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

Chihaya Aine was trying to put down the whole plate of beef slices at once. She stood up and happily used chopsticks to pick up slices of beef slices, put them into the soup and randomly swiped them twice to make them evenly distributed. Since Sakuya had taken Wakaba to sit on the side of the booth first, she could only continue to operate under Suze's slightly disgusted eyes.

We're having a buffet, why are you still being so ladylike?

"It's not good for digestion for Aiyin-san to eat so fast, right?" Nagasaki Suyo looked at the silly way someone was shoveling beef into her plate in silence. For a moment, she thought that the person next to her was her greedy sister.

"The time limit is only ninety minutes, so of course we have to eat quickly to save money." Chihaya Aine answered reasonably, pausing slightly and imitating Sakuya to place the beef on Suze's plate.

Nagasaki Suyo frowned slightly and lowered the score of the pink-haired lecher by another three points.

"That's right, sister, a vegetarian like me can't understand human love for meat. Such a delicacy should be enjoyed by professional food connoisseurs." Miss Sakuya spoke up for justice. She simultaneously stretched out her chopsticks and picked up the meat slices that had just landed in her sister's bowl and had not yet settled for long. She flipped her palm and let them change owners.

Nagasaki Suyo's fierce eyes moved sideways, and a small red well-shaped pattern seemed to appear on his forehead. "I didn't say no, did I?"

"Eh?" Miss Sakuya blinked in surprise, then picked out the vegetables from her bowl with embarrassment and gave them to her sister who loved to eat them.

Looking at the tall tower of vegetables in the bowl, Miss Su Shi's smile was maintained very reluctantly. She almost wanted to stand up immediately and execute her disrespectful and stupid sister on the spot.

"Come on, Xiaomu, you need to eat more protein to become smarter, and you can eat less rice." Miss Sakuya robbed the spoils and happily took another piece and put it in Wakaba Mu's bowl, placing it on the rice side by side with the previous piece.

"......" Ruo Ye Mu looked up and looked at each other, his mouth slightly opened, then lowered his head happily and raised the corners of his mouth at the beef on the rice.

Nagasaki Suyo held the bamboo chopsticks tightly with her fingers and smiled even more kindly.

"I didn't expect to meet Xiaomu today. I'm very happy." Miss Su Shi spoke in her signature gentle voice.

"......Hmm." Ruo Yemu lowered his eyes and glanced at her quietly. After a long while, he hummed softly.

"Sister, didn't you and Xiaomu have a conflict?" Miss Sakuya asked while eating meat and tilting her head.

"It's just some minor misunderstandings. It's been resolved, right?" Miss Su Shi put down her chopsticks, supported her chin with both hands and looked at Ruoye Mu who was peeking at her. As expected, Xiao Mu would still listen to her, but he was just unwilling to really do it.

"......" Ruo Yemu stared at Su Shi in silence for a moment, then turned his head to look at another pair of the same gray-blue eyes, the concerned look was warmer...

Ruoye Mu shook his head slightly and whispered, "It's no longer a misunderstanding now."

"What do you mean...Xiao Mu?" Su Shi was stunned. Xiao Mu, who had always obeyed him and only opposed him behind his back, actually rudely removed the opportunity he had offered him.

"That means that sister failed to apologize properly to Xiaomu." Miss Sakuya nodded in understanding. Her guess was indeed correct. Poor Xiaomu must be very hurt, but too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Even if it's an apology, Xiaomu should apologize to me first!" Nagasaki Suye's nose was slightly sour, and she threw her image and etiquette to the wind, shouting out with some grievance.

If it weren't for what Xiaomu said at that time, Crychic wouldn't have ended so easily. It's all Xiaomu's fault...Why even Sakuya came to blame herself.

"Sister, wait wait..." The sudden emotional outburst made Sakuya a little overwhelmed. She never expected that her sister, who was gradually getting over the past, would have such an obsession with Xiaomu, and even acted aggrieved like a little girl whose toy was taken away.

Miss Aine, who was sitting next to her, looked at her with a look of confusion, and tentatively placed her hand on her soft flaxen hair.

"...Excuse me, it seems that this is indeed my fault." Nagasaki Suyo did not push Aine's hand away as usual, but quickly adjusted herself and apologized to Wakaba Mu with a smile. "I'm sorry, Mu, I may have been too impatient and ignored your feelings. Please forgive me?"

"...No." Ruo Yemu shook his head vigorously, not too much. "Su Shi, you're right."

"...I should be the one who comes to apologize to Su Shi." There were mixed emotions in the light golden eyes: three parts heartache, three parts sadness, three parts relief, and one part reluctance.

Su Shi... was always sad, but never blamed me, and even comforted me...

I should have said sorry to Su Shi a long time ago.

Wakaba Mutsu took half of the only two slices of beef in front of her and carefully placed it on Nagasaki Suze's bowl full of vegetables.

"What is this?" Nagasaki Suyo asked coldly in her original voice.

"Apologize..." Wakaba Mutsu timidly withdrew his hand and said nervously. "Sakuya said that only by eating more meat can you be happy."

"Are you an idiot..." Su Shi sighed helplessly again.

She finally ate the piece of beef that had been turned a full circle with mustard.

Chapter 190: Experienced Ms. Sakuya

In the end, we still couldn't make it to the end line after 90 minutes.

Ichinose Sakuya didn't eat much, and was the first to put down his chopsticks. He ate some lettuce leaves as compensation and then focused on helping Wakaba Mutsushi shabu-shabu beef. Of course, he didn't forget to share some with his dearest sister. The main point was a traditional culture of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

She didn’t prepare any specifically for Aine, because most of the meat slices that went into her sister’s bowl ended up in Miss Aine’s stomach.

"Xiao Mu, are you full?" Sakuya asked again kindly.

"...I'm full, burp." Ruo Yemu lowered his head in shame and silently wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a tissue. He ate so much, his mother would definitely scold him when he got home.

"It looks like you're full." Ms. Sakuya nodded with a gentle look in her eyes. It would be better if Xiao Mu's delicate face was rounder. It would be cuter with a little baby fat. "If you can't eat anymore, don't force yourself. Even if you try hard to grow, you can't grow all at once."

"......Burp." Wakaba Mu burped softly and nodded. In fact, she had been full for a long time, but Sakuya still picked up food for her with an expectant look on her face, so she could only try her best to eat it in small bites.

"Sister, are you full too?" Miss Sakuya turned to look at her sister who was drinking tea across from her and asked in a timid tone.

"Hmph." Nagasaki Suyo snorted lightly, rolled her eyes in jealousy as if to say 'Now you remember me, your sister', and continued drinking tea.

"Are you 70% full?" Ms. Sakuya put her chopsticks into the pot again and asked tentatively.

"I'm full, stop picking up more food..." Chihaya Aine hurriedly raised her hand to stop Sakuya's heavy love. The angry Nagasaki Motoyo was like a porter, and she would transfer almost as much food as Sakuya picked up to her own bowl.

At first she was very happy when Xiao Sushi took the initiative to pick up food for her, until she could not eat anymore and then she realized that there was a pile of beef slices in front of her.

"Ain, you should eat more. Time is precious, you should make full use of it. Didn't Ain say that herself?" Su Shi smiled and piled another rattle roll on top of the bowl.

“Aaaah, Suyo-chan is so mean, I can’t eat anymore…” Aine protested bitterly, and her accomplice, Ms. Ponytail, looked at her with some resentment, wondering why she got punished but Sakuya-chan was fine…

Seeing little Aine's miserable condition right before her eyes, Miss Sakuya subconsciously sat up straight, pretending to be busy. She didn't want to look at Aine's resentful light grey eyes. She tilted her head to observe the gurgling soup base, quietly comprehending the true meaning of blooming.

"Sakuya." After dealing with the fickle pink-haired girl, Nagasaki Motoyo turned around again and called her sister's name with a smile.

"I'm full!" Miss Sakuya raised her hands in surrender and said in a slightly frightened tone.

"Really? That's hard to believe." Miss Su Shi smiled and questioned. "A person who can run 800 meters in less than three minutes doesn't have much appetite today."

"...Burp." Ruo Ye Mu met two pairs of the same gray-blue eyes at the same time. He quickly covered his mouth and quietly shrank under the table, pretending to be an innocent little cucumber.

"I've been trying to lose weight recently... and I ate popcorn this afternoon. If I eat more, I'll gain weight." Ms. Sakuya said with an evasive look, curling her hair that was hanging by her ears.

“I don’t think Sakuya needs to worry about this problem~” Miss Motoyo reached out and took the plate filled with loving offerings in front of Miss Aine, leaned forward, and under the desperate gaze of her younger sister, she tilted it halfway before stopping and returning the dish to its original owner.

Chihaya Aine was holding back her laughter, and took the time to send a gloating look, but was stared at by the motherly girl next to her, so she pretended to be normal and tried to finish the remaining half of the punishment.

"It will become fat~" Sakuya stole a glance at her sister's face, pretending to whine, and obediently picked up the meat slices and dipped them in the seasoning yuzu pepper. She didn't like eating with raw egg liquid, or perhaps she rejected most raw food. Food tasted better after being cooked.

"Don't worry, the school sports meet will be next week." Miss Su Shi smiled sweetly and kindly reminded. "If I remember correctly, someone seems to have taken the initiative to sign up for the 1600-meter long-distance race."

"Hiss..." Sakuya suddenly felt the pepper was a bit spicy.

“Eh? Is there also a sports meet in Tsuki Forest next week?” Miss Aine interrupted while biting a bell-shaped scroll.

“Oh, that’s right. It’s in the gym outside the school. Tokyo’s high schools usually hold sports meets during this time of year. Last year, they added a marathon competition, but Tsukinomori didn’t participate.” Miss Suyo explained gently, her hands moving constantly. She only felt relieved when she picked up some vegetables for Aine.

Ignoring the low groaning coming from across the street, the experienced and smart Sakuya found the highlight. "It's held outside the school... Does that mean students from other schools can also visit?"

"...If you're invited, sure. Hiccup." Wakaba Mu said quickly, and shrank closer to Sakuya again. It was unknown whether it was because he was afraid of Nagasaki Suyo's dark state or because he was simply too full. His small body trembled a little bit, and he lightly touched the arm of the person next to him.

"Tsk." Su Shi let out a light click of his tongue, his handsome brows slightly furrowed, and he pretended not to see it.

She also needed Xiao Mu to help Sakuya cover up in the Moon Forest. If she told Sakuya directly, it would be bad. The stupid sister would definitely let down her guard and not cover up. Anyway, it was just a play between children, so she just let Sakuya show her motherly love.

"Then I'll go!" Chihaya Aine waved her hand and said excitedly.

"Doesn't Aiyin-san have to go to school?" Su Shi glanced at him, not understanding why the pink-haired girl was so clingy.

“This is the sports meet for the young ladies of Tsukinomori. It’s definitely more interesting than the one in Haneda, right? I didn’t sign up for any events, so why can’t I go?” Aine-san replied with her hands on her hips, standing straight.

“I won’t invite Aine-san,” Sushi said without turning her head as she sipped her tea.

“Hey, why?” Miss Aiyin went straight to her, hugged her with both hands and asked coquettishly.

The tea spilled a little bit, and Nagasaki Suyo pushed the pink-haired head in disdain, gritting her teeth as she stated her reasons. "If you come, you will definitely bring Xiao Deng and everyone in the band, and there won't be enough places."

"...Hiccup." Ruo Yemu opened her mouth slightly. She really didn't mean it...

"I can go with Xiaomu." Ms. Sakuya finished half of Cricket's plate of food with ease, smacked her lips and said confidently.

"Sakuya..." Su Shi sighed, and no longer exerted force on her hands that were pressed against her pink hair.

"I'm here, sis." Sakuya chuckled, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and then burped in sync with Wakaba Mutsu beside her.

Aine-san was the first to laugh, followed by the two of them looking at each other with their lips curled up.

Nagasaki Suyo still didn't forgive Wakaba Mutsu, but she did show an uncontrollable smile.

A bunch of idiots.

Chapter 191 Only the Moon Remains the Same

Leisurely days are always fulfilling and happy. If you add a comfortable sofa and a fully charged mobile phone, the happiness will increase exponentially.

After washing up and brushing her teeth, Ichinose Sakuya seemed to be glued to the sofa, expressing her happiness simply in front of the screen of her mobile phone, sometimes clicking on today's bass jokes, and sometimes sharing some cute and adorable things that heal people's hearts.

If her sister hadn't reminded her, she probably would have just lay down and fallen asleep.

"The tea is cold. Do you want to drink it or not?" Nagasaki Suyo, who was also wearing a nightgown, poked her sister's ticklish spot lightly and said unhappily.

“Don’t drink anymore.” Ms. Sakuya turned over and moved away, not wanting her sister’s Big Dipper to point out her weaknesses. Her hands kept moving, and she continued to chat with [Customer Service S] about irrelevant topics.

"I made it because you said you were too greasy and wanted to drink tea." Miss Su Shi stroked her fingers lightly, like a swordsman wiping a three-foot-long sword, and the rain of flowers in the sky was gradually taking place. Even the subsequent Hundred Flowers Kill had planned the attack route.

"I forgot." Sensing the murderous intent, Ms. Sakuya stood up with a grunt, hugged the pillow and pushed it to the edge of the sofa, and explained timidly in a defensive posture. "I brushed my teeth after taking a shower. If I drink tea, I have to brush my teeth again."

"Then brush it again and let me drink it." Miss Su Shi, who was furious, simply stood up, grabbed Sakuya's hands that were covering her chest like a playing elementary school student, and unhappily pressed the stinky sister under her.

The stupid sister has come up with some new ways to make me angry recently. She takes advantage of the fact that it is not easy to take action outside and musters all her strength to provoke me. I have written them all down in my little notebook.

Ms. Sakuya tried to struggle for a bit, then she put away her phone and groaned pitifully, before decisively giving in. "I can't move anymore..."

Anyway, my sister just wanted to see me suffer, so even if she said she was angry she wouldn't really do anything.

"It's no use pretending to be good now." Su Shi said coldly. He continued to press his body against his silly sister, rubbing her soft face back and forth with his hands, until the silly sister's eyes were wet pitifully, and then he softened his heart and withdrew his hands.

"Hmph." Sushi asked in a somewhat awkward tone while drinking tea and leaning on her sister's arms through the pillow. "Why did you let Aine-san hold me back?"

"I thought that Mu-chan and her sister had a good relationship." Ms. Sakuya rubbed her cheeks and said awkwardly. "After all, when we were in the Moon Forest, Mu-chan was very attached to me."

"So you still have me, your sister, in your eyes." Miss Su Shi said sourly, leaning back a little, her long flaxen hair spread out, with a few lively strands actively moving towards Sakuya's hands.

The last time I was pressed by my sister like this was when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. I even felt a little nostalgic and comfortable. Having someone lean on me gently after eating can probably be considered happiness.

"Are you jealous? Because of Mu-chan..." Sakuya apologized and wrapped his hands around his sister's hair, circling around little by little.

"Is it okay with Xiao Mu?" Su Shi squinted, poured another cup of black tea, and sipped it slowly. "My relationship with Xiao Mu is very complicated. Both sides owe each other something. Now we are more like maintaining a tacit understanding..."

"Oh..." It's like an ex-girlfriend, but I have to see her every day... Miss Sakuya thought very rudely, but her body remained obedient.

"It's okay for you to be friends with Xiaomu, Sakuya, but don't try to get me to accompany Xiaomu anymore." Nagasaki Suyo's tone was a little depressed, as if a corner of the heavy object she was holding up with both hands was gently put down. She was slightly deflated, but still managed to maintain her balance with difficulty.

"Also, keep your distance!" Miss Su Shi recalled what she had seen today and spoke word by word. "Even if it's Xiao Mu, you can't get too close. Feeding him once or twice is fine, but you're not Xiao Mu's mother."

"Definitely next time." Miss Sakuya nodded her head in agreement. The visual effect was that she was rubbing her wooden head against her sister to act coquettishly.

"Ah..." Su Shi was helpless. She was really worried about her stupid sister who was flirting with other girls. She leaned forward and handed a new cup of hot tea to Sakuya. "Drink tea. If it's just once in a while, it's okay if you don't brush your teeth afterwards."

Miss Sakuya sat up with difficulty from under the siege of her sister and the sofa, and finished the food in one gulp without any thought for tasting it.

When the warm black tea goes down your throat, the warmth spreads throughout your body along the esophagus, bringing with it a unique sense of comfort that is unique to tea.

Maybe it's my own illusion, but it's almost time.

It's time to encourage your sister to take the next step forward.

"Sister, you just said that you have nothing to do with Xiaomu, right?" Sakuya asked in a low voice, gently gathering her bangs, which had just been blown and were still a little fluffy, with her fingers.

"Today?" Su Shi put down the teacup and asked.

"It is until now," Sakuya answered, leaning lightly on her sister's shoulders.

"You want to persuade me to forgive Xiao Mu?" The gray-blue eyes flickered up and down, and then tilted to the right shoulder.

"Almost..." Sakuya said casually with a normal look, but her fingers curling the ends of her curly hair paused noticeably. "...I want my sister to forget Crychic."

"Impossible." Su Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she answered decisively. She pushed Sakuya away angrily and said to him, "I should have told Sakuya not to bring up the topic of Crychic again."

"Even I know that troublesome things can only be put aside. They still need to be dealt with in the end." Sakuya's tone was unusually serious, and he looked into his sister's gray-blue eyes. "Aren't everyone in the band getting along well? My sister has also made new friends. Even if Crychic can't form a band, can't everyone still be good friends?"

"Of course I understand." Nagasaki Suyo lowered her eyes first, her tone unconsciously becoming tearful, like a little girl with nothing talking to her only friend. "But important things are important. Even if I know that no one cares... I still can't help but think about them."

"How warm it would be if we could all get together and perform together again..." Nagasaki Motoyo whispered to herself, tears already welling up in her eyes, which finally fell completely as she closed her eyes again.

Sakuya silently wiped her sister's tears with her sleeves, and ignored them when her sleeves were wet. She quietly sang the ballad that her mother used to sing when she was a child, and gently put her little head against her still twitching ear.

Su Shi sniffed and bit her lip, not wanting her sister to see her cowardly appearance, but she still sobbed from time to time.
