Only I Follow the Law: An Unorthodox Tokyo Cultivation Routine.

"Let's not even talk about whether I will love you but not be able to have you. Judging from the current situation, you've become obsessed with wanting to have me."

Han Chuan You couldn't help but say.

"Then let's see who has the last laugh."

Next, the two followed the steps taught by the teacher and began preparing the shredded pork with garlic sauce.

Han Chuan You isn't good at cooking, after all, her older sister practically takes care of all three meals a day, and she's almost become too lazy to do anything.

However, it's not like he knows nothing at all.

He can also cook instant noodles, fried rice, and even make super delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes (proudly).

Just as Han Chuan You was wondering where to begin, Kujou Kitsuneha had already deftly started cutting carrots.

The knife skills weren't particularly fast, but the cuts were steady, producing carrot slices that were evenly thin and looked quite presentable.

He wasn't exaggerating. This completely overturned his imagination of a young lady from a prestigious family. Logically speaking, they should never have to lift a finger.

Seeing this, Han Chuanyou consciously stepped in to help, doing tasks such as washing vegetables and handing things over.

It's quite shameful that I, a commoner, am inferior to the culinary skills of a noble lady.

Chapter 22 After-School Stroll, Head of the Kujo Family

"Well done, as expected of Kujo-kun."

A passing teacher, watching Kujou Kitsune's nimble movements, sincerely praised the girl's skill, saying that even she couldn't find any fault with it.

Having long been accustomed to everyone's praise, Kujou nods slightly and turns her gaze to Hanakawa Yu: "Shall we give it a try?"

When Han Chuanyou saw the final product, its color was bright red and its sauce was rich. Both its aroma and appearance were perfect.

He picked up the serving chopsticks, took a piece and put it in his own bowl, then took a bite.

The sweetness of carrots, the savory aroma of shredded pork, and the crispness of black fungus create distinct layers of flavor. The five flavors—sweet, sour, spicy, and savory—are perfectly balanced. Overall, it deserves a top rating, though it's not quite a standout.

"It's so-so." Han Chuanyou said, taking another bite of rice. "I acknowledge your cooking skills, but it's far from satisfying me."

Seeing that he said one thing but did another, Kujou Kitsune's lips curled slightly, and she let out a soft hum:

"You have quite the appetite, you two-faced man."

After the home economics class, it's time for club activities.

The home economics classroom is also the activity room for the cooking club, and the kendo club is downstairs, just down a short walk away.

Nine fox feathers naturally followed, their steps elegant, their bodies maintaining a forward position relative to his.

This guy really thinks he's a subordinate.

Han Chuanyou clicked his tongue inwardly and quietly quickened his pace, making sure he was at least level with her.

"childish."

Kujou Kitsune scoffed at his underhanded competition, puffed out her chest, and her arrogant posture instantly put her in the lead again.

That's a foul! They actually used this external soul bone, which has a natural advantage.

If I weren't afraid of being seen as a pervert, I would definitely have shown her the power of my soul bone.

As they arrived downstairs, they bumped right into Yagyu Genon, who was coming to the club.

The girl sized up the two, her gaze lingering for a moment on the nine fox feathers beside Han Chuan You, before she spoke, "You two..."

Han Chuan You smiled and said, "I just finished my home economics class and am heading to the kendo club."

Yagyu Genon nodded slightly to the nine fox feathers beside him: "Fox Feather classmate."

Nine Fox Feathers curved her eyes and bowed slightly: "It's been a long time, Genon-kun. The last time we met was when my mother and your mother were talking about something."

Han Chuanyou was somewhat surprised that the two actually knew each other.

However, it's normal for the Yagyu family, as a long-established swordsmanship family, to have exchanges with the Kujo family.

"Then I'll be going. Excuse me."

After a brief greeting, Kujou Kitsune gave Hanukawa Yu a deep look before bidding him farewell.

Yuu Hanakawa and Genon Yagyu headed towards the kendo club.

"How did you two meet?" Yagyu Genon asked curiously.

"How else could we have met? That guy thought I had the potential to work for her and even tried to bribe me with money. Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be easily bought off with money?"

“Yes.” The girl nodded, her tone certain. “I think you’re the kind of person who, when money falls from the sky and everyone else is excitedly shouting, you’d want to catch as much as possible with your mouth.”

Han Chuanyou was filled with grief and indignation: "This is slander!"

While I may be right about myself, this is not how you use a metaphor.

Seeing his expression, Yagyu Genon smiled with amusement. Her cool face was like spring water melting on the ice for the first time, making people's hearts flutter.

Han Chuanyou's gaze fell on the girl's face, and he couldn't help but admire her:

"So cute, you really should smile more."

The smile vanished in an instant.

Yagyu Genon brushed a strand of hair from her lips, glanced at him, and a blush crept up her ears: "You speak without thinking."

Upon arriving at the kendo club, they took out their kendo uniforms and walked together toward the changing room.

Looking at the girl next to him holding the kendo uniform:

"And one more thing, Kujo-kun also wants me to fall hopelessly in love with her."

Noticing the girl's clearly disbelieving look, Han Chuanyou continued, "Don't disbelieve me, otherwise, would a young lady from a prestigious family need to be so clingy to me?"

Seeing that she still didn't quite believe it, Han Chuanyou didn't say anything more.

"Hey, to be honest, Kujo is truly a lady from a prestigious family. She's skilled in so many things. The shredded pork with garlic sauce she made earlier was really good. It's a pity you didn't get to try it. I never expected her cooking skills to be so good."

"I'm not interested."

Yagyu Genon clenched her hands slightly as she held the clothes, turned her face away, and let out a barely audible hum from her nose.

Hearing her commotion, Han Chuanyou couldn't help but smile.

So cute!

"Why this reaction? It shouldn't be like this. I'm being pursued by a young lady from a prestigious family. As my friend, you should be happy for me. Why do you look so miserable?"

Ryuu Genon was both embarrassed and annoyed, and bumped him hard with her shoulder: "Say it again, and I'll kill you!"

"She's so quick to call for war and killing; she's really not ladylike."

The minister was clearly in a bad mood today, and he increased the intensity of his training as if he wanted to vent all the nameless anger in his heart.

However, for Han Chuanyou, it was just a tickle, more like another form of flirting.

As the club activity ended, a small head peeked in from outside the door.

"Sister, is the club activity over?"

"It's over." Yagyu Tsurune put away the cleaned protective gear and picked up her shoulder bag.

"Anna, you're here to see your sister again?" Yu Hanchuan greeted her.

"Hmm! Senior Hanchuan, here, a drink."

"Thank you." Han Chuanyou smiled and accepted it. "You're so considerate, much better than your sister. I'm always the one who treats her."

"I've never seen you be polite to me. The drinks you took from me before are just like feeding the dogs."

Are "active" and "passive" the same thing?

"Okay."

Anna Yagyu found the way the two interacted particularly strange; her sister's emotional fluctuations with her senior, Hanakawa, were more numerous than she had ever witnessed before.

"Sister, Senior Han Chuan, would you like to go shopping at the commercial street near the school? I haven't been there since the start of the semester."

Han Chuanyou nodded and stylishly slung his backpack over his shoulder:

"I'm fine. There's a famous takoyaki place on the shopping street that's really delicious."

"Huh? Really?" Anna Yagyu clasped her hands together. "I want to eat it. I love takoyaki the most."

"Then it's my treat."

"No need for you to spend money, senior."

"You're Xuan Yin's sister, so you don't need to be so polite with me."

The sight of the two getting along harmoniously made Yagyu Genon feel a little jealous for some reason.

One is his beloved younger sister, and the other is someone he acknowledges and can be considered a confidant in kendo.

But the two of them together looked awkward no matter how you looked at them, yet you couldn't very well go up and separate them.

In the shopping street, the air is filled with the rich aroma of sauce from the takoyaki stalls.

"Thank you, senior."

The girl took the steaming hot cardboard box and smiled sweetly.

"Here, this is yours."

Hanchuan You handed another copy to Yagyu Genon.

Don't you want it?

"I ate enough during home economics class. If you feel sorry for me, you can feed me two more."

Yagyu Genon took the takoyaki and glanced at him sideways: "Dream on."

They chatted and strolled along the street, where the shops were dazzling and they would stop for a moment from time to time.

He hadn't experienced the kind of day he used to spend with his friends after school.

Anna Yagyu was drawn to the claw machine by the roadside, but after several unsuccessful attempts, her little face scrunched up in frustration.

Han Chuanyou eagerly replied, "I'll do it."

"I feel like there's something wrong with the odds of winning this claw machine, senior, you don't need to waste any more money."

"Don't underestimate me, I'm the God of Claw Machines! Watch this!"

"Okay, then you give it a try, senior."

The girl gave him her seat, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Han Chuan You tossed in a coin, adjusted the grappling hook, and grabbed the little panda the girl wanted.

Just as the grappling hook was about to lift him up and release him, a glint flashed in his eyes.

You think you can let go? No way.

Qimen Dunjia, open!

Invisible threads of spiritual energy wrapped around the claw hook, tightening the loose iron claw, and the doll smoothly entered the cave.

"Amazing!" Anna took the panda and hugged it to her chest, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Yu Hanchuan.

"So-so."

Han Chuanyou waved his hand modestly. Although he was cheating, the claw machine also secretly adjusted the odds to trick people. This was called risk hedging.

He grabbed another rabbit plush toy, got it in one go, and handed it to Yagyu Genon, who was standing to the side.

"We can't favor one over the other; this is yours."

"I don't really like these kinds of plush toys."

Despite saying that, Yagyu Genon still accepted the doll.

Seeing this, Anna Yagyu's eyes crinkled and a shallow dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth. She took her sister's hand and said, "Sister, what shop is that over there? Let's go take a look."

……

Chiyoda District, Kujo Family.

From the outside, it appears to be a mansion with an astonishingly large area.

Nine fox feathers stepped into the traditional Japanese courtyard, the gravel path rustling under their feet.

"Miss."
