"If I had known better, I wouldn't have asked for leave..."

Kotobuki Mitsuru specifically asked for leave.

Obviously, I didn't give myself any excuse when I skipped class before, but now that I have a reasonable reason, I took the initiative to ask for leave.

It was the first time I saw Kotobuki Mitsuru asking for leave. The head teacher who had always been used to Kotobuki Mitsuru leaving without saying goodbye even almost shed tears of excitement.

"Even if I asked for leave, how would my father know..." Kotobuki Hikaru couldn't help but wonder.

I asked for leave from school and didn't tell my family.

"The school will inform the head of the family every once in a while about your current situation."

Kotobuki lay down, leaning on her side in the quilt, with her back to the maid behind her.

The maid just smiled, knowing that her young master was being arrogant again.

Both father and son have such difficult-to-maintain temperaments.

"It's just a minor cold. There's no need for Sakiha to come all the way to take care of me instead. I'm not that pretentious."

"Master, are you tired of my care?" the maid asked.

Sakuha looked around Kotobuki Hikaru's bedroom.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge photo hanging directly opposite the bed.

If I remember correctly...

The paintings that used to be displayed there were probably Monet's paintings.

But such a precious painting is now haphazardly gathering dust in the utility room.

She would sometimes come to clean the house when Kotobuki wasn't at home. Naturally, she saw this photo early, but as a professional maid, she naturally wouldn't ask about the master's personal affairs.

If I remember correctly...

This girl seems to be named... Ichiri Goto.

I heard the eldest lady mention it when I was at my house two days ago.

"This is Ms. Goto in the photo."

The maid suddenly spoke.

"..." Qinbukiguang didn't answer, remained silent, pretending to be asleep.

But the next moment, Sakuha noticed Kotobuki Hikaru's sudden rapid breathing and saw the clues.

"If Miss Goto takes care of the young master, the young master will definitely be very happy."

"I...I won't..."

"Aren't you still asleep?" Sakuha chuckled and teased.

On the bed, Kotobuki's bare cheeks were already filled with large amounts of crimson. She chose silence out of shyness and did not answer Sakuha's question.

......

...

Kotobuki Mitsuru is sick.

Goto Ichiri learned about this at school.

She was on her way to school that day and waited for a long time at the intersection where she usually waited for Kotobukimitsu, but she never saw Kotobukimitsu's figure.

It wasn't until the school bell rang that she went to school after a while.

It was only after class that I heard from the homeroom teacher that Kotobuki Mitsuru had taken a sick leave.

sick leave?

Goto Ichiri couldn't help but worry.

Be absent-minded all day.

Guang felt a little uncomfortable in the past two days and sneezed all the time, but she didn't worry too much and subconsciously felt that Guang had nothing to do with illness.

anyway......

As a girlfriend, it would be too irresponsible for me to only find out later that my lover is sick.

Not at all competent.

Even when her classmates asked about Guang's current situation, she was confused and had no idea at all.

weekend.

Although it was a day off, Goto Kazuri got up early.

"Eh? Xiao Yili got up so early?"

After coming downstairs, my mother, who was busy in the kitchen, asked doubtfully.

Usually, Goto Kazuri would never get up until noon on his days off, and he was definitely not the type to get up early.

Even if you get up, you will never come out of your room.

"Well...there's a little something going on today."

Goto Kazari responded.

"Are you going on a date with Xiaoguang?"

"Eh...?!" Goto Ichiri was startled.

However, seeing Gotou Ichiri's cute reaction, her mother just looked at herself with a smile.

"A date...a date..." Gotou Ichiri waved his hands in panic to explain, his cheeks already stained with a bright pink color. "certainly not..."

"Guang is sick...so, I want to go to his house to visit..."

"Xiaoguang is sick?"

Michiko Goto also looked worried.

"Xiaoguang seems to live alone. It would be very bad if there is no one to take care of her when she is sick."

After hearing his mother's words, Goto Ichiri blamed himself even more.

When Guang Sick needed care the most, he didn't rush there immediately.

"I wonder if I have eaten well and taken medicine."

"So, that's why I want to take care of him..." Goto Kazuri said.

"Hmph... My family has also learned to take care of others."

Michiko Goto had an expression on her face that said, "My daughter has grown up."

"By the way, since you are going to visit a doctor, please bring a lunch box with you."

Michiko Goto suggested, holding a spatula. "How about Yili also take this opportunity to learn how to cook?"

"Cook?!"

Goto Ichiri panicked.

Playing the guitar is okay, but I know nothing about cooking...

Even in home economics class, I was definitely in a position where I could only help wash vegetables.

"When you are sick, it is absolutely very happy to be able to eat a bento made by someone you like." Michiko Goto became interested. "Besides, if you don't know how to cook after getting married, your father-in-law will tell you..."

"Get...married——?!" Goto Kazuri said in a surprised tone. "Madam, madam...it's too early to say such a thing!"

"Is it early?"

"Morning..." Goto Ichiri's voice became increasingly unconfident.

Cooking?...

This is indeed a necessary skill for a wife in Japan...

Moreover, Guang's family seems to be very wealthy... If I can't even do this little thing well, am I really just a loser who stays at home all day? !

If you can't even do such a small thing...

He will definitely be kicked out after being scolded by his father-in-law——!

Goto Ichiri, who was born in an ordinary family, was completely unaware...

For some families, it is not necessary to be able to cook or do housework.

Cooking?...

"it is good."

Goto raised his head, feeling an inexplicable fighting spirit ignited in his heart.

"Mom, I want to learn to cook."

It’s just a bento, even I can definitely get it easily...

Two hours passed.

With trembling hands, Goto Kazuri placed the heart-shaped eggs fried in a mold on the top of the lunch box.

"It's...finished..."

Goto Kazuri breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat with his sleeve.

"It's really not easy to cook..."

Goto Kazuri just feels more tired now than when he usually practices guitar for six hours straight.

The trash can was almost full of ingredients that I had discarded. With the help of my mother, I barely spent two hours making this lunch.

Looking at the lunch box filled with rich food, Goto Kazuri felt a sense of expectation in his heart.

"Although cooking is not easy, when the important people smile after eating it, they will be very happy."

Mom spoke.

She looked at Gotou Kazuri with a smile in relief.

In these two hours, Goto Ichiri failed countless times.

Even my finger was accidentally cut once.

But even so, Goto Kazuri still did not choose to give up.

The person who is worthy of Yili's efforts is definitely someone who can entrust Yili with his whole life...

"Then...I'm going, Mom."

Goto Ichisato glanced at the time.

I originally planned to go there early in the morning.

But because cooking takes a lot of time, I expect that I will arrive at Guang's home in time for lunch.

Therefore, there can be no further delay.

"Let's tidy up a little, change into something cute, and put on a little makeup."

Michiko Goto took off the apron from Ichiri Goto.

"It's not polite to see Xiaoguang in such a dirty state."

"Ah... yes."

Goto lowered his head and realized that there was a lot of oil on his body.

When Ichiri Goto changed into a cute private outfit and went downstairs, her mother had already put the prepared lunch box in her knitted bag.

"Then...I'll set off."

After dressing up carefully, Ichiri Goto checked his outfit on his phone screen before going out. After it was correct, he put on his shoes and got ready to go out.

"If Xiaoguang is sick, please pay attention to rest."

"Oh, I see."

Goto Kazuri opened the door to his house.

"And please pay attention to safety."
