My Household`s Liliana-san Volume 2 Chapter 6 Part 1
CHAPTER 6: The Newlywed Sex, Preparations For the Future Day When the Rice Shower Will Come Down
「Say, Liliana-san? Which ponzu should we serve?」
「Ah, I would like to get out all three of them, please. That way everyone can just pick up the one that they like the best.」
「Understood. I have not been very conscious of it just until now, but it’s pretty hard to decide which one is the best to suit everyone’s tastes.」
In front of Tatsuya and Liliana, there were about three different kinds of ponzu: the regular one, the kombu one, the yuzu one for them to choose from.
「Fufufu, I think we should also try every single one of them to decide which one is the best.」
Seeing that unexpectedly serious look on Tatsuya’s face, Liliana smiled brightly.
「Yes, that’s right. But even so, the two of them surely are getting late.」
All of their current troubles solved by Liliana’s safest suggestion, the two of them looked at the clock and realized that their friends were surely taking their sweet time with their task and coming back.
At Keima’s suggestion, the four of them decided to hold a nabe party together so that they could celebrate the end of the year and the coming of the new one.
Tatsuya graciously offered his place for the location where the party was supposed to be held, while both Keima and China were currently out shopping for the necessary ingredients.
「I know that they went to the neighborhood supermarket, but considering the date and time, maybe the cash register is being awfully crowded for some reason?」
「Or maybe they have trouble with picking up the right ingredients? That’s always a possibility.」
「Well, I don’t know about that one. I mean, we gave them the memo and all that, so there should not be anything particularly unusual on that list, so they should not have trouble with picking everything up.」
When they were talking about things like that, they heard the sound of the front door opening with a quiet sound.
「We are back!」
「And sorry it took us way longer than expected. You would never guess that, but China is really meticulous when it comes to picking up the right ingredients for this sort of thing.」
「Well, should it not be obvious? It’s not like we are doing this just for ourselves, you know? We also have Liliana-san to consider!」
「Well, when it comes to me, I can eat pretty much anything and I will be satisfied with it.」
As to why Tatsuya was not mentioned at all during this conversation, he assumed that it was most probably because China thought that he must have been the same as Keima, and that pretty much anything would satisfy his taste.
However, even though they were arguing about such a small and largely insignificant thing, each of them came back home with two eco-bags full of various ingredients. Also, judging by that exchange the two of them had just now, it was clear and obvious that they were on really good terms with one another, all things considered.
Liliana seemed to realize that fact as well, so she looked at the two with a bright smile on her face.
「We have bought everything according to Liliana-san’s memo. And I am pretty sure that we have not forgotten about anything, so we are pretty much covered here.」
Before they even knew it, the distance between the two had shrunk considerably, and China’s usual cold and prickly tone, which had shut down many who were brave enough to dare to approach her, had crumbled.
「Yes, thank you very much.」
Liliana thanked China and took the shopping bag off of her, checking its contents at the same time.
「Now, I know that we were the ones to made that proposal, but I never thought the day would come when we could be able to spend the end of the year in such a rich way.」
「Well, last year we were both without girlfriends, so it is only natural that last year’s new year’s celebration were pretty bland and weak as compared to this year.」
Last year, Keima was the one who would constantly complain just how badly he wanted to have himself a girlfriend, moaning just how much that one difference would enrich his life and make it even more meaningful. And his incessant complaining would only grow more and more annoying when the events such as Valentines, summer vacation or Christmas would draw close.
It was nothing new, and Tatsuya could say that it was always more or less the same with all of his male colleagues across the years, and since until only recently none of them had any sort of romantic experience whatsoever, they often would get overly excited with delusional talk about their ideal girlfriends, a topic really peculiar to young boys going through puberty, and they would do this pretty much every single time they would get together.
Tatsuya was not as outspoken as Keima was, but he was aware that thanks to Liliana, his life was incomparably richer than before.
Of course, if he was to do any of the usual things that the two of them were doing together in front of his colleagues other than Keima, who also managed to get himself a girlfriend, he could only see that he would have been looked upon with scorn and contempt, and receive lots of words filled with jealousy, so for the time being he had every intention of keeping this relationship that he had going on with Liliana a secret.
「Yes, it seems that everything is in order and we do not happen to miss anything, so how about we start with the preparations, shall we?」
「Oh, in that case, I will give you a hand.」
When Liliana confirmed that all of the ingredients had been bought, and was about to start cooking in earnest, China took the initiative and raised her hand to help her out.
「Thank you very much. Well then, in that case, could you help me with cutting all of the raw ingredients first?」
Tatsuya and Keima looked at each other as the two women stood in the kitchen harmoniously side by side.
「Well then, what should we do for the time being?」
「I know it is really sad and not manly, but I guess that the only thing we can do now is to simply line up the plates. How about that?」
Not to mention that with the two women present and currently occupying the kitchen, even if they knew how to cook there was literally nothing that they could do here at the current moment, so both Keima and Tatsuya seemed to be at a complete loss what to do at the current moment.
「Guys, as far as you are concerned, you can just sit down and relax for now. The only thing that is left to do now is to cut and boil everything, so there is nothing with which you can really help right now.」
「Fuwah! I knew it! Fluffy kotatsu is the true gift from god to humans. Or is it actually a product of humanity’s collective wisdom? Anyways, I cannot phantom surviving the winter without it.」
「As always, it just makes you want to laze around and do nothing the entire day.」
Tatsuya felt a little sorry for not being able to help Liliana out with any preparatory work in the kitchen, so to make up for that he decided that he would at least prepare the pot for the cooking process. Once that was done, even though he was initially mad at Keima for not doing anything to help, as soon as he entered the kotatsu, his expression softened considerably.
「Oh gosh, I just can’t stand it! I want to stay like this forever and go out from under this blanket!」
「Dude, that is one hell of an over-exaggeration.」
「No, no! Why are you looking at me like that, man? Besides, the view! The view from over here is simply the best!」
「Huh?」
Tatsuya could not understand what Keima was saying, so he followed his line of sight and found Liliana and China standing gracefully in the kitchen while having their backs turned towards the guys in the living room.
Then, after a moment of staring, Keima’s sight dropped slightly, focusing mostly on China’s hips and butt.
「It’s such a beautiful line, it’s so cute…… Man, this sight really is to die for!」
Keima mumbled under his nose with a huge smile on his face.
「Hmm, I see.」
Tatsuya had never seen a woman other than Liliana like that, so he was having rouble relating to that.
As a result of that, he was even a little bit upset.
「Dude, you are just way too too obsessed with Liliana-san.」
