After all, we often see them at Monday morning meetings.

However, the short, thin old man next to him, surrounded by the vice principal and the dean of students, was unrecognizable.

never seen it.

Although not tall, he walks with a commanding presence.

He looks like a government official.

Students and parents couldn't help but murmur:

"Is he some important person? Why does he need the principal and director to accompany him?"

"I heard it was someone from the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education."

"No wonder!"

"I think I've seen him on TV before..."

"I remember now, it's a member of parliament named Taro Abe. He's a close confidant of the governor!"

"No wonder, he must be a very important person!"

"..."

The governor is the highest-ranking administrative official of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

He has 160,000 government employees in Tokyo under his command, accounting for 40% of Japan's annual tax revenue, and lives a more comfortable life than the prime minister!

Taro Abe is a member of parliament, a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, and a close confidant of the governor. It is normal for him to receive such a high-level reception when he visits the Minegashiro University Affiliated School.

……

Saying.

As Abe Taro and the others walked along, they saw that the door to Class 3-A's classroom was completely blocked.

I was immediately curious.

Just then, a delicious aroma of food wafted over.

"smell good!"

A group of middle-aged and elderly men, whose combined age was several hundred, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"It's very lively over there."

Abe Taro's eyes lit up, and he said subconsciously.

Principal Suzuki Mikawa looked at the Dean of Students Watanabe Makoto.

Watanabe Makoto quickly said, "I'll go take a look."

Unfortunately, there were too many people, completely blocking the corridor, so we had to squeeze through.

His actions immediately provoked dissatisfaction from others.

"Why are you pushing? We're in line!"

However, upon recognizing the familiar yet stern face, she instantly cowered: "Ah? It's...it's the head of student affairs..."

Watanabe Makoto suppressed the urge to curse and forced a smile, asking, "Excuse me, what's going on inside?"

The student being questioned said timidly, "I heard that their curry rice, miso soup and grilled fish are all very delicious, the kind that can make you happy to tears. Everyone is lining up to eat there."

"What did you say?!"

The head of the teaching department suspected there was something wrong with his ears.

It's delicious, which is understandable, but why am I crying tears of happiness?

Is this some kind of acting?!

The student quickly waved his hand: "I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's true. But my classmates have tried it and that's what they all said, so I came to queue up. Director, you can tell by looking at the expressions on the faces of the customers inside."

Makoto Watanabe looked inside—

really!

Every single customer dining there was filled with satisfaction, amazement, and happiness; not a single one of them frowned.

So exaggerated?

He stared wide-eyed, still somewhat incredulous.

……

At this time.

Makoto Watanabe noticed a beautiful girl with brown twin tails dressed as a maid trying her best to maintain order, so he went over and asked, "Excuse me, is your class representative here?"

Setsuna was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Hello, Director Watanabe, I am Setsuna Kogiso, the class representative of Class A."

Makoto Watanabe slapped his forehead: "Oh, I remember now, it's Kogiso-kun. I heard that your curry rice, miso soup, and grilled fish are all very delicious, right?"

Yukina smiled and said, "Yes, one of our classmates has an exceptional talent for cooking. The food he makes is even better than that of high-end restaurants, which is why so many people come here."

Watanabe Makoto quickly said, "Could you buy me a few portions? A very important person is visiting our school and, out of curiosity, wants to try it. This is related to the school's image, you know what I mean?"

Is that so?

After a moment of surprise, Yukina nodded quickly: "I understand! Please wait a moment, Headmaster!"

I need to talk to Lin Youshu about this.

It's ridiculous that they specifically requested food made by Lin Jun.

"Big shot?!"

Lin Youshu, who was busy in the cooking area, wanted to say "What's it to me?" when he heard Xuecai's words.

He has met far too many important people.

However, seeing how expectant she was, he changed his mind and said, "In that case, why don't you pack a few more portions for him? Big shots are used to eating delicacies, so maybe they'll find our humble food quite enjoyable!"

That's a bit sarcastic.

This prompted Yukina to give him a reproachful glare.

Then he said with a grin, "Don't worry! Lin Jun's skills will definitely surprise them!"

She had great confidence in Lin Youshu's abilities.

If someone doesn't like it, then there must be something wrong with their sense of taste!

The pickled mustard greens were packed for ten people, and two students were assigned to accompany the head of student affairs to deliver the food.

……

I saw Watanabe Makoto rushing back, carrying two large bags full of food and covered in sweat.

Abe Taro laughed heartily, "It feels like going back to my school days, queuing up for food in the cafeteria! Suzuki-san, let's try the delicious food Watanabe-san bought!"

Suzuki Mikawa, an old friend of his, smiled and said, "As long as you don't mind my poor hospitality, I certainly won't mind."

Abe Taro wasn't picky; he simply placed his lunchbox on the railing beside him and broke apart his chopsticks. (Sheep)

Then open the lunchbox.

Immediately, a steaming aroma of curry rice wafted out.

"This aroma is extraordinary!"

Abe Taro exclaimed in surprise.

Like him, Suzuki Mikawa, who was next to him, was also very surprised when he opened his lunchbox.

"Looks like all these people are queuing up because they're really here for this delicious food?"

To be honest, he didn't have high expectations beforehand. As long as it wasn't too bad, he was willing to accept it to please his distinguished guest.

However, it seems to be better than I imagined.

"I've been walking around for a while, and I'm a little hungry."

So Abe Taro picked up a small piece of beef and put it in his mouth.

The accompanying photographer quickly captured the moment.

I've already come up with the news headline.

Let's call it "Member of Parliament Taro Abe visits Minegashima University Affiliated School and tastes food prepared by students!"

"This is...!!!"

next second.

Abe Taro's eyes widened, his fingers unconsciously loosening their grip on the chopsticks, yet the chopsticks remained in his mouth.

This look stunned everyone around.

What, what's going on?!

At this moment, Abe Taro's thoughts drifted back thirty years...

"I am back."

At the time, he was young, fresh out of university, and had found a decent-paying but very tiring job. It was during this time that he met his future wife, Sato Shizuka.

Every evening, his wife would prepare a hot meal for him when he came home, the most common being curry rice.

Although they weren't well-off, the young couple were content.

His wife's curry rice was a staple for him for almost thirty years, until she passed away from illness a few years ago.

A single, cloudy tear, the size of a soybean, slid down Abe Taro's cheek.

"Jingzi..."

A prominent political figure, well past fifty, actually cried in front of everyone.

The dean of students and others nearby panicked immediately, and even Principal Suzuki Mikawa could no longer remain calm.

What's going on here?!
