"So, can you tell me the reason?"

In the kitchen, Hamabe Ryoko picked up a kitchen knife and started cutting beef for today's hot pot while starting a conversation.

"What reason?"

Amamiya Ayana asked, and then turned on the faucet.

After adjusting the water to the appropriate level, she carefully rinsed the seasonal vegetables.

"A reason not to be angry."

Hamabe Ryoko paused for a moment.

She wanted to ask this question when she was purchasing, but because Youzai was there, she never found a suitable opportunity to ask.

"If you don't want to be angry, then don't be angry. Do you need a reason not to be angry?"

The Saint Lady stopped what she was doing, turned around and took a piece of kitchen paper.

After drying her wet hands, she took out an elastic band from her apron pocket and tied her black shawl hair into a single ponytail.

In terms of work, this is much more convenient.

"Of course." Hamabe Ryoko paused and added, "Usually you are not as calm as you were this morning."

"If it were my normal self, what would I do this morning?"

The Saint Lady continued to wash the seasonal vegetables and asked this question.

She was actually quite curious about what kind of image she had in Hamabe Ryoko's mind.

"Well...I guess he'll be angry, but he won't be so obvious. Maybe there will be a verbal exchange or two?"

Ryoko Hamabe put down the kitchen knife, bent down and took out a small bowl from the cupboard, then took the eggs that had been placed next to the chopping board.

Theoretically speaking, when eating hot pot, the pre-meal preparation of the ingredients does not need to be so detailed, and a basic division will be enough.

But we have done this

——With her excellent knife skills, the beef has been cut into slices of appropriate size.

Then coat the beef with a layer of egg white.

It won’t do any harm anyway, and it can even taste better.

"……probably?"

Amamiya Ayana tilted her head, and there was a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

What Hamabe Ryoko said actually makes sense. If what happened to Teppei Amamiya had not happened, there is indeed a very small probability that she would have done so.

But there are no ifs in life, right?

"What should..."

Hamabe Ryoko shook her head, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Because I don't really like to quarrel with others, or rather, I won't quarrel with others in front of Mr. Troll, even if it's just a verbal exchange or two."

The Saint Lady reached out and took out a paring knife from the knife rack, then picked up two potatoes from the vegetable basket beside her.

After washing the potatoes with water, she patiently peeled them.

"Because no matter what, internally, we live under the same roof, and externally, our goals are the same, so such a confrontation is unnecessary."

She paused and changed the subject.

"By the way, is this paring knife new?"

'"Yes, what's wrong?"

"very useful."

The Saint Lady looked at the cleanly peeled potatoes and smiled unconsciously.

For no reason, she felt that scraping the skin was quite stress-relieving.

"I bought it with a half-believing and half-doubting heart." Hamabe Ryoko pursed her lips and slowed down the stirring of the egg whites. "I didn't expect that I would buy the right one."

"Remember to call me next time, I'll go with you."

"uh-huh."

She responded casually.

"Ayana, have you ever thought about what would happen if I ran away?"

"Then just run away."

The Saint Lady picked up another cucumber and began to peel it with ease.

Every time she cut, a lot of the cucumber skin would be scraped off.

The cucumbers they bought today were not the ones with smooth surfaces, but the ones with small bumps. As Mr. Troll said, these are imported and more suitable for hot pot.

"...You don't care at all?"

In the end, Hamabe Ryoko couldn't help it, so she turned her head and looked at Amamiya Ayana's back.

"What's the big deal?"

Amemiya Ayana put the peeled cucumbers into a clean vegetable basket.

"Or let me put it this way, Ryoko, have you ever heard a saying? Sometimes, people are like kites. As long as the string is in your hand, the kite will not get out of control even if the wind is strong."

She paused.

"I just need to be sure of one thing."

"Which point?"

Hamabe Ryoko frowned instinctively.

She suddenly felt the gap.

In front of the Saint Lady, she was as childish as a little kid.

"It is enough to make sure that I am the most important person in Mr. Troll's heart."

The saint lady turned around and handed the basket of cucumbers and potatoes to Hamabe Ryoko as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

"I'll leave it to you from now on, Ryoko."

It’s a bit regrettable to say that her knife skills are only a hundred steps away from Mr. Troll’s compared to Hamabe Ryoko’s.

"……it is good."

Hamabe Ryoko took the basket.

But she didn't cut it right away, but starched the beef first.

"Of course, the above words are just nice polite words. I am indeed a little jealous, but to be honest, not really."

Amamiya Ayana turned around and looked at the seasonal vegetables in the sink.

"Also, as for seasonal vegetables, they have all been washed, but can they really be eaten in one meal?"

Anyway, she thought it was unlikely.

With the appetite of the three of them, and with so much meat left, it would be considered good if they could eat half of these vegetables.

"Half? Or to be more precise, a third?"

Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Saint Lady really didn't feel any resentment at all, then the frustration in her heart would be maximized.

"Then let's start with one third."

The Saint Lady made a decision.

The reason why she was not in a hurry was that, on the one hand, she could feel that she occupied a very important position in Mr. Troll's heart, and on the other hand, Ryoko's progress was far inferior to hers.

Kissing on the cheek is just the beginning.

Coincidentally, before coming here today, she had checked the weather forecast saying there would be a thunderstorm tonight.

Well, then we have everything: the right time, the right place, and the right people.

But, I definitely can’t tell this to Ryoko.

"Ah."

Ryoko Hamabe agreed, and she had just finished starching the meat.

"How many potatoes and cucumbers do you want? I can cut them up."

She picked up the kitchen knife, turned her head and asked this question.

Frankly speaking, Miss Saint had taught her another lesson.

She seemed to have figured out some things.

In the living room, Watanabe Yu, who had been listening to the noise in the kitchen, frowned, and then his brows relaxed slightly.

Peace is the best.

only……

The doubt in his eyes became more and more intense.

According to common sense, the Saint Lady would definitely do something, so why is she so quiet today?

Buzz. Buzz.

Suddenly, his cell phone on the coffee table vibrated.

After taking a look at the caller, he turned up the volume on the TV and answered the phone.

The caller was none other than Yuki Hayakawa, with whom he had only communicated on Line recently.

1/2, caught up today.jpg

Chapter 138 The Head of the House

"Good morning, Yuu."

"Good morning, Yuki."

"…Regarding the recording of the song, have you decided on a time?"

On the other end of the phone, Yuki Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, but decided to get straight to the point.

"Well, it may take some time. The fastest time would be a week."

Watanabe Yu thought about it and gave an answer.

According to his current plan, he won't be able to find time until early August.

"……All right."

Hearing this, Yuki Hayakawa, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly slumped down.

She worked so hard to get back into shape, just to be able to show her best side to him when recording the song, so that he could see her glowing.

But the current result is that she still has to wait for a while.

Yes, she knew that Watanabe Yu had been very busy recently and had a lot of work on hand, but even though she knew it, she couldn't avoid having the emotions in her heart.

Especially when she thought of what Hamabe Ryoko said, her anxiety became even stronger.

The feeling of watching her opponent working so hard while she herself can do nothing is really making her feel very uncomfortable.

But...she could only endure it.

"By the way, have you solved the problem that bothered you?"

She let out a long breath in her heart and took the initiative to change the subject.
