During dinner prep time, Shirakawa Sawahei eventually didn't use the opportunity to tease the Little Arrogant. He used the ingredients from the restaurant and simply prepared them, then borrowed a small hotpot.
It was already past the dining hours for travelers, so the few people in the restaurant were scattered with no interaction. Sitting by the window, Shirakawa Sawahei lit a solid alcohol fuel, and the blue flame rose, gradually spreading warmth.
"It's snowing again."
"Isn't it nice to eat hotpot on a snowy day?"
"But waiting for the hotpot isn't nice." Miss Kaori said softly, looking at the swirling snow outside the restaurant window, "I thought I could eat soon."
"Are you hungry?"
"Yeah."
"Then just wait a little longer." Shirakawa Sawahei replied while preparing the hotpot base, "The essence of hotpot is also in the waiting."
As the heat rose, Shirakawa Sawahei counted the ingredients and suddenly laughed, "Hayakawa, you don't eat much, right?"
