Chapter 10 - December 24th (Thursday) – Ayase Saki

Once the end-of-term ceremony ended, I headed out to buy the ingredients Mom had asked me to get (which were vegetables and various seasonings) and headed right home. Tonight, we’re having a combined birthday and Christmas party at home. Mom took the day off and said she’d be cooking for today, so I wanted to get home as quickly as possible to help her. Upon arriving, I opened the front door that I had completely gotten used to by this point. I said “I’m home” and took off my outdoor shoes.

“Welcome back. You’re quicker than I thought.” Mom was already standing in the kitchen.

Even though it was only slightly past noon.

“Let me help.”

“Oh, my. I’m perfectly fine on my own, so why not get some rest?”

There’s no way I can let her handle all the work—but I can’t say that.

“I’m fine, I’m not tired. Also, here.”

I placed the plastic bag of groceries on the dining table.

“Thanks.”

“I’ll get changed and then come to help you.”

“Aren’t you a bit stubborn today. I wonder who you take after…”

You, Mom. But I swallowed that comment and headed into my room. Once I was done changing, I immediately returned to the kitchen.

“What are you making today? Any particular ideas?”

“Since we’re celebrating Christmas and both of your birthdays, I was thinking of making it a bit more luxurious than usual. Rice, miso soup, salad, and meat.”

That… sounds pretty much the same as our regular dinner, no?

“But this is the meat we’ll be working with!” She swung open the fridge door and showed me the situation inside.

Whoa, that piece of meat is huge! Not to mention that it was packed into several smaller packages.

“This… isn’t regular chicken, is it?”

“It’s turkey meat.”

“How…? When…?”

It’d make sense if it was duck meat. They sell that in the local supermarkets. But although I see it more frequently now than I used to, a turkey of all things is still a rarity over here, like I’d have to enter the land of dreams to get a bite. How did she…?

“Is this already grilled?”

“Cooking this from raw would be a bit too much, even for me. I do know a recipe for it, but that would take up far too much time. You’d have to grill it and then let it freeze for three days, prepare everything the day before, stuff it, and put it together again… which is delicious, but I might as well save the time, right?”

“Y-Yeah, sounds rough.”

“That it is. And that’s why we ordered it roasted. Or rather, Taichi-san did. It just got here not too long ago. We just have to warm it up.” She closed the fridge.

“That means we can leave the meat for last… What else?”

“Rice, salad, and miso soup.”

“Huh? But that doesn’t take that long…”

“Oh? Are you getting the wrong idea, by any chance?”

Huh?

“Oh, Ayase-san. Welcome back.”

I turned around to see Asamura-kun coming out of his room.

“Ah, I’m home.”

“And you’re awake I see, Akiko-san. Are you already preparing dinner?”

“I was actually thinking of cleaning the kitchen first.
