Ryouta: YUCK... This is the worst food I've ever had. Your cooking sucks! How can you expect any decent human being to swallow this horrible thing...

(And it again began. Ryouta's complaints about the food.)

Ryouta: This is torture! Give me something edible! Seriously, your cooking is an insult to food.

(It is getting out of hand............ I should just slap him...!)

Lino: *Give a can of tuna and and instant curry* Hey, you just eat this.

(I placed a can of tuna and a pouch of instant curry on the table.)

Ryouta: Uhh... This is a bit.... Actually, I do like this better but... Let's talk about this. I'm not complaining about the food.

Lino: Pish, if this is not complaining, then what is it??

Ryouta: But don't you think this is too much? The soup is tasteless, the eggs are too salty, and what is this thing? A squid or marrinated rubber band? This is not a food complaint!!! This is a matter of survival! How can you expect me to survive on this kind of food?

(I'm no cook... But am I this bad?)

Lino: The food is edible to me.

Ryouta: EDIBLE? Which part? If you call this food, that's an inforgivable insult to real food.

Lino: .........

Ryouta: Why don't you follow me with your wallet? We need to do some grocery shopping.

*A little while later*

(There are so many people at the grocery store today.)

Ryouta: Oh, this is good price. Buy it. Oh, yes! 2 for 1 deal!! buy them too!

(Ryouta starts to buy things crazily once at the store.)

Lino: Go easy. We don't have that much money. Take this, this, and that out.

Ryouta: What? We can't even afford these? Then, how are we going to make a living? And this isn't even a lot, maybe slightly over 10,000 yen!

(.............It seems he does not have a clue aout money.)

Lino: No money. Take everything out. Except the necessities.

Ryouta: Shoot!

Neighbour: Oh my gosh. Look at them. Are they an item?

Friend: Oh, no... They don't look like a couple. Right, more like a brother and sister.

(We hear everything that's being said about us.)

Neighbour: Oh, no, not a brother and sister. Look at the boy. He doesn't look like the girl at all. Fit body, pretty face. No ordinary person.

Friend: But still, they are not a couple. Look at them. They shop together. There is no qualm between them.

Neighbour: No blood relationship, not a coouple, then what are they? Friends?

Friend: Don't know. They must have some reason why they are together. Poor pretty boy~

(I've heard enough...!!)

Lino: I'm going to have a talk with THOSE GIRLS...

Ryouta: Calm down, no need to be upset.

Lino: Oh, yes. You like it being called a pretty boy, right?

Ryouta: Not exactly, but come over here.

Lino: Oh...?!

(Suddenly, Ryouta forcefully pulled me towards him.)

Lino: Hey, what the...!

Ryouta: Hush!

Neighbour: What's going on?!!

Friend: .........Are they really going steady? That pretty boy.. That pretty boy...

Neighbour: You think that girl saved a nation or something in her previous life? How on earth did she get such a good looking boy...

(We hear the lamenting sighs of the two girls.)

Ryouta: Just make them even more jealous... That's the best revenge on those backbiters!

Lino: Thanks for the lesson, but... OK. How long are you going to hold me! Take your hands off my waist!

Ryouta: Let them suffer a bit longer.

(.........The problem is, I think I'll remember this moment a lot more than those girls. What would he think if I tell him it bothers me...)

Ryouta: Why are you blushing?

Lino: It's because I'm hot!!

(.....................You idiot. You don't even know how I feel. I didn't know but Ryouta is pretty strong.......... Did I underestimate him?)

*A little while later*

(As if showing off, we went through the cash counter in each other's arm and returned home. Ryouta puts away everything and working in the ktichen while humming.)

Ryouta: Tada~! These are Ryouta's gourmet dishes!

(One by one, delicious looking dishes placed on the table.)

Ryouta: Help yourself! What do you think? Really good, eh?

Lino: !!!!!

(They are as delicious as Ryouta is cocky.)

Ryouta: If you want to cook, it should be as good as this. I really didn't want to show off my cooking skills, but couldn't help it.

Lino: Since you are so good at cooking you should have cooked from the start!

Ryouta: OK. From now on, I will do the cooking, you do the dishes. I'm used to eating good food, I can't tolerate bad cooking. That's why I learned how to cook. It's better for me to cook than trying to cope with bad food.

Lino: Fine with me.

Ryouta: So, from now on, I am the cook of this house!!!
