Hinata frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "This was specially prepared for Aoba-kun. Besides, Yakumo, you should have had breakfast before coming here, right?"

"What does it matter? I'll just try it."

Yakumo looked at Hinata with hopeful eyes, knowing that Hinata was skilled at making tempura.

Moreover, fried food always easily stimulates people's appetite.

Even though she had already eaten breakfast, she couldn't resist the urge to eat after smelling the aroma.

"That will have to wait until Qingye finishes eating."

Hinata couldn't refuse any longer after seeing Yakumo's expression, but she definitely had to wait until Aoba had eaten his fill first.

However, she has done a lot, so it should be enough.

After wiping Shirokumo Aoba's mouth clean, Hinata opened the bento box that was on her lap.

The contents were fully revealed inside.

Besides fried shrimp, there are also fried scallops, fried cod, fried eggplant, fried tofu...

Anyway, there are all kinds of fried foods; everything can be fried.

It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to control the cooking time of so many different ingredients, but Hinata, with her Byakugan, is a natural tempura master.

So many fried foods made Shirakumo Aoba and Yakumo a little overwhelmed.

"Aoba-kun, hurry up and eat, it won't taste good if you leave it too long."

Hinata picked up a piece of tempura with her chopsticks and held it directly to Shirakumo Aoba's mouth.

"Okay, I'll start eating then."

Baiyun Qingye opened her mouth wide, bit off half of the fried shrimp on her chopsticks, and savored it carefully.

Although Hinata rushed over as soon as she finished cooking, as Hinata herself said, tempura loses its original flavor if left out for too long.

The originally crispy tempura batter had become somewhat soft after sitting in the bento box for a while.

However, the shrimp meat inside remained firm and bouncy, seemingly dancing on the tongue as you chewed, providing a delightful chewing experience with its plump texture.

"what about the taste?"

“It’s delicious,” he paused, pushing the remaining half of tempura on his chopsticks toward her lips. “You got up early to prepare this, Hinata, you probably haven’t had breakfast yet, have you?”

Hinata blushed slightly, then opened her small mouth and bit into the one that Shirokumo Aoba handed her. After chewing a few times, she pouted slightly.

"It really has to be freshly fried; it doesn't taste as good as when it was first fried..."

Baiyun Qingye smiled and said, "Although the coating does have a slight impact on the texture, the taste and texture of the ingredients inside are quite outstanding."

"But the texture of the batter is the most important part of fried food!"

Hinata picked up another piece of tempura and put it in her mouth, leaving a little juice on her lips, which glistened with oil.

"It's okay. Actually, I think soft tempura might taste good too."

"what?"

Shirokumo Aoba gazed at Hinata's soft, plump lips and pressed them against hers.

"Well--"

Hinata's cheeks were flushed. Although she was shy, her enthusiasm was no less than that of Yakumo.

For a moment, all that could be heard was a sticky, gooey sound, and the air itself felt somewhat sticky.

Fortunately, Yakumo had set up an illusion around them, so no one around noticed their situation.

Otherwise, people would have been pointing fingers at them long ago.

Seeing how engrossed the two were, Yakumo certainly couldn't just sit idly by.

Her small hand slipped past the white clouds and blue leaves and reached for the bento box on Hinata's lap.

After eating a few fried shrimp, she set her sights on a fried scallop.

Then it was grabbed by a small hand.

"?"

Yakumo looked up and met Hinata's somewhat angry gaze, so he had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw his hand.

"I'm just helping to taste it."

Hinata certainly didn't believe it. She glared at Yakumo. Stealing one or two is one thing, but how can you keep stealing them?

Then he picked up the tempura from the bento box and started feeding it to Shirakumo Aoba.

At the same time, Shirokumo Aoba picked up another pair of chopsticks and fed Hinata.

It's strange, even though we're using the same chopsticks, the food tastes better when picked up with the other person's chopsticks.

However, even in her spare time, Shirokumo Aoba didn't forget to feed Yakumo, who was watching eagerly from the side.

Hinata prepared a very large quantity.

However, Shirokumo Aoba also realized a problem.

"Hinata, you're eating so little... is that enough?"

With Hinata's appetite, tempura would hardly fill her up no matter how much she ate.

"I've also prepared others."

Hinata said with a smile that she is no longer embarrassed about her appetite.

Then I opened the top of the bento box, revealing several large rice balls inside.

That makes sense now.

"Would you like to try a rice ball, Aoba-kun?"

She then presented a rice ball to Baiyun Qingye.

To be honest, Shirakumo Aoba basically doesn't eat rice balls or sushi when she's out.

Because I always think about whether the chef's hands sweat when he's shaping the rice balls.

But Hinata is a beautiful girl, her little hands are white, tender, and fragrant, and sometimes he even wants to...

So there's no problem.

Shirokumo Aoba took a bite of the tip of the rice ball, and her eyes lit up.

"It's spicy!"

He also noticed the red oil seeping from the rice ball.

"Yes, this was specially prepared for Aoba-kun."

Hinata smiled happily.

She just wanted to see the look of delight on his face when he ate the rice ball.

Breakfast was quickly finished as we took turns eating.

As for the lunchbox, Baiyun Qingye casually took out a small sealing scroll and put it inside.

Where do you want to go today? Do you have any plans?

Bai Yunqingye asked, "Of course, I'll go with you wherever you want to go."

When Hinata heard about the upcoming itinerary, her face suddenly turned red for some reason.

Yakumo didn't react much and said directly, "Well... the plan for this morning is to go see a movie first, then find a place to eat lunch, and in the afternoon... we'll see how Hinata is then."

"Judging from Hinata's condition?"

Shirokumo Aoba was a little confused and looked at Hinata.

Hinata, are you feeling unwell?

Chapter 578 The Distracted Kurenai

"Huh? No...no, I'm perfectly healthy."

Hinata's voice was clearly panicked.

Shirokumo Aoba also realized that this date was probably not as simple as he had imagined.

Yakumo and Hinata might have come prepared.

"Hinata..."

"Alright, alright! Why say so much?"

Before Shirokumo Aoba could finish speaking, Yakumo interrupted him.

Then she pulled him to his feet and led him in one direction.
