Order French fries at Shuchiin

Let’s first see if they can recognize what equipment I’m using. The three little ones don’t know it completely. Besides, it’s a pity to leave the music room empty. Giving it to their younger brothers and sisters can be considered a kind of inheritance.

But to be on the safe side, I'd better let Shirogane and Ishigami go in and try. People like Ishigami who often hang out on the Internet are very sensitive to popular things and should have come into contact with my album. If I can pass this test, then wouldn't it be more than enough to deal with the people from Daima?

So, after introducing the basic layout of the welfare home and ensuring that there would be no embarrassing situation of opening the wrong door, Xing Yuanhui led them along the path inside the house to the entrance to the basement in the backyard.

After walking around for a while, Shirogane and Ishigami, who didn't know much about music, just enjoyed the sight, praised the album a few words, and then left.

Seeing that they seemed more concerned about the Ocean Festival, Xing Yuanhui thought contentedly: No one found anything wrong, so there should be no problem, right?

……

Far away in the Shinomiya residence in Tokyo, the daughter of a chaebol who was lying on the bed in a state of disgrace heard the tone of a message on her cell phone. She jumped up and rolled over like a stone monkey and came to the other side of the bed - that's how chaebols are. They buy oversized beds. I don't know who taught her that.

"Is it the president? !"

Kaguya Shinomiya placed her hand on her chest and took a few deep breaths. After fully preparing herself, she opened the screen. Unfortunately, the message prompt had already told her who the contact was. She immediately became bored and dropped the phone.

"Uh--" She buried her head in the pillow with a very bubbling sound. The horrifying sound seemed to freeze everything, like the howl of a monster.

Hayasaka, who was holding snacks outside the door, keenly heard the voice that represented the young lady's dissatisfaction. She silently withdrew her hand that was about to knock on the door, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, intending to make the excuse that the young lady was keeping in shape.

It's been three hours since I heard Miss Kaguya complain about President Shirogane not inviting her out to play. I'm going to keep it up and come back later.

Just as the guard who grew up with her thought, the young lady she was supposed to protect was indeed complaining, although the object of her complaint had just changed.

Fujiwara, you are obviously much more excited this summer than before, right? The photos you sent me are an order of magnitude higher! There are marlins and giant groupers. Can you please not share your experiences with false hope every time?

She muttered to herself for a while, but finally, following the etiquette of the nobility, she picked up her phone and clicked on the message.

[Kaguya-san! When I get back to Tokyo, shall we go to Omazaki together? I heard that the president, Hoshibuchi-san, and Ishigami-san are all there, let's give them a surprise!]

Chapter 30 Smith takes the lead

It has been two days since the Ocean Festival. Today the sky is clear and the sea is calm. Even the ups and downs on the water surface are much smaller, making the boat as comfortable as a crib, making people start to fall asleep.

After all, this place is very far away from Oma. After two hours of sailing, one can only see a slight line in the direction they came from.

Looking around, there is nothing but the endless ocean. Humans can only feel their own insignificance in such a situation. Due to the lack of change, they can't help but feel sleepy.

But there was a young man on the boat who was extremely excited at this moment. He seemed to have realized how to coexist with nature in this environment. He held a mop in one hand as a magic wand, and held a mysterious prop for casting spells between the fingers of the other hand, muttering to himself.

This is the last chance, we must seize it!

He raised his right hand, and like a gloomy wizard in a movie summoning his crow followers, the seagull with gray-black backs landed on his arm without hesitation, stretched its head down and took the delicious French fries.

Then its throat rolled up and down, and after it finished eating, it did not leave, but looked out at the blue sea with the kind-hearted two-legged beast.

If you look more closely you will know why it doesn't leave. It is unfamiliar with the place and there is no land around it. Instead of flapping its wings and flying away, it might as well eat a few more French fries and die like a well-fed bird.

But unlike the seagulls who just wanted to eat French fries, the Mop Wizard was very excited to have successfully fulfilled the boy’s dream of having a bird standing on his arm.

For a moment, Shi Shang was like a medieval poet who was looking for inspiration at the seaside and found proof of friendship that transcends races, and he couldn't help but humming.

After enjoying himself for a while, he felt that he had to share this joy with his friends no matter what.

Glancing at the seagull, he saw that it had no intention of flying away, so Shi Shang pretended to be calm and shouted, "Xingyuan, President, did you see that? I succeeded, I succeeded!"

It’s a pity that Ishigami, who was overjoyed, failed in the end.

Before Xing Yuanhui, who was leaning against the wall writing something, and Baiyin, who was armed to the teeth and gasping for breath while holding a butcher knife and looking at the fish, could look over, the bird in Ishigami's hand seemed to be frightened by his upturned ending tone. It immediately spread its wings and flew into the air, circling the motionless "white island" for a few times, then returned to the top of the boat to stay with its compatriots who were staggering after eating and drinking.

The seagull standing high above glanced down with its eyes, which did not change much, and its gaze was full of coldness.

"I'm full, you're useless now, I hope you enjoy your less than a minute part."

Xing Yuanhui raised his head, smiled playfully, and added voice to the seabird without permission.

"Who said that!" Ishigami said he would not allow anyone to destroy the bond between him and the bird, and argued, "We are good friends! Do you know how gentle it was when it stood on me just now?"

"That's because you fed all its friends and family, right?" Xing Yuanhui glanced at the pile of empty French fry packages in the garbage bag. "If they poop later, I'll throw you into the water as bait if you don't clean up three times."

Only ships returning from long voyages like to see seagulls, because it means the land is not far away.

Unfortunately, in other cases, when fishermen see seabirds, they only think about whether they will urinate or defecate, or whether they will steal their catch.

"You are judging people by their appearance!" The druid who lost his bird spoke up for his indifferent partner, "Just because a seagull is so mean doesn't mean it is one of our kind! Most seagulls are very docile!"

The general affairs officer covered his head, not knowing where to start complaining. The dean in the cockpit heard the voice and said awkwardly, "Well, they don't dare to rob directly because they are afraid of us. After all, if they fly to the port and take away the tuna meat from the guests, the guests may never want to come to the big room again..."

Moreover, this relationship existed before I was born. Perhaps during the long years of confrontation, the seabirds here had already regarded Oma as some kind of taboo?

Ishigami was speechless for a moment, standing there in a daze. He looked up with the mentality of grasping at the last straw, and unconsciously murmured the common spoken language for entertaining small animals, hoping that the seagull that stayed on his arm the longest was psychic and could use the bond to tell the boring mortals that bonds across races do exist.

"If you don't understand, you might think you're teasing a dog by making that 'sucking' sound." The general affairs officer leaned against the bulwark and ruthlessly finished off the opponent.

At least you should recite Rexxar's lines. What's the point of just sucking? Do you think you are Gul'dan? Don't panic when you have 3 health.

"This is an omnipotent spell. I won't allow you to slander it!" Ishigami refused to accept it. He took a sip of water to moisten his lips and began to suck them again, "Suck suck suck!"

However, livestock do not have human emotions after all. The seagull standing on the top moved its butt backwards and sprayed out a ball of mosaic.

"It's over." Xing Yuanhui immediately leaned back and covered his nose. His tone was comforting, but his face was full of laughter. "Shi Shang, don't be sad. At least you still have a mop in your hand. You don't need to use paper towels to wipe it. Are you happy?"

"I'm sorry, I will take responsibility and clean it up..." The accountant, who was willing to accept the defeat, went to find the cleaning agents on the rear deck and prepared to do the work of a sailor.

Looking at the lost figure leaving the stone, Xing Yuanhui, knowing that his dream of taming animals was shattered, raised his head to glance at the group of seagulls nesting on top, intending to chase away the "guest" after getting closer to land.

How dare you urinate and defecate on the boat of my welfare home? Isn't this just provoking the gods?

After making a mental note, Xing Yuanhui turned his head and looked at Baiyin, who was clearly fully armed but still did not dare to attack the small fish he had just caught: "President, you have used salt to remove the slime from it several times. It is already dying and cannot return to the ocean. Please give it a quick death."

You're exaggerating. In order to avoid touching the slimy fish body, you have to shovel the fish into an iron basin, pour salt on it, and turn it over repeatedly with chopsticks. This is too outrageous. Are you frying a pancake?

"I'm sorry, I just can't do it." Baiyin took off the mask he wore to prevent the fish blood from splashing, and wiped the sweat off his face. "I still feel a little uncomfortable to take away a fish that is jumping around in front of me."

"Is the president afraid of slacking off?" Xing Yuanhui squatted down and rubbed the fish's body, making a sound like the sole of a shoe pressing on the floor. "It's almost killed by you. Why don't you just use a little force to knock it out?"

Why does this scene seem familiar?

Suddenly, the memory of Baiyin hitting his head like a volleyball in front of him flashed before his eyes. The sound of hell that was sealed in the eighteen-layer barrier and heard by Fujiwara Chika after she took off her earplugs was about to break out of the barrier, which made Xing Yuanhui tremble with fear.

There is an abyss ahead! I triggered an incredible conversation!

"President." Xing Yuanhui spoke first, "Everyone has their weaknesses, and if you want to have a successful life, knowing how to allocate time is a must."

Can I not teach? The first time I taught volleyball, I admit that I underestimated my opponent. The second time I taught singing, it was because Fujiwara Chika wouldn’t let me go. But the third time, I’d better avoid it. If I can’t help it, I’ll drag someone to die with me!

"That makes sense." Baiyin nodded, temporarily letting go of his obsession with breaking through himself, and asked, "Actually, Xingyuan, do you remember when I was in the student union and we were struggling over whether it was better to live in the mountains or the seaside?"

"Okay, that seems to be the case?" The General Affairs Officer felt something was wrong, as if something even more incredible had been opened.

"I'm sorry, but I can't swim. Can you help me, coach?" Baiyin put his arm around his best friend's shoulder and said firmly, "I believe that since you grew up by the sea, you will be able to find out why I can't float on the water!"

You really trust me!

Now it was Xing Yuanhui's turn to be scared.

"Let me ask you, is it the volleyball level or the school song level?" The general affairs officer, who was dancing the Yangge for a while and expressing his uneasiness, decided to choose one of the two evils.

"Uh, I don't know." Baiyin said embarrassedly, "I just heard from my dad that when I was a child, I choked on water in a stream that was 50 centimeters deep."

This... seems a bit exaggerated! It doesn't sound simple, and the actual situation must be very strange.

Xing Yuanhui patted Baiyin's shoulder without hesitation: "Then let's overcome the fish problem first. At least you are not afraid of dead fish, right? You have even cooked fish and put it in your lunch box."

Don’t think that I was a coward because I choked on water when I was a child and then tried to escape. The last time I sang, he said he was just a little tone-deaf!

After formulating a plan to kill the fish that would drag Ishigami into the water, Xing Yuanhui walked into the cab and breathed a sigh of relief.

We are safe...for now.

The dean, who was locked in the cab by his own child and not allowed to go out to get information, said faintly: "Your friends really have their own special talents."

One was looking for an animal companion, and the other was torturing a fish. I knew that boys would always do some weird things when playing together, but this was too weird.

Do you know that you are destroying the impression that Xiuzhiyuan gave me?

"After all, we need to go out to sea for field surveys to adjust the fishing ground map. It's not appropriate to leave them in the big room." Xing Yuanhui removed his unconfident eyes, "They are normal, believe me."

Being out at sea is boring, so it makes sense to do something fancy to expose one's true nature, right?

"Where do you want to go after this?" Although Xing Yuanhui targeted him everywhere and did not allow him to be alone with his friends for a moment, Dean Sato was still very mature and forgave him, and now he wanted to give them some travel suggestions.

"I've soaked in hot springs, fished, and eaten sashimi..." Xing Yuanhui thought for a while, "How about I go camping with them tonight? Let's go barbecue on the mountain."

"Hmm?" The dean thought of the ingredients prepared in the refrigerator. He had originally planned to have a big meal today and prepare the best dishes for the reunion of the five people in the welfare home. He hesitated and said, "Nanaha and the others are back from training today. It would be bad if you were not at home, right?"

I've already started cooking the soup! What does Xingyuan mean?

"Back from training?" The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

After digesting this sentence, Xing Yuanhui said decisively: "Then we should go camping even more? It's a good opportunity to buy supplies and souvenir gifts while going to Hakodate. I miss the feeling of Nanami's massage for me so much."

We haven't seen each other for such a long time, so it's a good opportunity to go to Hakodate and carefully pick out Tokyo specialties to deepen the brother-sister relationship...

"Hey, your goal is clear, right? I made some soup, but if you leave, there will be nothing left to drink!"

Are you going to ruin me? It's so rare to cook a good meal! If you run away, Qi Hai will only ask me why "Xingyuan brother" is not here, instead of savoring my soup!

"If you don't want to drink, then don't drink." Xing Yuanhui's eyes were firm. "How can I let Qi Hai down? How can a brother without a gift deserve a gentle massage from his sister?"

"...Sometimes I really wonder, the biggest reason why you didn't leave the orphanage is not because of Nanami, right?" The dean looked strange.

This kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If he wanted to leave, he could have left a long time ago.

"That's really hurtful, Dean." Hearing that, Xing Yuanhui revealed a trace of sadness, "Am I the kind of person who would simply use money to repay a favor? You were the one who picked me up in the first place, is it possible that our fate has ended?"

“Uh, this…” The adult didn’t believe the boy’s expression, but just dragged the tone of his voice, waiting for the sentence to break the atmosphere.

"But Nanami is indeed adorable, so it's normal to be reluctant to let her go?" Seeing that the dean was unwilling to play the sad drama, Xing Yuanhui waved his hand simply, "You love Nanami the most, so you should know what I'm talking about?"

"I know." The dean narrowed his eyes and finally accepted a fact. "It may sound a bit harsh, but I am beginning to miss you half a year ago."

Although I said he wanted to go to school, why did my most trusted child become like this?

"That's really harsh." Xing Yuanhui curled his lips.

……

"Hello, I'm Smith, who made an appointment to check in today." Hayasaka, who had deliberately disguised himself as a man with short black hair, raised his sunglasses and forced a polite smile, "Excuse me, can I check in now?"

Alas, I don’t have to listen to Miss Kaguya’s apology anymore, and I finally don’t have to stay in the Shinomiya mansion in Tokyo and further develop into a stay-at-home girl, but why am I not happy at all?

It doesn't matter where we go, why go to the big room... We finally get out to play, but we have to hide our identities under the scorching sun and avoid Xing Yuanhui. In order to further cover up, we have to wear a wig, and my head feels stuffy and hot.

Miss, you should go home. If you stay in Oma until the Tokyo Fireworks Festival starts, how much hair will I lose if I wear a wig for so long?

I'm so angry, but I can't show it. I'm even angrier.

The lady boss, not knowing what the person in front of her was mumbling in his heart, smiled and said, "Of course, please wait a moment."

Hayasaka nodded, then stopped talking and began to observe the layout of the hotel.

They are all things related to tuna, and they are very local in nature.

This photo is beautiful! The pink fish meat is fresh and tender, with a faint sheen on the surface, and the edge can vaguely see the color of the red plate, crystal clear.

Well, it's decided. To soothe my stuffy heart, I'm going to order this Oma special tuna set meal tonight, and then enjoy it alone in the hot spring! I'm going to wash my hair properly before enjoying the food! Ms. Kaguya will pay!

The lady boss, who had completed the formalities quickly, saw the customer looking at the promotional materials in front of the counter and took the initiative to ask with a smile: "Would you like to try the most famous tuna in Oma? We are an old shop that has been in business for many years, and our sashimi chefs are also veterans with a good reputation over the years. You will not be disappointed."

"Okay." Hayasaka answered in a low voice, "I'll probably be back in the evening. Sorry for the bother. Also, I want to ask if there are any vacancies in the private rooms of the hot spring tonight..."

Afterwards, in order to blend in with the tourists, she asked for many tips on how to travel around the local area, making full use of the methods she learned in the family communication class during the conversation.

The proprietress who had just received the order also answered all the questions, and the two of them had a very pleasant chat for a while.

"It's a pity that Mr. Smith arrived a few days late, otherwise he could have participated in the Ocean Festival a few days ago." The proprietress now felt a passion for the male guest in front of her, and said with pity for "him", "Although there are no singing and dancing performances and fireworks, if you want to watch the tuna dismemberment show, there will still be performances every Sunday at the Old Port. If you are interested, please don't miss it."

"I will, Ms. Yamanaka. Perhaps you can remind me again then. I'd be very grateful." Hayasaka tried her best to maintain her perfect smile, and took the opportunity to leave the inn when other guests arrived. "We've been chatting for a long time, and I can't wait to walk around and stop here to see more. I'll take my leave first."

Pretending not to hear the voice behind him trying to keep her, Hayasaka went to her room to put down her luggage, then carefully studied the surroundings. She then walked to the door and slipped out of the hotel while the enthusiastic lady wasn't paying attention.

"Huh~!" As soon as she walked out of the hotel, Hayasaka finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The young lady is really good at ordering people around. She actually asked me to come to the big room in advance to collect information and set up an ambush here to win the heart of the silver president...

I almost got myself into trouble because of the information you wanted!

Chapter 31: She looks like the sister from last year!

The breeze blew through the branches, mottled shadows danced with the rhythm of the wind, and the flashing golden light was reflected on the boy playing the guitar. For a moment, the girls seemed like the gold diggers in history who stared at the river, and they were a little dazed.

Just a little away from the group of girls and boys, a man and a woman were standing under a tree. The girl stared at that place, took a few photos, and then impatiently tapped the floor with her little leather shoes, making a continuous "tapping" sound.
