''Kiyotaka-Kun, I'm coming in?"

Kei entered my living room while I was laying on my couch.

"...well, what do you want to do now? Would you like dinner? or a bath? or ... me❤?

''I want to eat,'' I answered without hesitation.

''Me❤?''

"Why would I wanna.......oh..''

I just realized what she meant, especially since she stood there constantly fidgeting and blushing.

"Sorry, not interested, I'd rather eat...NORMAL FOOD."

''Ah Mou..'' Kei pouted.

I was tired. It was mentally straining for me to throw away that novel. Not because it belonged to Yamauchi, but cause she made me cut out the breasts of any big-breasted characters that appeared with scissors before throwing it away. And there were 148 pages of boobs. I really wish she would stop...

"So what do you want to eat today? I'll make it!"

''Hmm, whatever."

"Eh, 'whatever' annoys the cook the most, ya know?" 

'' Fine, I will have an omelet, then."

I didn't care what I was going to eat, so I just threw out an omelet since that's the first thing that came to mind, but after thinking about it, it was a huge mistake...

"With my love❤?" She said with a cute smile.

''I just want a normal omelet.''

"With my love❤?" 

"...When you say love...you mean affection, right?......RIGHT?"

Kei stood there silently like a scarecrow just smiling at me. Knowing Kei her definition of 'Love' most likely differs from the norm.

"Okay! I'll see you in a bit!"  She went to the kitchen with great enthusiasm without answering my question.

I have a bad feeling about this.

--------------------------------

After a little while, I sat at the dining table, while Kei presented me her dish.

''Wow, that looks pretty good!" 

"Really? Thanks!"

The dish she made was an omelet with fried rice and thin, fried scrambled eggs, topped with ketchup. It is a popular dish commonly cooked at both home and restaurants.

The smell of butter reaches my nose pleasantly, and the fragrance of the other ingredients mixed with the seasoning was also a good smell. It looks really fluffy and delicious like it was made by a professional.

"Bon appétit." 

"Yes."

She used the ketchup to form a heart shape on the omelet. Is this what she meant by Love? If so, then I'm glad. Finally something normal.

"Yeah! Delicious."

The taste was simple but appetizing. Gotta love the ketchup, the slightly cooked white rice, and the eggs! It really is a good combination!

"Oh, yeah? heh, thank you." She giggled.

Kei was sitting on the chair in front of me, shaking in excitement. A rosy blush was visible on her cheeks. ...hmm? There's definitely something wrong with her.

''I'm sorry, did I say something funny?" I asked.

''No, I mean... you said it was delicious...hehe" 

"Yeah, so?..."

''Actually, there's a secret ingredient in that omelet. ''

''A secret ingredient?''

Wow, I didn't notice that at all. I wonder if there's a secret in the seasoning. It definitely tasted like iron, though. ...Hmm? Why did it taste like Iron? No, don't tell me....

I lowered my fork and knife.

''Kei what's the secret ingredient?"

When I asked her with a hint of concern, Kei answered with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"...blood."

"blood!?"

"...blood."

I knew it! I knew something was off when she talked about love, but you've got to be kidding me!

"Yeah, but whose?" 

"Oh, mine..."

''...I see.''

''I was so embarrassed when you said my blood was delicious, that I couldn't bring myself to tell you. Now you and I literally one❤.'' 

What a messed-up view on love. I looked at the omelet with dead eyes, my appetite was suddenly gone. But I mustered my courage to swallow the rest. I need to go along with the lie here.

"Oh, yeah, it was good!" I said while taking another bite.

'' Yay! I'll keep making it for you!"

''No, we can't have that. I don't want you to lose any more blood. I care more about your body than what I eat."

"K-Kiyotaka-kun..." Kei stared at me, a little teary-eyed.

Thank God! I managed to bullshit my way out of that absurd situation. What's wrong with her? Does she have Twilight fetish or something? This will probably prevent me from being served blood next time. Probably.

With that, I finished my plate. I've come this far, and I'm burned out for the day.

''I'm going to take a bath. Do you want to go first Kei?" 

''No, you go in first.'' She answered instantly.

"Okay....." 

I eyed her suspiciously. It's strange. The old Kei would have said something like, "Let's take a bath together," but what happened to her? Is it possible that she matured? If so, I'm glad................. Hmm?

She's definitely up to something.

I went to the bathroom...heated the water in the bathtub, undressed, and after a while, the water was boiling, so I decided to have a quick bath.

"Fu..."

Warm. Now, this is life, not having to worry about anything. Wish this could go on forever...

After I was done I went to sleep on my couch, while Kei took a bath! I hope Kei doesn't do anything weird while I'm asleep.

I fell into a deep slumber with that poor wish in my heart.

Kei POV

I think he's already gone to bed. 

Ah Mou..... I wanted to spend some more time with him.

Oh well. Today I get to enjoy the rest of Kiyotaka-kun's hot water❤!

The entire bathroom already has his scent❤ on it, so it was like heaven❤.

I removed the tiny video camera I attached at the corner right before he entered. It was facing the bathtub. The camera was shaped to resemble a cockroach, Kiyotaka-Kun finds bugs annoying. Something about not being able to predict an insect's movements. That's why he probably ignored it.

And now I got to see him naked❤, too.

I wonder if my dream life will start today...
