Start By Becoming A Mangaka

Yuuki had decided to stay overnight in Hitotose cafe and he would also stay in Kuina's room tonight. However, Kuina would stay together with Hinako rather than staying with him. He felt a bit of pity, but he couldn't help it. He had come out from the shower and wore clothes from Chiaki's father. It was just a normal white t-shirt, but it was enough for him.

"Are those clothes fit for you?" Chiaki asked.

"It's a bit bigger," Yuuki answered.

Chiaki nodded and said, "My father has a big belly."

"Oh, I can't wait to meet him," Yuuki said.

"He might kill you for stealing his daughter," Chiaki answered with a smile.

"...." Yuuki was speechless and hugged her. "Then it is better to steal her now since I might not see the next day." He picked her up and placed her on his shoulder.

"You rogue! Let me down!" Chiaki complained, but her mouth turned a curve in a smile.

They bickered to each other, but they stopped when they arrived in the cafe where everyone was waiting.

Sun-chan had decided to stay here too and would sleep together with Hinako later.

Kuina whose room had been stolen by Yuuki would sleep together with Mayuki and Chiaki also decided to join them too later since it was too lonely to sleep alone.

Yuuki was the only one alone and it felt a bit miserable when he was staying in the girl's dorm yet he couldn't do anything, but he was a gentleman and he wouldn't do anything that would hurt the girl unless they gave him permission. "Where is Mayuki?"

"She's cooking dinner," Hinako said.

Yuuki was a bit curious and asked, "What is dinner?"

"Curry!" Kuina answered cheerfully.

Yuuki looked at Kuina and knew that this girl would become very excited when they were talking about food. He was really considering whether he should give her his white syrup in the future.

"Have you remembered your song?" Sun-chan asked.

"Yes. You don't have to worry." Yuuki nodded and asked, "How about you? This is your first time to play in a drama, right? How are you feeling now?"

"Well... I am a bit nervous since it is my first time. I am afraid to make a mess during the play," Sun-chan said truthfully.

"Sun-chan. If you're nervous then I am more nervous than you," Hinako said.

"Hina-chan?"

"I - I am not good at talking and I have this problem to meet with new people, but because of everyone I - I can do a drama now and I want to show my mother tomorrow," Hinako said while looking at Yuuki. When she entered this town for the first time she was lost and she was too nervous to talk to anyone, but he was different and helped him patiently.

"Hina-chan! Let's make tomorrow's drama successful and show Hina-chan's mother of Hinako's progress!" Kuina said excitedly.

"O - Ohh!!!!"

Sun-chan smiled when she saw everyone who seemed to be very spirited for tomorrow's drama.

Chiaki didn't say anything, but she nodded with a smile looking at everyone's progress, especially Hinako. She had seen her from a very shy girl then turned into a superb actress step by step.

Yuuki looked at Chiaki who sat down beside him. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel like I am a mother who sees her childer start to grow up," Chiaki said emotionally.

"...." Yuuki was speechless then smiled looking at her. "Oh? You're a mother? I guess I am the father then."

"Is there a father who is going to marry his daughter?" Chiaki asked.

"......" Yuuki rubbed his nose and felt a bit weird when he heard Chiaki's words.

"Everyone the dinner is ready!" Mayuki said from the kitchen.

"I'll help," Kuina and Yuuki said at the same time.

"Come here and bring the pot of the curry to the table. I have cooked a lot of it," Mayuki said while looking at Yuuki.

"OK." Yuuki nodded.

"Kuu-chan, you can wait at the table," Mayuki said.

"Eh? I want to help!" Kuina said.

"But you'll empty the curry before everyone is eating!" Mayuki refused. She knew how big Kuina's stomach was and she was afraid this girl was going all of curry later.

Kuina pouted but didn't say anything again. She was quite docile when it was involved in food.

'Vegetable curry, huh?' Yuuki felt weird, but he didn't say anything.

"Yuuki. Did you hate vegetables?" Mayuki asked while teasing him.

Yuuki twitched his lips when he looked at Mayuki. He was the one who usually teased this girl, and it felt weird when this girl teased him instead. "Well, it's okay."

"You can't do that! If you hate vegetables then you can't grow them!" Mayuki reprimanded him.

Yuuki felt that this sentence was a bit weird, especially the one who had said it to him was someone who was two heads shorter than him. 'I can't grow up?' He thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't really like vegetables, but since it is your cooking then I want to try it."

Mayuki smiled sweetly and said, "If you can't eat it then I'll feed you." She thought to tease him only she didn't expect his answer.

"Really? Then feed me later," Yuuki said with a smile and brought the food to the table in the cafe. "Everyone the food is here."

"...." Mayuki's face was red and she wasn't sure what to do. She was really wondering whether she should feed him later. Her heart was complicated, but she felt tempted to do it.

"Mayu-chan, what's wrong?" Sun-chan asked.

"N - Nothing!" Mayuki answered bashfully. She looked at Yuuki who was sitting in between both Chiaki and Hinako and felt a bit lost. She sighed since she couldn't feed him the dinner.

"Mayuki, can you give me that cookie in front of your table?" Yuuki suddenly said.

"Huh?" Mayuki took the cookie absentmindedly then gave it to him. "Here."

Yuuki opened his mouth and ate the cookie directly from her hand while licking Mayuki's small fingers. His expression was a bit wild while saying, "Delicious."

"......"

Everyone turned red when they saw Yuuki's action.

"What the hell did you do bastard?!" Chiaki was angry.

"Calm down!"

Mayuki was very bashful and hung her head down, but her mouth turned into a curve showing a lovely smile even though no one saw it.
