A simple "good morning" was enough to leave Tsukimi Eiko stunned, before a joyful smile spread across her face and her eyes crinkled with happiness.

After all, this was the first time Kitagawa Yu had ever said good morning to her!

Moreover, this time she can finally have breakfast with Kitagawa Yu!

"Shall I make breakfast today?"

"No need, you can continue practicing your voice. I'll make breakfast."

Kitagawa Yu didn't let Tsukimi Eiko waste time making breakfast because... he wanted noodles for breakfast today.

Although making ramen broth is too troublesome and time-consuming, he can still make Chinese-style stir-fried noodles!

Heat the pan with cold oil, add the white parts of the scallions, and wait until they turn completely golden brown. The aroma will immediately waft up.

Even Tsukimi Eiko, who was originally focused on practicing her voice, couldn't help but twitch her little nose and frequently turn her head to look over.

At this point, add the easily cooked Wagyu beef slices and the shredded cabbage (as a substitute for bok choy) to the pot one after the other, and season with mirin, soy sauce, and pepper.

Once the stir-frying is almost done, add water and noodles, along with appropriate amounts of salt and miso.

And so, a pot of stir-fried noodles, slightly modified with the existing seasonings and ingredients, was made, making Tsukimi Eiko's mouth water.

Including the time spent chopping vegetables and cooking noodles, the whole process took less than half an hour.

"Let's eat first!"

Upon hearing Kitagawa Yu's summons, Tsukimi Eiko immediately dashed off like a Shiba Inu and sat down at the dining table.

Is this ramen?

"No, this is a type of Chinese stir-fried noodles. Although it doesn't use pork or beef bones to make the broth like ramen, the taste is just as good!"

"So that's how it is! Yu is amazing! She can even cook such complicated Chinese dishes!"

Eiko Tsukimi couldn't help but show an expression of admiration when she looked at Yu Kitagawa.

Because in the minds of most Japanese people, compared to Japanese cuisine, which has a relatively simple preparation process, Chinese food is completely synonymous with 'complex', 'expensive', and 'difficult'.

When she was in school, she had never heard of any girl who could cook Chinese food, let alone Kitagawa Yu, who was a boy.

"It's not as difficult as you think... Okay, let's eat!"

"Mmm! It's a kimasu!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tsukimi Eiko, who had been holding back for a long time, picked up a mouthful of noodles with beef slices and green onions, blew on it twice quickly, and then eagerly ate it.

Then, a rich, yet equally delicious flavor, unlike any other ramen, exploded in her mouth, almost making her bite her tongue.

"Oh my god! It's so delicious!" Tsukimi Eiko exclaimed sincerely.

Meanwhile, the morning sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the two people sitting at the dining table.

An indescribable warmth and happiness welled up from the bottom of her heart, making her feel warm and sweet all over.

In contrast, the angel next door wasn't so happy at the moment.

Chapter 88 Soft Heart and Misunderstandings

"what's up?"

"Didn't that guy leave around this time yesterday to go to his extracurricular class?"

"Could it be... that he's going to slack off again?"

At the same time and in the same place, Shiina Mahiru, who failed to meet Kitagawa Yu, had a cold expression on her face and felt inexplicably unhappy.

Even the delicious Baumkuchen in her hand couldn't bring her any healing.

Of course, she just happened to go out to buy breakfast at this time; she definitely didn't leave the groceries she bought yesterday in the refrigerator unused and deliberately went out at this time!

Moreover, she was much luckier than Narumi Sena.

You should know that because she was secretly practicing dancing in her room with headphones on, Narumi Sena didn't even hear Kitagawa Yu's self-accompanied singing of "Running Towards the Night" and "Announcing Spring" last night.

In addition, even on Saturdays and Sundays, she has to get up early to go to the agency to practice vocals and dance. As for Narumi Sena, who wants to be like her, to have an unexpected encounter with Kitagawa Yuuki on a sunny morning and greet each other with smiles and good mornings, who knows when she will be able to do it!

......

......

"I'm ready!"

"Let's go then!"

After having breakfast, washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, Kitagawa Yu and Tsukimi Eiko changed their clothes and left the apartment together.

It was already 9 a.m.

The outdoor air was still crisp, but it was noticeably warmer than in the early morning.

When the two left the apartment building and came out onto the street, the gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of cherry blossoms was refreshing and invigorating.

The sky and streets were very clean.

Although there weren't many vehicles on the road, it looked slightly more crowded than it actually was, perhaps because the streets were rather narrow.

However, this feeling of crowding is not unpleasant; on the contrary, it brings a perfect sense of vitality and energy.

This prevents the street from being overly crowded like Shinjuku or Shibuya, or overly quiet like the small town of Izu.

That feeling, somewhere in between, was at least very comfortable and pleasant for Kitagawa Yu.

"By the way, does Eiko-chan like dorayaki?"

As they passed by Azusagawa-ya, Kitagawa Yu suddenly remembered the dorayaki he had eaten with Hanami Anna the day before, and couldn't help but ask Tsukimi Eiko, who was standing next to him, about it.

Just then, Tsukimi Eiko was also attracted by the various exquisite cakes and breads displayed in the transparent shop window next to her, and couldn't help but steal a few glances.

This made her feel as embarrassed as a child caught stealing candy, and she couldn't help but quickly lower her head, avoiding eye contact with Kitagawa Yu, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Dorayaki?"

"Yeah, the dorayaki from this bakery should be pretty good."

"Then...then I won't be polite!"

She had just eaten breakfast, and now she wanted to buy dorayaki again, which seemed a bit extravagant to Tsukimi Eiko.

After a brief moment of hesitation, she happily accepted Kitagawa Yu's offer.

And it must be said that having a dessert after a main meal does indeed make one feel more pleasant.

Two people walked out of the bakery, each holding a freshly baked dorayaki. They strolled along the clean and tidy street, enjoying the sweet and delicious dorayaki. It was such a leisurely and pleasant experience.

"By the way, it's rare for us to have time to go out together recently. After we finish recording the song, I can take her to buy some clothes..." Kitagawa Yu thought to himself as he looked at Tsukimi Eiko, who was still wearing her high school uniform.

Since there was no need to rush, the two of them took about seven or eight minutes to reach the station, just like going for a walk after dinner.

Perhaps because it was still quite early, the platform was still rather empty, with not many people waiting for the train.

Kitagawa Yu's gaze first quickly swept over the increasingly familiar platform, then he subconsciously turned his head to look at Tsukimi Eiko. Involuntarily, he recalled the scene of him 'saving' Tsukimi Eiko here, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

If he hadn't kindly stepped in to save Tsukimi Eiko, he might still be struggling to find someone to be the band's lead singer.

At the same time, Tsukimi Eiko, who was revisiting the place, also subconsciously looked up at Kitagawa Yu. After meeting Kitagawa Yu's gaze, it was as if a traveler walking in the winter night had finally found a warm campfire, and she couldn't help but reach out and take his arm.

Then... the sudden intimate gesture made both of them catch their breath, and their bodies involuntarily tensed up.

After regaining their senses, Kitagawa Yu was a little better, at least his expression didn't seem to change much, but Tsukimi Eiko's pretty face was flushed, her lowered eyelashes trembled slightly with her breath, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her body.

"Oh my god! What am I doing?!"

Tsukimi Eiko cautiously raised her head, nervously and apprehensively glancing at Kitagawa Yu.

Although Kitagawa Yu had already seen her body and even held her, that was at home, with only the two of them there!

This is in broad daylight on a tram platform. Even if there aren't many passersby around, and those passersby aren't looking at them, it's still a public place, so the situation is completely different!

It's like many couples who have already made love in private still get shy about holding hands when they go out shopping.

Most importantly... what if Kitagawa Yu pulls his arm away or pushes her away at this moment?

It must be said that although Tsukimi Eiko is a bit simple-minded, her intuition as a girl is sometimes quite accurate.

In fact, Kitagawa Yu was indeed thinking about how to pull his arm out of her arms without embarrassing her or hurting her feelings.

However, after noticing Tsukimi Eiko's eyes, which looked like those of a homeless puppy, he eventually softened and gave up on doing so.

"Anyway, it's just arm in arm, and the train will be arriving in two minutes. By then... Eiko-chan should let go of my hand on her own, right?"

Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.

The recording studio he called to book yesterday morning is located near the music university's affiliated high school, so today they will need to take the SS-Seibu Shinjuku Line to Takadanobaba Station and then walk there.

Because he had been taking this line every day for some time, he knew the tram arrival timetable by heart.

Indeed, what followed unfolded exactly as he had predicted.

When Tsukimi Eiko saw that he hadn't pulled his arm away, she finally relaxed and stopped worrying. Then, belatedly realizing that she was a little shy, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, and her mind started wandering.

"Yuta didn't pull his arm away... Could it be... that Yuta actually... I guess I should be more proactive!"

Thinking of this, Tsukimi Eiko hugged him even tighter, so much so that she pressed herself against Kitagawa Yu's arm, and Kitagawa Yu felt the heavy weight in his heart.

However, when the tram arrived at the station on time, she took the initiative to let go of Kitagawa Yu.

This made Kitagawa Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

However, this was something Kitagawa Yu hadn't anticipated.

It's possible that many people go to Takadanobaba for various talent classes and cram schools on weekends, or it could be that this train also goes to Shinjuku Station.

In short, even though it's only 9:30, the train carriage is already quite crowded.

So, after entering the carriage, Kitagawa Yu had no choice but to take Tsukimi Eiko's hand and pull her to a corner of the carriage, using his body to create space for her, which was practically equivalent to hugging her in his arms.

And then... Tsukimi Eiko exclaimed! She really did hug Kitagawa Yuu's waist on her own initiative to maintain her balance!

Chapter 89 The Attacking Girl

"Ah... oh... does that mean we can release the song right away after recording?"

With her expression written all over her face, Tsukimi Eiko lowered her head guiltily, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to look Kitagawa Yu in the eye at all.
