When I got home, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
The store that Doma Mai introduced was very big, and the things inside were so dazzling that I spent a long time shopping there without realizing it.
Plus, it took a lot of time to find Daniel Smith's pigments, and the combination of the two made it so late.
"Eri, Sagiri, the paint you requested."
It was Eriri who opened the door. She looked at Yushan Kazuto and couldn't help but blink: "How inefficient!"
"There's no way. Daniel Smith is hard to find." Yushanhe spread his hands and said helplessly.
Looking at the paints that Yushan Kazuto was carrying, Eriri couldn't help but blink: "You... why did you buy so much?"
"I don't know what kind of black and white paint you want, so I just bought one of each."
Yushan Kazuto said, his tone quite relaxed.
It sounds like I don't know what color lipstick you like, so I bought one of each color.
Ying Lili took the paint and blushed slightly. In fact, the most needed colors were only pearl white and matte black, both of which were relatively basic colors in color mixing.
"No need to buy so many...you might as well buy a few primary colors of paint, red, yellow, and blue, with the extra ones." Ying Lili said, blinking.
The three primary colors of paint, red, yellow, and blue, were also used up very quickly, but Ying Lili bought a lot of these three colors, so there is no shortage of them for the time being.
Yushan Kazuto sighed: "You didn't say that before."
Chapter 546 Study Group Candidates
"By the way, Umaru-chan, is Ohira back?"
Walking out of Izumi Sagiri's room, Hayama Kazuto suddenly said.
Doma Ohira said before that he would be back on Wednesday, so he should be home by now.
"My brother has returned to Tokyo, but he's still in the company." Tsuchima blinked and said.
Doma Ohira is a bit of a workaholic. As soon as he returned from a business trip, he immediately threw himself into his enthusiastic work.
"Then haven't you replaced the kotatsu in your house yet?" Yushan Kazuto asked with a blink.
"My brother said that he can take a day off tomorrow and change tomorrow." Tsuchima pouted and said.
Although Doma Ohira said this, Doma Yui was a little doubtful whether he could have the time to relax.
"It seems that you can't go back at least tonight." Yushan Heren said.
Doma Mei looked at Hayama Kazuto and nodded slightly.
Although there is air conditioning at home, the hot air effect is not good. In the absence of a kotatsu, I can only rely on my own energy to keep warm.
"Brother Kazuto." Seeing Kazuto Yuyama coming out, Shirosaki Hana suddenly ran over, as if she had something to say.
"Xiaohua, is there anything wrong?" Yushan Kazuto turned his head and looked at Shirasaki Hana.
"That is...can Mio and Ayano also join the study session this weekend?" Shirosaki Hana asked carefully.
Yushan Kazuto raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
[Two of the three lolita girls? From what I remember, Mizukoshi Mio's grades were a bit bad.]
"I don't mind, but are they willing to come over?" Yushan Kazuto lowered his head and looked at Shirasaki Hana.
"Mio asked Ayano for extra lessons, and then I told Brother Kazuto that you were going to have a study session this weekend, so they asked me if they could come to the study session together."
Since the other party took the initiative to ask for it, Yushan Heren was not worried: "But you have to tell them that this study session will last a whole day, which will be more tiring."
"They know." Baisakihua grinned and said with a smile.
Yushan Kazuto nodded and suddenly thought of something. He remembered that Shirosaki Hana seemed to have said that she wanted to meet Tama's friends in December.
Although Shirasaki Haruka should be returning to her country during the winter vacation, Shirasaki Hana will also follow her back to Tama.
However, the current study session seems to be an opportunity for these children to study together and fill in each other's gaps.
"Um? Do you want Hinata and Noa to take over as well and have a study session together?"
"Okay, okay!" Baisakihua was overjoyed.
"When I was in Tama, I often studied with Hinata and Noa before the exams!"
Despite this, when they were in Tama, the study sessions of the three of them were more like dessert parties. They would go to eat after studying for only a few minutes, so Shirasaki Hana's grades were always a bit worrying.
"Then you should ask them first." Yushan Heren said.
"Okay! I'll contact Hinata and Noa right away." Shirasaki Hana ran back to the room.
Doma Mai suddenly remembered something and looked at Hayama Kazuto: "Kazuto-senpai, do you want to invite Asuna as well?"
Yushan Kazuto looked at Tsuchima Yui, a little confused: "Why did you call Asuna?"
"I remember that during the mid-term study session, Asuna seemed quite envious." Doma Mai blinked and said.
Yushan Kazuto recalled it and it seemed that this was indeed the case, but Yuuki Asuna was currently on leave from school, so it seemed a bit redundant to invite her to the study session.
After thinking for a while, Yushan and Rencai said, "I'll ask Asuna's opinion later. If she's willing to come, I'll pick her up."
"Yeah." Tsuchimiya nodded.
Yushan Kazuto is going to visit Yuuki Asuna tonight. When he goes there, he can ask for Yuuki Asuna's opinion.
"But in this case, there are a little too many people."
After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren suddenly realized that the number of participants in this study session seemed to be a little too large, perhaps more than double that of the midterm exam.
Doma Mai recalled that there were only seven people in the mid-term study session. In comparison, the number of people in this study session was indeed a little more.
"Forget it, a little more is a little more."
Yushan Kazuto shrugged. Most of the people who came here didn't need much guidance anyway, and with top students like Shinomiya Kaguya joining them, it wouldn't be much tiring to guide them. The most difficult thing would be cooking.
Looking around, Yushan Kazuto noticed Toumori Sanae sitting on the sofa and suddenly called out, "Sanae!"
Toumori Sanae turned her head and looked at Yushan Kazuto with some confusion: "What's the matter?"
"Should we call Rikka over for the study session? I remember she's a bit of a troublemaker!" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Rikka Takanashi's performance is a bit disappointing. Even though Touka Takanashi is not a talkative person, Kazuto Yuyama has heard her mention it several times.
It is conceivable how bad Rikka Takanashi's performance is.
In comparison, although Sanae Touma has a chuunibyou syndrome like Rikka Takanashi, her grades are much better and there is almost no need for others to worry about her. She is not much worse than the recognized top student Mei Doma.
Not to mention, Toumori Sanae was a grade-skipping student.
"I'll go ask Rikka." Toumori Sanae said after thinking for a while.
In fact, she didn't really want Rikka Takanashi to attend the study session.
I'm stingy, but Rikka Takanashi's chuuniburi attitude knows no time or place!
Although Rikka Takanashi and Hana Shirasaki have met several times without any illness, if she is not careful just once, the image of an older sister that she has worked so hard to build in front of Hana Shirasaki will collapse.
However, since Kazuto Hayama mentioned it, Sanae Toumori decided to ask Rikka Takanashi and warn her at the same time, asking her to use the Evil King's True Eye to temporarily seal her chuunibyou.
"Brother Kazuto, Hinata and Noa agreed! She asked me when you will pick them up?" Shirosaki Hana ran out of the room and said excitedly.
"Well, let's decide on Friday." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile. Before Friday, Yushan Kazuto didn't know if he would have any unexpected events over the weekend.
"Okay." Shirosaki Hana nodded and ran back to the room. It seemed that she was going to reply to messages from Hoshino Hinata and Himesaka Noa.
"Herma-chan, Rikka's foundation may be relatively weak. You and she are classmates, so teach her more during tutoring." Yushan Kazuto said.
Doma nodded, agreeing to Yushan Kazuto's request, but when she saw Touma Sanae sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but ask:
"Sanae and Rikka are desk mates, so it should be easier for Sanae to guide Rikka."
"As for Sanae...it's good enough that she doesn't cause trouble. Don't expect her to guide Rikka." Yushan Kazuto looked at Toumori Sanae and said bluntly.
Chapter 547 I am willing to participate!
In fact, what Yushan Heren said was not groundless.
Toumori Sanae and Takanashi Rikka have been sitting at the same table for a semester, but Takanashi Rikka's grades haven't improved at all, and are even getting worse.
After all, when two chuunibyou get together and chat, they definitely don’t talk about studying.
Although Yushan Kazuto didn't see it with his own eyes, he could tell from his imagination that the topics of their conversation were nothing more than the invisible boundary, the Dark Scripture, and world peace.
In short, the topic of studying should be a taboo in their conversations. Once it is revealed, there will be a bloody storm.
"You, you look down on people!" Hearing the comments made by Yushan Kazuto, Toumori Sanae suddenly felt unhappy.
Yushanheren spread his hands. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Toumori Sanae gritted her teeth. Even though she didn't want to admit it, what Yushan Kazuto said was the ironclad fact.
After the two of them sat together, Toumori Sanae's grades were hardly affected, and she has always been a strong contender for the top spot in the school.
Rikka Takanashi's grades have dropped from over 100 in the initial academic year to over 200. At this rate, she may be in the top ten at the end of the semester.
Seeing that Toumori Sanae stopped talking, Yushan Kazuto didn't say anything else, but walked into the kitchen.
It’s getting late, time to prepare dinner.
……
"Good evening, Asuna."
The door opened and Yushan and others walked into the room.
The room is still kept as it was, clean and tidy, and Yuuki Asuna cleans it every day.
"Senior Kazuto, please have some tea."
The tea that was served was no longer hot. It was obvious that Yuuki Asuna had already prepared it in advance before Yushan Kazuto came over.
"It tastes good, Asuna. Your tea-making skills are getting better and better." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Brewing tea actually requires a lot of skill. Tea brewed with water at different temperatures will have different flavors.
"Senior Kazuto, you're too kind." Asuna Yuuki shook her head and added more boiling water to Kazuto Hayama.
This time, when I drank the tea, it had a different flavor. If the previous taste could be described as refreshing, then after adding boiling water again, it would be best described as dense.
After adding hot water to Kazuto Yuyama, Asuna Yuuki poured herself a cup of tea, knelt down opposite Kazuto Yuyama, and savored it carefully.
After drinking tea, Yuuki Asuna asked, "Senior Kazuto, what are you doing here this time?"
It's not the fixed supply time today, and there are still enough ingredients in the refrigerator. Yuyama Kazuto came over suddenly, which made Yuuki Asuna surprised, but also a little worried.
After all, Yuuki Asuna was a thoughtful person, and it was easy for her to think of many things. But unfortunately, all the things she guessed - did not happen.
"It's nothing big, actually. I just made some candied chestnut balls, and I made a little too much, so I'll give you some to try." Yushan Heren said with a smile, taking out a food box.
"Candied chestnut balls?"
Asuna Yuuki has heard of a dessert called chestnut balls, which are made with cooked chestnuts, cream, rum, sugar, cocoa powder, almonds, hazelnuts, and white sesame seeds. It tastes a bit greasy and she doesn't like it very much.
As for the candied chestnut balls, Yuuki Asuna had never heard of them.
"You'll know if you open it and taste it." Yushan Heren said.
Yuuki Asuna nodded and opened the lunch box, only to see pieces of biscuits. She raised her head and looked at Yushan Kazuto with some doubt.
"This is a caramel almond cookie, given to me by a classmate. It's a little extra, so I brought some for you to try." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
"The little candied chestnut balls, right under the cookies."
After uncovering the caramel almond biscuits, Yuuki Asuna saw the small candied chestnut balls under the food box.
It is completely different from the preparation of chestnut balls, which are made by mixing crushed chestnuts with other ingredients and then shaping them into balls.
The candied chestnut balls are made from whole chestnuts.
In terms of appearance, the sugar chestnut balls are more like sugar-roasted chestnuts, but the taste of the sugar chestnut balls is far from that of sugar-roasted chestnuts. The taste is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it has more layers than sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Compared with chestnut balls, the integrity and flavor of sugar chestnut balls are more in line with Yuuki Asuna's preferences. They are sweet but not greasy, and have a bit of chewiness in the mouth.
Asuna Yuuki just tried one and was captivated by the taste of the candied chestnut balls.
"Senior Kazuto, please eat with us." Asuna Yuuki pushed the lunch box next to Kazuto Hayama.
"No need, I have a lot at home." Yushan Heren smiled and shook his head.
