Chapter 13: Snack made by Mei

Previously, Mei had invited himself to look for her half an hour later than usual.

Kouro didn't think much of it, after all today was a school day, maybe she had something busy during that time.

Kouro didn't waste his time either, he went to the Grocery store to buy an unsharpened metal knife.

It wasn't a weapon he prepared to deal with honkai, it was just for training.

After all Ordinary Weapons can't be carriers of houkai energy at all, and their sharpness shouldn't be enough to break the defenses of Honkai monsters.

With this metal knife he can practice Hokushin Itto-ryu swordsmanship more efficiently than using a bamboo sword.

It was this knife that Kouro would use when training alone in the dormitory.

As for practicing swordsmanship with Mei, of course still using the bamboo sword, after all at this time Mei was still an ordinary person, using metal swords was still too dangerous, so using it while training together was not a wise move.

And when Kouro sneaked into Senba academy with more advanced moves--

"I made this dish, see if it suits your taste."

Mei took out a dessert called Strawberry daifuku wagashi, from her lunch box.

The outer layer is Mochi which is chewy and soft, then inside is Strawberry covered with sweet red bean paste (Anko) .

It seemed Mei had specially postponed the time of the previous meeting to prepare this.

Seeing the four Strawberry daifuku in the box, which were slightly larger than an adult's palm, Kouro was surprised and looked the girl in the eye.

It was as deep as ever, with a smile and comforting gentleness.

"What's wrong? have you eaten dinner, is your stomach still full?"

Seeing that Kouro didn't directly taste her Strawberry Daifuku but only looked at herself, Mei asked this question with a bit of worry.

"No, I haven't had dinner yet, so I'm a little hungry."

Kouro shook his head, then took the snack and put it directly into his mouth.

Feel the sweet, smooth and chewy feeling, with the refreshing fruity aroma of Strawberry.

For kouro who from childhood only ate special foods that had no taste, the sweetness contained in this daifuku sublime his numb tongue, which made kouro's actions stop. 

He really hoped that one day, he would be able to eat Mei's cooking without any pressure, and live a leisurely life.

After seeing Kouro eating his Strawberry daifuku, Mei felt a little nervous.

Even though she was confident in her cooking skills, she was still a little worried.

Maybe men's tastes are slightly different from women's, which makes Mei nervous.

Did her homemade sweet treat really satisfy Kouro's taste buds?

"Taste... "

"It tastes very good, Thank you."

Thanks to this Strawberry Daifuku and Mei's feelings contained within it, gave Kouro another reason to become stronger.

In the original trajectory, Mei who became herrscher will not be destroyed as an enemy and die, because she is one of the protagonists, but now with his existence the original trajectory is not absolute

Kouro doesn't want the future to be worse because of him, he also doesn't want to keep the original future, he just wants to make a better future.

Kouro's thanks had a deep meaning.

If he reproduced his expressions and mannerisms in Tachikawa's academy class, his classmates would surely be very excited, and might even produce some kind of fanatical fanbase to the level of a yandere.

However, in Mei's eyes, this gratitude was not as simple and pure as she imagined.

Mei felt that apart from gratitude, the pressure on Kouro didn't seem to be decreasing, but increasing.

Kouro is indeed acting well, the sequence of words and behavior from the beginning until now is no problem.

Even his gentle tone and smile that contained many meanings made Mei feel like Kouro wanted to confess to her.

But Mei felt that this was not the case, she was very sensitive to other people's emotions because of her previous experience.

She could feel that Kouro had no ill will towards her, but had a lot of good intentions as if she and Kouro had been friends for years, but were suppressed by something, which made Kouro's behavior in Mei's eyes a bit strange.

In yesterday's swordsmanship practice, Mei determined that this oddity stemmed from an unknown pressure and desire to become stronger.

No ordinary person would practice swordsmanship for up to two hours at a time.

In the view of Kouro who was extorting himself crazily, the training time was not that long, but in Mei's view, only a swordsman could do it.

Some things in fact, Mei has been determined, she is somewhat unable to understand it, why is Kouro willing to come to chat with herself in particular, is it purely to make herself less lonely?

It's strange that Kouro and she didn't have a bond in the past... but the two of them quickly became close, which made Mei feel happy.

"Let's go out together? Have a chat or something, we can walk together and talk while we walking outside."

Now, besides enjoying the warmth brought by Kouro who is willing to accompany her, Mei wants to do something for him too, it is often heard that walking is a sport that can relieve depression.

Mei's words flashed through Kouro's mind, and he could somewhat, see the purpose of Mei's actions.

In his previous swordsmanship training, he might have been a little misguided. 

"Men and women go out together at night isn't this a bit like a date?"

If Mei didn't plan on Correcting it that would be even better.

Besides in Kouro's mind it wasn't bad to have a girlfriend like Mei, who was considerate, independent, and gentle, although he didn't plan to do so now.

Kouro's blunt words caused Mei's reacting face to turn red.

"Just hanging out with friends, don't think about it."

"It turned out that way, too bad, it looks like I still have to keep working hard"

Maybe now Kouro isn't interested in love, but in the future probably.
