life in the world

While Harutaki taught Sato Kaoru a lesson unceremoniously, he found the switch under the table to slightly adjust the firepower, and quickly covered the entire barbed wire fence with raw meat skillfully.

Although Harutaki didn't mention it at all, Kaoru Sato looked at the other party's actions and couldn't help but feel that he was an idiot who couldn't even roast a piece of meat before.

"Senior Sato, do you think this self-righteous behavior of labeling people at will is reasonable? Is it polite? At least you have heard what Sifang said? If you haven't heard it, you will preconceive it and think that I am a scumbag who pesters her. Is this true? Does it fit?"

Although he seems to be a "scumbag" who "entangles" everywhere, for Chun Taki, it is impossible to admit it.

He pursued the single girl he liked openly and squarely. What's wrong with this kind of behavior? !

As he said that, he turned the wagyu beef over, allowing the Maillard reaction to proceed perfectly, and changed the bottom to the top. After waiting for a while, he took out the roast meat in order of putting in, two servings per person, a total of eight slices, and then continued to use The new raw meat is covered with iron grids.

"Wait a while and try again."

"thanks……"

Diezi picked up the roasted meat with chopsticks, carefully examining the difference from the one he roasted before.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Kaoru Sato looked at the grilled meat on the plate, and he was a little shaken. He suddenly thought that the famous scumbag in the rumors might be very different from what he had heard and imagined.

Maybe... this student Xingchuan is really a good person?

"Let me say, this Sato-senpai, you just slandered Harutaki without any basis, should you apologize to him?"

Xuanxia reminded in a bad tone.

In her heart, Kaoru Sato has been completely blacklisted.

Originally, she still had some sympathy for this guy whose childhood sweetheart was taken away by her idiot brother, but the other party indiscriminately slandered Haru Taki in front of her, and she couldn't bear it——

A person with ordinary looks, ugly clothes, and going out to play with girls to eat ramen and barbecue, who has the right to criticize Harutaki! ?

What's more, she also heard from Senior Sister Diezi that if she didn't have her own idiot brother, she would probably go to karaoke alone to participate in social activities, and then she would be murdered by scum...... Because, this childhood sweetheart brother , has been leaving her alone and neglecting her, even if Diezi-senpai fled her family and came to Tokyo, this person would not take care of her with a look of peace of mind.

The bastard who doesn't care about Diezi-senpai's feelings at all, who is playing with the girl's emotions? !

Ordinary and self-righteous boys are really annoying.

If it wasn't for the fear of embarrassing Diezi-senpai, Xuanxia would have slapped the table to question her.

"Yes... I'm sorry, student Xingchuan... I shouldn't believe in rumors and slander you..."

Seeing Diezi looking at him with disappointment, Kaoru Sato gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. After a while, he was discouraged as if all his strength had been drained, and slowly turned sideways, bowing his head to Harutaki Hoshikawa Apologize.

Immediately afterwards, he bowed his head to Ayaka and apologized.

"And Xingchuan's girlfriend, I'm sorry, I shouldn't—"

"Brother, Xuanxia-chan is Xingchuan's younger sister."

Diezi interrupted his words and reminded him.

Sister...?

Kaoru Sato looked at the appearances of Harutaki and Ayaka, but found no similarities - except that both of them are top-notch in appearance, figure and temperament.

"I'm Ayaka Hoshikawa, Harutaki's younger sister. It's the first time I've met Sato-senpai. I've heard Dieko-senpai mention you, but I won't meet you and give advice later."

Xuan Xia unceremoniously shook her cold face.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."

I took my younger sister out to play during the holidays. She has good barbecue skills, is polite, and is not disgusted by Diezi——

To sum up, no matter how you look at it, it was him. Kaoru Sato misunderstood the other party preconceivedly, and ended up doing something very rude.

Actually speaking ill of my brother in front of his sister... Just thinking about others speaking ill of Diezi in front of him, the bitterness flooded in his heart in an instant.

"Okay. Now that Senior Sato has apologized and explained the matter clearly, let's enjoy the barbecue with all your heart. This is a self-service buffet. Wouldn't it be a loss if you eat too little?"

While flipping the barbecue, Haru Taki eased the atmosphere. After all, Kaoru Sato's matter also involved Sifang's face and mood, so he couldn't ignore it.

"good to eat……"

Afterwards, Diezi dipped the third piece of wagyu beef Chuntaki had given her in sauce, and after a few breaths, she stuffed it into her mouth like a gulp.

The aroma of the meat is overflowing and it melts in the mouth.

The excess fat melted under the high-temperature roasting, and the medium-rare meat heart was still glowing bright pink. Even if it was just viewed from the side, she felt that she could not help but develop an appetite and wanted to eat a few more slices.

Whether she is so good at Western or Chinese cuisine, why does she even look like an expert at barbecue... She looked at Harutaki Hoshikawa, who was chatting with her elder brother about literary classics, and complained secretly in her heart, this guy is really good. too much--

He was clearly "tangle" her.

He was originally a "scumbag" who was so gentle and considerate that people couldn't help themselves.

However, she, Sifang Diezi, willingly accepted all of this.

The villain who tempted her to "betray" and "degenerate"... Diezi couldn't help but wonder curiously, is it true that such an omnipotent Harutaki-san really has no flaws?

"Mr. Xiaolin's life is indeed full of ups and downs and sorrows, but the occasional playful, people can't help feeling his childlike innocence and longing for beauty."

"Yeah. However, compared to the childishness of the sentence 'the hometown where I was born, the grass there can be used to make cakes!', the sentence 'my hometown is full of thorny flowers'. Sadness and confusion also make me unforgettable..."

Kaoru Sato chatted more and more vigorously, and completely forgot his prejudice and discrimination against Harutaki before, and even felt that the exchange of just a few minutes was happier than shopping with Dieko all day——

Diezi and his hobbies are quite different, and the two lack common topics, and they hardly talk together except for things about their childhood.

Just like Mr. Kobayashi’s haiku he proposed at noon, Dieko thinks about the taste of grass cakes and whether they are delicious, but what he pays attention to and pays attention to is the nostalgia for his hometown and the past in the haiku...

"I didn't expect you, Junior Xingchuan, to know a lot about haiku. Are you interested in joining the literature club? Everyone in the club is very friendly, and seniors who have entered university often come to organize activities."

"Brother, don't pester Chun... Xingchuan, pull him into your broken club!"

Butterfly couldn't help but reminded Kaoru Sato to calm down.

"I'm sorry, Sato-senpai, a friend has already invited me to the sports club..." Haru Taki first declined Kaoru Sato's overly enthusiastic invitation, and after eating a piece, he looked at Dieko and continued, "...before I It seems that I saw you in Dongbao Cinema, Sifang, did you also watch "His Name" at three o'clock this afternoon?"

"Well... read it."

Have you seen it, don't you know? !

Sifang Butterfly smiled reluctantly to prevent elder brother Sato Kaoru from noticing something was wrong, and at the same time gave Harutaki a fierce look with her pale golden eyes as bright as the afterglow of the setting sun.

My elder brother was completely fooled by this "scumbag" and couldn't find him. He was even more enthusiastic towards Chun Taki than her childhood sweetheart sister...

Brother, don't you know what he did to us in the screening room? !

Although she knew that she accepted it logically and threw herself directly into the arms of the other party.

"Hey, this lady from the country, have you ever thought about becoming a handsome Tokyo guy like me?"

Rubbing his chin, Harutaki asked pretendingly.

When Kaoru Sato heard the term "from the countryside", he wanted to refute, but before speaking, he subconsciously observed the surrounding atmosphere, and found that neither Sister Xingchuan nor Dieko seemed to have any disgust, and even Because Junior Xingchuan's tone and appearance couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough... I'm just a bookworm who can only read books...

The momentary excitement and enthusiasm quickly faded, and he gradually recalled his abrupt invitation just now, and couldn't help but feel a burst of embarrassment.Looking at Diezi's beautiful smile now, and listening to Junior Xingchuan joking and chatting with ease, an inferiority complex arises spontaneously——

He felt like an outsider, and he didn't even have the courage to nod and say "me too"... because he was afraid that this happy atmosphere would be broken and he would become an even more alien existence.

This is the way Yinjiao lives, he thought bitterly, Yinjiao can only be a spectator who tries not to cause trouble to others, or an "invisible person".

"Huh? When I think of looking at your face in the mirror every morning, I will probably suffer from stomach problems because I can't eat breakfast every day, right? I want to be a 'handsome Tokyo guy like Hoshikawa'. Don't worry about it~"

Diezi took the rebuttal, and threw the joke back at Chun Taki with a smile.

"I think it's okay. When the time comes, Diezi-senpai will be allowed to live in Xingchuan's house. As for you brother, you can go to Toyoko Plaza and be a homeless man."

Xuanxia tilted her body, and lay her head in Diezi's arms, Harutaki couldn't help feeling envious when she saw it.

"Ahem, girls, you have misunderstood. I am a talent scout, and I am inviting you to join our firm. After signing the contract, you will go through training and training, and eventually become a shining (KiraKira~) 'Tokyo guy' just like you."

Speaking in a mature voice, Harutaki added two slices of roasted pork belly and handed them to Diezi and Ayaka respectively.

"This is your business card."

"Puchi...hahaha, Zhuwuhua business card, Xingchuan, are you the pig-headed boy everyone says?"

"Haha... What about KiraKira, my brother who said that is too disgusting."

After Diezi and Xuanxia ate the slightly crispy pork belly, they laughed happily together.

"Hug, sorry, excuse me..."

The atmosphere here has been so strong that he, Kaoru Sato can't stay at all.

It is like the only popsicle in the hot summer, wrapped in the scorching sun.

Even he has his own understanding and thoughts about the movie "His Name", but he can't express it.

Although it is a dark corner, he can also read the atmosphere.But now he is very clear that even Diezi would not like to listen to his report-like experience of watching movies.

He thought of the evaluations of several prestigious school seniors, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed——

"Satou, you are not good at expressing emotions at all, but your writing skills are very good, and your ideas can be expressed in a straightforward manner. Maybe it would be good to be a writer."

"...I'm going to the bathroom."

Based on his experience as a yin corner, if he continues to stay, no matter whether it is himself, Diezi, Junior Xingchuan and Sister Xingchuan, the four of them will feel embarrassed and embarrassing.

"Brother, go and come back quickly, the barbecue will not taste good when it's cold, we won't keep it for you~"

After watching Kaoru Sato leave, Dieko Sifang changed her face in an instant, and glared at Harutaki with her mouth pursed in dissatisfaction.

"Xingchuan, you are too much..."

"Don't want to eat my roast meat?"

Chun Taki, who was playing with the shrimp, raised his eyebrows, and looked up at the girl who was throwing a temper tantrum.

"No, no... Guwu... I want to eat..."

Tempted by the aroma of grilled shrimp squeezed with lemon juice, Dieko couldn't say no to it.

cunning!

insidious!

mean!

"Here."

She subconsciously ate the shrimp that Harutaki picked up with chopsticks.

Chew.

Badass!

Chew.

devil!

"anything else?"

"……want."

She nodded.

"Give it to Xuanxia first, Sifang, you wait."

The chopsticks that Harutaki stretched out turned towards Ayaka who was beside her halfway.

"Thank you bro~"

"Well!"

Scumbag!

Sister control!

"this is for you."

"Thank you, thank you..."

While chewing the sour Q-bomb shrimp, she kept beating the little puppet named "Xingchuan Haruntaki" in her heart.

Not frank at all, she thought to herself, she is really an idiot, and Chun Taki is even more idiot among idiots.

"Hmm... can you teach me how to roast delicious meat like Xingchuan?"

Seeing that Harutaki was busy baking things for her and Xuanxia, ​​and she couldn't care less about eating, Diezi took the initiative to ask for advice——

She just didn't want to make a fool of herself when eating barbecue with others in the future, she definitely didn't want Harutaki to take a break and let him taste her own roasted meat!

"How to bake..."
