The peaceful daily life of the heroine in the other world

"Hehe, you finally asked the right person!"

"...If I don't ask you about your favorite store, who else can I ask?"

The two walked along the street and came to a dessert shop. Kana Nakamura struck while the iron was hot and immediately introduced it:

"No. 19 Ichibangai, Xiluolu's Sweetheart Paradise! This area's signature dessert shop, many girls come here for dessert after school! The food is well-made and the flavors are exquisite. Whether you're a dessert lover or just an average person, you'll definitely be full of praise after trying it once!"

Through the glass wall, you can see many cakes and pastries. Even before entering the store, the exquisite pastries that look like works of art have already caught the girl's attention.

The aroma of baked eggs and the delicate sweetness that is so refreshing, the pink decorations and the temptation of the creamy sweets... No girl can resist such a place.

Not to mention, Miss Amamiya's meal expenses are all kept within 500 yen.

In her previous life, she was a chubby girl who loved all kinds of desserts and snacks. She has never eaten a proper dessert in this life. How can she accept such a thing!

".....Um."

A light flickered in Amamiya's previously calm eyes, and her icy expression was slightly moved. She subconsciously swallowed her saliva, but then she glanced at the price tag, which started at 1,000 yuan, and thought of her pitiful wallet...

The white-haired girl next to her keenly noticed her feelings and immediately shouted:

"——It's my treat! Xiao Yumiya, please order whatever you want!!"

The sound passed by my ears.

Is this a meal ticket?

...No.

It's an angel!

"Ahem, this... is indeed a very tempting place."

Thinking of the sweet and delicious pudding and cake, Miss Amamiya's breathing became a little rapid, but thinking that most of the people in this kind of place were girls, she restrained herself for a moment, "How about introducing something else first? Desserts are not suitable as a main meal..."

"Don't worry, let's go in and take a look! A lot of the things here are limited edition, so if you come too late they may not be available!"

As she said that, Kana Nakamura pulled Miss Amemiya inside.

"Welcome! Xiluolu's sweet paradise wishes you a sweet afternoon!"

The automatic glass door opens automatically when it senses someone, and the older sister clerk next to the store with a standard business smile says a welcome speech to welcome the customers.

Amemiya nodded in response and then looked around the store.

Soft warm lights shine on the counter filled with various desserts. The surrounding walls are decorated with exquisite candy flowers and cute little dessert models, frosting-covered cups and colorfully decorated cones. Promotional posters of various desserts and colorful lights are hung on the ceiling.

With light music as the background, chatting and laughter, and the aroma of cream, chocolate and fresh fruit, it is refreshing.

The store is mostly populated by middle and high school students, as well as some adult women. They are cute and suit the tastes of most girls.

They clearly know that their target audience is young women. Even Miss Amamiya has no resistance to such cute decorations. Even if a boy comes in, he will probably feel a little embarrassed when he sees this very bright pink girlish style...

However, in less than five seconds, Amamiya Yi took back her words.

Because there were two acquaintances sitting at the table at the door.

"Great classmate for chatting! And..."

"Ando-sensei?!!"

Facing the white-haired girl's shocked expression, the old bald man, displaying his old man's calm demeanor, nodded slightly, took a sip of red tea, and said calmly, "It seems that girls nowadays really like to come to places like this."

"Why are you here?!"

"This store is opened by my granddaughter, why can't I be here?" Ando Masakuni immediately asked back.

"Okay." The white-haired loli apologized for disturbing you.

At the same time, the pink-haired loli sitting opposite Ando Masakuni also stared at the person who came, and her face was full of disbelief for a moment, "Xiao Yi?!"

"Good afternoon, Airi-chan." Miss Amamiya responded with forced calmness.

"Why are you with this guy?!"

"...To put it simply, she said she wanted to treat me, so I came."

Uezawa Airi showed a look of surprise as if she had been betrayed: "But that's not what you said when I invited you to go shopping yesterday morning! Don't you love me anymore?!"

“…”

Amamiya Yi vaguely saw the Yakuza Chijin storming off and then sinking herself into Tokyo Bay, but she still explained calmly:

"Yesterday, Nakamura-san made a bet with me that the loser would treat the winner to a meal. Right now, she's just fulfilling her bet."

"but...."

"Wakaka! Your invitation was rejected, but mine was easily accepted. Isn't that obvious enough?!"

Nakamura Kana confidently hugged Miss Amamiya's waist from behind, tilting her head and taunting her slightly, "It seems that today's chatty classmate lost more than just tennis! Hehehehe!!"

"Ah!! I'll fight you..."

"Snapped."

The expressionless old man put down the cup, and the crisp sound of glass colliding made Airi Uezawa stiffen all over.

"I think you should first work on that math homework you owe."

"Goo!"

The math teacher's pressure is so strong! It's like seeing the minister in his old age!

Miss Amamiya also took a step back, bowed slightly without any flaws, and said in a gentle tone, "Good afternoon, Mr. Ando."

"Well, good afternoon, Amamiya-san."

The old man, who had been as solid as a rock just now, gave a faint smile to the elegant girl.

“Bad, differential treatment!!”

The two lolis next to them looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

You're not really that hungry, are you?

.....

ps: Maybe I can finish the next chapter in the early morning?

They are also the second week: Chapter 74 Hidden Things

Ando Masakuni is a person who is a bit cold in daily life.

An old man over 50 years old is said to have been working as a mathematics teacher here since the day Yundong Private High School was founded. As an experienced teacher, he is usually strict with students.

He was meticulous when dealing with students. No matter who they were, or whether they came from a prominent or poor family, he treated everyone equally and seriously. Students rarely saw a smile on this old man's face.

He wasn't really old yet, but he was already bald with no hair.

He is neither humorous nor witty, and looks rather stern. Guangmingding, Ludan, and Lightbulb are all nicknames given to him by his students.

In fact, he was abandoned by his parents at birth and grew up alone in an orphanage and on the streets. He is a typical Showa boy.

He has been a serious person since middle school.

But surprisingly, there was a serious girl who admired him in high school.

They fell in love soon after they met each other, got married early, had children at the age of 20, and now have a granddaughter.

His granddaughter works in the dessert shop outside the school where he works, and has inherited the deceased owner's legacy, making the shop even more popular than he remembered, and it has become a dreamy and gradually unfamiliar place.

He had often come to this shop in the past, even before it was called that name.

Although he comes here often, Ando Masakuni actually doesn't like to eat too sweet things. He is mostly pushed here by his students.

At that time, he was only in his thirties.

His wife passed away suddenly in the spring of 1999, and he lived in a daze since then, turning his emotions into negative energy. He demanded strictness from his students and poured out cold words to them.

But it was also in that year that there was a black-haired girl who could still smile frankly and sincerely even when facing the sour face of a mean and prematurely balding middle-aged man like herself, and even made some inappropriate dirty jokes on herself.

He didn't want to laugh, nor was he in the mood to laugh. His wife's shadow enveloped everything around him, casting a hazy black on the world and making him lose the last bond he had in this world, besides his children.

However, another incredibly beautiful girl laughed in a tasteless manner, and then started telling some jokes and memes from some comic strip.

Those two people were very annoying. Every time after class, they would smile innocently and make jokes that didn't match their appearance.

Day after day, he gradually became able to talk to those two girls who always wanted to tease him and had no respect for seniority.

Later I found out that they had made a bet. The one who could make him laugh first would win, and the loser would have to treat the winner to dinner for the rest of his life.

Ando Masakuni still clearly remembers that he was upset when he found out the truth, and was very annoyed at the two of them for joking with him.

But later, they apologized to themselves.

Then, one afternoon after school, I took myself to a store I had never been to before.

The owner is an old lady who sells handmade snacks.

Some are very sticky, some are very sweet, and he doesn't like them.

But the girl said that sweetness is always better than bitterness. Things that make people feel sweet are always good and are the taste of happiness.

Sometimes when you feel sad, eat something sweet and let your mouth share some of the sadness, and maybe you will feel better.

Finding sweetness in bitterness and tasting bitterness in sweetness, maybe this is the taste of life. Life is like a box of chocolates...hiss!

She bit her tongue in the middle of her words and it hurt so much that she stuck it out. Another girl laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe and ended up falling over her chair.

Maybe he was amused by a little girl of sixteen or seventeen saying the word "life", or maybe he was tickled by the sight of two girls biting their tongues and wrestling.

In the end, everyone couldn't help laughing.

The two argued for a long time about who made him laugh, but in the end they found that there was no answer.

"Mr. Ando, ​​you should smile more often. You'll look more comfortable, and your classmates will like you more."

After the innocent girl finished speaking, the particularly pretty girl next to her also said with a smile, "Teacher, you are not good-looking to begin with, and if you look so sad, no one will look at you anymore."

"When I was young..."

Before I knew it, I had become a regular customer of this store.

The black tea was so sweet that it was cloyingly sweet, with an unknown amount of honey added to it.

When you feel bitter in your heart, drink it.

Before I knew it, they graduated and went to places I couldn't see, but I could still contact them by phone sometimes.

But in the end, no one answered the phone call from that very beautiful girl.

Only then did he realize that she had also died in the spring.

The same day with my wife.

Just today.

........

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ando."

A familiar face, just a different expression.

The black tea in my mouth is no longer as sweet as it used to be, the walls around me are no longer gray, the air no longer has the smell of strawberry daifuku, three-color dumplings and mizu shingen mochi, and all that remains is the fragrance of cake and cream.

For a moment, the old man thought of many things, and finally smiled slightly and said the words he had said countless times in his memory.

"Good afternoon, Amamiya-san."

"Um..."

Yu Gongyi looked at the unexpectedly kind smile on the old bald man's face, and felt that the oppressive feeling on him seemed to be much less, so she spoke in a suggestion-like manner.

"Mr. Ando, ​​you should smile more."

"Classmates, you should be more welcome."

"Hehehe... no need."

Ando Masakuni shook his head.

"I've laughed enough."

"Today is the day of hardship."
