  We both stood up and Yumeji-san smiled at me.

「I’m so happy I was able to speak to a wonderful girl like you today, Hoshino-san.」

  I am also happy I was able to have a fun talk with Yumeji-san, but what he said was a bit of a shock. I cry a little; I am a guy after all! But it certainly cannot be helped that I get mistaken for a girl a lot. After all, I am wearing a girl’s clothes. Among my classmates (aside from Tensai and one more person) everyone is surely, yes absolutely mistaking me for a girl. In this school, there are barely any people aware of the fact that I am a guy. It kind of breaks my heart….  No, it is not okay like this. Even though I am taking on the appearance of a girl, I am a boy. I should never forget that feeling…… But at this rate, it is going to go wrong in all kinds of ways. I need to take some sort of countermeasures.

  That is why I decided to get some advice from a guy I am acquainted with.

 「Open up, Juugo! I came to eat that filthy supper you made!」

  At this time, the sun had already set. The place where Tensai and I had found ourselves was in front of room 202 of the Happiness Dormitories.

「You guys….. you really always show up without as much as a warning, don’t you?」

  Opening the door with a face that looked as if he hated the situation, Yama Juugo-kun came out of the door that Tensai had been beating so loudly it bothered the entire neighborhood. His eyes had a characteristic mean look to them. His stature was much taller than someone like me. His body was also trained and hardened. Although he had mean eyes, his face was not bad-looking either.

  However, he is a creep. He lusts after maid-outfits (although I heard that he recently came to hate them instead) and has an abnormal obsession with glasses (he is the type of person that has a fetish for glasses). Those few things are the only points on which I am superior to Juugo-kun, I think.

「Hey. You get in here quickly as well, cross-dressing perverted assistant.」

「I- I’m not perverted!」

  I can’t believe it, he is so rude.

  Tensai and I (but secretly only Tensai) are now getting our punishment for losing at cards a while ago. So we come to eat dinner cooked by Juugo-kun two times a week. I also think it is weird to be treated to dinner as a punishment, but it was decided like this so it cannot be helped.

  However, recently you can’t really say we come two days a week. It has become more like three or four times a week to Juugo’s room to get treated to dinner like this.

「Ah, Tensai-chan. D’Arc-chan, good evening.」

  The reason for this is that the girl living together with Juugo-kun is very happy with the current situation.

「Hm. I came again today, Nanana-chan.」

  Her name is Ryuugajou Nanana. Her long hair is tied in a cute ribbon, her eyes are big, and she always has a very bright smile. Just to make it clear right away, Nanana-san lives together with Juugo-kun but that does not mean she is his girlfriend. That is obvious because there is no way she would be going out with a pervert whose interests go in such directions. Then what is Nanana-san? Her real identity is apparently that of an earthbound spirit that haunts room 202 of Happiness Dormitories.

  She is a bit of a weird spirit that can be seen by anyone, touch objects, and even eat pudding. I’m a bit doubtful whether she is an actual haunting spirit, but at least it is true that Nanana-san herself insists on being called one.

「You came again today, I’m so happy ♥」

「I.. it’s not like we had a choice, Nanana-dono. It’s our punishment for losing that game after all. It’s not like I really want to be here, okay?」

  Tensai tries to put on a tough act like that, but in her heart she is very happy to have made a friend like Nanana-san. Coming over to hang out in room 202 makes her happy. I have been thinking this already since I have been with Tensai for this long, but she is probably very clumsy when it comes to interacting with other people. It has to do with things like Tensai’s early childhood years, the environment she grew up in, the thing about her father. I think there might be a bunch of reasons. And well, though these are just the words of an assistant like me, her personality is also a bit weird.

  That’s why, as far as I know, there weren’t really any friends in Tensai’s life. In the First Private Highschool that she attended previously, she was also always alone. That’s why I am so glad that she has been getting along well with Nanana-san and Juugo-kun, since the recent developments. Thanks to them, I get the feeling that she stopped needlessly putting on front.

  She is untactful at explaining things as always, but I think that has been getting a bit better. In Tensai’s case that is already a good inclination.

  Today, just like usual, Tensai is chatting with Nanana-san while doing things like watching TV and playing games.

  While I smile at this scene, I aim my gaze at Juugo-kun. After all, my goal today is to steal Juugo-kun’s manliness. Juugo-kun is lewd, ill-mannered, and just very lewd. I think that in a way, those are very manly traits. If I imitate these behaviors of Juugo-kun, I will surely become very manly too.

  That is why I’m thinking of closely observing him. At the moment, Juugo is standing in the kitchen and seems to be making everyone’s dinner. Looking at the ingredients, today’s dinner is 『a vegetable stir-fry that packs a lot of meat』again. We also got the same meal the other day. Apparently Juugo-kun’s cooking repertoire is extremely small. I see, that does seem a bit manly.

  He is humming while he cuts the vegetables with a kitchen knife, but his knife-handling seems a bit dangerous. Now that I think of it, he didn’t even wash the vegetables before cutting them. I.. I see now, this is that thing other people call manliness. Very educating indeed. But I am somehow getting a bit annoyed now.

  He lit the fire under the skillet. He immediately adds in the oil and then throws in the vegetables……. hey, wait a minute! What is he doing?! The oil hasn’t been heated enough yet at all! Ahhhh, and on top of that, the way he added everything at once is really not good! He needs to add the ingredients in order of what takes the longest to cook……. and should add the meat before adding the vegetables!

「Uhm…」

  Ohhh, he stirred around randomly and now because of that some of the vegetables fell out of the skillet!

「Hey…」

  Why is he picking the fallen pieces of vegetable up and putting them back into the pan?! That is super gross! Is he thinking it is okay because he is heating it over a fire?! That is not what hygiene is about at all! This is, this is……

「Like I said D’Arc, what are you so intensely staring at, standing right next to me?」

「….huh?」

  When I came back to my senses, I was suddenly standing right next to Juugo-kun. It seems like I had unconsciously gotten closer while I had been watching his unacceptable behavior. And because he was looking at me instead of the pan, Juugo-kun let some veggies fly out of the skillet again. It is over now, I cannot bear this any longer.

「Please switch with me.」

「… heh?」

「Please let me take over, I’ll make the food in your stead.」

「Woah, it tastes delicious!」

  Juugo moaned when he put his chopsticks loaded with some of the stir-fry in his mouth and tasted it.

「Fufufu, do you consider yourself beaten yet, Juugo?」

「Why are you the one bragging, Tensai?」

  Juugo poked fun at the very satisfied looking Tensai.
