At mealtime, she came over to apologize on someone else's behalf. Was she really here to apologize, or to mooch a meal? Who would've thought that Utako Kasumi, who had even held autograph sessions, would rush over just to freeload... Writing novels really was a dead end. Luckily, he had gotten out in time.

Did this useless Imouto really think an Elite Ten graduate would have better cooking skills than
