I went to school and attended my classes seriously. Then I had a nice chat with my best friend, stopped by the supermarket on my way home from school, took a bath first, cooked dinner, and ate it while relaxing, watching TV.
It had been two weeks since I had ordered the housekeeping service.
I looked at the discount coupon I was holding in my hand.
For some reason, I never used it.
No, it wasn’t because I was not satisfied with the housekeeping service.
Rather, it was one of the best things I heard.
Kanako Sakurada — a very nice woman.
She was beautiful, good-natured, and even had breasts … that were cozy.
Anyway, I’d love to have her come back again, but …
I was not sure if it would bother her if I asked for her that often.
I wondered if she would be annoyed.
I worried about many things.
This was why adolescent high school students were so troublesome.
Or maybe it’s because she’s so beautiful that I’m getting defensive.
“Haa~~”
I let out a light groan.
But, …, I thought, the food that Sakurada-san cooked for me was delicious.
And picked up my phone.
I opened the reservation page for the housekeeping service.
I nervously entered the name “Kanako Sakurada” in the nomination field.
◇◇◇◇◇
I was sitting with my back straight on the couch, my heart hammering.
The sound of the doorbell made my heart leap.
“Ha, ha!”
I rushed to the door and opened it.
And there she stood…
“Hello.”
“Well, Sakurada-san, … hello.”
I said, and she smiled at me.
“Please, come on up.”
“Sorry to bother you.”
She smiled and walked inside the house.
I walked back into the living room with her.
“Oh no, anyway…”
“… Um, Touma-kun.”
“Yes?”
When I turned around, Sakurada-san looked a little unhappy.
“What’s wrong?”
“Was… my work last time… not good?”
“What? No, no, no, not at all.”
“No?”
“Why do you feel that way?”
“Because I wanted Touma-kun to pick me again, and I even gave him a discount coupon, but he didn’t call me back. …”
“No, that’s because … Sakurada-san is just too nice.”
“Huh?”
“I think I’m really lucky to have such a beautiful and stylish Onee-san as my housekeeper. I’m still just a kid in high school, after all. I’m kind of embarrassed or worried or something. … Anyway, it’s not that I didn’t like Sakurada-san. …”
Yeah, this was a pattern where the more I explained something, the more it sounded like an excuse, here.(TLN:-Dude knows the cliche ayeee I like you more now)
Looking as if she had regained her full spirit, Sakurada-san headed for the kitchen.
“We had Japanese food last time. Shall we have Western food today?”
“Sounds good.”
“How about pasta?”
“I like it.”
“Good.”
Sakurada-san smiled and proceeded to cook in a rhythm.(TLN: This means that she knew what she was doing and was not being awkward. Also, what a coincidence I was sitting rhythm bot listening to music)
I kept staring at her.
It might sound creepy.
“Thank you for waiting.”
As if a magic spell was cast, the dish was completed in no time at all.
“Pasta with spring cabbage, consommé soup, and bread for dipping.”
“Wow, I can’t get over how meticulous a woman can be.”
“Arigato~. But I think it might not be enough for a boy like you who eats a lot.”
“It’s alright. I’ll dig in, Itadakimasu.”
I immediately took a bite of Sakurada-san’s homemade dish.
I wrapped my fork around the pasta and took a bite.
“… It’s delicious!”
“Good. I’ve got some more for you.”
“Arigato Gozaimasu”
Sakurada-san and I couldn’t stop smiling for a long time.
◇◇◇◇◇
The contracted time was about to expire.
“Thank you again for today, Sakurada-san.”
“It was fun, for me too. Thank you.”
We bowed our heads to each other.
Oh, how quickly the good times fly by.(TLN:- IKR dude :’) but mine is still going on xD)
“… Hey, Touma-kun. I have one thing to discuss with you.”
Oh, how quickly the good times fly by.
“… Hey, Touma-kun. I need to talk to you about something.”
“What is it?”
I nodded my head.
“I’m thinking of quitting … my job as a housekeeper.”
“What … really?”
“Yeah, …”
“… So, I’ll never see … Sakurada-san again?”
Stop it, dude.
I was talking like a man who was in love.
After all, she and I have the relationship of a customer and a service person.
“You see, I want to be … Touma-kun’s exclusive.”(TLN: dude ACCEPT RNNN WTHHHH I WAANT IT TOOO ARGHHHHH EXCLUSIVE ONEE SAN TO SPOIL MEEEEEEE.)
“Yes?”
“I want to be your personal housekeeper, Touma-kun.”
For a moment I couldn’t understand what she was saying.
“Doesn’t that mean … you are already my wife?”(TLN: HELL YEAH DUDE ONEE SAN WIFE)
“Yeah, … that’s right.”
Sakurada-san smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
