Volume 6: Birthday Gift

Chapter 2

Saturday, 18th September

Yato Pov:

After my brief conversation with old man Sakayanagi, I went back to my room, where Kushida was waiting. However...

Yato: ...

Kushida: ...

Since I came back, her mood has become strangely serious and tense. She is sitting on my bed, playing on her phone, and completely ignoring me.

I was sitting at my desk chair, also playing on my phone, and regularly glancing at her.

Yato: She barges here and now she's in a bad mood?

Confused and lost by her attitude, I sighed before closing my phone.

Yato: Sighs...look, it's already past 9 p.m. Have you eaten yet? Cause I haven't dined yet, so...

Kushida: ...

She raised her eyes from her phone to glance at me. She remained silent for a moment until she closed her phone, and it seemed she finally showed signs of talking...

Kushida: Mhm...are you perhaps going to cook me something?

Yato: Hah? You want me to burn the dorm or what? 

Kushida: ...

She seemed dissatisfied with my answer. I'm pretty sure that hearing I would cook, Touma and Gou would have begged me to stay away from the kitchen. 

Should I try to cook something for Kushida, though? Is it possible to get her in a better mood by cooking her something to eat? After all, if she really plans to stay in my room for a moment, I should get her in a better mood; otherwise, it will be a pain in the ass...

After thinking about it for a few seconds...

Yato: Nah...the stakes of disaster are too high...there's a high probability that I mess up during the cooking...

I don't know why Kushida seemed dissatisfied that I wouldn't cook her something to eat, but whatever...

Yato: Sighs...look, I'm going to the grocery store to get myself a bento. Are you coming or not? At this time of day, I'm pretty sure most people are in their room, so...

If she was scared to meet someone from the class, assuming the probability of encountering someone was low was pretty safe. That's why even if she leaves the room, we just need to be careful, and everything should be fine.

Also I don't want to leave and come back with something to eat for me and she start being even more moody cause I didn't pick anything for her at the grocery.

Kushida: Well...it's quite late, and I don't have clothes for this time of the day...

Yato: Ah...

We were approaching October, and the nights were indeed more chill, but if it was only that...

Yato: If that's the sole problem...

I got up from the chair and walked to my dresser. I opened the last drawer of it and took out a hoodie.

Yato: Here...

I just threw it at Kushida, still sitting on my bed.

Yato: Put this on and let's go...

I didn't waste time, so I walked to the entrance of my room.

Kushida: H-Hey wait!

I heard Kushida getting up from my bed as I put on my shoes, ready to leave. She quickly joined me with that same moody look but quickly put on the hoodie I lent her.
