On the riverbank, many parents were strolling around with their children, while some children were crowding by the river, holding small buckets and scoop nets, trying to catch crabs.
"There are so many people." Yushan Heren frowned.
"Don't you like crowded places?" asked Kato Megumi.
"Not really." Yushan Heren shook his head. He didn't have social phobia, but he was still reluctant to go to crowded places unless necessary, especially on a hot day like in summer.
"Then let's go." Kato Megumi took a step ahead, and Yushan Heren followed.
……
Where there are people, there is business. There are also some small stalls selling snacks on the Fukagawa River beach.
"A bowl of baked potatoes and a serving of octopus balls."
Hearing a familiar voice, Yushan Kazuto turned his head and it was Doma Ohira.
Yushan Kazuto walked over and said, "Doma Ohira, why are you here?"
In Haneyama Kazuto's impression, Doma Ohira is a homebody, and his daily life is just a straight line between the company, apartment, and supermarket.
"Mayuma-chan wants to eat these, so I have to buy them for her." Doma Ohira looked at Hayama Kazuto and scratched his head.
"Doma-san's foot injury should be almost healed now," said Yushan Kazuto. "She should be able to walk normally now. Taking a walk can enhance the recovery effect."
"Yes, is that so? Umaro-chan told me that it would take two months to fully recover!" Doma Ohira was a little confused.
"It does take that much time to fully recover, but it doesn't take complete recovery to return to normal." Yushan Kazuto blinked.
Doma Ohira took the baked potatoes and octopus balls and hurried back.
Kato Megumi came over and said, "Kazuto, you might have ruined the good fortune of Tsuchima-kun."
"Hmm?" Yushan Kazuto was a little confused.
I was clearly helping Tujian to speed up his recovery.
Seeing Yushan Kazuto's look, Kato Megumi had no choice but to shake her head: "Do you want to eat Cthulhu balls?"
"Sure." Yushan Kazuto nodded, "Hey, Hui, do you know the story of Cthulhu too?"
"I checked it out after I came back from Hokkaido."
……
The sky gradually darkened, the night wind ruffled the water, and the reflections in the river flickered.
Yushan and others sat by the river, quietly admiring the river water. Kato Megumi was holding a bowl of octopus balls in her hand, sitting very close to Yushan and others.
"what."
"Don't treat me like an elementary school student!" Yushan and Ren opened their mouths in cooperation, and a plump and juicy octopus ball rolled into their mouths.
"There's nothing we can do. The boss said that for the sake of environmental protection, he only gives us one toothpick." Kato Megumi ate one and it tasted no different from most octopus balls, crispy and a little chewy.
"Today's octopus balls seem to be particularly delicious." Kato Megumi said suddenly.
"Yeah, I think so too." Yushan Kazuto nodded. Although they tasted like ordinary octopus balls, there was always a special feeling when eating them.
"There will be a Tanabata Festival celebration here this Sunday," said Kato Megumi.
"Tanabata Festival?" Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't have a deep impression of this festival.
"Hasn't Kazuto ever participated in the Tanabata Festival?"
"Ah."
"Then let's come together on Sunday!"
……
You take one and I take one, and we finish a serving of octopus balls quickly.
"Let's go for a walk together." Kato Megumi held Yushan Kazuto's hand.
Chapter 164: Teacher Kirisu Can’t Eat Spicy Food
Wednesday, after school.
Kirisu Madoka suddenly walked into the classroom: "Hayama-san, come to the office for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."
"Hui, you go back first."
Yushan Kazuto followed Kirisu Mafuyu into the office with some trepidation. As soon as he entered, Kirisu Mafuyu closed the door of the office.
"sit."
Listening to Kirisu Mafuyu's brief and powerful voice, Yushan Kazuto took a chair and sat opposite Kirisu Mafuyu.
Kirisu Madoka rested her arms on the table, her hands crossed in an arched shape, her head lowered, and she looked very serious.
Yushan Kazuto quietly waited for Kirisu Mafuyu's judgment. Although he could not remember what mistake he had made, judging from Kirisu Mafuyu's attitude, it was probably not a small matter.
However, after sitting for several minutes, Kirisu Mafuyu still did not speak, so Yushan Kazuto had to remind him: "Kirisu-sensei, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Kirisu Madoka moved her mouth but still couldn't speak, a blush appeared on her face.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. What happened to Kirisu Mafuyu? Why did she feel like she was about to confess?
"Kirisu-sensei?"
"Hayama-san..."
[It's over, it's over, how come we're almost at the point where they're talking to each other affectionately, are we going to be talking to each other in a sweet and cheesy way next? ]
"Do you have the key to my house?" asked Kirisu Madoka.
"Eh? Is it just such a small matter?" Yushan Heren blinked. He thought it could be some big deal!
"I...I left the key at home." Kirisu Madoka said with a blushing face.
[I am so embarrassed. How can I tell my students about such an embarrassing thing? ]
"Teacher, your keys are here." Yushan Kazuto took out a key chain, one of the keys was to Kirisu Madoka's apartment.
"That's good. Let's go back together." Kirisu Madoka breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go back together?"
To be honest, Kazuto Hayama was not very happy about it. He would rather give the key directly to Madoka Kirisu.
But thinking about the relationship between Kirisu Mafuyu and Hiratsuka Shizuka, if I reveal the information about my move, I'm afraid that tomorrow, Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Haruno will both know about my move.
As for Yukinoshita Yukino, Kazuto Hayama kept his mouth shut to ensure that the news was not leaked. If the news came to light on Kirisu Mafuyu's side, all the efforts of moving would be in vain.
"Okay then." Yushan Kazuto nodded. He was too lazy to make excuses. It was just a matter of sending him to sit on the train two more stops.
……
"Thank you, Yushan-san." Kirisu Madoka said as they walked into the house.
Today, Kirisu Madoka's house was relatively tidy. After all, the cleaning lady had just cleaned it not long ago, so at least it didn't look like a garbage dump.
"Teacher, I'll go back then." Yushan Heren waved his hand.
"Wait a moment." Kirisu Mafuyu called out, "I, I'll treat you to a meal."
"No thanks, Mr. Kirisu." Yushan Kazuto quickly refused.
……
Mongolian Ramen.
It’s still that familiar ramen restaurant.
"Teacher Kirisu, have you fallen in love with the ramen in this restaurant?" asked Kazuto Hayama.
"You, don't you like the Arctic ramen here?" Kirisu Madoka asked Yushan Kazuto.
Yushan Kazuto shrugged without explaining. The Mongolian ramen tasted good, but if he had to choose, he would rather eat the tonkotsu ramen at the corner of the intersection.
"A bowl of Arctic ramen, a bowl of... Japanese black pepper noodles."
After a long psychological struggle, Kirisu Madoka finally chose a bowl of seafood ramen with a second-level spiciness.
“Two bowls of Arctic Ramen!”
The blonde girl I had seen before came in again, followed by a purple-haired girl.
The Mongolian Ramen business was exceptionally good today, with only the table where Yushan Kazuto and Kirisu Mafuyu were sitting having empty seats.
"Can we share a table?" asked the blonde girl.
"I'm fine." Yushan Kazuto shrugged.
"Okay." Kirisu Madoka put on a teacher's attitude and nodded.
Four bowls of ramen were quickly served. The seafood ramen looked particularly helpless surrounded by three bowls of Arctic ramen soaked in red oil. Looking at the other three bowls of ramen, Kirisu Madoka felt a little scalp-tingling.
"I'm gonna start now."
Yushan Kazuto was still the same as always, eating Arctic ramen without changing his expression, as if he was eating a bowl of ordinary noodles.
The blonde girl was performing better than before. Although she was still coughing, it was not as severe. She was eating ramen with tears in her eyes.
The purple-haired girl next to her performed better than her, and seemed to be able to eat spicy food as well, but compared with Yushan Heren, she was nothing.
The one who performed the worst was Kirisu Mafuyu. Even though the seafood ramen was only level two in spiciness, she felt it was level nine in spiciness. Her body was shaking, tears were streaming, and she didn't even dare to cough for fear of choking herself.
Of course, compared with the last performance, there is still considerable improvement.
After walking out of Mongolian Ramen, Kirisu Madoka finally couldn't help coughing: "Cough, cough, cough, cough."
"Teacher, be careful not to choke yourself."
"Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough!" Kirisu Madoka's cough became more severe.
[Isn't this a prophecy? ]
Yushan and others hurriedly supported
Kirisu Madoka pulled him to the side of the road and sat him down.
……
"Ice cream?" Kirisu Madoka's eyes were red. She looked at the things that Yushan Kazuto bought and felt something strange. She asked weakly.
"Well...McDonald's is having a buy one get one free promotion right now." Yushan Kazuto handed an ice cream to Kirisu Madoka and kept one for himself.
Kirisu Madoka took the ice cream, stuck out her pink little tongue and licked it. The icy feeling finally covered up the spicy taste on her tongue.
"Thank you, Yushan-san." Kirisu Madoka's voice was a little louder, and it did sound a lot more comfortable. She felt that the burning sensation on her tongue and in her throat was gone.
"No need, Mr. Kirisu." Hayama Kazuto shook his head.
"Let's go back."
……
"After you go home, remember to review well and do your best in the final exam," Kirisu Madoka reminded.
"If you have any questions, you can come upstairs and ask the teacher."
"Teacher, if you can cancel the rule of arranging seats according to grades, I would be willing to review well." Yushan Heren said.
"That's probably not possible." Kirisu Madoka shook her head, "But if you can get first place in the grade, I can give you the opportunity to freely choose your deskmate."
……
"Shi-chan, is that true? It's been over a week since we moved to our new home, and you haven't even started writing the third volume yet?"
Machida Sonoko walked into Kasumigaoka Utaha's house. Now that they were neighbors, it was much more convenient to urge them to submit manuscripts.
"Isn't there still a lot of time before the deadline?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked a little lazy and stretched.
"It's because you, Shi-chan, wrote the second volume so brilliantly that readers are looking forward to the development between Sayuka and Ye Xunhe in the third volume!" said Machida Sonoko.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes suddenly became confused, and the image of Yushan Kazuto could not be erased from her mind.
"No inspiration, Shi-chan?" asked Machida Sonoko.
Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head. The story had already taken shape in her mind, but she felt like she had no idea where to start.
"There's a Fukagawa river beach nearby. There's a Tanabata party on Sunday. Let's go find some inspiration together!"
