Chapter 1 – I had an Matchmaking Date with a Wild and Handsome Guy!
For me, love is truly unreasonable.
He confessed his feelings to me first, but then during a busy work period, he started asking, “Which is more important to you, work or me?” What a ridiculous thing to say.
My response to such questions is always the same.
“Obviously, it’s work.”
I don’t understand why he immediately rejects me.
Well, that’s just the beginning.
“I can’t cook, is that okay?”
I’ve only dated guys who said it was fine, yet as soon as I cook, they disappear. What’s with that?
“Oh, the food you make isn’t food! It’s a military weapon! If aliens invade, you should entertain them with it! It’ll save the world in one shot!”
I don’t regret giving him a lariat in response.
I have no regrets.
One day, my father pleaded with me while kneeling down
What’s going on? I feel uneasy.
“Mikoto, I’m sorry! Please go on a matchmaking date!”
“A matchmaking date?”
“I know you’ll be rejected, but I’m asked to do this by an important business partner. Please, I’m begging you.”
“It’s kind of annoying, isn’t it?”
“The food at the hotel where the meeting will take place is amazing!”
“Okay, I’ll go!”
Currently, my way of relieving stress is eating delicious food.
If I think of it as going to eat rather than going on an arranged meeting, nothing could make me happier than a free meal.
So, I agreed to the arranged meeting.
Yep, it was a failure!
The man sitting in front of me was too good-looking.
If I eat too much and behave like a glutton, he’ll be put off…
“What are your hobbies, Mikoto?”
“It’s work.”
The good-looking man’s name is Aoi Kawakami.
He’s over 180 centimeters tall, with a small face and droopy eyes. He looks great in stylish suits.
Is he what they call a wild and sophisticated type?
No, maybe it’s more like having a scruffy beard on the chin? He has wild facial hair on his chin.
And yet, he looks neat.
It’s a mystery! Is he an attractive miracle?
“Your hobby is work; that’s so cool.”
This guy is quite smooth.
Doesn’t he even need an matchmaking date?
Actually, he surely has a girlfriend more feminine than me.
He was probably forced to come, just like me.
Well then, let’s enjoy the food.
I came to eat after all.
“What kind of work do you do?”
“I work in advertising planning and development. It’s fun to be involved with various things and people… This is delicious! Have you tried it?”
“…?”
“I really love to eat.”
“…then, do you cook or…”
“Ah, let me tell you this first. Apparently, the food I make is considered a military weapon. My brother said that. I won’t cook for the sake of the world! You’re not interested, right? I’m not one of those high-femininity girls.”
A surprised expression appeared on Kawakami’s face.
“Is it really that you don’t cook at all?”
“My specialty is cup noodles. Oh, and rice? Wash it, put in the water to the line, and press the button.”
“…”
“People who can cook are amazing! I admire them.”
Kawakami stayed silent for a while and then hesitated to ask.
“Mikoto, do you have any likes or dislikes when it comes to food?”
“Not particularly.”
“Then, what’s your favorite food?”
“Anything that’s delicious!”
Aoi Kawakami remained silent for a while and then asked hesitantly,
“What would you think if I told you that your cooking was bad and I put it back in the pot to redo it?”
“I’d think you were a god.”
“Huh?”
“Didn’t I say my cooking was military-grade weaponry? If you can turn military-grade weaponry into something edible, what else could it be but a divine feat?”
“Normally, people would say it’s terrible or that I’m a devil…”
After that, Aoi Kawakami talked a lot about food.
Since I also love eating, the conversation blossomed, and I ended up talking a lot without feeling uncomfortable. But I probably talked a lot because I knew I wouldn’t see him again.
I was happy with the enjoyable conversation with the handsome man and the delicious food.
I never expected him to say he wanted to meet again
