"Didn't I say it? You 'owe' me a condition, which means I haven't thought about it yet. How about it?"

"...will it be difficult?"

"Well, basically everyone has different definitions and opinions on 'difficulty', right? Why don't you first tell us what you mean by 'difficulty'?"

The girl's voice was smiling, and even through the phone, she seemed to be able to see the slender legs crossed together, as well as the toes wrapped in black stockings with their bare toes faintly exposed.

"..."

Kato Yusuke was lost in thought, and the other party did not rush him, just waiting for his answer casually, with a calm attitude full of leisure.

It took about seven or eight seconds before he responded.

"...if I can do it."

"Hmm~~? Why do you feel like you are warning me not to make excessive demands?"

Shiyu said with a half-smile: "But you don't have to worry so much. This kind of thing is more about the mind, and the result is not that important.

Even if you don’t want to do it after hearing the conditions, it doesn’t matter. It’s just your wish anyway, and I won’t force you. After all, it’s just your wish, right?”

I emphasized it several times in a calm tone, seemingly inadvertently.

"..."

Kato Yusuke rubbed his eyebrows, pushed the black cat to the side again, who wanted to get into the box, and whispered back, "I know."

After that, the two chatted for a while about novels and comics. When everything was almost finished, Yusuke was ready to say goodbye and end the conversation.

And Shiyu seemed to be remembering something again, mentioning something.

"By the way~ I forgot to tell you, the fourth volume of "Metronome of Love" is on sale today. If you are interested, you can buy a copy and read it. If you are not interested, don't use it."

Although the speaker can speak casually, the listener cannot be casual.

"I know." Kato Yusuke said, "I'll go and see it."

"Well, then that's it, bye, Yuu-chan~"

"Goodbye, Shiyu-senpai."

--beep.

The two said goodbye to each other and ended the call.

Kato Yusuke put away his cell phone, looked at the black cat who was holding his foot and biting it in revenge, picked it up by the neck and put it aside, then walked into the house with the box in his arms.

First, I freed up a corner of the cupboard and placed the coffee machine on it, and then I observed the situation in the living room.

After thinking about it for a while.

Kato Yusuke decided to install the cat climbing frame at the corner leading to the balcony, so that it would be more comfortable to bask in the sun.

Just do it if you think of it.

After sorting out the parts of the cat climbing frame and assembling the various parts together, it feels a bit like playing with Gunpla or assembling a battleship...

What Shiyu bought is a tree-shaped cat climbing frame that can be raised and lowered freely, with several self-adjustable platforms in the middle. It is a more luxurious version, and the overall weight is not light when assembled.

Set the chassis in the appropriate position.

Kato Yusuke pulled a swivel chair, stepped on it, and used tools to turn the screws so that the suction cups at the top supported the ceiling. This way, there would be no accidental overturning.

Step aside after installation is complete.

The dark brown cat climbing frame looks similar to a floor-standing clothes rack. It brings a layer of warm light under the sunlight, visually creating a feeling suitable for taking a nap.

"Meow~~"

The black cat, who had been observing for a long time, twisted its buttocks, jumped on its limbs, and climbed up around the platform on the main trunk without any instructions. Finally, it lay down in the top cloth bag and squinted its eyes at the window.

The sun was shining.

Kato Yusuke ignored it, turned and walked to the kitchen, and began to study the coffee machine.

The coffee machine consists of two parts, one is the machine body, and the other is a set of tools used to press the powder.

I studied the instructions for a while.

Find the coffee beans that the girl gave you earlier from the cupboard, open them and pour them into the grinder.

Kato Yusuke connected the machine to the power supply and turned on the grinding switch.

——Buzz.

Kalong kalong, kali kala.

Amidst the hum of the machine, the coffee beans that were just put in were quickly ground into powder.

Follow the steps in the instructions.

Place the powder container on the stainless steel filter filled with coffee powder, rotate it a few times to spread the powder, and then use a powder hammer to compact the powder.

Add purified water to the water tank of the machine, turn on the extraction button and let the water run for a few seconds for internal cleaning, then turn it off.

Kato Yusuke grabbed the handle, stuck the filter on the machine, placed a cup underneath, and started the official extraction.

After pressing the button, a small amount of water flows into the filter, gradually extracting the coffee powder into liquid at a slow and even speed.

The aroma of coffee slowly spreads.

The whole process took about a little over two minutes.

Kato Yusuke didn't stop the machine until the cup was about seven-quarters full.

The coffee in the cup is black, with a little dark brown in it, and a slightly greasy feel on the surface.

Turn off the power of the machine, take the cup in your hand, and bring it to your mouth.

A stronger aroma of coffee than before filled my nose.

Took a little sip.

The strong and thick bitter flavor overflows in the mouth, and the taste has a little sourness in the aftertaste, which slightly stimulates the brain.

It tastes like traditional black coffee, with no other taste except bitterness, which is also the kind that girls like.

Compared with the canned coffee sold outside, hand-brewed coffee is more powerful.

Frankly speaking, it's not very tasty, but that's what black coffee is.

Kato Yusuke turned around, leaned his back against the edge of the counter, put one hand on the counter, and drank slowly.

After the initial discomfort, the bitter taste began to slowly become lighter and softer.

The complex process will make the coffee delicious, because it adds your own efforts and has cost effects, so it will beautify it subconsciously.

While drinking coffee, I looked at the cat climbing frame.

Watching the black cat snoozing comfortably in the sun, he looked very happy.

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but thought about it aimlessly.

Although I obviously don't have a good relationship with cats, and I can't say I like cats, I still sent a cat climbing frame. This kind of subtle consideration is also very characteristic of the other party's style.

Thinking of this, a little complexity appeared in the deep black eyes.

"What do you mean..."

Low murmurs echoed in the room...
