Chapter 38 The Moon and You

"I'm back, Sayu."

"Welcome back." Sayu walked out of the kitchen with a smile, looked at the empty hallway, and turned his head away, "Yusuke...?"

wow...

There was a sudden sound of the shower head rushing in the bathroom, and through the frosted glass on the door, Sayu Ogihara could vaguely see a hazy figure.

"Hey, Yusuke, are you taking a shower?" she asked, knocking on the door.

"Oh!" Kato Yusuke's response came from inside: "I'm sorry I took a shower, you can eat dinner first without waiting for me."

"That's it, then I'll heat up the rice, and Yusuke will wash it slowly."

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Kato Yusuke sighed, threw the uniform he took off into the washing machine, poured some blue laundry detergent, then closed the door and turned on the power.

After confirming that the machine was running correctly, he walked into the bathroom with a bath towel.

"call……"

After rinsing the sweat off his body, Kato Yusuke lay down in the bathtub with his limbs spread out.

The water temperature was just right, and the misty environment made him relax unconsciously.

"I didn't take a bath very often before..." Kato Yusuke, who had a towel on his head, muttered lazily to himself.

While talking, he picked up a handful of water from the bathtub with his hands and poured it on his face, his facial features stretched out.

Because he found it troublesome, he used to shower most of the time to clean his body. Even if he took a bath occasionally, he would go to the public bathhouse. He would never choose to boil water at home. After all, he didn't have the patience.

But that was before... Now whether he is after school or get off work, he can enjoy hot meals and bath water every day when he comes home. There will be someone who will prepare all of this intimately and wait for him to go home with peace of mind. .

""There is too much seat at home"...why..."

Inexplicably, the words I heard from others chatting appeared in my mind. At this time, there was a little more substantive understanding.

The bathroom was filled with a faint citrus smell, and the clear water rippled in circles as his body moved.

"She's already washed..." Kato Yusuke murmured, laying his head down on his back, and putting a wrung hot towel on his face, exposing only the area below his nose.

After a long time, a soft sigh sounded in the bathroom.

"The caregiver and the careee have turned back..."

...

after bath

Kato Yusuke, who put on his pajamas, walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair with a dry towel.

"Has it been washed?"

Sayu, who was sitting at the table, looked over with his hands on his cheeks, and there was a dinner for two in front of him.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first?" Kato Yusuke walked over.

"But dinner will be delicious only if you eat it together." Sayu said with a grin, removing the plastic wrap from the food one by one.

Salt-grilled saury, pickled radish, a bowl of rice and miso soup sprinkled with chopped green onion.

This is dinner for two.

The combination of meat and vegetables, soup and vegetables, although it looks simple, it gives people a warm feeling.

"Because the grilled fish uses a lot of salt, I made the miso soup a little lighter today. I don't know if it suits your taste."

While speaking, Sayu handed Kato Yusuke's chopsticks to him.

"Try it."

"Thank you." Kato Yusuke nodded, "Then I'll start."

He first drank a taste of the soup, the green chopped green onion and the brown soup entered his mouth together, tasted it with the tip of his tongue for a while, and then swallowed it, Kato Yusuke found that the taste was indeed lighter than usual.

He took another piece of fish and put it in his mouth. The white fish melted on the tip of his tongue, and the salty taste with the smell of the sea came with it. The fish belt was a little crispy,

It tasted very chewy and at the same time complemented the medium-grain sea salt, which made him exclaim in admiration.

"good to eat."

A soft smile appeared on Sayu's face.

"That's great," she said softly, then folded her hands on her chest, "Then I'll start."

Using chopsticks, I sipped a small piece of fish meat into my mouth, and chewed it in small mouthfuls, after a while.

"Hmm - it's so rough (eat)."

"Right?" Kato Yusuke smiled, "I have to say that you are really good at cooking."

As soon as the words fell, Sayu relaxed and showed a shy smile.

"You can compliment me a little more," she said.

Kato Yusuke did not hesitate to give praise, "Well, the world's number one."

"It's really casual!"

Sayu giggled and put the rice and fish into his mouth.

"Do you have time on Sunday?"

Kato Yusuke asked.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Sayu was puzzled.

Kato Yusuke drank another flavored soup, "If you don't have any arrangements, let's go shopping together in the nearby shopping mall."

A pair of beautiful eyes widened suddenly.

"Is this a date?" she asked, blinking.

Kato Yusuke took a bite of the pickled radish, and said without answering, "Will you go?"

"Go—!" It seemed that he agreed without thinking for a moment, and then he seemed to realize that something was wrong. Sayu looked away from the face of the man opposite, stared at the table and whispered, "I'm going..."

"Really." Kato Yusuke's eyes showed a smile, "That's settled, I will ask for leave tomorrow for part-time jobs."

"Um!"

Sayu nodded vigorously, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Seeing this, Kato Yusuke held up the bowl and took another bite of the pickled radish to hide his smile.

The crispy radish was bitten into pieces, and after swallowing it, there was still a little sweetness between the lips and teeth, which was very strange.

This radish is so delicious...

Kato Yusuke thought so.

I don't know whether the food is delicious or the people are delicious. After all, it is delicious.

...

after eating

Kato Yusuke stacked the dishes and prepared to help Sayu clean up together.

"Ah, no need, no need." Sayu hurriedly blocked: "Yusuke, just go and rest."

Kato Yusuke shook his head: "Would it be faster for two people to do it together than one person?"

"That's right..." Sayu shook his head, "But that's not what you said!"

She hurriedly came up, pushed Kato Yusuke to sit on the bed, and said in a reproachful tone, "I agreed to be responsible for the housework, right?"

"I'm just helping a little, don't be so exaggerated." Kato Yusuke said with a wry smile, and then stood up, "I don't have anything to do now anyway."

"No way!" Sayu angrily pushed him back on the bed, and then, "Eh, ahhhhh!"

puff

The world suddenly fell silent.

The sound of their breathing echoed in their ears one after another, and they could clearly feel the temperature on each other's body as they pressed against the skin.

Mint and citrus notes intertwine.

Sayu raised his head gently, and the strands of hair that fell on his shoulders fell lightly with the force of gravity, brushing Kato Yusuke's nose, making him feel a little itchy.

Under the dim light, the eyes of the two met, quietly watching themselves in each other's eyes.

Maybe it lasted ten seconds, or it seemed like it lasted a few minutes.

Kato Yusuke opened his mouth, just about to say something.

"Huh..."

The mouth was filled with the soft lips that had invaded, and the words that followed became meaningless words.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

The girl whose face was dyed red looked fixedly at him, her amber eyes filled with water vapor, and she put her head gently on the boy's chest, and murmured, "...mine."

The teenager was silent, just looking up at the ceiling and lying on the bed, with one hand wrapped around her waist.

After a while, a low male voice sounded in the room. Susu's, again with a bit of magnetism.

"Sayu."

"Um……"

"What was that just now?"

"make a mark……"

The girl said lazily, her head full of blue silk sprinkled on the boy's chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat.

After a long time, the boy spoke again.

"That's not right."

"What's wrong...?" The girl raised her head, "You don't like it?"

"Yeah." The boy nodded.

The girl's eyes turned red immediately, and the water vapor in her eyes condensed into tears, swirling in her eye sockets.
