Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

Mako carried the ingredients to the kitchen and put them down, and then Takuya Hase came in.

First, he put a small portion of the meat in the refrigerator, and then Takuya Hase began to process the meat pieces.

The meat close to the bone was used to braise beans and rice, while the rest of the ingredients were all cut into suitable shapes and roasted.

It's too much trouble to deal with all of them one by one, so Hase Takuya is too lazy to do it.

While Takuya Hase and Mako were preparing ingredients in the kitchen, Kayaki quietly came to his side.

"I... I can help..."

Looking at the somewhat restless Kayoko, Hase Takuya knew that leaving someone with her personality alone would be a bad idea, as it would easily make her overthink things.

"Hmm... After Mako's marinade is ready, Jiaye, you can put them in a big pot, spread them evenly, and marinate them."

"Um!"

Jia Yezi went to Mako's side, and a cold glint flashed in the depths of her eyes as she looked at Mako cutting meat.

I will never let that despicable woman be alone with Takuya, absolutely not!

"Oh, by the way, don't prepare the chicken breast; it's for Xiao Hei's dinner later."

Hearing Takuya speak, Kayoko paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded vigorously.

"Hmm~!"

Takuya is so kind; he hasn't forgotten Kuro.

Hehe... then he definitely won't forget me...

On the kitchen floor, Xiao Hei watched the group cooking and became restless upon smelling the food.

It kept rubbing against Hase Takuya's leg, meowing sweetly incessantly.

"Get out, get out. I'll give it to you to eat after it's done."

Xiao Hei glanced longingly at the kitchen counter above, then went to a corner in the living room and lay down.

Later, as Hase Takuya placed the induction cooker and rice cooker on the dining table, Jia Yezi also placed the cat food that Hase Takuya had made with chicken breast and saury in front of Kuro.

Watching Xiao Hei happily eating, Jia Yezi looked at Takuya's busy back with a tender and affectionate gaze.

At her home, Xiao Hei, like her, often had to eat leftovers.

Because her parents often forget that she exists in the house, and they certainly don't remember her little black dog.

This sometimes resulted in her and Xiao Hei not having enough to eat, because there wasn't much leftover food, and the two of them had to share it.

Occasionally, Xiao Hei even has to go out and catch birds to eat on its own.

My parents do occasionally leave me pocket money at home, but the amount has never changed; it's been 1,000 yen since elementary school.

Just as they suddenly realized they had a daughter, they also forgot that their daughter was already in college.

Many things, her parents wouldn't care about at all unless she took the initiative to speak up.

Like now, I've been away from home for several days, and my parents haven't even noticed.

Are you too busy with work?

Probably not. After all, the students' parents are also very busy, but occasionally, you can see their parents coming to pick them up.

But myself...

It seems that since the third grade of elementary school, I have been handling everything on my own.

Parent-teacher meetings, graduation ceremonies, and school admission ceremonies.

It was all by myself, which my teachers and classmates thought was normal, my parents thought was normal, and even I gradually came to think it was normal.

If I hadn't met Takuya...

Perhaps I will accept living a normal life like this...

While I was squatting on the ground lost in thought, Takuya's voice came from behind me.

Never mind it, come and eat the meat.

"Okay~"

As she sat down at the dining table, Jia Yezi felt a secret delight as she looked at Mako sitting opposite Takuya.

Just now, while the two were carrying dishes back and forth, Jia Yezi deliberately separated the three people into three different positions on the table.

Actually, she really wanted to put her chair next to Takuya's.

But she was also afraid, afraid that shameless, despicable woman would sit next to Takuya!

Therefore, even if I can't sit next to Takuya, I absolutely, absolutely cannot let this woman get close to my Takuya!

Completely unaware of Jia Yezi's little scheme, Hase Takuya first served each of the two women a bowl of rich bean soup filled with meat close to the bone and not much bean or rice.

"Try it, this is a soup from my hometown... it's incredibly fragrant."

Takuya Hase's abrupt change in tone caught the attention of the two girls. Kayo looked at Takuya with some curiosity.

"Takuya, isn't your hometown Kyoto?"

"Yes, it just came out of my head, let's eat meat, let's eat meat!"

Each person placed a piece of meat into the two women's bowls, and Hase Takuya immediately changed the subject.

Damn it, I almost let it slip.

After all, in an island nation like this, not many people would use beans to make soup directly.

Mako glanced at Takuya, who had briefly appeared flustered, but said nothing, silently eating the grilled meat in the pot.

Actually, it's more like pan-fried meat than grilled. But who cares, as long as it's edible!

Anyway, neither of the women cared.

At the dinner table, looking at Mako across from her, who was eating meat and rice with such rudeness that she didn't seem like a woman, Jia Yezi's eyes flashed with disdain.

If Takuya were to take a woman like that out, it would lower his social standing, and Takuya himself would be looked down upon...

Absolutely not! She must not get near Takuya! Absolutely not!

Mako was completely unconcerned about Kayo's malice in not wanting Hase Takuya to discover it.

As long as there's food to eat, her dislike is irrelevant.

If necessary, we can just give them a beating then.

That's how girls are; most of the time, a beating will make them behave.

Take two lettuce leaves, wrap them around the pork belly covered in chili powder, and hand them to the two women.

"Try this way of eating."

"Thank you, Takuya~"

"Um."

Jia Yezi ate the grilled meat that Takuya had personally wrapped for her in small bites, as if she were savoring some extremely rare delicacy.

In contrast, seeing how easily Mako swallowed her food in just a few bites, Jia Yezi felt even more disgusted.

But she knew she couldn't say it aloud.

Because that would make Takuya hate her, unless, unless one day Takuya takes the initiative to speak up, then I can properly talk to this woman who doesn't know manners!

After finishing the barbecue, Mako swallowed most of it.

In the kitchen, Takuya Hase was washing dishes, while the two women sat across the kotatsu (heated table) watching TV.

"Wow, she can really eat..."

"I didn't eat yours."

As Mako calmly answered, Kayoko glanced at her with a sinister look.

"That's Takuya's money."

"It's not your money."

"You...you have no shame."

"And what about you?"

"I... I'm different from Takuya!"

Amidst her quiet, fierce rebuttal, Mako glanced at her indifferently.

"Narcissism."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Yezi's face turned bright red.

There was shyness, but even more so, anger at being exposed.

Darkness began to spread silently once more, and the fruit knife on the TV cabinet was silently pulled out.

Meow~

"What? You still want to eat? Look at your stomach, it's so big! Do you think you're some kind of genius? What if you burst?"

The sounds from the kitchen reached her ears, and a look of disdain and smugness appeared in Jia Yezi's eyes. Mako looked down at her lower abdomen, but couldn't see it.

"Eating a lot is also beneficial."

As Mako looked at Kayoko and spoke calmly, the self-conscious girl was first taken aback, and then her expression suddenly turned very sinister.
