When I, a Mob, Saved the Heroine, I Got a Roundhouse Kick and Passed Out, and My Romantic Comedy Beg

Chapter 26 – Himeka-san, Your Cheeks are too Relaxed!

Sunday, the day after Moriyama-kun came to visit.

I keep looking at the photos of Moriyama-kun that I took with my phone yesterday.

Ufufu, doesn’t Moriyama-kun look very cute in this apron?

When I look at them, my cheeks naturally relax.

Yesterday was a tough morning.

After waking up, I did my customary exercises in the garden to loosen up, ate breakfast and then cleaned my room.

Moriyama-kun was coming, so I vacuumed and wiped everything to make sure there was not a speck of dust.

After cleaning, I took a shower and chose my clothes for the day.

After all, I’m going to meet Moriyama-kun.

I usually only see Moriyama-kun in school uniform, so I needed him to think I’m cute.

I chose a shoulder-length knitted top, and a blue skirt.

Since I was going to be cooking, I put my hair up in a ponytail.

I checked myself in the mirror.

The outfit is perfect, with a different vibe from my usual school look!

But the hardest part started from there.

The clock said it was only just past 8am.

Moriyama-kun was going to arrive at 10.00.

I was restless!

I looked outside every three minutes, wondering if it was time yet.

Perhaps my thoughts were appreciated, because Moriyama-kun showed up half an hour before the appointed time!

That’s just like Moriyama-kun, the seriousness of not being late for an appointment!

And it became even more difficult than in the morning when I was going to cook in the kitchen…

Moriyama-kun said he would help me even though he was a guest, and that we could spend time chatting if we cooked together, so I took him at his word and asked him to help me.

Then Mama brought an apron for Moriyama-kun.I thought it was a bit too flouncy and embarrassing, but Moriyama-kun wore it with a subtle look on his face.

And he looked cute! Really cute!

I tried to take out my phone to take a picture of him, but he started to fuss, but Mama said to take the picture together, so we got our first picture together!

Two people in the kitchen, side by side in aprons, Mama was the cameraman.

I really wanted to link arms with him, but I was too nervous about our first photo together in front of Mama, and in the end I couldn’t even do it. I was a little depressed because both Moriyama-kun and I had stern expressions on our faces in the pictures we took, and then Mama insisted on taking a picture with Moriyama-kun…

I had no choice, so I tried to be the cameraman, but Mama forcefully linked arms with Moriyama-kun!

It’s weird, isn’t it? It’s her daughter’s boyfriend. And she’s got her b*****s pressed against his arm!

Even I wanted to take a photo with my arms around him!

I  had a big fight with Mama.

I got mad and Moriyama-kun was trying to calm me down, but I ended up glaring at him, and then Mama got carried away again and hugged Moriyama-kun and said, “Don’t be afraid anymore. Mama will protect you,” as if I was the bad guy!

I was so mad that I took Moriyama-kun back from Mama and hugged him so she wouldn’t take him away from me again.

Because of this, before I knew it, it was past noon, and I started cooking in a hurry, finally settling down when I finished cooking the sauce for the soft noodles.

We had so much fun cooking side by side that I forgot all about the fight I had with Mama earlier.

That said, Moriyama-kun was really good at cooking.

When he ate my lunch, I wondered if he was a good cook. I asked him about it, and he replied, “Sometimes I make my own meals for lunch on my days off.” He was logically knowledgeable about seasonings.

And the highlight of the day was feeding him the bacon cutlet.

I look at the photos taken by Mama.

A picture of the usually wary Moriyama-kun with his mouth open defenselessly.

So cute…

The defenseless expression on the face of a strong, nice and admiring boy, it’s very nice…

And naturally, my cheeks relaxed again.

I could look at these pictures for an hour or two without getting bored.

Is it possible to enlarge it and make it into a poster?

I’d like to put it on the ceiling.

Speaking of ceiling posters, yesterday was the first time I invited the opposite s*x into my room.

Moriyama-kun complimented me on how stylish and nice my room was as soon as he entered. I’m glad I tidied up and cleaned in advance.

Then Moriyama-kun suddenly said something like, “Do you normally admire strong men?”

We both sat down to calm down, but I thought it was a chance to tell Moriyama-kun that he was a strong and wonderful person, and that I admire him a lot.

Moriyama-kun is usually so self-deprecating (But he shouldn’t! Moriyama-kun, who tried to help me, is really cool!)

So I tried to be brave and tell him, but in the end I couldn’t say it right…

But afterwards, thanks to my mental unification, I was able to ask Moriyama-kun to hold my hand, and he did, and we had a good time chatting, and the Mont Blanc he bought me was really delicious, so I had a really happy time…

Sigh, I can’t wait for tomorrow…

I wish I could go to school so I could meet Moriyama-kun.

Himeka, with her face buried in the cushion on which Ichiro was sitting yesterday, flapped her legs while thinking about him a lot. After the event of spending a day at home with her beloved, she was feeling a little squirmy. (T/N: Damn… Himeka’s down bad…)
