The Stand in the Everyday World

"Tilting your head to the left octave is a cute magic that can increase your cuteness by 20%."

Facing Kato Megumi's gaze, Fujii Shunsuke suddenly spoke incoherently.

"?"

Kato Megumi's cuteness had already increased by 50%. She tilted her head slightly to express her doubts, and her cuteness increased again. Increased, increased, increased. Increased! ...

Fujii Shunsuke, who was caught off guard and fascinated by Kato Megumi, said honestly: "Kato's absolute domain is the highest, invincible! It's a beautiful explosion!"

"...Fujii-kun, this is considered harassment."

Her calm eyes looked at Fujii Shunsuke quietly. After a while, Kato Megumi turned back and continued walking as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, Xiaohui, aren't you angry?" Fujii Shunsuke chased after her and brought up something irrelevant.

But he was really curious, because in his memory, the only time Kato Megumi was angry was when she first met Aki Tomoya. When Aki Tomoya said that she had "no characteristics" and "her image is dead", which were words that hit her weaknesses hard, she showed her anger reluctantly and said to Aki Tomoya, saying, "Are you qualified to say this?"

As for other times, it seems that I have never been so angry again.

So Shunsuke Fujii was very curious.

"I'm a girl too. Of course I'd get angry if I encountered something like this." Kato Megumi said indifferently.

"Hey, why can't I see that?"

"Because this is compensation, so I'm not angry anymore."

"Ah, how can this be?!" Fujii Shunsuke couldn't accept it. "It was obviously my good fortune that I encountered a lucky pervert, and this is used as compensation? I can't accept it!"

Hearing what Fujii Shunsuke said, Kato Megumi was still not angry, but said softly: "If Fujii-kun you continue to dwell on this topic, I will really be angry."

"Ahem, it's my blessing to eat the food cooked by my aunt. By the way, didn't I say last time that I would go to your house to have a meal together, Xiaohui? When is my aunt free? Let's make an appointment?"

Shunsuke Fujii gave in instantly.

"Fujii-kun, really........"

Kato Megumi seemed to let out a breath, not knowing what to say to such lazy Fujii Shunsuke.

-------------------

Arriving at the rooftop, Fujii Shunsuke walked in front of Kato Megumi, opened the rooftop door and walked out.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was already sitting on the bench on the rooftop, saw the rooftop door being opened. A smile unconsciously appeared on her face and her little mouth opened as if she was about to say something. Then she saw Kato Megumi appearing from behind Fujii Shunsuke.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's face instantly changed from a full smile to an expressionless face, performing a facial change.

"Trash-kun, I was wondering why you were late today. I see, that's why."

She didn't say what "so that's what" meant, but the look in her eyes was frighteningly cold.

"Ah, Kasumigaoka-senpai is here too?"

When Kato Megumi was looked at like this, it was as if a gentle breeze was blowing on her face, with no ripples on her face. Although theoretically she was expressing surprise, her calm tone made it difficult for people to think that she was surprised.

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes, thinking that the ordinary-looking girl with a bob haircut in front of her was provoking her, otherwise how would she know who she was and talk like that? She had obviously investigated her!

Kasumigaoka Utaha carefully looked at Kato Megumi. Well, she had a bob haircut that was not feminine at all (a bold statement!), thighs that were neither long nor short, and a chest that was not very prominent. She looked okay, but her face was not stunning either........

Kasumigaoka Utaha easily came to the conclusion that this girl posed no threat to her at all.

Although it may seem a bit narcissistic to look at herself this way, Kasumigaoka Utaha is still very aware of her appearance and figure. This girl cannot challenge her.

Similarly, she is no match for the other girls around Trash-kun, so don't take it to heart. She is not an opponent. The real opponent worth paying attention to is——

Mai Sakurajima, a talented star who has been popular since she was a child and is on the list of "the one students want to be their girlfriend the most"; Eriri Sawamura, a blonde girl with twin ponytails and one of the most popular girls in the second grade and his childhood sweetheart; Mashiro Shiina, a world-renowned genius painter and a pet girl who trusts him wholeheartedly; and Yukinoshita Yukino, also the most popular girl in the second grade, whose face is stunning even to her own eyes except for her slightly flawed breasts.......

In addition to the above-mentioned enemies, other noises include the cute and pretentious juniors and hot-bodied gyaru juniors in the club, classmates with vulgar bodies in the same class and club, a perverted editor who looks very weird and has an even weirder body, another childhood sweetheart who looks very pure... There is even an Iwase Aiko in his own classical literature department!

Compared with the above-mentioned "enemies" with their own characteristics, a mere passerby girl with no outstanding advantages cannot possibly attract the attention of Trash Man, and is really not worthy of his extra attention - bullshit!

You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t count it. There are so many beautiful girls in the school. This rubbish guy is really good at flirting with girls! There are so many “enemies” waiting for you outside that you don’t know about!

Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped staring at Kato Megumi and turned her head to glare at Fujii Shunsuke fiercely. She began to shake her legs unconsciously. This was a little habit she had developed at some point, a habit she developed when she was upset or anxious.

"Get, get, get", "Get, get, get, get"

The soles of my shoes kept hitting the floor, faster and faster.

"?"

Fujii Shunsuke was bewildered by the stare. After all, even with the presence of [Star Platinum], women's minds are deeper than the sea, and it is too difficult for him to guess right every time.

However, his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the extremely shiny and slightly translucent black stockings thighs that kept showing off their presence in front of him. After all, this was the greatest attribute of the senior sister. Is she still a senior sister without black stockings?

——Humph, man, still staring at this time!

Keenly aware of Fujii Shunsuke's gaze, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little complicated for a moment. While she was angry, she couldn't avoid a hint of joy and pride.

I have put a lot of effort into taking good care of my feet!

——No, if I think like that, wouldn’t it seem like I really want to show it to him?! That’s not the case!

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head violently again. A girl's heart is so complicated.

465. Ten Outstanding

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to be immersed in some bad atmosphere and couldn't get out, Fujii Shunsuke coughed and introduced: "Utaha, this is Kato Megumi from my class. Xiaohui, this is Kasumigaoka Utaha... By the way, you seem to have known it?"

"Well, after all, seniors Kasumigaoka and Mai Sakurajima are like legends among the juniors. I have only heard rumors. I didn't expect that Fujii-kun is so familiar with senior Kasumigaoka." Kato Megumi glanced at the lunch box that Kasumigaoka Utaha placed on the chair and said with a faint expression.

"Rumors? What rumors? What about them?" Shunsuke Fujii asked curiously.

"Hmm~~~" Kato Megumi thought, glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and then looked at Fujii Shunsuke, "Fujii-kun, can you say this kind of thing in front of the person himself?"

"Ah, this should be fine. After all, it's just a rumor in school. Compared with the words on the Internet, it's not worth mentioning at all. I don't think Shiyu will care."

"Is that so? Does Senior Kasumigaoka have another identity on the Internet?"

"Well, I forgot to introduce her just now. Shiyu's pen name is Kasumi Shiko, but she is praised as a new and cutting-edge high school beautiful girl writer in the light novel world."

"As expected of Fujii-kun, you are surrounded by famous painters, actors, and writers. You are surrounded by important people."

"He's not a big shot, Xiaohui, you're exaggerating." Fujii Shunsuke waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hey, I don't think I was praising you, Fujii-kun?"

"I know this, but to be honest, in terms of employment relationship, they are all my employees and I am the boss."

"Trash, now that you have a newcomer, do you not care about the old one anymore?" Kasumigaoka Utaha laughed, stood up and walked to the left side of Fujii Shunsuke - Kato Megumi was on the right, blew gently into his ear and said, "Xiao Hui? You call me that so affectionately, what's the matter, Trash, did you bring her here specially to show off to me that you have a newcomer? Sakurajima-san will be back from work tomorrow, do you need me to tell her?"

"Old friend? New friend?" Kato Megumi widened her eyes a little. "So Kasumigaoka-senpai and Fujii-kun are in this relationship? I didn't expect that the senior would be Fujii-kun's ex-girlfriend... And Sakurajima-senpai, could it be?"

"Hehe, Xiaohui, don't believe everything you hear. Shiyu is just joking. I've been single since birth!" Fujii Shunsuke said righteously, not looking guilty at all.

Even if he has been secretly dating Futaba Rio and has no less than 20 "girlfriends" at the same time, as long as it has not been made public and exposed, he is still a bachelor!

"I see." Kato Megumi's tone remained unchanged, and she didn't say whether she believed it or not.

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Fujii Shunsuke changed the subject: "Let's eat first. The lunch break is so short. If we continue like this, we won't have enough time."

As he spoke, Fujii Shunsuke sat in the middle of the bench with his lunch box in hand, and put his thighs together, then placed the lunch box on them: "Today's dishes are carefully prepared by me. They are the kind that even if they are cooled and then heated up, the taste will not dissipate too much. It will definitely surprise you."

"Gulong"

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Ever since she was fed the lunch box made by Shunsuke Fujii last time, if it weren't for her modesty as a girl, she wouldn't want to bring her own lunch anymore. It would be great if she could just eat for free at noon every day.

Without the intention to act venomous anymore, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately sat down obediently on the right side of Fujii Shunsuke.

"Hey, Fujii-kun, do you cook for yourself?"

After looking at the instantly obedient Kasumigaoka Utaha with a slightly puzzled look, Kato Megumi naturally sat on the left of Fujii Shunsuke and took the lunch box out of the bag, revealing a three-layer high lunch box.

Kato's mother also works very hard.

"Well, I made these in the morning. I'm usually responsible for cooking at home."

"I never expected that. After all, you are a big shot, aren't you, Fujii-kun? Ah, should I say a big shot among big shots? I thought it would be like on TV, with a special chef. During the meal, the butler in a tuxedo opened a bottle of red wine and said, 'This is 82 red wine, Miss.' Is that right?"

"You are applying the character of the rich lady in the TV show to me." Fujii Shunsuke said speechlessly, "Although it is indeed possible to do so, it is too troublesome. It is better for me to do it myself."

With Shunsuke Fujii's current power and financial resources, for most things, it is most convenient and enjoyable to let professionals serve him. However, for a few matters, it is more comfortable to do it yourself, one of which is cooking for yourself.

After so many years, making delicious meals has become a habit and a pleasure for Shunsuke Fujii. Thanks to Star Platinum, as long as the ingredients are prepared in advance, Shunsuke Fujii only needs five minutes at most to cook a meal. This saves time while still retaining his own fun.

Some time ago, Fujii Shunsuke went to Totsuki Academy for "further studies" in the name of the Hyakuka clan. Totsuki's general, the leader of Sakurajima's culinary world, Nakiri Senzaemon, personally entertained him. Although he did not cook personally, he arranged for his granddaughter Nakiri Erina to spend three days demonstrating all the dishes he could cook. Nakiri Erina was exhausted and her original favorability towards Fujii Shunsuke above the basic value was completely lost.

However, the little bit of favorability that was lost was doubled back after Shunsuke Fujii perfectly replicated her cooking after just watching it once, due to women's natural admiration for the strong.

Nakiri Senzaemon wanted to accept Fujii Shunsuke as his last disciple on the spot, but Fujii Shunsuke refused as he thought it was troublesome.

He learned how to cook these dishes just to feed himself and his family, and he had no intention of doing more.

Afterwards, with a special mentality, Fujii Shunsuke went to see the cuisine of the Ten Best Stories again, and by the way, he also gave poor Eiyama Edatsu, who could never escape, a meal and defeated him in the Food Battle.

Under normal circumstances, Fujii Shunsuke, who won the food battle, should have become one of the new Ten Best, but he was an outsider after all, so Nakiri Senzaemon waved his brush and gave him the second-year high school title of "Ten Non-staff".

ps: Since yesterday, my computer has started to act up again. It often goes blue screen, often every few minutes. For fear of further damaging the computer, I dare not restart it immediately. I always wait for a few minutes before restarting it, and then it goes blue screen again... It is impossible to write in this situation. I have been working on it intermittently until now and finally finished writing one chapter.

Following the advice of my group friends, I plan to find some free time to reinstall the system.

466. Development of Kato Megumi

Now, Shunsuke Fujii has captured the stomach of Utaha Kasumigaoka with his superb cooking skills. He is looking forward to seeing how Kato Megumi will react after eating the lunch box in which he has drugged her.

Kato Megumi took out her lunch box layer by layer. The dishes inside were very rich, including rice balls, fried potatoes, purple potato balls, tamagoyaki, grilled fish, fish cakes, small sausages, pickled radishes, beef patties... These classic home-cooked lunch box dishes were woven by Kato's mother with her skillful hands into a pleasing color arrangement, and it seemed that a lot of effort had been put into it.

At the same time, there is a full layer of high-quality beef inside, which is filled with fragrance after being heated in the microwave.

Kasumigaoka Utaha smacked her lips and said, "Kato-san, isn't your lunch box a little too luxurious?"

"Well, mom made a lot, so I can only give some to Fujii-kun. Of course, if Kasumigaoka-senpai wants to try some, that's fine, since there's so much anyway."

"Are you intentionally going long... Kato-san, is it okay for you to just say it directly?" Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Fujii Shunsuke.

"Well, it was too obvious after all. Fujii-kun saw it at a glance."

Kato Megumi said calmly while placing the box of beef in the middle.

——How dare you have dinner with me when I can tell what’s going on?

Kasumigaoka Utaha really wanted to be sarcastic, but she held back, after all, she was not familiar with Kato Megumi.

——I’ll mock Trash-kun later.

"Then let's exchange lunch boxes today, Xiaohui, you can also try my cooking skills."

"That's not—"

Kato Megumi, who was still about to refuse, stopped immediately when she smelled the strong, heart-stirring aroma that emanated after Fujii Shunsuke opened the box.

"Canteen Spicy Sauce!"

The corners of Fujii Shunsuke's mouth rose slightly, and he instantly summoned the [Star Platinum] to capture this precious scene.

However, looking at the dishes he had carefully prepared, he still sighed: "It's a pity that no matter how hard I try, I still can't make the dishes shine."

"Glow?"

"Well, the moment the dish was opened, it emitted a dazzling golden light. This is only seen in the top-quality dishes."

"Sonada, is there such a thing? Siguoyi, I never knew about it." Miss Kato Hui used the five-word secret very naturally, "You are worthy of being Fujii-kun, you know so much."

"I have good taste, right?" Shunsuke Fujii suddenly said with a sense of déjà vu.

"Huh?" Kato Megumi was completely unable to keep up with the nervous Shunsuke Fujii.

"Trash-kun, only in the novels of that fellow Akiyama Shinobu, the delicious food will glow with golden light." Kasumigaoka Utaha unconsciously wanted to shake her legs again, "In the real world, if you want food to glow, you can only do it by sprinkling fluorescent powder on it!"

"Ah, so Fujii-kun is talking about the plot in the novel?"

"But no."

"Hmm?" Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly.
