"Hmm~~~"
Sitting on the chair, the Great Condor stretched out, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the densely packed results in the homework book, and showed a satisfied smile. I turned on my phone again and looked at the time. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon and almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
When she walked out of her room, the whole room was very quiet. Kotoko Sasaki went out to record a program. It happened that her schedule ended early, so she went home to study for a while. It was almost meal time, and since she had so much free time at home, she was going to cook something by herself instead of buying a discounted lunch box from the supermarket in the refrigerator.
I opened the refrigerator and took a look at the ingredients inside. There were some ribs, some leftover eggplants, peppers and other vegetables.
By the way, she also caught a glimpse of the small cake Sasaki Kotoko put in the refrigerator.
cake...
""No! ! ! ""
In my mind, I couldn't help but recall the scene when Erika Ikuta saw her cake being knocked over on her birthday a few days ago. What she knew was that a girl was crying. What she didn't know was that she thought a pig was being killed, and the scream was extremely cruel.
However, Erika Ikuta is the kind of girl whose emotions come and go quickly. She dropped a few golden beans and was happily treating guests to barbecue in the blink of an eye.
The reason was Saito Asuka's sudden move, otherwise she would not have been able to throw the cake away, but thinking of this, and thinking of Erika Ikuta who was so aggrieved and crying at that time, the Great Condor still felt a little guilty towards her.
She thought for a while, should she make some compensation?
I closed the refrigerator, took out my phone, clicked on LINE, and found the window of Erika Ikuta.
"Are you free tonight?"
"Yes." "What for?"
Within a few seconds, Erika Ikuta replied to the message, so fast that the Great Condor had to suspect that she was holding her phone.
"Let's have a meal together."
"you please?"
"Um."
"Okay! You decide the place, boss."
"Then I'll go to your house soon."
"? Wait, aren't you eating out?"
"your home."
"My house...is a little messy..."
"It doesn't matter."
"Let's change places. How about we go eat barbecue? I haven't used the coupon you gave me last time."
"Didn't you tell me to decide the place? Just wait, I'll be there in a while."
"All right..."
Invite her to barbecue? Unless there is something wrong with the Great Condor, she will not easily invite a foodie like Erika Ikuta to eat at such an expensive restaurant.
===================================
Although they both live in Tokyo, the distance between their homes is still quite far. It takes twenty minutes by car. According to the address on the phone, the Great Condor carried the lunch boxes in both hands and found Erika Ikuta's address. Home.
Speaking of which, this was her first time as a guest at Erika Ikuta's home. The two of them usually met during working hours, and they rarely spent time alone in private. The Great Condor is not worried at all that the two of them will be embarrassed when they are alone. She has experienced Ikuta Erika's ability to speak well. Anyone can be silent, but Ikuta Erika cannot.
It’s better to say that sometimes it’s too noisy.
"Dong dong dong."
"はい, はい, here we come!"
Through the door, the Great Condor heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside.
"Click~"
"Yo, Eagle."
The door was opened, and Erika Ikuta held the door handle. After seeing the big condor, she said hello, panting as if she had just finished running.
"Yo...are you okay?"
"It's okay, please come in."
Erika Ikuta invited the great condor into the house and closed the door.
"Hey, I didn't expect that your room is quite... girly."
"I'm just a girl."
Putting her shoes in the entrance hall, the Great Condor walked into her room. As soon as she entered, a light and elegant fragrance hit her face.
Erika Ikuta rents a single apartment. The area is not large, but the interior layout is quite warm. The room is a living room, and the partition is a bathroom. There is a kitchen, but she doesn't look like a cook. Man, the furnishings in the house are mostly in light colors, but the sheets and pillowcases on the bed are all pink, and there are also many dolls and toys, which makes the whole room feel like it is dyed with girly pink.
"Haha, that's true. You must be hungry, Nu, it's still warm."
The Great Condor placed the insulated lunch box on the table.
"Did you buy it?"
Erika Ikuta, who closed the door and followed her into the house, also knelt down and sat in front of the small table, looking at the several lunch boxes in front of her and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"No, I did."
"You...you made it?" Erika Ikuta frowned, "Can it be eaten...or let's go have barbecue."
"What do you mean, I'm not you. I finally cooked the food myself, but you still don't want to eat it?"
The Great Condor suddenly became angry. You know, although her cooking skills are not top-notch, it is more than enough to be among the top few in the idol group Nogizaka.
"No, no, it definitely doesn't mean that. Eagle Sauce made it for me personally, so I must taste it."
Thinking of the scene where she was being taught by the Great Condor in the lounge, Erika Ikuta still dared to say the word "no".
Opening the lunch box, the rich aroma penetrated her nose. The aroma traveled along the nasal cavity and spread from the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb.
As a foodie, her first impression was that these things were absolutely delicious.
"I'm gonna start now!"
Opening the lunch box, Erika Ikuta picked up her chopsticks and started eating without any courtesy.
Da Shenying made three dishes and one soup for her, including pork stuffed with green peppers, pork ribs with black bean sauce, braised eggplant and a lean mushroom and tofu soup. She spent a lot of energy and time in making these. Afraid that Erika Ikuta would not have enough to eat, she deliberately packed some more rice.
"おいしい! (Delicious!)"
Erika Ikuta's mouth was stuffed with food, while she was chewing it and praising its deliciousness incomprehensibly, her eyes were so wide that she would have popped out of her mouth if they had not been restrained by their sockets.
"Is it that exaggerated..."
The great condor held the chopsticks, but he didn't move at all.
"Hmm~~~"
Erika Ikuta held chopsticks in her hands, dancing like a child. Then she launched her gust of wind mode. In the end, she didn't know whether it was because the Great Condor didn't cook enough, or whether Erika Ikuta ate too much. The Great Condor didn't even take a few bites, and there was already no food left on the plate. Not much.
"I'm full~"
Erika Ikuta touched her belly and lay stretched out on the carpet.
"You can really eat it."
After finishing the rice in his bowl, the Great Condor also put down his chopsticks.
"Hehe. Ah, sorry, I ate too much by myself."
Erika Ikuta realized later that she had just enjoyed herself and the big condor didn't even take a few bites.
"Well, it doesn't matter, I don't eat as much as you do." She said this, but she was really not full, "I don't know who will be so unlucky as to marry you in the future, and I will have to spend a lot of money on food every day. "
"Don't talk nonsense. I just ate too much today. Who told you to make it so delicious?"
"Oh, you still blame me?"
"It's your fault."
"Okay, it's my fault and I won't do it for you again."
"do not!"
"Don't you blame me?"
"Blame it on me, it's my fault, Ying, Ying-chan, Ying-sister! Please make me delicious food in the future too!"
"Hey, can you have some dignity?"
"Dignity is meaningless in front of food."
"..."
Erika Ikuta hugged the big condor's leg and would not let go no matter how hard she struggled, begging bitterly.
"Wow~"
I don't know when, the raindrops outside the window frequently hit the glass and made a sound. Just listening to the sound of rain outside, I knew that it was raining heavily.
"Why is it still raining? I see there is no rain in the weather forecast today." The Great Condor muttered.
"Come on, you're not sleeping outside."
Erika Ikuta said indifferently.
"I can't go back. It's raining so hard that the car won't even be able to get there."
"Then...what should we do?"
"Well...if that's okay, can I stay at your house for the night?"
When Erika Ikuta heard what the Great Condor said, she reacted very quickly. She stood up against the wall with her legs inverted, crossed her hands to protect her chest, and looked at her warily: "What do you want to do?"
"...What do I want to do?" The Great Condor didn't quite understand what Erika Ikuta's reaction meant, "It's raining so hard, I can't go home."
"That...that..."
"Stop that. If that doesn't work, I'll go back in the rain. I won't be dead if the wind blows."
The Great Condor doesn't want to embarrass others.
"No, just stay here. I, I'll prepare a bath for you."
Erika Ikuta hesitated for a while and decided to keep the great condor.
Watching Erika Ikuta walk to the bathroom, Ogami took out his cell phone and sent a text message to his manager. Because he had to shoot the MV tomorrow, and he would not be sleeping at home tonight, he had to inform him in advance and pick him up at Erika Ikuta's house tomorrow morning. she.
After eating, the two of them took turns washing up. The girl naturally washed up slowly. Plus, she applied facial masks and skin care in a mess. After finishing it, it was time to go to bed.
Erika Ikuta didn't have extra bedding at home to make the floor for her, so the two of them slept on the bed together. The bed was not big, but it was just big enough for the two of them to lie down together, shoulder to shoulder, but Erika Ikuta had another problem. Moved to the bed.
"Good night then."
Lights went out.
The Great Condor lay flat on the bed and slowly closed her eyes. In order to work tomorrow, she must try to ensure enough sleep.
They could hear no other sound in the room except each other's breathing.
"eagle."
After a while, Erika Ikuta broke the silence first.
"Um?"
"Can I ask you a question."
"ask."
"You...um..."
Erika Ikuta hesitated and couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
"If you don't ask, go to sleep."
"Ask!" In the darkness, Erika Ikuta kept rubbing her little hands outside the quilt, looking very nervous, "Taka, do you like girls?"
"ah?"
