Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 366 Shura Field ()
"It's really lively today."

Sakayanagi ate another small tomato, even though she had just said it was very sour.

Ryuuen had no idea what Sakayanagi was saying, as there was a hint of sarcasm in the tone of her voice.

"Who knows, maybe today is a good day, suitable for weddings or funerals."

Fortunately, Sakayanagi was knowledgeable and knew that Ryuuen was talking about the almanac.

After Horikita opened the door, it was another familiar person.

"Please come in."

Horikita raised the corners of her mouth. Contrary to her attitude towards Sakayanagi just now, Horikita was quite friendly towards the newcomer. She opened the shoe cabinet and saw the same black slippers as Ryuuen. They were bought together with Ryuuen before, but Ryuuen didn't get rid of them. Horikita felt a little happy in her heart, and then took out a set of spare slippers from the side.

"Thank you, Horikita-san. The black slippers are mine. You don't need the spare slippers."

Horikita, who was laughing originally, couldn't laugh anymore. It was not necessary to change shoes when coming to Ryuen's room. Horikita didn't change into slippers when she came in because she had to cook. Sakayanagi just barged in, so naturally she didn't change into slippers either.

Horikita couldn't be wrong, the pair of slippers that Ichinose was pointing at were his, and he felt like a vein on his forehead was about to pop out.

"Excuse me, those slippers?"

The pink-haired, big-breasted girl who looked harmless covered her mouth and said, "Well, actually, these are Ryuuen-kun's slippers. He just lent them to me."

Ichinose waved her hands to explain, as if she was afraid that Horikita would misunderstand something. She could just be honest and there was no need to explain anything to Horikita. But because of this, it was difficult for Horikita to have any hostility towards her.

The clever Horikita had naturally thought of the cause and effect. It must be that bastard Ryuen who gave his slippers to Ichinose. Ryuen himself didn't care about this detail. Didn't Ichinose notice that the size of the slippers was wrong? Ryuen couldn't wear such small slippers.

Horikita looked at the harmless Ichinose and began to doubt whether this kid was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

While Lu Bei was still thinking, Ichinose had already changed his shoes and walked in.

"Hey, Sakayanagi-san is here too. Ryuuen-kun, Sakayanagi-san, good evening."

Ichinose greeted him politely at first.

Sakayanagi moved the bench a little, creating some distance between herself and Ryuuen.

"Ichinose-san, do you want to talk to Ryuen about something?"

Sakayanagi put down her chopsticks, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

Ichinose didn't answer Sakayanagi, but looked at Ryuen first. Noticing Ichinose's gaze, Ryuen, who was still eating, stopped and said, "Don't talk while you're eating, and don't talk while you're sleeping. If you have anything to say, wait until you're done eating. Have you had dinner, Honoka? If not, let's sit down and eat together. We have your favorite tempura."

Ichinose had actually eaten, but not much, so it was natural for her to sit down at this time, sitting on the chair that Horikita had just brought over.

Now, at the square table, Sakayanagi was sitting on Ryuuen's left, and Ichinose was sitting on his right, leaving only the seat opposite him empty, but there were no more chairs in Ryuuen's room.

The atmosphere became awkward, or rather, there was a strange sense of incongruity. Sakayanagi and Ichinose stopped talking and concentrated on eating. Horikita's cooking skills were really not exaggerated. Sakayanagi and Ichinose both had great appetites, but Horikita, who was hungry, could only stand and watch the three of them devour the fruits of her labor.

Robbers! Horikita was very angry, not at Sakayanagi and Ichinose, but at Ryuen who was busy eating. He was indifferent and didn't say a word to help her, just watching Sakayanagi and Ichinose bully her!

Under normal circumstances, Horikita would have looked down upon such childish behavior, but today she felt humiliated.

Even though Horikita was angry, she couldn't let herself be angry while hungry. It was just that there was no chair, but this was not a problem for Horikita. Horikita stood up with chopsticks in her hand and ate, looking down at the three of them.

Ichinose put down her chopsticks. She had already eaten and was very satisfied after tasting a few pieces of tempura.

"Horikita-san, please take my seat. I'm full."

Ichinose exudes a sweet aura, radiating the radiance of tolerance and friendship like a Madonna, but Horikita complains in her heart: "What do you mean your position! That was originally mine, and you took it away from me!"

"No, standing is fine too."

Horikita refused, she didn't want charity from others.

"Hmm, eating while standing is indeed a very novel experience. I remember there seemed to be a similar picture in the history textbook. Do you remember it, Ichinose-san?"

Sakayanagi suddenly spoke.

Ryuen only felt that Sakayanagi was very hostile to Horikita today, and her attack was very strong. The picture she mentioned was the one after the flood, when the farmer's house was destroyed, her husband and children were drowned, and there was only a small round table left in the woman's house. She could only stand alone beside the small round table in the bare house and eat weeds.

What Ryuuen could think of, Horikita and Ichinose naturally thought of as well. Ichinose avoided his gaze, she was not good at lying.

"Ah? Really? I don't remember. Maybe I've neglected my studies recently."

Horikita didn't just passively take the beating. She picked up a small tomato for Sakayanagi and said, "When you drink water, you should remember where it came from. When you are grateful, you should repay the kindness. Otherwise, you are no different from animals."

Horikita is calling out Sakayanagi. She should be grateful to the person who cooked the meal. It is inappropriate for Sakayanagi to say bad things about Horikita.

"Salad is not difficult to make. The tomatoes were grown by farmers and bought by Ryuen-kun. Your cooking skills are just icing on the cake. It doesn't matter if you don't have them."

Sakayanagi was only interested in the salad dish. She also noticed Horikita's poverty, and there were many dishes on the table, so Sakayanagi concluded that it was Ryuuen who paid for the dishes.

Unfortunately, the judgment was wrong. Sakayanagi didn't know that Ryuuen paid some breakup fee to Horikita.

Horikita looked confident of winning: "Indeed, salad doesn't require much skill, but Sakayanagi made a mistake. The tomatoes were grown by farmers, but I bought them. I also washed, cut, and mixed them, and brought them to the table for you to taste. Shouldn't you thank me?"

Sakayanagi was a little surprised, but soon smiled: "Well, thank you Horikita-san for your hard work in preparing this dinner for us. I will enjoy it. I wonder how much labor fee is appropriate?"

As Sakayanagi said this, her little hand slid to Ryuuen's waist and pinched it.

This made Long Yuan's eyes widen. Eating a meal was like fighting a war. You shoot me a few times, and I shoot you a few times. Long Yuan just wanted to eat a meal quietly, but he didn't expect the firepower to burn himself.

"Although the school has no regulations in this regard, if Ryuuen-kun wants to eat food, you can come to me. I won't charge Ryuuen-kun for the food."

Ichinose also joined the battlefield. Although she had no hostility towards Sakayanagi and Horikita, Ryuuen felt a little scared of her at this moment.
