Chapter 707: Kirisu Mafuyu Attempts Dessert Making
When Ren returned home, it was already evening.
Not much happened while at Fumino's house, mostly just sitting together, snacking, and chatting. However, Fumino and Itsuki talked more, and he was responsible for listening and snacking, only occasionally speaking a word or two when the topic came to him.
Moreover, for him, although he had made great progress compared to before, engaging in long conversations was still something he didn't quite master.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there was no progress at all in this regard.
Sitting at the table, Ren took out phone, planning to see if anyone had sent him a message. As soon as he opened it, Chika's message popped up.
Fujiwara Chika: [I'm coming back to Japan today!!! How are you? Are you super excited?]
"Not excited at all." Ren replied to what she said.
Surprisingly, Chika didn't reply for a long time, which made him unaccustomed to getting replies in seconds.
"After she returns, she can teach me how to make board games directly."
After making sure no one else had messaged him, Ren put his phone down and began planning what would happen after Chika's return.
Honestly, the board game prepared for Rizu so far hadn't made much progress.
It was very difficult to create a new board game, especially since he had never played one before.
It seemed like Chika needed to teach him.
Try making a board game before the summer vacation.
After checking the calendar, Ren began planning his small summer vacation.
······
Sunday morning.
Since it was Sunday again, Ren didn't have to give Asumi lessons today.
But...
"Kouhai-kun, are you going on a date with another girl today?"
Wearing an apron, Asumi asked.
Indeed, even though she didn't need tutoring, she still came to his house and made breakfast.
"No plans for today." Ren answered.
He was just an ordinary person; how could he have plans all day?
"Really?"
Asumi couldn't believe it.
"Of course, I'm going for a walk today."
Hang out and think of board game ideas and how to play them.
"This is so strange."
With a sigh, she went to the kitchen.
Although she knew Ren had no plans today, she had no intention of taking the opportunity to extend an invitation to him.
Because she had her own business.
It was as simple as that.
*Knock Knock*
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Huh? Right now?"
Ren remembered that he hadn't made any arrangements with anyone else today about who would come to see him at home.
With such doubt, he walked towards the door.
"..."
Hearing the knock on the door, Asumi stopped and, unwillingly, stretched her head out of the kitchen, curious about who was knocking.
After a while, she thought of a few possible candidates.
Seriously, was Ren's relationship with women too good to be true?
"Kirisu-sensei?"
As Ren opened the door, he saw Mafuyu wearing the Shuchi'in Academy sports uniform standing before him.
What worried him was that, for some reason, there was a lot of flour on her body, except for her face; there was more flour elsewhere.
"Excuse me... Kamikawa-san, please come to my house. There's something I want to ask you."
Noticing Asumi peeking out from the kitchen, Mafuyu coughed twice and said seriously.
"Sure."
Ren had already guessed.
It seemed the house was messy again, and she needed help cleaning it up.
"Remember to bring your key. I'll leave after preparing breakfast. I won't stay home to open the door for you."
Seeing her agree to Mafuyu's request, Asumi emphasized it firmly.
"Um."
After hearing her reminder, Ren took keys.
"Also, don't forget to come back for breakfast." Asumi asked specifically.
"Yeah, don't worry."
Ren went out and closed the door.
"Kouhai-kun really can't have a day off."
After sighing like this, Asumi returned to the kitchen and continued to make breakfast.
······
"Sensei, your house doesn't seem dirty."
Ren followed Mafuyu to her house, looking into a fairly clean room, and asked in confusion.
Compared to before, her room today was absolutely perfect.
The only downside was flour stains on the floor, but for him, that was good enough.
"Do you not need my help cleaning?"
"The kitchen."
Mafuyu blushed with embarrassment and said guiltily.
"Um."
So Ren went into the kitchen.
After a moment of silence, he chose to apologize: "Sorry, I said it too soon."
Compared to the very tidy living room, it was not an exaggeration to say that the environment in the kitchen was a disaster.
Flour scattered on the floor, an oven that seemed to have exploded, unknown black objects on the cutting board, broken porcelain, unknown books scattered on the ground...
"Ugh..."
As Ren said this, Mafuyu's face flushed with embarrassment.
"Sensei, have you tried cooking again?"
Based on everything he saw, Ren made a reasonable guess.
If so, then everything would make sense.
"No. I just tried making dessert, not cooking." Mafuyu replied.
"You used the oven?"
Seeing the already pitiful oven, Ren remembered Mafuyu saying that she bought the oven to try making desserts.
"Right. But for some reason, the oven broke, and my cake failed."
Regarding this, Mafuyu gave a simple explanation.
"Where's Miharu? Wasn't she here today?"
At this point, Ren realized this.
"Trivia. She had to go back to school today and will only return around evening." Mafuyu explained, "So, I planned to use this time to practice making cakes."
"I followed the recipe, but for some reason, it failed."
"Then the kitchen accidentally ended up like this."
The more she talked, the guiltier Mafuyu felt.
