I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 100 Why is she so skilled!

Hanase Shion was still stunned, racking her brains but unable to figure out why there were so many pairs of shoes that looked like Sato Wakaba's in the shoe cabinet.
Sato Wakaba, who had just finished cleaning the house, came out and greeted everyone naturally, "Hey, everyone's here! Welcome. What would you like to drink? Ice or hot?"

This time, not only Hane Shion, but everyone else was stunned.

Everyone looked at Sato Wakaba, who was barefoot, wearing slippers, an apron, and had her beautiful golden hair tied into a bun at the back of her head.

They all felt that no matter how she dressed or spoke, she looked like the hostess of this house.

"Ah, that's fine, as long as it's ice cold."

Among the group, Yuuki Tsukimeng, the president, was quick-witted and spoke first, preventing the atmosphere from falling into silence.

After looking at each other, everyone quickly agreed: "Same for me, iced is fine."

"Well, please sit down!"

Sato Wakaba nodded and asked everyone to sit down.

Then he turned and walked straight to the kitchen, skillfully took out the cup from the cabinet, and then opened the refrigerator door.

After a quick glance, he turned to the people in the living room and said, "Sorry, I forgot to buy Coke. There's only barley tea in the refrigerator. Let's make do with this for now. Oh, Ah Shu, let's put the gifts in the closet next to the dining table. They take up too much space on the coffee table."

Sato Wakaba's extremely skilled posture left everyone stunned.

Although they are neighbors, their relationship is well known to be quite close and ambiguous.

But, she seems to be too familiar with everything about Sakurai Itsuki's family, right?

It’s hard to tell whether this is the Sakurai family or the Sato family.

Just as Hanase Shion's brain had almost completely shut down, expressing her complete confusion about this scene, Sakurai Itsuki looked at Hanase Shion's large bag of ingredients and was also a little confused: "What do you mean by this?"

Everyone's gifts of comfort were fruits, biscuits, tea and the like, but this one had both vegetables and meat, which was a bit unconventional.

"Humph, what do you care what I bring? I'm only here out of courtesy!"

Feeling that her worldview was on the verge of collapse, Hane Shion was confused and shocked, but she still put on her usual unapproachable appearance.

It is really hard to imagine that she is the girl with a red face, lowered head, and soft voice who was standing there that morning with Sakurai Itsuki.

"Hahaha, the gift Shiyin gave me is very practical."

Sato Wakaba came out of the kitchen with tea in her hand and smiled. After placing it on the coffee table, she came over to take a look.

"Not bad, it's just enough to add two dishes to tonight, isn't that great? Oh, by the way, I'll show you my cooking skills for dinner tonight!"

Sato Wakaba took the bag of carefully selected ingredients from Hane Shion from Sakurai Itsuki, winked at everyone with pride, and then hummed a little tune and went into the kitchen.

And looked at Sato Wakaba's back as she walked into the kitchen.

Shion Hane felt a huge sense of frustration coming over her heart, making it seem like she couldn't breathe.

Are you kidding me?
Why is she so skilled?!
What happened to those shoes?
How long had that guy stayed in his house without her knowing?

"Will Ruoye cook by herself? I'm so looking forward to it!" Yuuki Yuemeng hurriedly praised her.

"Speaking of which, why do I feel like I've walked into the Sato household? Just how close are you guys?"

Kojima Haruna dresses very masculine and speaks in a straightforward manner.

She didn't notice that Hanase Shion's expression looked a little strange, and she complained directly.

Yuuki Tsukimeng turned her head subtly and looked at Hane Shion.

Hane Shion quickly picked up a cup of barley tea and put it into her mouth, trying hard to act as if she didn't care at all, and tried to divert her attention and calm herself down.

Unfortunately, this wasn't bitter wine, and even if it went down my throat, it couldn't suppress the pain in my heart. Sakurai Itsuki, whose fever had almost subsided, sat down and chatted with everyone: "Ah, because this is the Sato family, it's also my home, right?"

"Cough cough cough!" Hane Shion, who was drinking barley tea to cover herself up, choked when she heard the words.

"Shion, are you okay?"

Feeling like the sky was falling again, Hane Shion quickly took out some toilet paper, wiped her mouth in a mess, and shook her head.

"Have you all progressed this far?"

Shinichi Kojima widened his eyes and exclaimed, thinking that no wonder she looked like the hostess, it seemed like she was the real hostess!
If they are living together, what’s the difference between them and a married couple?

"No, that's not what you think! We didn't tell anyone because we knew we would be misunderstood." Sato Wakaba, who was busy in the kitchen, also heard the exclamation and quickly explained.

"We're actually neighbors, just on the upper and lower floors. This floor is considered a common area." Sakurai Itsuki took a sip of barley tea and added, "It's like sharing a house. The third and second floors are actually suites with their own bathrooms."

"Oh, it's similar to the mixed dormitories that international students at our university often rent, where a single-family house is converted into individual rooms, except yours is a higher-end version."

Yuuki Tsukimeng nodded. It was quite common for male and female students to live together in universities in Tokyo.

Although it may be a little awkward occasionally, in Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable, most of the time people can only tolerate the awkwardness and cannot be too picky.

"But the term 'neighbor' is a bit far-fetched. Wouldn't roommate be more appropriate?"

"Because we go to school together, there are already a lot of strange rumors in school. If we say we live together, I don't know how much it will spread." Sakurai Itsuki said. "After all, we are not dating."

"You two are really not dating?" asked Yuuki Tsukimeng.

"No, we're just neighbors, or maybe comic assistants, I guess. Those are just rumors. I even told you we live together, so if we were really dating, there's no need to hide it from you."

Sakurai Itsuki answered the question straightforwardly, thinking that he was being labeled a nice guy every day, and then glanced at Sato Wakaba who was washing vegetables in the kitchen.

She lowered her voice and whispered, "Besides, if she really wanted to date me, with Sato Wakaba's personality, she would definitely show off like crazy, so it's just a rumor!"

Everyone twitched their lips as they listened to Sakurai Itsuki's "boasting", but they couldn't refute it.

He is quite handsome and debuted as a cartoonist at the age of seventeen, so he is indeed an object of show-off.

Only Hanase Shion spoke up: "Heh, you're always so arrogant, it's disgusting. If a guy like you really dated Wakaba, you'd be the one showing off."

Hane Shion, who had originally felt completely hopeless, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

People always compromise, and Hane Shion is no exception.

If you tell her first that you two are roommates living on the same floor, eating and living together, going to school together, and your relationship is quite ambiguous.

Then she would definitely feel pain in her heart and be unable to accept it.

But if you first tell Hane Shion that they may have been living together and living like a young married couple, then tell her that they are just sharing a house.

Although I still feel sad, it is not that difficult to accept in comparison.

Everyone looked at Hane Shion with subtle expressions as she once again made her classic tsundere speech.

Hanase Shion continued, "But our rumors are indeed outrageous. To be honest, you may not believe it, but there are rumors in our school that I have feelings for this guy!"

When everyone heard this, their expressions became even more subtle, thinking that this didn't seem like a rumor?
On the contrary, you seem to be trying to hide the truth.

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Hanase Shion felt inexplicably guilty. "Besides, there are even worse things than this! Some of them actually said that I was competing with Ruoye for a man! Don't you think that's outrageous? How is this guy worth it? They are absolutely crazy! It's really infuriating!"

Everyone in the club had a more tense expression than the other.

It was Yuuki Tsukimeng who gently patted Hanase Shion's hand and said with a gentleness that even carried a hint of pity: "Ahem, let's change the subject, Shion."
