Chapter 16: Revenge
The next day was a sunny day for the first time in a long time, with the sun peeking out from between the clouds in the monring.
Yuuki arrived at school a little early and sat in his seat, soaking up the morning sun that was shining through the window while photosynthesizing in a daze.
When my mind is happy, I don’t care about my unfinished prep work or homework, and Keitaro asks, “Are you still alive?”
Because of this, the place by the window is good. It’s really good.
While Yuuki was intoxicated with a sense of happiness, there was a rattling sound and the seat next to him became noisy.
“Good morning. Fufu, where were you looking just now?”
Yui gave me a cheerful smile.
“Good morning,” I replied, and Yui nodded and sat down in her seat.
“I put your umbrella in the umbrella stand. It was so embarrassing to bring it with me on such a sunny day.”
“Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn’t think that far ahead.”
“No, I don’t mind…”
Yui was a little awkward,.
That said, Yuuki also has to prepare for the rain tomorrow and bring back his umbrella on the way home.
Yesterday was an almost thoughtless action, but I realized that lending an umbrella in that situation would be quite a hassle later on.
(Well, whatever.)
But I quickly regained my composure.
Yui took out Tupperware from her bag and presented it to me, “Here you go.”
When I picked it up, it was lighter than I thought.
“What?”
“Thank you for yesterday.”
Yui was smiling as she said that, and she opened the lid a bit and looked inside.
It was chock full of round, wheat-colored objects.
“Are these cookies?”
“Un. They’re homemade cookies. Are you happy?”
Yui does her signature smile.
This was completely unexpected, since LINE ended up in a mess yesterday.
It wasn’t exactly a bento, but that was the first time in years that homemade cookies had been made for him.
I’m sure I’ll be able to see Mizuna’s joy in her eyes right away, and she’ll smile.
“Thank you, I’m happy.”
“Ah, hai. You’re welcome.”
“Can I give this to my sister?”
It’s not that I wasn’t interested in the cookies, and when I asked her that, she smiled and said,
“You really care about your sister, don’t you, Yuuki-kun?”
“I’m not sure. I think it’s pretty normal.”
“Yeah? That kind of thing is really cool, but…”
“Do you have a sibling?”
When I asked that question back, Yui’s movements stopped.
When I was thinking that she would turn into a petrified stone, it seemed that she could solve it quickly this time.
“I have a sister but I don’t really call her…”
“Oh, sorry. But isn’t it awkward like that?”
“…why so?”
“I don’t even anymore.”
“What? And I don’t care what you think of me because you called me names.” freewebnovel.c(o)m
I just rushed to the point just now, but shouldn’t it be pointed out?
“But it’s not read today, is it?”
“Fufu~, the trick you used has the characteristic that it will never work again. So the same trick cannot be used. Yui Mk II.”
“That was some kind of monster, right?”
“I’m not a monster!”

“Oh, my God! Wow! Cookies! Thank you, Yuuki-kun!”
After returning home, I handed the cookies to Mizuna who was lying on the couch half-naked in her underwear and T-shirt, and the groggy Mizuna held up the Tupperware and began to dance.
It was a mysterious movement that looked like the beginnings of a ritual.
“Good for you. I didn’t make those.”
“Who made it then?”
“The person next to me.”
“Wow, your neighbor is amazing! Maybe Mizuna should talk to the person next to her too~”
“Ooh, that’s a good idea.”
“But I’m ignoring that~”
“Oi.”
Mizuna stuck out her tongue and tilted her head in a cute way, but it’s not a case that can be done with a tee-hee. I’m not kidding.
What is this! Delicious!”
Mizuna immediately took out a cookie and bit into it.
She showed me the part she had bitten into with a twinkle in her eye.
“Yuuki-kun! Look, there’s chocolate in this!”
“All right, eat in peace.”
“You can eat some too, Yuuki-kun.”
Apparently, the ownership has already been completely transferred to Mizuna.
Yuuki joined Mizuna as she shared the cookies with him.
“Ah, it’s kind of dense.”
“Right? Right?”
It had a deeper taste, or something to that effect.
It was a little different from the ones on the market.
“It’s mild and not persistent.”
“Elegant taste.”
“It’s one of the decade.”
“Abundant and rich.”
The two poor reporters were mumbling and grabbing the cookies from the Tupperware one after the other, and in the blink of an eye they all ended up in their stomachs.
And Mizuna, who finished retrieving the small pieces left in the Tupperware, quickly looked back at Yuuki’s face.
“I’m impressed! Mizuna wants to make cookies too!”
Sure enough, it started.
“It’s okay, Mizuna. It’s hard work.”
“Ehh~? But I want to repay you.”
“I knew you’d want to repay me.”
“The perpetual motion is now complete.”
“Do you know what that means?”
“That’s what this is in return for in the first place.”
Mizuna reluctantly says “eh~”, but suddenly leaves the living room in a huff, brings a pink notepad and a set of pens from her room, and starts writing something on the table.
And after a while, she finishes, and hands me the memo.
“I’m Mizuna. The cookies were so good. YEAH, GOOOOOO, YAHOOOOOOO!”
Colorfully framed letters.
There were small pictures of cakes and doughnuts written in the corner, as if to ask for the next one.
“What’s this search for?”
“Please give it to My Lord. Imouto was happy and satisfied.” free(w)ebnovel
“What kind of character is that?”
“I don’t know.”

The next day.
Before I forget, I handed Mizuna’s note to Yui first thing in the morning.
Yui looked at the note for a while with a smile and said, “Fufu, it’s cute~”, but eventually she put it away in a clear file as if it was important.
“Have you eaten the cookies yet, Yuuki-kun?”
“I did, and it was really good. You’re really good at cooking, aren’t you?”
“Well, you know. I’ve been doing this since I was young.
She was proud of it.
“That’s great”, said Yuuki, who was honestly impressed. When Yui noticed that, she made her signature grin again, and,
“Whoa~? Could it be, Yuuki-kun, that you have a weakness for homely girls…”
“I’m not a great cook, but it’s nice to have someone who can do it so well. I respect that.”
“Is that…? What…..?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
After nodding in agreement, Yui suddenly gingerly held out a hand to cover her mouth.
“What’s wrong?”
“Hmmm? Just yawning a bit….”
Then for a while, Yui didn’t put her hand down
I don’t know what it was, but she seemed to be very sleepy.
