*RING RING*

Hearing my phone alarm I feel around the bed to find it, Feeling the phone in my hand I turn my head at it to check the time, seeing 05:00 I quickly get up and stretch my body to stimulate my blood flow

slowly walking to the bathroom sink and washing my face 'Good morning sis'

[Good morning] A line of text appears at the edge of my vision, Exiting the bathroom I go to the kitchen to prepare my and Fujimiyu's breakfast, After washing the rice I turn on the rice cooker to on and take out the beef out of the freezer, having nothing to do I re-entered the bathroom to get a quick bath until the beef unfroze

After a quick bath, I dried myself and put on my school outfit, Going back to the kitchen I felt the beef was already at room temperature, so I took out all the spices I needed to soak the beef, Turned on the stove, and cutting all the beef into chunks efficiently, checking if the pan is done heating I threw all the blended spices into the pan and let it saute, after adding the beef after, while I waiting I prepare the curry sauce, grabbing the curry blocks I threw them into a pot with water and waited while waiting I decided to have a chat with sis 'so how many hosts have you been with'

[You are the 9th host, and for your information, I have never always been the Cupid system, I've been called gaming system, heroic system, and many more]

'So you guys change names to fit the systems? Tell me some stories about your previous experiences'

[Well alright, my 1st host was a little kid in a villa-]

- 5 different system stories later -

[And after that, the hero unfortunately died because he didn't listen to me]

I looked over the pan to see that the beef was done absorbing all the flavoring so I turned off the heat and quickly put the rice into the containers and put the portions of beef blocks over the rice, grabbing the curry sauce and pouring them over the beef and done, my beautifully made curry rendang, feeling a little bit proud of myself I looked at the time, 06:20 am

After putting all the stuff into my backpack and carrying the food by hand I quickly went to Fujimiyu's door and rang the bell, hearing a voice call out from the other side "Who is it"

"Fujimiyu it's me Hayashi" I quickly answer 

"Wait a moment" and after a short while I heard footsteps growing louder and with a swing of a door Fujimiyu came into view wearing the school uniform "What is it, Hayashi?"

"I made too much food and it would be a waste for me to eat it all so I wanted to give you some" handing the box into his hand

"Ah, thanks but you don't need to give this to me" Fujimiyu tried to refuse

"cmon with the condition of your current apartment, you probably can't even do house chores correctly let alone cook, and I made too much anyway and can't finish it all by myself"

"Ugh" I saw an imaginary spear pierce through him as he looked hurt by my words

"Hayashi, do you need to be that blunt" Fujimiyu looked at me and grabbed the box "Fine if you insist on giving me this"

With Fujimiyu defeated I danced a little in my head as a notification suddenly appeared in front of me 

[Side quest completed: Give Fujimiyu breakfast in the morning for their school

15 points added to your account

11 points reduced from your account]

[notification: your status has been updated from 'in debt' to 'normal']

Finally getting out of debt, I looked at the depressed Fujimiyu

"Fujimiyu let's go to school" I invited Fujimiyu to go to school together

"Yeah let's" Fujimiyu recovered from his depressive state and started walking with me shortly after following him

reaching school we entered the class and quietly waited for the teacher to arrive and teach the class

*school bell sfx* The school bell rang signaling the time for lunch, Turning to my side I looked at Fujimiyu to ask him "Fujimiyu wanna eat lunch together?" and before he could answer another voice called out from the classroom door

"Amane, Hayashi wanna eat lunch together" Recognizing the owner of the voice I turned around and saw Itsuki walking towards us

"Ah Itsuki, sure let's go eat" I quickly accepted his invitation

"Sure, sure" Fujimiyu also agreed and with the three of us we quickly arrived at the cafeteria to sit down, Itsuki looked at us with confusion "Are you guys not gonna get food?"

"Brought my own" I answer taking out a box wrapped in a cloth to keep it warm

"I understand why you're sitting still but what about you Fujimiyu?" Itsuki looked at his friend, he always gets his lunch from the cafeteria as he is always been a bad cook at home and lives alone

"I also brought my own" Fujimiyu put a lunch box on the table, making Itsuki's eyes widen

"Gasp, who gave that to you? Was it the angel, Don't tell me you are already in a relationship with her" Itsuki fired a bunch of questions at Fujimiyu which made Fujimiyu annoyed

"Don't jump to conclusions, no it was not from Mahiru, This lunch was given to me by Hayashi" Fujimiyu answered

"Hehe, yea I made too much today so I wanted to give some out" I scratched my cheek pretending it was made by accident

"Oooohh you can cook?" Itsuki looked at me with curiosity

"Well living by myself for years, you pick up a skill or two, and unlike a certain neighbor of mine, I don't rely on store-bought food"

"Oi I heard that you know" Fujimiyu looked at me with annoyance

"When did I tell you it was you I'm talking about Hehe" I gave him a grin

"I- bu- ugh" Fujimiyu looked at a loss for words

"Right Itsuki, go get your food, we will wait" I looked at Itsuki to remind him

"OH right right" Itsuki quickly dashed to the crowds to disappear for a while and came back with a tray of food

"Hayashi, I forgot to ask but what did you make?" Fujimiyu asked while he and Itsuki looked at the still-clothed box

"Why don't you find out yourself" I looked at him waiting for him to open it

He looked at me for a moment and prosed to open the box to see dark cuts of beef covered with curry sauce on top of rice

"Did you burnt the beef?" he turned to me with hesitant eyes

"OI it's just very well done" I complained while opening my lunchbox "Look, mine is also the same"

"That doesn't tell me if it's edible or not" Hayashi looked me dead in the eyes

"its rendang, it's an Indonesian food" I pouted giving him a glare

"rendang from Indonesia? How do you know how to cook it" Itsuki asks

"The internet, duh" I lied to make it believable

"Right, why did you make rendang specifically?" Itsuki asked again

"I want to try out new food, alright Stop asking questions, Itsuki wants to try some?"

"Uhh sure" Itsuki answered skeptically

Grabbing one of the beef cuts and putting it in Itsuki's tray, I joined my hands together and prayed "Thanks for the food" and proceeded to dig in, I remembered it was hard and tasty, but the hardness was softened a lot from the curry sauce as it hydrated the beef, and a lot of the curry flavor is inside the beef

{author: making me hungry just by writing ;=; }

Looking over to Fujimiyu and Itsuki, they took a little bite from the beef, and looking at their surprised reaction I was relieved that it was to their liking
