Chapter 49.1: Stranger Visit (1)

Saturday, i got a chance to visit Mizuki because i'm already done with my house chores.

I'm wearing a brown coat jacket with sleeves up to my arm with gray cotton t shirt, a brown shortpants and a pair of black slippers.

I've bought her a chocolate almond cake that was hand made by me, a soy milk, cheesy lasagna for me, a 3D pen and several filaments so she won't be bored and some cooking magazines.

I've read that she's also a great designer artist if only she's not obsessed with cooking.

When i arrived and visit her, it looks like she's still sleeping, until 45 minutes later, a caretaker nurse arrived which is the one who's assisting her let me enter.

It's 6:27 am....

"Knock, hello Mizuki-san."

She's surprised.

"Reika-kun? Why are you so early?"

"Oh, i don't have anything to do, i'm rich and everything i want can be easily obtain so i want something that won't make me bored, coming here feels like i won't be bored."

That's just a lie.

"Eh...? You just came here because you're bored?"

"Don't misunderstand, i'm really curious why it felt fun here, Miru will come here later anyway so i might stay as well."

"Oh... But excuse me first since i will wash myself first okay?"

"No problem."

The nurse assisted her to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, after 14 minutes, they came back.

"We won't request a breakfast nurse, i already have one to give."

The nurse nod and left.

I took out the whole cake enough for 2 servings but can be consume alone and the soy milk too.

"Reika-kun? Did you make this?"

"Un, it's a chocolate almond cake, i grinded the almonds."

"Is this whole cake for me?"

The dark chocolate that almost didn't reflect light, that is covered by chocolate crust because of coconut oil, simple looking cake with low amount of frosting.

"Yes, that's only for you, i have my own, would you like to know my recipe?" I gave her a spoon.

She took a bite and continue to rub her tongue to the roof of her mouth.

Simple but creates a dark taste of earthy flavor.

"Amazing! This is the best.... The sweetness of the cake is nuetralized by dark chocolate, the frosting isn't thick to make me full instantly, the dark chocolate is also accompanied by earthy flavor of almonds, the cake isn't too thick nor full of air, it feels like it's packed with flavor and instantly melts in my mouth!"

"Ha, thank you for the compliment."

She took a drink of the soy milk i've brought and drink a generous intake.

Meanwhile, i started to eat my own lasagna, big enough to feed six people but i have a huge apetite so i can solo this.

I took a spoonful amount and the cheese pull only made me crave for it to be eaten instantly.

Took a bite, and then it felt like a heavens of cheese.

Mizuki looks curious and craving to took a bite too.

"A patient shouldn't be eating such things like this, you should eat vegetables." I took another bite to try teasing her.

"Just a bite, if you give me a bite, i will give you what Miru likes and dislikes, what do you need? Favorite colors? Favorite judo move? Underwear? What-"

"When did you come up with that conclusion?"

"Eh? I thought you're just making an excuse so you can impress my sister."

"..."

"....."

"... Am i right?"

"No you are wrong." I said it in a poker face.

"Really? You really just came here because you're bored?"

"Yes."

"....."

"....."

She covered her face with her two palms to hide her embarrassment.

"That was.... Please forget what i said."

"It's okay, i was just planning to tease you, i didn't expect for you to come with that conclusion, i'm just her friend even our relationship looks like a lazy and hateful to each other."

"Un, i see.... So you're going to give me one?"

"Un, here's a new spoon."

She happily took a bite and was surprised.

"This is! High quality cheese!"

"Thank you for the compliment, would you like to know the recipe?"

"What's the payment?"

"Why are you like this."

"Oh....Ahemm, so no payment?"

"Of course it's my good will."

"Yay! Okay, so what is it made of?"

"30% pork, 20% veal, homemade tomato sauce, lasagna noodle, soffritto, buffalo mozzarella, parmigiano reggiano cheese, provolone cheese and bechamel sauce."

"That's the whole ingredients? Okay, thank you, i have a general idea to cook a lasagna, i will research it as soon as i'm finally okay." She took out a pen and small notebook out of nowhere.

"That's great, but when did those piece of notes came from."

"Oh, i'm keeping them when i'm bored."

".....Then good luck."

We both took another bite.

"I actually focus on tropical country seafoods so Italian dishes is something that never came to me, but it looks so tasty, it's thick, unlike western restaurant here, this is something that looks worth to spend money with."

"Then, i will look forward to your lasagna as soon as you healed up, here's a 3D pen anyway."

She looks shock again.

"Reika-kun...."

She looks comforting and she's looking at me with gentle eyes.

"Yes?"

"Did you got struck by love at first sight?" She's too gentle looking to be called as teasing.

"Uh... When did you get that idea again."

"First you gave me a cake, then tease me about the lasagna and now you're giving me this, did you fall in love with me when we first met?"

Oh my, she's too gentle and sweet but why she's always misunderstanding.

"Well, i can say that you're indeed beautiful Mizuki-san but you know, there are so many beautiful girls i kept seeing in my life which includes you and Miru that it felt too normal to me, it's just i'm kind to everyone, and i'm not sure if i'm able to see you again if Miru heard this, she will definitely kill me."

"Hehe, i'm just joking~"

"That's great to hear, i'm kind of happy that you are still enthusiastic despite your situation."

"Un, i don't like it when Miru keeps making a cold face so i'm always here to at least make her more comfortable, even though my parents don't visit me, as long as i have my sister and Isha worrying about me, i'm happy, and that's the same for them."

What kind of family do you have that the three of you can only show your true blissful self in this small space.

"That's really a good source of motivation."

"I'm also happy that my sister face is much more better yesterday, it must be because of you, please take care of her." She said it without looking at me because she's busy fiddling with the 3D pen.

"I will, she's really a great student."

When we realized it, we both already finished the lasagna.

"Oya oya, Mizuki-san, i ate a lot because i work out and burn calories faster because of my metabolism, but what about you? You're going to get fat."

"Ha, i also have fast metabolism Reika-kun, thank you for the food..." She pat and rub my head violently.

"...Haha, your hair is too long, your bangs are falling down and you look handsome."

I lift my bangs and held her hand to stop her from doing it again.

And then the door opened which froze both of us.

It's Miru.

She's carrying a white bag, possibly containing food.

"What the hell are you doing."
