On the other side of the shop.
Erina looked at Aoba, who was chatting animatedly with Kasumigaoka and Rize Kamishiro, and her gaze became somewhat gloomy.
The store manager is always so busy.
I have so many questions I want to ask, but I can never seem to find the right opportunity.
Hisako, standing to the side, would murmur a happy whisper with each bite of her omelet rice.
Although it is impossible to tell what expression is in the narrowed eyes.
But a smile doesn't lie.
At this moment, Hisako is feeling happy and blissful because of the delicious and unique cuisine.
She could clearly detect rose petal fragments in the omelet rice that Aoba made for her.
This is a dish completely different from Erina-sama's.
Seeing her closest person acting this way, Erina sighed silently in her heart.
His cooking had never made Hisako feel so genuinely happy.
A hint of jealousy crept into her heart.
But buried deep in my heart is a faint trace of envy and longing.
if...
Her cooking can make Hisako so happy...
That would be so wonderful...
The girl lowered her eyebrows and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
It looked as if it had been blown by the wind.
Ripples stirred in the lake of my heart.
Chapter 37 Don't come any closer! Used... Absolutely not!!!
Erina left.
She seemed unable to find an opportunity to talk to Aoba tonight.
He simply left with the words, "I'll come again tomorrow."
Oh, one more sentence.
"Pack."
It's a similar scene again.
I packed up the flower cakes I made for Erina.
Before leaving, Senzaemon left behind a bill of over 100,000 yen.
This made Aoba sigh.
Big families are indeed wealthy!
After clearing away the dishes, Aoba sat down at the table in the front hall.
He would do this during his downtime between business hours.
"That young lady is really strange. Every time she orders something, she doesn't eat it and insists on taking it home..."
Kasumigaoka's tone carried a hint of curiosity.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand it either."
After thinking for a moment, Aoba smiled and said those words.
Judging from his interactions with Erina, her "big sister" attitude wasn't very pronounced.
It was perhaps too much respect for him.
It was just cooking, and he was just a chef, so why did it turn into this kind of relationship?
In addition, Erina's own personality is somewhat stubborn, making their interactions even more awkward.
"A large family, huh?"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Rize Kamishiro pondered for a long time, looking at her reflection in the coffee cup.
It was as if they were reminiscing about the past.
There will always be some rules that we have to follow, even though these rules can make people less human.
"Hmm~?"
Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka's eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at Rize Kamishiro, who was quietly sipping her coffee beside him, he asked curiously, "Miss Kamishiro, are you also from a large family?"
"Hmm? Me? Oh, right~."
Kamishiro Rise smiled and nodded.
"However, I left home at a very young age, so I'm not really close to that so-called family."
"Oh, that's a real shame."
"pity?"
"Of course, if you come from a large family, you can invest in me, right? Then I'll write a letter just for you."
"Hahaha~"
The conversation between the two seemed to relax Rize Kamishiro's tense nerves.
Some laughed heartily, not caring much about their image.
She hadn't felt this emotion in a long time.
It seems to be called... Are you happy?
He escaped the Washuu family, was taught survival skills by Kamishiro Sasaki, joined a ghoul organization, hunted, and devoured everything in sight.
It was as if the gloom of the past had been dispelled by a ray of sunshine.
Is it for me to write alone?
That's really a great statement.
If she was prey he had hunted before...
Rize Kamishiro turned her head and looked seriously at Utaha Kasumigaoka, her eyes flashing with a blood-red light.
"Miss Kamishiro, what... what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just find you very interesting..."
"Oh~ that scared me to death."
The girl patted her chest, still shaken, and whispered:
"I just thought you were going to turn into a ghoul and eat me..."
"What? You've seen a ghoul?"
"Yes, I've seen him before, back in school..."
Kasumigaoka then told Rize Kamishiro about her encounter with the prosecutor's office at school.
Aoba, who was sitting at the front desk, smiled helplessly after hearing their conversation.
Oh, young girl!
Be more careful!
That woman just now definitely wanted to eat you!
"Ugh."
"I'm leaving."
Kasumigaoka sighed.
She stood up to indicate that she was leaving.
I originally wanted to talk to Ms. Kamishiro a little longer.
Aoba glanced at the clock on the wall.
It's still a bit early.
There is still some time left before the usual time for Kasumigaoka to leave.
On weekdays, Kasumigaoka would sit here until nine o'clock.
Of course, except for the special situation where the other party was drunk last night.
"Are you going home so early today?"
Aoba asked with a hint of doubt.
"Humph!"
"Miss Kamishiro told me a lot of things, and I feel like I'm having a burst of inspiration. I need to go back and write my manuscript."
Kasumigaoka's eyes lit up, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.
Clearly, he has plenty of confidence in his next submission!
"Then good luck..."
Aoba was speechless for a moment, and finally could only nod slightly with a helpless smile.
To be able to talk so much with an S-class ghoul who is being hunted by the CCG.
The girl might really be the first.
Kasumigaoka snorted, then asked, "How much?"
He slightly raised his chin, his expression conveying a sense of nonchalance.
