My Household`s Liliana-san Volume 2 Chapter 6 Part 3

Giving a wry smile to Keima, who has regained his composure, Tatsuya immediately put down his chopsticks.

「…… Well then, let’s grab something for ourselves as well, China-san. Here, let me pick something for you.」

After both Liliana and China were done with putting ingredients from the pot onto their plates, Keima stopped worrying and scooped up every single thing from the pot and placed it onto his plate as well. He then proceeded to wolf it all down.

「Hafuuh, hafuuh…… Ooohhh~~…… This is so~, incredibly~, gooooood~~~~~~!!!」

「Keima, shut up. You’re being way too loud.」

Keima was so moved by the taste of the hot pot that he forgot that he was not alone, and it was China who had to apologize to them in his stead. But even that was not enough to make Keima shut up, so he just continued doing what he was doing.

「Because the vegetables are still crunchy and the dashi stock is so modest, you can really appreciate the flavor of every single ingredient out there.
Yeah, and I tried eating vegetables first to keep my blood sugar from crashing once I get to the meat fest!」

「Keima. I get it that you are really hyped up about this, but you don’t really have to take this so seriously, you know?」

Hearing Keima go on such an elaborate rant like that, Tatsuya must have been as amazed to hear it as were the girls here.

「Fufu, besides vegetables, it also contains some danfu and shirataki, so please eat it to your heart’s content.」

With a wry smile on her face, Liliana said that to Keima, who showed off some real enthusiasm while going through every single ingredient that the hotpot contained, and once he was done with what he had put on his plate, he looked about ready to ask for seconds any moment now.

「Not to mention that all of those things seem to be nicely complemented by the ponzu sauce. This goes especially for the Chinese cabbage, something that I was never actually able to stomach on its own. And then you put the ponzu sauce on top of the rice, and it’s the perfect combination! There is literally nothing that you could possibly complain about in here!」

「Then how about having some tofu next? I thought you might get bored with only the ponzu sauce, so I also prepared some yuzu kokon, raw wilt, and grated radish to go with everything else.」

「I-I understand that you want to be considerate here, Liliana-san, but don’t you think that this is actually going a little bit too overboard? At this rate Keima is going to eat everything by himself and there won’t be anything left for us to eat!」

When it comes to Keima, right about now he was like a completely different person. At first he was worried about his blood sugar, but now there should be a rising concern that he might actually eat way too much and eat everyone else out of their shares.

「Say, Umisawa-san? Could it be that Keima has been reading some manga centered about cooking as of late?」

「Now that you actually mention it, I get a feeling that he might actually have done something like that recently.」

That would certainly explain Keima’s unusually high tension here, but it was also quite amazing just how easy it seemed to affect everyone else in the room as well.

After that, Keima only continued to raise the tension bar even higher, saying stuff like “I thought raw withered tofu was the best, but yuzu kosan is also good!”, or “No matter how much rice you might have had, you can never go wrong with having even more rice!”, or “The shiitake mushrooms are so juicy!”, or “The meat is best enjoyed when its with ponzu sauce and a little sprinkle of salt!”, or More! Please give me more! More seconds, please!”」

It was pretty much obvious that Keima was the one who was enjoying this hotpot party the most from the beginning to the very end.

「If you are happy with it, then it makes us who made the dish even happier as a result. Isn’t that right, China-san?」

「Well, I…… I guess so?」

China was bewildered by Liliana’s sudden request for consent, but her expression did not look as if she was uncomfortable with that thought, or thought that it was something particularly bad.

「That’s only a matter of course, Liliana-san. Besides, when you think about having a party with your friends, a hotpot party is the obvious way too go! You literally cannot go wrong with choosing that! So it’s a good thing to be hyped up about it!」

「Even though I think that being so hyped up is something that would be your default mode, man.」

Tatsuya laughed as he retorted Keima words, who was growing increasingly more hyped up.

「Well, the hot pot is almost gone, so what are we going to do to finish it off? Judging what we have left, we could make either udon or ramen noodles out of it.」

「I don’t exactly care about anything in particular, since the broth managed to take in the fragrance and flavors of both the vegetables and meat alike, so it doesn’t really matter if it’s rice or noodles. Keima, since you are the one who is the most hyped up about all of this, do you have any suggestion in particular?」

「Wouldn’t it be nice to have something light to go with it, at the same time providing some variety? I mean, I have had quite my fill of rice for the time being.」

「I see. Well then, shall we have some udon noodles?」

Keima, who was enjoying hot pot the most all this time, decided to make that suggestion.

「…… Haah~~, you can feel the warmth permeating through your body.」

And while eating the finished udon noodles and dashi soup, China seemed to be enraptured by their flavor.

「If you dissolve miso in the soup stock that was left in the pot, it’s a mixture that goes great with udon noodles.」

「The soup stock is strong, so it doesn’t lose its taste, and I can’t stop my chopsticks from moving! As expected of something that you have made, Liliana-san!」

「It’s great that you like it so much, Tatsuya-san.」

At the same pace from beginning to end, everyone warms up the final portion of the udon noodles.

「Oh, there was still some meat left over.」

「There is a strange feeling of profit when you find leftovers after closing the pot, huh?」

「At first, I thought it might be a little too much, but…… the amount proved to be just right.」

「The pot’s surface is now completely empty, isn’t it?」

Looking at the pot with no soup stock left, Liliana smiled broadly.

「Thank you for the meal. Just when I thought I could actually eat some more, I suddenly felt full.」

「It’s because you simply eat so much.」

China let out a flabbergasted voice at Keima who was happily rubbing his slightly bloated stomach, so it was obvious that he ate way too much, even if it was certainly delicious.

「Do you perhaps want some stomach medicine?」

「No, I’m fine. It’s a bit painful right now, but this feeling actually feels good.」

「…… Dude, seriously? Admitting that right in the open?」

Tatsuya tilted his head in visible puzzlement.

For a moment out there he thought that Keima had awakened to some really peculiar fetish completely out of the blue, but there was no way that he would admit to that out loud.

「But it’s kind of strange. I thought I was the only one who kept secrets when I started going out with China, but Tatsuya ended up going on a date with a transcendental beauty like Liliana-san somewhere around the summer. After running into each other, we shared the same secret, so I think it was a rather fortunate turn of events. Thanks to that, this year certainly was a great deal of fun.」

Even Tatsuya was able to understand what Keima was trying to say here.

He was initially going to keep his relationship with Liliana a secret for the time being, knowing full well that if he was to come out with it right in the open, the anger and jealousy of his fellow classmates would know no bounds. keeping the envy and jealousy of his male friend as a warning.

If it weren’t for that one coincidence during the summer vacation, we wouldn’t be immersed in this feeling of fullness right now as he was.

「Hmm, that’s strange. There should not have been any spoiled or damaged ingredients in that hotpot, you know?」

「Uwaah!? Hey! Don’t tell me I actually happened to eat something I was not supposed to eat!?」
