Chapter 406 Coffee Machine and Cat

——Clatter, crash, crash.

Snap, snap.

Kato Yusuke slapped tap water on his face, letting the cold water seep into his pores, washing away the cleanser on his face and the last trace of sleepiness.

The time is 7:15 on Saturday morning.

While most of the students were still sleeping soundly, enjoying the happiness brought by the rest day, he had already gotten up.

Instead of being woken up by an alarm clock, wake up naturally.

Although he had no special arrangements, he had no intention of continuing to tug at the bed and quilt after opening his eyes, so he simply went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I returned to the living room.

He took out a bottle of iced oolong tea from the refrigerator in the kitchen and drank a few sips to wake up his body.

Then start preparing breakfast.

I took out the medium-sized bag of rice called "Sui Guang" from the cupboard, poured two cups into the rice cooker, and washed the rice under the faucet.

This is one of the specialties sent to him by Mina Motoyama from her hometown.

Different from the glutinous and sweet "Koshihikari rice" that is abundant in Fukui and Niigata prefectures, "Koshihikari" is a rice variety produced in Saitama Prefecture.

Because of its characteristics of soft yet hard, it is often used to make sushi. Although it is not as famous as the former, its taste is refreshing than "Koshihikari rice".

The reason why he uses this kind of rice to cook rice is not because he plans to make sushi, but because he simply eats what he has at home, nothing more.

Kato Yusuke washed the rice, added an appropriate amount of water, put the rice cooker's inner pot back into the pot, and pressed the cooking button.

The room was too quiet at this time, so I turned on the TV and switched to a music program channel at will.

As the beautiful music melody sounded in the room.

"Meow...~"

The black cat, who was lying on the bed with his back stretched out, was awakened by the sound of the TV. He couldn't help but stand up and yawned, and looked around with half-squinted eyes.

Kato Yusuke stood in front of the kitchen again, took out a small frying pan, and prepared to fry eggs.

Seeing this scene, Black Cat Bar chirped twice. After all, he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, so he stood up from the bed, shook his body from beginning to end, and then trotted all the way to the kitchen.

First he jumped on the counter, then he jumped on Yusuke's shoulder.

"Meow meow?"

The black cat meowed softly, stretching its neck and looking at the pot on the gas stove with interest in its eyes.

After all, since it came to this home, someone has basically never cooked alone. Usually, it either brings something delicious from outside, or the human who gives it Chikuwa food cooks.

So it can't help but be curious.

When it stepped on his shoulder, Kato Yusuke only made a slight movement, but after seeing that it did not cause any trouble, he ignored it and continued to fry eggs.

Pour a little cooking oil into the frying pan, turn on the heat, wait for the oil temperature to rise slowly, then take an egg, tap it on the edge of the counter, and break it into the pan.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

When the egg whites are slightly puffed up, use a spatula to turn them over.

Waited for a while.

Kato Yusuke took a plate and transferred the fried eggs from the pot.

I took out the pickled plums from the refrigerator, placed two of them next to the fried eggs, and randomly found some seaweed, preparing to eat them with rice later.

Although most people would use natto to go with it, because he doesn’t like it, he naturally won’t buy it.

After more than ten minutes, the rice in the rice cooker was ready.

Kato Yusuke served a dinner and ate it with prunes, seaweed and fried eggs.

He wanted to create the texture of a soft half-cooked egg yolk, but the time and heat seemed to be a little too much, making the egg yolk a bit old and completely lacking the flavor and texture that Sayu had done before.

However, the egg itself tastes good, and with the combination of prunes and seaweed, it tastes no worse than a convenience store sandwich when eaten with rice. It can be used as a seasoning.

Seeing that he was eating well, the black cat also meowed twice begging for food.

Kato Yusuke then started to get some bamboo wheels and canned cats for it.

One person and one cat spent a relatively leisurely time eating breakfast and watching TV.

After that, Kato Yusuke started finishing the manuscript of the second volume of the manga, while Black Cat was walking around the room.

Just like that, around ten o'clock in the morning, someone rang the doorbell.

Yusuke started to open the door, and a young man who looked young was standing outside.

"Hello, I am an employee of the post office. I have your express delivery here. Please sign for it."

The young man in work uniform picked up the box in his hand and handed him a pen.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but feel confused and said: "I haven't bought anything, you made a mistake."

"Huh?" The other party lowered his head to check the address and confirmed: "Aren't you Mr. Kato Yusuke from Room 201?"

"it's me."

"Then that's right. This is the address written above." The young man nodded affirmatively, "Please sign here."

When the address and name were correct, although Kato Yusuke was still deeply confused, he still took the pen and signed his name.

After moving the courier into the entrance, the young man left quickly.

And he was studying two boxes.

After thinking for a while, I decided to open the two boxes.

Inside is a coffee machine and a set of cat climbing frames.

From this point of view, the possibility of sending the wrong package becomes even smaller.

"Meow~?"

The vigilant black cat walked over slowly until then, stood next to the box and looked at it curiously.

Just when one person and one cat were thinking about these two things, the phone suddenly rang.

——Dingling bell~

"Senior Shiyu"

Pressing the answer button, the girl's somewhat distorted and lazy voice came over.

"Good morning, have you received the stuff?"

"...Shiba-senpai." Kato Yusuke glanced at the goods on the ground, gently pushed aside the cat that wanted to climb into the box with his feet, and asked: "You bought the coffee machine and the cat climbing frame.

?"

"Hmm~ It seems like you have received it, right?"

"How much, I will transfer it to you."

"That's a gift for you, otherwise wouldn't you be able to drink the coffee beans I gave you?"

"Gift?"

"Yes." Shiyu said casually with a hint of smile: "Isn't the new issue of "Undead" magazine about to be released? Congratulations on becoming a serial cartoonist ~ Yu-chan."

"Thank you." Kato Yusuke was silent for a moment, "Senior Shiu, is there any gift you want?"

"Oh? What this means is that you want to send me off~?"

"Reciprocity is a courtesy."

"Haha~ Although there is nothing I want to say, but~~~" the girl said with a long voice and a very pleasant tone.

"I do have something I want. For example, a fresh, cute, and strong male high school student. But do you have the guts to give it to me~~~?"

"...Human trafficking is illegal, senior." Kato Yusuke paused and changed the subject, "I mean things like commodities, such as cosmetics."

Shiyu was quiet for a moment, and then chuckled: "Haha~ do you think of me as one of those ugly girls who can't meet people without makeup, or BBA?"

"no."

"Hey, what does that mean~? Kato-san."

"I just want to return the gift."

"Huh huh~ Are you using cosmetics as a gift? It's not like I can't buy them myself~"

Kato Yusuke thought for a while and finally did not bring up the issue of the system's beauty cream, because the focus of the other party's words was not on that, and both parties knew it well.

Then he added: "It's not just gifts, if senior sister has any difficulties, I will also help."

"Well~ This sentence is a little more sincere than before, but only a little bit. To describe it specifically, it is probably cheap instant coffee and slightly more expensive instant coffee."

Shiyu made a wonderful metaphor, and then said: "Well, if you really have this intention, just think of it as owing me a condition."

"What conditions?"
