Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

In fact, Lin Qianshu could do this, but dealing with elementary school students is too energy-consuming, so it would be best to outsource it.

After issuing the mission, Hachiman and Totsuka Saika returned with iced drinks.

The cool soda dispelled the heat from the fire, and there was no longer any need to fan it to make the fire burn.

Not long after the flames were lit, the girls returned to the camp, carrying the evening's food.

Although they were volunteers, it didn't stop them from experiencing the joy of camping with the elementary school students.

The ingredients are not plentiful, only four in total: pork belly, carrots, onions, and potatoes, all of which are common ingredients in the home.

Lin Qianshu prefers to add chicken to curry, and he prefers to pan-fry pork belly.

"Should we cook everyone's food all at once, or should we take turns using the stoves and cook our own meals?" Lin Qianshu asked.

“It’s a rare opportunity to come out, so of course it’s more meaningful to eat curry that I made myself,” Hubu quickly replied.

“Indeed.” Miura Yumiko nodded, also wanting to take this opportunity to show Hayashi Chiki her feminine strength.

"It looks like it'll be really interesting!" Yuihama's eyes sparkled, and she looked very excited.

Upon hearing Yuihama's words, Lin Chiki, Hikigaya, and Yukinoshita exchanged glances, all seemingly unable to suppress a smile.

Yui noticed the others' gazes and immediately pouted, saying, "It's just curry! I'll still make it!"

Why does this sound so familiar?

"It's just peeling a pear~ I can still manage~" Hachiman said in a high-pitched voice, trying to recall for everyone.

"An autistic man!"

Look how anxious the kid is, he's already calling Hachiman by his nickname.

Kawasaki Saki looked at the noisy crowd and couldn't help but smile slightly. Camping was indeed more interesting than she had imagined.

"Saki, do you often cook at home?" Lin Qianshu asked.

Kawasaki Saki's upturned lips immediately disappeared, replaced by her usual lazy expression, as she replied, "You mean how to make curry? I know five ways."

"How many ways can you write the character '茴'?"

"what?"

It seems that Saki Kawasaki did not know Kong Yiji.

Finally, by a show of hands, everyone decided to take turns using the stove to make curry.

Please note that Yuihama must operate under the supervision of her guardian, Yukino Yukinoshita, to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

Home-style dishes are simply dishes that will have different flavors depending on who cooks them, and the same is true for home-style curry.

Even with the same ingredients, the curry made by different people will taste very different.

Take Yukinoshita for example; her curry is quite delicious, so Lin Qianshu didn't hesitate to pick up her rice bowl and ask her for a spoonful.

Then came Kawasaki Saki. Out of respect for her superb childcare skills, Lin Qianshu shamelessly asked her for a spoonful as well.

Finally, it was Miura Yumiko's turn. After seeing Kawasaki Saki and Yukino Yukinoshita give Hayashi Chiki a spoonful of her homemade curry, she used the excuse of helping to taste it to scoop a spoonful of curry for everyone present, including Hachiman.

Thus, Lin Qianshu achieved the feat of having dinner sorted out before even starting to make curry.

It's almost time for dinner, family.jpg

Chapter 122 He Has Me in His Heart

Lin Qianshu did not cook, because he had already taken care of dinner through his connections.

Yui didn't cook because she had just too many ideas.

Hachiman didn't cook either, because he was living off his sister.

In short, although everyone takes turns cooking, the curry is actually made by the few who are the best cooks among them. Those who can't cook are too embarrassed to show off in front of everyone.

When they were in elementary school, none of them knew how to cook. The older brother didn't laugh at the younger brother, but now they were high school students. If others found out that they couldn't even make the simplest curry, how embarrassing would that be?

Lin Qianshu felt that this kind of mentality only existed in high school; once you got to college, it would probably be, "I can't do it, so what?"

Youth is the process of gradually accepting one's ordinariness.

To put it simply, it means... numbness.

Everyone sat around the long table in the camp. Except for Hiratsuka Shizuka, who sat in the main seat at one end of the table without hesitation, the others sat wherever they pleased.

After spending a day together, the initial stark distinction between us faded considerably.

Ebina sat down next to Saki Kawasaki and started chatting with her casually.

After all, the two were roommates for the three-day, two-night camping trip, and living under the same roof, so their relationship naturally couldn't be too strained.

Although some of Ebina's hobbies are intimidating, she is actually a surprisingly nice person in real life. In short, Kawasaki Saki doesn't dislike this bespectacled fujoshi.

Yumiko sat down with Yuihama. Interestingly, half of the curry on Yuihama's rice was from Yukinoshita, and the other half was from Yumiko, with almost equal portions. It's unclear what she was implying.

Yukinoshita sat on the other side of Yuihama, enjoying her dinner with elegance and composure, making even curry seem like a high-class meal.

When Miura Yumiko noticed this, she couldn't help but purse her lips, thinking that Yukinoshita was a bit pretentious. Then, she slowed down her eating speed and began to pay attention to her manners.

We absolutely cannot be outdone by Yukinoshita.

The competition between females is constant!

Yukinoshita was unaware of Miura Yumiko's thoughts, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't care. Her mind was already occupied by Tsurumi Rumi. Whether it was out of a desire to help the child or because of the competition with Hayashi Chiki, she was determined to give it her all this time.

However... despite saying she's going all out, Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't have any clue what to do yet.

In her view, Rumi Tsurumi's situation is, in a sense, a structural collapse, and ordinary methods are simply ineffective and may even have the opposite effect.

If we rush forward to help her, it will not only fail to improve Tsurumi Rumi's situation, but will also make her more isolated by her companions.

If you ask why Yukinoshita knows so clearly, don't ask; the answer is that she has experienced it herself.

So, instead of getting Tsurumi Rumi back into the team, all I can do is help her adapt to this loneliness as soon as possible, right?

As Yukinoshita thought this, her gaze involuntarily fell upon Lin Qianshu sitting opposite her. At that moment, Lin Qianshu was concentrating on the curry on his plate, eating with great relish, seemingly without any worries, completely different from Yukinoshita herself.

This makes one wonder if this guy really took their match seriously.

But... regardless of whether Lin Qianshu took their match to heart, he definitely had to take his own side seriously.

As for the final results of the competition, if she finds out that Lin Qianshu didn't really care, Yukinoshita will not hesitate to use the conditions to teach him a lesson!

Of course, if Lin Qianshu takes it to heart in the end, then the corresponding punishment can be lighter... such as taking her to Disneyland?

Don't get me wrong. When Lin Qianshu took her to Chiba Zoo before, anyone could see that he was deliberately going easy on her. In return, it was perfectly normal for her to take him to Disneyland.

After repaying the favor this time, if there is a similar opportunity next time, Yukino will not hesitate to make this guy wear a maid outfit and let him experience what it feels like to be filmed in his embarrassing past.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth – this is Yukino Yukinoshita's life motto.

Just as Yukinoshita was winning the loan, she heard Miura Yumiko ask Yuihama, "How does it taste?"

Yuihama replied with a smile, "It's delicious! Yumiko's curry is just as good as my mom's!"

"Is that so~" Yumiko appeared to be taking it for granted, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her true feelings.

"How does it compare to what Yukinoshita did?" Miura Yumiko launched a pursuit.

Yuihama froze, muttering to herself, "Sigh." How could she have forgotten that half of the curry on her curry rice bowl was made by Miura Yumiko, and the other half by Yukino Yukinoshita?

Why do I always seem to run into a battleground of friendships just by having a meal?

Yuihama: o(╥﹏╥)o

"They're all good! They taste just as good as my mom's!" Yui Hama said vaguely, trying not to offend either side.

However, it's important to understand that sometimes trying to avoid offending either side often ends up offending both.

Fortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't mind. Seeing Yuihama's predicament, she said calmly, "If you want to compete, there's still some curry left in the pot. Why don't you taste it yourself and see?"

"Besides, everyone has different tastes. What's the point of asking such subjective questions? Are you a primary school student?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was as sharp-tongued as ever, and her few words almost broke Yumiko Miura's defenses again.

“Um…this…” Yuihama was caught in the middle, looking like a doormat.

If you speak up for Yukino, you'll offend Miura Yumiko.

If we don't speak up for Yukino, she's standing up for us, and it would make us seem heartless and ungrateful.

What's this called? This is called being stubborn and getting stuck in two directions.

"Who wants to eat your curry? I'm talking to Yui-hama!" Miura Yumiko gritted her teeth, her gaze passing over Yui-hama and fixed on Yukinoshita.

If looks could kill, Yukinoshita would already have several holes pierced through her body right now.

"Heh, you're only one seat away, yet you don't dare to challenge me to my face. You only dare to take your anger out on the innocent. I can't say anything about that." Yukino Yukinoshita showed no fear whatsoever, her beautiful face twisted into a sarcastic sneer, which made Yumiko Miura's chest swell up by a cup size in anger.

"What did you say?" Miura Yumiko's eyebrows shot up. She just wanted to know which was better, her curry or Yukinoshita's curry. How did she end up involving innocent people?

It makes it seem like she's bullying Yuihama.

"If that's the case, then why are you focusing on Yui Hama when you ask her? Yui Hama isn't the only one who's tasted the curry we both made." Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow and looked at Hayashi Chiki, who was sitting directly opposite her.

Lin Qianshu: ...Is there something else I need to do?

"Who, who told you I won't ask anymore!" Miura Yumiko was a little flustered. Actually, she had wanted to ask Hayashi Chiki who was more beautiful, her or Yukinoshita. No, she wanted to ask Hayashi Chiki whose curry was better.

"Then please tell her the answer, Lin Qianshu." Yukinoshita raised her chin and said to Lin Qianshu.

“Go ahead and say it,” Yumiko Miura added.

Seeing the two women locked in a fierce confrontation, the others at the table unconsciously lowered their voices, as if worried about getting into trouble. Seeing that things were not going well, Hiratsuka Shizuka decided not to watch the show anymore and immediately made an excuse to light mosquito coils and slipped away.

Because besides Lin Qianshu, Hiratsuka Shizuka's curry was also made by someone else. Hers was more mixed than Lin Qianshu's, and basically everyone who made it would give her a portion.

The saying goes, "A meal from a hundred families."

If you asked her to decide who was better, she'd be hard-pressed to tell. I'm outta here!

Yuihama felt that she had harmed Lin Qianshu and wanted to say something.

"that……"

Yuihama stepped forward.

"Does Yuihama want to overturn the verdict?" Yukinoshita asked.

"Well……"

Yuihama sat back down.

So the pressure returned to Lin Qianshu, but Lin Qianshu calmly unscrewed the cap of the purified water bottle, rinsed her mouth with the purified water, picked up a piece of curry made by Yukinoshita and savored it carefully, rinsed her mouth again, picked up another piece of curry made by Miura Yumiko and repeated the above actions.

Finally, meeting the gazes of the two girls, he cleared his throat and said, "Yukinoshita's curry is on the sweeter side, and the seasoning is close to the warm and cozy daily life, with a kind of plain and delicious taste."

"Miura's curry is on the salty side, and the seasoning is more like that of a fine restaurant, with an unusual and delicious flavor."

"Both have their merits, and it's hard to say which is better. Besides, curry is a semi-finished dish, so it's difficult to make it stand out. If you two really want to compete in cooking, I suggest you choose a different dish so I can give a better critique," Lin Qianshu said.

"Surprisingly professional," Komachi remarked after witnessing Lin Qianshu's actions.

Whether it was rinsing her mouth after tasting the food or her textbook-perfect handling of water and shifting attention, Lin Qianshu performed with remarkable professionalism. If her brother were half as capable as Lin Qianshu, would she still need to worry about his interpersonal relationships?

"There's no need to choose another one. I don't have that much time to waste arguing with her." Yukinoshita rejected the proposal without hesitation. It wasn't that she was afraid of Miura Yumiko, but she simply felt that this was meaningless. Competing with such a brainless woman was a complete waste of time.

Winning is a given, losing... what a joke, she can lose?

Having grown up, among her peers, Yukino Yukinoshita, apart from her older sister and Hayashi Chiki, really didn't take anyone else seriously.

"It's not like I want to get entangled with you," Miura Yumiko retorted defiantly.

However, this time Yumiko was not angry, because she heard Lin Qianshu say that she was on par with Yukinoshita.

Regardless of whether Lin Qianshu was responding with high emotional intelligence, in Youmeizi's opinion, Lin Qianshu's ability to give a high-EQ response itself represents his respect for her.

In short: He cares about me.

After the brief interlude, everyone had almost finished off the curry on their plates.

At this time, you can also see smoke rising from the chimneys all around, which clearly means that the elementary school students are starting to try cooking.

For most primary school students, this is their first experience of picnicking. Whether it's starting a fire or preparing ingredients, it's quite a challenge.

While high school students like Lin Qianshu can make their own curry, elementary school students often choose to work together to make their dinner.

This is also one of the purposes of the summer camp—to cultivate the teamwork skills of primary school students.
