My daily life with the Shiina sisters

"I am back."

Inexplicably, she wanted to say this.

Imagawa Kaede lazily lay down on the sofa, and finally said, "Welcome home." when he saw the visitor.

Unexpectedly, he started laughing after he finished speaking. Seeing this, Mahiru asked while packing up the ingredients she bought:

"What are you laughing at?"

"The conversation just now felt like a stay-at-home husband welcoming his wife home after a long day at work."

Thinking about the conversation that was different from the past, Mahiru suddenly realized that it was indeed the case.

The two of them usually go out together, and it is indeed rare for me to go out alone. Usually, Imagawa Kaede goes out for some things on weekends. Therefore, it is usually Imagawa Kaede who says, "I'm back."

However, she followed Imagawa Kaede's words and said with a smile:

"Then Feng should go to work from now on, and I'll just stay at home."

"Well, if Mahiru doesn't have anything else she wants to do in the future, let me work and support her."

"I'm just afraid that if I go out to work and come home, I still have to do housework. Wouldn't that be too sad?"

"Emm...Are you so worried about me?"

"Is it okay to have cold shabu-shabu and tea rice in the evening?" She deliberately chose to avoid answering Imagawa Kaede's question.

"Ok."

After getting the answer, Mahiru started to get busy in the kitchen.

Today's menu was specially made by Mahiru for Imagawa Kaede because Imagawa Kaede kept yelling about it being hot or something.

"Cold shabu-shabu" is actually to cut the meat into thin slices and boil it in a pot, then take it out and drain it to cool, then add it to lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, carrot shreds, etc. and mix it with seasonings. It tastes like a salad with meat, so it is very refreshing. (It is recommended to use beef rolls directly for meat)

As for Chazuke, it is a traditional Japanese cuisine, adding Japanese tea and ice cubes to the rice, or with mustard, soy sauce, miso soup, mirin, sesame, and some side dishes such as plums, natto, and seaweed. (The same reason is to cool down here, in winter it is still quite comfortable to eat directly with hot tea.)

However, since Imagawa Kaede doesn't like natto, she didn't add it.

Since both dishes were relatively simple to prepare, it didn’t take long for the two of them to sit down at the dining table.

Imagawa Kaede has never had the good habit of not talking while eating or sleeping:

"Is there anything Mahiru likes?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Putting the cherry tomatoes and shredded carrots that Mahiru disliked into her bowl, Imagawa continued:

"I feel like Mahiru is very cunning. Isn't this dinner specially made by Mahiru because I said it was hot today? Mahiru knows me very well, but I feel like I don't know Mahiru well enough."

After returning the shredded carrots to Imagawa Kaede somewhat helplessly, Shiina Mahiru said, "Don't be picky about food, but I always feel like you're going to spend money recklessly again, just like the watch last time."

"How can you call it wasting money? Wasn't Mahiru happy when she received the gift?"

"I would be happy indeed, but I didn't send... a corresponding gift in return."

This is indeed the reality. Although Mahiru is not short of money, it is still a bit difficult for her to come up with tens of millions of yen at once.

"How can I not give a return gift? If the housewife's labor is converted into annual income, it is said to be 304.1 million yen." An idea suddenly occurred to me as the data mentioned by the heroine in the TV series last night when she was chatting with her bestie. "Although I can do a little, most of it is still done by Mahiru."
