Author’s note: Thank you for reading!
It has been a long time…time passes very quickly (sigh).
This fic was set for New-Year, but don’t look at calendar!
Anyway, please forgive me to any miss spellings, grammars, words or something. It’s self beta.
I’m very glad if you suggest any mistakes, I’ll try to fix it as best I can.

“Asami, will you go somewhere around new-year?”
“No, why?”
Akihito placed plates -topped with salad, toast and fried egg with bacon- on the dining table.
“Nothing so important…, I’m just thinking of getting ready for meals around new year.”
“Don’t bother about me, or do you want a feast of new-year? Shall I order some feast box?”
“NO!! Not at all!!”
Akihito shook his head.
Just like last year, but on 26th of December, Akihito had the final meeting of this year with Haruka and Sumire.
“Happily, we are granted another term of a year for ‘Sweet things’!”
Haruka -the editor of ‘Sweet things’- said with smile.
“Thank you for your grate job, Sumire, if it weren’t you, we couldn’t have done it. Your recipe of sweets is very popular with readers.”
Sumire - the recipe creator - shook her head.
“It’s due to photograph by Takaba-san and your planning ability, Haruka-san. But I’m glad if I could help little bit of it.”
“Don’t say so modestly, Sumire-san. Well, I consider adding a little twist next year. Now we have just finished ‘St. Valentine’s Day special issue’ has been used men’s model instead of women on every other months, but I’m going to try another challenge in next summer. That time, I’ll request some elite businessmen for interview and photography. I think, Ishikawa Gogyou of IT industry, Uchida Kouzo of finance or Asami Ryuichi of amusements.”
Akihito coughed badly.
“Are you fine?”
Sumire looked in Akihito anxiously.
Akihito nodded with couging.
“I, I’m…fine, but will readers be interested in such people? Readers are thought to be young, around twenty women, isn’t it?”
Haruka glared coughing Akihito.
“Do you look down on young women, Takaba-kun? Young women are paying attention to economic things, especially about good looking businessman. Now I’ve just got started, but I think I can tell you more detail at first meeting next year. ”
Gotten rice-cake cracker from Sumire and strong anxiety from Haruka for New Year’s presents, Akihito left the building of publisher.
On New Year’s Eve, Akihito held a party with his friends at the same pub as usual. He had been very careful for his alcohol consumption, so he can manage coming home without help from anyone.
Nevertheless, Akihito was sacrificed for a wish them good luck in the coming year by Asami.
Next late morning -or middle between morning and noon-, Akihito was preparing breakfast.
“Oh? Don’t you go to work?”
Seeing Asami dressed casually, Akihito asked curiously.
“Well…”
“I see, please take your seat, I almost done.”
Dining room filled with aroma of Japanese stock.
Akihito brought a bowl of rice-cake soup and a large white plate of various dish.
Each portion on the plate was very small, and many of it was traditional new-year’s dish.
Asami waited Akihito brought his bowl and plate.
“It’s isn’t boxed, but you don’t mind, do you?”
“No.”
The sight of breakfast is same as usual, Akihito was talking little things in daily life, and Asami return short response.
But when Asami almost finished his plate, Akihito glared him.
“Eat up everything on your plate. That’s for ‘good luck’.”
Asami’s chopsticks stopped.
“That’s not so sweet! Ma’am kindly gave me her special stewed black bean* and other dishes, since I can’t cook deliciously with small batch.”
“……”
Akihito tossed two out of five beans into his mouth from Asami’s plate.
“If you leave anything, your lunch is rice-cake with sweet sweet toasted soybean flour.”
“……”
Very frowned Asami picked up black bean with chopsticks.
In the end, considering he had used his mouth freshener - named Akihito -, definitely the dishes had been not so bad.
Stewed black bean*: Usually called “Black (Kuro) - bean (mame)”, one of the traditionally Japan’s new-year dishes. The taste is very sweet.
