Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

She looked at the flat and round rice ball and thought it was just an ordinary rice ball, but Kitahara Takashi's technique was not good enough to make it into this shape.

Holding the rice ball in both hands, Yotsuba was stunned as she took a bite.

She discovered that there were fried dough sticks hidden in the rice?

Not only fried dough sticks, but also meat floss, ham, and pickled mustard tubers?

Yotsuba's mind was working, and her mouth chewed twice subconsciously. The next moment, Yotsuba trembled all over, and the pair of iconic ribbons on her head that looked like rabbit ears stood up directly.

Yotsuba's eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "It's delicious, Kitahara-kun, what is this?"

The soft and glutinous rice grains are wrapped in hot fried dough sticks, which are crispy and soft, with a chewy and glutinous texture, and have an excellent flavor.

Even better than rice balls.

Kitahara Takashi smiled and said, "It's delicious, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Clover nodded frantically.

"This is called a glutinous rice dumpling, also known as a steamed rice ball. It's a specialty snack from the Jiangnan region of China. It's delicious."

Kitahara Takashi really likes to eat this.

He never gets tired of steamed rice balls and multi-grain pancakes.

"Taste this."

Kitahara Takashi took off the lid of the thermos, poured the soy milk into it and handed it to her.

Yotsuba didn't refuse this time.

She held the steamed rice ball in one hand and the still steaming soy milk in the other, blew on it, and the mist drifted away with the air flow.

After drinking two sips, my body felt warm and all the sleepiness from waking up early was gone.

"Delicious."

There was a gleam in Yotsuba's eyes.

The pretty little lips are a little more moisturized.

The morning breeze blew through the woods, bringing the fragrance of new green, and the intermittent bird calls coming to my ears formed a discordant melody.

Sitting on the bench, Kitahara Takashi and Nakano Yotsuba were enjoying a delicious breakfast like an old couple.

Xiao Ha, who was squatting on the ground, was almost crying with greed.

How come you all ate it?

It hasn’t had breakfast yet!

"So full, so full."

After finishing breakfast, Siye patted her belly, looking very satisfied.

She was not so happy to eat.

"Let's run slowly." Kitahara Takashi suggested.

"it is good."

Siye diligently picked up the garbage and started jogging along the artificial lake as usual.

Before I knew it, the sun slowly rose from the horizon.

The fresh oak leaves swayed in the wind.

The two ran until seven o'clock, said goodbye to each other, and went home.

......

After taking a shower, Kitahara Takashi went out, took the train, and went to school.

On the train, Kitahara Takashi met Komi Shoko and Katsura Kotonoha again.

But this time, he was very far away from her, and he was surrounded by almost all men, so he was safe and not afraid of being accused of sexual harassment.

Holding the ring with one hand, Kitahara Takashi opened his phone and searched the pseudonym "Watanabe Takashi." A page immediately popped up: "Parents away, feeling lonely? Perfect stand-in, Watanabe Takashi, 24/7 companion."

Kitahara Tsutomu's hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.

"System, where? Please explain it to me."

Yesterday, before Shijo Shinki left, Kitahara Takashi finally found out where she placed the order.

Not only did this crappy system create a small program behind my back, it also advertised everywhere and sent harassing text messages.

Shijo Zhenfei just got excited in the middle of the night and clicked on it and placed an order.

Of course, this is understandable.

Daytime and late night are two people.

Morning: Hahahaha.

PM: Hahahaha.

Late at night: How long will it take to enter your heart?

And this website, how come it has become like a pornographic website?

The system's emotionless voice sounded: [Assistive function.]

"Your accessibility function is to send harassing text messages in the middle of the night?"

Kitahara Takashi was amused by the system's answer.

"You can only fool little idiots like Shijo Shinki, who would dare to fool a serious person?"

As soon as Kitahara Takashi finished speaking——

[Dating partner: Katsura Kotonoha]

[Event Content: Why did it turn out like this... For the first time, I found someone I like; for the first time, I made a lifelong friend. These two joyful events intertwined.

【Whether to accept? 】

——Kitahara Takashi looked at the quiet and dignified Katsura Kotonoha not far away, then looked at the system pop-up window, and he fell silent.

'Another little idiot.'

21. Give Up the Impossible (Seeking Vote)

"Good morning, Kitahara-san."

"Good morning."

"Kitahara-san looks handsome today too."

"Thank you."

Walking all the way from the school gate to the teaching building, girls wearing bows and pleated skirts would greet Kitahara Takashi from time to time.

Kitahara Takashi took the trouble to respond to each one.

When he opened the shoe cabinet to get his indoor shoes, Kitahara Takashi saw several pieces of pink letter paper.

Kitahara Takashi has long been accustomed to receiving love letters every day.

After casually stuffing the love letter into his schoolbag, Kitahara Takashi changed into indoor shoes, put his sneakers into the shoe cabinet, and closed the cabinet.

As soon as they entered the classroom, Tanaka Kota and Otani Shouta were like seeing a savior: "Zun, hurry up, lend me yesterday's math textbook."

"I want English."

Kitahara Takashi walked to his seat, opened his schoolbag and handed over the two math and English homework books, while he opened the book "Spanish 1001 Years" and sat down to read.

"How did you get into Qingye in the first place? Was it really not through the backdoor?"

Otani Shouta snatched Kitahara Takashi's math class and copied it while complaining, "I didn't expect Aoba's class to be so difficult."

"By the way, we are living in Japan, so why do we have to learn English?" Tanaka Kota also complained.

"Because English is one of the six common languages ​​of the United Nations." Kitahara Takashi turned a page and kindly gave some scientific advice.

Since his intelligence reached level 8, Kitahara Takashi discovered that his learning ability, memory, and comprehension abilities were far superior to before.

Nowadays, it is possible to do two things at once.

"I know this."

Tanaka Kota said unhappily, "I mean, I'm not going abroad in the future, so why should I learn this?"

"Isn't your dream to go to Arsenal?"

"Ah, that was my goal last semester. Now my dream is to go to Paris Saint-Germain." When mentioning his goal, Kota Tanaka suddenly became excited, and even the speed of copying homework increased by several points.

Looking away from the book, Kitahara Takashi asked curiously, "Oh, why?"

"The owner of Paris Saint-Germain wears a turban and is very generous. And they now have Mbappé, the best player in football today. He is my idol."

Kitahara Takashi almost couldn't help but say, "Who recognized it?"

Fortunately he held back.

Otani Shouta suddenly interrupted, "Are you still picking on me? You're still a substitute on the school football team, aren't you?"

Tanaka Kota's fantasy was interrupted before he even reached his climax. He said unhappily: "The coach is already considering whether to put me in the starting lineup."

"I was already a main member before you joined the starting lineup," Ohtani Shota said sarcastically.

The two have known each other since kindergarten.

Miraculously, they were assigned to the same class from elementary school all the way to college. If one of them was a girl, they would be typical childhood sweethearts, and would definitely be snatched away by a handsome guy in the future.

Unfortunately, they are a pair of men and can only be good friends.

"Isn't this the dish of our school's baseball club?" Tanaka Kota was also disdainful.

Aoba Private Academy has the highest admission rate among all high schools in Japan, but corresponding to this extremely high admission rate is a weak sports department.

In the 100 years since its founding, Aoba University has produced countless politicians, entrepreneurs, and scientists, but has never won a trophy in a national sports competition.

It's as clean as Tottenham's trophy room.

Qingye now realizes this and has tried to recruit students from other schools, but the results have been minimal.

High school students who plan to become athletes will definitely give priority to strong sports schools such as Sendai Ikuei, Yamanashi Gakuin, and Ikuei High School, and will not consider Aoba.

Ohtani Shota retorted: "No matter how bad he is, he is still a starter, unlike someone who can't even be a starter."

"What level is your baseball club compared to our football club?"

Tanaka Kota said with disdain, "Our soccer team made it to the round of 64 last time, and you didn't even make it to Koshien. What are you doing barking like a dog?"

Otani Shohei narrowed his eyes and said unkindly, "Do you want to fight?"

Tanaka Kota dropped his homework and threw down his pen: "Then let's have a samurai duel between men."

The two looked at each other, and then took out Yu-Gi-Oh cards from their backpacks at the same time.

Kitahara Takashi ignored these two strokes and focused all his attention on the book.

......

Sakakino Gakuen

When the Chinese teacher announced the end of get out of class, Class 4, Grade 1, immediately became noisy.

Katsura Yanye stood up immediately, holding the lunch box and prepared to go to the rooftop.

Ever since she met Sekai Saionji and Makoto Ito, she no longer eats in class.

Because she has no friends in this class.
