The Top Idol Next Door Can't Help But Crave My Guilty Pleasure Meals-Chapter 5Volume 2 .3 - Geez, I cant take it anymore...♥

ROUND 5 – Geez, I can’t take it anymore…♥ 3

Under her skirt, she’s wearing safety shorts.

“Of course, an idol must take precautions against panty shots, right?”

“…Just because it’s not visible doesn’t mean it’s okay.”

I had always thought this, but Yuzuki should soon learn that the ‘safe if it’s not underwear theory’ doesn’t work on guys.

“Besides, my legs are the crystallization of my effort. I never skip my daily strength training and running to maintain the sharpness of my dance moves. I’m not training in a way that would embarrass me if someone saw.”

I summon a memory I had sealed away. Previously, claiming to ‘recreate a photo book’, Yuzuki changed into a swimsuit right in front of me.

At that time, it wasn’t just the top but also the bottom that was daring, and the memory of her toned lower body was etched into my mind.

“If you want, I don’t mind if you look closer?”

A challenging gaze locked onto me.

She might just be teasing, assuming that I wouldn’t engage in such jokes.

If it’s a sign of trust, I’m happy.

However, I am a man. I’m not saintly enough to remain in a state of emptiness when a girl I like is lying down in a provocative pose right in front of me.

…Also, Yuzuki’s ears had turned red without me noticing.

She had returned to her senses and seemed to be embarrassed by her own words.

“If you’re going to be embarrassed, you shouldn’t do it in the first place.”

“…Grr.”

Finally, Yuzuki sat up and straightened her disheveled skirt. Then she took a sip of her hojicha tea and let out a sigh.

“Ahh, that’s calming…”

“The theanine and pyrazine in hojicha have relaxing effects. Plus, I think it goes perfectly with today’s lunch?”

I placed a bento box I had taken out of my bag next to the tea.

“…Why are you trying to win me over with food as if it’s the most natural thing in the world?”

Emoto-san’s prepared dishes are mainly side dishes. That means the main staple is lacking.

We’re alone in a private room within the school, out of her sight. Such an opportunity is rare.

I had already informed Yuzuki that she didn’t need to bring any staple food today.

“Unfortunately, I don’t need rice or bread. I’m fine with just the side dishes Ruru-san made for me… Ah.”

There’s nothing else to be seen in this traditional etiquette room aside from the built-in furniture, dishes, and the bag I brought.

“I left my bag in the classroom…”

I felt as if two horns were sprouting from my head.

“…Oh? I see. Did you forget Emoto-san’s homemade dishes because you were longing for my cooking?”

“No, you’re wrong. Seriously, it really wasn’t on purpose.”

“Alright, alright, no need to be so defensive. I understand.”

“I told you, I…!”

Before she could reply, I opened the lid of the bento box.

Yuzuki’s eyes widened at the contents.

“Is this… onigiri?”

“Similar but not the same.”

They are called “onigirazu” rather than “onigiri.”

They only started to gain attention in the late Heisei period, but they were actually born around 1990. They were introduced in a cooking manga serialized in a youth magazine.

As the name suggests, onigiri are characterized by their “grip” shape, such as triangles or barrel shapes. Therefore, onigirazu means “onigiri without the grip.”

They are simply wrapped with rice and seaweed, making them super easy to make.

Furthermore, they have a square shape with a larger surface area, allowing for larger fillings to be stuffed in. You can even sandwich a big piece of meat like a hamburger or a whole slice of fish, making it truly a dream vessel!

“By the way, have you ever eaten onigirazu?”

Yuzuki shakes her head from side to side.

“Normal onigiri usually have fillings like umeboshi, kombu, or tuna as the standard. Right, typically, there’s only one type of filling. But onigirazu is not limited to that.”

There are three onigirazu in the bento box, cut in half so that the contents can be clearly seen.

“First up is the classic 『Niku Tamago (meat and eggs)』. It’s a dish with a satisfying volume featuring pan-fried luncheon meat and a thick omelette combined together. The moment you bite into it, the delicious flavor rushes into your mouth like a torrent.”

“…W-well, it’s not like luncheon meat and thick omelette wouldn’t go well with white rice.”

“The one in the middle is 『Saba Tatsuta (Mackerel)』. It’s a sandwich with deep-fried mackerel and lettuce. Spread it with a special lemon tartar sauce, and you can enjoy a refreshing yet juicy taste. The Tatsuta-age is also seasoned with soy sauce and garlic, so it’s delicious even on its own.”

“…It’s plump and meaty. Tatsuta-age (Cooking technique) usually means chicken or tuna, but this one’s mackerel…”

“Last is the 『Teriyaki Mayo Chicken』. Just as the name suggests, it’s a sandwich with chicken thigh meat stir-fried in a sweet teriyaki sauce and generously slathered with mayonnaise. In addition, there’s also a soft-boiled fried egg tucked inside. Once the runny yolk melds with the chicken… well, you know the rest.”

“…That’s not fair.”

“Hm?”

“It’s just not fair! Meat, fish, fried food, teriyaki, it’s an all-star lineup! It’s not just a staple food, it’s a full meal with sides!”

Heh.

Did you think I would quietly play the assistant and give you a moral meal?

I’m always aiming to sink Yuzuki into the swamp of immorality.

“I’m confident in all of them, but my top recommendation would be the classic ‘meat and egg’. Personally, I think luncheon meat tastes best when eaten with onigirazu.”

As Yuzuki also said, white rice, meat, and eggs are the strongest trio for lunch.

It’s what you’d call the “this is exactly what I want” kind of thing.

Luncheon meat is a type of sausage made from ground beef or pork with spices added and cooked. Its firm yet tender texture and rich flavoring are perfect with white rice.

The thick omelette is, of course, homemade. Carefully layered with an egg mixture containing broth and sugar, it’s finished fluffy and soft.

I tried a little taste while cooking, and it melted tenderly as soon as it entered my mouth, leaving only the umami on my tongue.

Without a doubt, it was the best omelette ever made.

Yuzuki, don’t think you can escape without trying this.
