Trivia Dinner
Yesterday and the day before were very happy days. Truly like a dream.
Reflecting on that happiness multiple times, savoring the joy with a grin on my face, I cleaned the room and did some strength training in the dungeon anteroom. I leisurely spent the day like that.
And then, 7 PM.
While enjoying dinner with the shabu-shabu of a giant Kamadouma whose eating style I liked, watching TV, the sound of knocking on the entrance door echoed. Hmm, who could it be?
"Hello?"
"(It's me.)"
(Eh Nina-san?)
"(Gacha) Ah, Nina-san. Could it be that you forgot something? Huh, but that's strange. I cleaned the room today, but nothing?"
"No, I didn't forget anything. I was thinking of staying in your room for a while."
Looking closely, Nina-san had the rolling travel bag I saw during the Izu trip.
"Eh Could it be that Nina-san also has some trouble!?"
"No, not really I just wanted to live together with you"
What's this!? What a wonderful proposal.
"Well, but is it okay? Living together, it's, you know, various things?"
"I understand that. So what do you think? You wouldn't mind living with a woman who has shared some skin with you, right?"
"Of course not. Well then, come in."
"Yay Thank you"
Accepting the rolling travel bag and placing it in the corner of the room, Nina-san, who took off her coat, handed me a very stylish coat whose name I couldn't quite understand. Inside, she was wearing a gray knit. A thick turtleneck, very warm-looking. And as always, her sense of style was good.
"Oh, have you had dinner already? Bad timing, huh?"
"No, it's not a big deal. It's good that you're here while I'm in the room. You could have let me know, though? Cheers!"
I hung the stylish coat I received in the closet and left the space I cleared when Sekurai-san stayed, so it was no problem for Ina-san to stay this time.
"Well, I thought you might be here at this time. And I wanted to surprise you a bit"
What's this? I feel like Ina-san, who is usually calm, has been making somewhat extravagant moves lately.
"Oh, I was definitely surprised. But what would you have done if I weren't here? It's already quite cold outside at night."
"If you weren't here, I was thinking of calling you. But I'm glad you're here Hey, is this the shabu-shabu' from the other day? Can I have some too?"
"Yeah, let's eat together."
Today, I was feeling a bit lonely having dinner alone, but I'm happy to have dinner with Ina-san. Besides, I've become quite accustomed to interacting normally without showing social awkwardness, thanks to living with Sekurai-san and sharing skin with them. I've grown a lot.
I prepared chopsticks and dishes and had a meal with Ina-san. Although, the meal was just pseudo lemon water with the shabu-shabu of the giant Kamadowma
"(Nom nom nom) But, is this all for dinner? Machi mentioned it, but you're really strict with yourself."
"Hahaha, well, I'm unemployed. I had some extra money from selling magic stones I obtained in the dungeon, but I need to save money unless it's necessary."
"Well, that makes sense. By the way, you eat two meals a day, right? I do the same"
"Yeah, I heard that from Serai-san or maybe from Ruu. Well, ideally, one meal a day is good, but I need 2 meals to maintain my muscles."
"Well, if you say so. How about you? Did you have enough to eat?"
"Yeah, thanks There's plenty of meat. But I'm in the mood for something a little sweet, so I'll buy something from the convenience store."
"Oh, if that's the case, it's better to avoid fast-digesting things like fruits and go for heavier options like cake or daifuku."
"Eh why is that?"
Nina-san, who was about to stand up to go to the convenience store, sat back down. It seems my words caught her attention. Let me explain.
"When you eat [fast-digesting things] and [slow-digesting things] together, it causes absorption congestion in the intestines, doubling the time it takes for each to be absorbed. It puts a lot of strain on the intestines, and you might feel a strange fatigue after meals."
"Huh!? I think I've felt that before"
"If that's the case, there's a possibility of absorption congestion in the intestines. It's hard to categorize precisely, but be a little careful to separate [fast-digesting things] and [slow-digesting things] when you eat."
"Um, how do I do that?"
"Well, for example, for breakfast, you can eat [fast-digesting things] like honey, apples, and yogurt together. For lunch, just eat [slow-digesting things]. Almost everything, except for [fast-digesting things], can be considered [slow-digesting things]."
"Oh, that's interesting. Anything else I should be careful about in meals?"
"Well, let's see the only other things that come to mind are fats and carbohydrates. Fats and carbohydrates are notorious for causing obesity."
"You're quite knowledgeable, as expected. I've become much wiser today"
"Good to hear. Well, I'll clean up, so go ahead and take a shower."
"Yeah, I'll do that. Thank you"
