Anime: My younger sister, Sora, starts as an illustrator!

Chapter 43



This time, Toru Kasugano’s cooking skills have finally been officially certified.

Seeing that Kato Megumi drank three bowls of rice and still looked unsatisfied, the boy finally felt relieved.

It seems that his treat today should not be too shabby.

Kato Megumi felt that she might be shy more times in a day than in her entire life. She clearly vowed before the meal that she would stop after eating only one bowl of rice. But when she really sat at the table and smelled the tempting aroma of the ribs, she forgot everything.

The ribs are no longer just crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The ribs that are cooked just right only need to grab the bones exposed outside and pull them lightly to remove the bones. When it comes to the mouth, the aroma after frying and the taste of the sauce blend perfectly, instantly igniting the girl’s taste buds.

“Kasugano-san’s cooking skills are great. When I saw so much oil just now, I was wondering if the ribs would be greasy, but I didn’t expect them to be so delicious.”Kato Megumi generously gave her highest praise, and Kasugano Toru was a little embarrassed.

But soon, the girl’s next sentence made him feel something was wrong.

“It would be nice if I could eat it more often. I always feel that after eating the food cooked by Kasugano-san, I can no longer eat anything else.

Seeing the girl’s slightly shy and slightly expectant expression, Kasugano Toru really wanted to say

“You’re dreaming. Are you looking for a long-term meal ticket here? Spare ribs are free!”

……

By the time Kato Megumi finished her meal, it was already dark. It was only April, so the sun didn’t set too late. In the spirit of responsibility, Kasugano Toru insisted on sending the girl back home.

You know, neon nights are not safe, and the night often becomes a cover for crime. In a country where even gangs are legalized, it is wishful thinking to expect it to be safe.

Although Kato Megumi repeatedly said that it was okay for her to go back alone, and the distance between the two homes was not far, Kasugano Toru still insisted on sending her home.

After just a brief refusal, Kato Megumi followed the boy obediently. In fact, she had been looking forward to such a day for a long time.

Although they were not going back to their common home, the girl was already very happy as long as they could walk together.

“I always feel that Kasugano-san has become very fond of laughing since the beginning of this semester.”Kato Megumi walked beside the boy, and then in the dim light of the street lamp, she leaned forward slightly and turned her head to look at the boy’s profile.

Kasugano Toru was indeed laughing at this time. Being able to walk with Kato Megumi gave him the illusion that he was not a single dog.

Moreover, girls like Kato Megumi are gentle and lovely. They are not competitive in character, but very easy to get along with, and have a feeling of moisturizing everything.

When chatting with a girl, you don’t have to worry about the atmosphere becoming awkward, nor do you have to worry about whether the topic is good enough. The two of you can talk about anything, just like old friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time, but are still familiar with each other.

So Kasugano Toru didn’t think there was anything wrong with the girl’s question.

“Of course, I used to worry about living expenses every day, and I also had to take care of my sister. It was not easy to feed two people. Although it was very hard, the expression on Kasugano Toru’s face did not show any hardship.

Although it was very tiring, I didn’t have to look at the faces of those stupid relatives, and I could live happily with my sister in this small house. This was what Kasugano Toru dreamed of.

“What about now?”The boy didn’t react much yet, but Kato Megumi felt a little sad.

In the first year of high school, because they were deskmates, the distance between the two was actually very close. The girl also often saw Kasugano Toru napping during class, and occasionally there would be bruises on his body.

At first, she thought Kasugano Toru was some kind of bad boy, but with the impression left by a previous incident and her trust in the boy, Kato Megumi boldly contacted this person she had been thinking about for a long time.

As she got to know him better, the girl realized how hard this boy who was the same age as her had it.

The lack of sleep was because he always had to work in the izakaya, and the bruises on his body were because he encountered troublesome guests. To be fair, if Kato Megumi experienced such a life, she might collapse.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but be full of respect for her parents. If it weren’t for their hard work, she wouldn’t have such a comfortable living environment.

“Now, now I finally hook up with a rich man!” Kasugano Toru made a declaration of being kept with great pride.

From a certain perspective, he is now indeed tied to the novel”Love Metronome”. He is not only responsible for the illustration work, but also has to advise Kasumigaoka Utaha on the outline and character design.

Of course, the hard work is matched with generous rewards. Now Kasugano Toru only needs to work two days a week, and take care of some things in the evening after school, and he can easily get the same money as before.

Hearing the boy’s declaration, the girl shook her head helplessly.

Why does this guy always like to say something strange? Is it an honorable thing to be kept?

You know, in Japan, the social status of women is very low. It is not an honorable thing for a man to be kept by a rich woman.

But this is what Kato Megumi thinks. If it were other men, they would wish that a rich woman would keep them.

Who wants to work hard?……

“Congratulations to Kasugano-san. It’s so hard to find a blind man.”The unhappy girl could only poke Kasugano Toru a little.

But as gentle as Kato Megumi is, even if she is unhappy, she will not say anything hurtful to the person she likes.

But Kato Megumi feels so depressed. She was thanking her parents for providing her with a good growth environment a minute ago, but now the girl has only one thought.

Why isn’t she a rich person?

If Kasugano-san really wants to succumb to money, then just succumb to me!

Just as the girl was imagining becoming a rich person in the future and supporting Kasugano Toru, the boy suddenly stopped.

“Oops, I forgot to bring the medicinal wine I prepared for Kato……”

Kasugano Toru felt that he was such a loser. Although he had seen a different side of Kato Megumi today, it was too embarrassing for him to be so absent-minded.

Kato Megumi blushed again.

Because when she was leaving, she had already seen the medicinal wine on the shoe cabinet, but she didn’t remind him.

If she pretended to forget to take it today, could she still come to Kasugano Toru’s house tomorrow?

“Kasugano-san, you didn’t forget to bring it on purpose, did you, so that I can come again tomorrow?”

Kato Megumi, who was afraid that her little trick would be exposed, decided to take the initiative.
