I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

"I'm not asking about that. I'm asking about the materials and production methods." Of course, Hoshino Ai could see the sign that said it.

"You've seen this, it's the teppanyaki series."

Saitohiko recalled, "Okonomiyaki is divided into Kansai-style Okonomiyaki and Hiroshima-style Hiroshimayaki, but I guess the one over there is Okonomiyaki."

"As for the ingredients, they are usually pork, shrimp, shredded cabbage, eggs, shredded red ginger..." He simply listed the steps together, "First, pour the oil on the iron plate, then stir the ingredients, spread them on the iron plate and grill them. When they are cooked, turn them over and pour the prepared sauce, soybean paste, mayonnaise, sprinkle with seaweed powder, and put bonito flakes on them. That's it."

Saito Yan thought for a moment and added: "The cooking method varies from person to person, and the order of putting the ingredients in may be different, but the ingredients are basically the same, but you can add eggs and the like."

"You shouldn't be allergic to these, right?" Saito Hiko asked Hoshino Ai just to be on the safe side.

She asked so many detailed questions, probably because she was a little interested in Okonomiyaki, or maybe she just wanted to try it, but there might be other reasons why she didn't go.

"I haven't had any allergies yet." Hoshino Ai shook her head and replied, but she was puzzled by Saito Hiko's sudden question to her: "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, let's go." Saito Hiko pulled Hoshino Ai towards the Okonomiyaki restaurant.

"Eh?" Hoshino Ai was dragged along for a while and found that Saito Hiko was taking her to the restaurant she asked about. "I'm just curious, I don't want to eat."

This is a lie.

Chapter 143 Spring Festival (I)

"But I want to eat." Saito Hiko said to Hoshino Ai and pulled her to the Okonomiyaki stall.

The customer just now has left, and there is no one in front of the stall.

Hoshino Ai felt a little embarrassed when she heard Saito Hiko's answer, and she looked away to other stalls.

"Boss, give me an Okonomiyaki." Saito Hiko started to take the order.

When he got closer, he saw a sign on the stall with a price list. The price of Okonomiyaki was 300 yen.

"Okay, please wait." The stall owner responded and poured the prepared batter onto the iron plate.

"Would you like to have one?" Saito Hiko asked Hoshino Ai who was standing next to him.

Hearing this, Hoshino Ai turned her head back to the stall in front of her. She glanced at the price on it and paused for a moment before refusing, "I don't really want to eat this."

"If there's anything you want to eat, just tell me and we'll go buy it together. Don't let me buy it alone." Saito Hiko said to Hoshino Ai.

After he finished speaking, he found a 1,000 yen piece of paper and pen in his wallet, took it out, and handed it to the stall owner to pay. "Since we agreed to go shopping together, don't be too reserved."

When the stall owner saw the banknotes handed over by Saito Hiko, he immediately took out coins from his bag and handed them to Saito Hiko.

Saitohiko reached out and took it.

"Hmm... let me see..." Hoshino Ai responded, and then looked towards the groove-shaped utensil stall next door, on which there were small semicircular balls being baked.

It's takoyaki.

Even if the price goes up, it shouldn’t be too outrageous, right?

"I'll go next door and take a look." Hoshino Ai asked Saito Hiko to let go.

"Since it's next door, let's go over there." Saito Hiko heard Hoshino Ai just said next door and didn't let go, "Boss, I'll come back to get it later."

"Okay, but please come back within ten minutes to get it, and then taste it as soon as possible, otherwise the taste will deteriorate if it's left for too long." The stall owner agreed and reminded, continuing to fry the Okonomiyaki.

"I understand." Saito Hiko felt that the Okonomiyaki stall owner was right.

So we decided to move faster, otherwise if we just waited at each stall, the snacks we bought earlier would be cold by the time we got to the back. “In that case, let’s hurry up.”

He urged Hoshino Ai.

"Yeah." Hoshino Ai and Saito Hiko walked to the next stall, and she saw the price list above that said: Takoyaki 200 yen per serving.

It's OK, not too expensive.

She thought to herself and ordered a serving of takoyaki.

Saito Hiko also ordered one. After he ordered, he looked at the stalls around him and planned his route.

He first gave the takoyaki money to the stall owner, and then he took Hoshino Ai to the next snack stand.

"Hiko-kun?" Hoshino Ai was puzzled when she saw Saito Hiko like this: "Didn't we agree to go to the festival? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes, I want to visit the festival, but the okonomiyaki boss just reminded me that the freshly baked snacks have a short shelf life, so in order not to waste time and eat the food in its best state, this is the best choice for me now."

Saito Hiko replied.

"That makes sense..." Hoshino Ai felt that Saito Hiko was right after hearing his explanation, but she felt that this was not the way to stroll through a festival, right?

If you just want to buy snacks, there is no need to buy them at the festival, after all, the prices are a bit expensive.

"But isn't it the normal way to participate in a festival while eating and shopping?" She thought for a while and finally said what was on her mind.

"If this were a normal festival, it would be correct to do so."

Saitohiko first agreed with Hoshino Ai's statement, and then said: "But the Spring Festival is different from ordinary festivals, because the main venue of the Spring Festival is not here."

"I see, no wonder I haven't seen the stage yet." Hoshino Ai hadn't seen any stage-related props since she came here, and she thought the venue was only set up in the afternoon. "What's the difference?"

"Did you see the cherry tree next to us when we came here just now?" Saito Hiko asked Hoshino Ai.

"Just say it directly. Don't ask me halfway through your sentence. If you continue to speak halfway like this, I will..."

Hoshino Ai clenched her fist and shook it at Saito Hiko, then she looked at the blooming cherry tree next to her.

"Today is April 1st, which is also the cherry blossom season. The Spring Festival was chosen today because of the cherry blossom season."

Saitohiko answered, "As for what the venue looks like, I think it would be better for you to see it with your own eyes."

Hoshino Ai felt a little angry when she saw that Saito Hiko had not finished his words, and she just told him to stop talking halfway.

As a result, he is now keeping the secret and acting as a riddle teller.

hateful!

Hoshino Ai felt a little angry. She waved her clenched fist and gently hit Saito Yan's chest: "Don't speak half of the words! And don't be a riddler."

Saito Hiko was caught off guard and hit in the chest by Hoshino Ai's small fist.

Although it didn't hurt and there was no force, he still pretended to be in pain. He covered the place where he was hit with his hands and acted like he was seriously injured and said, "If you have something to say, just talk it over nicely. Don't use your hands and feet. You hit me so hard, that's too much!"

When Hoshino Ai saw Saito Hiko like this, she looked at the small fist that had just hit Saito Hiko in confusion.

I was holding back just now. Did I really hit her so hard?

Thinking this, she raised her fist and tried to hit her chest with the same force she had just used to hit Saito Hiko.

Doesn’t it hurt?

After finishing the test, Hoshino Ai looked up at Saito Hiko, only to find that he had a puzzled expression on his face.

It was as if he was asking her why she hit herself.

She thought about her previous actions and thoughts and felt that she had been tricked by Saito Hiko.

"Damn it!" Realizing that she was being teased, Hoshino Ai increased the strength in her hands and punched Saito Hiko again.

Saito Hiko didn't dare to resist the punch because he heard Hoshino Ai scolding him angrily.

When you punch in anger, the force must be quite strong.

Therefore, he was afraid that his small body would not be able to bear it and would be beaten to the point of vomiting blood.

So he dodged her attack.

"Don't move!" Seeing that her attack was dodged, Hoshino Ai felt that he did it on purpose, so she threw another punch.

How is it possible that he won't move when I tell him not to?

Saito Hiko had no intention of withstanding Hoshino Ai's attack from the beginning, so he dodged her attack again.

After dodging her attack, he grabbed Hoshino Ai's clenched wrist and pulled it back towards him.

He immediately pulled Hoshino Ai into his arms.

Saitohiko took the opportunity to open his arms and hug her, "Calm down, calm down."

"If you let me beat you up, I'll calm down." Hoshino Ai tried to break free, but she was being held and couldn't exert any strength.

"If you don't hit me, I'll pay for your expenses today." Saito Hiko proposed the exchange terms.

"Well... let me go first." Hoshino Ai was tempted by the conditions proposed by Saito Hiko, but she felt something was wrong in her heart, but she didn't know what was wrong.

Chapter 144 Spring Festival (Part )

"You have to promise first. My small body can't withstand your iron fist."

Saito Hiko ignored Hoshino Ai's words asking him to let go.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, let me go." Before Hoshino Ai could think much, she felt that since Saito Hiko pulled her into his arms, many eyes were looking at them.

Hoshino Ai felt as if the eyes of passers-by were all on them. She felt ashamed of being watched by everyone in this posture.

She begged Saitohiko in a low voice: "Let me go quickly... Let me go quickly..."

When Saito Hiko heard that Hoshino Ai agreed to what he said and kept begging him to let go, he let go.

But after he let go, he felt something was wrong.

Even if you can't break free, you don't have to beg me so many times, right?

Feeling shy? Give it a try.

"Hey, Ai, why does your face look like a ripe red apple?" Saito Hiko stared at Hoshino Ai seriously and lied with his eyes open.

At this time, Hoshino Ai's face did not show obvious redness. Hoshino Ai thought that what Saito Yan said about her blushing was true.

At the same time, she felt ashamed of being watched, and thought that maybe her face turned red because of shame, so she said, "Is it because the atmosphere of the festival is too hot? The air is not circulating, I feel very hot, and my face is hot and red."

I'm really shy.

If I tell you this now, you'll probably get angry and embarrassed, right?

Saito Hiko listened to what Hoshino Ai was thinking while hiding her true feelings, but he suggested, "Since it's so hot here, let's finish shopping quickly and then find a good place to cool off."

"Yeah." Hoshino Ai wanted to touch the temperature of her cheek, but she felt that if she touched it, she would have a feeling of defeat, as if she was admitting in disguise that her blushing was not caused by the environment.

Afterwards, Saito Hiko took Hoshino Ai to visit several snack stalls and bought some classic snacks: takoyaki, tamagoyaki, apple candy, fried noodles... and other snacks.

After buying things, Saito Hiko took Hoshino Ai to the place he had inspected before.
