In the end, with the cooperation of the three of them, the kitchen was finally restored to its original state. Shinichi and Hina are also shooed into the living room by Rui, saying that she doesn't want to disturb her making dinner, especially Hina.
They both sat back in the chairs. Hina put the plates and chopsticks in place, looking towards the kitchen with half nostalgia and half hope.
"Finally, it's no longer just takeout and beer with side dishes..."
"It's only been one day, is this too much…" Shinichi smiled, "Hina Sensei doesn't know how to cook? Regular stir-fried vegetables, boiled meat, etc. Should be?"
"Maybe… You know how?" Hina said awkwardly, "There is no kitchen in the university dormitory, and then when I go home, my mother and Rui are responsible for cooking. Even though I know some simple dishes, even if I look at the recipe, it will most likely fail…"
Listening to Hina's story about past failures, Shinichi nodded empathetically.
"At the end of the day, it's still a matter of proficiency. It shouldn't be a problem if you practice more, not to mention Rui is here. Even if you work outside in the future, now is the era of take-out. Even if you don't know how to cook, you can survive."
"Correct! Being a mature adult has nothing to do with whether you can cook or not! " Hina nodded with bright eyes, "Mom and Rui stop me every time in fear when I enter the kitchen, I'm not a kid who will blow up the kitchen, how can I be so exaggerated!
Shinichi glanced at the kitchen, which had been almost like a warehouse an hour ago, then looked back at Hina.
Slowly, he showed a somewhat wretched smile.
Then, he shook his head.
Feeling that she had been insulted in such a gentle way, Hina blushed, slapped his arm a few times in annoyance, and then muttered sadly.
"If I didn't want to make food to welcome you back, I wouldn't have made a kitchen like that..."
Shinichi was a little surprised, then smiled sincerely.
"Thank you, Hina-san."
Seeing his smile, Hina's disappointment and complaints disappeared instantly, and she also held her cheeks and smiled brightly.
"Hehe, you're welcome."
"By the way, if next time you still have this idea, please use your salary to order a luxury sushi set and don't attack innocent kitchens anymore."
Hina suddenly cried.
Ah, this familiar and annoying appearance... Her cousin really couldn't be that cute!

The aroma of dinner filled the house, and the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks made the evening lively.
After Hina happily finished a whole bowl of rice, while she was serving the second bowl of rice, she felt curious and asked the two people who were eating in silence.
"Did something happen to you while you two were out playing? I always felt that the attitude of getting along was different, and Rui no longer avoided Shinichi-kun..."
Rui said calmly, "Um, we've made up."
Shinichi's chopsticks stopped for a moment. Moreover, Hina seemed to have discussed their affair with Rui. Rui had also said "maybe I like him" in front of her before. In this case, there is no need to hide it.
So Shinichi explained it seriously, "There was no fight at first. It's just because I handled Rui's feelings a little inappropriately. There were gaps and conflicts between the arguments between the two, and imperfect communication led to a situation similar to the Cold War. To address this issue, we discussed it with each other last night and established a relationship of mutual trust and solid communication to ensure both parties' details are open and transparent so we don't make the same mistake again."
"So that's how it is~"
Even though she didn't understand it at all, Hina nodded, and continued to devour the food.
As an older sister, it would be nice if her younger siblings could get along with each other. This happiness would also allow her to eat more of Rui's cooking, which would kill two birds with one stone!
Rui put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out a piece of tissue from the side, and spoke casually.
"To put it simply, he proposed to me."
Poffft--! X2
A piece of tissue blocked Shinichi's rice grains from being sprayed as Rui expected, folding the tissue paper and throwing it into the trash.
"Joking."
Hina patted her chest, took a few breaths, and complained with grains of rice still stuck to the corners of her mouth.
"Ahem... Don't scare me, Rui, jokes like this are really..."
"Also, why do you only serve Shinichi-kun? What's clear is that I'm your biological older sister!"
Rui looked at him strangely.
"It's too much trouble to get through the table. Of course I can block it easily."
"Nonsense! You forgot your older sister even though you are in a relationship with the opposite sex!"
"That's what you think. At least someone won't make a mess in the kitchen and ask us to help clean it up."
Rui rolled her eyes.
"Wooooo..."
Hina chewed vegetables and looked at him reluctantly.
Shinichi wiped his mouth and didn't join in the conversation. He isolates himself from both sisters.
The night at Asada's house was as peaceful as ever.

Nakano Family.
"Nino, have you seen the new panties I bought?"
Ichika shouted outside the door, while Nino did her pre-sleep treatment in front of the dressing mirror without looking back.
"Is it black?"
"Yeah, the type that looks really sexy~"
"I think I put it in Itsuki's clothes hamper. Go and take a look inside."
Itsuki was suddenly surprised: "Why mine!?"
"Hah? Because I saw you shopping online last time…"
"It's okay! Let me help Ichika look for it!"
"Finding things is my weakness~"
The two voices soon disappeared.
"...Very good!"
Nino looked at herself in the mirror, with smooth white skin and a very beautiful girl, she smiled brightly and confidently and patted her cheeks.
Then she picked up the phone and opened the screen, which displayed the chat interface.
[Next week, you haven't forgotten, right?]
[How dare I forget? I'm ready to work as a mover for you all day long]
"Hmph, that's good~"
Her eyes scanned the words over and over again without getting bored, Nino took a deep breath.
Can't be too happy!
That's what she initially thought.
As a result, the next moment, she threw herself onto the bed with her cell phone in her arms, her face flushed and she started to roll over, her face filled with excitement.
"It's a date! Finally we can date! Worth studying hard beforehand, the long-awaited date is finally here, hahahaha!"
While holding her hot cheeks, she read the chat history again.
Then, the sound of rolling and kicking the bed was heard in the girl's room.

Ichika's room.
"Hmph~ hum~"
Ichika casually hummed a tuneless song, flicked off her sexy panties and closed the door with her foot.
Putting her panties on the table, she took out her cell phone which suddenly vibrated in her pocket, with a message displayed on it.
[Next Saturday at 9 am, meet at the entrance of Cinema XX?]
After staring at those words in silence for a long time, Ichika narrowed her eyes, a pink smile of joy appearing on her face.
"No problem, I'm really looking forward to it~"
After a while, she put her phone away.
"This is very interesting..."
A gentle and charming tune with deep meaning sounded in the girl's room.
