「Ryuugasaki-san, what are you doing for meals on the weekend?」
「Meals! …But you’ve been making them for me every day, so I’m okay for the weekend.」
It’s true that I’ve been making dinner for Ryuugasaki-san for four days in a row since I found her in front of my house on Tuesday.
That’s fine, but on weekends, she’ll need lunch as well as dinner. She seems to stay home on days off.
「The effort to cook isn’t that different, so it’s fine, but I was thinking I need to consider the amount when I go shopping.」
「Really? You’re not bothered?」
「Of course not. I’m happy when you eat it so deliciously.」
It’s not like I’m making anything too elaborate. I’m definitely not doing things like frying food.
There’s no way I can say no when she looks a little sad, yet expectant.
Well, it’s also true that I’m happy about it, and I’m the one who suggested it, so it’s totally fine.
「Can I help with the shopping?」
「No, it’s okay. I’m also taking requests if there’s anything you want to eat.」
「Something I want to eat… Hamburger steak! It was super delicious.」
Hamburger steak, the first thing I made, huh. The ingredients and seasoning were simple, but maybe I should make a lot this time and freeze it.
After Ryuugasaki-san had gone home and I’d finished cleaning up, I start up my computer. Clicking on one icon launched the app.
It’s an online game I started playing when I entered high school, where you cooperate to complete quests like defeating monsters and gathering materials.
Rex: Good evening~
C.P.: Oh, Rex-chin! Konbanwa~!
Harry: Yo!
Sandra: Hey
☨Loriel☨: Konnichiwa~
When I log in and greet everyone, the members belonging to the same guild greet me back.
By the way, Rex is my character name. My name is Tsukasa, so I came up with it through the association of the first letter T → T-Rex the dinosaur → Rex.
It was just about time for a limited-time quest to start, so we did that and then went into chat time.
C.P.: Harry, got any interesting stories~?
Harry: Stop with the sudden unreasonable demands lol

☨Loriel☨: I wanna hear too~
SS: Same
Rex: Won’t asking Harry just lead to lovey-dovey talk?
Harry seems to be a high school boy like me, but apparently, He knows SS in real life. Moreover, there’s even a suspicion that SS is a girl and they’re dating.
Harry denies it, but they always log in at the same time and act together, so it’s super suspicious. Man, I’m so envious.
Sandra: I have something to consult with everyone
C.P.: What, what~?
Harry: It’s rare for Sandra to ask for advice
☨Loriel☨: If it’s a consultation, leave it to this Holy Angel Loriel~!
Rex: What’s up?
Sandra: What’s the best way to thank someone for a meal?
C.P.: Hmm, it depends on the person~
☨Loriel☨: If they treated you, maybe you should treat them next time?
C.P.: If it’s a friend, treat them back, if it’s someone you like, maybe act spoiled?
SS: Harry’s the expert
Harry: Hey lol Don’t make unreasonable demands
Sandra: It’s a friend, but it’s complicated
☨Loriel☨: Has spring come for Sandra too… Well, good luck
C.P.: I’m logging off because I have to wake up early, but let me know if there’s any progress~
C.P. has an idol persona and acts accordingly, but everyone doesn’t really pay attention.
I feel like she was logged in all the time during summer vacation, and it’s even questionable if she’s working.
I’m a student and can’t spend much on microtransactions, so I’m more of a casual player who enjoys chatting like this. You can’t see their faces, but that’s precisely why it’s easy to consult about things.
Well, I haven’t lived long enough to have much life experience, and I don’t socialize much, so I mostly just observe.
Even now, they’re talking about treating each other to meals, but my only experience with that is treating Genta to lunch at school. And even that was as a thank you.
While occasionally joining in the chat, I exchange messages with Ryuugasaki-san on my smartphone. Ryuugasaki-san’s replies aren’t that fast, so I can manage it just fine.
When I imagine her staring at the screen and typing diligently, I can’t help but grin to myself.
