บท 1991: Demanding Apology

The dinner was sumptuous. Ichihara-san truly put forth her gratitude into making it which made it feel like she overdid it for whatever work I had done. Still, with her consideration in the equation, I didn’t voice that out and accepted the gratitude.

During it, Koharu kept bragging about how her mom’s cooking was great and a lot better than restaurants. Little did she know that every time she did that, Ichihara-san would look like she took an arrow to her knee from how embarrassed she became.

And it’s not helping that I also kept dishing out praises to it. Nevertheless, it’s my honest evaluation. It somehow reminds me of Miwa-nee’s cooking. Both of them probably spent their time as a housewife mastering that craft to please their husbands — or ex-husband in Miwa-nee's case.

As for whether she’s getting the appreciation she deserves for it, I have no idea. All I know is… Ichihara-san is also weak to praise.
