Part 5: I Won't Come Home Like This
「Thank you for the food」
Naoto put his hands together. In front of him were two plates of curry that were beautifully leveled.
Sophia watched Naoto with curious looking eyes.
「What is going on with you, Sophia-san?」
「『Thank you for the food』, and『Ittadakimasu』. Even when I ate with Yuka, she said that with such hand gestures.」
Sophia imitated Naoto's hand movements and put her palms together.
「This is similar to the way Buddhists put their hands together during religious ceremonies. Is this also one of the religious rituals?」
「Ah, come to think of it」
Thanks for the food, but I never thought it was part of a religious ceremony.
「The implication is as a way of expressing gratitude to the people who have made this food and the animal life lost by being an ingredient in the food we eat..」
「Habits I have to learn to live as an ordinary person in Japan？」
「Yes that's correct. I think a foreigner who can say "thank you for the food" frankly will be liked.」
「I understand. I will follow Naoto and get this habits」
Sophia said so and put her palms together.
「Thank you for the food」
That unusual but cute move made my heart beat really fast.
Sophia is a professional assassin. If that's true, she's a dangerous existence that I shouldn't get involved with.
However, this cuteness alone can't be denied by me ....
「Ah, umm, how does it feel...?」
I asked Sophia, as if tricking me.
「Does it taste good？」
「yes」
「Really……」
「I think curry stimulates my taste buds more. However, the curry I ate today had just the right amount of spiciness, sweetness and sourness, and I never got tired of eating it..」
「I don't know how it's cooked at other houses, but in my curry, I fry the onions until they're browned, I also added slightly expensive honey ordered from other regions as a secret ingredient. Cut the chicken, potatoes, and carrots into large pieces for a fancy look. Also, many commercially available roux types are blended to provide depth of taste.」
「I see, it's like the same excuse with gunpowder. If you mix some gunpowder, it creates various effects」
「……Well, curry has its own taste in every household. All the roux sold in Japan are delicious, so you don't have to spend as much time and effort as I do to make it delicious.」
「Yes. But I want to be able to make curry like Naoto. It will definitely help Naoto. 」
「Thank you Then can you wash the dishes with me?」
「Of course」
After washing the dishes and putting down the dishes, Naoto said,
「Then, I'll be back here tomorrow night. Is that fine with you, Sophia-san?」
「partial affirmation」
「partial affirmation？」
「How should I behave in high school? I want to act like Naoto's Wife, but I don't want to cause trouble for Naoto.」
「uh. That's right. For now, act the same as before」
「Reason」
「Sophia wants to hide the fact that you are an assassin. However, in the current situation, if you interact with other people, you might get in trouble. Then, I think it's better to hide the fact that you are my wife…or rather, that kind of relationship.」
「I understand. Minimizing critical risks in a mission」
「Ah, lunch should be a complete nutritious meal like before. Let's take it slow and take it easy. For breakfast, I've made sandwiches in the fridge, so if you eat them, you can eat them.」
「I understand」
「……then, good night」
While picking up the bag, Sophia grabbed the wrist of my right hand.
I wonder if Sophia is taking it easy on me, since I've been gripped with a rather firm grip.
「So, Sophia-san……？」
My heart was pounding… Naoto instinctively asked.
No, I really did. What does Sophia want??
Why did Sophia say "partially affirmation" twice in our previous conversation?
Sophia was still holding Naoto's right hand, and she stopped.
His face was expressionless as usual. However, there was a blush in his eyes.
It wasn't that Naoto didn't expect it. I'm sure I expected it too.
But really, Sophia-san and I did something like that...
「Deepen relationships of trust and mutual understanding. To behave appropriately as Naoto's wife……」
His grip became more intense. Sophia's palm that was grabbing it also started to sweat.
「I want to ask it as a logical conclusion… i.e. I want to have s*x with Naoto……」
