life in the world

Kaoru Sato nodded, responding to Dieko's question.

Because I had eaten here twice with Xiao Yuan, Yamashita and other seniors and their girlfriends before, and thinking of how everyone returned home having a good time, he thought Die Zi would like it too.

At that time, Ohara-senpai's girlfriend said that eating barbecue is a very happy thing.

He thought to himself, if Diezi doesn't like it, she should object, right?

Just like when I was a child - Diezi would complain to him occasionally, complaining about the strange vegetables or wild vegetables that were forced on her by her family.

However, recalling Dieko's stiff smile and uneasy tone when she refused the popcorn in the screening hall, Kaoru Sato hesitated for a moment, then asked the girl's opinion again.

"Well... is there anything Diezi wants to eat? Just, as long as it's not too expensive."

Even if it is AA consumption, he can only afford about 5000 yen at most now.

"I have no problem. Didn't you say it before? It's all up to you, brother."

"Then... let's go in then? There are not many people, so it shouldn't take long to wait in line."

Seeing the expression on Diezi's face as usual, Kaoru Sato breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the door first and entered the roast meat shop.

"Roasted meat..."

Following Elder Brother across the threshold and stepping into the store, Diezi could not help but smile wryly in her heart as she smelled the strong barbecue smell.

Fortunately, I didn't wear the suit that Harutaki-san likes, otherwise, I would definitely be smelled of smoke or barbecue.

It's not that she has any prejudice against barbecue, it's better to say that she would be quite happy to eat it once in a while——

To her disappointment, elder brother didn't bother to think about her from the beginning to the end.

The ones recommended by the seniors and the ones that I have tasted are delicious, even if I ask her for her opinion, it seems more like a helpless solution.

Obviously the two had been together for so long when they were young, but Elder Brother didn't seem to know her preferences, and he didn't have any opinions of his own.

"call……"

However, Diezi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there would be no problems with eating roasted pork, right?

After all, this kind of cooking only needs the ingredients and marinating provided by the restaurant, and the rest of the steps can be decided according to your own preferences.

?

sizzle.

The fat wailed under the high-temperature roasting. If you look at the charcoal-like appearance of the beef, the curled up looks like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Looking at this piece of wagyu beef, Sifang Diezi and elder brother Sato Kaoru were both dumbfounded.

"Brother...you, don't you know how to barbecue?"

"Uh... I usually buy half-price bento at night..."

Sato Kaoru wanted to use a tong to get out that piece of charred wagyu beef, but...

zizi.

As the grease dripped onto the stove below, he was startled by the sudden burst of high orange flames, and the tongs flew out of his hands and landed on the grill grill with a clatter.

Seeing this scene, Diezi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Brother, you are too humble."

Haru Taki can cook dishes that are not inferior to high-end restaurants, but my brother can't even cook a simple barbecue, and he is even frightened by the fire.

"Obviously the two times I came to see the seniors bake it, it was quite simple... Die Zi, you still laugh at me, why don't you try it?"

After carefully picking out the clip with chopsticks, the elder brother put the clip in front of Diezi angrily, asking the girl who laughed at him to try to face the difficulty of burning meat.

"Just try it, it's not difficult! Brother, look at it~"

Isn't it barbecue?

Although she, Sifang Diezi, has been cooking Japanese food since elementary school, isn't she familiar with things like barbecue without cumbersome steps and skills?

sizzle.

Just doing what she said, Diezi directly clamped a piece of wagyu beef to the center of the iron net, stared closely at the bright red meat slice that was roasted by the flames, and watched the meat slice quickly become burnt brown.

"That's it-"

About 1 minute later, just when she was about to proudly show off her skills to Elder Brother, there was a pop, and the fat from the Wagyu beef dripped down again, instantly causing the flames to rise, just like Elder Brother Sato Kaoru before Same situation encountered.

"——Not bad..."

Diezi, who is familiar with cooking, is not afraid of fire. She directly rescued the beef slices in the fire with a tongs, but only got half of the beef slices——

There is half of the meat in the clip, and the other half is firmly stuck to the barbecue grill.

"One, half can be eaten, right?"

While Elder Brother was watching silently, she dipped half a piece of wagyu beef in the sauce with her chopsticks, blew it until the temperature was about the same, and put it into her mouth to chew.

Chew and chew.

Chew and chew.

Analyzing Diezi’s experience in tasting many high-end dishes, when the wagyu beef entered her mouth, she knew she had failed.

The heat was obviously too high, which caused the meat to age a bit.Even wagyu, the taste will become worse than ordinary beef in this case.

"Beef is too easy to overcook, try pork instead."

Taking a chance, Diezi put a piece of pork belly in the center of the iron net, and waited for the surface of the pork belly to burn according to her usual cooking experience.

Because pork is different from beef, it must be roasted before eating, so she waited for 3 minutes and turned it over five or six times in the middle. Seeing that the surface of the pork belly finally showed burnt black marks, she immediately picked it up from the wire mesh and handed it to her elder brother Sato Smoked on a plate.

"Brother, how about you try it?"

"Guru..."

Swallowing, Sato Kaoru blew the pork belly cold under Dieko's gaze, dipped it in some sauce and put it directly into his mouth.

This taste...

"puff."

He chewed it twice before spitting out the sliced ​​meat, causing Diezi to glare at him, so he could only explain with an embarrassed smile.

"The surface is mushy, but the inside is still a bit raw..."

"Then we can't bake well, brother, what do you think?"

Diezi leaned back on the chair with her mouth pursed, and felt powerless looking at the bright red meat on the table.

It's not a problem for her to fry fish or even cook a few sets of kaiseki dishes, but things like barbecue... The roast meat she used to eat was cooked meat served directly by the general after cooking, and she couldn't do it herself.

Want a shop assistant for help?

Die Zi felt that she was not thick-skinned to such an extent after having a meal with a stranger beside her, and it was very embarrassing to cause trouble to the clerk. She couldn't ask for help with the barbecue at all. .

As for asking the clerk for tips and baking methods...

She doesn't think that with elder brother's clumsiness, just listening to the clerk's explanation can roast delicious meat in front of the stopwatch——

In the end, maybe in the end, she, Sifang Diezi, would be the one to grill the meat for the two of them.

Just thinking about the troubles in the future, she stopped thinking about asking the clerk for advice.

So, how will the two of you eat this meal?

She thought to herself, it would be impossible for Chunlong to help her again, right?

Elder brother is sitting opposite!

"Excuse me, is it Sifang's classmate? What a coincidence~"

Just when Diezi was in trouble, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"Eh?"

Diezi turned around with a stiff smile and found Xingchuan Harutaki standing beside him helplessly.

"Please, who are you...?"

Kaoru Sato looked at the handsome guy in front of him who was full of flavor, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Is Diezi's friend?

Why hasn't he heard Diezi say that he has good friends of the opposite sex?

"You are Sato-senpai, right? I am Sifang's classmate. It is the first time we meet. Please give me your advice in the future."

"Me, me too, please give me your advice."

Facing the right hand that Harutaki offered, Kaoru Sato was stunned for a while before he realized it, and quickly stretched out his right hand to shake it, thinking that this face always looked very familiar.

Since Diezi and Diezi are classmates, has he met each other in school?

"Come to Shinjuku. I was hungry and wanted to eat barbecue. I passed by and saw a restaurant here. But the waiter said that I would have to wait in line for more than half an hour... But what a coincidence, I found that there is just right in Sifang There are two empty seats, I wonder if we can share a table?"

Harutaki, who had just witnessed the whole process of the two people's barbecue through the window outside, continued to add a sentence.

"My barbecue skills are not bad. If Sato-senpai and Sifang don't mind, let me help you roast together."

"This, this..."

Kaoru Sato looked at Dieko in a state of bewilderment, while Dieko stared at Harutaki anxiously.However, when Diezi followed Chuntaki's line of sight and looked back and saw the charred piece of wagyu beef on the table, she was immediately discouraged.

"...It doesn't matter to us."

"Then I will trouble you, this... junior?"

"Xingchuan, Xingchuan Chuntaki."

"Xingchuan... huh? Xingchuan!?"

Kaoru Sato, who just watched Harutaki pull out the chair and sit down, trembled all over, and at the same time, the legs of the chair moved to the side creaked. Fortunately, the diners around were chatting lively and eating barbecue, and no one noticed this. edge situation.

"You are that scumbag Xingchuan?! You already have girlfriends, why are you here to harass Diezi?"

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned his head to look at Diezi who was sitting opposite, and asked questions in a panic, while trying his best to keep his voice down to avoid causing more impact.

"And I didn't tell you Diezi, stay away from this kind of person... Is he pestering you? Did he make excessive harassment? Do you want me to—"

"Enough, bro! You—"

Dieko bit her lower lip tightly, trying to defend Harutaki, but Harutaki, who was sitting next to Sato Kaoru, interrupted Diezi's reproach.

"Wait a minute, Senior Sato, it's too much to speak ill of people behind their backs. Don't you think it's rude to slander my personality and reputation in front of me?"

"Disrespectful? What kind of etiquette do you have for a bastard and scumbag like you who plays with girls at will by relying on his status as a masculinity?"

Thinking that Diezi had been in the same class with such a scumbag for a month, Kaoru Sato felt a burst of acid in his heart.

Judging from the exchange between the two just now, the relationship between this famous scumbag and Diezi is definitely not as simple as being classmates.

"Oh? This is the first time Sato-senpai and I have met, right? Why do you think I'm a scumbag?"

"There are posts in the anonymous forums on campus, and everyone said the same thing."

Thinking of what he heard from other members of the club, Kaoru Sato felt much less pressure on the current role, and was even able to confront Harutaki uncharacteristically and confidently.

"Everyone, who are you? Can you tell me who it is? The posts in the forum are basically slander, right? What happened last month was like that. Could it be that as a member who believes in rumors, the senior didn't reflect on it? ?”

"Who...who will remember who said it? Being rumored to be a famous scumbag shows that you have such behaviors. It is Xingchuan junior who should reflect."

"Huh? Then Sato-senpai, who looks like a cunt, will also run into the toilet to eat, and he may have some eccentricities, such as secretly taking pictures of girls' skirts..."

"Even if I'm a bad guy, I wouldn't do that kind of thing! I just concentrate on my studies... Brother Xingchuan, there is evidence for the things you did in the forum."

"Evidence? Do you mean that Nogami asked me to buy drinks for her? I asked my good friend Saying, who also likes sports, to help her apply for the swimming pool qualification? Or are you referring to the slanderous rumors released by the rumormongers?"

Kaoru Sato faltered and couldn't speak after a series of rhetorical questions from Harutaki. Looking at this scene, Diezi felt a little joy for no reason——

Obviously she has to stand up and fight at a time like this...

Obviously no matter who is reprimanded, she should feel uncomfortable...

But why?

Why was she so excited when she saw her elder brother being bullied by Haru Taki to the point where she didn't dare to make a sound?Actually expecting Harutaki-san to continue to teach this idiot brother a lesson?

However, she thought to herself, it was Elder Brother's fault in the first place, he was the one who slandered Chun Taki indiscriminately, and it was his own fault for being taught a lesson.

"When you see a girl and an uncle walking together, you conclude that the other party is doing daddy's work? Seeing a person with a good-looking personality, tell him to play the role of a male, and treat him as a low-level delinquent who will bully the weak, As a scumbag or a scumbag who plays with girls' emotions and bodies at will?"

Buzz.
