Tokyo Soft Rice King

"Okay, I'll take this as the truth this time, teacher. I don't really want you to be suspended, so I hope you can get along well from now on. Let's shake hands in peace."

"Tsk..."

Sumitomo Ryota didn't hide his dissatisfaction at all.

He still hated Hei Yuming very much, mostly out of jealousy.

Although he has decided to give up on Asato Hitomi, he doesn't want to see Kuroba Akira dating Asato Hitomi.

How could I fix this! It would be best if you were dumped too! That way we'd be the same! It wouldn't be impossible to treat you to ramen then...

Hei Yuming didn't care. It would be better to say that he really wanted to shake hands.

Because you can see if he has talent.

So Kuroba Akira took the initiative to extend his hand, which greatly moved Kobayakawa Motoko. It turned out that Kuroba Akira was not a bad student. He must have been forced to fight back!

Sumitomo Ryouta also shook hands reluctantly.

Hei Yuming also took the opportunity to see the words on his right hand.

Boxing A

Good man...it seems he hasn't discovered his talent yet.

If he practices this, wouldn't his face be beaten to pieces?

I hope you don’t hold a grudge, Sumitomo Ryota, let’s be good friends!

I promise I won't hit you in the face again!

Chapter 48 Oh, this soft rice is so delicious!

Although Kuroba Akira and Sumitomo Ryota reached a settlement with the mediation of Kobayakawa Motoko, the aftermath of the incident still spread among the students.

It only took one noon for Hei Yuming to return to the state of isolation, but his title changed from "the silent person who is difficult to get along with" to "the ruthless person who should not be provoked".

This is not surprising. It was the same in his previous school days. There was a classmate in the class who was moody and liked to fight. Other students would choose to avoid that classmate as much as possible. Who knew if they would be the next one to be beaten?

Only Fuji Michio is still willing to talk to Kuroba Akira, perhaps because he does not belong to the live-action circle or other small groups.

Kuroba Akira didn't care at all about what these students thought of him. He just hoped that the yellow-haired brothers wouldn't bother him again. He hoped that Sumitomo Ryota could persuade his friends not to launch a "revenge" action... Otherwise, he would be happy to give everyone a "Personality Correction Punch".

Moreover, for Hei Yuming, this incident actually brought him some other benefits, that is, the teachers no longer bothered him during the afternoon classes.

Probably after witnessing Kuroba Akira beating Sumitomo Ryota in the office, the teachers of various subjects realized that Kuroba Akira was still a tough guy and stopped provoking him.

So, it returned to the original situation where Kobayakawa Motoko "only loved" Kuroba Akira.

Of course, there is also Hitomi Asato who always stands on the side of Kuroba Akira.

Because he didn't get to eat his lunch box, Hei Yuming's stomach was growling with hunger. He finally endured until school was over, and Anri Hitomi came to Hei Yuming again on time.

"Kuroba-kun, it's time for clubbing."

"oh oh……"

Hei Yuming responded listlessly. He was still regretting that he didn't have the class monitor's lunch box, and the class monitor should have gone to the arts club to share the lunch box with other members.

Now when the squad leader comes to look for Hei Yuming again, no one will come to cause trouble. Hei Yuming stealthily glanced sideways in the direction of Sumitomo Ryota and found that he was also looking in this direction.

The two looked at each other awkwardly. Hei Yuming was still wondering if he would have another attack, but he didn't expect that he just gave Hei Yuming the middle finger, then stood up and greeted other friends, discussing with them where to go to have fun after class today, and left the classroom talking and laughing.

This guy... is he just giving up like that?

Young man, your loyalty as a licker is not good enough...

However, whether the dog gets nothing or everything in the end depends entirely on the mood of the owner, so giving up like this can be an opportunity to "start a new life".

In short, it’s not bad to end like this. It’s one less trouble. Starting tomorrow, I can eat the lunch box brought by the squad leader openly.

Thinking of this, Kuroba Akira also stood up and said goodbye to Fujiyoshi Michio who was still packing his textbooks behind him.

"See you tomorrow then, Fujiyoshi-kun. Thank you for still talking to me."

"Ah...yeah! See you tomorrow!"

For some reason, Kuroba Akira read a hint of admiration in Fuji Michio's eyes... Is he the type who respects the strong?

You have the potential to be a younger brother, but unfortunately I haven't been a big brother for many years, and my dream is not to dominate the country, but to live off others.

"Let's go, squad leader."

"Well, bye, Touki-kun."

Asato Hitomi nodded, then said goodbye to Fuji Michio with the same smile.

"Yes, yes! Have a safe trip!"

Well...it seems he just respects everyone.

After leaving the classroom with Asato Hitomi, she pointed in the opposite direction of the stairs and said.

"Kuroba-kun, let's go to the home economics classroom first. We can borrow the microwave there. I've already told the home economics teacher."

"what?"

Seeing that Kuroba Ming hadn't reacted yet, Anri Hitomi asked back with a mischievous smile.

"Bento, aren't you going to eat?"

"Are there any lunch boxes left?"

"There's nothing left. I actually didn't go to the Arts Club to share it with anyone else."

Then Anri Hitomi secretly observed her surroundings and found that most of the students were walking towards the stairs with their backs to them. She leaned close to Kuroba Ming's ear and whispered something.

"Because this lunchbox is made just for you. I hid it in the home economics classroom."

"Oh!"

Great! I still have food to eat!

I don’t have to go home and eat the hell curry rice made by the old lady today, yeah!

"Then let's go!"

Kuroba Akira quickened his pace excitedly, and Asato Hitomi also quickly followed and responded with a smile.

"Really? There's no need to be so anxious."

The two of them came to the home economics classroom together, and the three-layer bento made by Hitomi Asato was placed intact in the cupboard of the home economics classroom.

While waiting for the lunch box to be heated up, Hei Yuming felt like he was about to turn into a hungry ghost.

Finally...finally!

Finally I can eat food other than curry and hot pot!

After the lunch box was heated up, Hei Yuming couldn't contain his excitement and opened it as if it were a treasure.

The moment he opened it, he seemed to see the exaggerated flashing special effects in a food animation.

One layer of the three-layer bento is rice, but the rice is squeezed into four small rice balls that are easy to eat, sprinkled with sesame seaweed, and decorated with small flowers made of thick omelet rolled in ham, and perilla leaves are placed underneath.

The other two layers are one meat and one vegetable. The meat box contains fried shrimp tempura, karaage chicken nuggets, thick teriyaki beef slices, even crab legs, and a boiled egg split in half. Half of the vegetable box is a cold salad of various vegetables, divided in the middle by lotus root slices, and the other side is filled with small strawberries and apples shaped like rabbits, with a main focus on a balance of sweet and sour.

It is obvious that the squad leader carefully considered the combination of meat and vegetables and the nutritional balance, and carefully prepared this lunch box.

Is this the level 2 cooking skill? This old lady is way better than me!

Fortunately, the class monitor did not open the lunch box at that time, because it was indeed not meant to be shared among multiple people. Although it looked like a lot, for a growing boy, this amount should be enough to eat it all, and it would be just enough to make him feel very full.

Hei Yuming was so moved that he almost cried.

Squad leader, I will always respect your teeth!

However, you still have to put your hands together before eating. This is a habit of Japanese people, and Hei Yuming has also developed this habit.

Anri Hitomi handed over her chopsticks and said with a smile.

"Please enjoy it."

"Then I'll start!"

Hei Yuming began to eat with relish. The squad leader looked at him wolfing down the food and took out a white thermos cup.

"Eat slowly, Kuroba-kun, don't choke. I also made miso soup, which is warm now, so it won't burn your mouth."

"oh oh!"

Hei Yuming's mouth was full of food. Although he wanted to taste it carefully, the gluttony in his stomach did not allow him to put down his chopsticks.

And the taste... is simply impeccable!

The saltiness is just right, the flavors are rich, and the ingredients are fresh. These points alone are enough to give this bento a score of 95.

The most important thing is, this lunch box is free! I got it from prostitution!

It feels so good to eat free stuff!

Hey~ soft rice tastes so good!

Chapter 49: Mom won’t let me play with them

Asato Hitomi said as she filled a cup of miso soup for Kuroba Akira.

"Because you said you don't like seafood, Kuroba-kun, I didn't use kelp and bonito flakes. Instead, I used dried shiitake mushrooms. I've tasted it myself, and it might lack the umami flavor... I don't know if it suits your taste."

Hei Yuming took it and took a sip, and his eyes lit up.

I originally thought that Japanese people would have a lighter palate, so the miso soup would also taste bland, but I didn’t expect it to be quite flavorful... I should say, it’s pretty good!

That's great! That's great!

When Cantonese people come here, they will say "this soup is delicious"!

“Delicious!”

"As long as you are satisfied..."

Anri Hitomi was very happy when she saw Hei Yuming eating happily. It felt like getting up at 4:30 to make the lunch box was worth it.

However, the melancholy in her heart still prevented her from smiling comfortably, and in the end she couldn't help but apologize to Hei Yuming.

"I'm sorry, Kuroba-kun..."

"Hmm?"

Because his mouth was still stuffed with food, Hei Yuming didn't say the rest of the sentence, but his meaning was conveyed, which was to express "Why do you want to apologize, squad leader?"

"I know that bringing you a lunch box in class will cause misunderstandings, but I still did it. However, I didn't mean to plot against you, nor did I think that you and Sumitomo-kun would have a head-on conflict..."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Hei Yuming slowed down his eating and spoke while holding up his chopsticks.

"When I saw you stand up and speak for me, squad leader, I already knew you weren't trying to use me as a shield. You were probably trying to use this opportunity to distance yourself from Sumitomo Ryouta's live-action circle."

In the past, it was common to see Anri Hitomi "caught up" in the busiest area in the middle of the class, but she must have been tired of dealing with this kind of superficial social interaction among the real people.

Simply put, the squad leader just can't play with them.

By revealing Kuroba Ming's identity as a member of the Arts Club, she also wanted to tell the other students in the class that her social focus would be on the Arts Club.

Unlike Tuanzi who wants to take care of both the class and the club, the class monitor is obviously inclined towards the arts club. After all, she herself said that the arts club is her only breathing space, and it is so important that she will do her best to protect it.

Anri Hitomi nodded silently. Being understood by Kuroba Akira made her feel relieved and at ease.

They had only known each other for two days, but he understood her so well. This made Anri Hitomi even more certain that Kuroba Ming and she had similar ideas.

"You're right, but Sumitomo-kun's reaction was beyond my expectations..."

"I didn't expect that he cared about you so much?"

"……Um."

With Anri Hitomi's social skills, she must know that Sumitomo Ryota likes her, but what she didn't expect was that Sumitomo Ryota actually ignored the eyes of the people around him and came to her on the spot.

What she had anticipated was that Sumitomo Ryota would secretly cause trouble for Kuroba Akira. At that time, as long as she stayed with Kuroba Akira, Sumitomo Ryota would most likely not get angry.
