Chapter 544: Giving You the Key to My House
"Yes."
Ren admitted without hesitation.
"So that's it."
After getting the answer she wanted, Asumi asked: "In that case, how do you manage your lunch and dinner?"
"Eating out or ordering takeout."
However, Mafuyu was responsible for ordering takeout, and she wasn't skilled in that.
"Ahem... Kouhai-kun, do you think you need someone to help you cook?" Asumi asked hopefully, "It's not a bad idea if you keep ordering takeout, right?"
"I do need it."
It would be better if someone could cook for him.
Pointing to herself, Asumi asked: "So, what do you think about me?"
"What do you mean?"
Ren couldn't understand her words.
"I'll help you cook, how about that?" She said.
"Can you?"
Ren didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
"Of course." Asumi said eagerly, "If you don't mind, I'll be responsible for your three meals a day starting now."
"What should I give you in return?"
Generally, this kind of thing is equivalent to an exchange, right?
"Nothing is needed. This is my way of saying thank you for helping me with tutoring."
Asumi stood up and walked to the kitchen.
When she asked Ren to teach her, she said she would compensate him elsewhere.
However, she could never think of any way to compensate him, and she still felt troubled by this.
Now she finally has the opportunity to redeem herself, she certainly wouldn't want to miss it.
Although she knew that her cooking skills might not be worth the time he spent teaching her, at least it would make her feel better.
"Okay."
If that's the case, Ren wouldn't have any trouble if Asumi cooked.
"Isn't your kitchen too spacious?"
After observing the internal environment of the kitchen, Asumi said wisely.
How to say it, Ren didn't even have kitchen knives at home, let alone kitchen equipment like pots.
The only complete thing was his tableware.
It seemed like he thought he couldn't cook, so he didn't buy kitchen equipment.
"Yeah. Whatever you need for cooking, I'll buy it later."
Ren felt the same way.
"No need anymore, let's do it today. After you finish teaching me, we'll go buy kitchen equipment and ingredients together, right when you see my cooking skills."
Asumi wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible so that Ren wouldn't regret it.
"Sure."
Ren didn't have any objections.
"Since we don't have kitchen equipment, I won't cook breakfast for you today. Please be patient."
After coming out of the kitchen, Asumi sat back down in chair.
"Okay. Kominami-senpai, can you tell me about your plan to help me cook?"
After hesitating for a moment, Ren asked this question.
"Let me think about it."
Asumi thought for a moment, then continued: "Tomorrow morning, I'll come earlier to cook breakfast for you, but you have to wake up early, okay?"
She could actually cook breakfast at home and bring it to him.
However, the problem is that this would raise suspicion from her father.
Besides, she has no reason to cook more dishes for one person without a reason.
She didn't want her father to know that she was tutoring at a guy's house.
There would definitely be a misunderstanding.
Therefore, she could only give up on that idea.
"It's okay."
Waking up early is very easy for him.
"After you finish teaching me this afternoon, I'll help you cook." Asumi continued.
"Um."
This is not a problem either.
"I'll come again this evening to cook dinner for you. Remember to open the door for me then."
Since Ren gave her tutoring sessions from morning until afternoon, if Asumi wanted to cook for him, she had to come here specifically.
"Are you coming in the evening too?"
Ren hesitated.
"Of course, eating three meals a day includes dinner." Asumi immediately became alert, "As promised before, you have promised me, and now it's too late to regret it."
"I might not be home in the evening, so I can't open the door for you."
This is the reason for his hesitation.
"Then when do you usually come home in the evening? I can come when you're already home." Asumi didn't want to miss the opportunity to cook for him.
"..."
After thinking about it, Ren stood up, took out the key from the cabinet, and placed it in front of Asumi.
"This?"
Asumi had a vague suspicion in her mind.
"My house key." Ren carefully thought out his words, "When I'm not home in the evening, you can open the door and come in."
After thinking for a moment, he added: "You can also come in the morning."
"Isn't this not good?"
Asumi felt a little embarrassed.
Ren took the initiative to give her the key to his house, which showed too much trust in her.
"It's okay."
Since he usually goes out for a walk in the evening and there's no guarantee when he'll be back.
If he wants to open the door for her, he has to come back at a specific time, if not, no one will cook dinner for him.
But if he returns at a specified time, it will affect his adventures.
Therefore, in order for someone to cook for him without disturbing his outings, it would be best to just give her the key to his house.
Ren wanted it all!
"Alright, then I'll accept your house key."
After careful consideration, Asumi made a decision and kept the key.
It's much more convenient to have the key, as long as she doesn't mess with his things.
This, she's sure she can still do it.
"Um."
Seeing her agree, Ren nodded very satisfied.
"Is there anything else you want to ask? If not, you can start giving me the lesson now."
After calming her emotions, Asumi took out her math textbook from her school bag.
She didn't forget the current business.
"Let's start the lesson." Ren took the textbook she handed over, "Do you want to talk about math first?"
"Yes, math is the most important subject."
Asumi is very bad at math.
"Do you need me to tell you the basics?" Ren asked.
"No, I've heard it once when I was your assistant, and the basics are still okay."
"Then I'll tell you from the first year of junior high."
To make it easier for her to see the textbook, Ren had to move his chair next to hers and sit beside her.
'Too close!'
Seeing his profile so close, Asumi felt like she couldn't listen to his lecture properly.
