Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

No, it's surpassing An Zeliang!!

Meanwhile, Saya, sitting in the back row, looked in the direction Anze Ryo had left, her eyes filled with worry.

Even someone as gentle as Hayano-sensei is angry, so Anze-kun is definitely not going to have an easy time this time, right?

When he gets back, I need to think of a way to comfort him properly...

Seeing that Anzawa Ryo, who had helped her, was in trouble, Sayaka Mina lost her appetite and couldn't even eat the bento she had brought out, constantly praying in her heart.

Meanwhile, inside the office.

It was lunch break time, and not only students but also teachers needed to rest and eat. So when Anze Liang and Hayano entered the classroom, apart from a few teachers who brought their own lunches, most of the other teachers had gone to the cafeteria.

Upon seeing An Zeliang, the genius student, enter, the teachers who were still in the office greeted him with smiles before going to rest and have lunch.

"Anze, please have a seat."

Ms. Hayano pointed to the stool in front of her.

Seeing the serious look on the other person's face, An Zeliang pulled up a chair and sat down, asking, "Ms. Hayano, is there something you need from me?"

Although he thought that Mr. Hayano was going to lecture him, he didn't panic at all.

At this moment, Hayano Hoshiko, with a slightly serious expression, took out her phone.

"Anze, take a look at this..."

She opened the album, searched for a while, and then placed it in front of An Zeliang.

On the phone screen, a familiar character came into view: flowing pink short hair, adorable droopy eyes, and a pair of signature angel wings... Isn't that Icarus?

Anze Liang looked at Hayano-sensei with a puzzled expression.

But Hayano-sensei's expression seemed a little strange, as if she was restraining something, but the smile at the corner of her mouth...

Rong, however, could no longer restrain herself and gradually became more unrestrained, speaking with a hint of boastfulness: "Anze, how was it? Was the teacher amazing?"

"...Amazing? What's amazing about it?"

"Winning percentage! Look, look closely!"

As Ms. Hayano spoke, she zoomed in on the screenshot. It turned out that she had taken the screenshot from the hero data page. In the upper left corner, you could clearly see that Icarus had already won a full 100 games.

Furthermore, he earned the title of "All-Round Angel," which requires 100 wins, indicating that he possesses considerable skill.

But... Anze Liang looked at the data carefully and asked with a hint of surprise, "Mr. Hayano, you've played over two hundred games with Icarus in just a few days?"

Ms. Hayano immediately straightened her back proudly, causing the scarf at her collar to flutter slightly for a moment before slowly falling down to the side with a wide arc.

"Yes, during this period of time, in order to hone my skills, I have been training for several hours every night. I have finally mastered a character completely."

"Anze, are you free after school today?"

"I will take my revenge! I will torture you mercilessly!!"

"........."

Looking at Hayano-sensei, who was speaking earnestly about revenge, Yasuzawa Ryo fell silent.

Good guy.

Hayano-sensei is really addicted... He originally thought Hayano-sensei called him to the office for some education, but it turns out you're asking me to play games?

After much thought, only the phrase "not knowing whether to laugh or cry" could describe An Zeliang's state of mind at that moment.

However, considering Hayano-sensei's obsession with games, Yasuzawa Ryo felt that her behavior was quite normal, at least for her.

"Alright, I don't have anything planned for this afternoon..." With a sigh, Anze Liang accepted Hayano-sensei's invitation.

"Okay! It's settled then. Take my car home after school. My computer is all ready."

"Row."

"Okay, Anze, you go ahead and eat. I won't take up any more of your time. I also have some things to take care of."

An Zeliang nodded slightly, got up and left the office.

As soon as I stepped out of the office, I saw two figures chatting in the hallway... Nakano Aoi and Tamamo Yuki.

When Nakano Aoi saw Yasuzawa Ryo come out, she went up to him and said, "Yasuzawa-kun, are you done talking with Hayano-sensei? Is Hayano-sensei angry?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Hayano just asked me some questions about my studies."

"So that's it."

Upon hearing Anze Liang's reply, Nakano Aoi nodded slightly.

At that moment, Tamamo Yukiya, who was standing to the side, greeted him quietly, "Good afternoon, Anze-kun."

"Good afternoon, Tamamo. You look much better today."

Hearing Anze Ryo's words of concern, Tamamo Yuki blushed slightly, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Anze-kun... I caused you trouble yesterday... Um, I made some bento boxes today and would like to invite you, Nakano-kun, and the club president to eat together in the club room."

"Anze, are you free...?"

After Yuzuru finished speaking, she looked at Anze Liang with expectant eyes.

Upon hearing the invitation, An Zeliang finally understood why Tamamo Yuki was waiting for him at the stairwell... He naturally didn't refuse, since he hadn't eaten yet.

Lunch,

"Wait a moment, I also brought a bento box."

After saying something, Nakano Aoi turned and walked into the classroom. Less than a minute later, she came out carrying her lunchbox.

The three chatted as they walked towards the activity room.

At the corner, Sayana, carrying a bento box, pursed her lips and quietly watched their departing figures.

"You are here."

Inside the club room, Hoshimiya Rin sat upright on a single sofa, holding a psychology book in her hand, her legs elegantly crossed and placed to the side, her eyes quietly looking at everyone, her tone calm.

"You're a little late, did something happen?"

"Yes, Mr. Hayano had something to discuss with me, so it took a while."

As An Zeliang spoke, he found a seat and sat down without any awkwardness.

Tamamo Yuki then took out the bento box and some snacks from her bag and placed them on the table.

She spoke softly as she unpacked the bento box.

"Everyone, let's eat our bento boxes first, and then have snacks afterward..."

In the past, Yuki Tamamo would occasionally bring a lunchbox to school, which contained very little besides the cheapest rice and seaweed.

But now, the lunchbox on the table contains crispy, golden-brown pork chops, light and refreshing corn and shrimp, fluffy buttered eggs, and other kinds of food, making for a very nutritious and healthy meal.

Perhaps considering that there were more than two or three people to entertain, all the main dishes in the bento boxes were made into the shape of rice balls, which is convenient to take. They also made many different flavors, such as plum and tuna, to take care of everyone's eating habits. It was very thoughtful.

The aroma of the food wafted through the air. Nakano Aoi took a deep breath and immediately showed a greedy expression: "It's so delicious! It smells amazing too. Tamamo-san, your cooking skills are incredible!"

Hoshimiya Rin glanced at the dishes and calmly said, "This seems a bit too lavish for a lunchbox. Tamamo-san, you've just recovered from your illness and need to replenish your nutrition regularly. Don't make yourself too tired just to entertain us."

That's just the kind of personality the club president has; she speaks her mind directly. But there's also a lot of concern in her words.

"No, no... these are all home-style dishes, they can be made quickly, it's not hard work at all," Tamamo Yuki quickly waved her hand to explain.

To make it easier for everyone to eat, she also brought several sets of disposable bowls and chopsticks. While chatting with everyone, Tamamo Yuki subconsciously disassembled all the bowls and chopsticks and set them out in front of everyone, her movements very natural and casual.

"Anze, I remember you like to eat meat, so I made pan-fried pork chops that are similar to those in the cafeteria. Try them and see if they taste different from the ones in the cafeteria."

Tamamo Yuki picked up a piece of fried pork cutlet and carefully placed it in Ansawa Ryo's bowl.

"Thank you."

An Zeliang took a bite, and the taste was indeed good. The outer shell was crispy, and the pork inside was juicy, not dry or fishy, ​​and it was fresh meat.

He was slightly puzzled as to how Tamamo Yuki knew he liked to eat meat. However, it wasn't a good time to ask, so Yasuzawa Ryo swallowed the meat and said, "Hmm, it tastes good, like a home-cooked meal."

"I'm glad Anze likes it!"

Tamamo Yuki immediately broke into a happy smile.

Rong felt satisfied seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, and she felt fulfilled to be able to give back to everyone... She gritted her teeth and added.

"If you all like, I can bring lunch boxes again tomorrow. I saw a Wagyu beef steak recipe on TV last night, it should be delicious."

"Wagyu beef steak? It's just for a bento box, isn't it a bit too expensive to use such ingredients?" Nakano Aoi often cooks at home and is very familiar with the prices of high-end ingredients, so she asked with some concern.

"I'm glad everyone likes it," Tamamo Yuki said earnestly.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "And I've also made some money from my stall recently... My finances are much better than before, so everyone doesn't need to worry."

"It's good that you're making money... but don't bother bringing us lunches. The most important thing for Tamamo-san is to take care of herself, not us."

Anze Liang pushed the lunchbox containing the fried pork cutlet toward Tamamo Yuki so that she could also take some, and then continued.

“Tamamo-san, I’ve been thinking about this lately. If you were to set up a stall, you could also target specific groups and sell some unique products.”

Yasuzawa Ryo roughly described some sales techniques and his understanding of the Japanese market through simulations... Giant pandas are also very popular in Japan.

So he suggested that Tamamo Yuki could buy some panda plush toys and sell them, which should have a good effect.

"Uh-huh!"

Yuzuru listened attentively to Anze Ryo's words and diligently took notes on her phone.

As Nakano Aoi listened, her curiosity grew. After Anze Ryo finished speaking, she swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "Anze-kun, what are the ancient Chinese records of giant pandas?"

Anze Liang thought for a moment and was about to answer when Hoshimiya Rin calmly took over the conversation.

"In ancient times, the Dragon Kingdom seemed to believe that the giant panda was a very fierce creature, like a tiger or leopard, but it could also be tamed. Moreover, they used a very obscure character from the Dragon Kingdom to describe it."

At this point, Hoshimiya Rin paused slightly, her lips parted, and she tried to utter a single Chinese character: "貔" (pi).

"A quirk?" Nakano Aoi repeated.

"It's 'Pi'. In the Chinese language, it should be pronounced with the second tone, rising in pitch," An Zeliang corrected.

"Oh! But, President, how did you know that?"

Nakano Aoi looked at Hoshimiya Rin with a puzzled expression. She remembered that the president wasn't particularly interested in the cultures of other countries and rarely knew anything about them.

"I saw it by chance while searching for information online," Hoshimiya Rin replied naturally, without revealing any problem.

But An Zeliang glanced at the aloof company president, which was clearly not a coincidence. It was impossible to know so much about pandas without having specifically researched the subject.
