– The Little Lady Cooks for Her Husband
That morning, sunlight streamed through the kitchen window. Hana stood wearing a bunny-printed apron, her hair tied high, full of energy.
“My beloved husband! Today I’m the one cooking for you! You just sit there nicely!”
Rei, who had just entered the kitchen, paused at the doorway, his expression instantly cautious. “…Cooking?”
“Yes! I want to be the perfect wife. So just let me prepare breakfast.”
Rei glanced at the kitchen table: vegetables uncut, pots heating up, oil already splattering dangerously. The aura of disaster was palpable.
“…Hana. Are you sure you can handle this?”
Hana patted her chest. “Of course! Just watch, my beloved husband will be amazed by my cooking!”

Sweet Chaos in the Kitchen
A few minutes later…
Splash! Oil splattered, onions burned, vegetables still untouched. Hana panicked, running around frantically.
“Kyaaa! The flames are huge! Where’s my spoon? Where’s the salt?!”
Rei hurried forward, turning off the stove with a single motion. “If you keep going like this, the kitchen will be destroyed.”
Hana pouted, tears welling in her eyes. “…I just wanted to make breakfast for you. Why is everything going so wrong?”
Rei took a deep breath, then gently patted her head. “Then let’s do it together. I’ll teach you.”

Cooking Together
Rei stood behind Hana, guiding her trembling hands.
“Hold the knife like this. Don’t press too hard. Pull, then press gently.”
Hana glanced at him, blushing slightly. “…My beloved husband, we look like a couple in a cooking drama~”
Rei looked at her blankly, but the corners of his lips lifted faintly. “If that’s what you want, then consider it so.”
With Rei’s guidance, the vegetables were neatly cut. Hana cheered softly. “Yay! I did it! All thanks to you, my beloved husband!”
Rei only nodded, then transferred the ingredients to the pan. The aroma of stir-fry began to fill the kitchen.

The Final Result
Half an hour later, the table was filled with simple dishes: clear soup, stir-fried vegetables, and a rolled omelet. Hana looked at the spread like an Olympic champion.
“Look! We did it! This is the first time I really cooked for you!”
Rei sat down, took a spoon, and tasted.
A brief silence. Hana held her breath, waiting for the verdict.
“…Not bad. Actually… it’s tasty.”
Hana immediately beamed like the sun. “Really?! My beloved husband likes it?!”
Rei looked at her seriously. “Yes. Because you made it, of course I like it.”

Warm Ending
Hana sat next to Rei, gazing at him with love. “From now on… I’ll cook for you more often.”
Rei stroked her hair. “Then I’ll always be by your side. To keep the kitchen intact.”
Hana giggled, resting her head on his shoulder. “My beloved husband… I’m so happy.”
At the simple breakfast table, the newlyweds enjoyed their first meal together—a beginning of many sweet moments to come.
– The Little Lady Sneaks into Her Husband’s Office
The Atmosphere in Rei’s Office
That morning, the military headquarters buzzed with activity. Soldiers moved about, paperwork shuffled, and some typed reports. Rei sat in his office with a cold aura, signing important documents.
Suddenly… knock knock!
The door opened.
“Hello~ My beloved husband! I brought you lunch!”
All the soldiers: :)
Hana entered cheerfully, carrying a pink lunchbox. Her wide smile made the whole office freeze.
“My beloved husband, I cooked again for you! I hope you like it~”

The Office’s Reaction
The staff and soldiers exchanged glances, whispering softly.
“Oh my… she cooked again?”
“Bro, my stomach is still traumatized from last time…”
“Quiet! Don’t let it be heard, or we’ll die foolishly!”
Yet, their faces still showed stiff smiles, as if fully supporting her.

Romantic Moment in the Workplace
Rei stared at Hana for a moment, then exhaled.
“…You even sneaked into my office.”
Hana sat sweetly across from him, opening the lunchbox: rice, simple dishes, and vegetables… slightly suspicious in shape.
“Try it, okay? I made it with all my heart, my beloved husband.”
Rei took the chopsticks and tasted a bit. A brief silence.
“…Edible.”
Hana immediately shone. “Yay! I did it again!”
Outside, the soldiers covering the scene hid their faces while stifling bitter laughter.
“Edible… he said. Yet it tastes like a mysterious porridge.”
“Shut up, bro! That’s the boss’s code to please the little lady!”
“If it keeps going like this… I need sick leave.”

Comedic Gossip
After Hana left with a satisfied smile, the soldiers finally breathed in relief.
One of them held his stomach, muttering softly.
“Bro, I can’t take this if it happens every day.”
“Yes, but remember the boss’s words: never let the little lady be disappointed.”
“So… we’re victims of love?”
“…More like victims of the kitchen.”

Closing
On the other side, Rei sat on the balcony of their new home with Hana, smiling faintly, as if aware of his soldiers’ suffering. Yet he didn’t care.
As long as Hana was happy, he could handle the whole world.
– The Little Lady’s Kitchen Victims
After the Lunchbox Incident
That night, the headquarters had calmed down. But in the mess hall, a few soldiers gathered quietly. They sat exhausted, some clutching their stomachs, others staring blankly at the ceiling.
“Bro… I can still taste it from earlier. Was that soup? Or a chemistry experiment?”
“Quiet. Don’t be loud. If the little lady hears, we’re finished.”
“Seriously, I almost cried when she said, ‘Tasty, right?’ I… I almost told the truth.”
“Luckily the boss gave us the death glare. Otherwise, I’d be gone by now.”
A brief silence, then bitter laughter broke out together.

The Gossip Spreads
The next day, gossip circulated among the troops.
“I heard the boss said ‘edible.’ That means… it’s level up, right?”
“Edible doesn’t mean tasty. It’s just marital diplomacy code.”
“But honestly, I’d happily endure the kitchen torture weekly if it makes the little lady smile.”
“Agreed. Just look at the boss’s face when she comes… cold but clearly happy. Priceless.”

Additional Comedy Moment
Suddenly, a senior soldier stood.
“From today, we form the Kitchen Tolerance Unit. Our mission: eat every little lady’s dish without complaint, and smile even when our souls are screaming.”
Everyone: “YES, COMMANDER!”
They clapped softly, as if taking a secret oath. That night, the headquarters officially had new gossip: soldiers became victims of their boss & the little lady’s love.

Closing
Meanwhile, Rei
, sitting on the balcony of their new home with Hana, just smiled faintly, knowing his troops suffered. He didn’t care.
As long as Hana was happy, nothing else mattered.
