"Even so, the hot pot here is a little different from back home. In my world, hot pot was everywhere, and everyone had their own preferences—some liked spicy, others preferred different flavors," Hiroshi mused while eating. He compared the hot pot to the one in his previous world.
Hiroshi and Harumiko continued their hot pot feast. Hiroshi had bought an excessive amount of ingredients; if Harumiko hadn't come over, he likely wouldn't have finished it all. He had bought more than he could eat alone.
In Hiroshi's original world, every region had its own unique hot pot style. Each region had its own unique hot pot style.
"I'm so full! This time, I actually ate until I was full. Usually, I'd only eat half a hot pot and then have something else. I didn't expect to eat so much hot pot," Harumiko said, taking a napkin to wipe her mouth. She expressed her satisfaction.
Seeing Harumiko full, Hiroshi smiled. "Me too. Unlike you, I never filled myself up with just hot pot. I always had something else afterwards," he commented. He contrasted his eating habits with hers.
"Eating a full hot pot is expensive, though. I prefer having a little hot pot and then some other things. I love dessert; it's the perfect way to finish a meal," Harumiko said with a smile. She explained her preference for dessert.
Hiroshi nodded. "Since we're both full, you can rest here. I'll clean up the dishes," he offered. He offered to clean up.
Harumiko nodded and watched as Hiroshi gathered the dishes. She watched as he cleaned up.
Hiroshi quickly cleaned up the dishes and carried them to the kitchen. He efficiently cleaned up.
Harumiko also got to work, wiping the table with napkins. She cleaned the table. Then, she settled onto the sofa.
"I can't believe I ended up eating dinner at Hiroshi's place. I'm so happy. I thought he'd be home alone," Harumiko thought, sitting on the sofa. She reflected on her unexpected dinner.
Hiroshi happily washed the dishes in the kitchen because he'd shared the meal with the girl he loved. He felt happy about sharing the meal.
"Today, I'm incredibly lucky! I just wished for someone to eat with, and a kind, cute girl showed up! I'm so happy!"
"I need to treat her well. Maybe we'll eat together again someday. Next time, we'll eat something nicer; no more hot pot!" Hiroshi thought happily while washing the dishes. He made plans for the future.
Everyone hopes for a family and someone they love. Having those things makes life worthwhile. Having a family and someone to love makes life meaningful.
That was Hiroshi's wish, to spend his life with someone. Now, with Harumiko by his side, he was truly happy. He was happy to have Harumiko by his side.
