Volume 1 Chapter 3.2 - Shimizu-sans Bentō
Shimizu-san’s Bentō 2
I sighed in my mind and started to explain to Ai.
“Well, you mean Kei wants to show off her cooking skills to the boy who took care of her? And for that purpose, she wants to make a bentō and give it to him.”
“That’s about it in a nutshell.”
After a few minutes of explanation, I succeeded in conveying my purpose while hiding Hondō’s name and some of the past events.
“That’s okay, isn’t it? Why don’t you give it a try? “
“Didn’t you say [why all of a sudden?] earlier?”
“You said it was because you suddenly got a bentō from a boy, right? It would have a very different meaning if Kei had told me something like this earlier.”
“What’s the difference?”
“A handmade bentō from a girl is a boy’s dream! It’s the kind of thing they want to get at any cost! “
“Is that so?”
I think Matsuoka said something like that, but I can’t quite figure it out why.
