Ch 198 – 27 June, Invitation from Marin 02


    <span style="font-weight:400">Then dinner time arrived. Usually Miho, Michiru and Nanami go home after dinner. Meanwhile, the other girls usually go homete or stay at Kouta''s house from time to time. In the past, Kouta almost always prepared dinner. Since the presence of several girls there has been a change because there are several of them who can help, such as Nanami, Megumi and also Miho. Apart from that, Eriri is also slowly starting to be an expert in cooking.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, in the end it was Kouta who decided on the recipe and menu that was created. At least he didn''t have to do it all since the presence of girls. Moreover, for Kouta, who had spent dinner alone after the death of his family, having a meal together like this really warmed his heart.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, it feels like it''s been a long time since I''ve had a dinner like this— This is really delicious!” Marin talked while enjoying the sd in front of her. Not only from the appearance, but the smell of the delicious looking food continued to tempt her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Is that so?” Megumi, who was sitting next to him, replied to Marin''s words.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, my dad is always busy working so I always eat and sometimes prepare dinner by myself. I''ve never made a meal thisplete."


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Uh, I see— What kind of meals do you usually make?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hehehe—” Marin smiles broadly at Megumi''s words and has a proud look on her face. She showed Megumi the dishes she made to Megumi who was immediately surprised to see a picture of Marin with a meal that was practically full of carbohydrates and the like without any vegetables. The photo showed fried rice, sausages, and the like that looked to becking in vitamins and the like.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“If I don''t order food from outside, I make food like this— Doesn''t everything look good?" Kenji spoke as she showed the photo while puffing out her chest proudly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Megumi felt a little sorry seeing those foods and she might even feel a little stuffed seeing Marin''s food.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well, if you''re tired of those foods. You can almoste here. In the end, sometimes you need healthier food than that." Kouta told Marin while suggesting that the blonde girl should have a healthier diet than the one featured in the photo she was shown.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Really? Can I? Yay— I wille here as often as possible.” Marin answered Kouta''s offer with a smile that was more positive and powerful than usual. This made Kouta want to make sure that she would eat more delicious and healthier food even more.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, their dinner time became more talkative than usual because of Marin''s presence. Afterward, as usual Nanami and Miho went back to their respective homes especially since they had a curfew. Especially Miho, who has a strict father


    <span style="font-weight:400">Megumi, on the other hand, uses her time to help me program the visual novel that this circle is making. Meanwhile, Eriri and Utaha are busy with their own activities. So finally Marin had the opportunity to talk to Kouta.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Kouta, there''s actually something I want to tell you? Or a request from me to you?" Marin spoke and she looked a little hesitant or maybe embarrassed— either those two.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta thought it was strange to see Marin looked a bit shy like this. As such, he was quite ready to agree with her request.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Very well. As long as it''s not really difficult, I’ll do as you ask.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hehehe, really— Okay then, it was actually not long after I posted the results of the photo session we did almost two weeks ago. I got a message from one of my favorite cosyers that I know Juju-sama!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh—”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta certainly knows who Juju is or who is a character named Inui Sajuna who is a famous online cosyer in the manga. She is a character who can be said to have a petite, childlike appearance, despite being the oldest of Marin and Gojou.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Kouta was quite aware that once he had contact with Marin, then he would definitely eventually learn about this character.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It seems that she was quite impressed with the cosy I used and she dm''d me and asked how I could get the costume. Of course, I told her about Gojou who also agreed to the costume maker''s request from both me and Juju-sama. This time we will be cosying characters from magical girl themed anime. Likewise, I will be cosying as ck Lobelia." Marin continued to recount her conversation between herself and Sajuna which seemed to be different from what happened in the manga.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It seems that with the rtionship between Kouta and Marin, the rtionship between Marin and Gojou is only limited to customers and sellers in this world. So that makes Sajuna not do a stalking behavior to find out the costume used by Marin. In the end he acted like a normal person and sent a message to Marin instead of following up and getting Gojou''s home address.


    <span style="font-weight:400">From the conversation between Kouta and Marin, it can be said that Marin also oftenmunicates with Satomi, who is one of the famous online cosyers, to help Gojou in making her costume. So that makes the rtionship between Gojou and Marin just ordinary.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then I managed to get Juju to have a photo session together— I therefore hope that you cane with me." Marin, who had exined the rtionship between herself and Sajuna at length, finally extended an invitation to Kouta to join the photo session between her and Sajuna.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hm, I don’t see any problem. What about the date you promised?" Kouta had no reason to refuse, he was always happy to get the chance to spend time with the heroine and also get to know the characters he knew. As long as it doesn''t conflict with his schedule.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, that''s true. We''re doing a photo session tomorrow Friday— Can you do it?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Okay. I can go. But what about Juju and the others- Are they okay?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s okay, I identally showed them your picture from thest photo session. They''re fine if youe along—” Marin answered Kouta''s question with certainty. However, there was one thing that actually crossed Kouta''s mind since the photo Sajuna saw was most likely him wearing a female costume. He wondered if Sajuna knew that he was a man or Marin told them he was a man— But, this could be something interesting. So, he''ll probably act casual and see what happens.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It may be make a g or something—
