How can an ordinary person be the protagonist in a variety comic?

at the same time.

Hongyin, who was preparing ingredients in the open kitchen on the first floor, looked up and heard the noise coming from upstairs. She suddenly became worried and thought that Lorraine and Mingjin had quarreled.

But when I think about the good relationship between the two people, they have always had such a good relationship.

Hongyin thought it shouldn't be possible.

as predicted……

Next she saw Lorraine and Mingjinliu walking down the stairs side by side and directly came to the living room.

I saw Hongyin still preparing to cook.

Nazu Ryuuben said proactively.

"Since we still have some time, Old Lin... I'm going to practice in the courtyard first. Remember to call me when the meal is ready."

"okay, I get it."

"As for the areas that you mentioned before that need attention, I will try to pay attention to them during practice."

"Well, it's best to figure out where your combat limits are to avoid overstretching your capabilities in future battles, which will be very fatal."

"it is good!"

Done.

Nazu Ryuuben left the living room.

-

Lorraine also sat at the dining table, opposite the open kitchen.

Hongyin asked curiously while cooking.

"What were you talking about just now?"

"Didn't Mingjin-ryu unlock Soba magic now? So naturally we have to figure out Mingjin-ryu's combat data together. He also has to get used to using magic as soon as possible, so a lot of practice is essential. of."

"Sounds like it's going to be very hard."

"This is unquestionable. If you want to become stronger, you can't just talk about it. You have to prove it with actual actions. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war."

"Lorraine, you are so powerful, you must have suffered a lot before, right?"

"yes……"

Another long sigh, full of melancholy and vicissitudes of life.

The world is like this. Who in this world is not enduring pressure and pain every day, just to make themselves stronger and better?

This is the rule, everyone is like this, you can't escape, hide, or get rid of it.

of course……

Except for cheaters, Lorraine is really envious of those cheaters, but maybe this is also the rule. I have to admit that some people are born with their own buffs, commonly known as... talent!

-

this moment.

Hongyin looked at the figure sitting on the dining table not far away. For some reason, it always gave her a very lonely feeling, which made her feel distressed.

Hongyin also gradually realized.

She actually knew very little about the person she liked in front of her, too little.

There are too many things about Lorraine, too many secrets.

She knew nothing about it.

I really want to hug him...

I really want to know him...

I really want to possess everything about him...

Such thoughts kept popping up in Hongyin's mind, making her distracted. Even her hand that was chopping vegetables suddenly went awry, so she cut it with one knife!

"Ah ah!"

A scream of pain suddenly sounded from the kitchen.

"Hongyin!?"

When Lorraine heard the sound, she jumped up from her seat almost immediately, ran into the kitchen very quickly, ran to her side, and looked at her with worry.

When he saw himself, he just screamed in pain.

Lorraine ran over quickly and nervously, and Hongyin didn't know how happy she was.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Ah no..., it's nothing. I just accidentally cut my finger without paying attention."

"Bring it to me and see."

Lorraine quickly took Hongyin's injured hand.

Fortunately.

Only a small, shallow cut was made on the index finger, and a trace of blood spilled out.

"Don't move."

Lorraine first grabbed her hand, rinsed it under the tap, and then dried it with a towel.

Finally, he skillfully took out a band-aid from a cabinet below, carefully wrapped it, and applied it to the injured area of ​​his finger.

His movements were always careful and gentle.

All this made Hongyin look at her with her eyes closed shyly, her red lips opening into a smile, and her heart was filled with joy.

This feeling of being cared about even made her immersed in it, and she forgot about everything.

It was as if the injured person was not her at all, but Lorraine, who was dealing with the wound seriously.

-

"It's wrapped. Why are you so careless? You can cut all the vegetables with your hands."

"I'm sorry, and..., thank you."

"Okay, you better go and sit there, and leave the rest to Lao Lin."

"what?"

"I'll let you sit there and wait for dinner."

"But..., it was obviously me who proposed to cook for you, how could I turn around and let you do it? You are a patient."

"Then you help me, is that okay now?"

"Well..., okay, hehe."

Hongyin smiled happily.

Lorraine, who took over the job of chef, even though she was injured, still did her job skillfully.

Look at the other party's smooth movements.

Hongyin also realized that Lorraine's cooking skills might be far superior to hers, and she couldn't help but admire and envy her even more.

Lorraine even asked for the pink apron she was wearing, which was his.

Hongyin as deputy.

On the contrary, he stood there idle and bored, with nothing to do.

But she also felt it was a pleasure to watch the other person so busy up close.

I always feel...

Like newlyweds, hehe...

ah--

Hongyin felt ashamed for her thoughts.

"Lorraine."

"Ok?"

"Your cooking skills are so good. You must be the one responsible for cooking in this family, right?"

"That's right, as long as you stay in this house, you can just lie down and enjoy yourself after Mingjinliu comes back. I will be responsible for all other housework, such as washing and cooking."

"You did it all by yourself?"

Hongyin was a little surprised.

Of course Lorraine knew what she wanted to say, and smiled at her while chopping vegetables.

"This is Mingjin-ryu's home. All living expenses are borne by Mingjin-ryu alone. It is not easy for him to support two grown men by himself. Many times he even sacrifices his rest time to go to I work hard part-time outside just to earn more living expenses.”

"So that's it."

"Mingjinliu has already worked so hard for this family. Since I, Lorraine, can't contribute financially, at least I have to take care of housework and other aspects that I can do, right? Is it possible that Mingjinliu is still left outside? After working hard all day, when you get home, you don’t even have a hot meal to eat, right?”

"Incredible..., they are like a professional couple."

Hongyin sighed in surprise.

Lorraine smiled.

"It's nothing, it's just a simple comparison of feelings. Everyone performs their duties and helps each other. It's normal."

"Speaking of..., I don't know what's going on at your home, Lorraine. Are you staying at Nazu-ryu-san's house?"

When asked about this privacy.

Lorraine's movements slowed down obviously. He might be considering whether it would be better to fool him or reveal some truth.

At this time...

Seeing that the other party suddenly fell silent, Hongyin may have realized that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked.
