The Top Idol Next Door Can't Help But Crave My Guilty Pleasure Meals-Chapter 1Volume .5 - Ill Make You My Fan!
ROUND 1 – I’ll Make You My Fan! 5
First, cut the ‘Platinum Pork’ into thin slices, about five centimeters wide, and blanch them in boiling water. This will remove the excess fat, making even pork belly refreshing to eat.
Next, throw sesame oil, garlic paste, and ginger paste I brought from my house into a heated frying pan.
Once the aroma starts to rise, add in the diagonally sliced green onions, which were also stored in Tupperware from my home refrigerator.
Once they’ve slightly softened, add the pork belly that was boiled earlier and mix everything together with a spatula while occasionally shaking the pan.
Glancing sneakily at the low table behind me, I noticed Sasaki-san observing me intermittently while maintaining her seiza posture.
She resembled a stray cat showing interest in a cat toy, torn between instinct and caution.
It seems it’s true that humans cannot resist the allure of meat and spices.
Now, it’s time to finish up. I drizzle the special sauce—a mix of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and Chinese seasonings—over the sea of meat.
With a sizzling ovation, an appetite-stimulating flavor fills the room.
Glancing back again, I notice that the distance between Sasaki-san and me has closed by about fifty centimeters.
With that, the ingredients are complete.
Next up is the preparation of white rice, the absolute meat companion.
Since we can’t afford to cook rice from scratch now, I will use packaged rice this time.
I microwave the rice and shape it into a bowl form in the center of a pitch-black bowl, not forgetting to sandwich some seaweed in between.
Then, I heap a generous amount of meat from the frying pan onto it and add two slices of pickled daikon as a palate cleanser——
“Sutadon Pork Bowl, done.”
As I prepare the chopsticks and turn around, Sasaki-san hastily retreats and returns to her original position.
“Come on, eat it while it’s hot.”
Steam wafts gently from the bowl as I place it on the table.
Sasaki-san looks up at me while firmly biting her lip, her gaze sharp and intimidating as if she was a noble knight captured by a demon.
“Don’t make me say it again. I absolutely won’t eat it—”
-Grrrowl.
Completely different from when I heard it in the hallway, the beast in her stomach was now baring its true nature. Sasaki-san, as if struck by an electric shock, suddenly clutched her stomach and locked eyes with the pork bowl.
Then, a little devil appeared in the room (Me).
“Come on, come on, it’s a pork bowl made with brand-name meat. The grilled parts smell so good~”
“I must resist…”
“There’s plenty of meat, so you can have seconds~”
“Patience, patience…”
“There’s also mayonnaise and doubanjiang for changing the flavor~”
“Patience——!”
I came to deeply respect a girl named Sasaki Yuzuki.
A teenage girl with a big appetite, struggling valiantly against meat, white rice, and bowls.
The pain of being deprived of the common human pleasure of eating is something I can’t even begin to imagine.
“——Then, I’ll use my trump card.”
I raised the embodiment of white life that I had been hiding in my right hand.
“…!”
Sasaki-san’s eyes widened in surprise.
This five centimeters in diameter object doesn’t possess much power on its own.
However, it is said that its power can increase by dozens to hundreds of times when combined with other food.
Its true identity is a chicken egg.
First, I used chopsticks to make a slight indentation in the center of the rice bowl.
Then, I cracked the egg by tapping it against the edge of the table and placed both thumbs into the crack.
Suddenly, a force pressed down on my arm from the left.

“…No. W-wait, please stop…”
Sasaki-san’s eyes were slightly moist as she took my arm.
I’m sorry, Sasaki-san.
I passed the egg to my right hand and assumed the same stance as a forkball.
“Stop it! Please! Anything but that…”
When I spread my thumb, index finger, and middle finger outward, a yellow devil descends from inside the shell.
-Plop.
An that moment, Sasaki-san’s mentality collapsed.
“Aaaaaaaaaahhh──!!”
Sasaki-san held the bowl with her left hand and plunged the chopsticks into the pork bowl with momentum.
The way she gazes at the clump of meat and rice lifted with the chopsticks evoked the image of a reunion with a long-lost family.
“Ahh… Aaahhhhh…”
Before long, the pork bowl was sucked into her small mouth.
The upper and lower lips met, and chewing began. As if to confirm, as if to remember, it was savored quietly. The abundant fat of the meat glistened and wet the thin, cherry-colored lips.
After swallowing with a gulp, the next moment.
“…Aaaannhhhhhhhh♥♥”
A meltingly tender voice rivaling the braised pork belly escaped from Sasaki-san’s lips.
“…?”
I couldn’t hide my bewilderment at the sudden sweet roar that echoed through the room.
“I can’t… I can’t take it anymore…♥”
Her behavior, her expression, everything was reversed.
Her eating speed suddenly increased, and the egg and sauce richly entwined with the meat & rice were sliding down Sasaki-san’s throat as if racing each other.
“The fatty yet refreshing pork is gently coated by the egg, making it slide down with the rice so smoothly…♥ The bold punch of garlic and the refreshing zing of ginger come at me, accelerating my appetite the more I eat♥——”
Sasaki-san becomes eloquent enough to make a food critics blush. Her eyes are completely enraptured.
Could it be that I have unleashed a terrible monster?
“——The crispiness of the green onions with the aroma of sesame oil is comforting as it wafts up with every bite… The seaweed laid between the rice asserts its presence firmly, with everything enhancing each other… The yellow of the egg, the brown of the meat, the white of the rice. This contrast is practically an aurora. Ahh, who would have thought you could do stargazing inside a bowl of rice…♥”
” … “
“The taste change with doubanjiang is nice♥ The mellow ingredients become spicy and tight, making you want to pick up your chopsticks again♥ …And just when your stomach lets its guard down, the creaminess of mayonnaise comes back♥”
I was sure I had cooked off all the alcohol from the cooking sake, but here’s a pretend drunk in front of me.
I’ve seen many men with this kind of buzz at my parents’ izakaya.
“Hehe, I haven’t forgotten about you Takuan-san (Daikon Radish.)♥ I saved it for halftime♥ Mmm, the crunchy sound that echoes deep in the ears is fun. Since the sweetness and saltiness are mild, you can focus on the texture of the radish♥”
Two chopsticks are overloaded with pork and rice.
Sasaki-san opens her mouth wide and eagerly transports my special sutadon pork bowl into her mouth.
Munch- munch- crunch- crunch- chomp- chomp-
Puff- puff- chew- chew- slurp- slurp-
Munch- munch- crunch- crunch-, crunch-
Fluff- fluff- puff- puff- sizzle- sizzle- sizzle-
Clank-
“Give me another serving!”
With an empty bowl in hand, Sasaki-san had a grain of rice stuck to the corner of her mouth.
Oblivious to it, Sasaki-san requested a second serving of pork bowl.
An idol who highly values her appearance was looking at me with the innocent and reckless gaze of a child.
