Feeling Treated Unfairly
"That's not the point. The point is, Kirisu-sensei, did you just say you wanted Kouhai-kun to come to your house for lunch?"
Asumi didn't answer her question but kept confirming with Mafuyu.
Earlier, she felt Mafuyu came to Ren and had nothing to do with her. Besides, Mafuyu didn't know she was here.
But what she didn't expect was for Mafuyu to let Ren go to house for lunch.
This made her unable to sit still and want to compete with her for Ren, didn't it?
She finally found a place where she could compensate him, and she would never give up so easily.
"Yes."
Mafuyu didn't see anything wrong with this issue and admitted it straight away.
Moreover, Asumi must have heard everything she said earlier.
Even though she denied it, it didn't mean anything.
"No, I have to make lunch for him today."
Asumi stood in front of Ren and blocked Mafuyu.
At this moment, doubt in Mafuyu's heart grew deeper, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
So, she asked again: "Answer my question, Kominami-san, why are you showing up at Kamikawa-san's house?"
"I came to his house for a lesson."
Facing Mafuyu with a full aura, Asumi yielded and answered honestly.
"Lesson compensation? Then what do you mean by cooking for him?" Mafuyu then asked.
Asumi had her dreams, but because of her poor science grades, she couldn't do anything.
Therefore, she asked Ren to give her guidance, which Mafuyu could understand.
"Because this is the deal, Kouhai-kun will help me with the lessons, and I will be responsible for cooking for the junior." Asumi squeezed her hand and asked, "So, Sensei, please don't compete with me for him."
"Fair enough."
Regarding her explanation, Mafuyu didn't find any problem.
She also knew that Ren couldn't cook; otherwise, she wouldn't have invited him for lunch after making lunch.
"In that case, I leave it to you to cook for Kamikawa-san from now on." Mafuyu made the decision.
Initially, she wasn't good at cooking, but now she had someone else to do it for her; it could be said to be the best.
Furthermore, Asumi also needed such an agreement, so she had no reason to compete with her.
"Thank you very much, Sensei. So, this afternoon..."
Before Asumi could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Mafuyu.
"No, we're having curry for lunch today. I made a lot of it. It doesn't matter if three people eat it. Kominami-san, if you haven't had lunch, you can eat it too."
In fact, she didn't control the portion well and accidentally made it too much.
"No problem."
After hesitating for a moment, Asumi agreed.
Since she couldn't cook for Ren at noon, she could do it in the afternoon.
As long as Mafuyu didn't compete with her in the future.
"How about you, Kamikawa-san?"
Mafuyu looked at the silent Ren.
"I'm good."
Ren responded gently.
In fact, he could eat whatever he wanted for lunch today, whether it's the lunch Asumi would make for him or the curry made by Mafuyu.
Now that they had reached an agreement, it couldn't be better.
This way, he didn't have to make decisions on his own.
"In that case, shall we go to your house for lunch now?" Asumi asked casually.
"I'll bring the curry and eat it at Kamikawa-san's house."
Mafuyu didn't want Asumi to see her messy house.
Yesterday Ren only helped her clean the kitchen, but not elsewhere, so her house was still in a state where no one could see it.
After saying this, Mafuyu turned around and walked towards her house.
In this regard, Asumi didn't mind and went into the room with Ren.
"By the way, Kouhai-kun, you and Kirisu-sensei have a very good relationship."
Sitting at the dining table, Asumi asked him.
"It's just a teacher-student relationship."
Ren didn't know what was going on between him and Mafuyu.
"Why don't I feel the same?" Asumi joked with a smile, "If it's just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, would Kirisu-sensei cook for you and call you for lunch?"
"..."
Ren remained silent and didn't answer her question.
Seeing his reaction, Asumi was very sensitive and didn't ask anymore.
She always felt that if she kept asking, she might find out a bad secret and offend Mafuyu's feelings.
"Excuse me."
At this moment, Mafuyu came in carrying a tray of tea with three plates of curry on top.
When she arrived at the dining table, she placed the curry in front of them. Before they could say anything, Mafuyu praised: "It looks delicious. It makes one's appetite."
"I'm better at making curry."
"You can see that."
Mafuyu urged, "Quickly wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Ren and Asumi hurriedly washed their hands.
"Ittadakimasu."
After returning from washing her hands, Asumi picked up her spoon.
"Delicious."
After tasting it a few times, Asumi commented.
Although the curry made by Mafuyu wasn't too delicious, just average, considering Mafuyu made it, it tasted good.
"Kominami-san, you don't need to deliberately say such things to please me. Just evaluate me honestly."
Mafuyu naturally saw through her little mind.
"Actually, I think it tastes good." Asumi defended herself, "What about you, Kouhai-kun."
She believed that Ren would praise Mafuyu's cooking skills just like her.
"Average."
Ren said seriously.
Mafuyu's cooking skills didn't improve at all, nor did they decline; they were still very average.
"Can't you give even a word of praise? This is Sensei's curry!" Asumi complained inwardly.
"Um."
Mafuyu was very satisfied with Ren's assessment and slightly raised the corner of her mouth.
'Hey, Sensei, what's with your expression? Why do you still criticize me when I praise it for being delicious, but why do you smile when Kouhai-kun says it's just average?'
Asumi noticed the subtle change in Mafuyu's expression and felt that she was being treated unfairly.
