22. Neighbor 2

I place the salted shrimp on the net and grill it. It makes a sizzling sound and a fragrant scent.

“Woow, it smells delicious.”

My mother, who is already full, gives her impressions happily.

It actually smells good and makes me want to eat it as soon as possible.

When the scallops look like they're almost done, I add a small amount of butter and a few drops of soy sauce.

Again, the fragrant scent stimulates my appetite.

“It’s about time.”

Maria, who was watching the seafood condition, declares that.

Certainly the colour of the shrimp looks good and also looks very delicious.

“Itadakimasu~”

My mother happily takes the grilled shrimp, gets rid of the shell and bites it.

“Oh, the taste is great! The body has a nice texture and is also delicious!”

Then she drinks beer and eats again.

“Then, I’ll bring the rice, the steamed sea bream, and the sashimi.”

“Oh, bring some more beer too.”

My mother just asks for more and more.

It is an attitude that makes me think that she had forgotten that there is a guest.

Does she don’t mind it that much because the guest is our neighbour?

“Kikusui-san, Thank you very much, For giving something that looks so delicious like this.”

“Really, really, thank you.”

I said thank you again.

Since all the seafood I received was big and fresh.

“No, please don’t mind it too much.”

“Well, even though we got it from Kikusui-san, but still please eat more! .”

While being shy, I tried to say it with a bitter smile …

“Well! I’ll bring it every day if you really want it!”

“Haha, that’s bad.”

If possible, bring some meat as well. And if possible, an expensive one please.

Well, I won’t say it…

“Sorry for making you wait.”

Maria brought a clay pot from which the rice and the steamed sea bream was cooked in a tray, and a platter of sashimi.”

“Well, the rice and the steamed sea bream has come, so let’s eat it.”

“Yes! Itadakimasu.”

“If Maria has nothing to do anymore, then come and eat together.”

“Thank you very much. Then, let me eat together with you.”

Maria basically always eats together with us, but when there are guests, she tries to eat separately, but Kikusui-san is a neighbour, so it’s okay I guess.

“If you don’t come and join us fast, my mom will eat it all.”

“I'm not that big of an eater!”

“… Is there no more shrimp or scallops on the net?”


“Yeah, it’s gone, so I left a new one.”
