Chapter 2: Guest number 8

"Oh! Damn it Ryo!” Ellie shouted as she was slicing the onions.

“What?” Ryo said as he was busy cleaning the living room

“We forgot to buy the eggs! Which I believe is the main ingredients in making this katsudon.”

“What?! Oww. I’m so tired already.”

“Okay. Then I’ll buy it myself. It would be so embarrassing if I would ask you to, when you’re tired already….”
