Chapter 257 Hoshino Ai's 'Prank'

Maybe it was because he had been thinking about "fusion" before, so when he was making omelette rice this time, he also made some fusion.

“Will this really taste good?”

After listening to his introduction, Jizi's face immediately showed a look of suspicion and vigilance.

After all, teriyaki rice is teriyaki rice, and omurice is omurice. It looks a bit strange to combine the two, right? What's more, Iura Hide also added mashed potatoes to it, which is even weirder, right?
For this part, Hideo Iura actually referred to Japanese curry and potato rice in Chinese cuisine. As for whether it would taste good, Hideo Iura was really not sure at all.

However, Kitagawa Umi and Hoshino Ai on the side showed very interested expressions after listening.

Especially Kitagawa Umi, who particularly likes foods such as fried rice and rice bowls, can't wait to taste the "creative" omelette rice in front of her.

"I'm starting~!"

Two minutes later, when Hideya Iura returned to the table with his omelette rice and miso soup and sat down, today's dinner officially began.

As a large spoonful of rice that was completely blended with mashed potatoes and filled with beef broth was put into his mouth, Iura Hide's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

"good to eat!"

“The flavors are surprisingly rich!”

"Fortunately it's not a dark dish."

Kitagawa, Umi and the other two also gave positive comments, which made Iura Hide couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, Senior, there seems to be a hegemony show in this season's new anime. How about we go watch it together after we finish eating?"

"Okay!"

Jing Pu Xiu looked at Kitagawa Haimeng's cute face with puffy cheeks like a hamster eating, and couldn't help but reach out to remove the rice grains on the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "But if it's Haimeng-chan, she should prefer to watch while eating, right? I'll go get the tablet now~"

Kitagawa Umi looked at Iura Hide who didn't give her any chance to refuse, and just stood up to get the tablet. She was stunned at first, and then she giggled foolishly, and couldn't help feeling touched and sweet in her heart.

She also didn't expect that Jingpu Xiu still remembered her "bad habit".

In Japan, where dining rituals and etiquette are very important, watching anime while eating is indeed not a good habit, especially for girls.

However, because she was always alone at home and only had anime to keep her company, she unknowingly developed the habit of eating a cold lunch box while watching anime on her tablet.

Now, although the cold bento has been replaced with freshly baked steaming omelette rice, she can still eat while watching, and even have her favorite person accompany her. This is simply too happy for her.

Then Kitagawa Umi suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Motoko and Hoshino Ai beside her.

When she saw how calm they looked, without any dissatisfaction or disgust, and instead curiously asked what anime it was, the indescribable happiness and emotion in her heart suddenly rose to a higher level, and a bright smile blossomed at the corners of her mouth.

“It’s a food travel show about a different world! I haven’t seen it yet, but it must be amazing that an anime of this theme can achieve such a good reputation and success.”

Soon the tablet was brought over.

The four of them also squeezed together from their original rigid sitting positions.

They still had dinner together and watched anime together. Although there were only four of them today, which was much fewer than the previous two days, it did not become lonely at all. Instead, it was even warmer.

While eating omelette rice and watching anime, Iura Hide couldn't help but look at Kitagawa Umi and Hoshino Ai beside him. For the first time, the thought "It would be great if I hadn't met Mashiro, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri and the others" popped up in his mind.

Unfortunately, there is no if in life. At this point, he can no longer let go of Mashiro, Eriri and the others.

He was even too greedy to let go of Kyoko Hori and Pochi-chan.

"Alas, I wanted to be a pure love warrior, but how come I became the Sea King?"

Iura Hide couldn't help but secretly despise himself in his heart, and then after taking a bath together, he couldn't wait to pull Kitagawa Umi back to the room, and soloed again for almost two hours with Kitagawa Umi, who had rested for a few days and was already back to her peak condition.

Even though his condition had not fully recovered, he still achieved an amazing record of 3 to 11.

However, after these two hours of solos, Kitagawa Umi was very satisfied, but Motoko and Hoshino Ai were not.
“Onii-chan is really something!”

In their respective rooms, Motoko and Hoshino Ai withdrew their hands in tacit understanding, blushed, and endured the waves of fatigue that kept coming from their bodies, and hurriedly cleaned up the traces of the crime left behind.

Although this kind of thing should be blamed on the poor soundproofing of the room, or on Kitagawa Umi being too loud, but after all, Iura Hide is her older sister.

"No, let's go wash it again!"

After cleaning up the traces of the crime, Motoko and Hoshino Ai thought for a moment and decided to go to the bathroom to wash up again.

As a result, two sliding door sounds were heard in the corridor almost at the same time.

The next second, Motoko and Hoshino Ai, who were about to go out, stopped at the same time and stood there in a daze.

Then, after noticing the blush on each other's faces that had not yet faded, they suddenly seemed to understand something.

For a moment, not to mention Motoko, even Hoshino Ai couldn't help blushing.

But just when the shy Motoko was about to close the door again and escape back to her room, Hoshino Ai, who had recently caught up on a lot of niche comics and anime and whose theoretical knowledge had surpassed Motoko, suddenly remembered something and hurried over to grab her.

"Nei-chan, it's hard to be alone, right?"

"Eh? I. I. didn't."

"Hehe, it's okay, let's go take a shower together! Besides, I have a way to make Nei-chan no longer feel uncomfortable~"

"."

Motoko looked at Hoshino Ai suspiciously, always feeling that she was up to something bad.

But whether out of curiosity or something else, she finally let Hoshino Ai pull her to the bathroom.

After a while.
"Huh? Why is the bathroom light still on?"

Jingpu Shucai, who wanted to go downstairs to get himself a glass of water because of thirst, noticed that the light in the bathroom was on when he walked out of the room, which made him a little confused. Tonight, there were only four people at home, him, Kitagawa Umi, Motoko, and Hoshino Ai, and they had taken a bath together before.

"Could it be that Jizi and Xiaoai forgot to turn off the lights when they left?"

Without thinking much, Jingpu Xiu turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

As a result, he had only taken two steps when he noticed a strange sound coming from the bathroom. He also noticed that the bathroom door was not completely closed, and there was a gap as wide as two fingers.

Then he didn't know what happened, he subconsciously held his breath, lightened his steps, and moved to the crack of the door.

Then when he saw the scene clearly, his pupils trembled, his blood boiled instantly, and his heart almost exploded.

More than ten minutes passed before he finally came to his senses as the strange sound ended, and then he fled as fast as he could like a guilty thief.

And just as he turned to leave, Hoshino Ai, who had been pretending not to notice him, turned her head to look at him. The corners of her mouth slightly raised and she couldn't help but reveal a cute smile like a little fox who had successfully played a prank. Then she quickly wiped off the water stains and pulled Motoko, who was yawning and could hardly open her eyes, out of the bathroom.

And then.
Just as Iura Hide was full of thoughts and couldn't help wanting to wake up the sleeping Kitagawa Umi to start another game, the tightly closed door was suddenly opened from the outside.

"Huh? Xiao Ai!?"

"Let me help Onii-chan!"

"But--"

"It's okay as long as you don't get in~"

"."

He had originally planned to go to bed early, but because of this sudden accident, he finally fell asleep until one o'clock in the morning.

"Luckily tomorrow is Monday"

This was his last thought before he fell asleep.

To be honest, even after traveling to the world of anime, he had never wanted to go to school as much as he did at this moment!
In the following week, because Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, and Sugaya Noha always found excuses to come to his house and stay overnight, Iura Hide had to be forced to become a time management master and play games with them.

If he didn't have time to rest during the day, he probably wouldn't have been able to bear it even with his extraordinary physical strength.

"No wonder those middle-aged office workers like to go to a pub after work to have a drink and get drunk before going home."

Jingura Hide suddenly understood the helplessness of these poor middle-aged office workers.

However, apart from the fact that physical strength is always consumed as soon as it is restored, other aspects are quite good.

He no longer needed to work so hard, and with the company of Kyoko Hori, Mashiro and Yuki Yoshikawa, he finally experienced the joy of the happy education in Neon High School.

And because he is a celebrity on campus, the songs "If You Can Shine" and "Youth Syndrome" took the 9th and 15th place on the weekly chart respectively this week. In addition, "Sold Out" continued to dominate the chart, and "Night Dance" dropped to 20th place. He achieved the amazing achievement of having four songs in the top of the weekly chart, which many first-line singers have not achieved. However, his life on campus was not greatly affected.

Even if there were female fans who wanted to get close to him, they would have to give up dejectedly after seeing Mashiro and Hori Kyoko following him like little tails.

As for Pochi-chan, with the popularity of her previous performance video, she was recognized by more and more classmates, and finally achieved the achievement she had always dreamed of, becoming a campus celebrity.

This made Pochi so excited that she played the guitar in the closet of her room all night long. Even though her closet and room were soundproofed, it still kept her whole family, including the Shiba Inu Jimmy Henry, awake all night.

If it were an ordinary person, for example, a brother and sister like Motoko and Iura Hide, Motoko would probably have banged on Iura Hide's door a long time ago.

But the Goto family is so kind, even the five-year-old Goto is very sensible, so.
The next morning, everyone in the Goto family except Jimmy Henry had dark circles under their eyes, yawned continuously, and looked listless.

This made Pochi-chan, who didn't know the inside story, look confused.

"Could it be that Oga-san and Odou-san also knew that I had become a campus celebrity, so they were as happy as I was and couldn't sleep all night?"

Pochi-chan thought about it and felt that this might be the reason.

Then she put the matter behind her and frowned at the mirror.

"Should I cover these dark circles with makeup? After all, I'm a campus celebrity now. Will having two dark circles under my eyes affect my image as a campus celebrity?"

Thinking of this, Pochi immediately asked Ogasan for makeup tools, and after some work, she successfully gave herself a smoky look.

There was no other way. With her limited makeup skills, it was too difficult for her to cover her dark circles without leaving any traces.

On the contrary, smoky makeup or something like that only needs a little bit of application.

"It just so happens that I am the senior's personal guitarist. I am putting on smoky makeup now to prepare for my future performance on the Budokan stage~"

Pochi-chan, who has finally become a campus celebrity, is now full of confidence.

However, she soon discovered that becoming a campus celebrity was not as good as she had imagined.

Because even if she became a campus celebrity, it couldn't change her extreme social phobia.

People like Hori Kyoko and Yoshikawa Yuki, who had lunch together every day, were fine. Although they still spoke haltingly, at least they could communicate normally.

But for those other unfamiliar classmates who came to talk to her or even take photos with her, the only result was that she stammered for a long time without being able to say a single word, and in the end her panicked expression completely collapsed and turned into an emoticon package.

Of course, if that were all, that would be fine.

The most important thing is that someone posted a photo of himself and Pochi-chan on his social account, and then Pochi-chan successfully became a little famous on the Internet with his emoticons, but he is almost going to be socially dead.

She wants to be a celebrity, a star, but she has never thought of relying on emoticons!

If it weren't for Iura Hide and Hori Kyoko who took turns to comfort her, and most importantly, if she couldn't see Iura Hide only by coming to school, she wouldn't have wanted to come to school at all.

As for Iura Hide, after spending a peaceful week, when the time came again to Friday, which was the release date of the second volume of "April", he finally encountered a storm.

"Xiaoxun, she's actually dead!?"
