You only care about the strategy

Chapter 284 Birthday
The next morning, Shiina Kiri went to the supermarket and bought a lot of drinks and snacks to fill the refrigerator that had been idle for a long time.

Then I cleaned the rental house briefly. After I finished all this, it was already past nine o'clock.

He stretched out on the sofa and was about to make a phone call to ask when the two would arrive when he heard the doorbell ring behind him.

"What a coincidence." Shiina Kiri put down her phone, stood up and walked towards the entrance, opening the door with a little nervousness.

Three cannon shots were heard, "bang", "bang", and "bang", and a large piece of colorful ribbons fell from above their heads.

"Happy birthday!"

There were also a few blessings mixed in.

Shiina Kiri: “…”

It was a real surprise. If he hadn't had a strong psychological quality, he would have thought that hot weapons were now used to kill scumbags.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to invite us in?" Kobayakawa Kazuki glared at him.

"Um, is it my birthday today?" Shiina Kiri moved aside, a little unsure.

"Yes, today is July 21st, it's your birthday, Shiina-san." Gensou Yuuka handed over a beautifully wrapped gift box with both hands, about the size of two palms.

"This is a birthday present."

When working at a convenience store, Shiina Kiri once gave her her cell phone to play with, and the phone's lock screen password was this number.

Later, Shiina Kiri gave her the old phone. Without even thinking about it, he knew that the password had not been changed.

"Thank you."

It was such a coincidence that Yuki High School had a holiday on the 20th, and the 21st was his birthday.

"Io also has a present for Shiina-nii-san."

Gensou Io jumped slightly and raised his right hand, looking more cheerful than before.

"What's the gift?" Shiina Kiri asked curiously with her head down, giving the full emotional value.

"Na!"

She placed a glass jar filled with paper cranes into Shiina Kiri's hands.

The bottle wasn’t big, but judging by the faint dark circles under her eyes, it was probably folded last night.

Shiina Kiri smiled and thanked him again. After praising Io for his cleverness, he turned to look at Kobayakawa Ikki and asked, "What has the class leader prepared?"

"I bought the cake, carry it in yourself." Kobayakawa Ikki pointed to the 20-inch cake on the ground, "Also, clean up the door."

"Let me clean it up."

After hearing what Gensou Yuuka said, Shiina Kiri shrugged at Kobayakawa Ikki.

"Then I'll trouble you, Jiexia."

He didn't keep arguing over such a small matter, but when Gensou Yuuka was cleaning, he stood by her side consciously, and handed her the garbage bag after she finished cleaning, so as not to really treat her as a tool.

"You guys sit in the living room for a while. I'll take out the trash and be right back." Shiina Kiri picked up another trash bag that was cleared at the door that morning. "By the way, there are drinks and fruits in the refrigerator."

"understood."

After closing the door, Shiina Kiri walked downstairs quickly, and then looked behind him stealthily. Seeing that no one was following him, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number. It was nothing for Gensou Yuuka and Kobayakawa Kazuki to come to his house to play, and it was nothing during the summer vacation, but it was too dangerous when it was his birthday.

What if Asakura Otoya plans to give him a surprise and suddenly shows up at his doorstep? When they meet, the situation might be even more terrifying than the last time at the convenience store.

This situation is not impossible. After all, although Asakura Oto has not truly forgiven him, their relationship has eased a lot.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to take off her socks on Valentine's Day.

The phone rang a few times and then was hung up, and soon there was a new message on the line.

Asakura Oto: Class
Shiina Kiri couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although both of them are in high school, they are not in the same place after all. Yuki High School is a private school, so it is normal that they have different holiday schedules.

Shiina Kiri: Haven’t you had your holiday yet?

Asakura: Tomorrow
Shiina Kiri: Okay, then you go to class first, we can talk later

After sending the message, he threw the bag in his hand into the trash can on the side of the road and turned around and walked back the way he came.

When he returned to the rental house, Gensho Yuuka and Kobayakawa Kazuki were making longevity noodles and fruit platters in the kitchen. It seemed that they were planning to make his birthday more ceremonial.

Although it is called a kitchen, it is actually on the window side of the living room, so you can see everything going on in the kitchen while sitting on the sofa.

Compared to Gensei Yuuka's skill, Kobayakawa Ikki's knife skills are much worse, and you can even tell by the different sounds of collision.

"Squad leader, don't feel so guilty about not preparing a gift that you cut your hand to apologize. I won't eat the blood if it splashes on me." Shiina Kiri snorted.

Kobayakawa Ikki looked up at him, then glanced upwards again: "Come and help."

Shiina Kiri did not refuse. She put down the cards in her hand, let Gensei Io play by herself, then stood up and walked towards her.

"Did you just roll your eyes, squad leader? Hey, are you kidding me? I'm the birthday boy today, shouldn't you give me some face?"

But Kobayakawa Ikki was not tolerant at all. He held the knife and pen and handed it to him directly. If he had been faster, he would have used the verb "stab".

Shiina Kiri quickly grabbed the handle of the knife and opened and closed his lips, but no word came out.

Kobayakawa Ikki sneered, turned around and turned on the faucet, and said coldly while washing his hands: "You didn't sleep well last night."

"Why do you ask?" Shiina Kiri denied it and picked up the peeled apple beside her and started cutting it into pieces.

"Just now, Jiexia and I spent quite a while looking for a fruit knife."

Shiina Kiri: “…”

You, a dead middle school boy, have indeed watched that harem anime where they hug each other's heads.

He suspected that the meaningful look that Kobayakawa Kazuki gave him before leaving school yesterday was meant to disgust him.

"Yeah, Shiina-san, why do you put all the knives in the cupboard?" Gensou Yuuka, who was obviously not on the channel, echoed.

"Well... I just put it there when I was cleaning this morning." Shiina Kiri said perfunctorily, awkwardly.

"Oh…"

Although he found it strange, Gensei Yuka was not the type to get to the bottom of things.
