What's next?

Delicious dinner

The first bell was when she made an unusually delicious dinner, and closer in the Japanese manner. You rounded your eyes in surprise, for she was not strong in cooking, and sometimes you helped her with it. She in turn, standing in her apron, clearly feeling like the queen of the kitchen, hands invited you to the table.

The table was rich, as if it were some kind of holiday, baked fish in foil, boiled rice, cabbage and seaweed salads. Lots of sour and spicy snacks, even soy sauce appeared on your table. You rubbed your hands together in anticipation. You sat down next to each other, and she picked up chopsticks for some reason, because she can't eat.

"Kate, you've outdone yourself today!"

She already had the always angry look on her face that you were used to, but now she put away the chopsticks she usually never ate with and looked at you earnestly with angry incomprehension.

"What?" - you were a little taken aback and looked at Kate.

Suddenly she threw the chopstick at you. And it hit you right in the forehead.

"Ow! Kate! Stop!"

She swung and threw a second one, which you dodged.

"Ow! What's wrong!? Kagome!"

After these words, her sudden act of aggression stopped, and she put her foot on her leg and crossed her arms over her chest and began to watch you. Your appetite waned a little. She spread her hands and pointed to your table. Choosing your words, you cautiously asked.

"Are you all right? Nothing hurts? Kagome..."

She sat still for a while, then she exhaled wearily and gestured apologetically. She stood up and picked up the chopsticks from the floor. As she passed you, she held out her little finger and jerked it in front of your face. You were a little wary of bringing your little finger to hers. She took the initiative and joined her finger to yours first. You shook them to an imaginary counting of friendship after which she took the seat opposite you again.

Suppressing your emotions after this strange incident, you began to eat the food she had cooked.

"She did it for me after all..."

After the first bite you seemed to brighten up. You looked at her with frantic eyes.

"I've never eaten anything like this before! How did you...?"

She looked away, and you could just feel her snorting at that moment. And that demonstrative look, you were beginning to worry, but continued as if nothing had happened.

"This is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten! Thank you...! Kagome," you said her name after a short pause.

She didn't move and just looked away. But if you analyze her character from the game, maybe she was embarrassed now. But you had no reason to think that way, maybe she was just playing with you, in response to you calling her Kagome. Nevertheless you did have a very nice dinner, she cleaned the table after you as usual and went to wash the dishes. When you offered to help her, she bluntly declined.
