Spending a bit more time with Tomi

Once you are clean you decide to swing by the kitchen and check how Tomi is doing. She is good at her work, but has a bad tendency to overwork herself a bit because of her devotion to you, so it's a good idea to at least keep an eye on her.

When you arrive, you see she is cooking something nice to eat, and seems to be in high spirits, very happy to be working hard. You smile as you hug her from behind, startling her a bit before she realizes who you are and pushes into your hug happily.

"Looks delicious, Tomi", you comment as she relaxes, happily resting in your arms and leaving her work for a bit. She is a really sweet girl, even if she can be a bit strange in the way she expresses her affection for you.

"Thanks, Mark-chan! I made it just for you, you know", she said as she moved a bit, getting even more comfortable in your arms. It feels good to hold Tomi like this, especially when she is so openly enjoying it too.

"You're really sweet. How about I give you a special reward tonight for this lunch?", you ask as you softly stroke her hair. Upon hearing what you said, Tomi squeals in excitement, looking up at you with a big smile on her face.

"Really? A special reward? Oh, Mark-chan, you're too good for Tomi!", she says, her excitement fading a bit as she looks sad. Another thing that you learned from having her work for you is that she has some low self-esteem, though you plan on helping her with that.

"Nonsense, Tomi. You're sweet, beautiful and work hard every day", you her as she starts to blush from your compliments looking down, but nodding, accepting what you said, albeit a bit reluctantly. With that, you let go of her.

"Better make sure the food doesn't burn. But please make sure to not overwork yourself", you tell her, and she happily nods again, getting back to making the food as you wonder what you should be while waiting for her to finish it.
