285, Mingxiu plank road (thanks to Ward, the handsome Debu, the leader of the undeserved virtue)
"Then -"
"Cheers~~~!"
Puff.
Taking the center of the two dining tables as the center of the circle, nine disposable paper cups clinked together and then separated.
Everyone drank fruit juice instead of drinks and mingled with each other.
The table is filled with sumptuous dishes.
Thanks to the high-end ingredients that Kenta Uchiyama brought in under the arrangement of his grandfather, the dinner recipe was based on the original recipe and added a sukiyaki dish.
The main dishes are: Wagyu beef matsutake sukiyaki, Japanese ginger yaki, octopus dumplings, vegetable salad, croquettes, fried pork cutlets, tempura, grilled salmon, and pan-fried dumplings.
The main dishes are pork soba noodles and bacon and egg pasta, which are also served with hot radish and amberjack soup.
"Gudu Gudu, Guha——! Yeah~~ You mean today's dinner is too luxurious? It's awesome——!" Yamaguchi drank the juice in one gulp and said with bright eyes.
"Really! It's amazing, but it would be even better if the staple food is ramen." Takei, who was sitting next to him, nodded his head hurriedly, causing Yoshiko from across the street to complain.
"I think you're basically addicted to ramen, Takei-san."
Then he turned around and asked, "Speaking of which, is this beef A5? Kenta."
"Huh?"
Kenta Uchiyama, who was suddenly asked, couldn't help but was slightly stunned, but he still answered: "No, it should be A4. Grandpa said that because he didn't have time to prepare in advance, this is all he had at home... I'm sorry."
After saying that, he lowered his head inexplicably.
Yoshiko: "Eh? Wait, why do you need to apologize? Eh?"
Kenta: "No, that's it..."
"Maybe you feel embarrassed because you have failed everyone's expectations? In this regard, Kenta is still the same as before." Mina Motoyama, who was sitting next to her, explained with a smile.
"What——? It's strange that you would be embarrassed about something like this."
"Hmm, but it's normal for a junior high school student, right? Don't you think Takashi has it?"
"Idiot, I never did that kind of thing even when I was in elementary school."
"So, that means Kenta is an elementary school student?"
"Ah, that's too much, you two."
Kako looked at the playful Mangkhut brothers with a straight face, pointed to the side and said: "No matter how childish other people's reactions are, they shouldn't be called elementary school students, right? Even if they have just entered junior high school, they are still considered junior high school students!"
Right? Kenta."
Σ(?д?llll)
He glanced at Kenta Uchiyama, whose face turned pale and speechless because of these words.
Yamaguchi laughed out loud: "As expected of you, Kako. You can say such things so easily. You have such a poisonous mouth."
"I mean..." Takei also suppressed a smile and reminded: "Kenta is in the third grade of junior high school, and he will take the exam next year, so he has not just entered junior high school."
"...Eh? True or false? Wait, I'm sorry Kenta! I accidentally made a mistake." Kako clasped her hands together and lowered her head slightly.
"Oh, oh...it's okay." Kenta Uchiyama responded with a reluctant smile.
"Uh... But your expression doesn't look like this at all. It must have caused you trouble. I'm really sorry!"
Seeing this, Kato Yusuke said casually: "Okay, he just has such an awkward character, so you don't have to take it too seriously, Yoshiko."
"Ah, is that so?"
"Who are you talking about, who is awkward!?"
Kato Yusuke smiled faintly and ignored him.
"Here, Yusuke, please~" Sayu put a piece of tempura into his bowl.
"Thank you, but I can do it myself."
"Hey hey hey."
Yamaguchi's eyes suddenly widened, "Wow, I actually took away the shrimps as soon as I came up. Damn it! I want it too."
As he spoke, he picked one off the plate with serving chopsticks.
"Ah, give me one too, Xiao."
"And I."
"Then I also..."
Takei, Yoshiko, and Kenta joined in one after another.
"You should do it yourself!"
"Everyone can eat together~" Motoyama Mina said with a smile to the group of people making a fuss.
At this time——
"Let's have some fried dumplings, Kato-san." Hasumi Kanoko smiled and put a fried dumpling into someone's bowl.
"...?" Kato Yusuke couldn't help but raise his eyes and look to the right.
Two tables put together form a rectangular shape.
The elder Motoyama Mina and Hasumi-sensei sit at opposite ends at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock respectively.
Take the latter as the standard and follow the clockwise direction.
To her left were Sayu, Yusuke Kato, Yamaguchi and Takei.
Then follow the counterclockwise direction.
On the right are Kei, Yoshiko, and Uchiyama Kenta.
Although he was a little surprised, Kato Yusuke still said thank you to someone else for picking up food for him.
Teacher Hasumi, on the other hand, smiled and waved his hand, saying no, then he lowered his head and ate as if nothing had happened.
So Yusuke was also ready to use chopsticks to enjoy the kindness from his lover and teacher.
"Oh, you seem to be doing something interesting."
Ridiculous words came from the other side: "Then I'll give this to you too. Thank you for inviting us to your home ~ Kato-san."
A piece of fried pork cutlet drizzled with a little sauce was put into his bowl by Yoshiko Himekawa.
"Um?"
Kato Yusuke raised an eyebrow at this and complained: "Rather than saying that I invited you, it's more of a decision made by you without permission, right?"
"Hey~~~ At a time like this, shouldn't we act like "I'm glad everyone can come," right?"
"If anything, I just think that you and Yamaguchi and the others have the same idea. Is this like attracting like?"
"...Kato-kun, you are so merciless. Obviously you could be more popular in school, but forget it, anyway, I have already thanked you with fried pork cutlets." Yoshiko said with a sigh, and then bumped Megumi with her shoulder.
.
He said plausibly: "Then what should Xiaohui choose?"
"Huh?"
"Tempura, fried dumplings, and fried pork cutlets have already been selected, so you can only choose the others for Kato-san. Let's play together~!"
"Huh? Even if you say so..."
The girl who had been waiting quietly to see what happened obviously didn't expect to be involved, and her expression seemed a little troubled.
Then he raised his eyes and glanced at the opposite side.
They saw Sayumasa pouring the drink Kato Yusuke drank into his cup without realizing it, and giving him a new cup of oolong tea.
"ah……"
Hui couldn't help but let out a small groan and turned to look at her side, her eyes conveying the meaning of "You hurt me."
"What's wrong?"
Kako, who had not made any other movements since the initial bump, tilted her head, her face full of confusion.
"Nothing." The girl responded calmly, reaching out and picking up a chubby octopus ball with her chopsticks.
Facing Yoshiko's following eyes, this small octopus ball drew an arc in the air... and finally fell into someone's bowl without any accident, and was squeezed together with the tempura and fried dumplings inside.
"I'm sorry we caused you any trouble, Kato-san." Megumi said softly as he took back his chopsticks.
Although the sound was not loud, the beautiful tone still reached several people's ears clearly.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Whoa whoa--!
Kako on the side almost screamed, her lips that she pressed hard turned into a cute wavy line, she lowered her head and clenched her fist secretly.
Kato Yusuke's chopsticks couldn't help but tremble.
"Huh?" Sayu said softly and turned to look over.
Ignoring Kako, who had her head lowered and unable to see her expression, her eyes stayed directly on Kei's face.
"?"
The girl tilted her head slightly in confusion and looked at her calmly.
Neither of them looked at Kato Yusuke, but the subtle atmosphere surrounding him made him feel inexplicably on pins and needles.
If Mr. Hasumi’s help in picking up the dishes before can be regarded as the teacher’s care, and Yoshiko Himekawa’s help in picking up the dishes can be seen as a friend’s joke, then when it’s Megumi’s turn... it should also be regarded as the care of a friend, right?
If the two girls hadn't looked at each other like this...
Hasumi Kanoko, who also had her head lowered but had been observing the surroundings with her peripheral vision, stopped moving her hands. Using the action of drinking a drink, she began to secretly watch the reactions of the two or three parties with interest.
Sayu was curious with a bit of inquiry, Megumi was indifferent and a bit magnanimous, and Kato Yusuke had an expressionless face with a dull and deep look on his face.
Even so, with his good looks and dressing up, not to mention he is really good-looking...
Hasumi Kanoko couldn't help but blush slightly when she thought of this. She crossed her two slender legs under the table and kicked someone's knee with a small foot wearing a disposable slipper.
Kato Yusuke, who was thinking about what to say, looked over.
"Didn't I tell you all?"——The other party, who seemed to have glanced to the left and right casually, indicated with his eyes, and there was a bit of joking in it.
The curve of his lips that looked like a smile made Kato Yusuke slightly stunned at first, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly in displeasure.
The result was that it seemed to arouse the other party's rebellious spirit.
According to Hasumi Kanoko's plan, she originally wanted to use this unexpected situation to make Kato Yusuke realize that something was wrong, and then take advantage of the situation to help rescue the situation.
But she didn't expect that someone not only didn't understand her thoughts at all, but even showed that expression to herself.
He then kicked him under the table with some frustration.
Originally, he just kicked, but Kato Yusuke would normally have nothing to do except make fun of him. After all, he has seen the embarrassing side of the opponent when he loses control of his emotions, so he naturally has a certain understanding of his character.
But at this critical juncture, he, who was already worried, was not so gentle.
When the opponent kicked again, he grabbed the foot and held the five-finger ring around the ankle, making it unable to move.
"ah…!"
Hasumi Kanoko suddenly let out an exclamation, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
"teacher……?"
"Excuse me, what happened?"
Hui and Saichi then spoke.
"Well……?"
After glancing to the left and right, Lian Jian teacher shook his head quickly, "...It's okay, it's just that suddenly... um!"
Before he finished speaking, another exclamation came from his mouth.
So he quickly lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hands.
A numbing feeling came from the instep where the slippers were quietly taken off, as if countless ants were crawling.
This time even Yamaguchi and the others looked over.
"What happened?"
"What happened?"
Although they didn't speak, Motoyama Mina and Uchiyama Kenta also cast their eyes on her.
"Ah, your face is so red, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Kako who asked this question was about to stand up from her seat, but was immediately stopped by the other party.
"Okay, it's okay!"
"Eh! Uh..."
Teacher Hasumi slowly raised his head and said to the frightened Kako and everyone: "I just have a sudden toothache. I'm sorry, everyone."
While speaking, he was still covering his cheeks, and in his mind he was carefully identifying the strokes on his insteps.
The word "help" gradually came to mind.
I couldn't help but feel annoyed, but I didn't look at anyone.
Instead, he sat up with his butt slightly forward and faced the crowd with a forced smile.
"What, it turns out it's a toothache." Yamaguchi nodded his head with a genuine look on his face.
"Did you eat too many sweets?" Takei asked curiously, but was retorted by Lai Jiazi.
"Idiot, that's what you only do, right?"
"Hey! Takei is Takei, and I am me. I don't like sweets very much, so don't confuse me."
The three of them started bickering.
When Mina Motoyama saw nothing happened, she also asked Kenta Uchiyama next to her about the matter.
So the situation was divided into two halves again.
To use an inappropriate word to describe it, it would be "Shura Field" vs "Idle People Waiting".
Oh...and there is also a hostage who was innocently involved.
Hasumi Kanoko thought a little aggrieved, but it didn't show on her face.
Seeing that she was fine, Sayu turned his eyes to the other side again and smiled softly, "Does it mean that the relationship between Kei and Yusuke turns out to be very good? I have no idea."
Hidden behind the cordial tone, it seemed like there was some kind of sharp instrument facing each other.
In this regard, Hui seemed not to feel anything at all, and her expression remained as indifferent and calm as before.
He replied calmly: "Hmm... If you want to say that, I am probably Kato-san's assistant. After all, I am the vice president of the student union. Does this count as a good relationship?"
"I don't know, what do Hui think?" Sayu asked.
"Sorry, I don't have many friends, so I don't know very well." Hui said, shaking her head gently.
The two people's eyes never escaped each other, they continued to explore and patrol, and continued to deal with each other calmly.
"Then...if the relationship is not good, why would you pick up food for Yusuke?" Sayu continued to ask.
Little did he know that as long as he moved his legs a little at this moment, he would be able to touch the slender legs that were suspended in mid-air.
Kato Yusuke couldn't help but cough slightly: "Well, didn't Yoshiko also say that it was invited as a thank you..."
"--oh?"
Before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted.
"Sorry, I'm not asking Yusuke, I'm asking Miss Hui." Sayu smiled gently at him and immediately turned back, waiting for the other party's answer.
Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment and looked diagonally to the right.
What caught his eye was Kanoko Hasumi with her head lowered like a timid quail, looking aloof as if she was deaf to what was going on outside the window.
