Miss Heir wasn't very kind to me.

Chapter 35: "Starry Night - Continued"

Tune the guitar with the strings changed and put it in the guitar bag.

Masumi walked down the stairs and before he opened the back door and walked into the courtyard behind the coffee shop, the aroma of barbecue had already wafted to his nose.

"Wow, this piece of meat is high-grade Wagyu, right? The fat on it looks amazing, I'll take it—"

Mami stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of half-cooked meat that was still stained with blood from the iron mesh. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she was stopped by another girl with black hair and purple eyes.

"Sister Mami, this piece of meat is only half roasted."

She put the meat slices back on the iron grill to roast, and at the same time picked up a piece of roasted beef tongue and handed it to Mami.

"If you don't want to get an upset stomach, eat this first."

"what--"

Mami opened her mouth wide, as if waiting to be fed.

The black-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her chopsticks and put them close to Mami's lips. The latter avoided the front end of the chopsticks, bit the beef tongue with a "ah-wu" and swallowed it into her mouth.

"Wow~ It's delicious! I declare that grilled beef tongue is the best in the world!"

The barbecue party is going on in full swing in the starry courtyard.

"Come on, Masumi-san, open your mouth——"

The girl who suddenly came up to Masumi and picked up food with chopsticks and fed him had short light hair that reached her shoulders, emerald eyes and three-dimensional mixed-race facial features, leaving a very deep impression on people.

Masumi pursed her lips, not quite accepting such feeding, but the thinly sliced ​​beef tongue picked up by the chopsticks was dripping with grease at the corner of her mouth, and the girl's face showed an expression that was hard to refuse.

He finally opened his mouth obediently and accepted the feeding.

Chew chew
Mmmm, delicious.

The reason why it is rolled is that the beef tongue is wrapped with salt and chopped green onions for seasoning.

The beef tongue is fresh, with a delicate and chewy texture.

"How is it? It's delicious, right?"

"Well, thank you, Qian Ai."

Masumi gave the girl in front of him a slight nod.

Chiai Asahina, his childhood sweetheart who is three years younger than him. Thanks to her help in redesigning the uniform for Fanxing, the uniform has become very popular among the customers, especially the female customers.

"It's no big deal. I was having fun designing clothes, and when I thought about the clothes I designed being worn by such a beautiful girl, especially Rin--"

As she spoke, Qian Ai couldn't help but glance at the girl with long black hair who was concentrating on cooking barbecue not far away.

Rinne Kamishiro is the heir and acting manager of this coffee shop. Ever since that dangerous trip to the welfare home, the distance between the two seems to have shortened a lot.

"The shoulder steak is ready too."

While using tongs to turn the meat over, Rinyin spoke softly to the others.

Beef shoulder steak has always been a relatively expensive cut. This piece of beef shoulder steak comes from a 5th-grade black-haired Wagyu beef produced in Hyogo Prefecture, and the fat texture is quite beautiful.

Before grilling, Rinin brushed it with a layer of sauce and sprinkled some sesame seeds. During the grilling process, she strictly controlled the heat to fry the surface while ensuring that the meat inside was tender and juicy.

Mami couldn't wait to pick up a piece, and the delicious taste quickly filled her teeth and cheeks.

"I declare, beef shoulder steak is heaven!" she exclaimed immediately after eating a piece of beef shoulder steak.

This is how the combat power in comic novels collapses.

"Eat more, Masumi-kun. You look so frail."

Mami picked up a piece of beef belly and said, "This one should be grilled. Here, bring the plate over."

"Wait - Sister Mami, only one side of the meat is cooked, and the other side is dripping with blood." Qian Ai quickly stopped her.

"I've baked this one, here you go."

With a deadpan expression, Rinne Kamishiro picked up the barbecue tongs, scooped up the fragrant beef, and gently placed it on Masumi's plate. "Masumi-san, try mine too. It's Peruvian style." Of course, they didn't go all out on Wagyu beef this time; instead, they imported beef from South America.

"Oh, thank you."

The plate was quickly filled with a mountain of beef. What was this enthusiasm?

Masumi looked at the three girls in front of him. Rin'in still had her usual cold expression, and her emotions were completely unreadable. Chi'ai smiled sweetly, and Asami was just watching the show.

Never mind, this is not bad.

If the relationship between them is harmonious, the operation of the coffee shop will be smoother.

"Okay, let's toast!" Asami raised her glass.

For today's barbecue party, she specially took out her treasured Junmai Daiginjo sake.

According to her, this bottle of wine was specially prepared by Mami's father when she was born. It was buried underground on the shore of Lake Biwa for 18 years before it was taken out and has been treasured ever since.

If Masumi hadn't seen the production date of three months ago printed on the packaging, she would have believed it.

But why does this statement always seem familiar? It must have been plagiarized from somewhere.

"It feels like something is missing." Asami looked around.

"Where's Little Future?"

"She just said she was going to the kitchen to prepare the vegetables," said Rin.

"Then I'll go call her—" Mami was stopped by Masumi halfway through her walk, "I'll go over there, you enjoy your wine."

"Thank you very much."

Asami shook the cup towards him, then took a sip of sake and made an intoxicated sound: "Ah~ As expected of Daiginjo, it's amazing!"

Walking from the courtyard to the kitchen, I saw a girl with long brown hair chopping onions and green peppers on the chopping board.

In the distant future, he lives among the stars and is a quiet top student.

"Leave it to me to cut it, you go eat the barbecue first."

"If we don't hurry, Seno might eat all the good meat."

Masumi said jokingly.

"If you say that to Mami-san, it's not impossible." Kuon Mirai said with a smile: "Then let's cut it together. If two people work at the same time, it should be done quickly."

"it is good."

Masumi nodded, picked up the carrots from the table and put them under the tap to wash.

"Are you used to living here?" he asked casually.

"Yeah. After all, everyone takes good care of me."

“I was a little uneasy when I first arrived, but after spending some time with everyone, I felt like everyone was very close to me and that everyone had their own shining points.”

"Rinne-san is strong and serious, Chiai-san is cheerful and gentle, Masumi-san makes delicious coffee and has made a lot of efforts to improve the business conditions of Fanxing. And there's Mami-san... Mami-san is also very beautiful."

Masumi blinked and started slicing carrots.

The kitchen knife cut with a brisk rhythm on the chopping board. The two quickly prepared ingredients such as green peppers, onions, carrots, mushrooms and corn, put them on a tray, and returned to the venue of the barbecue meeting.

Now, all the people from Fanxing were present in the courtyard.

Asami raised her beloved Junmai Daiginjo, "Cheers!"

Several other girls also raised their juice drinks.

Although Masumi can drink alcohol, he usually doesn't. He doesn't like to get drunk, so he also drinks orange juice.

"Cheers."×5
