Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

But I haven't visited your parents yet, Chika, Kyoko, and Ame's parents.

I'm thinking I should start visiting them gradually, since we'll definitely be inviting them to our wedding.

"Eh!!" Upon hearing this, Tuanzi exclaimed in surprise, while Wubu Furin looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with a gossipy expression. She hadn't expected to actually hear such a big piece of gossip. It was really too interesting!

As expected of you! My dearest friend!

Not only did he dare to have a harem, but he also wanted to meet her parents. He's really amazing and a role model for us all!

Chapter 1356 Limited Funds

As it turns out, Rikka and Gabriel's guess was correct; Hiratsuka Shizuka's barbecue feast wasn't so easy to come by.

At the entrance of an outdoor barbecue restaurant, the students stared blankly at the row of barbecue grills in front of them and asked in confusion, "Hiratsuka-sensei, where are our ingredients?"

"Aren't they all over there?" Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed to the farmers' market not far away and said calmly.

"We still need to buy it ourselves!"

“Of course!” Hiratsuka Shizuka said matter-of-factly. “What? You want to eat but not cook?”

"But……"

"Huh?" Hiratsuka Shizuka glared at the student, immediately scaring him into silence.

Then, Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a smile, "As you can see, this is what we have for dinner tonight."

Tonight you need to work together to prepare your own barbecue feast.

You can buy the ingredients yourself at the market there, and you can ask the shop owner for kitchen utensils and charcoal.

"Damn it, I'm exhausted after a long day, I don't want to work anymore! Wouldn't it be better to just go to a barbecue restaurant and eat?"

"I suddenly feel like going back to the hotel to eat, at least there's something ready there."

"Actually, I think it's fine. It's quite interesting to do it myself."

"Yeah, yeah! And you can just go to the market and buy whatever you want to eat. It's so great!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka added, "By the way, because our budget is limited, the cost of dinner tonight will be a maximum of 50,000 yen. Any more than that and I'll have to consider ending our school trip early."

"……ah!!"

"Fifty thousand isn't enough! I still want to have a seafood feast!"

"Including the teacher, there are 80 people in our two classes, which means each person has 625 yuan for meals!"

"Teacher, could you add some more? At least a thousand yuan for meals per person!"

"Exactly, that's right. This amount of money is only enough for a bowl of noodles, definitely not enough for barbecue."

"Whoa, whoa..."

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was a little embarrassed by everyone's teasing, so she coughed and said, "Alright, then it'll be 100,000, that's the most I can do."

"Long live Hiratsuka-sensei!"

Although 100,000 still doesn't feel quite enough, it's much better than the previous 50,000.

Moreover, if they buy enough at once, they can get a discount. As long as they don't buy the more expensive ingredients, it's barely enough.

Most importantly, each of them carried some money with them, so if they bought too much, they could split the cost and it wouldn't be too much.

From this perspective, Zongwu High School is actually quite good.

In most schools in Japan, students pay for their own school trips, and the price varies depending on the school.

However, Soubu High School is different; the school pays for all the expenses of their school trips.

But this doesn't mean students don't spend money. After all, whether it's buying souvenirs, snacks and drinks with friends, or facing a "funding shortage" situation like now, students still need to pay for these things themselves.

However, compared to paying for a school trip, this saves a lot of money.

Of course, it's not to say that only Soubu High School funds its own school trips. I'm not sure about other schools in Chiba, but at least Shuchiin High School does the same.

Firstly, as a well-known high school, it cannot be outdone by the neighboring Soubu High School.

Secondly, it is an elite school, and the annual tuition fees and various "sponsorships" from students' parents are a considerable source of income. The money for a mere school trip is simply insignificant.

After handing the funds to Machiko, Hiratsuka Shizuka sat down with Nero and quietly observed their expressions, while waiting to eat.

Well, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Neither Hiratsuka Shizuka nor Nero are the type to be shy. It's just a matter of eating and drinking for free; it's nothing.

Meanwhile, Machiko and the class representative of Class A began to organize the students to discuss how to prepare the barbecue dinner.

"Does anyone have any good suggestions? Feel free to speak your mind, but please raise your hand, otherwise it will be very chaotic if everyone speaks at once," Machiko said.

As soon as Makoto finished speaking, Makoto Isshiki decisively raised his hand and said, "Let's divide into groups first, since everyone has different strengths. For example, there are people in charge of buying vegetables, washing and chopping vegetables, and grilling."

As for me, I'm not very good at cooking, so I'll just go buy groceries.

“This is fine, is there any more?” Machiko nodded and asked.

"Zhao-san," the class monitor of Class A said, looking at Zhang Zhao.

"Let's check the market prices and not buy anything too expensive. After all, there are so many of us. Even if everyone contributes a little extra, we still won't be able to get enough to eat if we eat expensive food."

"..."

With Isshiki Makoto and Zhang Zhao taking the lead, everyone gradually put forward their own opinions.

Of course, some of these views are good, while others are inappropriate.

Finally, everyone spent ten minutes getting everything sorted out.

Everyone was divided into four groups, each responsible for "buying ingredients", "cleaning ingredients", "cutting vegetables", and "barbecuing".

Of course, before that, they first had to go to the market to investigate the prices of various foods. Each person was responsible for a part, which took a total of ten minutes. After investigating, they then began to select the ingredients they needed to buy and the quantities they needed.

In short, due to the large number of people and limited funds in the early stages, these seemingly time-consuming preparations were all necessary.

Although everyone is a bit hungry now, this is something that must be done so that we can have enough to eat later.

Following this, under the organization of Machiko and others, everything proceeded in an orderly manner. Although there were occasional minor mishaps, the overall progress was quite good.

"Dongjun, could you grill this meat for me?"

"Vina, where should we put this fish?"

"Hayama-kun, is the octopus ready?"

"Squad leader, what am I supposed to do?"

"Satania, could you please throw this trash away so it doesn't get lost?"

"Hey! But I want to kill a fish!"

"Yoshiko, stop! Those are fish guts, you have to throw them away! Don't put them on the plate!"

"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, are the bananas ready?"

"Why don't you just eat it directly? Why grill it?"

"Tendo and Himezuki are amazing! They can cut such even pieces of meat with a samurai sword."

"Is this a competition? I can't wait!"

"Isshiki, did you buy the drinks? Why are you still just watching the show?"

"But watching pretty girls compete is much more interesting than buying things."

"Get out of here!"

"Okay!"

"Zhao-san, are you making stinky tofu again?"

"No, it's just regular grilled pig brain."

What is brain?

"Hmm...pig brain."

"Farewell!"

"By the way, did you buy the cumin? We're running out of cumin."

"I just added... what classmate was she again? She said she went to buy it."

“Aki-kun, it’s Kato. Cumin is here.”

"Thanks, Kana-san."

"It's Kato, Ebina-kun."

Chapter 1357 Isshiki Makoto's Suicidal Plan

As evening fell and the sun set, the students, having eaten and drunk their fill, dragged their tired bodies onto the bus and headed to the hotel where they would be staying for the next few days.

The hotel that Soubu booked was quite nice; it was considered a high-end hotel.

However, the rooms they booked were not double or triple rooms, but group rooms suitable for study tours.

These rooms do not have beds; instead, they are furnished with tatami mats.

Without the tatami mats, the room feels very empty when you enter, with only a low table in the center and a sofa on the balcony.

In the hotel lobby, Hiratsuka Shizuka addressed her students:

"There are five people in each room. You can form your own teams. If you can't find enough, I'll assign you to teams. If you've decided, come and register first."

Actually, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't need to give any instructions; many people had already decided on their team composition while they were on the bus.

Of course, most people didn't have enough people in their teams, like Hayama Hayato and his group, who were just one person short.

The only groups that could be formed were actually three, and all of them were girls.

The first group consists of Vinette, Gabriel, Satania, Sima Miori, and Himezuki.

The second group consists of Kisara Tendo, Megumi Shoto, Machiko, Sayaka Sumino, and Yoshiko Hanabatake.

The third group consists of Rikka, Nibutani Morika, and Furei Miyabe and her two friends.

"Those who have registered, please take your room cards and go back to your rooms first. If you want to take a bath, please go during the time slot marked on each room. You are not allowed to go to the bathhouse outside of your designated time slot."

“As for the others…” Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at everyone and said, “Since you haven’t decided yet, I’ll decide for you.”
