The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 51

That’s a Difficult Question

Reika, with an expression full of curiosity, waited for my answer.

Seeing Reika’s face so adorable like that made me want to tease her just a little.

“Umm, let’s see…”

“…..”

“As for which one was the most delicious…”

“…..!”

“They were all tasty…”

“…..!!!”

“If you ask me which was the best, it’s hard to say since they were all delicious.”

“Come on!! Hurry up and say it!! You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you!?”

As I deliberately prolonged deciding which was the most delicious, Reika pouted and protested with a slight blush on her face.

“Wow, Reika, you’re really cute.”

“C-cute…?! No stop!! You can’t fool me with words like that!!”

Seeing Reika like that, I thought she was cute and, without realizing it, I let those feelings slip out.

Reika, not missing a beat, blushed even more and began to hit me lightly in protest, yet I could see her trying to hide a grin, making me think she was so cute all over again.

Is this the endless hell, or perhaps an infinite loop, of finding Reika cute?

At this rate, I’ll surely fall head over heels for Reika as a member of the opposite sex.

But why am I so stubbornly refusing to admit that I like Reika?

Now that I think about it, it feels like I’m rejecting her for some trivial reason.

As I thought this, a part of me started questioning, ‘Isn’t it okay to just like Reika? Would anything bad happen if I did? Probably not, right?’

“So… which one did you find delicious? Just tell me already.”

“Ah, sorry-sorry. Honestly, they were all delicious, and it’s hard to choose, but if I had to pick a favorite… maybe it would be the stuffed bell peppers.”

“Got it!! From now on, I’ll make sure every side dish is stuffed bell peppers!!”

“No, seriously, I don’t want to have stuffed bell peppers as a side dish every time. I’d get tired of it. Maybe just once a week, and only a couple of them.”

“I see… I get it.”

“By the way, I’ll be making a lunchbox for Reika tomorrow. Do you have any foods you dislike?”

“If Master is making it, even the kitchen scraps from when Master prepares the lunchbox would be the best lunchbox for me, so that’s a difficult question.”
