My Wife in The Web Game is a Popular Idol Chapter 1 Episode 13

Chapter 1

Episode 13

TLed by: TanoshiKara

Secretly being alone with a popular idol without anyone finding out...... That is probably the very event that has a charm equivalent to that of the Forbidden Fruit. I think that fans, especially, would feel a lifetime's worth of happiness.

............If it were a normal event, that is.

Following Mizuki-san's instructions, I made my way to the Old School Building without anyone finding out.

Opening the double doors at the entrance, I entered to find that the floor creaks. As the spots left on the wooden floor continued further in, I managed to locate the stairs that were in the middle of the hallway.

"Let's go......!"

If I were to give an example of this nervousness, it would be the racing of my heart when challenging the boss touted by the management as the strongest. How will it attack? Can we win......Thinking of the many developments that will take place as I tread forward.

It is most likely the same this time. I am going to meet the popular idol who proclaims to be my wife after all......!

Feeling happy yet wanting to run away......with such a complex state of mind, I went up to the second floor and headed for the classroom at the end of the hallway. Whether it is because they forgot, it seems like this is the only classroom that is not locked. Mizuki-san explained this to me in our chatroom.

......You sure are amazing for being able to find such a classroom, or so I wrote, to which she swiftly replied, "I searched for it to be able to be alone with my husband." I could not come up with a reply.

I set foot in it after opening the door. Sweeping across the room, I spot Mizuki-san sitting in the seat at the corner.

"Over here, Kazuto-kun"

As soon as she looked over, a soft expression, unbecoming of the cool-type idol, appeared on her face as she beckoned me over.

I shut the door using the hand I put behind my back and walk to her as I stare at the two bento boxes on the table. Both of them are wrapped in blue cloth. I think that one of them is most likely my portion.

"Thank you for the bento Mizuki-san"

"There is no need to concern yourself with that. There is nothing weird about a wife making bento for her husband after all"

"W-Why yes......!"

"That reaction is a bit intriguing huh......?"

Ignoring the puzzled Mizuki-san, I sit across from her. Of course, I turn the chair around to face Mizuki-san. I am quite nervous.

"It is wonderful that I am able to spend lunch time with my husband. I have dreamt of such a day"

"You were looking forward to it t-that much......?"

"Uh-huh. I have been undergoing homemaking training from a young age to bring my future husband happiness. That is why you can look forward to the contents inside the bento box"

Seemingly having quite the confidence, Mizuki-san displays a bold way of boasting, much like the cool-type idol she is. Since she is that confident, I have no choice but to look forward to it.

I unwrap the cloth.

"I asked you this in-game as well, but you do not have any allergies or food you dislike, right?" She asked while I did that.

"Uh-huh," I replied.

Players can cook in Black Plains as well.

From there, we dived deeper into the topic; There was even a time when we talked about the different kinds of food we liked in real life. It seems like Mizuki-san conscientiously remembers what I said back then.

"Wow......Looks really delicious," I unconsciously murmur after opening the lid.

The side dishes placed in it can be called the standards of a bento. Shapely and golden egg rolls, cute octopus sausages, potato salad...... There are other side dishes as well, all placed to maintain a good nutritional balance.

It seems mediocre, but that is the charm of a homemade bento.

"Well then, let me eeee-Mizuki-san?"

As I picked up the chopsticks she prepared for me, I realized that Mizuki-san is staring at me with a smile on her face.

It is difficult to eat with her staring so intently.

"Eeerm, Mizuki-san? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. I am only looking at Kazuto-kun"

"I am sorry, it is hard to eat......"

"I see......That is true, I am sorry," Mizuki-san apologizes after reflecting on her actions.

It is fine, or so I say, to which Mizuki-san, seemingly touched, has tears in her eyes. 

"To have my husband eat my homemade cooking......is something I always longed to do so...... My wish has been granted at this very moment. When I think about this, I become unable to take my eyes off Kazuto-kun......!" She says sincerely after using her knuckle to wipe away the tears.

"A-Ahh, okay! Then look at me! Please look at me to your heart's content!"

I could not turn her down when she said those words with such emotion. On the contrary, I bowed and asked her to look at me more.

I regretted it the next second. Without hesitation, Mizuki-san leans her body on the desk and brings her face closer with all her might.

"Erm......do you not know the word called moderation?"

"I am a girl who gives it my all when I do something"

"It is weird to give it your all here thoughh"

Seeing my bitter smile, Mizuki-san sits back down on her seat reluctantly.

Is this a cool-type idol?, or so I could not help but ask.

Her words and actions are vastly different from what the people around her know her for.

Collecting myself, I grab the chopsticks and gently pick up an egg roll. Bringing it into my mouth, I chew it. The Umami1 from the egg gently spreads throughout my mouth.

Perhaps she used some sort of soup stock; Anyway, it is delicious.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to analyze the flavor as I eat boiled eggs as a meal every day.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Uh-huh. It is extremely delicious......!"

"I see, I am glad. I am ecstatic"

True to her words, Mizuki-san breaks into a kind smile. Overflowing with warmth that it is incomparable to the cold, straight face she often shows in class.

Just by being able to see that smile, I think that there is meaning in living up until now.

"I shall do the 'open wide' for you"

"'O-Open wide' you say? T-That is a bit......!"

"You would refuse my......your wife's 'open wide'......?"

Seemingly distraught, both of Mizuki-san's eyes became teary. The atmosphere seems to be one where she would sob if I were to refuse her outright.

It is not like I hate the 'open wide' being done to me. It is the whole situation of that cool-type idol doing the 'open wide' to me that has me feeling hesitant. Another reason is that she is also someone I look up to.

"Kazuto-kun? Doing the 'open wide' is also......one of my aspirations"

"............Then please do"

"Fu, there is no helping it. I cannot refuse if my husband requests me to do the 'open wide'"

"Did Mizuki-san get momentary memory loss? You were the one who suggested it, right?"

"Being asked by my husband to do the 'open wide' and doing it reluctantly is also one of my aspirations......is that…a no?" Mizuki-san says apologetically. Hanging her head slightly, she repeatedly stole glances at me.

It seems like she has quite the odd fixation.

"......It is not, a no. Please do," I say hesitantly as I pass my chopsticks to her.

......I wonder just what is this situation I am in. I feel like this is one that keeps turning into something new that causes me to feel perplexed.

"Here, open wide"

Picking up a slice of egg roll, she brings it close to my mouth.

That expression she has on her face is one overflowing with affection. There is not a trace of the cool-type idol left. She is the very definition of a girl in love.

There is no mistaking that I am the only male in the world whom the very Rinka Mizuki would do the 'open wide' for...... I get nervous about eating that egg roll in front of me just by knowing this.

"Kazuto-kun......? Here, eat it"

"Okay......!"

I chomped on the egg roll. Even though it should have been the very same egg roll as the one earlier, the taste was different. Or rather, my taste buds had bugged out due to my nervousness. There was no leeway for me to enjoy the flavor. However, a warm feeling welled up inside me, so much so that my entire body trembled.

It sure would be nice if we could get along well enough to greet each other~, or so I was daydreaming about just a few days ago.

And how did that turn out? We are now getting along well enough that she will do the 'open wide' for me.

"Okay, next one. Open wide"

"......!"

The unending 'open wide'. I eat the food one after the other. Seeing me eating the food seemingly sumptuously, Mizuki-san became even more blissful.

I sensed a weight in every bite as if the two of us being alone in the old school building acted as a spice.

The bento box eventually becomes empty. 

A disappointed expression appears on Mizuki-san's face.

"Blissful time has......ended huh"

"Mizuki-san......"

I want to do something for her as her fan after hearing that. I do not want Mizuki-san to feel such negative feelings. She did indeed act and talk weirdly many times, but they are separate matters.

As expected, I am a fan of Mizuki-san after all!

"Mizuki-san, if it is alright, I will......do the 'open wide' for you this time," I suggested, mustering up the courage while looking at what I think is Mizuki-san's portion of the bento.

For me to be doing the 'open wide' for a popular idol......, or so I think but if this would make Mizuki-san smile even just a little then—.

"I will hold off on that"

"Uh-huh, then I will use my chopsticks to......Eh?"

"I will hold off on that"

With a stiff and straight face, Mizuki-san shot down my suggestion without hesitation.

............You’d refuse, seriously!?

What is this feeling, I wonder. I feel so embarrassed that I want to scream right now.

"Ah, uh-huh, yeappp. Sorry for being an Online Game Goner I............ahahaha, I am sorry," I murmur after retracting the hand I stretched out in an attempt to take my chopsticks.

However, Mizuki-san's reaction surpassed my expectations.

"My heart is not ready yet"

"Your heart is not......ready?"

"Yes. My loved one......my husband is going to do the 'open wide' for me, you know? I am so happy that my face will surely be weird," Mizuki-san said, her face crimson red as she turned her face away from me.

......I do not understand the basis for embarrassment.
