slow, but from Ayase's point of view, although Kirino has been a lot closer to her because of her vague guidance during this period, he still Did not exceed the limit of "close friends in boudoir".

Don't look at Ayase often making some cross-line jokes to Kirino, but it is precisely because it is done within the framework of "jokes", so it is just a "joke".

Therefore, Ayase didn't think too much about it—in fact, Ayase's thoughts were not wrong, indeed, in Kirino's heart, Ayase was just regarded as a very close friend.

——It’s just that Ayase, who is obviously more masculine, can’t understand the emotional and complicated thoughts of girls, not to mention that she often teases Kirino vaguely, which invisibly arouses some subtle possessive desires in Kirino.

And what Ayase said about "showing her hand" at noon seemed to tell Kirino that "she doesn't know much about Ayase", although it would not irritate Kirino—after all, she had also concealed it from Ayase My own hobby of "like otaku culture", but it made Kirino have a subtle idea of ​​"wanting to know more about Ayase".

"Is that so..." Tong Nao pursed his lips with various thoughts in his mind, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Then I'm looking forward to it..."

"...I'm looking forward to how many things I don't know about you. 』

"Yeah, that's right." At this time, Ayase remembered that Kirino hadn't played those confiscated Galgames for a while, but she couldn't speak directly because of Marina, so she hinted vaguely: "You If you're bored, the computer is in my bedroom, and you know where you put games..."

"And Aria and Ellie are upstairs 'referring' to my homework, you can say hello to them. Afraid that Kirino's Hgame playing R-18 would be smashed by the other two, Ayase reminded him vaguely.

However, Kirino seemed to have never heard of Ayase's punctuality, "No need, I don't really want to play games right now."

Although Ayase didn't really understand why Kirino, who usually dragged her to play Galgame excitedly when he came to her house, seemed not interested in Hgame today, but Ayase didn't ask in detail. On the one hand, everyone has a time when they get tired of playing games. If there is no new game, it is normal to always play the old game several times and don't want to play it again.

"Well, is there any game you want to play?" Ayase frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Then you can do whatever you want, anyway, this is not the first time you have come here."

Kirino smiled and nodded yes, and did not explain to Ayase that he brought a new game.

"Well, does Kosaka-san often come to Ayase's house to play?" Marina who was on the side asked curiously after hearing what Ayase said - after all, in the traditional Japanese concept, the concept of "home" is very personal Yes, they don't have the habit of "visiting each other".

After the bathroom in Akizuki's house broke down last time, the Akizuki sisters would hesitate at the door of Ayase's house, because it would be rude to go there without an invitation from the owner or an appointment in advance, so Ayase treated them very generously Afterwards, the Akizuki sisters specially invited Ayase and Aria to their home as a gift in return.

——Afterwards, Ayase often went to Akizuki's house because Marina invited her to teach her cooking skills, and it was also because of Ayase's invitation to Black Cat and Morinaka.

That's why Marina was very curious when she heard that Ayase asked Kirino to "do whatever she wanted".

"Yes, Kirino often comes to my house." Without waiting for Kirino to reply, Ayase, who was afraid that she might say something wrong, answered Marina's question, but added an extra sentence in her heart, "Although they are all here to play galgames . 』

Now that Ayase answered for her, Kirino didn't speak, and nodded silently. At the same time, because of Marina's words, she realized that Ayase never seemed to treat her as an outsider, and always let her do whatever she wanted.

——After thinking about these things, Kirino, who is a girl at heart, suddenly became clearer, and even looked at Marina with kind eyes.

"That's great." Marina said with some envy. For Yamato Nadeko, who has been influenced by traditional Japanese thinking since she was a child, she didn't even dare to think about this way of getting along with friends.

"Ha, it's not as exaggerated as you said, sister Marina, you can do whatever you want at my house, I don't care about those etiquettes." Ayase, who understood what Marina was feeling, said with a smile: "You see, Ellie is not very Are you free?"

Kirino, whose mood improved because of his "privilege", trembled again after hearing Ayase's words, but quickly recovered, "Probably because of etiquette, that's why Ayase behaved like this with Akizuki." Senior sister is being polite. 』

Regarding Ayase's words, Marina shook her head with a light smile, and said softly, "I've told Ellie many times, that is, Ayase, you have a good temper and are not angry with her disrespectful behavior."

Knowing that Mani Nai's character is like this, Ayase didn't say anything more, she smiled and turned her head to Kirino and said, "Say, Kirino, do you have any Chinese food you want to eat? If I can cook it, I can give it to you at noon. You do."

"Eh?" Kirino, who was struggling with his own thoughts, blushed slightly when he heard Ayase's words, and then said in embarrassment: "Even if you say so, Ayase, I haven't eaten much Chinese food..."

"Chinese food? I have something I want to eat, I want to eat "King Sauce Shredded Pork", Ayase, can you make it? "Just as Kirino was recalling the names of the Chinese dishes he knew, there was a crisp voice from the door of the restaurant, and Ellie, who had finished copying—or borrowed from her homework, jumped to the side of Ayase and said excitedly.

"Airi." Marina frowned, just now she was complaining to Ayase that her sister always behaved impolitely, but now Airi did such rude behavior again.

Sticking out her tongue at her sister Marina and making a grimace, Akizuki Airi greeted Kirino with a smile and said, "Yeah, Kosaka-san, you're here too."

Silently greeted Airi, Kirino watched Airi acting like a spoiled child while holding Ayase's arm, his originally calm eyes became turbulent again.

——In the past, only she...with Kanako at most, could have such intimacy with Ayase.

"Shredded Pork with Beijing Sauce, the ingredients at home seem to be scarce, and it looks like I'm going to a convenience store soon." Ayase blinked her eyes and said after thinking for a while.

At this time, Aria, who was casually wearing home clothes, also appeared in the restaurant. It seemed that she had finished copying homework with Ellie, "Then let's buy some peach steamed buns and go home."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Wearing ordinary home clothes, except for the two iconic double ponytails that are smooth and soft under careful care, Aria's dress is very casual.

"By the way, bring me some peach steamed buns. The house is not full of peaches." Aria spoke in a tone that seemed to be talking to her family. Although she was not polite, she was very natural and friendly.

"Peach mantou, how much have you eaten recently? If you eat any more, your weight will be..." Ayase didn't feel the slightest bit wrong with Aria's tone, and she also teased her very naturally, "I'll have a good meal at noon today. Let's eat rice and Chinese food."

"Well, ok ok, really." Aria, with a slightly wrinkled nose, shook her ponytails in dissatisfaction, and then greeted Kirino who was sitting in the restaurant: "Ah, Kirino is also here Already."

"Yeah." Kirino nodded and greeted Aria - this is the first time Kirino has been to Ayase's house since the beginning of school this semester, although he already knew from Ayase that Aria was staying with her However, seeing Aria appearing in front of him with such a "at home" appearance, Kirino still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Then I'll go to the supermarket to buy some materials. Do you have anything else to bring?" After Aria and Kirino greeted each other, Ayase asked.

The Qiuyue sisters naturally would not ask Ayase, who is the master, to help them bring things, but Aria puffed her cheeks and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, there are no peach buns."

Aria's behavior caused Ayase to look at Kirino dumbfounded, "What about Kirino, have you thought of any Chinese food that you particularly want to eat? If I can cook, I will buy the ingredients together."

After hearing what Ayase said, Kirino's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head and said, "I haven't thought about it, why don't I go to the supermarket with you."

"Eh?" Ayase blinked blankly.

……

In the supermarket near Ayase's house, because it was Sunday morning, there were many people visiting the supermarket.

"Does Kirino want to eat something?" Ayase, who was pushing the shopping cart, asked Kirino who was following her.

Because I came out to buy ingredients, Kirino didn't carry her satchel, and came out with both hands empty. Hearing Ayase's question, she kept thinking about other things. She didn't think about lunch, she waved her hands one after another, "Well, You can do whatever you want, anyway, I don’t have much research on Chinese cuisine.”

"I see." Ayase nodded knowingly, then frowned and said, "It's just that the Chinese cuisine I know is all Sichuan cuisine, which is a pity."

"It's a pity? What a pity?" Seeing Ayase's eyebrows furrowed and looking distressed, Kirino asked with concern.

"Well, Chinese cuisine is divided into many cuisines. Sichuan cuisine is one of those cuisines. For example, mapo tofu, which is very famous in Japan, is one of them. Its characteristic is spicy...but you..." Speaking of this, Ayase glanced at Kirino hesitantly.

"Well, are you afraid that I won't be able to eat chili?" After hearing Ayase's words, the smart Kirino immediately thought of her worries, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have no problem at all, it's just that the one this morning is called... fish meat There is no problem with Si's level."

"It's shredded pork with fish flavor, fish flavor, not fish meat." Ayase laughed out loud while correcting Kirino's pronunciation.

"Eh? The smell of fish? What a strange name, it's so interesting that the Chinese named it." Kirino was stunned for a moment, and then laughed together with Ayase.

After laughing twice, Kirino didn't know what he thought of, suddenly stopped laughing, and called Ayase's name hesitantly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Ayase, who was bending over to pick out raw meat from the freezer, responded casually.

"I didn't know you knew so much about China before." Tong Nao quietly looked at Ayase who lowered her head to select ingredients, and said softly: "I remember you recited an ancient Chinese poem at the school festival before, this time Also, I didn’t even know you could cook Chinese food before.”

"Huh?" Hearing that there was something wrong with Kirino's tone, Ayase put the ingredients back into the freezer, raised her head and looked at Kirino, "What does Kirino mean by saying that...do you doubt me?" 』

Ignoring Ayase's question, Kirino continued on his own: "Today, I suddenly feel that I know so little about you."

Hearing Kirino's words, Ayase first breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I don't wonder why I suddenly know so much about China. 』

But soon Ayase realized that Kirino's current mood was not right, and said cautiously: "Haha, I didn't have a chance to tell you before, it's not a big deal anyway."

"Really." Tong Nao nodded noncommittally, and then said with some emotion: "It's just this feeling, well, you are not allowed to laugh at me when I say it..."

"Yeah." Already clearly aware of something wrong with Kirino, Ayase naturally didn't say much, and nodded decisively.

"When I learned today that you know how to cook Chinese, I suddenly had an idea..."

After a short pause, Kirino made way for the supermarket service staff who were pushing the sweeper, and then said: "Before, when you knew that I had hidden my "home hobby" from you, were you the same as me? mood. "

"Uh...not anymore." Although I don't know what kind of mood Kirino said "the same mood", but Ayase can still feel her negativity at this time, she quickly denied it, and at the same time thought in her heart, "And I was early I know your otaku hobby...I'm not the original Ayase, I already knew your secret...』

"No?" Tong Nai frowned, and then loosened his brows again, "I thought you would be like me, suddenly feel frustrated, and feel that you don't know anything about your friends."

Although I don't know about Kirino's mental activities in the restaurant before, but after listening to her words, Ayase still understands what Kirino is struggling with at this time.

While thinking about how to explain it to Kirino, Ayase subconsciously exerted force on the hand pushing the shopping cart, and the already white fingers could not even see a little blood because of too much force.

"Well, how should I put it?" Ayase loosened his grip on the shopping cart a little bit, and said to Kirino carefully, "Although I may be a little disappointed at the beginning, I found out that Kirino hid another side from me." , but I figured it out quickly."

"Huh?" Kirino tilted his head and looked at Ayase.

"Because, everyone has some secrets that are hard to tell..." Ayase said to Kirino with a gentle smile, "So even at the beginning, self-doubt is not for Kirino at all." I don’t understand, but I will soon wonder if Kirino has other reasons.”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

With a soft smile on his face, Ayase said to Kirino in a gentle tone: "Although I will have doubts at first "I don't know Kirino at all", but soon I will think that Kirino also has unavoidable reasons. "

"Besides, I still remember Kirino's answer to me afterwards." In Ayase's mind, he recalled the way Kirino's eyes twinkled that night, and sincerely said: "Kirino was very powerful at that time, and he could That kind of insisting on myself, not making compromises, even shocked me."

"Hmm..." Hearing Ayase mentioning that night again, Kirino's cheeks blushed, and he muttered a few times shyly.

"Even now I can recite what Kirino said at that time." Ayase did not lie to Kirino, after all, it was the first time she had in-depth communication with Kirino after she came to this world—even if this Half of the communication was based on her deception to Kirino, but the brilliance in Kirino's eyes at that time left an extremely deep impression on her.

——That is the burning feeling that you can’t feel at all when watching animations or novels. Only when you communicate face to face with Kirino Kosaka can you experience Kirino’s love for otaku culture from the depths of his soul and her The value of friendship with Ayase.

The most important thing is Kirino's determination not to give up on both of them. At that time, Kirino's awareness was completely conveyed to Ayase through his eyes, and he never forgot even after so long.

"And Kirino's confession to me at that time." Speaking of this, Ayase winked at Kirino teasingly.

"Woo!" As if being hit hard, Tong Nai let out a mournful cry like a small animal, "How many times have I said it, and it was out of choice at the time, why do you keep mentioning this?"

"Because that's Kirino's confession, I don't have a chance to hear it a few times." Ayase chuckled a few times, and after teasing Kirino, seeing that her face was better than before, she continued: "So then Kirino's declaration also confirms my point of view just now."

Ayase deliberately stopped talking halfway, and after attracting Kirino's attention, she said under her urging: "It's my point of view that "you must have your own reasons, so you hid it from me in the first place." Ah, what you said to me that night proved it. "

"Listen up, Ayase! As for me, I don't intend to give up either side! Whether it's friends or interests, they are indispensable to me. No matter which side is missing, I am no longer me, so Even if you dislike me or break up with me, I will never give up my interest, but I will not give up on Ayase, I will always pester you and follow you! Until you and I reconcile So far! Because I like Ayase the most!" Seeing that Kirino was still in a daze, Ayase immediately repeated what Kirino said at the time, and then said to Kirino: "Just now The passage was said by you Kirino at the time."

"...Yeah." Kirino muttered "I don't need to repeat the last sentence" in a low voice and nodded blushingly, as if she didn't expect Ayase to really remember what she said that night so clearly.

"So you see, Kirino is still the Kirino I know, the Kirino who wants to be the best in everything, the Kirino who treats his friends and himself with sincerity." Ayase continued with a light smile: " Doesn’t this mean that nothing has changed? It’s still Kirino from beginning to end.”

"Hmm..." Although Ayase's blatant compliment made Kirino very embarrassed, but after hearing these words, Kirino's eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully, "I seem to understand what you mean by Ayase. Interesting."

After being silent for a while, Tong Nao suddenly raised his head, smiled at Ayase, and dispelled the original haze on his face, "Speaking of which, Ayase, did you want to say what you just said? You still have a lot of things to tell pass me?"

"Uh..." Ayase, who was persuading Kirino, was at a loss for words for a moment, but she never thought that Kirino would be keenly aware of her just adding a little emotion.

"Sure enough." Kirino narrowed his eyes, nodded slowly and looked at Ayase, "Is there anything else I don't know..."
