LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 68: Where to?
“But I don’t think Sei-chan and Hisamura-kun have kissed yet. Sei-chan is a good and pure hearted girl and Hisamura-kun seems like the type to accommodate her properly.”
“Y-Yes, of course. It’s a little early to be kissing just after two weeks of dating, isn’t it?”
“Hmm, but if I were to go out with Shigemoto-kun, I’d want to kiss him on the first day itself.”
“R-Really..?!”
Rinke never thought that Shiho, who looked so innocent and serious, would say such a thing so casually.
“Well, I guess it depends on the person, and maybe those two have already kissed. Maybe they’re doing it right now.”
“R-Right…”
Rinke imagined it and her face turned even redder.
“Ah, Sorry, Rinke, I said something strange, didn’t I?”
“N-No, it’s fine.”
“But they haven’t done it yet. If they did, I would definitely be able to tell from Sei-chan’s expressions itself.”
“What an amazing ability to have, but Shimada-san probably doesn’t like it that much.”
“She’s not very good at hiding things like that.”
Shiho gave a small grin while Rinke chuckled.
“In the meantime, I think Hisamura-kun has already finished consoling her. Let’s go pick them up…”
“Well, are you going?”
“Fufu, If you haven’t finished consoling your girlfriend on time, it’s your fault, Hisamura-kun. If you already consoled her and furthered it along. I will watch it with gutso.”
“L-Let’s go ahead and watch.”
“It’s okay Rinke-chan, I’m sure that they just kissed.”
“E-Eh? W-We’re really going?”
While Rinke was puzzled, Shiho and Tojoin put down their cooking utensils and started to leave the kitchen.
“Worst of all, if things between them have really gone ahead, so be it. This is my house, so it’s their fault..”
“I don’t think that’s true. Rinke, if you don’t want to see that kind of scene with your brother, you don’t have to come”
“…! I’m coming!”
“Fufu, So Rinke-san also likes these kinds of things too.”
“N-No I don’t.”
With that, the three of them opened the door to the kitchen, walked out into the hallway, and headed for the door of the next room.
A few steps away was the door, and Tojoin opened it with no hesitation at all.
Behind her, Shiho peeked inside curiously, and Rinke peeked in a little hesitantly.
“What are you two doing here?”
Tojoin said, looking at Sei and Hisamura in the preparation room.
They both turned their backs to each other a few meters away, their faces bright red.
Hisamura turned to Tojoin and the others, who had entered the room. Looking upset, he said.
“Ah, uh, w-we were just looking for the bento boxes, like you said.”
“Well, it looks like you’re done looking for the bento boxes.”
There were several bento boxes on the table by the door.
Hisamura and Sei must have found it in this room and placed it there beforehand.
“Y-Yeah, how many do you want us to bring?”
“Two should suffice, It’s nice that you guys were looking for it. But I don’t really need a big one.”
“Ah, Haha, of course.”
“So would it be out of line to ask what you two were doing after finding the bento box?”
Tojoin asked teasingly with a grin.
It’s a little hard to find a bento box in this big room with all the big cooking utensils, but it shouldn’t be that hard to find.
It’s not a task that will take more than ten minutes, that’s for sure.
But it had been more than enough time since Hisamura and Sei had been alone in this room.
“Ahhhh, uhhhh…”
Hisamura blushed a little and glanced at Sei-chan.
Sei-chan also glanced at Hisamura at the same time and they both looked away from each other with great intensity.
“We were just talking, right, Sei-chan?”
“R-Right, W-We were just talking.”
“Oh- I see…”
“Fufu, I see..”
“……”
Tojoin, Fujise, and Rinke all had one thing on their minds – something was wrong.
I’m sure they were flirting in this room, but something must have happened that caused a development in their relationship.
Otherwise, the two of them wouldn’t be behaving so suspiciously.
The question is, how far have they gone?
Tojoin and Fujise looked at each other for a moment, then took a quick look at the two of them.
Sei-chan’s clothes didn’t look particularly dishevelled.
If Sei-chan’s clothes had been disheveled, They would have judged that he had gone much further, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
On a closer look, Fujise, her best friend noticed.
(Her hair looks a little messier, Which means…! She was getting headpatted!)
(Oh, really?)
(But I wonder if that’s enough to make them so flustered. What do you think, Tojoin?)
(I thought they would at least kiss, but there doesn’t seem to be any lipstick on Hisamura-kun’s lips.)
(No, Sei-chan only wears lip balm, so she may…)
(I see, I’m jealous. She has such plump lips with only lip balm.)
(He’s lucky to be able to kiss her, or maybe he already has.)
The two of them talked almost telepathically, enhancing a convo with only eye contact.
Rinke was the only one whose cheeks were blushing as she imagined how far Hisamura and Sei had gone in her head.
“O-Okay, so this lunchbox is fine right?”
“Y-Yeah, if it’s all right, let’s head back to the kitchen.”
Hisamura and Sei wanted to leave the room as soon as possible, and so they took the two lunch boxes and tried to leave the room as quickly as possible.
It seemed that something had happened after all.
(Fufu, I think I’ll call Sei-chan tonight, and ask her about what happened today.)
(Good hobby Honey. I’ll go check the security cameras later.)
(Don’t you have an even more amazing hobby than me? Send it to me later Tojoin-san,)
(All right.)
They were romantic rivals, but they were also surprisingly very compatible with each other, so much so that they could converse with each other just by looking at each other.
After that, Fujise’s culinary training continued, but they all knew that the atmosphere between Hisamura and Sei had become really awkward.
