chapter 26
26 – Date, rehearsal! (1)
As I rode my bike down the road, it was a clear view of the city.
While running, I thought about rehearsals.
Is simply an escort for a date course enough?
‘No, it can’t be.’
To be sure, it would be better to educate them on cooking as well.
How will Ryunosuke react if you feed him the food you ate last time that could be called death cooking?
…… It’s terrifying to think about.
Perhaps they will be frightened or disgusted, but they won’t show it.
Because he’s the kind of guy who’ll say something like ‘It’s delicious~’ while laughing moderately so that the other person doesn’t get hurt.
I can’t let you go through that situation yourself.
“My lady.”
“What’s going on, Hyunjin?”
“How about practicing cooking when you get home today?”
“Yo, you mean cooking?”
“Yes.”
“Cooking, cooking is…… Enough, isn’t it? If it’s my skill! You said the other day that you remembered your hometown, Hyunjin!”
“That’s right, but…… “
To be honest, wouldn’t it be normal for anyone to think of their original meal when eating such a dish?
There are definitely many dishes I want to eat.
Kimchi jjigae, soybean paste stew, seasoned vegetable side dishes, and even egg rolls.
If it’s a simple dish, I don’t know how to cook it……
There is also a recipe prepared by Ohana.
“Isn’t that what it is?”
Amelia said confidently.
No…… That shouldn’t be the case, either.
Here, she decided to throw a fastball with confidence.
“The lady asked me to find out about Ryunosuke, or something like that. Doesn’t that mean you have feelings for Ryunosuke?”
“Eh? Oh, I mean…… Hmm.”
“I think it is necessary to practice in preparation for any situation. If you make a mistake in practice, it may be irreversible.”
“Ah, ahahahahaha! Yes, yes, yes. It’s definitely a good idea, so let’s try it!”
The words seem to have stopped for a moment.
It must be because of my mood, this too.
As I was chatting with Amelia, she arrived in town.
“Get off, lady.”
First, I dropped off Amelia and then locked her bikes in the right place.
“Hey, this is downtown…… ?”
“Have you ever visited?”
“I’ve been here once in a while. Do not misunderstand? It’s really sometimes, sometimes.”
In the end, there is no…….
Certainly, having never been here means lack of experience.
It would be good for her to get used to it just enough not to express surprise at seeing it for the first time when she accompanies Ryuunosuke.
If not, lead.
I think Ryunosuke will lead.
“Can you tell me where to start? Hyunjin.”
“Hmm…… Okay. For a moment.”
I shook my head for a second.
I contrasted the Ryunosuke I remembered with the Ryunosuke I had experienced so far.
And a good place for men and women to go first.
It’s a place where three symmetry points intersect, and it’s a good place to start.
‘Wouldn’t it be nice to simply go to a music store?’
A cafe is not a bad choice for a first meeting, but first you need to match your interests.
Ryunosuke usually goes to the music store when he goes out to play…… I used to go to record shops often.
“My lady.”
“Tell me, Hyunjin.”
“Maybe…… Do you like music?”
“I like it.”
“Then, how about a music store as a first recommendation?”
“Record store…… You mean?”
“Yes. It is a store that handles records, but it is a store where you can listen to various types of music.”
“I-I know that much?!”
At my words, Amelia responded by blushing lightly. She
I don’t think she knew anything from the reaction.
“One of Natsuki’s hobbies is listening to music. So, I think it would be good for you to experience it at least once.”
After that, Amelia muttered to herself.
“Certainly not bad, that is…… mmm, Ryunosuke seems to have quite a noble hobby.”
Amelia heard me and nodded her head. I went with her to her music store adjacent to her.
“Doesn’t it feel a bit noisy for a record store? Hyunjin.”
Amelia looked around her and looked very curious.
“I’m sorry if you’ll excuse me, but can you tell me what it feels like to be a music store?”
I asked cautiously, and Amelia replied with a nod of her head.
“I’m sure it’s like that, I think music stores are more sober and understated…… I thought it was a classic store. Am I wrong?”
“Ah…… “
As expected.
Did I get it wrong from the start?
“My lady, a music store is a place that stocks all kinds of music…… “
Amelia replied with a slight bewilderment.
“That, I know that much! According to common sense, that’s what a music store is like!”
What kind of common sense is that……
She didn’t even have the energy to answer, so she nodded her head appropriately and decided to correct the information.
“You’re right, but this is the way record stores these days are. Now, let’s try it.”
With that said, she took Amelia to the record she most liked and put her headset on.
“I can’t hear anything, Hyunjin?”
“It will fly soon.”
She responded to Amelia and put the record into her audio system. Then Amelia twitched her body lightly and said ‘Oh…… She’s a strange contraption, this.’ She muttered the same thing.
Amelia closed her eyes and lightly moved her shoulders and neck.
It’s good that you’re enjoying classical music, but when I went to the record store with Ryunosuke, I wasn’t a guy who enjoyed classical music.
I feel sorry for the appreciative Amelia…… She said as she took her headset off once.
“My lady.”
“Huh?”
“Natsuki’s taste is not this kind of classic.”
“Then what song is it? Hyunjin. You went together, so I can recommend it.”
“Yes.”
With Amelia, we moved from a place full of classical parts to a place full of pop genres.
“Let me explain what genre this is.”
“Natsuki’s favorite pop genre.”
“I see…… Can I listen to one song first?”
“Yes.”
After putting her headset on Amelia’s ear again, she puts in a record of Swedish pop that sounds reasonably good.
There are many types of pop, but from the standpoint of listening to classical music, jazz-based genres or Swedish pop would be more suitable for music tastes.
Amelia moves her body again, as if the soft tone is heard in Amelia’s ears. She
Watching it from her side, she is also unbearably cute.
She might look pretty if it wasn’t for the bun hair.
‘Ah, I might need to change the hairstyle to some extent.’
Looking at Amelia’s hair, I thought.
Because bun hair is a hairstyle that people like and dislike.
My personal preference, if I had to insist, is on the side of a straight perm with flowing waves or long loose waves.
Well, anyway. Is the music good enough?
She thought so and tried to take off Amelia’s headset, but Amelia took off her headset first and said.
“This is the first genre I’ve heard of, but…… For some reason, it’s fine. Come on, Hyunjin. Let’s listen together.”
“Together…… You mean?”
“Yes.”
She paused her music at Amelia’s words, unplugged her headset and replaced it with the supplied earphones.
“Please insert it yourself.”
“Yes?”
“…… Don’t pretend you didn’t hear.”
Amelia brushed the side of her hair lightly and brought her ear inside of her.
Her hands holding her earphones trembled slightly.
Slowly, without surprising Amelia, took her earphones and put them in.
I also put the other earphone in my ear.
I heard the properly selected tone of Swedish pop in my head.
I liked her tone, so I hummed in her hum.
Then, something strangely caught my eye. She was Amelia.
She looked blankly this way, with a bewitched expression on her face.
“My lady?”
“Eh? Yes? What, what?!”
“How are you feeling?”
“Gi, mood. Feeling. Yes, ugh Yes. Surely…… It might not be bad.”
I’m glad. She worried about what would happen to Amelia, whose hobbies are noble, if she didn’t enjoy it.
She was at this point and she was about to introduce another store, but Amelia seemed to want to hear more Swedish pop.
She was fresh and soft, and it seemed that such a soft feeling was quite pleasant to hear.
‘If I had known this was going to happen, would I have brought it earlier?’
Since he doesn’t talk, I just thought it was my mistake for not thinking of bringing him first.
I was about to look at Amelia with a happy expression when she looked at me and said sharply.
“What is it, Hyunjin? That strange laugh.”
“You look good. I must say I feel better.”
“Hmph, of course. There’s no way that a free outing after a long time isn’t good, right?”
Come to think of it, what did Amelia usually do?
I’ve seen her enjoying tea time in a quiet room, or touching papers, but I’ve rarely seen her go outside.
At least the garden inside the mansion. It has already been five months since I worked for Amelia.
I’ve rarely seen them go out, so it’s only natural that I’m curious about them.
“My lady.”
“Tell me, Hyunjin.”
“…… Have you been out lately?”
“Hmm. I don’t really know because I’ve never been out of the mansion. Except when going to school.”
Is that so?
I don’t know if the development has changed because of me or how it happened, but if it’s the way it was originally, I’ll get along with Ryunosuke and come out, and I’ll have to.
Amelia hadn’t been out at all!
Doo!
‘The situation was unexpectedly serious, this…… ‘
I thought so, so I politely held Amelia’s hand and said.
“My lady. I think you will learn a little bit more today.”
“Yes? Hyunjin, wait…… !”
Unplugging the earphones from Amelia’s ears and putting them back in place, she took her hand and headed out of her record store.
Looks like I need to tell you something.
