"...delicious"
The homemade cookies that Hime gave me were even more delicious than I expected, and I couldn't help but exclaim.
For me, the size is a little small, but the texture is addictive and crunchy. The sweetness is moderate, and it would be even more delicious if eaten with coffee or milk.
"There's plenty left, so please share some with your family later... That's what Mei-san said."
With this flavor, even my parents would enjoy it. They're both in their fifties, so they don't have big appetites, and this size would be just right. It seems Mei-san was that considerate. What a thoughtful maid.
"One more please."
"thank you"
Seeing my reaction, Hime brought me another cookie. I wanted to eat one more, so I ate it right away, but it seemed Shinyo had seen what I was doing.
"Koharu too! Eat Koharu too!"
Oh no. He's a little sulky.
He probably isn't angry with Hime, but he probably isn't amused because she got a better reaction from the cookies than from Shinyo's potato chips.
This time he forced a pointed cone into my mouth.
"I-I'll eat it. So be gentle...ok?"
I don't have time to swallow the cookies. I've also had some snacks, so my mouth is a mess of tastes. I'd like to drink some juice to reset myself.
"Here you go. There's still some left, so eat as much as you want."
Xin Yang was merciless.
He attached a pointed cone to each of his five fingers and thrust them into my mouth.
Please don't stab me...it hurts a little.
"Yohei-kun, do you have this too?"
Oh no.
For some reason, Hime also started competing with Shinyo-chan and offered her a cookie. Even though her mouth was already full, it was a bit difficult to fit any more in.
"...Is Xin Yang still better?"
Damn. Don't be so dejected.
With a face like that, there's no way I could choose not to eat it.
"Thank you for the meal."
It was forced into my mouth. I couldn't taste it anymore. In fact, I couldn't even chew it. No matter how much I chewed, it was being forced into my mouth at a pace that I couldn't keep up with.
"Yo-chan, more!"
And Shinyo is competitive.
He stubbornly pushes the next snack towards me. Wait a minute! I can't fit any more in there.
"Now, open your mouth."
"Hehe... Yohei-kun, please eat this too, okay?"
Shinyo is getting angry.
Then, Hime let out a small laugh as if she couldn't help it.
Oh, maybe he was just acting all depressed?
Hime was laughing at me, seeing me in trouble. This was the face she made when she was playing a prank on me.
Maybe it's amusing to watch me being unable to say no.
Or perhaps Hime was drawn to Shinyo's childishness and was letting her own childish side out... She was completely at the mercy of these two innocent little devils.
(I can't do it anymore!)
My mouth is full and I can't speak.
So I tried to appeal to them with my eyes, but the six and eight year olds didn't get it. Well, to be precise, the eight year old probably got it, but he ignored me so it was pointless.
"Yo-chan, look!"
"Yohei-kun, please?"
...Of course, I know there's no ill will behind it.
Shinyo is cute when she gets angry, and Hime is also cute when she enjoys playing pranks.
But please... I wish they would at least let me have something to drink.
