Proficiency System: Mrs. Yuigahama, I Still Like You More

"Yui, come down to eat."

"Okay, mom. I'll be right there."

Yuigahama Yui ran down and sat at the table. She saw Hasegawa Kenichi sitting opposite her and couldn't help blushing slightly. Thinking of how she almost expressed Japan's most sincere apology before, she felt a little embarrassed. Then she thought that Hasegawa Kenichi was going to live in her house, which means that she and Hasegawa Kenichi were going to live under the same roof, and she felt a little shy.

"Yui, don't be stupid, hurry up and say hello to Hasegawa-kun. This child is always so stupid." Mrs. Yuigahama looked at her daughter and lowered her head directly, and couldn't help but say to Yuigahama Yui.

"Hasegawa-san, good morning." Yuigahama Yui hurriedly greeted Hasegawa Kenichi at the urging of Mrs. Yuigahama.

"Good morning, Yuigahama-san." Hasegawa Kenichi smiled and nodded.

"Well, we will live together from now on. It would be too unfamiliar to call each other classmates. Hasegawa-kun, just call Yui by her name. After all, we will be together for a long time in the future, so it's not good to call each other by such unfamiliar names." Mrs. Yuigahama rolled her eyes and said to Hasegawa Kenichi.

"Uh, indeed, then. Yuigahama, can I call you that?" Hasegawa Kenichi thought that Mrs. Yuigahama was right, so he asked.

"Yes, yes. Hasegawa-san, no, Hasegawa." Yui Yui still blushed and looked shy.

Mrs. Yuigahama frowned slightly. What she meant was that she should call Yui and Kenichi by their names directly. But thinking about the fact that they had called each other classmates before, it would not be good to take such a big step. Let's do it slowly for now.

"Yui, come and try this dish of mapo tofu. How does it taste?" Mrs. Yuigahama smiled and pointed to the dish of mapo tofu on the table.

"Hey? Did mom make mapo tofu today? I've never seen mom make it before." Yuigahama Yui was attracted by the plate of mapo tofu, or rather, she was attracted by it on purpose, so that she didn't have to continue the embarrassing topic just now.

"Try it and see if it tastes good." Mrs. Yuigahama looked at Yuigahama Yui with a smile.

Yuigahama Yui didn't think much about it, and gently picked up the soft and springy tofu covered with a layer of red coating with chopsticks and put it into her mouth: "Hmm...too, too delicious...this, water, I want to drink water, it's too spicy." (Sorry, this is not a food article, and I can't write the kind of shame in Food Wars! As expected, the author is still too innocent.)

Gudong gudong. After drinking a glass of water almost immediately, Yuigahama Yui let out a long sigh: "It's so spicy, but it's so delicious. It's really amazing. Mom, you haven't made it before. I didn't expect that your mapo tofu is so good." Yuigahama Yui gave a thumbs up to Mrs. Yuigahama.

"This is not made by mom, but by Hasegawa-kun. Mom didn't expect that Hasegawa-kun's cooking skills are so good." Mrs. Yuigahama said, as if she meant something.

"Hey? Hasegawa-kun can cook?" Yuigahama Yui was surprised.

"Not only can he cook, but he's also very good at it. Yui, you should also learn to cook well." Mrs. Yuigahama said to Yuigahama Yui seriously.

"Um, that, I will work hard." Yuigahama Yui lowered her head, feeling that her femininity was completely surpassed by Hasegawa Kenichi, feeling very embarrassed.

"Just know how to work hard. Hasegawa-kun's cooking skills are great. If you want to learn, you can find Hasegawa-kun. Hasegawa-kun, will this be too much trouble for you?" Mrs. Yuigahama said a little embarrassedly. She also knew that it was not good to do so, but on the one hand, Hasegawa Kenichi's cooking skills were indeed great, and on the other hand, she also wanted to give Yuigahama Yui and Hasegawa Kenichi more opportunities to be alone together.

"No, it's not a big deal. Cooking is actually quite simple. It should be said that it is easy to learn but difficult to master. If you just want to have an average level, it's easy to do." Hasegawa Kenichi said with a smile. It's not a difficult thing in itself, and it was Mrs. Yuigahama who asked him to do it, so Hasegawa Kenichi was not willing to refuse.

"That's good." Mrs. Yuigahama sighed: "Hasegawa-kun is so gentle and has such a good personality. Not only is he very reliable, but he also has such great cooking skills. Hasegawa-kun is really amazing."

"That's also very ordinary." Hasegawa Kenichi said modestly.

"Hasegawa-kun, don't say that. You are really very good. I just don't know that girl can be so lucky to become Hasegawa-kun's wife." Mrs. Yuigahama sighed meaningfully.

Hasegawa-kun couldn't help but jump in his heart when he heard Mrs. Yuigahama's words. Could it be that Mrs. Yuigahama-no, this is obviously impossible. Perhaps, this is just a casual remark by Mrs. Yuigahama.

Thinking of this, Hasegawa Kenichi smiled, lowered his head slightly, and didn't dare to look at Mrs. Yuigahama.

Mrs. Yuigahama looked at Hasegawa Kenichi who seemed a little shy, and then looked at Yuigahama Yui who was shocked, but she felt a little happy in her heart: Feeling shy about this kind of thing, could it be that Hasegawa really has a little interest in Yui?

Thinking so, Mrs. Yuigahama felt that what she was looking forward to was not that difficult.

"Okay, let's eat. If you don't eat, it will get cold."

"I'm going to start." The three said at the same time.

Hasegawa Kenichi didn't actually have this habit, but he didn't make himself look too special just because he saw Mrs. Yuigahama and her daughter doing it.

Yuigahama Yui and Mrs. Yuigahama seemed to be very interested in the dish of mapo tofu made by Hasegawa Kenichi. They ate it with rice and it seemed very fragrant. Even though it was a little spicy, it made them sweat a little on their noses and foreheads, but they still seemed to be eating very happily.

Hasegawa Kenichi smiled unconsciously when he saw Mrs. Yuigahama liking the Mapo Tofu she made so much.

Mrs. Yuigahama glanced at the smiling Hasegawa Kenichi casually, especially in the smile of Hasegawa Kenichi, there was a hint of happiness.

Mrs. Yuigahama couldn't help but think that the reason why Hasegawa Kenichi was like this was probably because the girl he liked liked the Mapo Tofu he made.

And the girl here was only her daughter. In other words--

Mrs. Yuigahama thought so, and the happier she was, the better her appetite was, and the more she thought this plate of Mapo Tofu was delicious, and she couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

And Hasegawa Kenichi felt happy inexplicably when he saw that Mrs. Yuigahama seemed to really like the Mapo Tofu he made.
