Shinano Town apartment, Room 501, today's dinner is hamburger steak.
Aonai had an apron tied around her waist, mixing the minced meat in a glass bowl, while Miyuki was chopping onions beside her.
Akiko stood on the other side of the counter doing nothing, just keeping them company to pass the time.
"Where did that Watanabe guy go?" Akiko bit into a cucumber, making a crisp crunching sound. "Is he off having a feast with the young lady?"
"No way." Aonai replied casually.
"Hmm? How do you know?" Akiko mumbled with a mouthful of cucumber.
"If he was going to, he'd definitely tell me first," Aonai said with a smile. "It's not like I wouldn't let him; what's there to hide from me?"
"Blind trust, a woman blinded by love, hopeless." Akiko shook what was left of her cucumber.
"It's natural to trust him just after doing it." Miyuki wiped her knife, brushing off the onion bits.
"Did it?" Akiko's eyes widened as she looked back and forth between the two. "Did what? That?"
