Chapter 2 – Triangular Relationship\nVolume 2\n<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide">\n\n\n
…… About an hour later, my dad came home. He noticed a strange pair of shoes at the door. He came into the living room cautiously, and when he spotted me, he quickly approached me.\n
“Hey, is someone here?”\n
I told him briefly what had happened. Then my father’s eyes widened.\n
“A girl? Naoya brought a girl into the house?”\n
I didn’t want him to use the word “brought”. I only invited her as a token of my gratitude. When I said that, “I see, so that’s how it is on the surface,” he responded mysteriously.\n
“I’m having her watch over Sayaka’s studies. That’s why they’re both upstairs.”\n
“You’re such a schemer. Using Sayaka to ensnare her is a terrible thing. You’re planning to make her a family friend and then make her your own woman. I knew you were a smart kid, but I’m terrified that you could think of something like that.”\n\n
I kept my mouth shut, thinking there was no point in saying anything else. My father was fired up for some reason. He thought that he shouldn’t fail in front of the girl his son had set his eyes on.\n
After another ten minutes or so, the curry was ready.\n
‘Dad, I’m sorry, but can you go get them?”\n
“Me?”\n
I ignored him and took out a few plates from the cupboard for each of us. When my father noticed that I didn’t answer, he reluctantly went upstairs.\n\n
The thought that Fujisaki would soon be eating my cooking made me nervous. I had prepared it more carefully than usual. As I served the curry, I let out a big breath.\n
Soon, Sayaka and the others came downstairs.\n
“It smells delicious.”\n
Fujisaki helped me with the dishes I was trying to carry. When everyone was lined up, I noticed that my father was beckoning to me. I walk over to my father at the edge of the living room.\n\n
“Let’s get this straight, shall we?”\n
My father, more excited than ever, put his hand on my shoulder.\n
I’ve just heard from her that her name is Fujisaki Shiori and that she’s your classmate. And as you said, she has been helping with Sayaka’s studies, and you brought her home as a thank you. She doesn’t seem to dislike it at all, rather she seems to be enjoying it.”\n
“…..What?”\n
The misunderstanding from earlier is still continuing. He still thinks it was a strategic move to win over Fujisaki.\n
“You’re a good cook, that’s for sure. It’s no wonder since you’ve been cooking every day for the past few years. Using your strengths to appeal to the opposite sex can be very effective. And the fact that she doesn’t mind you inviting her to your house is proof that you have some traction.”\n
“No, it’s wrong. That’s not the point.”\n
But he didn’t seem to hear my words. With a mysterious gesture of “yes, yes” he was passing the words from one ear to the other.\n
“I’ve only talked to her a little bit, but my impression of her is not bad. She seems to have a good personality, and she doesn’t have the arrogance of a good-looking girl. She seems to be a very good candidate. I’m impressed. You have a good eye. I’m proud of you as my son.”\n
“Stop talking nonsense and let’s eat quickly. Fujisaki has been glancing at us for a while now, you know.”\n
“Don’t worry. leave it to me.”\n
The conversation was not going well. My father has already come to a conclusion, and no matter how I try to explain it to him, he will not change his mind. He’s the type of person who makes a lot of assumptions. It can’t be helped.\n
“I’ll show off your good points in this match. I used to attend blind dates 10 days in a row, so I can give you the right assistance. There’s no need to be anxious. If you leave everything to me, I can guarantee you a 100% success rate in marriage.”\n
“There’s a lot I want to say, but I’ll get angry if you say anything else.”\n
“It’s the natural order of things for a man of your age to fall in love with a woman. There’s no need to be shy about it.”\n
“That’s not the point.”\n\n\n
My father went back to the room, keeping his stance that he would follow up if anything happened. I followed him.\n
Fujisaki sat in front of me, my father beside me, and Sayaka sat diagonally from me. When I said “Itadakimasu,” the three of them put their hands together as well.\n
I brought my own spoon to my mouth, but my eyes never left Fujisaki in front of me.\n
Fujisaki held a spoon in her hand. The spoon sank into the curry along with the rice. Then it was brought to Fujisaki’s mouth.\n
Her mouth moved several times. After swallowing, she said, \n\n
“Delicious …….”\n\n
I was relieved to hear those words. Even though I had tasted it, I wasn’t sure if it would suit Fujisaki’s palate.\n\n
“It’s a little different from the curry we eat at home… It’s really good.”\n
“I didn’t do anything unusual, though. I just make it with care.”\n
“You’re really a good cook, aren’t you, Ookusu-kun?”\n\n
I got embarrassed when I was praised head-on. When I cook every day, I discover things little by little. Through the accumulation of these discoveries, I gradually became able to make delicious dishes.\n\n
“Fujisaki-san, right ……?\n
My father, who usually starts eating first, was talking to her with his spoon on the table. There was no hint of mischievousness in his expression.\n
Fujisaki straightened her back.\n
“Yes.”\n
“What do you think of Naoya?”\n
“Bu~fu ……!”\n\n
I almost spit out the tea I was trying to drink. This father has done it.\n\n
