"Why are you here?" Tenku asked confusedly to the person standing in front of her apartnt. The guest who visited his place at night was Setsuka. The girl ca wearing a long blue dress that covered her knees and hid her face with a mask. Tenku felt that Setsuka looked fresher in that outfit.
"Didn't you agree to my dinner invitation?" Setsuka removed the mask on her face and asked back.
"Yes, I did agree. But aren't we going out for dinner tonight? You don't need to bother coming here because I will go to the restaurant after you send the location." Tenku replied.
"Huh? I never said that we're going out for dinner." Setsuka shook her head, and now she was the one who was confused by Tenku's words.
"What you an is..." Tenku was surprised when he heard her sentence. But before he could continue his words, Setsuka cut him off.
"We will have dinner at your apartnt." Setsuka smiled sweetly, and Tenku was srized when he saw that. Fortunately, he quickly regained his senses before Setsuka noticed.
"Hmm..." Tenku didn't know how to respond. He didn't expect Setsuka to want to have dinner at his apartnt. Tenku is happy because he can eat the food she made, but he hesitates when he has to bring Setsuka inside.
Setsuka beca nervous when she saw that Tenku had been silent for a long ti. She thought Tenku didn't like it when Setsuka ca and wanted dinner at his apartnt.
"Don't you want us to have dinner at your apartnt? If so, we can do it elsewhere or at any restaurant you like." Setsuka said frantically because she was afraid that Tenku would cancel their plan.
"No. That is not what I an. You know... you are a girl, and I live in this apartnt alone. Is it okay to co to a man's residence at night? Aren't you afraid that I will do bad things to you?
Moreover, you are the student council president of Suisei High School and the daughter of the current head of Fuyushima Temple. Wouldn't it damage your image if soone finds out?" Tenku said the reason for his hesitation was to allow Setsuka to have dinner together at his apartnt.
"Ooh, so that's what you're worried about? Then you don't need to think about it. I would never have co to this apartnt if I had cared about such matters. After all, I was already wearing a mask to hide my face. So no one would recognize even if I ran into them after leaving this place.
Most importantly, I believe in you. I'm sure that you won't do anything terrible to . But if you want it, I don't mind doing it with you." Setsuka spoke clearly in the first sentence but beca inaudible towards the end.
Her face flushed, and she lowered her head. Setsuka was relieved after hearing Tenku's words. She was secretly happy that he cared about her. Tenku was confused by Setsuka's last sentence but didn't think much of it.
"I understand. If you don't mind, I have nothing more to say. Besides, I already miss your homade food. Well then, co on in. My apartnt is small and a bit ssy. I hope it won't bother you." Tenku smiled slightly and invited Setsuka to enter his apartnt.
"Thank You. You don't have to think about it because I'll be fine anywhere as long as we can have dinner together. I have prepared enough food for us. So even if we have to eat outside, it won't be a problem for ." Setsuka stepped and entered Tenku's apartnt. She was nervous because it was her first ti visiting a man's residence.
When Setsuka entered, she was slightly surprised because the situation inside differed from what she had thought. The inside of Tenku's apartnt was plain and barely decorated. Besides that, the place looked neat and far from the ssy impression of the n's room that Setsuka had imagined.
The atmosphere in Tenku's residence felt calming and made her feel at ho. At first, Setsuka thought about cleaning his apartnt before dinner, but she didn't need to do that now. As she was enjoying the atmosphere of the place, Tenku's voice brought Setsuka back to her senses.
"By the way, how is Kohana's condition?" Tenku suddenly asked.
"Ah, her condition has gotten a lot better now. Thanks to you for saving her and giving her first aid. If you weren't there, I don't know what would have happened to Kohana." Setsuka's face darkened as she thought about that.
"You don't need to thank . I did it for myself because I won't be able to let that little girl get hurt. Then why didn't she co with you?" Tenku asked another question. Setsuka smiled when she heard his statent because she could feel Tenku's concern for her little sister.
"She did insist on coming with here when she found out I wanted to have dinner with you. But I didn't allow it because she still has to rest until she fully recovers. She kept nagging, but I ignored her and left her at ho.
Am I doing the right thing?" Setsuka was worried that Tenku would be angry because she didn't bring Kohana with her. Tenku's relationship is closer to her little sister than hers. That made Setsuka feel a little jealous of Kohana.
"Why do you ask that? You are her older sister and know what is best for her. Besides, what you did was right. Kohana needs to get a lot of rest to recover faster. Plus, the night wind is not good for his current condition." Tenku answered.
"Yes. I'll bring her over here to play once she's completely healed. Is that okay?" Setsuka didn't want to waste the opportunity to be able to visit Tenku's apartnt often.
"Of course, you can take her whenever you have free ti. But you should tell first since I'm rarely in the apartnt." Tenku quickly agreed.
"Thank You! I will convey your words to Kohana. She will be happy after hearing about it." Setsuka replied excitedly. Not only her little sister but Setsuka was also pleased when she heard that.
"That's good. If so, please sit down. I'll make you a drink." Tenku pointed at a small table with two chairs. Setsuka felt that it was perfect for their dinner.
"You don't have to bother to make a drink for because I have brought it with ." Setsuka smiled and walked over to the table. After that, she took out food and drink one by one from her space pocket.
Tenku was dumbfounded when he saw the amount of food served on the table. He knew Setsuka had left Suisei High School before the other students and returned ho with Kohana and her parents.
But the ti gap between Setsuka leaving Suisei High School and coming to his apartnt was only a few hours. Tenku couldn't believe he could make that much food quickly because Setsuka should have other things to do at ho, not just cooking.
(Did she prepare all the food beforehand? No. Even though the food won't spoil when stored in the space pocket, it will get cold. All the food on the table looks still warm and I'm sure it hasn't been cooked for a long ti. In other words, Setsuka made that much in just a few hours)
Tenku looked at Setsuka in awe. Then he shifted his eyes to the food on the table. Tenku saw chicken teriyaki, beef yakiniku, shrimp tempura and many other foods.
"Why are you just standing there silently? Let's eat now." Setsuka sat on one of the chairs and said to Tenku.
"Ah, yes." Tenku replied awkwardly and sat down on the other chair.
"The food this ti looks more special. Are you celebrating sothing? Or sothing good happened to you?" Tenku looked at Setsuka and asked.
"There's nothing special. I'm just in the mood to make all this food. Then, let's eat now while the food is still warm." Setsuka's face turned red, and she dared not look directly at Tenku. She couldn't say she cooked that al for him because she wanted dinner at his apartnt.
"Yes, you're right. In that case..."
"Itadakimasu!" Tenku and Setsuka said simultaneously. After that, the girl quickly got so rice and side dishes for him before he could do it himself.
Tenku wanted to stop her. But after he saw Setsuka's happy face, he let the girl do as she pleased. Tenku felt awkward when he saw their current situation. She subconsciously smiled because Setsuka was acting like a good wife. He thought that they looked like a newlywed couple.
"You have to taste all this food!" Setsuka served a bowl filled with rice and many side dishes before Tenku. Then she took it for herself.
"Thank you. I will eat them all." Tenku nodded and took a bite of one of the side dishes in his bowl.
"Mmm... as usual, the food you make is delicious. I'm lucky to have tasted it. You will beco a very great wife in the future." Tenku praised Setsuka.
"Thank You! In that case, you must eat everything on the table so the food doesn't go to waste." Setsuka blushed when she heard Tenku's words and said in a barely audible voice. Tenku was fascinated because she felt that her behavior was adorable.
"Yes, you also have to eat your food." Tenku pointed at Setsuka's bowl. She was seen only taking a few side dishes from the many foods on the table. Tenku felt that all the food was specially cooked for him.
"Okay." Setsuka nodded, and they started to enjoy their dinner.
Setsuka was very happy because she could have dinner with Tenku at his apartnt. This is a good developnt for their relationship. Setsuka smiled and secretly glanced at Tenku, who was enthusiastically eating the food she had made. She felt satisfied when she saw that.
It didn't take them long to finish their dinner, and most of the food on the table was eaten by Tenku. Setsuka was happy because Tenku liked the food she made and even finished it even though it was a lot.
After Setsuka and Tenku finished their dinner, they sat in the living room. Since there was only one small sofa, they had to sit beside each other.
"This is your tea." Tenku put the tea on the table before Setsuka while Tenku made coffee for himself.
"Thank You." Setsuka smiled sweetly and sipped the tea elegantly. Afterward, she turned her eyes to Tenku.
"I heard what happened between you and Kaede." Setsuka said, and Tenku's face darkened.
"Do you also think the sa as your best friend?" Tenku said coldly, and his mood changed.
