“It’s delicious. Thank you, Auntie.”
“Oh? That one was made by dear. It is indeed delicious.”
“As expected of Ruki!”
Sometime later, the dinner could only be described as harmonious. Even though Yuika and Minori-senpai were still quite averse to me, they were already used to my presence around them. They enjoyed the meal with us. I even managed to tease Yuika-senpai, causing her to frown and pick up a piece of wrapped salmon that I prepared, stuffing it in her mouth to relieve her annoyance.
Upon learning that it was made by me, it was too late for her to spit it out. Instead, she gulped it down without chewing.
Almost instantly, her face turned purple. She was about to choke on it.
How could someone choke on it eluded me but there was no time to waste.
Before the others could react to it, my body instantaneously moved on instinct, grabbing my cup that was still filled with tea and moving behind her.
