It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

Kiko blinked, turned her head to look at the time displayed on the wall clock, and a big question mark appeared on her forehead.

"Why did you get up so early?"

"You get up this early too~"

As Kiko watched as Iura Hide opened the refrigerator with a smile, took out a box of juice, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down, her eyes widened involuntarily.

Can this be the same?

She gets up this early every day to memorize English words so she can have more time to study!

Although she had decided to 'let things take their course' and not get up early after Iura Hide's advice, she felt that she could make use of the morning after reading the posts and replies online last night.

For example, you should get up early to make a delicious breakfast and lunch for your brother. To win your brother's heart, you must first win his stomach.

In her memory, even if Iura Hide didn't sleep in, he usually wouldn't get up until 7:00 or even 7:30!

Anyway, for a husky that doesn't care much about its appearance, half an hour is more than enough time to get up, wash, and eat breakfast, right?

Furthermore, they rarely seem to study hard, yet their grades are so good.

This is also one of the reasons why she admires and idolizes Hideaki Iura.

So

"Did the sun rise in the west today?"

"No!" Ji Zi suddenly felt a pang of anxiety, realizing something.

"Could it be that Onii-chan really likes and is pursuing that girl? Is that why he deliberately gets up early and takes a detour to find her so they can go to school together?"

It has to be said that girls' intuition can sometimes be frighteningly accurate.

While not all of Jizi's guesses were correct, she was at least half right.

Iura Hideaki got up so early because he wanted to go to school with Mashiro, since he knew that Mashiro was completely unable to take care of herself.

If we don't get there soon, we really won't have enough time.

"By the way, Motoko, did you come to the kitchen because you were hungry?" Iura Hide asked casually.

Just as Kiko knew that Iura rarely got up this early, Iura also knew that Kiko diligently got up early every day to memorize English words.

"Ah, no, this...um."

Kiko's eyes darted around, and she muttered something under her breath, somewhat hesitantly.

What a joke! To be a good little sister and win over your older brother, you would get up early to make him breakfast and a bento box, and then surprise him afterward.

Although I'm shy, I've already done it, haven't I?

But she hasn't done it yet, and she's facing Iura Hide directly. How can she possibly say it out loud?

"You idiot onii-chan!!!"

Ji Zi silently complained to herself.

On the other side, seeing her like this, Iura Hide was somewhat puzzled and curious, but he did not continue to ask her questions.

Regardless of his boisterous behavior at school or the 'onii-chan's authority he only displayed in front of Kiko, he was essentially a very curious person.

The nickname "Silly Husky" is really accurate.

However, this time he smiled and took the initiative to continue, saying, "I'm going to make breakfast now. If you're not very hungry yet, you can wait for me a little while."

"Oh, wait a minute!? You're making breakfast!?"

"Yes~"

Kiko's eyes widened in surprise; she almost didn't react at first.

"Onii-chan is up this early making breakfast?! The sun must have risen in the west, right?!"

Ji Zi muttered to herself, feeling a sour sensation, as if she had just eaten a slice of fresh lemon.

It seems that Iura Shu has never made breakfast for her in all these years! Although her mother is a full-time housewife, Iura Shu doesn't need to make breakfast for her at all.

But she just felt unhappy, and her fair cheeks puffed up slightly like a wronged pufferfish, while her sense of crisis intensified.

"With your cooking skills, you think you can win a girl's heart by making breakfast? There's no way you can do that!"

This time, it was Iura Hide who couldn't help but pause for a moment, then chuckled, reaching out to pat Kiko's head while jokingly teasing, "Kiko really is a tsundere brother complex~"

Actually, Kiko really misunderstood. Because Mashiro grew up in England, she is more used to having sandwiches, bread, milk, and fried eggs for breakfast.

So he made breakfast for himself.

You can tell from their house that their family is quite traditional in some ways, and breakfast is one of them.

White rice served with natto or nori sheets and raw eggs, along with pickled cucumbers, pickled radish, grilled fish, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), miso soup, and a glass of freshly squeezed juice, or milk with fresh fruit.

It's not that it wasn't plentiful.

Both the cost of the ingredients and the time spent making them are much higher than the rice balls, bread, and sandwiches bought from convenience stores.

But shouldn't breakfast consist of things like rice noodles, wheat noodles, or wontons? Or at the very least, soy milk and fried dough sticks, steamed buns, or tofu pudding!

Of course, due to limited ingredients, he couldn't eat any of these even if he got up early.

No problem, he can use the ingredients he has to upgrade white rice into fried rice.

Anyway, it's really not easy to make fried rice that tastes really good. Even a master chef might not be able to do it well due to limitations in ingredients.

But to say that you can make fried rice taste bad is actually quite difficult.

Although he's not very good at cooking, he can probably still make a fried rice dish that he can eat!

"Humph!"

Kiko gave a soft hum and turned her head away, but surprisingly, she didn't dodge Iura Hide's large hand. Instead, after Iura Hide put his hand down, she unconsciously felt a little reluctant to leave.

"Am I really a tsundere with a violent streak?"

The 'terrifying' thought suddenly popped into Jizi's head, and she quickly shook her head vigorously to drive it away.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Let me see--"

Iura Hide turned to look at the various ingredients in the refrigerator, which had been cleaned and packed in plastic bags, and muttered to himself, "Green peppers, bean sprouts, cabbage, plus eggs, bacon, and shrimp, that should be enough to make some fried rice."

Before he could finish speaking, Kiko's mouth was already agape.

"So many ingredients? Put them all in?"

"correct."

""

Seeing Kiko's bewildered expression, Iura Hide couldn't help but laugh and explain, "When making fried rice, just put in whatever you have on hand. As long as it's something you like and it doesn't taste particularly bad when put together, you can put it in. In short, the taste won't be bad."

"Moreover, because the ingredients and quantities are different each time, the fried rice will taste different, which makes it less likely to get tired of eating it."

Jizi stared blankly at him, unable to help but reveal an expression that said, "Don't try to fool me, I'm not well-educated."

After all, whether it's home economics classes or online cooking tutorials, the amount of salt is usually measured precisely to the gram. How can someone like Hideaki Iura be so casual about it?

"You'll find out soon enough, this is an authentic Chinese cuisine recipe~" Iura Hide couldn't help but pat Kiko's head again.

Yes, it's fantastic in terms of both height and feel!

But when Ji Zi heard this, she felt it was even more unreliable.

What authentic Chinese cuisine? How come she didn't know that Iura Hide would watch that kind of stuff?

However, she didn't say anything more to discourage Iura Shu, after all, she was supposed to be a well-behaved and cute little sister who would please her older brother.

And

"I remember, Kiko, you don't dislike green peppers and cabbage, right?"

"Idiot, who would hate cabbage?"

Ji Zi muttered to herself, but a sweet feeling of emotion welled up inside her.

After all, Iura Shu specifically asked her if she had any dietary restrictions, so rounding it up would mean that this fried rice was made for her, right?

My brother-in-law gets up early to make her breakfast, just thinking about it makes me so happy!

She felt even happier after seeing that Iura Hide hadn't deliberately packed a lot of food to take away.

"Could it be that Onii-chan gave up the idea of ​​bringing breakfast for that girl because of me?"

"Could it be that Onii-chan is actually a womanizer?"

Thinking of this, a shy blush appeared on Ji Zi's fair face.

Chapter 35 You call this a teacher?

"Konichiwa!"

"Oh, it's Xiu! You're here pretty early."

Behind the open apartment door was Chihiro Sengoku, rubbing her eyes and yawning. Most importantly, she wasn't wearing any clothes!

She was only wearing a pair of barely any black panties!

This left Iura Hide, who was carrying sandwiches, milk, and Baumkuchen that he had just bought from the supermarket, completely dumbfounded, and he almost dropped the shopping bag in his hand.

Actually, he already knew the apartment's password from Chihiro Sengoku yesterday.

There's nothing I can do about it; Mashiro always forgets things when she's alone.

However, considering that there were two girls living in the apartment, he still politely pressed the doorbell and waited for Chihiro Chigoro to open the door, in order to prevent accidentally seeing anything inappropriate.

But who knew that Chihiro Sengoku would be so unreliable!

At that moment, Chihiro Sengoku finished rubbing her eyes and lowered her hands. Seemingly understanding Iura Hide's thoughts, she said with a grin, "Oh dear, don't worry, I only opened the door because I saw it was you on the access card~"

"What am I worried about!"

"No, I'm worried about Mashiro, okay!"

Iura Hide rolled his eyes in annoyance and looked away.
