Chapter 178. [I Want Your Miso Soup Every Day]

<<Wow, this is delicious! I can’t believe your cooking skills have improved this much in just one week.>>

<<Well, it’s nothing.>>ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

I swallowed my words.

Who does he think I’ve gotten better for?

<<I could eat this every day. ...No, ‘Make miso soup for me every day’!>>

<<Making Japanese food right now is impossible. Cooking rice takes time.>>

<<That’s not what I meant, right?! It’s a Japanese ‘proposal’ expression!>>

<<Yeah, yeah. Huhuhu.>>

<<Come on, you could get more excited about it!>>

Angu Ogu sulked, still holding a fork in his mouth.

I casually brushed off her gaze.

<<Anyway, isn’t housework supposed to be on a rotating schedule?>>

<<Huh!? Iroha does it proactively, so I...>>

<<Well, it’s fine. I don’t mind because I work while watching videos, so it’s not that bad.>>

Specifically, I’m watching cooking lessons by VTubers while working. Honestly, I used to be pretty rough with my cooking, and I thought that was good enough.

It might be an excuse for people who rarely cook.

<<And, you say it’s delicious, Angu Ogu... Well, it’s nothing.>>

<<Hey, Iroha, what were you going to say just now? Come on>>

<<You’re persistent. I was going to say that Angu Ogu’s cooking is no good.>>

<<It’s not that bad, is it!?>>

Angu Ogu’s cooking is hearty and simple.

Or rather... yeah.

If I list the menus she has made in the past week, it’s just steak, or rather, just grilled meat.

Then, instant mashed potatoes, are made by mixing water with powder. There are also green peas.

It’s more like an ingredients than a meal.

The rest is all retort food, junk food, and snacks.

<<If I leave it to Angu Ogu, the nutritional balance will be terrible.>>

<<Potatoes are vegetables, and ketchup is also a vegetable, you know?>>

<<I just can’t understand that American way of thinking. I think it’s a no-no!>>

Angu Ogu protests, saying it’s an imposition of values.

<<True. Here, most restaurants are closed on Sundays.>>

That was one of the things that surprised me when I started living here.

In America, most restaurants and supermarkets are closed on Sundays.

In Japan, it’s the opposite; Sundays are a busy time.

But I can understand their reasoning.

<<Sunday is a ‘day off,’ after all. Even the employees get a day off.>>

So, if you inadvertently run out of groceries, you’ll have nothing to eat.

We just went shopping for the second time yesterday.

But it looks like going shopping together once a week is becoming a habit.

On the flip side, we hardly go out otherwise!

Sightseeing?

I’d only go if there were VTubers there!

<<By the way, Iroha. I’ve been living here for a week, and... I’ve reached my limit!>>

<<Huh? Is there something you’re so dissatisfied with?>>

<<Of course there is!>>

I swallowed nervously.

Angu Ogu was furious.

I thought we were getting along quite well with our shared living arrangements.

What could have gone wrong?

<<Iroha... let’s renovate the bathroom! I can’t stand these baths and toilets anymore!>>

<<Huh, that’s the source of your dissatisfaction? And shouldn’t it be the other way around, with me, the Japanese one, complaining first?>>

Well, I can understand the sentiment.

I do occasionally wish I could relax in a bath.

Back home, I had waterproof speakers, and I used to watch streams while taking a long bath.

I turned the bathroom into a theater.

Also, a washlet would be nice.

VTubers don’t need to use the toilet (various opinions on this)!

<<So, Iroha. Let’s renovate the bathroom!>>

<<What!? Wait a minute, why are you talking about renovations all of a sudden?>>

Honestly, I didn’t expect them to suggest something that drastic. Besides, this is a rental apartment!
