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

But wouldn't doing this hurt Hideaki Iura?

Although she felt that, given Iura Hide's kindness, he would likely agree if she brought it up.

But a normal guy would definitely not want his girlfriend to do that. Even if Iura Hide didn't say it, he would definitely feel uncomfortable inside.

Kitagawa Kaimu sat blankly on the bed, thinking for a long time, and finally decided to confess to Sugaya Nowa.

This wasn't because she valued her boyfriend over her friends; rather, she felt that since lying would hurt others, why not choose to be honest?

At least she still retained her sincerity towards her friends, didn't she?

If Sugaya Noiwa really gets angry with her because of this, or even breaks off relations with her, she will accept it.

She fell in love with Iura Hide first, and Iura Hide also liked her. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her and Iura Hide's mutual attraction.

"By the way, shouldn't he be back soon?"

Kitagawa Kaimu seemed to have thought of something, and picked up her phone again to unlock the screen and swipe.

Then she finally saw the two messages from Iura Shu, which had been pushed aside by the bombardment of more than twenty messages from 'Ryune'.

"Are you up yet? Are you feeling any better? If you're hungry, there are sandwiches in the fridge, but please heat them up a little before eating."

Kitagawa Kaimu hadn't even finished reading the first message when a happy, silly smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"You idiot senior, how could I possibly get up at noon after what you did last night!"

Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The lingering discomfort in her body seemed to be a reminder, making her involuntarily recall the scenes from last night, and her legs instinctively tightened around the blanket.

Even without makeup, her skin was as white and soft as milk. Finding her flawless face made me feel hot.

"Oh, right, there's one more message!"

Not daring to continue lost in thought, Kitagawa Kaimu quickly looked at the second message, which she hadn't finished reading yet.

Upon seeing that Iura Hide was going to participate in the art club's field trip, he was momentarily stunned.

It's perfectly normal for high school students in Japan to participate in club activities after school, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Iura Hide having club activities and arriving a little later.

just

"Huh? The art club?"

"Shouldn't it be the light music club or the soccer club?"

"Could it be that the senior could actually draw?"

Kitagawa Kaimu blinked cutely, as if she had discovered a new continent, her big eyes full of curiosity.

She originally thought she knew Iura Hide well enough, after all, she had long harbored 'ulterior motives' towards Iura Hide.

Unexpectedly, there were aspects of Iura Hide that she didn't know.

Of course, this lack of understanding didn't annoy her; on the contrary, it surprised and delighted her. After all, what girl wouldn't dislike the fact that the boy she likes is actually more outstanding than she imagined?

"Music, soccer, painting...and he's so handsome, has such a great personality, and even in that area..."

Thinking about all this, Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but feel incredibly proud and smug, and couldn't wait to show it off to Ryune and Oozora.

Chapter 59 Unreserved Support

"Eh eh eh?"

"Did you join the art club, senior?"

I just got up.

"But you can't blame me, senior, because it's all your fault!"

"When are you coming back, senpai? Shizuku-chan is so hungry, I really want you to feed me~~"

On the return train, which was just as crowded as when they arrived, Hideaki Iura gently held Mashiro in his arms, just as he had done on the way there, while breathing in the faint fragrance emanating from the young girl.

When he saw the message from Kitagawa Kaimu, the corners of his mouth first unconsciously turned up, but then he noticed Mashiro looking up at him. Feeling a little guilty, he quickly suppressed his smile, then held his phone up to a height where Mashiro couldn't see it, and typed a reply with one hand.

"Actually, I only joined the art club a few days ago. As for the club activities, they will probably be over in about an hour."

Iura Hide quietly estimated that after getting off the bus, he would first go to the supermarket to buy Mashiro a bento box for dinner, and then take Mashiro home. An hour would be enough.

"If you're really hungry, you can have a sandwich to tide you over, or I can buy whatever you want to eat for dinner on my way over."

Inside the apartment, Kitagawa Kaimu had just taken the soiled sheets from last night to the washing machine and was humming a song as she prepared to take a shower.

Upon seeing his reply, she immediately showed a curious expression.

"Huh? You just joined the art club?"

"Yes, I'd like to turn the light novel I'm currently writing into a manga. If I have the opportunity in the future, I could work as a part-time manga artist."

Iura Hide did not choose to hide it.

Whether it's writing light novels or becoming a manga artist, in Japan, where many students will enter the workforce after graduating from high school, it's not something to be ashamed of.

After all, he wasn't writing any erotic novels.

Moreover, given Kitagawa Kaimu's tastes, she probably wouldn't mind even if she wrote erotic stories.

However, Kitagawa Kaimu was still stunned after seeing Iura Hide's reply.

Although it wasn't quite what she initially expected, Iura Hide's painting skills didn't seem very impressive.

But writing light novels and drawing comics, isn't that a bit too much of a talent?

Kitagawa Kaimu, regaining her senses, suddenly became somewhat worried.

She learned about Iura Shu's football talent at the beginning.

Needless to say, just look at how Iura Shu single-handedly led the previously unknown Katagiri High School into the national top eight when he was a first-year high school student, and you'll know how amazing Iura Shu is.

If he continues like this, Hideki Iura should have a great chance of playing in the professional league.

Then, just a few days ago, she witnessed Hideaki Iura's musical talent through "Kimi ni Todoke".

Knowing that Iura Hide loves music as much as she does, she would support Iura Hide if she wanted to pursue a career in music.

But if it's a light novel author or manga artist...

However, as his girlfriend, she hasn't seen any of Iura Shu's works yet, so she can't judge whether Iura Shu has talent in this area.

Even if Iura Shu really didn't have the talent, he still insisted on becoming a light novel writer and manga artist.

She will also support Iura Hide without reservation.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa Kaimu's slightly furrowed brows relaxed again, and her mood instantly lightened.

"Has your light novel finished, senior?"

"Not yet, we've only written the beginning so far."

"Then can I take a look?"

Iura Hide looked at the message on his phone screen and couldn't help but smile.

As a fan of "April" who rewatches it every year, he is naturally happy that more people can see and like "April".

"The bento boxes are really expensive when they're not discounted."

About twenty minutes later, in another convenience store less than 200 meters from Mashiro's house, Iura Hideichi scanned the labels on every bento box on the shelf and couldn't help but start complaining.

Actually, considering Japan's income and price levels, a bento box with meat and vegetables costing seven or eight hundred yen isn't very expensive; it's about the same price as a meal in their school cafeteria.

Having gotten used to bento boxes that are half price or even 30% off, it's not surprising that the original price of seven or eight yen seems expensive.

Considering that Chihiro Sengoku only gave him 30,000 yen as food expenses for Mashiro, which included not only Mashiro's breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, but also Mashiro's favorite Baumkuchen and pineapple bread, it would be impossible to last until the end of the month without buying discounted bento boxes.

So he had no choice but to give up his plan to buy the original-priced bento boxes and instead buy groceries and cook for himself.

Iura Hide didn't want to make things difficult for himself, so he quickly bought a box of ten eggs and a bag of four tomatoes. Although it cost a total of 530 yen, it was enough for Mashiro to eat two meals with some left over.

However, even after deducting labor costs, the cost of each meal is still about the same as a discounted bento box.

This made him marvel once again at the incredibly high cost-performance ratio of the discounted bento boxes.

Of course, even though we're trying to save money, we still need to buy the Baumkuchen.

When he checked out, in addition to spending another 170 yen to buy a one-liter carton of pure milk, he also bought Mashiro her favorite Baumkuchen.

Seeing Mashiro holding the Baumkuchen cake carefully in her hands like a little hamster eating, Iura Shu couldn't help but smile.

Next up is the perk... oh wait, I mean, cooking time.

"Go wash your hands first, dinner will be ready soon."

"Oh."

He casually tossed the trash that Chihiro Sengoku had created that morning around the coffee table into the trash can. Then, Hideaki Iura first steamed the rice, which takes the most time, and then prepared to wash and chop the tomatoes.

Although he wasn't very good at cooking, he thought that scrambled eggs with tomatoes was similar to fried rice. As long as the ingredients were prepared and the salt and sugar were added correctly, it was unlikely to taste bad.

Meanwhile, Mashiro first went back to her room to put her schoolbag away, and then obediently went to wash her hands as instructed by Iura Hide.

As usual, she accidentally got her school uniform shirt wet while washing her hands.

So when she returned to the living room and sat down obediently, although her skirt and panties were still intact, her shirt and bra were nowhere to be found.

Those two rabbits, which were originally just average to above-average, became exceptionally eye-catching thanks to her slender waist.

To be honest, if it were when he had just met Mashiro, he might have already had a reaction.

However, in these short three days, he received far too many benefits from Mashiro, and this level of treatment was no longer very effective for him.

"Go find a T-shirt to change into first!"

"Show, help me choose."

Iura Hide could only laugh and cry as he put down the tomatoes in his hand and went to help Mashiro choose two T-shirts and a pair of panties.

One of the T-shirts is the one I'm wearing now, while the rest is for Mashiro to change into after her shower tonight.

Mashiro could put on his T-shirt by himself without anyone's help, so he was suddenly grateful that Katagiri High School's uniform was a shirt instead of a sailor uniform.

However, welfare benefits sometimes come unexpectedly.
