Machete Style Anime

Hearing her friend's laughter, which sounded like that of a slut, Eriri couldn't help but slap herself across the face.

'If Xiaoqiong's suitors at school saw her like this, they'd probably be instantly disillusioned.'

Of course, she knew very well that those people's opinions were completely insignificant to her friend.

Rather, she might be happier if there were fewer people with such a desire-driven mindset who would stuff love letters into the shoe cabinet at the drop of a hat.

As for how Eriri knew about this... don't forget, she's also one of the school beauties of Toyo no Ki!

Compared to the aloof beauty in the third grade, she carefully considered her words even when refusing others in order to maintain her approachable image as a wealthy young lady, for fear of saying the wrong thing and damaging her reputation.

This approach certainly made her very popular at school, but it also led to many rejected men sending her love letters again after a while, which annoyed her to no end.

So annoying~ but I can only keep smiling.jpg

After chuckling to herself for a while, Kasugano Sora suddenly realized that there were other people in the room.

Seeing the teasing smile on her friend's face, the girl's fair and delicate face unconsciously blushed.

"Hmph~ Since Xiaoqiong likes Kasugano so much, I can give you a suggestion."

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Sora couldn't help but show a look of doubt on her face.

She did not deny her friend's excellence, whether in terms of family background or artistic talent, she was superior to her.

But when it comes to romance...

Here's a joke: A woman who has been single for over ten years is going to teach her how to date and win over her crush.

Japanese high school students generally possess a basic skill—reading between the lines.

To what extent is it considered "basic"?

"Annoying," "uncool," and "lacking in social sensibilities" are the three forbidden phrases for Japanese high school girls.

Seeing the smile on her friend's face—a smile that only appeared when she heard topics she wasn't interested in or agreed with—Eri immediately bristled: "Don't underestimate me!"

"Although I've never been in a relationship, I still have some theoretical experience!"

"Just like how people who know a lot about cars are often poor guys who can't afford them, people who are very knowledgeable about dating are often single people who have never been in a relationship!"

Kasugano Sora's smile deepened at her friend's exasperated expression.

"Oh dear~ Eriri, don't be angry~"

"Fine, I'll listen to you, okay?"

While comforting her friend, she moved closer to her, hugged her, and rubbed her face against hers.

Under this double attack, even if Eriri wasn't really angry to begin with, her anger would be calmed down by Kasugano Sora's pet-like, affectionate way of comforting her owner.

"Humph!"

"If you weren't my good friend, Xiao Qiong, I wouldn't have told you the winning formula!"

"Hi hi hi~ Eriri is the best!"

"So, what is the winning formula?"

To be honest, Kasugano Sora was completely uninterested in the winning formula her friend had mentioned.

She and Eriri have been friends for quite some time, and the latter is rather naive, often revealing her true colors when discussing certain topics.

Therefore, the girl was well aware that her friend was a complete loser when it came to love.

Expecting her to offer any feasible suggestions is not a pipe dream, but the probability is only slightly higher than that of Halley's Comet hitting the Earth.

No, the reverse of the "loser" attribute is the same as the "female lead" treatment.

Therefore, you can simply listen to what she says in reverse.

"Although I haven't had much contact with Kasugano-san, both Sora and Megumi said he is very responsible."

"Then, why don't you just get Kasugano drunk, force him into a relationship, and make him take responsibility?"

"..."

After listening to her friend's advice, Kasugano Sora couldn't help but show the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

—Hey sis, what's wrong with you? Is this really advice a loser should give?

Eriri felt uncomfortable under her gaze and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why are you staring at me, Sora? Is there something on my face?"

Kasugano Sora turned her face away and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."

"I just didn't expect Eriri, who is usually so conservative, to make such a rebellious suggestion."

Eriri immediately perked up upon hearing this: "Hey~ I may not have eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run."

"Although I've never been in a relationship, the girls in my class often discuss this kind of topic, and after listening to them for a while, I naturally understand."

Upon learning the truth, Kasugano Sora clicked her tongue in amazement.

The netizens' comments are truly insightful.

"When girls flock together, they turn from little lambs into big bad wolves!"

……

After thinking it over carefully, Kasugano Sora said with some disappointment, "Although Eriri's suggestion is highly feasible, the success rate is almost nonexistent."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

“Both of us are minors in the future, so it’s almost impossible for us to drink outside. And if we drink at home, our parents will be there, so we’ll have concerns.”

"Most importantly, I don't like drinking in the future, and I'll only have a little bit during holidays."

"I see."

"But it's okay, your aunt and uncle support you and Kasugano-san, that's your biggest support."

"Ok!"

..............................................................................

When Kasugano Mirai arrived at their destination with Tokisaki Kurumi, she discovered that the latter had actually chosen a Chinese restaurant.

The moment he saw the store's name, his face was filled with resistance.

It's not that I don't like Chinese cuisine, but rather that when Chinese cuisine goes abroad, it undergoes localization to cater to foreign tastes, much like KFC and McDonald's.

Ever since Kasugano Mirai ate so-called Chinese cuisine such as General Tso's Chicken, Chop Suey, Baby Platter, Orange Chicken, Spring Rolls, and Fortune Cookies a few times, he lost faith in Chinese cuisine abroad and made it himself whenever he wanted to eat it.

Kurumi Tokisaki had been paying attention to the changes in Kasugano Mirai's expression. When she saw the disappointment and resistance on the latter's face, she immediately knew the answer.

"Future-san, you don't think I brought you to this Chinese restaurant, do you?"

Kasugano Mirai was taken aback: "Isn't that right?"

“Future Sang’s cooking skills are far superior to these chefs. If I want to eat Chinese cuisine, why should I eat out?”

After saying that, the girl took his arm and led him to the ramen shop next to the Tianchao Restaurant.

"It's that ramen shop next door!"

"Everyone gave it a high rating, come and try it."

Kasugano Mirai didn't speak; he was trying to shift his attention away from the soft touch coming from his arm.

Upon entering the store, a wave of heat hits you.

Kurumi Tokisaki glanced at the menu hanging on the wall, ordered a miso ramen for herself, and then looked up slightly at Mirai Kasugano: "Mirai-san, what flavor do you want?"

"One bowl of tonkotsu ramen, no chili."

"Then I'll have one miso ramen and one tonkotsu ramen."

"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir!"

While waiting for the food to be served, Kasugano Mirai kept staring at the girl.

If it were an ordinary girl, being stared at so intently would make her feel embarrassed, even if she had feelings for someone and wouldn't get angry, and she would turn her face away.

But Tokisaki Kurumi was true to her name; instead of backing down, she asked with a smile, "Mirai-san, you've been staring at me the whole time. Could it be that you're captivated by me?"

“…No, that’s not it.” Kasugano Mirai poured tea for him and the girl, then said hesitantly, “I just didn’t expect Kurumi to bring me here to eat ramen.”

This sentence means exactly what it says on the surface.

Japanese ramen is heavy on oil and salt, making it a nightmare for women who want to maintain their figure.

Although Tokisaki Kurumi is an elf and can maintain her size, the garlic in her ramen toppings is still a woman's nemesis.

Therefore, Kasugano Mirai was genuinely surprised by her choice.

Hearing his question, the girl smiled faintly: "Only love and food should not be let down, and I can bear to pay a little price for them."

Kasugano Mirai remained silent.

On today's date, the girl's advances became more and more intense, and he was starting to lose control. Now, he could only respond to her relentless pursuit with silence.

Kurumi Tokisaki wasn't disappointed at not receiving a reply.

Physical ailments are easy to treat, but mental ailments are difficult to cure.

If Kasugano Mirai's inner conflict were so easy to resolve, she wouldn't have been unable to make progress in her relationship for so long.

However, all the efforts have not been in vain.

—Constant dripping wears away a stone. Can we say that success is solely due to the last drop of water?

According to her observation, the other party's mental defenses were already crumbling, and if the pressure was increased further, they would completely collapse in an instant.

……

"Awaited!"

Just as Kasugano Mirai was feeling uneasy, the waiter came to his rescue.

The waiter placed two bowls of ramen on the table, held the tray, and bowed slightly to the two of them, saying, "Please enjoy your meal."

There's a term called "May sickness," which refers to the phenomenon where a person gradually gets used to the new life that started in April, and as the weather begins to warm up, they lose motivation and become lethargic and listless.

On the first day of the Golden Week holiday, Yukino Yukinoshita had no plans to go out.

Having few friends is one reason, but another is that her recent habit of getting up early to make lunchboxes has had some impact on her, to the point that all she wants to do is get a good night's sleep.
