Let’s Eat Together!
"This..."
Seeing the bowl with only one noodle in front of Ren, and then looking at her udon, which was so full that it almost overflowed, Fumino didn't know what to say.
Is this different treatment?
But this is too much, isn't it?
"Thank you."
Seeing the only noodle in the bowl, Ren calmly expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome!"
Father Ogata approached and warned, "Even though I'm very grateful to you for helping Rizu-chan with her lessons, if you dare to take advantage of the tutoring session to make any moves on the beautiful Rizu-chan, it won't be tolerated at all. If you have bad intentions... I will crush you and turn you into udon dough."
"I won't." Ren replied.
He didn't have such thoughts about Rizu.
"Dad, don't be harsh on Kamikawa-san, quickly bring the prepared udon." Rizu said discontentedly, "If you keep this up, I'll ignore you for three days."
"H-How could that be! Isn't dad doing this for Rizu-chan?"
After hearing his daughter's words, Father Ogata completely ignored Reb's thoughts and started to defend himself.
"I don't need to do this to you; it's disgusting." Rizu said with disgust.
"Disgusting..."
Father Ogata fell and couldn't get up again.
The surrounding visitors were already used to this scene and didn't make a fuss.
As Father Ogata took a hard hit, Rizu had to go to the kitchen herself and bring the luxurious udon that had been prepared, not just udon with one noodle.
"Um... Ricchan, would you like to go and comfort your dad?"
Seeing Father Ogata crouching in the corner looking very pathetic, Fumino asked Rizu.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine after a while." Rizu continued without turning around, "You better eat udon first, or it won't taste good later."
"Okay, then I'll start."
After ceremonially shouting, Fumino picked up chopsticks and began to eat.
"Delicious."
Feeling the pleasure of the food satisfying her taste, Fumino happily commented.
"Um."
Seeing her like this, Rizu was very pleased, then looked at Ren.
"Is the udon not to your liking?"
She asked anxiously when she realized that Ren hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time.
"No, I just can't eat too much." Ren explained.
If he really wanted to eat, he could still finish it, but the problem was, now that he had finished eating, what would he do with the dinner Gabriel made for him when he got home?
It's impossible for him to eat twice in such a short time without using his superpower.
And if he doesn't eat, the bowl of noodles in front of him will go to waste.
Therefore, when Father Ogata served a bowl of udon with only one noodle, he was very grateful.
After thinking about it, Rizu made a decision: "Well then, let's eat together."
"Is that okay?"
Ren didn't mind eating the same bowl of noodles with her.
"It's fine, Kamikawa-san can't eat it alone, right?"
After saying that, Rizu stood up, took two empty bowls from the kitchen, gave one to him, and placed a full bowl of udon between them.
Since they were sitting facing each other, placing it in the middle was very convenient for both of them.
The method she applied was to eat a bowl of noodles like hot pot, and put as much as she wanted into her own bowl.
"Thank you." Ren expressed his gratitude.
This way, he didn't have to worry about eating dinner twice.
"You're welcome." Rizu replied softly, then urged, "Kamikawa-san, please eat quickly."
"OK."
Ren extended his chopsticks toward the udon in the middle, but when his chopsticks were still in the air, he suddenly felt a strong gaze on him, making him very uncomfortable.
Looking along his line of sight, he saw Father Ogata standing in front of the kitchen door, staring at him without blinking.
Realizing that he was actually being watched, Father Ogata pointed to the bowl of udon between the two of them, then flattened his hand in front of his throat like a knife and pulled it out with a fierce look to warn him.
As long as he dared to eat the same bowl of noodles as his precious daughter, he would immediately kill him.
(What does it mean?)
Seeing Father Ogata's actions, Ren completely didn't understand his intention.
The first action should refer to the udon, and the second action should refer to murder, right?
The combination meant that if the noodles weren't finished, he would commit suicide?
After thinking for a long time, Ren came to that conclusion.
To confirm his guess, he asked, "Ogata-san, can you see what your dad's movements mean?"
"Oh."
Rizu who was eating noodles with her head down, lifted her head when she heard his request and looked towards her father.
Realizing that his daughter was looking up, Father Ogata immediately discarded all his fierceness and smiled at her.
"Dad has to let us eat noodles as soon as possible."
After staring for a while without seeing anything, unable to see anything, Rizu turned and answered casually.
"So that's it."
After hearing what she said, Ren safely took the chopsticks of noodles and put them into his bowl.
It seems that his guess was correct.
"How does it taste?"
Seeing him start eating, Rizu asked hopefully.
"Yes, delicious." Ren commented softly.
"That's good."
After getting the desired evaluation, Rizu happily continued eating udon.
Not long after eating udon together, Ren noticed that Father Ogata was coming to his side more and more often, and he would stop every time he passed by.
This made him a little confused about what was happening.
"What are you..."
The two of them eating a bowl of udon together certainly caught Fumino's attention, but she didn't know what to say.
The more she looked at it, the more she felt useless, like a light bulb.
