Reincarnation of Villainess Noble Lady (Ch. 143-299)

REIKA-SAMA -184

Thanks to my big lying mouth I now had a sword above my head.

And I put it there!

When are you going to learn your lesson already, Reika!?

Do you have the brain of a goldfish or something!?

I immediately sent Akimi-san an SOS.

I obviously couldn't bring homemade nimono to his party.

To begin with I couldn't cook nimono!

And to think that just a few days after picking home cooking over party foods I'd need to know how to cook party foods.

Haah, I'm so beat~

Enjou spoke to me first thing next morning.

"Yukino tells me that apparently you're going to be coming to his birthday party. And with your own cooking no less."

Uuu...

Yukino-kun, have you already told your whole family?

My escape was looking less and less likely.

"Yes... But bringing poor food on such an important day feels like an insult instead of a gift, so I was thinking of declining this time..."

"Yukino was ecstatic, you know. Apparently he's already looking forward to it."

"I..."

Yukino-kuuuun...

I felt like I was going to lose my eyebrows over the pressure again.

"It's not that big of a party since we have to take care of his condition too. It'll just be a few of his friends from primary, so don't worry so much. Well, I won't force you though," he said as he glanced at my fingers.

Don't tell me he could tell my skill?

I didn't want to disappoint Yukino-kun by refusing.

But I didn't want to disappoint him with my actual cooking either.

Akimi-san, save me.

You're my only hope, Akimi-san!

I'll practice cutting vegetables every day!

I'll even memorise all the recipes so please, lend me your strength!

Still...

"Please at least tell him not to expect too much..."

'Food-Poisoning at the Enjou Residence!'

I'd do my best not to make that headline a reality.

After school, Class Rep and I were headed for the staff room to submit the reports our classmates did.

Apparently Class Rep had gone with the other three for their New Year's shrine visit.

"We all got our fortunes and wrote our wishes on ema," he bashfully told me.
