Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Erina Kamishiro's black leather shoes, clad in white socks, made a clattering sound on the road.

As she walked silently along the road, she couldn't help but recall the breakfast Bai Feng had made earlier, and couldn't help but savor it. Looking at Bai Feng beside her, who had a calm expression, she asked curiously:

"Bai Feng, where exactly did you learn your cooking skills recently?"

Why does the food I've been making lately taste a little different from before?

Shiro Shiro shrugged and said:

"The way of cooking is still similar to before, it's all the same."

Erina pouted and complained:

"Why does your cooking taste so different from before?"

Bai Feng's lips curled up slightly as he chuckled:

"Because I've finally realized that the true essence of cooking is to put love into it!"

"With love, even a glass of lemonade can taste delicious!"

Erina was slightly taken aback:

"real or fake?"

Bai Feng said with a serious expression

"Seriously, even pearls aren't this real!"

Erina frowned and muttered to herself.

She remembered that Shiro Shiro's cooking wasn't very good before.

Is the reason why it's been getting tastier lately really because of that weird love?

Was the reason her cooking wasn't good before because she didn't take it seriously and didn't put love into it?

Is that so?

Never mind, I'll try it when I have time!

And in the middle of their conversation.

Mizuno Maki, who was behind them, also noticed the scene of Shirakaze and Erina chatting.

After witnessing this scene, she felt a little short of breath.

What exactly is the relationship between Kamishiro-kun and this girl?

Why do they go to school together every day?

Maki Mizuno shook her head, trying to get the strange thought out of her mind.

She felt that her thoughts had been a bit strange lately.

Her relationship with other girls was none of her business.

Anyway, she and Kamishiro-kun were just classmates.

Why should we care about other people's private affairs?

Why have I become so nosy these days?

Yes, I shouldn't overthink it!

I don't need to care what happens between Kamishiro-kun and what kind of relationship they have!

Maki Mizuno took a deep breath and tried to restore her usual expression.

Not a moment.

They all boarded the subway.

Today is Saturday.

Many office workers are taking a break.

The carriages looked relatively empty.

There are a few seats available.

Shiro Kaede then unceremoniously found a seat and sat down.

Mizuno Maki, who was also looking for a seat, noticed that there was a seat next to Kamishiro Hakufu.

But at this time.

Her usually aloof face now showed a hesitation that was never seen before.

After a moment of silence, Mizuno Maki still did not choose to sit next to him, but instead sat in the empty seat diagonally opposite him.

at this time.

Erina's classmates noticed that there was a seat to the left of Shirakaze.

One of the girls, named Fujiyama Harumi, exclaimed in surprise:

"There are a few seats here, let's go sit down."

The other two girls noticed Shirafumi's presence and immediately stammered:

"Ah this."

"I think we need it from other places too, how about that?"

Fujiyama Harumi didn't care about any of that and said with a smile:

"That's it, why are you walking around?"

"Right, Erina?"

Erina Kamishiro gave an awkward laugh and said, "You guys decide."

"Okay, this is it!" Fujiyama Harumi sat down without waiting for their reply.

talking.

Fujiyama Harumi sat down directly next to Kamishiro Shirokaze.

Erina Kamishiro felt somewhat unhappy when she saw Harumi Fujiyama sitting next to Shirakaze Kamishiro.

But she didn't know what to say.

I had no choice but to sit to the left of Fujiyama Harumi.

Seeing this, the other two classmates had no choice but to sit down next to Erina.

Bang, bang, bang.

The tram moved slowly.

Fujiyama Harumi glanced furtively at Shirafumi beside her, swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and then nervously spoke:

"Um, hello."

When Shiro Kaede heard someone speak to him, he turned to look at Fujiyama Harumi.

Realizing that this person was Erina's best friend, he thought for a moment and replied:

"Hello, what's wrong?"

Fujiyama Harumi's face showed a hint of surprise; she hadn't expected Kamishiro-kun to reply to her.

But when she noticed that Kamishiro was looking at her, she became nervous again, quickly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear on the right side, and stammered shyly:

"Um... I noticed we're from the same school."

"We take the same tram to school at the same time every day, and I just feel like it might be a little strange if we run into each other every day without saying hello."

"So I just wanted to say hello or something."

Shiro Kaede paused, as if about to reply.

He suddenly felt a very piercing gaze.

He turned his head and looked in Erina's direction.

Erina was pouting and glaring at him fiercely.

Shiro Shiro speculated that Erina might be worried about her and her identity being exposed.

After thinking for a while, he could only give a typical straight-man reply, trying his best not to get involved with the girl in any way.

"No way, this train isn't just carrying a few students from the private Xiujin Academy."

Although Fujiyama Harumi felt a little awkward, it was somewhat expected, and she smiled and changed the subject:

"Haha, that's true."

"But our situation is a little different now."

"After all, we just happened to sit together."

"It would be a bit strange not to say hello at such a close distance."

"Hello, I am Harumi Fujiyama from Class 1-B."

Seeing that everyone else had introduced themselves, Shiro Kaede didn't know what to say and also introduced himself:

"Hello, I am Shiro Kaede from Class A."

“Kamishiro-kun?” Fujiyama Harumi said thoughtfully, then smiled. “I remember you were the freshman representative at the opening ceremony yesterday, right? Your speech yesterday was really good. Many students in my class thought it was great.”

"well enough."

Fujiyama Harumi smiled and said, "We don't have classes on Saturday afternoon. What are your plans, Kamishiro-kun? How about we go somewhere together this afternoon?"

Shiro Kaede noticed that Erina's gaze was becoming increasingly piercing, and he smiled helplessly, "No, I have to go to work this afternoon."

Fujiyama Harumi slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing, "Oh, I see. I almost forgot that Kamishiro-kun was on TV, I think he worked at Ichiran Ramen?"

"Correct."

Fujiyama Harumi said regretfully, "Alright then, it seems we'll have to wait until Kamishiro-kun is free to go out together again."

After saying these words.

Fujiyama Harumi also knew that she shouldn't bring up any more topics now.
