@ rndmnwierd: I don't know about the trains where you are, but the ones I recall didn't smell so good, in fact I recall wanting to spew....
@ badsaints: I wouldn't put too much hope in it yet because I would really hate to disappoint
Chapter 9The moment she stepped out of the washroom an attack of different aromas filled her nose. She went down and noticed Risa setting the table.
“Hey the food is ready, so grab a chair” instructed Risa as she paced from the open kitchen to the table.
“Gaki-san! Sugoi!!!! You made curry?” Reina looked at Risa with awe as Risa placed 2 plates of curry rice onto the table.
Risa beamed “Yep, Niigaki-style. Try some!” Risa sat down across of Reina and waited for Reina’s reaction as Reina scooped a spoonful into her mouth. “Well?..” Reina tried not to grin at Risa’s impatient look. “Well? Well??”
“OISHI!!!!”
“USO!!!!” as Risa scooped a spoonful and tried her own cooking. “Yatta!!! I was so worried I screwed up somewhere in the process”
“It’s amazing Gaki-san! Better than anything I could make on my own”
Risa gushed “Awww you’re just saying that. But I am glad you like it” They continued to eat the food until they were so stuffed they could barely move.
“Gaki-san you should come here more often, that way I…er… my family can taste your cooking”
“Maybe we could do something like this with the group” Reina cringed a bit at the comment but quickly covered it with a smile
“Yeah…sure. Anyways since you cooked the wonderful meal, I should clean” Reina rose from her seat and started picking up the empty plates. Risa placed a hand on Reina’s arm.
“Well you prepared the yakiniku too, so how about we clean up together” Risa started picking up other empty plates and walked into the kitchen. Reina froze at her spot, reminiscing at the touch that left a tingle on her skin. “Hey are you going to bring the rest of it in?” hollered Risa who was washing some of the dishes already.
“Coming!” Reina rushed over to the kitchen with her dishes. “So how do you want to divide the work? You soap, Reina water?”
“Sure, that sounds like a plan!” Risa reached over to grab a plate just as Reina was. Their hands touched, which caused both of them to look at each other.
Reina pulled her hand away after a few seconds, while Risa smiled “Gomen”
“No worries! Let’s get these dishes out of the way”
Reina tried concentrating on washing her dishes but it was difficult considering she was also trying hard not to blush.
“Hey you are doing it wrong! Let me show you!” Risa put her hands onto Reina’s and moved Reina’s hands showing her how it should be done. On the other hand, Reina was blushing deeper and deeper, her face feeling hot. “See, this is how you do it” exclaimed Risa without looking at Reina.
“Er…hold on, I need to use the bathroom” exclaimed Reina as she quickly dashed to the washroom without waiting for a reply.
Reina locked the door and opened the tap. She splashed cold water onto her face lightly slapping her face.
‘Stop blushing! Stop blushing! STOP BLUSHING! You’re making a fool of yourself!’ Reina continuously splashed water on her face until her face didn’t feel so hot.
~KNOCK KNOCK~ ”Tanakacchi, are you okay in there?”
Reina turned off the faucet, and quickly wiped her face and hands before stepping out of the bathroom. “Er…yeah! Your curry was too good that I must have eaten it too quickly” Reina smiled weakly while placing a hand on her stomache. Risa was about to check on Reina’s stomache but Reina walked by “I’ll go finish my part now”
“OI! Maybe you shouldn’t” lectured Risa as she chased after Reina into the kitchen. Reina continued rinsing the dishes until she felt Risa’s hand on her forearm. “Here let me finish. You’re not feeling well”
“Dame Gaki-san! You did half so I should do the other half. Don’t worry! I am fine now. GanbaReina!!!” Reina exclaimed raising a fist in the air.
Risa chuckled and reached out to pinch Reina on the nose. “You’re too cute sometimes. Sayumin might have competition”
Reina beamed. “That’s right!!!! Kitty cat can be cuter than any bunny or turtle” Reina wiped her hands when she was done. “So Gaki-san, do you want to do anything in particular?”
Risa stroked her chin in deep thought “Hmmmm, I am too tired to do anything that requires travelling far and it isn’t early so…. How about a nice walk?”
“That’s a great idea!! That way we can walk off some of the food we just ate. We should bring a hoodie though, it tends to be a bit more chilly at night here. I’ll go grab you one” exclaimed Reina as she dashed to her room.
“I have a green on in my suitcase!” yelled Risa as she put on her shoes.
“Since you are wearing your favourite color, I decided to wear mine as well” Reina handed Risa her green hoodie and produced one of her own from behind… purple.
“Ah Tanakacchi, you’re getting into your yankii mode?” teased Risa as she ran out of the door just before Reina could attack.
“OI! Gaki-san you get back here” Reina checked she had keys before quickly locking her door and chasing after her senpai.
Risa was waiting for Reina at the corner of her street “Took you long enough” said Risa as she poked Reina on the forehead
Reina swatted Risa on the arm “I had to make sure I locked the door, besides I knew you wouldn’t get far”
“EH~! USO!!! USO!!! How come?”
“Because you don’t know where you are going” laughed Reina as she hooked her arm with Risa “Let’s go! I know a nice park nearby”
