The Top Idol Next Door Can't Help But Crave My Guilty Pleasure Meals-Chapter 3Volume 2 .5 - Suzufumi no Bāka ①
ROUND 3 – Suzufumi no Bāka ① 5
“…Rosé wine.”
There it is. Mikami-sensei’s lecture on alcohol pairing with food.
“If you pair it with a fruity sweet wine, the sweetness of the wine and the umami of the canapé will surely match perfectly.”
Mikami-sensei tilts her glass sharply and begins to lecture.
“Of course, it also goes perfectly with the sparkling water that Mamori-kun prepared. But it lacks heat—it needs heat.”
Mikami-sensei swirls the remaining fruit around after she finishes her sparkling water.

“My apologies for the lack of consideration.”
“And so, here we have a mag bottle.”
“Why?”
She opened the lid and tilted the bottle with a fluid movement similar to a bartender’s.
A thick liquid appeared, filling the fruit-filled glass with a vivid peach color.
By the way, Rika was engrossed in her meal and seemingly unconcerned with Mikami-sensei’s transformation.
“Hehe, it’s like a sangria since there are fruits in it. The cool aroma harmonized with the wine wafted through my nose.”
Speaking like a sommelier at a wine tasting, Mikami-sensei brought the glass to her lips, followed by a big bite of the canapé.
“…Hoooo…”
Is this person practicing qi gong?
“With the astringency of red wine and the refreshing taste of white wine, Rosé wine is the perfect drink for canapés with various toppings, whether they’re Japanese or Western. It goes perfectly with both meat and fish… It was a good decision to have it stashed in my bag for just such an occasion…”
The fact that she had prepared for such a moment left no doubt that she was already addicted to alcohol.
It’s a wonder she managed to keep it together in front of the other students.
Anyway, it seemed that both Rika and Mikamisensei were enjoying the canapés.
Watching the two of them enjoy their snacks, I felt my gears shift up.
I moved to the kitchen and stretched my shoulder. There was cream cheese left in the fridge, and I thought about making something dessert-like with canned fruit.
If I’m going to do it, I might as well make bruschetta, not just canapés.
It’s just a matter of rubbing garlic on toasted bread and drizzling olive oil, so it doesn’t take much more effort or ingredients.
Maybe I should just go ahead and boil some pasta for an early dinner, and since I have the chance, I’d like to try making a terrine.
That means I’ll run out of ingredients and need to go shopping——
“Kyaaah!”
Suddenly, Rika’s scream came from the living room.
“Suzu, help-help!”
“What happened!?”
I hurried back to the living room to find two tentacles wrapped around Rika’s upper body.
“Kishibe-san is quite cute too huh… Well, not quite as cute as me, but….”
With her face flushed, Mikami-sensei was wriggling her fingertips like a snake sizing up its prey. A mag bottle with its lid open was rolling on the floor next to the cushion.
Did she really finish the whole bottle in such a short time?
“Your style is good, especially these two soft hills that make me want to climb them without a second thought… But still, I think Yuzuki-chan’s twin peaks are the best… Ah, if only the day would come when I could overlook the scenery from the top of that place, I wouldn’t mind committing any grave sin…”
Rika’s tie was undone, and more buttons on her blouse were open than usual.
Was it just by chance, or perhaps…
I cut between the two and peeled off the sloppy Mikami-sensei.
She likes her drink but can’t handle her alcohol at all. Her eyelids are moving up and down, and she looks like she’s about to fall asleep any moment.
“I’m sorry to have called you here due to our family’s circumstances, but let’s call it a day today. Or rather, just get out of here quickly.”
I don’t mind letting her rest, but it would be a problem if word got out that she ‘slept at a student’s house’.
With Mikami-sensei’s limp, gel-like arm over my shoulder, I help her stand up.
She might sober up a little if she gets some fresh air while waiting for the taxi.
As a small act of kindness, I also put a bottle of mineral water and a turmeric drink in her bag.
“Ah, I’ll help too.”
“Thanks. Then, please hold sensei’s bag for me.”
It was the moment I opened the front door with my unsteady steps.
“…Ah.”
Right in front of the door, I locked eyes with two women.
It was Yuzuki and Emoto-san.
“Mamori-san… What is this…?”
Emoto-san’s gaze shifted from me to Mikami-sensei, then to Rika, one by one.
And then, as if realizing something, her body began to tremble.
“Mamori-san, how could you! Not satisfied with Yuzuki, you’re making moves on multiple women!”
Her suspicion quickly turned into anger, her eyes were filled with utter contempt.
“No, you’ve got it wrong! This is just a parent-teacher-teacher conference!”
“Who would believe that!? Who has a conference in such indecent attire!”
Emoto-san pointed at Rika, whose clothes were disheveled.
Her chest was exposed so much that her underwear was nearly visible.
Hmm, that’s one strike.
After being pointed out, Rika nonchalantly buttoned up her blouse as if nothing had happened, saying, “Oh, I forgot.”
Slung over my shoulder, Mikami-sensei was completely drunk and didn’t even seem to notice her favorite idol in front of her.
Instead, she had been pressing her upper body against me for a while.
“Munya… That was the best party ever…”
“Party!?”
Emoto-san clutched her arms around her body and stepped back bit by bit At Mikami-sensei’s comment.
There was no doubt a party of the more weird kind was taking place In her mind.
Two strikes.
“Yuzuki, help!”
Despite my desperate plea, Yuzuki’s eyes were icy cold, like a newlywed who had just witnessed her spouse’s infidelity.
“…Suzufumi, you idiot.” (Suzufumi no baka)
With a huff, Yuzuki turned away and entered room 810.
Three strikes. Batter change.
“You’re the worst! I knew I couldn’t entrust Yuzuki’s care to you!”
With a sigh, I resolved to ensure that any rescheduled parent-teacher-student conferences would definitely take place at school.
