In entrance of me are two bowls.

They had been taken out of the fridge by Sendai-san, and each comprise kneaded floor meat inside. I don’t know why there are two bowls, however there is just one that I can think about from the contents.

「Hamburger?」

「Nearly.」

A light-weight voice replies.

「Then, what are you making?」

「Gyoza. The bowl is stuffed with gyoza elements that I made earlier than Miyagi got here again. Two sorts: shiso and cheese.」

Sendai-san put the bowl on the desk and checked out me.

「Gyoza? You go to all that hassle to make them?」

「That’s proper. I’m simply speculated to wrap it up and bake it.」

「Why didn’t you simply purchase a ready-made one?」

「I used to be craving gyozas with out garlic stuffed in it.」

「They promote these, too, if you happen to search for them.」

「I do know, however it will be enjoyable to make it collectively.」

「…I’m leaving my bag right here.」

I don’t keep in mind replying to Sendai-san, who requested me to assist her put together the meal, that I might assist her. However she is speaking on the idea that I’ll assist her, so she leaves her coat and bag in my room.

I return to the widespread space, wash my fingers, and stand subsequent to Sendai-san, who naturally locations one of many bowls in entrance of me.

「Wrap it up this manner, Miyagi.」

She fingers me a spoon and I stare into the bowl.

Sendai-san needs to prepare dinner every part and asks me to assist her. She has made karaage and cookies earlier than. We cooked different issues collectively, however the issues we cooked had been issues that might have been offered on the retailer with out going to the difficulty of creating them. I had been shopping for and consuming such issues for a very long time.

Even gyozas are the identical.

For me, gyozas are already within the type of frozen or chilled gyozas, not constructed from wrapping them within the pores and skin.

I feel it’s troublesome.

I don’t know why Sendai-san needs to make every part.

However someway, the meals Sendai-san makes tastes so good that I find yourself serving to her even when it looks like a trouble.

「…I’ve by no means made it and I don’t know the way to wrap it.」

On the desk, along with a bowl, there’s a small plate with water and gyoza skins. I decide up one of many gyoza skins and have a look at Sendai-san.

「Then put a spoonful of the filling in the course of the crust.」

「Like this?」

I positioned a spoonful of the filling in the course of the crust as I used to be informed.

「Sure-yes. Subsequent, moist the sting of the pores and skin with water, decide the proper edge, and simply shut it up like this, making folds so as from the sting. Straightforward, isn’t it?」

Sendai-san demonstrates the way to wrap the elements, however I don’t actually perceive. I understood that she folds it from the sting of the pores and skin to make folds, however I solely understood that half. I don’t imagine it may be accomplished the identical method.

Nonetheless, I can’t not do it, and for now, I shut the sides of the pores and skin and make folds.

「…It ripped.」

I don’t know why.

I used to be capable of wrap the filling, however the pores and skin was ripped open and the contents had been seen.

「Why don’t you scale back the quantity of elements?」

Primarily based on Sendai-san’s recommendation, a smaller quantity of filling than earlier than is positioned within the heart of the pores and skin and closed, leading to an unshapely gyoza. It’s not as stunning because the gyoza made by Sendai-san.

In all probability, it shouldn’t be due to the folds.

I take a chunk of dumpling pores and skin.

I place the filling in the course of the pores and skin, fold it right into a sq., and present it to Sendai-san.

「It appears extra like a sq. crepe than a dumpling. In the event you scale back the variety of folds」

「It’s the identical if you happen to eat it with or with out folds, so why not this?」

I make one other sq. dumpling and place it on the plate.

「…You’re clumsy, aren’t you, Miyagi?」

「I’m not clumsy.」

「Nicely, you may make them any form you want in Miyagi. Torn gyoza, misshapen gyoza, crepe-like gyoza, they’re all beautiful.」

Sendai chuckles as she appears on the dumplings I made.

It’s irritating.

I squeeze Sendai-san’s foot and keep in mind one thing essential.

It was not the time to be leisurely making gyoza.

I’ve to inform Sendai-san one thing.

I made another clumsy gyoza with folds, then inhaled and exhaled. Then take one other piece of pores and skin, put the filling within the center, connect the proper edge after which ask in a voice neither loud nor quiet.

「About Christmas, what would you like?」

On the sound of my voice, Sendai-san stopped making gyoza.

「Christmas is in twenty fifth, proper?」

「It’s in twenty fourth.」

「That’s Christmas Eve.」

「It doesn’t matter both method. Both you’ve gotten one thing to do otherwise you don’t. Reply me.」

I speak just a bit bit sooner, and I begin to really feel like I’ve heard one thing particular. It shouldn’t be a giant deal to ask about Christmas plans, however I can’t look subsequent to me. I shut the gyoza pores and skin, unable to get the folds proper.

「I’m free however,」

I hear Sendai-san’s quiet voice and exhale. I place the misshapen gyoza on the plate and say without delay what I’ve to say.

「Maika needs the three of us to get collectively.」

「…Utsunomiya did?」

Sendai-san’s voice is stiffer than common.

「Sure.」

「What did you say, Miyagi?」

「I don’t have any plans.」

「Does that imply you’re going to see Utsunomiya on the twenty fourth?」

「Sure, however,」

Feelings that I had been wanting to maintain buried deep inside surfaced. I can’t management these emotions, and so they all the time appear to be pulled strongly towards Sendai-san. And I don’t need her to satisfy Maika. The considered being locked up on this home with so many marks the place I can see her involves thoughts, and I need to extinguish the thought with a sense like a darkish, burning flame.

「What would you like me to do, Miyagi?」

She asks me a query, and I’m misplaced for a solution.

I don’t need to let Sendai-san meet Maika, however I additionally don’t need to break my promise to Maika.

What ought to I do?

The reply have to be one.

If I had to decide on one, if I had to decide on only one, it will absolutely be a solution that I don’t like myself. So I don’t need to discuss it.

「Simply say to Utsunomiya that I’m high quality with the three of us getting collectively on the Christmas Eve.」

Sendai-san stated in a voice that was not as arduous as earlier than, however not delicate both, and took a chunk of gyoza pores and skin. She positioned the filling on the pores and skin and shortly closed it up in folds. Very quickly in any respect, the filling was wrapped and the dumplings had been positioned on the plate, however it was the pores and skin that had been ripped open to disclose the filling.

「Miyagi.」

Sendai-san calls me quietly.

「What’s it?」

「As a substitute, we’ll spend Christmas collectively.」

「The Christmas in twenty fifth?」

「Sure.」

「Sendai-san, don’t you’ve gotten an appointment with a good friend?」

「I don’t.」

「You don’t?」

Is there a promise or not?

There must be two solutions to my query, and the reply that she don’t isn’t proper.

「I’m not doing it.」

The reply was additionally subtly incorrect, however it appeared to her that the reply was not a mistake, and there was no hesitation in her voice.

「What are we two going to do?」

「Let’s eat cake.」

Sendai-san says in a delicate voice.

「I feel I’ll eat it in twenty fourth.」

「You could possibly eat it in twenty fifth.」

「Can we simply have our cake and eat it?」

「If you wish to eat cake from morning until night time, that’s high quality.」

「What do you imply?」

「Spending the twenty fifth collectively means spending the complete time with me, from morning to nighttime.」

「There’s not a lot to do from morning until night time.」

「Sure, there are. For instance, we may buy groceries within the morning and prepare dinner dinner collectively like we did as we speak.」

I don’t wish to prepare dinner.

I don’t suppose I’m lower out for it.

I don’t thoughts instantaneous meals or retort pouch so long as it satisfies my starvation.

I’ve all the time thought so, however even when I’m clumsy and may’t do it in addition to Sendai-san, and even whether it is an excessive amount of hassle, making gyoza like this makes me suppose that cooking collectively for Christmas isn’t so dangerous.

「What are we going to make?」

「What do you need to eat, Miyagi?」

「There’s nothing particularly.」

「Nicely, give it some thought. If you wish to do one thing else, it doesn’t must be cooking. So, give me the twenty fifth, Miyagi.」

「…Nice.」

Christmas doesn’t appear particular to me, however I don’t need Sendai-san to go away with out me on Christmas. I would like the entire thing, and if I’ve a schedule, I need to take it away from another person who fills the schedule.

I don’t need to be left behind on essential or unimportant days.

I need to put the twenty fourth on a leash and maintain them mine, however I’ve to surrender. Maika is my good friend and she or he can be a good friend of Sendai-san. She would by no means take Sendai-san away from me. So, to placate my reluctance to let Sendai-san see Maika, I maintain my insinuating emotions deep in my coronary heart and maintain a lid on them.

「Then, it’s a promise.」

After saying this, Sendai-san kissed my earring and swore Christmas to me, then whispered in my ear.

「I’ll wait that lengthy for the final promise, too.」

「What promise?」

The phrases I requested weren’t answered.

However I do know what the promise is.

Nonetheless, I can’t assist however ask.

「Sendai-san, what’s your reply to my query?」

「The gyoza, I’ll reply you if you may make them fantastically.」

My phrases made Sendai-san chuckle as she wrapped the elements within the pores and skin, leading to misshapen gyoza.
