As promised, I made spaghetti with meat sauce, but Kaede prepared the salad and corn soup because the spaghetti alone was not nutritionally balanced. She watched her food as she looked after the pots and pans, and I was slightly impressed by her fluid movements.
“I think even Yuya-kun did a good job? But no matter how many times I eat it, the spaghetti that Yuya-kun makes is always delicious! You could open a restaurant?”
“Haha… that’s indeed an exaggeration. But I’m glad that Kaede thinks so.”
I had just finished washing the dishes, drinking a cup of tea that Kaede had prepared for me. Why is that? It was because of the “special thing” that Kaede had mentioned at the end of our date today.
“Fufu. I can easily see what Yuya-kun is thinking. You’re wondering what kind of “special” thing the store manager and I have prepared to surprise Yuya-kun?”
No, could you please not perform a mind scan without permission? The probability of your guess is so exquisite that it’s hard for me to respond. The manager of the maid’s clothing store is definitely not a good person.
“What are you thinking about, Yuya-kun! The store manager is a wonderful person! Not only did she fulfill my request brilliantly, but she even went a step further with her suggestion saying that regular maid outfits are cute and suggested to me some good ones that will make my boyfriend swoon? Hehe!”
“How can a store manager be so wonderful when she laughs like a drunk father in front of her customers!?”
I couldn’t help but gulp, but I could easily imagine that store manager smiling down at me like an evil lord from a period drama. I guess she was on the same wavelength as Kaede, who loves to make fun of me, or rather my bad jokes.
“You’re wondering what that is, aren’t you? I’m sure you’re wondering!?”
“No, thank you… not today. I’ll pass.”
“Mou… Yuya-kun is shy, isn’t he? Then why don’t you play a game with me? If Yuya-kun wins, I’ll back off for today. But if I win… you know what I mean?”
As Kaede licked her tongue, I gulped down a mouthful of tea at the look of fascination on her face. I wondered what kind of heaven awaited me if I lost this game. The devil in my head whispered, “If it’s heaven, why don’t you accept it.” But I can’t give in to her!
“I get it. All I have to do is win the game, right? I’ll take that game.”
Besides, games were my forte. When Rika, Kaede, and I used to play with each other, I would dominate them. No matter what field I’m in, I won’t lose!
“Hmmm. Yuya-kun, you are now thinking, ‘Kaede is an idiot for challenging me to a game,’ right? Hmph. That’s so sweet, Yuya-kun.”
The aura emanating from Kaede’s whole body displayed her absolute confidence in this battle. What kind of game was she going to challenge me to!? Is this some kind of RTA where you compete to see how long it takes to complete a game?
“Here’s the game we’re going to play! It’s Momotaro Dentetsu! In addition to the strategic elements, there are probably some luck elements involved, so even I can beat Yuya-kun in this one!”
[TN: Momotaro Dentetsu – Japanese Monopoly]
It was a party game that I never expected. And this was a game that was said to have destroyed friendships with a single mistake. If you harassed someone in order to win, you’d end up in a fight, and other people’s misfortune was a taste of honey. It was a popular game that everyone could enjoy together, including those things.
“I can beat Yuya-kun with this. After all, I know how to win this game!”
“That’s a lot of confidence, Kaede.”
Kaede smiled as she cleared her throat. Have I ever seen Kaede this confident in a game before? No, never. And if she knows how to win, I’m at a complete disadvantage.
“Aah, Yuya-kun! You’re competing against me! If you lose, you’ll be forced to enjoy the ‘special treat’!”
It was a win-win situation after all, but I wouldn’t lose anything, right? I thought, but I didn’t want to say anything.

About two hours after the game started.
“Uuh… why do you always stick to me, Bombie! I mean, isn’t Yuya-kun’s luck too strong!?”
“It’s a foul play,” Kaede complained in tears. No, it was because Kaede was always the furthest from the goal, wasn’t it? I guess it was also my fault for getting carried away and making the computer player stronger. The computer would do what you didn’t want it to do, as if it sees right through you.
“Not yet, not yet! The game isn’t decided yet! We can make a miraculous comeback from here…!”
“No, I don’t think you can, because I’m almost done, okay?”
Despite Kaede’s spirited efforts, the game came to an end. When the ranking of the game was announced, Kaede was in last place, the computer was in second place, and I was in first place. Incidentally, it was thanks to Kaede that I was able to land the first place. She taught me a lot of things that I was not used to playing. In fact, she taught me almost everything, including how to win.
I think it wasn’t so much that she was a strong, but that she genuinely wanted to enjoy the game with me. I was able to have a lot of fun thanks to his gentle lecture to my confusion. Kaede’s defeat was partly due to her giving too much salt to the enemy, but the most important factor was the computer. His harassment was just too much. In the middle of the game, Kaede was on the verge of tears, and I had to console her by gently pushing her. Then the harassment got even worse, and I even thought that maybe someone was operating the computer from behind the screen.
“Uuh… I shouldn’t have gotten carried away and set the mode to fierce… This ruined my plan to surprise Yuya-kun with a “special” costume and turn him into a wolf… Shame on me.”
What do you mean, “turn me into a wolf”? Also, from the way you just said it, I’m pretty sure you would not be wearing a maid’s uniform. What kind of clothes did you prepare?
“Are you curious? I’m sure you’re curious!? eh, but Yuya-kun said he would refrain from doing so, so unfortunately, it is sealed and stored away.”
I cover my face with my hand, but you know I am glancing at you, through my fingers, okay? That’s it. That’s what’s so cute about you, it makes me want to spoil you.
“All right, Kaede. If you say so much, can you show me that special item? Or rather, please show it to me, please.”
I bowed my head. It wasn’t because I was curious about Kaede’s specialties, and it wasn’t because I wanted to be a wolf. I just felt that I couldn’t let the costume Kaede had purchased for me go to waste.
[TN: Meanwhile the devil in Yuya’s mind grins in an evil laugh]
“If Yuya-kun says so much, I can’t help it! Then I’ll unveil it after the bath! Please be prepared for that, okay?”
After regaining her energy, Kaede stood up vigorously and declared war on me. If she’s going to go that far, let’s hope for the best. What kind of costume will it be? Well, I can pretty much guess.
“Fufu. What about it? I will always go beyond Yuya-kun’s imagination. I can imagine the look on Yuya-kun’s face when he wears my “special”. Aah… Yuya-kun, you look so cute and shy… I want to eat you just like that.”
Kaede licks her tongue. Eh? Ah, what the h**l kind of costume did you buy? I’m starting to get worried all at once!?
“Well then, Yuya-kun. I’m going to take a bath first today. While you’re taking a bath, I’ll get it ready for you, so please cleanse your body with excitement, okay?”
I’m already so nervous that I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my mouth.
