Tokyo: I Sheltered the Homeless girl (1-156).

Summary

In this chapter, Sawayama Haruno takes Maki Miyazawa shopping for ingredients at a supermarket for a long-awaited cooking session. He contemplates preparing an authentic Chinese dish to correct her misconceptions about cooking, particularly regarding mapo tofu and strawberries. As they shop, Maki becomes fixated on purchasing “Okamoto” products, humorously plotting to buy a large quantity to prepare for their relationship and potentially have a child. After their shopping trip, they return home and cook dinner, which leads to a relaxing bath for Sawayama, where he reflects on his writing and decides to use the pen name "Kiriyama Dōkai" for his manuscript submission. He wraps up his ideas for the editor, hoping for a response soon. The narrative then shifts to his daily life at school, leading to a class where he observes his classmate Mine Shiori attentively engaged, contrasting his own indifference. They plan to visit the Tokyo Dojo in Chiyoda, a place rich in historical significance and a hub of talent, with Haruno reflecting on the importance of literary achievements over martial accomplishments. Upon entering the dojo, he notes its smaller-than-expected size while continuing to explore his path in literature.
