"Sagiri, Sagiri?" The voice of Yushan Kazuto came from outside the door. Izumi Sagiri sat up and felt a little strange. Why did she fall asleep?
"Brother Kazuto, is there anything wrong?" asked Sagiri Izumi.
"It's time for lunch, time to go out and eat." Yushan and others arrived.
Izumi Sagiri nodded and followed Hayama Kazuto down the stairs. When Shirasaki Haruka saw Izumi Sagiri, there was some surprise in her eyes.
Although Izumi Sagiri has developed the habit of eating with everyone since Hayama Kazuto came once, this is the first time that Shirasaki Haruka has seen Izumi Sagiri with such a natural expression.
"Kazuto, thank you for your hard work." Shirasaki Haruka couldn't help but say.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "I just went upstairs to call Sagiri for dinner. How can it be so hard?"
Shirasaki Haruka shook her head, smiled and said nothing, and sat aside. In her opinion, it must have taken a lot of effort for Yushan Kazuto to make such a big change in Izumi Sagiri.
If Yushan Kazuto knew what Shirasaki Haruka was thinking, he would probably find it a bit strange. He was only providing Izumi Sagiri with three meals a day and finding a few friends for her. To say that he put much thought into it, he really didn't.
Izumi Sagiri walked to her seat and started eating with her head down.
Although she has been in Southeast Asia for a few months, Haruka Shirasaki's cooking skills have not deteriorated at all and the taste is still the same.
But Sagiri Izumi felt a little strange. She used to like the taste of Haruka Shirasaki's cooking, but now when she eats it, it always feels like something is not right.
Soon, Izumi Sagiri realized that it was not that Haruka Shirasaki’s cooking was not delicious, but that she was not used to it.
Izumi Sagiri has long been accustomed to the Chinese taste of Hayama Kazuto, while Shirasaki Haruka cooks very authentic Japanese food, so it may take some time for her to adapt.
"I'm done eating."
After dinner, Izumi Sagiri took the initiative to put away her plate and put it in the kitchen.
This also surprised Shirasaki Haruka, because in the past, Izumi Sagiri never cleaned up after meals and left the empty plates on the table.
Shirasaki Haruka looked at Hayama Kazuto meaningfully, and Hayama Kazuto couldn't help but blink, not quite understanding why Shirasaki Haruka suddenly looked at him.
After lunch, Yushan Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana continued to tidy up.
Shirasaki Hana had a lot of luggage, and most of them were small things, such as Hu Zilang's peripherals, dolls from claw machines, and so on.
Although such luggage is easy to carry, it is extremely troublesome to organize.
The room was filled with Hu Zilang's paintings, and on the table in the corner, there was a small mountain of dolls.
Hayama
It took a lot of effort to design and organize the hill into a satisfactory shape.
You have to know that the dolls are of different sizes, shapes and colors. If you stack them up randomly, not only will the overall structure be unstable, but the shapes and colors will also appear extremely strange and not beautiful at all.
Now after careful design, the stacked appearance looks much better, and the overall color matching is more neat. Some are big and some are small, but they don’t look abrupt.
As for the largest panda doll, it was put on the bed. Shirasaki Hana had slept with it for a few days before, but later she found that it was not as comfortable as Xiaoxue and Yushan Kazuto, so she put it aside.
After finishing organizing these things, Shirasaki Hana's things were basically all organized as well. It took another ten minutes to tidy up the scattered things, and the organizing work was finally completed.
"Brother Kazuto...are you leaving?" Looking at Kazuto Yushan walking towards the door, Shirosaki Hana couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Yushan Kazuto turned around and smiled: "I'm just going to wash my face. I won't leave until the evening."
"Just...can't you stay for a few days?" Shirosaki Hana asked in a low voice.
Although Yushan Kazuto also wanted to spend more time with Shirasaki Hana, the New Year was approaching, and even if he stayed in Tama, he could only stay for a day or two.
It would be too much trouble to ask Shirasaki Haruka to prepare a room for herself just for one or two days.
Chapter 683: The Arrival of a Friend
"If I stay, it would be too much trouble for Aunt Chunxiang, and I can only stay for a day or two at most, so forget it." Yushan Kazuto shook his head.
Shirasaki Hana blinked, her expression somewhat gloomy: "Is that so?"
"Don't be unhappy." Yushan Kazuto patted Shirasaki's little head, "You look so depressed just after coming back. Aunt Haruka will be sad."

"Oh." Shirosaki Hana whispered and walked aside.
"Xiaohua!" Haruka Shirasaki's voice suddenly came from downstairs.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
As soon as Hayama Kazuto mentioned Shirasaki Haruka, Shirasaki Haruka suddenly called out her name, which made Shirasaki Hana a little worried and she rushed out of the room.
"Your friends are coming over to play." Shirasaki Haruka said with a smile.
At the door, Hoshino Hinata and Himesaka Noa poked their heads in, and when they saw Shirasaki Hana, they quickly ran into the room.
Behind Hinata Hoshino, there was a very suspicious person. She was wearing a hood on her head, and her entire face was covered by exaggerated and strange sunglasses and a mask. She was also carrying a very old-fashioned backpack behind her.
"Sister Miyako, what are you doing?" Shirosaki Hana asked, tilting her head.
"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao, Xiaohua, how did you recognize me?" Hoshino Miyako was a little incoherent.
"Isn't it possible that only Sister Miyako would wear such a strange outfit?" Shirasaki Hana said.
Miyako Hoshino didn't know whether she should be happy or smile bitterly. She was delighted that Shirasaki Hana could recognize her at a glance, but she didn't expect that Shirasaki Hana's method of recognizing her was so simple and crude.
"Sister Miyako, please come in quickly." said Shirosaki Hana.
Hoshino Miyako suddenly felt something was not right. Before leaving Tama, Shirasaki Hana usually called her "sister", but now, she called her "Sister Miyako".
Most people might not notice this change in detail, but Miyako Hoshino felt it very keenly.
In fact, this was just an unconscious change on Shirasaki Hana's part. Originally, she called Hoshino Miyako "sister" just like she followed Hoshino Hinata, and their relationship was not really as close as sisters.
But after going to Tokyo, Shirasaki Hana met a real "sister", who was Doma Mai. After so many days of getting along with her, Shirasaki Hana had already regarded Doma Mai as her own sister.
However, her way of addressing Doma Yui has become fixed, still calling her "Sister Yui" as she did when they first met. In comparison, calling Hoshino Miyako "Sister" seems a bit inappropriate.
Therefore, Shirasaki Hana's way of addressing Hoshino Miyako naturally became "Sister Miyako".
Her feelings towards Hoshino Miyako didn't change much, she just changed the way she addressed her. However, it was this change in the way she addressed her that made Hoshino Miyako feel like she was struck by lightning, and she hurriedly held onto Shirasaki Hana's hand.
Shirasaki Hana was a little frightened by Hoshino Miyako's actions and subconsciously broke free. Hoshino Miyako became even more worried. She thought that Shirasaki Hana had distanced herself from her because she had not been to Tokyo during this period.
She walked into the room, stood next to Shirosaki Hana, and took out all kinds of desserts from her backpack as if they were free, leaving Shirosaki Hana stunned.
"Xiaohua, this is mango pancake, this is chocolate snow meringue... and this, this is your favorite fruit pudding, hurry up and try it."
Shirosaki Hana blinked and put away all the things: "Thank you, Sister Miyako, but I don't have much appetite right now, so put it aside for now."
Yushan Kazuto was leaving in the evening, so Shirasaki Hana had no appetite to enjoy the dessert happily now.
Hinata Hoshino seemed to have received an electric shock, and her body was shaking constantly. Normally, no matter how unhappy Shirosaki Hana was, she would instantly become obedient like a kitten when she saw desserts. However, today, with so many delicious desserts, she actually lost her appetite!
"Xiaohua, what are you doing downstairs? Come up and play quickly!" Hoshino Hinata shouted from upstairs.
"Oh, okay, I'll be right up." Shirosaki Hana put the dessert on the table. It was winter now, so there was no need to worry about it getting rotten if it wasn't put in the refrigerator. She trotted upstairs.
When I returned to the room, Yushan Kazuto just walked out.
"Kazuto-brother? What...are you going to do?" Shirosaki Hana suddenly became nervous.
"It's nothing. I just feel like it wouldn't be nice for me to disturb you guys having fun together. Come sit downstairs for a while." Yushan Heren said with a smile.
"Oh." Knowing that Yushan Kazuto was not planning to leave early, Shirosaki Hana finally felt relieved and returned to the room, but did not close the door.
"Xiaohua, you are finally back from Tokyo." Hoshino Hinata said excitedly.
"Yeah." Baisakihua nodded and responded softly.
"Did you, Xiaohua, catch those dolls in the claw machine store?"
The most eye-catching thing in the room is the pile of dolls.
"Most of them were caught by my brother, and I caught a small part." Shirosaki Hana said softly.
Yushan Kazuto gave her all the dolls he caught, so there are so many.
"It's so nice to catch it with my brother." Noa Himesaka said, standing next to the mountain of dolls, wanting to touch them with her hand.
"Noai, don't." Baisaki Hana said hurriedly.
Himesaka Noa looked at Shirosaki Hana with a slightly surprised expression. Normally, Shirosaki Hana wouldn't care about such things.
"No, sorry, I got a little excited." Baisakihua immediately realized what she had asked.
“No, no, I don’t
"It's the right thing to do." Himesaka Noa said somewhat awkwardly. In fact, the root of the problem was indeed with her. If she hadn't messed with the doll mountain, Shirasaki Hana would definitely not have stopped her.
"Well... it was built for me by my brother Hito. It took a lot of effort to build it into this shape. And I told my brother that its overall structure is very unstable. If it is moved around, it may collapse." Shirosaki Hana explained in a low voice.
"Is that so?" Noa Himesaka couldn't help but take a step back, moving a little further away from the mountain of claw machines, and looked at it carefully.
Originally, she was also curious about how these dolls of different sizes were piled up. After hearing what Baisakihua said, her curiosity was satisfied.
When Yushan and others were piling up the mountain of dolls, they used a lot of knowledge of mechanics to ensure that the overall force on all the dolls remained balanced, so they were piled into this shape.
If you accidentally move a doll, the force model may be destroyed, and the entire mountain of dolls may collapse.
"Hinata, come and see, this little Charmander is so cute!" Himesaka Noa shouted.
"Wait a minute, I'm messaging someone!" Hoshino Hinata said, holding the phone.
Himesaka Noai glanced at Hoshino Hinata and said, "Hinata, who are you talking to?"
Chapter 684: Final Decision
"It's Xiaoyi and Xia Yin. They heard that Xiaoai returned to Tama and they were very happy too."
Hoshino Hinata raised her phone and looked at Shirosaki Hana: "Hana, Xiaoyi and Xia Yin greeted you!"
"Really?" Shirosaki Hana turned her head and looked at Hoshino Hinata's phone. Both Tanemura Koi and Konomori Natsune had sent voice messages.
"Xiaohua, welcome back to Tama!" Tanemura Xiaoyi is still as straightforward as ever.
"Xiaohua, welcome home." The speech of Natsune Kozhimori was similar to that of Koei Tanemura, but it felt more intimate.
Shirosakihana blinked, seeming a little emotional: "Hinata, please thank them for me."
"Xiao Hana, don't you want to thank them in person?" asked Noa Himesaka.
Shirosaki Hana blinked, but still shook her head. She was a little worried that if she sent a message to Tanemura Koi and Konomori Natsune, she would suddenly burst into tears.
"Okay then." Hoshino Hinata nodded, quickly sent messages to the two of them, and then put her phone away.
"Xiaohua, starting from next semester, you should go back to Tama to study, right?"
Hoshino Hinata seemed to be asking a question, but from his words, one could sense a hint of hope.
Shirosaki Hana blinked, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
To be fair, she also wanted to go back to Tama to study, after all, she had good friends and girlfriends there.
But in Tokyo, Shirasaki Hana also has many new ties.
Kazuto Hayama, Mi Tsuchama, Sanae Katomori, Megumi Kato, Mio Mizukoshi, Ayano Sadano...
Shirosaki Hana doesn't want to give up on any of these people.
Sometimes Shirosaki Hana would think, if only the world were just one city, then there would be no pain of separation.
Shirasaki Hana lowered her head: "I don't know, Mom hasn't made a decision yet."
"But... when I asked Aunt Haruka before, she said she would stay in Tama!" Himesaka Noa suddenly exclaimed. Could it be that she was deceived by Shirasaki Haruka? Can adults also deceive children?
Originally, Shirasaki Haruka did want to stay in Tama, but after seeing Shirasaki Hana's final grades, she felt that the education level in Tokyo was indeed much better than that in Tama, and now she was in a dilemma.
When Shirasaki Hana was studying in Tama, her grades were only average, but in less than one semester in Tokyo, she got full marks in almost every subject.
Shirasaki Haruka had also seen the test paper before. It was not the kind of test paper that was so easy that one would get good marks for free. It might even be a little more difficult than Tama's test paper.
In this situation, Shirasaki Haruka was indeed a little conflicted and hesitant.
Shirasaki Hana shook her head. If Shirasaki Haruka had already made a decision, she might have felt relieved. Unfortunately, Shirasaki Haruka hadn't. Shirasaki Haruka herself was still deeply conflicted.
"Xiaohua, do you want to stay in Tama or go to Tokyo to study?" asked Hoshino Hinata.
"I...I don't know either." Baisakihua blinked, looking a little confused.
If possible, she didn't want to be separated from her friends such as Hoshino Hinata and Himesaka Noa, but she also didn't want to leave Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima Yui and others.
The room fell into silence for a moment. Himesaka Noa lowered her head in thought. She understood what Shirasaki Hana meant. Because Shirasaki Hana herself could not make up her mind to make a decision, she put the decision-making power on Shirasaki Haruka.
