"All right! Add on another extra premium serving of meat! Stuff yourselves, brats!" Mem-cho declared.

"Yay!" Everyone, but Fuutarou and me, cheered.

"Aqua-san, your portion is ready," Akane said as she finished grilling a large portion of meat

"Aqua-san, your portion is ready," Akane said as she finished grilling a large portion of meat.

"I'll grill my own, so don't worry about me. You haven't been eating at all." I answered.

"No, this is my role and as a way of thanking you for your help."

"I haven't done much though."

"Your tips have been of great help. Besides I'm a vegetarian so I can give you my part. Here you go." She gives me a dish with just a few vegetables and a large portion of grilled meat.

"Thanks."

"You know, people would get mad when I used to burn the meat before, but I can grill them well now."

"That's good to know."

Ichika, who was next to Akane and in front of Fuutarou, used a fork to steal my meat.

"That's mine." I turned to her.

"Sorry, Aqua-kun. I'm starving. Hehehe..." She scratches her head awkwardly.

"You're not Itsuki."

Ichika's been observing and interrupting me a lot lately during the show, making me reduce the time I spend with the rest of the girls. It's safe to assume that Nino instructed her to do so to prevent me from forming close relationships with the female cast.

I can't blame her. She's simply helping her little sister out. Besides, I didn't have any intention of forming a relationship with any of the others anyway so I didn't care. There's only the case with Akane, though.

However, what Ichika did was pretty rude, especially to Akane who took the time to cook and give me that.

"I don't mind giving you some Ichika, but you should've asked first. At least apologize to Akane who took the time to make that," I said as Ichika was about to get her first mouthful.
