A Very Popular Idol Classmate Has Taken a Liking to Me, A Person Who Doesn't Want to Work for Whole Life.
Daininki Idol na Classmate ni Natsukareta, Isshou Hatarakitakunai Ore
Act 1 - The Hungry Idol Part
5-2
I held the knife and cut the ingredients on the cutting board.
I had gotten carried away and bought meat and seafood today.
I also bought some vegetables that I didn't usually buy, so from the supermarket staff's point of view, it would have been obvious that I was about to cook a feast.
Humming to myself, I put the salmon fillets, scallops, thinly sliced carrots, onions, and shimeji mushrooms on a sheet of aluminum foil, topped it with more butter, and poured soy sauce over it. After wrapping them in aluminum foil and baking them into the oven.
Next, fry the seafood and vegetables such as finely chopped onions and garlic on a pan.
When the squid, which is a type of seafood, was slightly browned and the onions start to become transparent, I added the crushed tomatoes and cook them down as if they were draining off the water.
Then I added shrimps and scallions, water, salt, and saffron to make the soup.
As the flavor of the seafood began to seep out, I removed the larger pieces of seafood and soaked the uncooked rice in the soup.
After the soup was gone, the paella was ready.
In the time it took for the paella to be ready, I prepared a salad of mainly lettuce.
Then I started to grill the spare ribs that I had marinated before Yuzuki-sensei's arrival on a separate stove. I soaked the marinade with a little water, and finally cooked them lightly before placing them on a plate.
That's the four dishes.
I decided to make one more soup, so I cut the bacon and onions into bite-sized pieces, boiled them, and added the consommé base.
The consommé soup was now complete.
I was quite pleased with the results of these dishes.
I may have cooked a little too much, but Rei's stomach should be able to handle it to some extent.
"Mmm, did you just think of something a little rude?" (Rei)
"Haha, what are you talking about, Rei? Of course not, right?" (Rintaro)
"Mmm...... that so?" (Rei)
What's with this lass? Is she an esper?
I finished the dishes with a nonchalant attitude.
I garnished the paella with lemon, and seasoned the soup and spare ribs with salt and pepper.
I checked the heat of the baked foil, made sure the salmon meat was tender, and put it on the plate.
"Alright......, this is about right, I guess." (Rintaro)
I finished tasting it and confirmed that there was no need for any touch.
And just at that moment, the intercom rang.
It seemed that the two had arrived.
"Rei, let them in." (Rintaro)
"Okay." (Rei)
Leaving Rei to deal with the two, I laid out the finished dishes on the table in front of the sofa.
I set out plates and glasses for the four of us.
I felt a sense of accomplishment that I had done a good job.
Just as I was about to make a gut-punch, I heard the sound of slippers coming from the entrance.
"Rintaro, I'm here." (Kanon)
"Sorry for the intrusion." (Mia)
"This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there, kay~"
I gulped when I saw Kanon and Mia appear in the living room.
Kanon was wearing a t-shirt that showed her shoulders and ripped jeans. She had her hair tied up in a knot before, but now it was down, making her look more mature.
Mia wore a thin hoodie over a sleeveless top and hot pants. She wore a light hoodie over her sleeveless top and hot pants, which made her well-fleshed thighs visible up to the base of her thighs, causing me to have some trouble looking at her.
It was the same kind of shock I had when I first saw Rei's casual clothes or her lesson clothes.
Come to think of it――――it must be rare to have a chance to see idols in their normal clothes, right?
"This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there, kay~"
"Why are you staring at me like that? You're smitten on me in my casual clothes?" (Kanon)
"Just until a second ago." (Rintaro)
"Eh!? Why? Why aren't you smitten right now?" (Kanon)
That's the point――――I swallowed the words
It won't help.
"It smells delicious. Did you make all those dishes on the desk?" (Kanon)
"Yeah. I got excited about the new kitchen. I might have cooked a little too much." (Rintaro)
"I don't have a problem with it. Today is a day off, so I didn't have a lesson today, but I have been exercising more than normally I do. I'm confident that I can eat more than the average athlete." (Kanon)
"If that' s the case, no problem. Then wash your hands and get on the couch. Before the dishes get cold." (Rintaro)
The girls, including Rei, washed their hands and sat down on the couch.
I put the chair I had for my study desk in front of them and sat down on it.
"Since you said you'd cook for us, I brought some snacks that I could pick up at random. Here are the macaroons that are popular in front of the station." (Kanon)
Then Kanon put a paper bag with a cute wrapping on the table.
At least from my point of view, macarons are not a snack that can be picked up at random. Aren't they supposed to be some kind of sweets or chocolates?
"I guess we're on the same page. I've also brought an assortment of cream puffs. I was wondering if you could keep them chilled for me." (Mia)
Another stylish box was placed in front of me.
Both of them bought something that looked expensive...... and the fact that they called this something that could be picked at random was unthinkable for the average person.
"I've prepared a drink. 100% tangerine juice from Wakayama Prefecture." (Rei)
Rei brought out two bottles of tangerine juice from my refrigerator and laid them out on the table, just like the ones the two of us had brought.
I just checked the price of this juice, and it's more expensive than I expected.
"Well, since it's a party, let's have a toast with Rei's juices. I'll pour." (Mia)
Mia poured the juice into our glasses, making sure it was evenly distributed.
We each took a glass and clinked together.
"Cheers."
"Cheeeeers!"
"Mm, Cheers."
"......Cheers."
"This is a Translation Content of pemudatunawisata[dot]my[dot]id. so, read only on there, kay~"
The sound of clinking glasses echoed through the room.
The tangerine juice was much richer than I had imagined, and it had a sweet and sour taste that made me wonder what I had been drinking all those years.
"...... So, Rintaro made this paella too?" (Kanon)
"Ah? Well, yes." (Rintaro)
"I feel like I've lost so much." (Kanon)
"You can't cook, Kanon?" (Rintaro)
"It's not that I can't cook. I have a younger brother and sister, so I used to help my parents cook simple things. But since I became an idol, I've been too busy to cook anything." (Kanon)
"If you can, isn't it good already?" (Rintaro)
"But I can't make it up to the quality they serve in restaurants like these! These are really delicious!" (Kanon)
"Thank you. It was worth making when you said that." (Rintaro)
I was grateful for her honest feedback as always, and I took another bite of my cook.
The paella was so good that I really wanted to praise myself.
The rice in the paella was soaked in the flavor of the seafood, and I couldn't stop my chopsticks once I had a piece of the grilled salmon.
The spareribs unraveled in my mouth and disappeared as if they were melting.
"Mmm...... I can't help but be jealous of Rei. You get to eat Rintaro-kun's cook every day, right?" (Mia)
"Yup. That's the contract." (Rei)
"I envy you. Can I borrow him for a while?" (Mia)
"No. Rintaro is mine." (Rei)
"You stingy." (Mia)
"I'm not." (Rei)
What are these girls talking about——
More importantly, I don't even remember being Rei's.
"...... Well, I'll give up for now. But before that, I'd like to ask Rintaro-kun's opinion. Why don't you come to my place instead of Rei's?" (Mia)
"Sorry, but I don't want to. I have a bad feeling about you, even worse than Rei." (Rintaro)
"Eee, I'm not going to do anything, though." (Mia)
"If you say so, stop that smirk on your face......." (Rintaro)
If you showed me that you were obviously planning something, I would be wary even if I didn't want to.
It's not that I don't like Mia, but unlike Rei, it's hard to read her mind.
I don't know how to put it, but I have a feeling that――――if I get involved with this lass, I will get into a lot of trouble.
