After everyone came in, Takehara Ryota hurriedly pulled Kiritani Tetsuya, who had changed into slippers, to a corner, looked at him with half puzzled and half surprised eyes and said, "Tetsuya, why are Ibuki-san and the others here too?

Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"I sent a message more than an hour ago, maybe you didn't receive it."

Kiritani Tetsu also returned a slightly puzzled look.

"I left my phone outside the room to charge in the afternoon."

After Kiritani Tetsuya reminded him, Takehara Ryota scratched his head and said, then he remembered that his mobile phone happened to be nearby, and he immediately pulled out the charging cable from the mobile phone interface, and clicked on the screen to take a look.

As expected, there was a line message sent by Tetsuya Kiritani an hour ago.

Seeing this, Ryota Takehara showed a slightly embarrassed smile to Tetsuya Kiritani.

"But I didn't expect Tetsuya that you would bring so many people here, especially Ibuki-san and Utsunomiya-san. I thought they were not familiar with each other."

Turning around and looking at the two divine girls who were talking together, Takehara Ryota spoke with some emotion.

"It's a pity that I originally wanted to hold an appreciation meeting with Tetsuya in the evening, but looking at the current situation, it's a pity that it can't be done."

Saying that, Ryota Takehara exhaled slowly, his face full of regret.

"I never planned to play that kind of thing with you," Kiritani Tetsuya said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, then I'd better put it away and taste it again later when I'm alone."

Takehara Ryota waved his hand and said, then turned around and prepared to walk to the aisle outside. However, he saw Ayako Morishima who was just about to come in from the aisle and accidentally knocked one of her shopping bags on the ground, causing the contents inside to fall.

It slipped out of the shopping bag.

"excuse me."

Morishima Ayako, who was blocked in the aisle for a moment, smiled and said, then bent down to pick up the knocked over shopping bag and the CD with the butter cover inside.

"This is?"

During the process of picking it up, Morishima Ayako naturally noticed the pattern on the surface of the disc.

When they saw this CD, several girls who followed Morishima Ayako immediately showed some strange expressions.

"Zheye, you can have fun by yourself first. I'll go back to the room and be alone for a while."

Seeing this scene, Takehara Ryota suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation in his chest, and immediately covered his left chest and said.

After saying this, Ryota Takehara left the living room with lonely steps, left through the sliding door on the other side of the living room, and soon locked himself in the room.

"Kiritani-kun, did I see something I shouldn't have seen?"

Hearing the sound of a door closing from far away deep in the corridor, Morishima Ayako scratched the side of her face with her fingers and asked with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.

"It's okay, I think it'll be fine in a while."

In this regard, Kiritani Tetsuya said with a sigh, and at the same time, he mentally mourned for three seconds of silence for Takehara Ryota, who was tragically killed in society.

For the next ten minutes or so, Ryota Takehara's room basically remained closed.

[Ryota, are you okay?]

At the request of Morishima Ayako, Kiritani Tetsuya tried to send a line message on his mobile phone and asked.

[It's okay, just treat this as your own home and don't worry about me.]

Takehara Ryo took a few seconds to reply, adding a haggard expression at the end of the message.

Seeing this, Kiritani Tetsuya had no choice but to put his phone back in his pocket and relay Takehara Ryota's reply to Morishima Ayako who was standing next to him.

"In this case, let's prepare the hot pot first. It won't be too late to ask Ryota-kun to come out after the hot pot is ready."

After listening to Kiritani Tetsuya's report, Morishima Ayako immediately spoke.

"Okay." Kiritani Tetsuya nodded and responded, taking the lead in standing up from the sofa.

Because Tetsuya Kiritani had been to Ryota Takehara's house many times before, he had a fairly clear idea of ​​the layout of the rooms in this one-family building, and he quickly brought Ayako Morishima and others to the location of the kitchen.

Under Morishima Reiko's simple division of labor, several people present quickly became busy inside and outside the kitchen.

While Miu Utsunomiya, Tamao Ibuki and others were washing ingredients in the kitchen, Tetsuya Kiritani and Rinko Morishima were responsible for placing a pair of tableware on the dining table outside the kitchen and adding fresh ingredients to the large pot in the center of the dining table.

Hot pot base bought from the supermarket and a whole pot of boiling hot water.

It didn't take long for the originally empty dining table to be filled with plates of a rich variety of ingredients. The aroma of the hot pot base began to float directly above the dining table and gradually spread to the aisle.

Ryota Takehara, who had been staying in the room before, was quickly attracted by the strong fragrance.

Under the temptation of hot pot dishes, he, who had been looking "tired" not long ago, suddenly seemed to be full of energy again. Even the initial restraint and discomfort gradually dissipated while enjoying the food.

, and soon returned to his previous carefree state.

Amidst the laughter and conversation, everyone finished enjoying tonight's hot pot with a satisfied attitude.

After finishing the hot pot, Morishima Ayako couldn't wait to take out the cake she made in the morning from the cake box.

At the same time, Ayako Morishima took out the cardboard box with the blessings that she had been talking about for a long time and placed it on the table in the living room together with the cake.

"What is this?"

Seeing a strange cardboard box appear on the table, Takehara Ryota, who was slumped on the sofa after eating, asked curiously.

"The box of blessings is specially prepared for Kiritani-kun."

Morishima Ayako blinked and replied, and then repeated the general rules of the game to Takehara Ryota.

"It feels quite fun, I want to participate too."

After listening to Morishima Ayako's explanation, Takehara Ryota suddenly showed a malicious smile. Then he ran back to the room and took out a brand new A4 paper, and wrote his blessings in a corner away from everyone.

language content.

"Can I put it in?"

Coming over with the blessing he had just written, Takehara Ryota asked.

"Of course, this kind of game is more fun when more people participate."

Ayako Morishima, who was standing next to the box of blessings, said with a smile. She took the initiative to take the A4 paper handed over by Ryota Takehara, then carefully put it into the carton, and shook the carton a second time.

"Then Kiritani-kun, the next part is yours."

After shaking the blessing papers in the carton evenly again, Morishima Ayako turned to look at Kiritani Tetsuya and said.
Chapter completed!
