Chapter 130 - Can't We Just Somehow Not Do This?

I worked really hard I worked so hard that I dont think Ive ever worked this hard ever before in my life, as I managed to overcome the biggest challenge that came into my life.

It feels like I can still distinctly feel it in my hand Can I sleep tonight?

[Kaito have some meal.]

[T- Thank you very much.]

After the bath, I heard from Isis-san that she had prepared dinner for me, so Im now sitting in a dining room thats just as large as the other rooms, sitting side by side with Isis-san.

Or rather, you had such a big table, but youre sitting next to me We arent even using a tenth of the table, but well, I guess its really like Isis-san.

All of the food that Isis-san prepared for me looks simple and delicious, but it doesnt look like she put it in her magic box Wouldnt it get cold here?

As if to answer my question, a small magic circle floats on Isis-sans hand, and steam suddenly rises from the soup.

[W- Whoa Steam suddenly started appearing.]

[I have casted State Preservation Magic on it.]

I see, Im just pseudo-using State Preservation Magic by placing it in my magic box, but it seems that at Isis-sans level, she can easily use it to that degree.

And then, just as I moved my eyes to the food, Isis-san crossed her hands in front of her hips, fidgeting as she nervously spoke.

[Its really good if I made it.. right.]

[Eh? Did Isis-san make this?]

[U- Unnn I dont usually eat and so that Kaito could eat some I practiced to make some.]

[Isis-san.]

It seems that for Isis-san and some of the high-ranking demons, eating and sleeping isnt a necessity, but a hobby.

It seems that Isis-san usually only eats teacakes along with her tea, so it seems that she practiced cooking for me.

How should I say this, Im very happy and embarra.s.sed at the same time, as after thanking Isis-san again for the food, I reached out for the food.

[Thank you for the food.]

[Unnn.]

The food that Isis-san made for me was how should I say this makes me feel like its poorly prepared.

It wasnt refined at all, as if its made by someone lacking experienceThats why I could feel that Isis-san had frantically practiced it with trial and error.

Is that why? The taste isnt really something that you can compliment, but this dish is impossibly delicious, and most importantly, it warms my heart.

[It tastes really great.]

[Really? but I never cooked before]

[Errr, look, its the same as what Isis-san said to me before.]

[Eh?]

[Because Isis-san made it for me, and because Isis-san is here with me It tastes much better than usual.]

[Kai to.]

This dish is really delicious, its like it was a dish filled with the sincerity Isis-san had in her heart, and I cant help but be moved from the bottom of my heart.

When I conveyed that thought to her, Isis-sans eyes teared up like she was overcome with emotions.

Her very cute appearance makes my heart unconsciously beat faster, and I hurried ate my meal in order to cover it up.

[Ahh Kaito wait.]

[Yeah?]

For some reason, Isis-san told me to stop eating in the middle of my meal, and as I tilted my head in response She takes the fork I put down, pierces a piece of salad and holds it out to me.

[Here Ahhnn..]

[Huh? Eh? W- Wait Isis-san!? What are you doing all of a sudden!?]

[When eating youd be happy if I did this is what she said.]

[Says who?]

[Shalltear.]

Oi, you bast*rd, Phantasmal King. Come out here for a sec.

What the heck is that bast*rd doing!? Not only are you scurrying around the shadows, youre even planting weird information everywhere!?

N- No, putting her aside, I need to do something about my situation now.

Isis-san is an honest person, so she completely believes the information the Phantasmal King said about me being happy with it, and shes doing this with 100% good intentions.

Well, of course, it isnt like I dislike being on the receiving end of such treatment but it makes me absurdly embarra.s.sed.

It would be easy to refuse here, but Im sure that it would make Isis-san look sad.

I dont want to make Isis-san sad Thats right. All I have to do is put up with a little embarra.s.sment, right!?

A- Alright

[T- Thank you for the food.]

[Arehh? Kaito too I want]

[Ahhnn]

[Yes.. Is it tasty?]

[I- Its tasty.]

[Thats great.]

I know Im repeating myself but How could this happen?

What I know for now is that I wont forgive that Phantasmal King I will surely throw out my complaints to her the next time I see her.

Also, one more thing theres a lot of food placed in the table, but youre not telling me that I would have to eat all of this, right?

[T- Thank you for the meal.]

[Unnn Ahh theres also some dessert.]

[Eh? Ah, yes. T- Thank you.]

I ate up the food, which was much more than I had imagined, with the sole intention of making Isis-san happy, and after finally exhaling out now that it was over but it seems that theres still dessert.

I feel like my stomachs going to explode H- However, I will do my best for Isis-sans sake. If I dont eat it here, Im not a man!

With the usual happy smile on her face, Isis-san took out an apple pie or rather, ripple pie.

[A ripple pie?]

[Unnn Kaito mentioned that he likes it so]

[Thank you.]

I certainly like apple pies.

Apple pie was one of moms specialties Well, my mom wasnt a very good cook, and hamburger steaks and apple pies may be the only things she could properly make

Anyway, I can say that apple pie reminds me of mom and is my favorite food Im not really aware of it, but could it be that Im actually a mother-con?

[Here Ahhnn.]

[Ahhnn.]

It seems that she would also do that with the dessert too, and I was about to eat the ripple pie held out to my mouth, but then, I suddenly realized that the situation we are in now was clearly different than it was earlier.

Earlier, she had held out food to me with a fork or a spoon, but now, Isis-san is holding out a piece of ripple pie held with her hand.

C- Calm down, its alright If I calculate the eating position properly and adjust the size of my mouths opening

With nervousness even greater than before, I ate the ripple pie.

The sweet and soft ripple fruit is matched with the crispy pie crust, and the gentle flavors spread with the pleasant crunch every time I bite into it in my mouth.

I couldnt help but feel like crying.

The ripple pie that Isis-san, who isnt used to cooking, made for me tasted just like my moms apple pie, who wasnt a good cook It was a delicious taste that made my heart feel warm and fuzzy.

As I was being moved by the nostalgic taste, Isis-san suddenly seemed to notice something, as she reached her hand towards me.

[Somethings on your cheek.]

[Ehh? Wha!?]

[.Nom.]

[ ~ ~ ! ? ! ? ]

Isis-san took a piece of pie crust stuck on my lips with her finger and brought it to her mouth like its something quite natural of her.

This action immediately blew away all my previous thoughts, and I feel my face grew tremendously hot.

However, Isis-san didnt seem to be particularly bothered at all, as she held out another piece of ripple pie to my mouth again gah, wait, wait!? The heck, isnt this bad!?

I mean, just now, Isis-san caught that pie crust that was on my lips with her finger and put her finger inside her mouth once.

And now, shes holding that ripple pie with her hand and trying to feed it to me and this time, it had become smaller because I took a bite out of it earlier, and its size was just enough that it would be unnatural if I dont eat it in one bite Isnt that, errr, an indirect kiss

[U- Umm, Isis-san. As expected, Id just]

[Ehhh]

[Ah, no, Im just kidding! Thank you for the food!]

I was about to say that Id eat it myself, but immediately dropped it before a sad expression appeared on Isis-sans face.

T- This is impossible! I cant say Ill eat it myself if you give me a look like that!

Realizing that I couldnt escape, I opened my mouth to eat the piece of ripple pie.

As Isis-sans soft fingers entered my mouth, although it was only for a moment, I felt as if my face was going to boil over from the faintest hint of body heat from her fingers.

However, thats not the end of it. After all, there are still seven slices of ripple pie left

Seeing Isis-san with a cute smile on her face and a new slice in her hand, I just got ready to receive the shame that was about to come.

Dear Mom, Dad It was like Isis-san learned how to cook for me and she treated me to a home-cooked meal. It was so delicious, and I was happy about her feelings, but just this shame play Cant we just somehow not do this?

Arent you just idiotic couples just now!? Go explode!!!

Anyway, what the heck is with this tremendous heroine power

Shes cute and kind (only to Kaito), she is devoted to him, working hard to learn how to cook for him, even though shes actually absurdly strong, it makes others feel like protecting her, and on top of all those things, she single-mindedly loves him Her specs are too d.a.m.n high.
