"What's wrong? Haruhi." Seeing the stunned Kasuga Youran, Onodera Reiko seemed a little panicked, "I think the two of us can't eat too much food, and it will be wasted by then..."
His voice became softer and softer, and finally he lowered his head without confidence. Yes, for a young master from such a big family, two dishes and one soup must be very unappetizing...
"ah?"
Facing Mrs. Onodera who was blaming herself, Kasuga Youran, who had come back to her senses, quickly waved her hand to express that she was okay, "It's okay, it's okay, that's good. I usually hate those wasteful people."
For a moment, the words education and etiquette appeared in Onodera Reiko's mind, and she looked at the older boy with an extra bit of curiosity.
You must be saying this just to comfort yourself, right?
"I'll serve the rice."
The handsome guy in Kasuga showed a smile, took the bowls and chopsticks, and started to help. He couldn't help it, he was hungry...
Night has completely fallen, and the little bit of holy light shed by the moon is no match for the neon lights on the streets of Tokyo. People living in this international metropolis seem to have no concept of the night.
The Kasuga family's large villa made a rare contribution to the city's power department on this night.
The empty living room was lit with soft lighting, dispelling the fear in people's hearts. Food that looked very good in color was placed on the dining table.
Two bowls of rice, a plate of fried tempura, a plate of vegetable salad and two bowls of flavored soup, this is dinner for two people tonight.
"Please use it."
Onodera Reiko, who had changed out of her apron, handed over a pair of chopsticks, obviously wanting to let the landlady taste them first.
"Then I'm welcome." Kasuga took the chopsticks leisurely, looked at it, and finally picked up a piece of tempura. The fish was fried to a golden color, and there was a faint smell of meat in the air.
Under the expectant gaze of Onodera Reiko, she put the tempura into her mouth. For a moment, Kasuga Youran felt like she was being lit up, and her eyes couldn't help but open a little wider.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it's crunchy when you bite into it, and the rich aroma explodes in your mouth instantly.
One tempura for two mouthfuls,
Mrs. Onodera looked nervous,
"How's it going? Does it suit the taste?" It's the first time I'm cooking for my landlord. Although I've been working hard on it, I don't know if it suits the young master's eating habits.
"tasty!"
Kasuga leisurely extended her thumb and gave her most pertinent evaluation.
I have to say that my wife is very good at cooking, and she doesn't give in to the taste of those izakayas outside.
Hearing these words, Onodera Reiko breathed a sigh of relief. It was a happy thing to be recognized by others.
It was quiet during the meal. Madam seemed a little reserved when she first arrived, and Kasuga Youran didn't particularly like talking during the meal, so the atmosphere was a bit silent.
Finally, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, Onodera Reiko stretched out her beautiful fingers to comb her hair, revealing her delicate and beautiful face.
He opened his mouth, looked at Chunri Youran opposite who was eating deliciously, and then slowly said,
"By the way, Mr. Kasuga, I seem to remember hearing you mention that I am the second tenant, right?"
Kasuga took a leisurely sip of the flavored soup and felt a lot more comfortable, "The first tenant..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sudden "meow meow meow~" coming from the second floor.
As if it was the protagonist's final appearance, Onodera Reiko couldn't help but look up and saw an orange figure flashing through the gap between the railings from time to time. The wide gap could not allow its full appearance to be revealed, which showed how fat the figure of the visitor was.
The chubby orange cat appeared at the stairs on the second floor, looking up at the two people sitting in the living room with his plump face, looking down at the two people sitting in the living room. His big eyes revealed curiosity about Reiko Onodera.
Not only it, but Onodera Reiko also looked at the fat cat curiously.
Walking on two short legs, he walked slowly downstairs.
Under Onodera's slightly surprised gaze, Kasuga smiled leisurely and said, "This fat cat is the first tenant, barbecue."
"Huh?" After coming back to her senses, Reiko also showed a smile, "Mr. Kasuga is really interesting and caring."
I thought it was because Kasuga Youran regarded this fat cat as a family member, and she had said such words before. I didn't expect that my little landlady was not only handsome, but also such a delicate person at heart.
Kasuga smiled leisurely and said nothing. Barbecue could bring him a steady income of four thousand yen every day, and he had to rely on this "golden pig" to support himself.
"Would you like to take the barbecue down?"
Watching the clumsy Yakiniku slowly going downstairs, Onodera Reiko asked worriedly, fearing that the fat cat would roll down the stairs in a hurry, without any agility of a feline.
The cats in the city are different. If they were placed in the countryside, they would starve to death within two days.
"It's okay, let it come down by itself. Whether the amount of exercise can meet the standard today depends on these two trips back and forth."
Kasuga Youran was a little helpless, "I'm almost fat like a pig."
As if hearing someone talking about him, Roast Barbecue let out a dissatisfied "meow", but he was really powerless, which made him fall into deep self-doubt. Could it be that this is all Meow's life can do? Do you really want to lose weight?
He seemed to be recalling his life before he came to this villa. He was flying up and down the walls, with an elegant figure, and he looked like a handsome cat. How could he...
After walking down the stairs, Yakiniku waggled his tail around Mrs. Onodera, carefully looking at the guy who was trying to steal his meal.
He didn’t know what he was thinking about with his round eyes.
Originally, the role of fat cats was to attract the attention of beautiful girls, but Mrs. Onodera's age was such that she was more or less resistant to these cute things.
However, she knew that she was now living under someone else's roof, and she had to accept everything the landlord had to offer, including the existence of this fat cat.
"What kind of job are you planning to find, Sister Reiko?"
As if opening the topic, Kasuga asked slowly and leisurely. If possible, he hoped that Onodera Reiko could find a position with a high salary. After all, he could get more.
"I..." Upon hearing this, Onodera Reiko became a little troubled, and the food on the table seemed to be no longer fragrant. "I plan to take a look around tomorrow."
With no education and no skills, it is really difficult to live in this city.
However, she is confident that the future will get better and better. The rent is really cheap, which saves a lot of expenses.
