When I Started Doing Housework For The Cool Beauty In My Class, She Began Asking Me About The Dinner Menu Every Day

During the summer vacation of his first year in high school, Shirayanagi Minato found himself in a bind—completely out of cash. Desperate for a solution, he turned to his mother, and with a knowing smile, she introduced him to an unusual job. It was a one-time household support service, something Minato, with his talent for housework, was confident he could handle.

But when he arrived at his assignment, he was greeted by a shocking revelation: the client was Fujisaki Kanon, the cool, enigmatic beauty from his class, adored by many but known to few. And the sight that awaited him? Her chaotic, disaster of a room—an overwhelming mess that stood in stark contrast to her composed demeanor.

Caught off guard by Kanon’s unexpected vulnerability, Minato pushed through his surprise and got to work. He cleaned every corner of her messy home until it sparkled and even prepared a warm, homemade dinner for her. The grateful yet reserved Kanon watched silently, her cool exterior betraying hints of embarrassment.

The job was supposed to be a one-time deal. Yet, just when Minato thought their interaction would end there, Kanon reached out to him again, asking—no, pleading—for him to continue helping her.

Day by day, as Minato took care of her, something shifted between them. Kanon, who had always kept others at arm’s length, began to lower her walls. Slowly but surely, she started to let him into her life.

“Hey, Minato-kun… what’s for dinner tonight?” she asked one evening, her voice softer than usual, tinged with a mix of curiosity and comfort.

Before either of them realized it, relying on Minato had become second nature to her. The once-cool and untouchable Kanon now found herself looking forward to his presence, her heart quietly warming to the boy who had transformed her chaotic life into something a little brighter.
