In other words, Saika's gender is wrong. If the gender were changed, wouldn't Hachiman turn into a cichlid?

Chapter 113 Are you talking about red pandas? (Two chapters combined)

In mid-July, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas typical of summer, the students of Soubu High School finished their last exam of the semester.

The next step is to go home and wait a few days before returning to school to pick up your report card.

Although it's called a final exam, it's actually just a regular exam.

The Japanese education system is very different from that of China. For example, China usually has only two semesters, but Japan has three semesters. As a result, Japan also has an extra spring break compared to China.

In Japan, midterm exams are held in the second semester, while final exams are held in the last semester.

A real final exam.

Of course, this does not mean that the results of this exam are unimportant, because the results of regular exams are also recorded in the file, so regular exams still need to be taken seriously.

At the school gate, Yuihama took three steps at a time and jogged all the way to Yukinoshita.

"Yukino, wait..."

Yukinoshita stopped, turned to look at Yuihama, tilted her head slightly, as if wondering why Yuihama had called her.

"What are your plans for the next few days?" Yui asked.

After hearing Yuihama's words, Yukinoshita did not answer directly. Instead, she thought for a moment before saying, "I have something to do on the 21st, but I don't think I have anything else to do."

The 21st was the day she had arranged to see the giant panda 'Xiang Xiang' with Lin Qianshu. She had been preparing for this for a long time and had made several travel guides, so even though Yui Hama made the appointment, she would not change her mind no matter what.

"Hmm... In that case, let me see..." Yuihama pursed her lips, as if she were arranging and combining dates.

"It's decided on this time! Yukino, if it's convenient, could you free up the afternoon of the 25th?"

"That's possible, but what exactly is it..." Yukinoshita asked, puzzled.

Yui scratched her head with a silly smile and said, "Thanks to Yukino and everyone else's help, I didn't mess up the exam this time, so I'd like to treat everyone to karaoke as a way of thanking them."

"Karaoke, huh...?"

To be honest, Yukino Yukinoshita has hardly ever sung karaoke. The reason I say she's hardly ever sung karaoke, rather than never having sung karaoke at all, is because Haruno Yukinoshita once dragged her to sing karaoke, and frankly, that memory wasn't very pleasant, to the point that Yukino isn't really into karaoke now.

However, since Yuihama invited me, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go, even though Yukinoshita felt that there was no need to repay her.

"So who else is there?" Yukinoshita asked. Since it's everyone, all the people who participate in the study group should be there, right?

"So far, Aki, Aya, and Chiki are confirmed to go. I'm not sure if Saki will be free that day, but she should be there if she is. Oh, and I also asked Aki to bring Komachi. It feels like I haven't seen her in ages." Yuihama counted the number of people who would be there on her fingers.

Upon hearing that they were all acquaintances, Yukinoshita had no other concerns. It wasn't that she was shy, but rather that she was worried about ruining the gathering that Yuihama had worked so hard to organize because of her.

To give a simple example, if Miura Yumiko were at the party, Yukinoshita would think that Miura would definitely pick a fight with her, and then she would retaliate, Miura would cry, and the party would fall apart.

This kind of development is something you could predict even with your eyes closed.

Fortunately, Yuihama was clearly aware that Yukino Yukinoshita and Yumiko Miura did not get along, so she did not think of putting the two of them together.

Yes, the saying "If you like someone, say it out loud; if you like two people, keep it to yourself" is becoming increasingly valuable.

After agreeing on a time, the two said their goodbyes.

Not long after they parted, Yuihama was surprised to find that Yukino Yukinoshita's schedule was similar to that of Chiki Hayashi; both had something to do on the 21st, but were free the rest of the time.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence?

……

July 21st, sunny.

Suitable for: weddings, travel, offering sacrifices, and visiting relatives and friends.

Taboo: Digging wells, felling trees, taking in livestock, and preparing coffins.

Because she was going to the municipal zoo with Yukinoshita today, Lin Qianshu unusually didn't sleep in on her holiday and got up very early.

After he had washed up, changed his clothes, and completed all the preparations for his trip, Yukinoshita sent him a message at the opportune moment.

Yukino Yukinoshita: Are you awake? (Read)

Just as Lin Qianshu was about to type a reply saying "Awake", she heard a knock on the door.

OK, no need to reply to messages anymore, because the person is already at the door.

Lin Qianshu casually put his phone in his pocket, opened the door, and sure enough, Yukino Yukinoshita was already standing at the door.

"Good morning." The girl greeted him politely, then looked past Lin Qianshu and towards the person behind him.

"There's no one at home."

"I know this."

"So what are you looking at?"

"You probably haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"I'm about to go downstairs to buy it."

As Lin Qianshu spoke, he noticed the food box that Yukinoshita was carrying, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Could this be...?

"No need to buy any, I made one for you." Yukinoshita picked up the food box in her hand, which, just as Lin Qianshu had guessed, contained the breakfast that Yukinoshita had made for him.

Just now, her gaze passed over Lin Qianshu, actually to check if breakfast was laid out on the dining table in the living room, in order to determine whether Lin Qianshu had eaten breakfast.

But breakfast is already prepared at this hour, so what time did she get up?

Isn't it said that girls need at least an hour to put on makeup before going out? If that's the case, does that mean they get up before dawn?

Considering that Yukino Yukinoshita cannot be compared with ordinary women, at least one thing is certain: Yukinoshita was definitely much older than Chiki Hayashi.

Because makeup was clearly visible under the snow today, it made her, who was already cute, even cuter to the point of being dazzling.

Her long, flowing hair was tied into a high ponytail. She wore a brown cropped knit top with high-waisted jeans, a classic 'short + tall' outfit that allowed for easy movement while also highlighting her already tall figure.

In addition, she was carrying a crossbody bag containing tissues, her phone, wallet, tram pass, and a small digital camera.

It's fair to say that Yukinoshita was armed to the teeth today, even more so than when she played tennis with Hayashi Chiki.

Upon entering, Yukinoshita placed the food box on the dining table, letting Lin Qianshu eat first, while she herself sat back down in the living room.

"Have you had breakfast?" Lin Qianshu asked.

"I've already eaten," Yukinoshita replied.

Because they had considered the possibility that Lin Qianshu might have already eaten breakfast before she arrived, Yukinoshita ate breakfast before coming to save time.

In this way, if Lin Qianshu has already eaten breakfast, they can set off immediately.

If you haven't eaten yet, then wait until Lin Qianshu finishes eating before setting off.

“Take your time eating, there’s plenty of time,” Yukinoshita added.

Although she really wanted to leave now, that didn't mean Yukinoshita would urge Hayashi Chiki to shorten her mealtime.

In her opinion, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and what makes a good breakfast, besides the taste, is the dining experience.

Imagine if someone kept urging you while you were eating, would you be able to enjoy your meal?

Therefore, Yukinoshita did not urge Hayashi Chiki. On the contrary, she would take the initiative to sit in the living room and look down at the paperback, proving with her actions that she was not in a hurry.

Saint Yukino.

Upon opening the food box, amidst rising white steam, you'll find tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), sliced ​​ham, seaweed rice balls, and a bowl of miso soup.

This is a classic combination for Japanese breakfast.

Although it looks simple, it tastes quite good.

Lin Qianshu wasn't used to making rice early in the morning. If possible, he preferred a combination of soy milk and meat buns, or, for a more Western style, milk and bread.

Lin Qianshu devoured her breakfast in a whirlwind, feeling exactly seven-tenths full.

Did you even consider the amount of food? Yukinoshita, you're quite the virtuous wife and loving mother.

If she could live like this forever, Lin Qianshu would be willing to take Yukinoshita to see the giant pandas every day.

Perhaps you could consider getting a cat, and then deliberately not feeding the kitten every morning, letting Yukinoshita feed it instead. That way, Yukinoshita can also feed it at the same time.

Win-win!

"lets go."

After about half an hour on the road, Lin Qianshu and Yukino Yukinoshita arrived at Chiba City Zoo.

Because it's summer vacation and there are giant pandas, even on weekdays, there are still many people queuing to get their tickets checked at the zoo entrance.

Fortunately, Yang Nai gave Lin Qianshu a VIP ticket, which included a fast track and a free panda-themed souvenir.

It's fair to say that VIP tickets have no downsides other than being expensive.

Upon arriving at the park, Yukino Yukinoshita skillfully led Chiki Hayashi onto the park's shuttle bus. According to Yukinoshita's itinerary, their first stop was not the giant panda pavilion, but the red panda pavilion next door.

The reason is simple: for the physical and mental health of the giant pandas, the panda pavilion will only open to the public at nine o'clock. Moreover, the park has also imposed strict requirements on the opening time and the number of visitors allowed at one time, and even VIP customers are not exempt.

So, in order to avoid missing the opportunity to meet the giant panda 'Xiang Xiang', Yukinoshita chose the red panda enclosure, which is closest to the giant panda enclosure, as her first stop for the day.

Meanwhile, a red panda-themed café has also been opened inside the red panda enclosure. For the price of just one cup of coffee, you can get a coffee and a prime viewing spot for a red panda, allowing you to enjoy your coffee while admiring the red panda's stunning beauty. It's quite a shrewd business idea.

Isn't Yukino Yukinoshita completely under their control?

Seeing Yukino so intently teasing the little panda with her slender white fingers, separated only by a pane of glass, Lin Qianshu subconsciously put down her coffee, took out her phone, and started taking pictures.

As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," how could Yukinoshita, having learned her lesson once, possibly repeat the same mistake?

When the girl caught a glimpse of Lin Qianshu's movements out of the corner of her eye, she immediately turned around, her gray-blue eyes fixed on Lin Qianshu's phone. As if she had expected this, she lowered her head, opened her crossbody bag, and took out the small digital camera inside.

"Use this to take pictures if you want." Yukinoshita handed the camera to Hayashi Chiki.

"Is that alright?" Lin Qianshu was quite surprised, not expecting that Yukinoshita would actually give him the camera.

“Besides me, we also need to photograph the small animals,” Yukino said, pointing to the red panda inside the glass.

As the saying goes, it's better to guide than to block. Since Lin Qianshu wants to take pictures, let him. The only requirement is that he can't just take pictures of her; the small animals must also be in the frame.

It's as if they're using Lin Qianshu as their personal photographer.

Having a personal photographer is great; I really need to learn photography.

Yukinoshita clearly understood that Lin Qianshu wasn't actually interested in the zoo, and that the reason she used the conditions for winning the competition to do so was actually to accommodate her.

In return, or perhaps to give Lin Qianshu something to do so she wouldn't be so bored, Yukinoshita handed over the photography rights to the other party.

Watching red pandas under the snow, Lin Qianshu took photos under the snow, and everyone has a bright future.

“Speaking of which, I saw a sign at the entrance that says they offer close-up encounters with red pandas, right? Since you like red pandas so much, why don’t you give it a try?” Lin Qianshu asked.

Upon hearing this, Yukino shook her head and said, "Let's not. Red pandas are timid by nature and very easily stressed. Getting close to them would be bad for both of us. Just looking at them through the glass is fine."

"Is that so?" Lin Qianshu was somewhat surprised. If that's the case, then why would the park still allow visitors to get close to the red pandas?

"It's probably to attract tourists," Yukinoshita replied after thinking for a moment, which was quite pragmatic.

As a commercial zoo, its core function dictates that the zoo will sacrifice some of the animals' rights in order to attract more visitors.

Cute animals like red pandas, which are adorable and not very aggressive, are best sold by the ability to get up close and personal with them.

“The reason for the meticulous care day after day is simply to attract more visitors to the zoo. As for the red pandas’ true feelings… who cares?” Yukinoshita’s voice was somewhat low, and her expression was gloomy, as if she had recalled some unpleasant things.

No, sister?

Are you talking about red pandas?

Why does it feel like... you're talking about yourself?

At this moment, Lin Qianshu wished he could slap himself twice. Serves you right for being so talkative! Now look what happened, you've made me feel all emotional!

"Well, it's about time. Shouldn't we head out to see the giant pandas?"

Lin Qianshu coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.

Upon hearing about giant pandas, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately perked up, temporarily forgetting her empathy for red pandas.
