{3rd Person's Point of View}
After Soma and Megumi's encounter with Hayama, everyone went busy preparing for the prelims. It was 9 in the morning, and you have finished trying out the spices that the system told you.
All that's left to do is trying out different ingredients. You were curious and wanted to learn more about Italian Cuisine.
'I know two certain people who's associated with Italian Cuisine.' You thought while you were inside your car.
'Isami and Takumi. But considering that Takumi's going to be one of my rivals in the prelims...'
"Takumi's definitely going to freak out." You mumbled. "Isami's the best choice then!" you beamed.
"Young Miss, we have arrived." Your driver said so you thanked him before exiting the car and taking your stuffs.
"Please pick me up at 5." You added before the car left. Once you were outside their apartment's door, you rang the doorbell. It took you 2 rings before the door swing open. Revealing a fluffy surprised Aldini Isami.
"(Reader)-chan?" Isami muttered surprised.
"Isa-chan!" you beamed. "Sorry for not informing you about me coming so suddenly. Are you free today? Is Taku-chan there?" you asked.
"It's fine (Reader)-chan! I'm testing out my ingredients. Nii-chan went out today." Isami replied. Isami turned his gaze on the bag you were holding before inviting you inside.
You were now sitting on the couch while your gaze was wandering. The apartment was really cozy and neat. "Oh my! What a beautiful house~" you beamed.
Isami blushed a little at your compliment before placing down a cup of coffee for you. You were surprised while looking at the cup of coffee.
The cup had a brown cute bear design, which you found cute. But you wondered who uses it, is it Isami or Takumi?
"Ah! Don't you like it (Reader)-chan? I could make some tea! I thought you love coffee because I always see you drinking one." Isami said panicking.
You giggled at his cute reaction before taking the cup of coffee on your hands. "Don't worry Isa-chan! I was just admiring the cup's design. Is this your cup?" you asked causing Isami to blush even more.
"Yes, our mother bought it for us. Nii-chan's cup has a yellow bear. It's a little embarrassing." Isami replied.
"Oh, don't be! It's really cute." You grinned before taking a cup of coffee. "Oh, by the way! Have you eaten breakfast? I've brought some with me." You replied and took 2 black bentos from your bag.
You placed it on the table before opening the lid, Isami stared at it and his eyes were sparkling. You both stopped when Isami's stomach growled, he blushed while you chuckled.
"Don't be shy, here." You replied giving the chopsticks to him.
"T-Thank you (Reader)-chan. I-Itadakimasu?" Isami hesitantly said. He wasn't really used in saying that phrase, in Italy the didn't do that. He took a piece of the sausage shaped like squid and his eyes sparkled.
You were happy seeing Isami enjoying the food you have made. "Do you want some (Reader)-chan?" Isami asked giving you a sausage.
"Nope, I'm good! I already ate before heading here." You replied smiling. Isami, after eating turned to you to ask if you wanted anything.
"Oh! Right, I was going to ask for a favor. Is it alright if you teach me more about Italian Cuisine?" you asked. Isami opened his eyes while staring at you surprised.
"I was thinking learn some Italian Cuisine, maybe it'll give me a few ideas. If you don't mind that is." You replied while staring at Isami.
Isami smiled again, his eyes closed. "Of course!" Isami replied as he guided you towards the kitchen. You were both enjoying yourselves and time flies by.
Isami was having fun teaching you and you were having fun learning new stuffs. You were both interrupted when the doorbell rang.
"Ah! It must be Nii-chan." Isami said. "Excuse me (Reader)-chan, I'm going to open the door." Isami added as you replied with a nod before writing the stuffs you've learned.
"Whose shoes are these?" you heard Takumi asked. "Do we have a guest?"
You can hear their footsteps nearing, so you peeked your head from the kitchen. Takumi stopped while staring at you. "Welcome back!! Nii-chan." You teased.
Takumi blushed and backed away. "(R-R-Reader)-chan!! What are you doing here?!" Takumi yelled surprised.
"Nii-chan I'm teaching (Reader)-chan about Italian Cuisine." Isami replied smiling.
"What? Why would you teach (Reader)-chan that?! Isami have you forgotten that she's one of our rivals?!" Takumi yelled.
You smiled at them, "Thank you for teaching me today Isami! I had fun, but I have to get going." You replied.
"Already?" Isami asked disappointed.
"Yes, it's also getting late." You replied smiling. Isami had no choice but to agree, he helped you in packing your things too.
"Bye bye (Reader)-chan!" Isami said waving at you while you exited the apartment.
"Bye bye Isa-chan! You too Taku-chan!" you replied waving at them.
"Hmph!" Takumi huffed and looked away while his arms were crossed. You sweat dropped at his Tsundere-ness.
"See you again (Reader)-chan!" Isami added still waving at you.
"You too Isami!" you beamed before heading inside the car. You can see Isami waving at you while Takumi stood beside his brother.
When you got back to Polar Star dorm your phone vibrated.
