My Romance Simulation with Them

What Nanxiang recorded was not just the notes he took in class.

same.

Outside of the classroom, teachers do not teach.

Nanxiang also meticulously recorded his notes and his own understanding.

"..." Akane Shinjo was speechless at this point.

No wonder Nanxiang Shi could easily get first place in the grade in every test.

He was already a genius, and then he put in the effort that was second to none.

If Nango didn't get first place in the grade, that would surprise Shinjo Akane even more.

What kind of monster is this...?

Looking at Nanxiang Shi, who continued to bury himself in his studies and didn't even glance at this perfect girl, she saw him.

Akane Shinjo sighed inwardly—

Nango-sensei is just too amazing...

Do not!

wrong!

What are you thinking about, Akane Shinjo?

Akane Shinjo gently patted her cheeks, which were now burning hot.

Don't forget it!

This is the guy who's been tormenting you ever since school!

You actually developed feelings for him?

Although he did take you in and did help you with the novel manuscript... but... he also bullied you like that before!

Do you have feelings of admiration for someone who bullies you like this?

Teacher from Nanxiang?

Akane Shinjo, has your brain completely broken?

The little figures in her mind started running around.

She's always been the one in charge at school; she's the one who truly controls other people's actions and emotions! She's Shinjo Akane!

Then--

"New Article".

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Nango's voice, Shinjo Akane sat up, her back straight.

"Get up, I'm going to cook. You can help me."

Nanxiang spoke with a commanding tone.

"it is good."

Akane Shinjo almost instinctively and obediently agreed.

But soon, her mouth twitched.

no!

It shouldn't be like this!

The correct development should have been that Nanxiang ran around for him and served him.

All I had to do was happily drink my beverage and wait for Nanxiang to bring out the prepared food.

Why is it that I suddenly have to help Nanxiang Shi as soon as he asks for my help?

Ugh!

Forget it.

Shinjo Akane glanced at Nango Toki with her crimson eyes.

Although Nanxiang was somewhat annoying, at least he did help me a lot today.

Hmm... Ah... Hmm...

Shinjo Akane finally stood up, tied her apron, and went to Nango Toki's side, speaking crisply and decisively:

"Southern Township".

"Ok?"

Nango Toki, who was pondering what to do tonight, glanced at Shinjo Akane.

What do I need to do?

Akane Shinjo simply asked a question.

"Just help me with something. You should be able to do simple things like peeling potatoes, right?"

When Nanxiang spoke, he opened his mouth to answer.

And this answer.

Even Akane Shinjo, who was about to help, was stunned for a moment.

She opened her mouth: "...That's all?"

Her understanding of "helping out" probably meant that when Nango was preparing the main dish for the day, she would help prepare side dishes such as miso soup.

but...

When I was in Nanxiang, all I asked her to do was help peel the skin?

This...doesn't it feel like someone's just doing nothing?

"I feel I should help you more."

Akane Shinjo made her stance clear and straightforward.

Since I'm just helping out anyway, there's no need to be too lazy.

She took the initiative to express her opinion.

But Nanxiang shook his head: "No."

"Why...?"

"I always feel that the food you cook will taste terrible. So you just need to handle the ingredients."

Nanxiang looked suspicious and doubtful.

ha?

What is this man saying?

I don't know why, but I noticed the doubt in Nanxiang's eyes.

Akane Shinjo's previously calm emotions were stirred up once again.

What's wrong with this guy?

Are they looking down on her, the perfect girl at school?

Because of the perfect mask she always wears on the outside, cooking isn't a difficult thing for Akane Shinjo.

And Akane Shinjo often makes bento boxes when she's in the mood...

To be fair, Akane Shinjo doesn't think that Toki Nanago, who only knows how to study, is better at cooking than she is.

"I usually cook at home, and having my help will only make the food taste better."

Akane Shinjo made her bold statement with a very serious expression.

I estimate any boy of the same age.

Seeing her expression, everyone would immediately nod in agreement and entrust her with all the tasks of assisting her.

but--

"No."

Nanxiang was still shaking his head.

“......” Shinjo Akane.

Akane Shinjo's mouth dropped open.

"You've been speaking very casually since just now, it feels like you're doing it reluctantly."

Nango shook his head, speaking bluntly with disdain: "Even something as simple as miso soup can't taste good if it's not made with heart. Don't waste my ingredients. You should just peel them for me."

“......” Shinjo Akane.

She finally couldn't take it anymore.

She stood up abruptly and snatched the spatula from Nanxiang without hesitation.

"Nanxiang, you sit down! Just sit there and wait!"

"Hmm?" Nango Toki couldn't help but look up at Shinjo Akane after hearing this: "I'm supposed to sit and wait? About dinner...?"

"No need! I can do it all by myself!"

"I don't think you can do it, let me help you instead."

Nanxiang seemed still somewhat uneasy, and stood up with a frown, saying...

"I already said I don't need it! You just sit there and wait for me to finish cooking!"

After glaring fiercely at Nango, Shinjo Akane rolled up her sleeves and began bustling around the stove by herself.

Originally, she just planned to casually cook something and that would be it.

But after being looked at with a look of disgust by Nanxiang, and hearing his words, "I don't think you're good enough,"

She genuinely felt her blood pressure rising.
