Hiratsuka Shizuka was unusually silent. She asked, "Then are they siblings?"

"What do you think?"

Realizing belatedly what Yamanaka Sawako was saying, Hiratsuka Shizuka turned her head and met the kind smiles that Narusawa Kaede and Hiroi Kikuri were giving her.

Hiratsuka Shizuka gave an awkward laugh.

What is this thing called?

-

What is this thing called?

“Do you recognize her? It’s Catherine from DD before. We went to pay her back together.”

With Narusawa Kaede's prompting, Hiroi Kikuri finally matched the heavily made-up monster in her memory with the elegant, natural beauty opposite her.

"That's a lie, it doesn't look like it at all!"

Upon hearing this exclamation, Hiroi Kikuri also thought of Yamanaka Sawako.

Kikuri Hiroi asked, "Should we go say hello?"

Mingze Feng shook his head. "Let's keep eating. It was just a chance encounter."

Sawako Yamanaka over there looked awkward enough. She waved to herself, indicating it was best they didn't go and join the fray.

The noise from the izakaya resumed, blocking the visual communication between the teacher and student.

Sawako Yamanaka came to confide in her senior, who shared a similar emotional setback, while Kaede Narusawa and Kikuri Hiroi were partly there to fill their stomachs.

"To be honest, if you gave me a huge sum of money, I'd probably want to lie in bed with you for a month..."

"You said you couldn't take it anymore after just three days."

Based on the experience he learned from Toyokawa Shoko, he wouldn't last more than three days; he'd be dead in a day.

"Ugh, I meant lying in bed and sleeping, just sleeping."

"Buy a new bass and effects pedals?"

"It's not like we didn't have the money to buy new ones before, we didn't lack them to begin with. Now I don't know what to do."

"Actually, so am I."

Although she dressed plainly and lived in shabby conditions, she was spiritually rich—that's probably the best description of Kikusato Hiroi.

In this respect, Mingze Feng can only be considered half a person.

This brings us back to the original question: Naruzawa Kaede and Hiroi Kikuri are staring at each other.

The two men, lacking ambition, didn't have any good ideas after taking the money.

Hiroi Kikuri did order two bottles of good wine.

Just then, a new figure walked into the izakaya.

Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed that her friend had lowered her body even further, but her eyes were wide open.

She also saw the girl walk into the izakaya.

Under the warm orange light, her deep blue hair appeared almost indigo. She had an arrogant expression, as if someone owed her millions. To put it nicely, she was an ice queen.

Without a doubt, it's Yamada Ryo.

This was the student Hiratsuka Shizuka had seen most like a student that day; her cold expression was exactly like someone she remembered.

As she entered the store, Yamada Ryo's gaze swept across the room. When she saw Hiroi, a purple-haired man with his arm raised and swaying, she clicked her tongue almost imperceptibly.

Then he stepped forward and walked towards Mingze Feng's table.

Hiratsuka-sensei, who had been secretly observing, narrowed her eyes. From Yamanaka Sawako's unusual behavior, she could tell that the other woman definitely knew something. Just as she was about to ask a question, Yamanaka Sawako leaned closer.

Teacher Sawako watched intently as Yamada Ryo approached Narusawa Kaede's table, and whispered an explanation, "She's his girlfriend from school."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes widened in surprise.

This, this, this!

She looked at Ming Zefeng again, the boy who seemed somewhat handsome at first glance, but upon closer inspection, a dark aura of a scumbag was faintly rising above his head.

The blue-haired, cold-faced girl is getting closer and closer! She's only a few tables away!

That purple-haired guy stood up! That smiling face—could it be a provocation?

That's really awesome!

The teacher, Hiratsuka, also imitated Sawako, leaning on the table and excitedly watching Yamada Ryo get closer and closer to the table, walking faster and faster!

We're almost there!

"Luckily I didn't leave earlier. Seeing this scene tonight was totally worth the money for the meal I treated you to!"

"what is this."

Sawako Yamanaka interrupted Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was speaking without permission.

"As far as I know, there are even more things you've never seen before coming up."

-

"found it."

The izakaya was filled with smoke; it wasn't noisy, but it wasn't exactly quiet either.

In the afternoon, Yamada Ryo couldn't get in touch with Toyokawa Shoko and thought she'd been tricked. Then Narusawa Kaede called her.

Yamada Ryo almost laughed; Toyokawa Shoko hadn't just played her for a fool.

It's time to let Mingze Feng know who his girlfriend is.

When Toyokawa Shoko lost his deer, the whole world chased after it!

Even when facing Hiroi Kikuri, Yamada Ryo's expression softened considerably. Toyokawa Shoko had completely captured Yamada Ryo's hatred; right now, anything but Toyokawa Shoko was acceptable.

"cold."

Naruzawa Kaede pulled Ryo to sit next to him, and as he raised his hand to order, Yamada Ryo pulled out a mobile phone from his pocket.

"Consider this a gift from me; you're not allowed to give it to anyone else."

"okay."

Naruzawa Kaede smiled and accepted the phone. Yamada Ryo's number was already saved on it, probably prepared by Yamada Ryo himself.

Hiroi Kikuri then greeted Yamada Ryo, "Long time no see..."

Yamada Ryo smiled calmly, and then Hiroi Kikuri reached out and started pulling and tugging at her.

"Come sit down here, Liang, you're still so cute~"

"Hey, don't use that force. Feng, say something..."

Instead of speaking, Narusawa Kaede raised his hand and put his arm around Yamada Ryo's shoulder. Hiroi Kikuri nestled in his arms and winked at Yamada Ryo.

Yamada Ryo, who had initially been oblivious to the stares of those around her, couldn't help but feel her face burning. She raised her hand to fan herself, stubbornly saying, "It's too hot in the shop, Kaede, let go of my hand..."

"Then why does your face feel so cold to me?"

"That just came in from outside... um... sob sob..."

She rubbed Yamada Ryo's cheeks a couple of times to remove the redness, and then teased Yamada Ryo together with Hiroi Kikuri.

From a distance, Mingze Feng, sandwiched between the two, looked like he was holding both of them.

Not far away, the two teachers who were lying in wait exchanged a glance and gasped in unison.

"Sawako, I remember you teach ninth grade, right?"

"Yes, senior."

"..."

Mingze Feng had no idea what these two unfortunate women, who were constantly heartbroken and failing at blind dates, talked about or went through later.

Because he left early.

Yamada Ryo and Hiroi Kikuri exchanged a final glance, but she didn't stay. She had arranged to meet Narusawa Kaede for the weekend, and she had booked tickets to Izu for the two days.

The kind for two people.

the next day.

Shimokitazawa Apartments.

Pushing away Hiroi Kikuri's slender arm, Narusawa Kaede glanced at the time: 9:30.

"..."

Oh right, the alarm clock was on his phone, and his phone was with Toyokawa Shoko. He worked from early morning until the early hours of the morning, so he overslept.

Today is Thursday.

There are two days left until Yamada Ryo's date.

Naruzawa Kaede glanced at the fast-sleeping Hiroi Kikuri but didn't disturb her. She took another shower, got dressed, and went out.

Please ask for leave before going to school.

Let's think about what kind of meal to cook for Master Xiangzi.

The life of a stay-at-home husband.

Skip shopping, skip cooking.

Toyokawa Shoko arrived right on time. Narusawa Kaede's rice was halfway done.

Twenty minutes later, during dinner, Hiroi Kikuri, dressed in a loose, thin nightgown and short dress, came out yawning.

"Ah Feng, it smells so good... What's wrong today...?"

She was halfway through her sentence when she saw the blue-haired girl sitting on the table. She was not unfamiliar with her, but not exactly familiar either.

Mingze Feng observed Xiangzi's expression.

They were eating normally.

He then fed Xiangzi.

He opened his mouth, chewed, and swallowed normally.

Even today, Toyokawa Shoko still has an abnormal side.

Hiroi Kikuri was quite open-minded. After accepting all the events and quietly finishing her meal, she rubbed her hands together and came to Toyokawa Shoko's side, naturally starting to fawn over her.

"Hi, young lady, is there anything I can do for you?"

When she was so annoyed by her that she couldn't stand it anymore, Toyokawa Shoko sighed, "...Then go wash the dishes, don't keep Kaede busy."

"Got it!"

Look at how they've been edited! They'd be perfectly befitting a lackey.

Not long after, a series of clattering and cracking sounds came from the kitchen.

Narusawa Kaede and Toyokawa Shoko exchanged a glance and chose to ignore the strange noises coming from the kitchen. As long as everyone was alright, that was all that mattered.

As she was leaving, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly remembered something and found Narusawa Kaede's cell phone in her bag.

"Well. Hailing called you yesterday, and I answered. Guess what she said?"

"I won't guess. There's nothing between us."

"I know you're devoted, okay?"

Toyokawa Shoko shoved the phone into Narusawa Kaede's arms. "She said she wanted to ask you about something. Call her back when you have time."

Naruzawa Kaede nodded, and Toyokawa Shoko casually added, "I haven't touched the photos Mutsu sent you. But if you want to see them later, just go to the villa yourself, okay?"

At this moment, Mingze Feng finally remembered something he had forgotten.

Fortunately, everything that needed to be made clear had already been made clear before Xiangzi discovered this thing.

"No problem, how's Mu lately?"

"that's it."

Toyokawa Shoko gave a soft snort and turned to leave.
