--------------------------------------------------
Walking side by side, Naomi and Yato were silent neither of them knew what to say in this situation, Naomi was still with flushed cheeks and behind her ears that were heavily flushed, Yato on the other hand... Her mind was completely blank with a little monkey playing the drum...
What had happened even a few moments ago was still so fresh in their minds that they couldn't just let it go or pretend it hadn't happened.
The two didn't know what to do as they had never been romantically involved with anyone in their lives, they both didn't know the answer to that question.
"I... I'm going to the bathroom." Naomi said.
"Mm… right." Yato replied.
Quickly leaving Yato behind Naomi arrived at the girls' bathroom, thanks to her [Telepathy] she entered the bathroom without worrying if anyone else was inside.
She looked at herself in the big bathroom mirror.
Her face was almost all red and reached up to her ears.
Touching her cheek with her hand, Naomi felt her face warm, even though today was a cold day she still felt that she was warm...
''It feels like my chest is going to explode.'' Naomi said softly. She placed her hand on her chest that rose and fell with every breath she took. Naomi felt her heart beat fast at the thought that she was going to kiss him again in such a short time.
Entering one of the bathroom compartments Naomi sat up, looking at her legs, they were trembling, her belly was tingling as if there were butterflies inside her.
Letting out a big sigh, she thought to Naomi: 'Now that I've noticed, but he's well-toned.'
Her face turned even redder, shaking her head to rid herself of these naughty thoughts. 'Ah!! Why is this so embarrassing? Damn it, I'll never forget something this embarrassing for the rest of my life. She thought. If possible, she wanted to bury herself in some hole, a deep one.
'I still have a few minutes before the second class starts, I'll use this time to calm down.'
***
So she did, after sitting on the toilet for three minutes calming down, Naomi got up, flushed the toilet and walked out of the ladies room. Having calmed down, she at least wouldn't have a nervous breakdown or blush around Yato, or so she thought.
Passing quickly through the classroom, Naomi grabbed the white apron she'd forgotten about. No one could blame her, she was so embarrassed that she ended up forgetting about him...
Arriving in the kitchen, it seemed that everyone had already formed groups and were talking to each other...
'Looks like I'm the only one without a group, forget it. That's better, more crepes for me. thought Naomi. Now she had to concentrate on making sweet crepes!
"Okay folks, class is about to start." Yato spoke, ending the students' conversation.
''Kamiya-Sensei? Will you be our cooking teacher too?'' asked a student.
"Yes, Matsuzaki-Sensei took a vacation and I would replace him." Yato replied.
''Read the blackboard to find out how a crepe is made. Anything would be here to advise you.'' Said Yato, he turned to Naomi and said, ''Student Saiki, looks like you're the only one without a group...''
"Yeah, I ended up going to the bathroom and then I had to go back to the living room and get my apron." replied Naomi.
"Mm, then you won't be alone, so I'll accompany you, of course, if you don't mind." Yato said.
"It's okay, Sensei." Naomi replied. It looked like she had eaten a mosquito when she said 'sensei'.
"Okay, let's get started then folks." Yato spoke to the entire class.
***
''What about this. I make the crepe dough and you clean the strawberries? We can use ready-made whipped cream.'' Yato suggested.
"Alright, your path will be easier for me." Naomi replied. Taking a small knife, she cut the green leaf off the top of the strawberry, then cut them into small pieces and placed them in a small bowl of water.
Yato started to prepare the crepe dough, first he added the flour, then 1 large egg followed by the milk, he started to beat everything until it was homogeneous.
Mentally letting out a sigh, he turned his head to a source of big trouble.
Opening his mouth he said, ''Hairo, Kaidou, Nendou and Aren, don't put anything aluminum inside the microwave.'' Yato spoke, he continued saying:
''Nendou and Aren, don't let those two put anything made of aluminum inside the microwave again. I don't want to explain to the Director why there was an explosion when making crepes.''
''Right!'' Nendou replied, ''Dwarf, leave it to me and Aren, you're a terrible cook.'' Said Nendou.
''I don't want to hear it from you!'' Kaidou exclaimed.
''Calm down Kaidou, let him do it.'' Said Hairo trying to ease the situation.
''Alright, let's see him fail miserably.'' Said Kaidou with a dark look. Your Chunni hit hard...
...
Coming back with Naomi and Yato, they both had almost everything ready.
Yato was doing the final preparation which was to melt the butter in the microwave, obviously he used a glass bowl instead of an aluminum one.
Naomi had taken the strawberries out of the water and dried them, she was waiting for Yato to finish some of it.
Pouring the melted butter into the aluminum bowl, Yato stirred and stirred until everything was smooth.
Everything was ready. The dough for the crepes, the filling, all that was needed was to make the crepes themselves.
''Me, or do you want to do this?'' Yato asked.
''You do.' replied Naomi.
''Alright.'' Yato spoke, he continued, ''Put the parchment paper on the table, please.''
''Mm.'' Crouching down, Naomi picked up a roll of parchment paper and opened it...
Taking the aluminum bowl, Yato pulled out a ladle. Turning the heat on low, he spread oil and finally put in the crepe batter. Using the ladle to spread the crepe batter, he waited until one was ready before turning over with the chopsticks.
* * *
Looking at the hanging watch, Yato mentally sighed.
Class was already over. After he made the crepes with Naomi they ended up eating the crepes and as the cooking class was short he waived the class and made them go back to class in order.
Meanwhile, he was heading to the staff room to get another cup of coffee.
Opening the door, he saw Shima-Sensei inside, she seemed to be on her break.
Not wanting to talk to her, Yato quickly grabbed a cup of coffee, even if it was cold, it didn't matter, he could warm it up with [Pyrokinesis].
As he had entered quickly, he left quickly. No one had noticed Yato coming and going, he had significantly diminished his presence so that no one there would try to strike up a conversation with him.
Returning to his classroom, as soon as he entered the students were silent waiting for him to speak:
''Let's continue with the Self-Study. It's better not to waste time on unnecessary things, the cooking class just happened to give some time to rest mentally." Yato spoke, he continued: "As there is no more subject to teach you, review what you learned last month, we will continue with Mathematics.''
"Any questions, just call me." Yato spoke.
- Skip time -
Unfortunately, due to his work as a teacher, Yato had to stay at the school due to the meeting that would take place between the teachers to discuss about the exams.
There was no way he could get back together with Naomi due to this encounter.
''Let's welcome our new teacher, Kamiya Yato-san!''
* Applause! *
* Applause! *
Going up on stage, Yato gave a short greeting to his fellow teachers and said, "Nice to meet you all."
He went back to his place despondent...he wanted so badly to go home with Naomi that he was dismayed not being able to go...
''Kawai...''
''Does he have a girlfriend?''
''He's too young for you, you old hag!''
''Who are you calling a witch?!''
''You?''
A fight quickly broke out...
While on the one hand Yato ignored the fight, the men there looked at him with pity for the fate he would have if he fell into the clutches of those witches...
'Sigh… I want to get out of here… as soon as possible.' thought Yato.
- Skip time -
Shortly after the meeting ended, Yato quickly left that place where dreams die and fools are devoured by monsters that seduce men...
Yato was almost kidnapped by an old witch... why were older women so scary? He had to deal with some of them trying to hit on him or even asking him out blatantly and even some of them being married...
But he didn't have any interest in these women, they didn't have anything that could really attract him like Naomi... It was strange, even he didn't know what made her so 'special' to him. He liked every expression she made, even when she was angry, her angry expression was really cute. When she blushed all over, she seemed to 'hit' him in a way he didn't know... It felt like his heart stopped whenever she blushed.
That weird humor of hers, or when she was so direct in her words that it could hurt a person emotionally.
From what he read of the book, he was 'in love' with Naomi... but, he didn't know if it was really that for never having felt 'love' for another person. Cookie doesn't count, she was almost his daughter, the love between father and daughter is completely different.
That kiss Naomi gave him when time stopped ignited a flame inside his heart that he didn't think should have existed in the first place. The kiss he gave her, and finally the kiss Naomi gave him, was so magical to him that for a moment he felt as if her heart really stopped...
He didn't want to do something that might displease her for acting childish...
Passing in front of that 'Café Mami' that Naomi liked, it was late afternoon, he very much doubts that she was there...
He takes away what he was thinking just now. His mood quickly returned to normal...
Naomi was inside eating coffee jelly, accompanied by the boy who saw spirits and Aiura Mikoto.
'How much does she like Coffee Jelly?' thought Yato with a smile
