Ebina Himina: [Huh? 】

After a brief standoff, Ebina Hina finally felt pleased and stepped forward with a slight smile, pulling her best friend aside and handing her a tissue.

Yumiko Miura took two steps back, took the tissue, wiped her face a couple of times, and then glared at him.

Nomiyama's gaze wandered; he was somewhat at a loss for words. Yumiko was always difficult to deal with.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath, realizing that today's date was off the table. Now, it would be better to break the deadlock and take the initiative.

She took a few steps forward, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Junior, we should go eat."

"Oh." Nomiyama looked at the three people opposite him. "That one?"

"Together." Miura Yumiko threw away the tissue, her energy restored, and her aura became imposing.

She strode forward, grabbed his coat sleeve, and walked ahead.

Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned as she watched the person being led away.

What do you mean? Why were you able to pull him away so naturally?

Hina Ebina stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, Kasumigaoka-senpai. Yumiko will get shy later and then give up on herself."

Yui Yuigahama simply waved and greeted him before running over to his other side and standing there, grinning foolishly as she asked him questions.

......

"Huh? Xiao Feng has been to so many places?"

“Hmm.” Nomiyama swallowed his fried rice. “Basically, I’ve been to all the places that have interested me since I grew up.”

"That's great! I want to go to lots of places too." Yui Yuigahama chewed on her straw, her eyebrows drooping, looking dejected. "I've never even been to Tokyo. I only go out of Chiba for school trips."

Nomiyama looked at her dejected expression, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "There will be opportunities in the future."

Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward: "Will Kaze take me on a trip?"

Nomiyama thought about his own situation, glanced at her expectant face, and instead of giving a definite answer, said, "If there's an opportunity."

Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll wait for Kaze to come pick me up sometime."

No, I said there's a chance. How can you be so sure there's a chance?

“Count me in.” Miura Yumiko kicked him.

"Oh." Nomiyama lowered his head and continued to eat.

"Me too." Hina Ebina smiled and rested her chin on her hand as she got into the car.

"Hmm," Nomiyama mumbled a response as he chewed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the three people opposite her, then at the people around her who were enjoying their food, and realized that she had made some mistakes.

I was too reserved. My junior is in a good position right now, so I can make all sorts of requests and take advantage of his soft heart to get closer to him step by step and finalize some things first.

Yui Yuigahama checked her phone and continued enthusiastically, "Does Kaze have anywhere to go later?"

Where are you going?

Nomiyama bit into the grilled fish and turned to look at his senior.

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head, then smiled and looked at the person opposite her: "Yui, is there anywhere you want to go?"

Yui? Nomiyama silently took a bite of the crisp, tender fish. It seemed that they had some interaction after her senior transferred back to the school.

Yui Yuigahama nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! A haunted house recently opened, and I heard it's super scary!"

Haunted house?

Miura Yumiko's eyes lit up. If they went in together, then...

Hina Ebina glanced at the expressions of the people in the room, silently pondering. Although there would be plenty of opportunities after the start of the semester, there were indeed some things she wanted to talk to him about privately right now.

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the three people opposite her, a smile spreading across her face. "Well, here comes the pillow when I'm sleepy."

Nomiyama glanced at them, chewing away.

Whatever.

......

"Alright, alright, we can go in now!"

Yui Yuigahama pulled him forward.

Nomiyama sent a message to Megumi, put away his phone, waved behind him, and walked into the entrance in front.

This haunted house only allowed two people to team up at a time. Surprisingly, yet unsurprisingly, Yui, who was the most enthusiastic, dragged him into the first team.

Kasumigaoka-senpai stands alone in line, beautiful all by herself.

As you pass through the entrance, the space darkens, and the lights begin to glow with a pale green and dark red hues.

Nomiyama raised his hand, glanced at the hand being held, and then looked at Yui.

Yui Yuigahama lowered her head: "I'm scared."

Fear, an excuse or a reason.

Nomiyama was about to say something.

Their bodies were pulled, and the next moment, they crashed open a door and leaned against the wall behind it.

Nomiyama scanned the room to make sure there were no staff members present.

Then his clothes were twisted up in front of him, and his head was pressed against his chest.

“I know, I know Xiaofeng isn’t going on a trip.”

Nomiyama lowered his head, looking at the person bowing to his chest.

Yui isn't stupid; she can see and think about many things, but she never shows it. Just like she never shows any special feelings in front of Yumiko, she continues to play dumb. Only after drinking at his house occasionally will she let go of those thoughts and feel at ease getting closer under the pretext of being drunk.

"Hurry up, Himeko, they might be up ahead and haven't left yet."

Yumiko's voice came from outside, followed by Hina's perfunctory "Mmm."

Nomiyama just quietly watched Yui. It seemed that after she finished speaking, she had no intention of saying anything more and just leaned there quietly.

Time passed slowly, and screams could be heard from outside every now and then.

"Xiaofeng, I'm all better now."

"Are you done?"

"Okay, all set, full of energy."

Hearing her energetic voice, Nomiyama reached out and ruffled her pink bun of hair: "That's good."

"Okay, let's go out. Yumiko and the others must be getting impatient."

Yui Yuigahama turned around and walked outside first, taking his hand in the process.

"I'm still a little scared. I'll let go once we get out."

She turned around and laughed heartily.

"Ok."

......

"I am back."

Nomiyama pushed open the door, changed his shoes, and then looked at the few people who were just staring at him without saying a word.

"Uh, I'm back?"

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him, then looked at the people around him and smiled: "Long time no see, Yumiko, Yui, and Ebina-kun."

Yui Yuigahama rushed forward first: "Yuki!!"

Yumiko Miura's eyes lit up with joy as she quickly stepped forward: "Yukino."

Nomiyama silently walked up to the entrance hall, then headed towards the kitchen.

"Tsk." Mai Sakurajima lay on the sofa, her mocking gaze falling on him.

"Heh heh, my immoral husband who went out is back." Yukinoshita Haruno threw a pillow at him.

Nomiyama slapped it back, rejecting the notion: "We're all friends."

“Where are my friends?” Mai Sakurajima grabbed an apple and took a bite.

Eriri Sawamura glanced at the people in the room, ignored them, turned over, and lay down on the sofa to continue sleeping.

Nomiyama walked into the kitchen, which was several times larger than before, and took down the white cat apron from the wall. He was a little embarrassed: "I ran into Yumiko and the others on the way, so I might have to cook a lot more."

Kato Megumi turned around while cutting the meat, glanced at him, and said in her usual tone, "It's okay, Kazehaya will cook anyway."

Nomiyama took a few steps, came to her side, took out a kitchen knife, and began to debone a chicken.

Kato Megumi, cutting the meat, glanced at him nimbly beside her and said softly, "Kazehaya, you still haven't told me why you poisoned my chickens."

Nomi Yamate paused, somewhat embarrassed, "Well... there was an accident, and he was poisoned..."

"Heh, it's a wild mushroom after all."

Yukino Yukinoshita went into the kitchen, took the black cat apron, and put it on.

Nomiyama took a few steps, washed her hands, and then went over to help her tie the ribbon behind her back, complaining, "What has Nomiyama-kun become now?"

Yukino Yukinoshita took a few steps, took a pot from a stove, rinsed it with water, and pondered her answer.

"A cat that can't hunt, has no brains, lies limp all day and just waits to be fed?"

"Where's the promised bacteria? Cat bacteria?"

"Good term, Wildcat Fungus."

......

Cat fungus probably doesn't exist, but matsutake fungus does.

Nomiyama stir-fried a plate of boneless chicken with precious wild matsutake mushrooms, Yukino Yukinoshita made a soup with matsutake mushrooms, and Kato Megumi also stir-fried it, but with a lighter flavor.

Now the discussion at the dinner table is about who cooked better.

Nomiyama suffered a complete defeat with zero votes.

Everyone complained that his method of stir-frying with chili and lots of oil was a waste of wild matsutake mushrooms.

Yes, it was a waste of matsutake mushrooms instead of chicken.

There were ten people in the room. After deducting the three contestants, there were seven remaining.

3:3

The final vote went to Yui Yuigahama.

Nomiyama looked up as he chewed, glancing at the pink-clad girl staring at him, and admired her intelligence.

Yes, the best approach is to vote for yourself to avoid deciding on a winner.

Come on, vote for yourself.

His eyes sparkled as he looked over there expectantly.

Yui Yuigahama looked at his expectant face, blinked, and said, "I vote for the club president."

Minister? Nomiyama raised his mouth. There was only one Service Club in the room, and then the winner of the delegation would become the minister. Yui probably joined the Service Club after he left, and before he left, the overwhelming advantage had basically secured the minister's position.

Very good, well done, Yui-bu member. I'll give you special treatment later.

Nomiyama gave a thumbs up.

Minister? Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him, who seemed rather smug, and stepped on him. With his advantage in the commission, she knew she couldn't take back her Service Department.

Kato Megumi lowered her eyes and quietly served herself a bowl of matsutake chicken soup.

Hmm, Yukinoshita-kun's cooking is pretty good.

"Yui's taste is similar to mine, as expected of Megumi." Hina Ebina said with a smile.

It really is Hui?

"Huh?" Nomiyama stopped eating with his chopsticks and turned to look at his side.

Kato Megumi took a sip of chicken soup, held the bowl, looked at the two people on her right, and said softly, "I completed four requests. The head of the Service Club, Hiratsuka-sensei, gave them to me."
