"Don't worry, don't worry." Kato Hiromi smiled, and her smile gave people a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Another round table was also set up, and everyone sat down. With so many people sitting around the huge round table, it still felt a little crowded.
But there's no way, the Kato family can't buy the giant long table that was used in Vittorio's cottage before, right?
Not to mention that the living room is too small to fit it, just assembling it takes a lot of time.
Only after Vittorio's Cabin was booked, there were enough people and time to afford such a giant long table.
Otherwise, after buying it, you have to consider whether your own warehouse is big enough.
After everyone was seated, dishes were served.
Today, the two chefs, Kazuto Hayama and Touka Takanashi, are cooking together, and every dish is a new surprise.
Chapter 2343 A Pleasant Dinner
Except for Hiromi Kato and a few others, everyone else sat around a large round table. Although it was a bit crowded, the atmosphere was still relatively relaxed.
After a brief chat and a few happy birthday wishes to Kato Megumi, everyone couldn't wait to start feasting.
Japanese people usually have dinner early, most of the time between 5:30 and 6:30, and students eat even earlier.
Most of the guests who came today were students, and many of them were so hungry that their stomachs were growling.
Although Kato Megumi prepared a lot of snacks in advance, the space for snacks in the living room is limited. If the space is far away, many people are embarrassed to walk over to get the snacks.
Once you start tasting it, you can't stop eating it.
I have to say that the cooking skills of Kazuto Hayama and Touka Takanashi are still quite good. Although the cooking time was tight today, they still completed the task with guaranteed quality and quantity.
Although everyone ate quickly, there was no situation like at some banquets where some dishes were eaten up before most people could even taste them.
Considering that there would be a large number of guests, Kato Megumi prepared an excess of ingredients when she initially purchased them.
Although some of the food on the table had been allocated to Hiromi Kato's table, the portion of each dish was still sufficient, enough to satisfy everyone at the table.
The table here was bustling with activity, but Kato Hiromi seemed a little reserved, which made people wonder whether it was a drinking table.
Because Kirisu Madoka repeatedly stated that she had early classes tomorrow morning, the few of them agreed to have a few drinks and eat while they drank, and it felt like a gathering of socialites.
Even Miyako Hoshino, who usually drank everything in one gulp, started to take small sips.
The beer that Hiromi Kato prepares at home is not that good, it can only be considered as the level of an ordinary izakaya, but the dishes on the table are much more exquisite and delicious than those in izakaya.
Because of this, several people felt that the food tonight was particularly suitable for drinking, and their appetite was aroused.
"...
At eight o'clock in the evening, the round table had almost finished work and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, while on the other side, Kato Hiromi and his companions seemed to have just begun the battle.
Although he drank slowly, he had almost finished a glass of beer in this time.
There was already a hint of tipsiness on Kato Hiromi's face. Although Kirisu Madoka drank a little less than Kato Hiromi, she was not much behind because of her poor alcohol tolerance.
On the other hand, Machida Sonoko, Kiyotaki Katsuka and Hoshino Miyako didn't feel anything yet, but the three of them were somewhat tempted.
Looking at the appearances of Hiromi Kato and Mafuyu Kirisu, Miyako Hoshino realized that her alcohol tolerance seemed to be better than that of Hiromi Kato.
Machida Sonoko and Kiyotaki Katsuka also noticed this, but they just thought that Kato Hiromi was just bragging about herself, so they indirectly belittled Hoshino Miyako.
Miyako Hoshino is an introvert, so she didn't dare to explain too much, which gave Hiromi Kato the opportunity to brag about herself.
But in fact, Hiromi Kato did not exaggerate too much this time. Even Miyako Hoshino herself felt that her alcohol tolerance was a little worse than that of Hiromi Kato.
Who would have thought that when I started to drink a little wine, I suddenly found that my alcohol tolerance seemed to have increased a lot.
After all, the way Hoshino Miyako usually drinks is too simple and crude.
Now, a different way of looking at it has revealed the true alcohol tolerance of Miyako Hoshino.
However, Hoshino Miyako didn't care about this. She changed her usual timid appearance and sat upright, eating while calling out to others: "Drink, come on and continue drinking."
Although there were only five people at the table, the noise was so loud that it even drowned out the noise from the big table here.
However, the people here were not affected at all. Those who needed to chat were chatting, and those who needed to rest were resting.
Although they were guests at Kato's house, most people maintained a relatively relaxed attitude, which was quite rare.
After dinner, Yushan Kazuto wanted to help clear the table, but someone else got there first.
Seeing Kato Megumi standing up, Yukinoshita Yukino, Nishimiya Shoko and Yuuki Asuna all stood up and offered to help.
Seeing this, Yushan Heren, who was a little slow, had to sit down again. Four people were already enough, and it would be inappropriate for him to join in.
The table was quickly cleared, but everyone still sat at it and continued chatting.
"Shall we open the cake now?" After putting the plates into the dishwasher one by one, Kato Megumi walked out of the kitchen and asked.
Although the other party's tone was indifferent, his eyes still inadvertently swept over Yushan Heren, obviously asking for Yushan Heren's opinion.
Looking at the rest of the people, it seemed that no one wanted to speak, so Yushan Heren could only sigh and said, "Let's take a break first. There's no rush now."
Everyone has just finished dinner and their stomachs are full. It would be a bit awkward to eat cake at this time.
"Wait a moment, take a break now, there's no rush anyway." Yushan Heren said.
Hearing this, the others also spoke up. Although they didn't seem to have the strength to speak, one could sense their state, which was the feeling of not wanting to move after eating and drinking to their heart's content.
Kato Keiya
He nodded and took the cake back into the room.
The cake that Kato's parents bought was relatively large. After all, with so many people to eat, a small cake would not be enough to share.
But one problem with big cakes is that some of them can’t fit in the refrigerator.
If it is placed directly in the living room, it will be difficult to preserve the taste of the cake. Besides, there are so many people in the living room, and although the air conditioner is on, the temperature is still relatively high.
It was different in the room, it was obviously much cooler, just right for storing cakes.
When she returned to the living room, Kato Megumi just happened to see Yushan Kazuto stretching, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across her face.
Yushan Heren leaned back in his chair, feeling somewhat comfortable.
That is to say, the back of this chair is a little hard. If it were replaced with a sofa, Yushan Kazuto felt that he could fall asleep directly.
Looking up, Kato's parents were chatting with Touka Takanashi.
Although they are of different age groups, they seem to have a lot of common topics. After all, Touka Takanashi has been taking care of her younger sister for some time.
Listening to the conversation between several people, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Doma Mai. Why did he feel that the experience shared by several people was just right for Doma Mai?
Chapter 2344: Taking a Walk After Dinner
Feeling the gaze of Hayama Kazuto, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but turn her head and look at Hayama Kazuto.
Although she didn't know why Yushan Kazuto was suddenly looking at her, Doma Mai instinctively felt that Yushan Kazuto must be up to something bad.
Yushan Kazuto did not expect that Domama's reaction would be so sharp.
Seeing Doma Yui's gaze, Yushan Kazuto had no choice but to turn his head away and pretend nothing had happened.
Tsuchiya could only purse her lips slightly, turned her head and continued chatting with Touma Sanae and the others.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but let out a long sigh, leaning back in his chair and looking up at the ceiling.
Usually when he came to Kato's house and saw Kato's parents, Yushan Kazuto was a little timid, always feeling like a mouse meeting a cat. But today, Yushan Kazuto was particularly relaxed, a feeling that was not common.
After chatting for a while, perhaps because it was a little late and she had to return to Chiba in the evening, Yukinoshita Yukino took the lead in giving the gift she had prepared to Kato Megumi.
The gift she gave was an autographed photo album. Kato Megumi is quite interested in the fashion circle and often buys some fashion magazines. She also often collects some peripheral products from some fashion models.
The gift given by Yukinoshita Yukino was exactly what he wanted, and it was signed by many models.
Of course, it was not difficult for Yukinoshita Yukino to get this gift. The Yukinoshita family is familiar with Kadokawa Publishing. Although fashion magazines and photo albums are not Kadokawa's main business, it also has many businesses involved.
Most fashion models still have to give Kadokawa face. Yukino Yukinoshita only mentioned it to Kadokawa Publishing and got this autographed photo album.
However, even so, Kato Megumi still feels that this is a very precious gift.
First of all, the gift given by Yukinoshita Yukino can be said to have hit the pain point in Kato Megumi's heart.
Secondly, although carefully prepared gifts may be more touching, a gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away may be worth more than the sentiment behind it, but in Kato Megumi's opinion, as long as the gift can express the other person's intentions, it will be enough.
Moreover, Yukinoshita Yukino came all the way from Chiba, so she can barely meet the definition of "a thousand miles away".
After receiving the gift, Kato Megumi thanked Yukinoshita Yukino very sincerely.
With Yukinoshita Yukino taking the lead, the others also gave the gifts they prepared to Kato Megumi. Even those who were still drinking put down their glasses temporarily and continued drinking after giving out the gifts.
Everyone's gifts were obviously carefully selected and wrapped. It can be seen that Kato Megumi is indeed quite popular.
In the room, only Yushan and others were sitting there drinking tea, and there was no movement.
After giving her gift to Kato Megumi, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly, wondering why Yushan Kazuto hadn't given her a gift yet.
Others may think that Yushan Kazuto was unprepared, but Doma Mai didn't think so. Two weeks ago, when it was Sora Ginko's birthday, Doma Mai still remembered that Yushan Kazuto gave her a gift before he left.
Although Doma Mei didn't know what Yushan Kazuto gave to Sora Ginko, she instinctively felt that the gift should not be simple.
Perhaps the gift that Sora Ginko liked most was the small gift that Yushan Kazuto gave her.
In fact, this is true. Sora Ginko actually likes every gift, but if she has to pick out one or two, they must be the software given to her by Yushan Kazuto and the painting created for her by Izumi Sagiri.
However, today, Izumi Sagiri did not draw on the spot, but instead gave Kato Megumi a setting collection.
There are many clothes designed by her in it, which is a good reference for Kato Megumi who is studying design.
Although the designs of these clothes contain many fantasy elements, their reference function is still very obvious.
Looking at Yushan Kazuto, Domama Yui couldn't help but wonder if Yushan Kazuto was planning to use the same old trick again.
Yushan Kazuto's eyes kept sweeping out the window. The birthday gift he prepared for Kato Megumi would be better when it was darker.
Kato Megumi also looked at Yushan Kazuto with some curiosity. Although Kato Megumi would not blame him even if Yushan Kazuto did not prepare a birthday present, she could not avoid feeling disappointed.
On her birthday last year, Yushan Kazuto carefully planned a whole day's itinerary for her.
This kind of thing is definitely not possible this year, after all, Kato Megumi's birthday is on Wednesday, not on the weekend.
However, if there is no preparation this year, this gap will still make Kato Megumi feel a little disappointed.
Looking at each other's eyes, Yushan Heren blinked at each other.
Although no one spoke, the eye contact made Kato Megumi immediately understand that Yushan Kazuto was trying to put her at ease.
Looking at the look in Yushan Kazuto's eyes, Kato Megumi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If Yushan Kazuto really had no preparation, even the good-tempered Kato Megumi might have been angry.
Yushan Kazuto looked out the window again and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
In the summer, it gets dark especially slowly. Even though it is still the tail end of summer, the weather is very good today, which also causes it to get dark more slowly.
Everyone chatted for a while and felt that it was about time. Yushan Heren said, "We are a little full from dinner. How about taking a walk by the river?"
"Take a walk?" Hearing this, Kato Hui couldn't help
She blinked slightly. In her impression, Yushan Kazuto didn't have the habit of taking walks.
Indeed, Yushanheren already has enough exercise in a day. There is no need for him to do morning exercises, training in the afternoon, and going out for a walk in the evening.
However, thinking of the look that Yushan Kazuto had given her before, Kato Megumi suddenly had some associations.
[Could it be that the gifts prepared by the elementary school students are by the river? ]
"Sure! My stomach is a little full." Kato Megumi agreed.
The others were still a little surprised as to why Yushan Kazuto would so abruptly suggest going for a walk by the river, but when they saw that Kato Megumi had already agreed, they had nothing to say.
After dinner, taking a short walk is actually not bad, but the walking line is perhaps a little too long.
However, no one cared about these things. Seeing Yushan Kazuto and Kato Megumi standing up, they also stood up.
"You guys go ahead. We two won't get involved." Seeing that Kato's father was about to get up, Kato's mother held him down, then looked at the rest of the people and spoke.
Chapter 2345: What is that over there?
Kato's house is not too far from the river, only a few hundred meters away. In other words, as long as you live in Tokyo, you will definitely not be too far from the river.
There are a total of 107 first- and second-level rivers flowing through the entire Tokyo metropolis, of which 46 flow through the 23 wards of Tokyo.
Although the river near the Kato family and Shinmachi Apartment is not a major river like the Tama River or the Edogawa River, the flow of this river is not small.
