[【Sakuya’s Time】Today’s guest is Izumi-senpai! #SuzumichiSakuya#KainohIzumi#StarsFlow]
Sakuya’s chest began to flutter a bit.
She had believed today’s broadcast would be nothing but fun, so what had gone wrong?
Currently, Sakuya held a red bullet in her hand. In front of her was a golden target with a devilish smile.
“Ha… ha….”
Her ragged breathing spoke volumes about her state.
“F-fight…!”
Sakuya slightly averted her gaze in response to that voice.
There stood a cute girl… her company senpai, Izumi.
With her hands together, she looked at Sakuya with eyes full of expectation.
Was she aware of her charm that required lifting her opponent up because of her small height?
Even if she was, most people wouldn’t be able to resist that charm, and Sakuya undoubtedly belonged to that majority.
“Fuuuh…”
She took a deep breath one last time.
If she couldn’t overcome her embarrassment and refused the request here, Izumi would surely despair.
And in Izumi’s mind, Sakuya would have the brand of ‘a junior who doesn’t keep promises.’
“Haah…”
Above all, the option of refusal was closed off from the very beginning.
It was Sakuya who had originally said she would grant Izumi’s request.
Thus, the justification lay with Izumi, and the cause was provided by Sakuya.
A situation where it could only be said to be self-inflicted…
“C-can I do it?”
“Yup…!”
Even though Sakuya thought to herself that she wished Izumi would just call it off now… naturally, that future wasn’t going to happen.
“O-Omelette Rice…”
As she said this, Sakuya fired the red bullet at the golden target.
The trace left as a start was the name [Izumi-senpai].
Next to that, two semicircles were connected by a V-shaped mark.

Completing her task, Sakuya placed the red bullet down and, almost as if sending energy, stretched both hands above the target.
“M-my… it’s so delicious, y’know~!”
“Oooh…!”
Nothing particularly special happened, but Izumi looked on, mouth agape in admiration.
Yet, her eyes still held anticipation.
It was clearly a pure wish to see that final result.
Unable to betray that look, Sakuya ultimately formed a heart with her hands over her chest and shouted.
“Moé~ Moé~ Kyun!!!”
“Wow…!”
As she wrapped up everything, the sound of Izumi’s applause echoed.
Hearing that applause… Sakuya quietly bowed her head.
It goes without saying, Sakuya’s face had turned bright red.
★
“Moé~ Moé~ Kyun!!!”
“Wow…!”
It was a level entirely different from what she had seen at the Akihabara maid café….
Yes. A perfect maid stood right there.
I was sure… I collaborated with Suzumichi today to see this.
Honestly, I hadn’t expected her to accept since I thought she would surely refuse.
But Suzumichi had smiled sweetly and agreed without any issue.
– So cute!!!
– This is true maid quality.
– It was perfect!
The chatroom was filled with praise.
Of course, the viewers were not seeing this in person but only hearing Suzumichi’s voice.
“Shall we start eating soon, Izumi-senpai…?”
“Ah, yes!”
Suzumichi, who said this with a smile, looked a bit tired.
Well, I had asked her for several things right as I arrived, and afterward, she prepared all this food by herself.
It was only natural for her to be tired.
“First, I’ll take a picture….”
After taking a photo, Suzumichi immediately displayed images of the food they just took on the broadcast screen.
– Every time I see it, I’m amazed by the quality.
– It looks so delicious.
– Where do I have to go to eat this? (; ω ; )
“Hmm… this is my, my dish made by Suzumichi, you know? It’s a pity, but y-you guys won’t get to eat it….”
– You little brat!
– This is Yeo-sang.
– This dish is too precious for Saku-chan to eat.
No matter how much chatter went on in the chat, the truth remained unchanged: I was the one eating this dish.
In other words, it was my victory…!
“Well then, I’ll enjoy it, Suzumichi…!”
“Yup. I hope it suits your taste….”
The first thing I decided to eat was, of course, the Tamagoyaki Omelette Rice.
The surface still gleamed like gold, and my name was carefully written in ketchup by Suzumichi.
I gently scraped it with a spoon down to the fried rice beneath, creating a bite-sized piece.
And without hesitation, I popped it into my mouth.
“…D-delicious!”
The taste was truly astonishingly good.
The moist egg, the fried rice infused with a smoky flavor, and the ketchup garnishing it.
It was a perfect Omelette Rice that didn’t miss a single thing.
“Hmm… it’s definitely good.”
Then Suzumichi took a bite of the omelette rice, smiled, and nodded.
“T-then next, let’s do the Menchi Katsu….”
“Izumi-senpai.”
“Y-yes…?”
“T-the Menchi Katsu. I might need to say this directly, but I’m quite confident….”
Hearing that, I looked at the Menchi Katsu again.
The steam still drifting up from it combined with Suzumichi’s earlier confidence, making my anticipation soar high already.
“W-we should split it in half….”
The Menchi Katsu was too large for a single bite.
It wasn’t that the Menchi Katsu was too big; it was the problem of my small mouth.
Regardless, I picked it up with my chopsticks and brought it to my mouth.
As I slowly closed my mouth, the crunch echoed in my ears.
“Whew….”
And then, an immense flow of juice surged in.
Yet if it had just been simple juice, this would have been an ordinary Menchi Katsu.
“I-Is this cheese…?”
“Yup. It’s cheese. I heard Izumi-senpai likes cheese.”
That’s right. What enveloped my mouth along with the juice was the powerful flavor of cheese.
“Y-you really have high girlish power, Suzumichi….”
“Hehe… thank you, Izumi-senpai.”
Naturally, the sausage gratin I followed up with was also incredibly perfect.
Couldn’t anyone who could eat such dishes every day consider life blissful?
I started to envy Kaguya, who often gets cooking from Suzumichi.
…Well, I mean, I also have Suzuha who cooks for me often, so it’s fine!
★
“So, Izumi-senpai, were you satisfied with today’s dishes?”
“Yes! I-I was so incredibly satisfied…!”
Everything was delicious, to the point where she ate more than usual.
Of course, since my current appetite was rather small, eating more wouldn’t make much of a difference.
“If I get the chance again, I’d want to come again….”
Tamagoyaki Omelette Rice. Menchi Katsu. Sausage Gratin.
Each one was even better than my secret weapon, the Pork Cup Noodle, so no need to say more.
“I’m really happy to hear that! Now, I guess it’s time for the evaluation?”
– Time for the evaluation
– No need to say, it’s 100 points.
– Mei-chan seemed super satisfied, too.
“Now, on today’s Sakuya’s Time! What score do you give, Izumi-senpai?”
At the end of Sakuya’s Time, the guest scores the dishes.
The highest score is 100 points.
Until now, the guests have been Natsune, Suzuha, and Kaguya.
They gave scores of 100, 95, and 100 respectively.
The reason Suzuha gave 95 was that everything was good, but it faced a deduction due to Suzumichi playing with her height in the middle.
Thus, considering the dishes alone, it meant practically 100 points.
And now it was time for me to evaluate the meal I had today.
…Well, my answer was already settled.
“My score is… 100 points…!”
“Yay! I did it!!!”
Suzumichi looked overjoyed, clenching her fist and jumping a little.
– Natsune and I got 100 points last time, too.
– If it hadn’t been for Suzuhachi’s height, it would’ve all been 100 points…
“Ah! You can’t say that! If Suzuh-chan gets genuinely angry, it gets really scary!”
“Mm-hmm.”
I intensely agreed with Suzumichi’s words.
Angry Suzuha was indeed terrifying.
She shows unbelievable guts with that small stature….
“Ahem. Anyway, today’s Sakuya’s Time wraps up here! Thank you all for watching! So, everyone… today too, we’ve had a great meal~!”
“Let’s eat well…!”
– We had a great meal today!
– Bye, Izumi!
As the broadcast concluded, a wave of fullness mixed with drowsiness washed over me.
Of course, there was no time to sit still.
I had to clean up the dishes from the food we just had and do the dishes.
“Izumi-senpai, you can just sit still, you know.”
“Ah, no… It’s because I got to eat your food…”
“…Then I’ll change my clothes and be back.”
After a few rounds of banter, Suzumichi eventually nodded in agreement, allowing me to do the dishes.
Since I often stay home alone, I was used to this level of cleaning.
Moreover, since Suzumichi had already washed the big bowl used for cooking beforehand, there was really nothing hard about it.
“Done…!”
“Thank you for your hard work, Izumi-senpai.”
“W-well, it was actually Suzumichi who worked hard….”
What I did was just enjoy the delicious food Suzumichi had prepared and then clean up, so there was absolutely no reason for me to be commended.
Anyway, after finishing all the tidying up, I sat down on the bed in the room with Suzumichi.
I wasn’t going to sleep, but right now, an overwhelming drowsiness was making me feel too lazy to move.
“Izumi-senpai, if you’re tired, it’s okay to sleep a bit. I’ll wake you up when it’s time to go.”
“Ah, no…I’m just a little drowsy…”
As I said this, I yawned slightly, covering my mouth.
Looking at my state, if I lay down here, I surely wouldn’t be able to get up soon after.
No matter what, that would be a bother to Suzumichi…
