I Don't Mind You Treating Me Like a Side Dish

There were so many things, so he helped carry them to her room before leaving.

Unlike Mai's mother, Yusho Sakura was not troublesome, Shuya did not deliberately avoid her.

Hyakka took out her key and opened the door.

Her home has a stylish design and looks very comfortable.

Shuya had been here a few times before, but hadn't come back since moving to Chiba. He glanced at it again, and the layout was still the same.

"I'm back."

"... Sorry to bother you."

Xiu, pulled back to his senses by Hyakka's voice Shuya spoke.

"Huh?"

Yusho Sakura came out of the living room and asked in surprise, "Are you going home today?"

"?"

Hyakka looked at her mother, puzzled.

"Cough cough."

Shuya cleared his throat twice. "Good evening, Miss Sonou."

Yusho Sakura said regretfully, "Good evening."

Shuya: "..."

It's no longer Yusho Sakura that she wants him to be her son-in-law.

Hyakka, however, hadn't considered that possibility.

Undeniably, she Shuya, but for now, she wants to focus on her work and put these romantic matters aside for the time being.

Shuya didn't know if Hyakka was truly unable to see anything at this moment.

It's often said that women are born to act, and as a renowned actress, her acting skills are truly exceptional.

"Hasn't Daddy come back yet?"

Hyakka asked when she saw that her father hadn't come out.

He's at work.

Yusho Sakura replied calmly.

That's just how it is in this line of work; everyone's used to it.

Shuya was like that when he was a child. Hanazawa Sakura and Inoue Hikoo often came home late, or even slept at the company—that's why he didn't notice they had moved back then.

Yes, none of it was his fault. (Fragmented statement)

"Hyakka, really, how could you let Shu-chan carry so much stuff?"

Yusho Sakura paused for a moment, then said, "Oh right, someone delivered a lot of things earlier, saying they were things you bought. Anyway, I put them in your room for you. You bought them, right?"

"Oh, yes."

The Hyakka nodded in agreement.

"That's good, I was worried I'd taken the wrong one. Um, don't stay in the entryway, go to your room to chat, I'll make some tea and get you some snacks."

Shuya was taken aback. "Ah, no, I just..."

"Alright, alright, Shu-chan rarely comes here, so let Hyakka entertain you for a while."

After Yusho Sakura finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.

Shuya: "?"

Hyakka: "?"

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This..."

Shuya really hadn't expected things to develop this way.

Letting a boy into your daughter's room so late at night... Ms. Yusho Sakura, something's really off about you.

At this point, Hyakka could no longer pretend. She tossed her hair, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Honestly, Mom is too impatient. I'm only a high school student."

Shuya said seriously, "I can understand your mother. A man as outstanding as me is someone you won't find again if you miss out."

"Get lost, you narcissist!"

Hyakka made a cute face at him.

But after he said that, all her little schemes vanished.

She readily agreed, "Since my mom has said so, you can stay for a while."

"Aren't you embarrassed if I see your room?"

"Huh? You're talking like you haven't seen it before."

While they were talking, Shuya had already followed Hyakka to her room.

Section 577, Chapter 537: I don't mind if you treat me as a side dish.

Shuya followed Hyakka up to the second floor and arrived at her room.

"Come in."

She pushed open the door, Shuya stepped into her room.

Hyakka's room is as lovely as she is.

Pink themes, plush toys of all sizes, and all sorts of cute little trinkets.

Shuya took a breath. "Is this the beautiful girl's room? It has a special fragrance."

"Ah? That's that, isn't it? The air freshener."

Hyakka pointed to the rose-colored bottle in the corner.

Shuya said, "No, no, I mean there's the scent of Hyakka -chan here."

"Huh? That's probably the smell of perfume or shower gel. Girls don't have a natural body odor."

Hyakka tilted her head and said.

Shuya was speechless. Your words shattered the dreams of so many young people.

He didn't discuss this topic with Hyakka again.

He saw many bags by the bed, so he put down the pile of things he was carrying.

As he put his things down, Hyakka said, "Please sit wherever you like, I'm going to change my clothes."

She opened the closet, found some clothes she wore at home, and was about to leave the room.

Before leaving, she turned back and said, "Oh, and don't go through my things."

"Ojbk."

Shuya naturally answered in the same way.

"... That's really suspicious."

The Hyakka began to bloom again.

She was 100% certain that Shuya rummage through things, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she had to come back quickly.

Things turned out exactly as she had predicted.

Shuya put his hands behind his back and inspected her room.

Besides the various cute decorations, the room also contains things related to studying that are essential for high school students.

Shuya glanced at these things and ignored them.

Then he saw a lot of work-related things, such as a whole bunch of scripts.

In addition, he saw many animation discs, music CDs, albums, and so on on a shelf.

He saw his own song among these CDs.

Not only does it include his newly released album, but also CDs or compilations of his character songs from over the years, and even the CD of Small Love Song released by Hanazawa Sakura back then.

Besides his CDs, there were also CDs related to Hyakka herself and Hanazawa Sakura on the shelf.

After looking through the CD section, Shuya continued to observe and saw figurines, posters, and other items.

Hyakka's room is a complete haven for shut-ins.

These things were probably mostly sent by the manufacturing company; Shuya's family has a lot of similar items.

He examined the bottom of each of the plastic figurines with great interest.

After looking at the plastic figurine, he found many more magazines nearby, some featuring her voice actress or anime, and others his family's fashion magazine.

... He also discovered the swimsuit photobook he had taken in place of Mai back then.

Shuya paused slightly, then picked it up with a somewhat subtle gesture.

He exclaimed, "How can I be so handsome?" Then he noticed that the photo album had been looked at many times.

He had mixed feelings.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Just then, Hyakka returned.

"..."

Shuya silently turned around.

Hyakka changed into a regular T-shirt and shorts.

She took off the white stockings she always wore, revealing her slender, beautiful legs. Shuya noticed that her hands and feet were a little wet, so she must have washed them.

They're quite clean.

Hyakka's squinting eyes immediately fell on the photobook in Shuya's hand.

"Wait, isn't that...?!"

The expression on her face was priceless.

"Don't worry about it, I don't mind if you treat me like a side dish."

Shuya thoughtfully tucked the photobook back into its place, acting as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't do anything like that! I was just looking!"

Hyakka expressed strong opposition.

"I understand."

You don't know anything.

Just as Hyakka and Shuya were exchanging glances, Yusho Sakura appeared.

"Hehe, you two take your time chatting."

With a meaningful smile, she placed the tea and snacks on the low table in the center of the room, and then quickly left the room, leaving the two of them alone.

"Your mom is so warm and welcoming."

"Now you know you need to be enthusiastic."

Hyakka pouted in dissatisfaction.

She would only say such things to a few people, like Shuya; she would keep them hidden from others.

Shuya laughed and said, "What are you being so stubborn about?"
