Volume 1 1st Chapter: Ideal self -make for…-

[…U…]
Someone’s voice.
I know who this voice belongs to.
Right now, Yoshino Yuuto’s place of sleep is most probably not his own room but the living room. Staring at the textbook till late yesterday, and went to sleep there after making dinner. The only one living in this house was only himself. Excluding himself, there would be no one else in this house.
His nose picked up a sweet smell. When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar face in front of him.
[… Good morning, Isana.]
[Good morning, Yuu.]
To the owner of that clear voice, after Yuuto awakens and confirm, the remnants of last night’s dinner was being cleaned up. She was clearing it splendidly as though she did not have any family members. That’s why I felt sorry towards her.
[Sorry, Isana. Always having you make the meals. Leave the cleaning up to me.]
[Thank you. But it’s fine. I do it because I like it.]
Houri Isana. A black haired girl and Yuuto’s cla.s.smate. That beautiful countenance, slim and delicate body, and that fragile atmosphere makes you aware that she is a female. So very fitting of the phrase “Yamato Nadeshiko”. We have been going out for four years now.
She bundled up her long hair as she stood at the cooking table. Like a housewife, she tranquilly washed the dishes on the right and lining them on the left.
[If you feel bad about it, properly take responsibility?]
[What?]
[Yuu’s the one that is in the wrong, you know? Always finishing all the food and leaving none behind, I have to make more. …That’s why, erm… properly take responsibility.]
Isana said it with up-turned eyes. Yuuto got taken aback.
[Stu, stupid. Don’t say weird things. … Like taking responsibility.]
[Fufu. It’s just a joke. It’s fine if I’m happy. Or is Yuu trying to take my joy away?]
[… I understand. Please take care of me from now on.]
Since they became neighbours this year, Isana has been coming to Yuuto’s house and preparing breakfast and dinner daily. She must have used the duplicate key given to her to enter this morning. At first it was no good so I refused, she gave reasons like it’ll be “easier” this way, so I was forced to agree. So from that day onward, Yuuto took the initiative to wake up early and help out. However, today, he totally overslept.
Turning on the television, a sudden telop informing about some serial killer started to flow. After that, speculation of the murders’ methods, weapons and the like went past, since I didn’t want to see this first thing in the morning, I changed the channel. A healthy high school student’s morning should start with today’s weather and the week’s horoscope.
[This week’s horoscope~ First place is Leo. For this week, you’re a cute little rabbit. Many people will target you♪ Waku waku♪ Your love premonition will not stop! From little girls to yanderes, thoroughly―― Gefun gefun. Anyways, you’ll most likely t obe involved with many people! Lucky colour is gold desu!]
(… What’s with this ridiculous fortune program)
For your information, Yuuto’s a Leo.
[Did you study till late last night too?]
[Um… yea. Since the test is nearing.]
Tests and studies. As long as you’re a student, you definitely can’t run away.
[You’ve worked hard. Don’t be so reckless, alright?]
Isana sighed out. Her morning ch.o.r.es have already finished.
[It’s time to go to school already. Sorry. I only made sandwiches for breakfast.]
Isana apologized and handed over the wrapped up sandwiches.
[Why are you the one apologizing?]
Isana smiled playfully. In actual fact, from her moving in next to me evolving to coming over to make food, I’m plentiful thankful.
[All right, let’s go to school now.]
