203 – Plain
I took out the canned mackerel and other ingredients from the fridge to make hamburgers, except for the eggs.
Bread crumbs, cooking oil, starch, salt, pepper, etc.
It wasn’t too difficult to make.
Put finely chopped onion, bread crumbs, and egg wash in a bowl and mix.
And the mackerel in the canned mackerel, which will replace the meat, is squeezed tightly by hand to remove the oil, then crushed finely and added to the mixture of onion, bread crumbs, and egg wash.
The key to seasoning is to lightly sprinkle salt and pepper and knead the meat until it becomes sticky.
After that, shape it like a normal hamburger and bake it in a pre-heated frying pan.
Cheey!
A hamburger that starts to sizzle when it comes in contact with oil.
It’s the first time I’ve tried this food, but once I looked at it, it looked okay.
Since it is a hamburger made with fish instead of meat, the oil was completely squeezed out to get rid of any fishy smell. Perhaps thanks to that, only the unique savory smell of the protein as it cooks vibrated in the kitchen.
While the hamburger was being prepared, I made a simple sauce using ketchup, soy sauce, and mirin.
The reason why ketchup was used here was that the unique sour taste might catch the fishy taste well, but it also contained a lot of sugar, so it was easy to produce a sweet taste that children liked.
If you transfer the cooked hamburger to a plate and sprinkle the prepared hamburger sauce on top, the cartoon style mackerel hamburger is complete.
‘Let’s taste it.’
Anyway, since this is the first food I’ve ever made, I was a bit reluctant to serve it right away.
I used chopsticks instead of a fork and cut the finished mackerel hamburger into bite-size pieces.
Slurr!
Maybe it was a hamburger made with mackerel, but there was a difference in texture from normal hamburgers.
Dip the sauce carefully so as not to break it and transfer it to your mouth.
Sum-
“……!”
My eyes are wide open without even realizing it.
I could say that this is very similar to the taste of a normal hamburger.
Convinced by the taste, I called out to Ayase’s younger brother, who was staring at me from the living room side with excited eyes.
“Ah- try it.”
Then Ayase’s little brother opened his little mouth wide, like a baby bird being fed by a mother bird.
I dropped a piece of hamburger on it, chewed it up and gave it a thumbs up! And raised it up.
“Delicious!”
“Okay. Then, can you and your brother prepare some tableware? I’ll make fried rice right away.”
“Yes!”
Ayase’s younger brother runs to the living room to call her younger brother.
I looked at that figure and started preparing vegetables to make fried rice, a request I received from her sister earlier.

“”Good meal!””
“Yes.”
When the two siblings say that they ate well, they smile happily and nod their heads.
There was quite a lot of dishes to wash because we were cooking a lot of food at once, but I hope the two of us enjoyed it.
I put the empty bowl in the sink, put the freshly made hot vegetable porridge on a tray, and went upstairs.
Smart!
I knocked just in case, but no sound was heard from inside the room.
When I carefully opened the door and went in, Ayase was lying on the bed and was sleeping with a choked breathing.
Since I’m sleeping well, I can’t force myself to wake up, so I approached the desk with cautious steps, thinking that I should just leave the tray of porridge behind.
Click!
It was time to quietly put down the tray and turn around.
“…What are you doing?”
I turned my head in amazement at the voice of Ayase, who seemed to have just opened her eyes.
“No, I was going to leave this alone.”
“It’s okay, give it to me.”
As she requested, I took the tray of porridge to the bedside.
Collock! Coke!
Still coughing, she stood up and asked me.
“Your younger siblings?”
“I’m eating dinner and hanging out in the living room. You don’t have to worry.”
“Thank you.”
“As I said before, this is not a big deal. So, think about getting your body healthy.”
I said that and handed the tray to Ayase.
“Do you have the energy left to hold the spoon?”
“Of course. What do you see me as?”
She opened the lid of her saucepan, scooped the vegetable porridge inside her, and put it into her mouth.
“hehehehe!”
It must have been hot, the eyes that instantly widened.
I hurriedly poured water and handed it over.
Ayase neutralized her heat by drinking water right away.
“Be careful.”
When I said that, Ayase, who looked at me resentfully with tears in her eyes, began to eat as she blew to death.
Since the amount was not that large, she finished the bowl in an instant and seemed to live a little longer, she asked as she wiped the sweaty nape of her neck with a towel.
“So when are you planning to go? I think mom will be back soon too.”
“I’m thinking of going home soon. I’ve been there for quite some time.”
After I answered that and stood up with the empty tray, Ayase hurriedly reached out her hand.
“Oh, wait.”
“Why?”
“Can I ask you for one thing?”
“What?”
When I asked a curious question, Ayase seemed to find it difficult to answer right away.
“Could you wipe her back? The other places are fine, but I can’t reach her back.”
“…The back?”
I was instantly turned into ice at her unexpected request.
Did you usually make a friend of the opposite s*x do that?
Ayase shook her hand with a puzzled look and said, as if my expression showed my thoughts.
“That’s not what I’m asking for in that sense! It’s because I think I’ll catch a cold if I ask my younger siblings for no reason!”
“Well…if it’s like that.”
After I vaguely agreed, she handed me a towel soaked in water in a basin.
“Can you turn around for a moment?”
“Yes.”
I obediently turned around as she asked.
Crush! Rustle!
The sound of a soft cloth rubbing against your skin.
“You can turn around now.”
After getting her permission, she turned around and saw an amazing view unfolding before her eyes.
Maybe she even took off her bra, or it was because Ayase, who had her bare back exposed, was staring at her against the wall with her shoulders shrunken.
“Papa, do it quickly.”
From noble mtl dot com
I hesitated for a moment at her shy girl-like appearance, which is unimaginable when I think of her normally, but then I started wiping her back with her wet towel.
“Sobbing!”
Her shoulders trembled startled, perhaps because a cold object suddenly touched them.
I thought I got used to women’s nudes by seeing the president’s naked body, but it doesn’t seem like that.
The wet towel that touches the spine comes down along the spine and wipes just above the buttocks.
‘Good thoughts, good thoughts.’
Ayase trusted me, her friend, and showed her bare skin. She didn’t want to be misunderstood, so she silently recited her heart sutra and wiped her sweaty back with a towel. .
After taking one such small scan, I immediately turned around and said:
“It’s over.”
“That’s right?”
This situation was awkward for Ayase as well, so she picked up the clothes she had taken off and started putting them on.
After that awkward time passed, she returned to her original clothes and spoke to me with her cheeks slightly reddened, perhaps from the heat of a cold.
“Thank you so much for today. Thanks to you, I was relieved.”
“What. Between friends, this much can be enough.”
When I said that and shook her modesty, Ayase asked with her slightly tired face.
“Then are you going back soon? I don’t think I’ll be able to see you off because my body is like this.”
“It’s okay. Your body needs to be healthy first.”
When I said that and stood up with the tray, she yawned.
“Then…I’ll close my eyes for a bit.”
“Okay. Get some rest.”
After hearing my words, Ayase nodded her head and lay down on the bed again. I confirmed that and quietly closed the door and left.
‘I hope you get well soon.’
Today I have to wash the dishes, but I have to go home.
***
Satsuki Ayase is an ordinary high school girl.
Her family includes her single mother and two younger siblings who attend elementary school.
Her father died in a car accident when she was in her second year of elementary school, so her mother was the sole breadwinner for her family.
Thanks to that, her childhood home was not wealthy.
You wouldn’t know if you had one child, but if you have three, of course the money goes into several times.
Her mother, an editor at a small magazine, worked day and night to earn money to feed her three siblings.
Naturally, it was her eldest daughter, Ayase, who acted as guardian to her two younger siblings while her mother was away from home, which allowed her to grow up early in her prime years.
It was in middle school that she started her first part-time job.
Unlike now, she wasn’t an honor student, so she moved from one part-time job to another in hopes of contributing to her family situation.
Of course, because I worked by cheating on my age, sometimes things like part-time job payments were delayed, but I was still satisfied with the fact that I was earning money.
But when she neglected her studies because of that, her mother found out that Ayase secretly had a part-time job, and after she had a big fight in her second year, she couldn’t do anything at home. I was looking for a side job.
That’s how I found out about the job of being a YouTuber.
Unlike other part-time jobs that require hard work, she can earn money simply by talking and posting videos of her playing games.
Of course, the money earned from that was meager at best, but for a middle school student who received 1,000 yen for a week’s pocket money, even that was quite a lot of money.
At first, she started in a poor environment without even proper broadcasting equipment, but her company, which recognized her talent early on, suggested that she try a virtual YouTuber, and her surroundings greatly changed. Has changed
