For a moment, I almost lost myself over Shinonome-kun’s gift of daifuku, but mama called out “Come on, hurry up and start making the cake”, bringing my consciousness back to the real world.
I had Shinonome-kun sit at the dining table, and with mama’s help, I started preparing the cake.
By the way, the apron I was wearing today was also bought by mama for this day. It’s a cute one with frilly ruffles, like a newlywed wife would wear.
So, I tried to show off my cute apron look to Shinonome-kun by spinning around for no reason, but the important Shinonome-kun was so engrossed in chatting with mama that he didn’t look at me at all…
Mama is shameless and has no restraint, you know.
Even Shinonome-kun seemed overwhelmed by mama, completely ignoring me.
「Mama! You’re troubling Shinonome-kun! Mama, please be quiet!』
「Oh my, this girl is already jealous of her mom, right? Shinonome-kun♪」
『Hahaha, I guess so…』
「That’s what I mean! You’re troubling Shinonome-kun!』
「Yes, yes, I understand♪ If you keep getting angry like that, Shinonome-kun might dislike you, you know?」
『Hahaha, I guess so…』
「That’s-why-I’m-saying!」
It’s chaos with mom around.
But as expected of Shinonome-kun.
Even in this situation that had become mama’s solo show, he forcibly changed the topic.
『How has it been since then? Has he said anything to you?』
Shinonome-kun, you’re really worried about me, aren’t you?
You’re so kind after all.
『If you ever feel like you’re in danger, let me know right away, okay?」
He’s the best!!!
How reliable, Shinonome-kun!
I love him!
I love him so much!
At this point, mom butted in again.
「That’s right! I heard Shinonome-kun helped Kiyoka! This girl has been going on and on about Shinonome-kun, Shinonome-kun every day, it’s been quite something, ufufu.」
Mama, what are you saying!
And, Shi-no-no-me-kun! Your pronunciation is weird!
Mama’s rampage didn’t stop there.

「But still, Shinonome-kun is hard to say, isn’t it? Your first name was Seiji-kun, right? Let’s call you Seiji-kun.」
W-W-What are you saying!?
But maybe this is a chance…
「Then, Kiyoka, why don’t you call him Seiji-kun too? Right, Seiji-kun♪」
『Hahaha, I guess so…』
Gokuri… Did Shinonome-kun just… OK it?
I gathered my courage and confirmed…
「S-S-S-Seiji-kun? Is it okay if I call you by your first name too…?」
『Ahh, yeah, it’s fine. Shinonome is hard to say anyway.』
Yesssss!!!
Mama, nice assist!!!
You were useful for the first time today!
After that, when the cake was done, I brewed some tea and we moved to my room.
I prepared the tea on the table, placed slices of cake for two, and sat next to Seiji-kun to start eating.
Seiji-kun nodded while saying, “The cake is delicious. Suzumiya, you’re good at cooking too” praising me!
Isn’t this almost like saying “If you’re such a good cook, you can be my wife anytime!”?
Eh? It’s not?
Well, whatever.
After eating the cake, it was chat time with Seiji-kun.
Now without mama’s interference, I tried to be as spoiled as possible.
「Ufufu, Seiji-kun♪」
『Ou, what’s up?』
「Ufufu, it’s nothing. I just wanted to call your name, Seiji-kun♪」
『Oi, are you okay? You’re being a bit creepy today, Suzumiya-san.』
「Ehー It’s mean to call a girl creepy, you know? Seiji-kun♪」
『Why are you acting so spoiled towards me!』
「Because~ it’s Seiji-kun’s fault, you know? (It’s your fault for capturing my heart and making me fall head over heels for you☆)」
『Haa, fine. Do whatever you want…』
However, I’m still a beginner in love.
Even though I was told to do whatever I want, I didn’t have the courage to do so, and the lucky underwear I had prepared didn’t get a chance to make an appearance that day.
