Kamikawa Ren Begins Teaching

"Sure."

Ren agrees.

Although his original purpose was to buy cake ingredients, if Mafuyu wants to buy other snacks, then it's okay.

Just earlier, he himself said that if she has something she wants to buy, he can help bring it back.

He can't go back on his word now, can he?

As for Mafuyu, her house was just full of everything, but now she suddenly wants to buy snacks...

It's not important at all; everyone's ideas always change.

Moreover, Ren has met girls who suddenly change their minds multiple times, and he's used to it, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.

Mafuyu says softly, "Let's start from scratch."

After finally finding out Ren's preferences, she certainly wants to make good use of them.

Since she doesn't know how to properly thank him for helping her, she can't miss this good opportunity now.

"Um."

Ren doesn't mind at all.

So, Mafuyu starts taking him to visit the snack area.

Then she asks him about his views and attitudes towards the snacks, so she can judge whether to buy them.

"Do you want to eat this?"

Pointing to a packet of oddly flavored potato chips on the shelf, Mafuyu asks.

Staring at the bag of potato chips, Ren answers with a somewhat two-faced tone, "I don't want to eat it."

"I kind of want to eat it."

Seeing his reaction, Mafuyu puts a bag of potato chips into her shopping basket.

"What about this one?"

"I don't want to eat it."

Ren just glanced at the snack Mafuyu pointed out this time, then looked away.

"Um, I also don't want to eat it."

In this regard, Mafuyu makes a very sensible judgment.

How to say it, she feels Ren is too easy to read.

When asked about snacks he wants to eat, he will keep staring at them, but if it's snacks he doesn't want to eat, he will look at them at most once and then not look at them again.

Even then, Mafuyu doesn't need to ask; she can tell whether Ren wants to eat it or not just by looking at him.

So, after a while, the shopping basket Ren is carrying is already full.

"Should be almost done, right? Do you need to buy more?"

After putting the last packet of snacks into the shopping basket and taking up space in the shopping basket, Mafuyu usually looks into his eyes.

Looking into her eyes, Ren answers, "If you still want to buy, Sensei, I can continue to accompany you."

Since he doesn't want to buy those snacks, he doesn't have the right to keep buying them.

Anyway, he doesn't care; he's just buying snacks with Mafuyu.

"...Satisfied. Let's buy cake ingredients."

Without looking around anymore, it's probably unnecessary to buy more, Mafuyu continues to make judgments.

"Okay."

······

"Thank you. Aren't we buying too much?"

After leaving the convenience store, Mafuyu looks at the two large bags in her hands and says a little embarrassedly.

Although she bought snacks because she wanted to buy them for Ren, she accidentally bought too many snacks, which would also burden Ren who is responsible for carrying the bags.

Although she said that she can help in part, Ren still refuses, saying, "I can do it myself."

"Ordinary level."

Ren doesn't feel anything wrong with this, but that's normal.

"It's hard. I feel like I bought a lot of cake and waffle ingredients."

Originally, Mafuyu only thought of buying a little, but at his suggestion, she still bought a lot of raw materials she needed to use.

"Practice requires a lot of materials."

Based on the ingredients used to make meat buns, Ren answers matter-of-factly.

Besides, the one who needs to be taught is Mafuyu, so it's okay to buy more.

"True."

Mafuyu agrees with this.

Without wasting much time on the road, the two of them return home together.

"Now I can teach you how to make cakes."

After taking out the required ingredients from the bags, Ren puts on apron again.

"Um, I can just pack the snacks, so I don't need to bother you."

Seeing him wanting to help store the snacks, Mafuyu quickly stops him.

"Do you really not need me to help you?" Ren asks suspiciously.

He doesn't trust others' abilities to solve problems so much.

"Overkill! Don't look at me like that. That's just to find a place to store things. I can still do it for now!" Mafuyu replies with as much certainty as possible.

In fact, she just wants to transfer the snacks she bought to Ren.

So there's no need to store them at all.

"Okay."

At her urging, Ren chooses to trust her.

"Anyway, let's learn how to make cakes first."

Since she can't think of a way to give him snacks without being rejected by him, Mafuyu changes the topic of conversation and puts on apron.

"Okay."

This was originally planned, but now it's officially starting to be implemented.

To achieve the best teaching effect, Ren uses some superpowers that can enhance teaching efficiency.

"First..."

Next to him, Mafuyu sharpens her ears to listen to his teachings, and watches his movements without blinking, then continues learning.

······

"Surprised. This is actually a cake I made."

Seeing the beautiful fruit cake placed on the table, Mafuyu sighs.

Because the oven at home is not too big and can only be eaten by two people, they only made a very small cake.

Ren, sitting across from her, "As long as you follow the tutorial book, it's very easy to make something like this."

"Try it and see."

Saying this, Mafuyu takes the knife and carefully cuts it, handing it to Ren, and then cuts it herself.

Just by looking at its appearance, you can already tell it's delicious.

"Tasty."

After taking a bite of the cake, Ren gives it high praise.

After all, he also worked hard to make this cake, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he received a lot of praise.

"Try it. I'll do it again, on my own."

After eating a small piece of her cake with great satisfaction, Mafuyu says enthusiastically.

This time she will make her cake without relying on Ren's help at all.

"Sensei, this cake isn't finished yet." Ren reminds.

"It's okay. Just consider it lunch."

"Okay."

It's almost noon now, so it's not impossible to have cake for lunch.

Ren just doesn't know why, but he always feels something is wrong with this development.
