Who says meal replacements can’t be eaten as meals?

“I don’t know.” Sakuya put her hands behind her back, tiptoed lightly, and jumped back to the souvenir shop lightly.

"what?"

"Ritsuki, buy me another one, maybe you can figure out the price~" Sakuya looked back with a triumphant smile on her face. "I heard from my sister that someone wanted to give me a gift."

The simple light grey school uniform looked much more refined under the carefully designed warm lighting of the gift shop. The soft and shiny flax ponytail hung down to the waist, and the girl's unmade-up face was particularly bright at this moment.

Her gorgeous light purple pupils met the pure gray-blue, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. Miss Lixi lowered her head unconsciously and looked at the birthday date marked on the doll again.

Shiina Riki still hasn't figured out why the girl in front of him can always dispel anxiety without leaving a trace, release warmth without making people feel ashamed...

"Hurry up, Xiao Deng and the others will be here soon." Sakuya waved her hand.

"Coming." Li Xi responded briefly and stepped into the light.

Chapter 159: Value-added Gift

A few minutes later, in the aquarium's souvenir shop.

A stuffed animal can provide a hug when you're lonely, but it can't eliminate loneliness.

When there is a conflict, a sincere and straightforward apology, avoidant eye contact, a friendly laugh from a friend, and a thoughtful gift are the right solutions to restore the relationship.

The fact that they can suppress their own personalities and get together to form a band says a lot.

The narrow gaps between the shelves form a path, and the wooden-colored racks are covered with neatly arranged aquatic dolls, embracing penguins in pairs, black and white dolphins with intelligent eyes, cartoon manta rays made to look like carpets, and the most distinctive birthday pendants.

"Rikki, is this really for me? It's so cute, and it even has my birthday on it. Rikki is so dishonest that she actually wrote it down secretly. Next time on my birthday, I must put this little penguin next to my birthday cake..." Chihaya Aine carefully looked around at the pink penguin pendant in her hand, and opened her arms in emotion, wanting to give a loving hug to Miss Rikki who had taken the initiative to apologize.

"You're so noisy! And my name is not Rikki." Shiina Riki supported the head of the outsider with one hand, her face full of displeasure. She had indeed made up her mind to bow her head and apologize, but this hateful pink-haired guitarist shamelessly held Xiao Deng's hand and walked all the way!

"I just bought it when I was giving Sakuya a return gift. Birthdays and gifts were all Sakuya's idea. I just paid for it in the end." Taking a deep breath, Ms. Li Xi suppressed her restless mood of crushing the powder hair on the spot, turned her head away and said awkwardly. "It was indeed my fault this afternoon. I shouldn't have pressured you to escape. I'm sorry."

"Hey... Actually, what Li Xi said is not wrong at all." Miss Aiyin did not push the issue any further, holding the little penguin in her hands and returning to Xiao Deng, bowing respectfully and apologizing. "I'm sorry, I haven't studied guitar seriously, and I don't want to make progress after I have learned a little..."

"Aine, Riki." Takamatsu Deng said with relief, and when their eyes met, he continued in a low voice. "We can understand each other now."

"Well, as long as you don't touch the lamp." Li Xi lowered his head in compromise.

“Ahahaha…” Aine scratched the back of her head, her eyes flickering.

"Everyone." Sakuya-san, smiling, walked up to the reconciled trio, holding a small ornament in each hand, and said anxiously, "Which do you think is cuter, the little octopus or the little seal? I also asked my sister for her opinion, but she said they are both cute."

"I'm still here~" Nagasaki Suyo reached out and caressed her sister's crown, and made another note.

"My sister and I have the same birthday...and if everyone in the band uses the same style of doll accessories, it will definitely give us a sense of teamwork, right?" Sakuya said unconvinced.

Chihaya Aine rested her head thoughtfully, looked at the little penguin in her hand, and then looked at Takamatsu Deng who was beside her and looked like a human-shaped little penguin. Should she give one to Deng as well?

"For Sakuya-chan, seals." Perhaps it was at the aquarium that he often visited, Takamatsu Deng was the first to express his opinion. "They are very lively, like to bask in the sun, and can adapt quickly there..."

"It's worthy of being a lamp... Let me buy it for you, Sakuya." Shiina Ritsuki nodded slightly first, then naturally spread his palms towards Miss Sakuya, obviously with the intention of expressing his gratitude.

"Eh? When?" Miss Su Shi asked in surprise, narrowing her eyes slightly. Just as she was about to ask further, she was interrupted by a noisy inquiring voice.

“Xiao Deng, look at this blue little penguin. Doesn’t it suit you very well? The swimming ring is also a warm orange-yellow color~” Miss Aine came back with a pair of penguin dolls in both hands and presented them like treasures.

“Thank you, Aiyin. I like it very much.” Deng carefully took the penguin, and suddenly it emitted a warm light, and became visibly happy.

"Wait, why do you want to take them in pairs?" Li Xi asked coldly.

“Because Xiao Deng likes penguins, Rikki must know that, right?” Miss Aine suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.

"Huh? You guy..." Li Xi frowned

"Lixi! Actually...actually, otters are also very cute." Takamatsu Deng tried to mediate.

"Eh?"

...

Miss Sakuya handed the little seal to the distraught Shiina Tatsuki with some reluctance, and then walked briskly back to the shopping area.

This was a rare opportunity, so she wanted to give one to everyone.

Little Lenai is a little seal that looks just like himself, white and plump with big eyes, and he looks very smart.

As for Hailing, she picked a handsome black and white killer whale, but it looked a lot more silly after putting on a swimming ring.

The blue little octopus with a fierce expression unexpectedly suited Xiangzi. Miss Sakuya fell in love with it at first sight and planned to buy it home, add a pair of black and gold ribbons on the octopus's head, and then find a chance to secretly put it on Xiaoxiang's head.

Finally, it was Wakaba Mu's turn. It was a bit abrupt for Sakuya to give a gift with her own status, and she didn't know what Mu liked, so Sakuya looked at her sister who was staring at her quietly aside as if for help.

"Sakuya, you have a lot of good friends. I can hardly hold them all with one hand." Miss Suyo's eyes were dangerous, her fingers unconsciously clenched as she praised.

"No...no, there are only Lenai, Hailing and Xiangzi. I want to give the last one to Xiaomu. Can you help me choose one, sister?" Sakuya shook her sister's arm lightly and said coquettishly.

"Haha, no." Su Shi pulled her hand away in disgust, refusing decisively and resolutely. She didn't want to help deliver the gift to Xiao Mu.

"No room for negotiation?" Sakuya continued to pull, refusing to let go.

"It's not impossible." Su Shi's eyes spun slightly, and he quietly put forward a condition. "But you must listen to me when you get home at night, and you are not allowed to run away even if I spank you."

"Okay, liars are dogs." Miss Sakuya nodded quickly. It wasn't her first time being a dog anyway, so the worst that could happen was she just barked a few times.

"Remember that." Miss Su Shi naturally saw through someone's little trick, but it didn't matter, she had her own way.

Su Shi rarely recalled the taciturn and disobedient Ruoye Mu. After a little thought, he finally chose a silly little duck, put on a swimming ring of the same color as Xiaoxiang, and handed it to his sister who had already started wagging her tail.

It was just because Xiaomu’s birthday was very close to Xiaoxiang’s that Nagasaki Suyo wrote it down.

"Thank you, sister~" The big brown dog took it with both hands, carefully put the yellow duck into his arms, and then asked as if he remembered something. "Sister, do you want to choose the seal like me?"

"No." Miss Su Shi shook her head slightly and moved her eyes away from the octopus doll that looked like a certain blue-haired lady.

"Octopuses are cuter after all."

Chapter 160: The advantage is mine!

The so-called standard configuration is ham sausage for instant noodles, effects pedals for guitar and bass, absenteeism for college students, salary deductions for customer service, sad youth literature at midnight, and copper-headed leather belts for children's education.

Even Nagasaki Suyo, who had no parenting experience, knew to prepare the necessary educational tools before starting the formal settlement, including a revised history test paper, a prepared eel salad, and a rose-red women's belt borrowed from the bottom of her mother's closet.

The bright buckle has a unique metallic color, and the surface is carved with the texture and pattern of rose petals using a relief technique. The leather is smooth, tough, and feels great, so even someone with little strength can use it flexibly.

Even though she had exercised excessively for half a day today and her school uniform was covered with stains, Miss Su Shi still forced herself to give the bathroom to her sister. After all, if she couldn't control the disobedient little puppy, she would sweat.

The sound of the shower dripping in her ears was occasionally mixed with Sakuya's humming. It was a tune she had never heard before, but Miss Suyo felt inexplicably angry, as if she was provoked in person.

My sight moved again to the pile of dolls randomly piled together in the corner of the sofa. The fat white little seal was surrounded by all kinds of aquatic creatures. It had no sense of being trapped and even had a silly smile on its face.

"Why don't you listen? You go out and run around with others every day, don't come home for dinner at night, throw your clothes everywhere after taking a shower, and deliberately make me angry." For some unknown reason, Miss Su Shi grabbed her sister's silly white seal with her slightly angry hands, kneaded it for a long time before letting it go, and then picked up the light blue octopus that Sakuya was going to give to Xiaoxiang.

"Obviously so many girls like you...why..." Miss Su Shi stared at the little octopus's fierce eyes, suddenly blushed, and quietly moved the octopus's little head to her lips.

Since childhood, Sakuya and I have liked different things, but we don't dislike each other's hobbies. I can appreciate the hair accessories that Sakuya likes, and Sakuya drinks my favorite black tea. Occasionally, we fight for the same things, and most of the time, I, as the older sister, give in first, but when it comes to the person I like, I am still the same...

"Sister, what are you doing?" Ichinose Sakuya, who was wiping her long hair with a towel, tilted her head in confusion.

Miss Sakuya, who had just finished taking a bath, was wearing a light blue home pajamas. She unconsciously hummed the melody that Shoko wrote specifically for her. She walked out of the bathroom in a good mood and planned to let her sister take a good bath to relax.

Then he saw his sister half-bending stealthily, holding something in both hands, as if she was putting it towards her lips.

"Nothing!" Miss Su Shi shouted, feeling a little guilty for some reason. She coughed twice before sitting up straight again, fiddling with the hair beside her ears. "The swimming ring of this doll fell off, and I'm helping her put it back together."

"Eh——?" Someone dragged out the sound, with disbelief written all over his face, but now he was home, and for the sake of his own little butt he should not continue to provoke his sister. Maybe his broad-minded sister would forgive him.

Thinking that she hadn't done anything too outrageous today, Miss Sakuya relaxedly lay down on the remaining half of the sofa. Could her sister still whip her butt with a belt?

Miss Su Shi put the blue octopus on the edge of her pendant without changing her expression, and then turned her head to look at the stupid sister lying in Ge You's position, and smacked her lips softly. "I told you to pay attention to your sitting posture."

"Okay, okay~" Someone turned over indifferently, changed from lying to crawling, swiping his mobile phone with both hands, quickly browsing the introduction page of the shopping street.

"Sakuya, I noticed that you don't seem to listen to me recently?" Nagasaki Suyo said in a faint voice. The nameless fire that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burned at this moment. She clenched and unclenched her fists, fully exercising her slender five fingers.

“Is there...?” Ms. Sakuya’s eyes shifted.

Snapped--

An unusually loud slapping sound was heard, and Miss Su Shi waved her hands with all her might, mercilessly caressing her sister's defenseless buttocks with her palms. The soft flesh transmitted obvious vibrations through the loose pajamas, and was pinched lightly by five fingers.

“Wow!” Miss Sakuya exclaimed softly, and she rolled away from her sister pitifully, holding her butt. “Sister…sister, what are you doing?”

"It's a punishment." Su Shi stood up calmly, put on a kind smile again, took the first educational tool, picked up a piece of grilled eel with chopsticks and handed it to Sakuya's mouth.

Miss Sakuya leaned back suspiciously, but decided to take a bite and put some distance between herself and the food.

"Is it delicious?" Su Shi tilted his head and smiled.

"It tastes good, but why did you hit me?" Sakuya responded aggrievedly. Her butt was still feeling a strange tingling sensation. One piece of eel was not enough to appease her. She needed at least a whole plate.

"This is compensation." Putting down the bamboo chopsticks, Miss Suyo spread out the second treasure with both hands, showing the history test paper covered with red ticks in front of someone. "Let's play a game, Sakuya."

"No, I feel like you just want to find a reason to beat me up, sister." Ms. Sakuya, the famous Lostbelt historian, shook her head and refused. She looked at the huge score of 61 on the test paper calmly, and even felt a little proud. As expected of me, I actually passed the history exam. I had originally planned to let my sister take the make-up exam on my behalf.

"You can also choose to eat vegetable minestrone soup for a month." Miss Su Shi instantly turned into a devil and pronounced the verdict with a dark face.

"Isn't a month a bit too long? How about... two weeks?" Sakuya probed.

"You think I'm in the vegetable market and you're still bargaining? Either you play games or you eat vegetarian food for a month. It's your choice." Miss Su Shi reached out and touched the itchy spot on someone's waist, saying ruthlessly.

Miss Sakuya's eyes turned half a circle, and she began to weigh the pros and cons in her heart. Compared with her sister's weak spanking threat, it seemed that being a vegetarian was more terrifying...

In fact, she didn't feel much pain, it was just a little sudden and she was frightened. So she pretended to be pitiful in front of her sister. Anyway, her sister would not have the heart to really hit me. As long as she vented enough, she could go back to the happy life of eating meat every meal.

“You tell me how to play first.” Sakuya pushed away her sister’s hand that was aiming at her weak spots and muttered softly.

"It's very simple. I'll ask you the questions on the test paper. If you answer correctly, nothing happened. I can cook whatever you want. But if you answer incorrectly..." Miss Su Shi fumbled with the smooth edge of the belt, revealing her true intentions. "Just let me spank you."

"Ha, that's it." Miss Sakuya, who had passed the history weekly exam with great perfection, accepted the challenge calmly. Since she had passed, her chance of winning was 60% to 40%.

The advantage is mine!

Chapter 161 is over

Most of the knowledge learned is time-sensitive. The key points of the outline studied overnight before the exam will be quickly forgotten according to Hermann Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve. The result of not applying and repeating the knowledge is to leave a specious impression, which may even conflict with the new content and interfere with each other.

At the very least, Ms. Ichinose Sakuya's answer was still very entertaining. Even watching it again almost made Nagasaki Motoyo laugh out loud.

Patting her own sister who was half-lying on her as if replying to Line, Miss Su Shi moved to a suitable position to exert force, shook the belt buckle in her hand before speaking with pity.

"So, let's start with a simple question. Where was the capital of Japan during the Heian period?"

"Haha, of course it's Kyoto, also known as Heian-kyo, I know that." Miss Sakuya replied confidently without even turning her head. "It's a bit ridiculous if you ask a question of this level, so just get straight to it!"

"You are so confident, you wouldn't secretly check the answer on your phone, right?" Su Shi was suspicious, and tapped the place where he had just tapped through his pajamas, secretly applying pressure.

"It's just my confidence in my historical level." Sakuya answered immediately, typing quickly, sending a message for help at a speed far beyond that of an ordinary mediocre writer.

She was indeed very confident in Xiangzi's historical level. Anyway, chat records could be folded up quickly. The game was over and it would definitely be her victory.

"What about the second question? After the end of World War II, what treaty did Japan and the United States sign that declared the end of colonial rule?" Miss Motoyo curled her lips slightly. This was also a question that Sakuya answered correctly on the test paper, but it was a multiple-choice question.

"Is there... this question on the test paper?" The high school girl who had not studied history for a week asked a clear question.

"If you can't answer, you'll be beaten." Su Shi was ruthless, and the small leather belt in his hand was ready to move.

As for the United States...is it "The Washington Treaty?" The unread messages on Line were a bit glaring, so Ms. Sakuya timidly chose the exhaustive method.

Snapped--

Nagasaki Suyo brought down the belt neither too hard nor too lightly, with just enough subtle force to make the person feel pain but without causing too much of a reaction. It would be bad if the big brown-haired dog got away.

"The answer is the Treaty of San Francisco. So, the third question..."

"Hmm...wait a minute, sister, how many questions are you going to ask?" After Sakuya snorted, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something key. If his sister asked all the questions, wouldn't he be beaten at least a dozen times?

"I don't know. Maybe I'll just keep asking until someone obeys me." Miss Su Shi clamped her throat and made a rather frightening statement in a questioning tone.

"Then the third question..."

"Goo."

There is no need to say much about what happened afterwards. It was nothing more than some boring topics like [Tokugawa Ieyasu] helping Tokugawa Ieyasu unify Japan, and the [Pacific Heavenly Kingdom Movement] caused by the conflict between traditional feudal dynasties in East Asia over influence over Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Compared with these magnificent historical events, the copper-headed leather belt in her sister's hand was more vivid in Miss Sakuya's memory.

It hurts for a while, but if I run, then all the beatings I received before will be in vain.

Until now, lying on the sofa, holding her chubby, red little butt, Miss Sakuya finally realized her mistake and regretted it. Next time when she pissed off her sister, she should just run to her room and lock the door. Can her sister stay angry for a month...
