Food is a necessity, and food is a luxury

The shackles from blood do not stop Marivina who is about to blossom

Anna who is coiled at her feet, warming her icy heart with her body

And that windy and light-hearted fool who is still flirting with someone who understands him

The world is still sleepy

"Ohhhhhhhhh ......

"The electronic synthesized sound tormented Ziongzong's ears, making his body cramp and his scalp numb. "Ah ...... is so hurt to hear ......!

The alarm clock was pressed off with a decisive hand, and Ziongzong crawled out of the bedding.

When Sister Yukino gave this to Ziongzong last night, she smiled and said that the sound was very nice and could make people wake up slowly in their sleep, incomparably pleasant ...... but now the result is actually, this perverted electronic chicken sound makes Ziongzong covered with goose bumps, but also related to the chicken.

At this moment is 6:30, it is a good time for morning exercise.

After yesterday's chaotic 'meeting event', unknowingly, a night had passed.

The house was quiet, and the Uesugi family seemed to be sleeping, while Ziongzong, who always had a good habit of morning practice, was already full of energy.

After putting the bedding in the bedside table (and sleeping on the tatami floor, of course), Ziongzong changed into his workout clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

--

Ziongzong looked at himself in the mirror, but he didn't have any narcissistic tendencies (what's with that redundant phrase?) ...... Ziongzong just felt a little sorry about his looks (not in the traditional sense, of course). regretful meaning). Although it looks very spirited ......, this face ...... is ......

"Alas ......"

Although I can't say it's ugly, I can't say it's ugly, but ...... how to say it ...... lacks a masculine aura.

Although Ziongzong has also tried the manly "flat head" and "inch-cut head", but Ziongzong, who lives in a different dimension from the word "handsome", has no other way out after changing his hairstyle than to be a harmonic star and a funny artist.

The good thing is that he hasn't broken the jar yet and simply go to be a pseudonym.

To add insult to injury, in addition to this, there is another thing that makes Ziongzong sad.

There is a kind of body that girls all over the world dream of, called "eat not fat". But this physique is a fatal blow to Ziongzong. He not only "can't eat fat", but also "can't eat strong".

This tall and thin body shape is more or less weak - though only in appearance.

Ziongzong, who had been with this kind of body for several years, could only accept it.

Incidentally, Ziongzong has a small birthmark that resembles the pattern of evening primrose on his knee fossa (scientific name: popliteal fossa), which he has had since he was a child, but few people know about it.

After washing up, Ziongzong took his keys and left the Uesugi house.

The town where Ziongzong lives, Higashihori, is located in the Kamigyo district of Kyoto, and there are many residential areas in this area.

The morning air always gives people a fresh feeling, and in the streets, you can often see birds chattering and flying, or resting on the walls, watching the pedestrians coming and going.

They all become each other's scenery.

As Ziongzong like morning exercise, there are also quite a lot of people here, there are old people, there are also young people, and small dogs and cats or something ...... meet, not only people, even small dogs and cats are friendly and Ziongzong nod and greet, which makes Ziongzong remembered a children's song, remember is " The sun***, the flowers***, the birds say***"

--- well, it's very friendly.

Ziongzong thought he might encounter some trouble as a new face, but in fact the morning run was quite pleasant.

--The first thing I did was to go out for a jog, so I thought I'd stop by and take a look.

With this in mind, Ziongzong went on his morning jog to the kitten he rescued yesterday.

--It was gone.

There was nothing left in the corner where he had hidden it yesterday, and the basket had disappeared too.

-- I think some good persons took it home

Ziongzong had to think positively, given that he didn't have the ability to keep a pet.

He checked his watch, he thought he was time to going back to Uesugi's house. He vaguely remembered that yesterday's homeroom teacher, Mayumi Araki, had said that he had to make chrysanthemum tea or something if he was late, and even though it didn't feel serious, it was better not to break the rules.

On the way back, Ziongzong passed by a girl who was also jogging and seemed to be about the same age as Ziongzong, and the thing that impressed Ziongzong the most was that she had an armband wrapped around her arm with the words "class president" written on it, which made people feel funny. Middle school students, but also do such a pupil feeling things, quite naive and lovely.

When Ziongzong returned to Uesugi's house, Yukino ...... sister was already in the kitchen, while Yui just got up and went into the bathroom to start washing up.

''Sister Yukino, good morning.''

"......"

Ziongzong didn't understand why she looked at herself with an unhappy face when she greeted Yukino-san with a smile.

There's no mistake about the title either ......

Ziongzong vaguely felt the figure of the bald-headed paranoid dean seemed to be inserted into his mind again.

--No, I don't want to see his bald head early in the morning.

Ziongzong thought back carefully on what had just happened and finally realized what he had missed.

‘Uh, I'm back, Yukino-san.'

''Welcome back, Ziongzong~~''

Yukino-san's change of face was like flipping a book, she was smiling happily all of a sudden.

"What did you do so early? ‘’

"Oh, I went out for a morning walk."

"Oh ...... morning practice."

"Well, yes."

''......''

For some reason, Yukino-san's expression froze for a moment.

"Morning practice?"

"Uh, yes. ‘’

Ziongzong felt that Yukino-san was looking at herself with the same surprise as if she had noticed that the Great Saturn Flare had suddenly disappeared.

''Little Ziongzong.''

Immediately after that, Yukino-san's tone became serious all of a sudden.

"Though it's good to want to exercise. ‘’

She swept a glance at Ziongzong's lean body.

''But, it's not good if a bad man sees it, it's early in the morning, and I don't know if the police are working ......''

The conversation turned to an angle that Ziongzong couldn't understand.

"Although I saw yesterday, you should be "1’’, but "1", "0" such things, sometimes is not so absolute ...... feet have a long, inch has a short, maybe you think you are a ""strong 1"", but or one day meet a strong enemy, only to find that you are just a ""weak 0"" in the skin of ""strong attack"". Weak suffer" is only ......]

Yukino sister more and more in-depth, more and more emotional, the tone of voice bleak, melancholy look. I don't know what she is playing Ziongzong, he doesn't know what to do.

"They were in the middle of a junior high school, so you shouldn't have to interfere too much.

Uesugi Tano, dressed in a suit, came into the living room with a newspaper, and with a timely insertion, saved Ziongzong from being in deep trouble, and was grateful for Uesugi Tano's rescue.

--That's really worthy of being the head of the family.

"Besides, it's not a bad thing to switch between "1" and "0" once in a while, each has its own fun, right, Ziongzong?

Uesugino happily patted him on the shoulder.

--I take it back.

"That's right, honey."

"That's my Yukino. What's for breakfast today?"

"Bread and ham, or ......?"

"Yukino is still as lovable as ever ......"

The conversation unfolded inexplicably, and before you knew it, it had turned into a conversation between a sweet couple, and Ziongzong quickly fled so as not to be corrupted.

After taking the time to rinse off the sweat from his body, Ziongzong changed into the uniform of Higashikan High School.

Regular shirt and suit pants, plus a wool pullover and a tie, a moderate student-style suit uniform.

He lifted his book bag from the desk and took a passing glance at the schedule.

--Math, Ancient Japanese, and English ...... were all very regular classes, except for the last one.

For Ziongzong, the two words with an ominous aura jumped into his eyes, and his hand tightened with nervousness, so that the innocent schedule was crumpled into a crumpled ball.

The course that made Ziongzong feel tricky was something he already knew he had to face, but when he was on the field, he inevitably wavered.

Spreading the scarred schedule back out on the table, Ziongzong walked into the living room.

"Yo, Ziongzong, the uniform fits you well. ‘’

"Well, good morning, Uncle Uesugi."

Uncle Uesugi was reading the newspaper and eating his breakfast. At first glance, he looked like a dignified head of the family, but when he opened his mouth, he often strayed into various strange topics.

"Today is the first day of class, right?

"Yes."

We ate breakfast and chatted at the same time. Ziongzong was surprised by the casual atmosphere. It was amazing how quickly he could talk casually. As a newcomer in this family, he was still very formal, but Uesugi Tano, Yukino-san, their affable and casual attitude reduced the rawness Ziongzong could feel to a minimum.

It's just that ...... although Ziongzong is very affectionate, completely, no half-hearted, but Ziongzong has never been able to, like a member of the family, naturally integrate himself.

Time is a magic potion that can change anything.

"If you can't keep up with your schoolwork, you can ask Yui for help.

"Yes, I'll do that."

"Did you call me, Dad?"

As she said that, Yui also came out in her uniform.

She was wearing the same shirt and wool sweater as the boys, a knee-length pleated skirt underneath, and long socks, and had a vibrant look.

But besides the energy, the first impression of Yui is handsome. Dark hair, fair skin, and ...... ponytail, well, plus ten points.

"Good morning, Ziongzong."

"Good morning, Yui-san."

You can't associate her with the frail girl you saw on the rooftop yesterday.

"Did you study well for the first day of class?"

"I've read most of it."

"Do your best."

"Yes."

As we talked, we finished our breakfast quickly.

When he came to the entrance and put on his shoes to go out, Ziongzong felt a hot look from behind.

"I'm going, Yukino-san."

"Well, be careful on your way."

The hot sight finally disappeared.

"Wait for me, Ziongzong."

When she opened the door, Yui's voice came from behind Ziongzong.

'Let's go together.'

She smiled and patted Ziongzong's shoulder. Yui was very tall, although she was still a junior, she was 6 meters tall, roughly inheriting the excellent genes of Uesugi Tano and Yukino-san in terms of height.

This made Ziongzong feel a little pressure.

The walking time from home to school is about twenty minutes, and if Ziongzong was walking alone, he thought ten minutes would be enough, but since he was walking with a girl, he thought it would probably be slower.

However, he was surprised to find Yui walking faster than he thought, perhaps even faster than Ziongzong. She was the same as she looked, a vigorous and resolute person.

"Ziongzong, did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes, I slept very well."

Although she was only a few months older than Ziongzong, she had the look of an older sister and quickly got into her role. Yesterday, on the rooftop, she had a weak look that was rarely seen.

"That's right, Yui-san."

"Well, what?"

"Has Yuki always been so introverted?"

"Ah, yes."

Yui smiled faintly.

"When we sent her to elementary school, we were all worried that she wouldn't make friends, that she wouldn't get used to it. ......"

"But she did surprisingly well, as if she had an attractive quality, and everyone was happy to study with her.

"That's amazing."

"Yeah, yeah, she doesn't even say anything to people she doesn't know. ‘’

...... is true.

"But she seems to like you, didn't she ask you yesterday?"

"...... Sort of."

That's a little bit of pity for a young man who's just been living. ......

"Don't worry, you'll get along fine after a while."

"Yes."

The sky was beautifully blue, and it was the first day of school, and it was really the best day for this kind of sunshine.

? :Good morning, senpai.

? :Good morning.

Two boys turned out from the intersection in front of them, and their eyes lit up at the sight of Yui, greeting him with respect and enthusiasm.

"Well, good morning."

The two boys who didn't expect to see Yui's smile, blushed in unison and turned away shyly.

--It seems that she is very popular in the school.

-- Even the second year brats have this little mood~.

Ziongzong's uncle heart was so focused on his emotions that he didn't notice the two boys who walked away, looked back at him and remembered his looks.

The sharp sight pierced Ziongzong and left its mark.

On the faces of the two of them who were far away, they showed ''Who is that raw face who went to school with Yui-senpai? This contemptuous and arrogant expression.

Unlike Ziongzong, who was inexplicably feeling, Uesugi Yui noticed these details, frowned slightly, and after making a slight decision, she accelerated her steps, and Ziongzong, who noticed this only a moment later, was already left behind by her.

"Wait, wait a minute, sister Yui, how to suddenly go so fast?

So fast that Ziongzong had to jog to catch up with the gap, making him wonder if Yui was on the school's walking team.

"Ah, sorry."

"What's wrong?"

"...... Nothing, I just wanted to work out all of a sudden. ‘’

Ziongzong thought that the sudden acceleration just now could not be for no reason, especially in Yui's body, but it would not be a strange excuse like "suddenly want to exercise".

"Oh, exercise, why don't we jog to school?

Ziongzong joked along with this excuse, he knew what Yui was worried about, but did not think it was something to worry about, but it was not convenient to point out, so he used this method to spice up the atmosphere.

"No, it's not necessary ...... to carry the school bag is not very convenient, and running on the road like this is also very strange, and also wear a skirt, very indecent.’’

And Yui took it seriously.

The only serious look, Ziongzong can not help but feel that she is very easy to be cheated, but also found that she is really slow in some respects.

Because both of them were fast, they arrived at the school in less than 10 minutes.

Since they arrived early, there weren't many people at the school entrance, so it saved unnecessary trouble. This is a feeling they both share, even though they don't know that the other knows about it.

However, Ziongzong was thinking about whether or not to continue going to school with Yui tomorrow.

"So, Ziongzong, I'll go first."

"Yes."

Yui changed her shoes and went ahead, while Ziongzong needed to clean out his shoe closet.

The closet had been dusty for a long time, but Ziongzong had the foresight to bring a rag.

--But it was really miserable. ......

This shoe cabinet, dirty, but also a little deformed, it seems that the previous generation of owners did a lot of bad things.

When Ziongzong went to the sink to get some water, he coincidentally ran into Mayumi Araki.

Today's Mayumi Araki is still beautiful, red and black thick striped tank top plus seven or eight points to the ankle khaki pants, fresh and dazzling, some playful short hair to help her add a rare cute at this age.

As long as she didn't say anything, all the above praises would stand without a doubt.

"I'm going to wait for you in the classroom, if you drag your feet, I'll kill you.

These words were the beginning of everything that happened today.

Although Ziongzong instinctively wanted to run away, even though he was reluctant, his reason was still there, he might meet with misfortune if he went, but if he didn't, then he would definitely say goodbye to the world, so Ziongzong had to drag himself to the tiger's den.

The journey to the office was a difficult one, and what was even more difficult to face was how to speak to Mayumi Araki.

Such silence immediately attracted Mayumi Araki's stare, and she did not have the patience to wait for Ziongzong to consider, and ignored the other teachers in the office, so she spoke with a big smile.

"Damn you, when you see me and don't take the initiative to greet me, are you waiting for me to take the initiative to say to you 'Good morning, Uesugi-san~' and other disgusting words that make people tremble and nauseous? ‘’

What is surprising is that the other teachers are oblivious and seem to be used to it.

"Good morning ...... Araki-sensei ......"

Ziongzong knew he was at a disadvantage, but couldn't think of a way to reverse it.

--- "Call me Big Sister, remember!

"Good morning, Big Sister!"

"Oh, good morning."

Such a simple yet gruff greeting made Mayumi Araki's attitude slightly milder.

Ziongzong felt that this was a good time for him to retreat, before getting into more trouble.

''So, I'll go to the classroom first if there's nothing else ......''

Only, Mayumi Araki wouldn't have nothing to do with calling someone over to his office.

"Stop right there."

"...... Yes."

"Today, that idiot Katsuo was constipated, had diarrhea or a broken hemorrhoid, and couldn't come to school.

There were snickers all around the office.

I'm sorry, Mr. Katsuo Honda.

"Mr. Honda?"

"Yeah, that's the guy who's a loser... What's your name? ...... By the way, it's Yamada... Yamada Taro, right?

-Is notYamada Taro, come on!

"Uesugi Ziongzong, my name is, Uesugi, Ziongzong."

Mayumi Araki crossed her legs and tapped her fingers on the table.

"Why have such a hard to remember name. ...... Anyway, Uesugi, I have something to ask you today.’’

Although he used the word "ask" verbally, Mayumi Araki was actually ordering people around.

"Please go to the class 2(C) to be class teacher for one day. ‘’

"......"

--what?

Ziongzong didn't know what kind of day he was about to face.

When Ziongzong walked up to the podium of the 2(C) class, he didn't know what state he was in.

Only the pain of Mayumi Araki kicking him into this class, the pain that rested on his buttocks, he could still really feel.

It was a vague pain.

''Who is this person? "Where's Hondo-sensei?" "The new teacher is too young, how old is he?"

The voices from below the podium grew noisy, which made Ziongzong feel that it was time for him to come to his senses.

No matter what, since he was already standing here, he should do as well as he could.

Cough!

The coughing effect wasn't loud enough, so Ziongzong reached out and slapped the blackboard, finally quieting the classroom.

"Today, Miss Hondo was sick and asked for a day off, so I took over I'm a senior who is a year older than you, so just call me Uesugi.’’

Ziongzong did not intend to give his full name, because no one here knows himself, only his surname can be distant, and also easy to discipline, although the same for students, but in Japan the class relationship between seniors and juniors is very strong, no accident still can smoothly pass.

"I'm not going to do too much, I'm just going to do my duty as a class guide and keep everyone in class, that's all. ‘’

"A lazy, dead class was not what Ziongzong wanted to see, but it was the best state to be in right now. He found a chair and sat down in the corner of the class while looking at his textbook for the first class of the day, Ancient Literature Appreciation.

The information Ziongzong observed at the podium, the class has a few unique students, one is sitting in the back of the short-haired girl, looks full of vitality full of action, the class president is probably her; and then in the upper right corner, there is a rather active little creature, when I came in to introduce myself, she was secretly eating a snack under the table ah in the When I came in to introduce myself, she was sneaking under the table, eating snacks, drawing on books, and so on, obviously a role to energize the class; a girl with long beautiful hair, sitting demurely and elegantly in the middle of the left, if she became the librarian, the number of people borrowing books from the library every day would probably increase dramatically; lastly, a girl who made Ziongzong feel a little scary, just by glancing at her on the way down, she made The cowardly thought of "I want to shiver" quickly multiplied in Ziongzong's mind, but he was able to hold it back without losing face.

--It should be an interesting class.

And, as for the very-vey-very unreasonable thing of a junior taking the place of the class teacher, Ziongzong no longer put it into consideration, what he was thinking about now was how to keep Mayumi Araki from looking down on himself, missing this opportunity and probably being overwhelmed by her for the rest of his school days, which was the last thing Ziongzong wanted to happen.

--I'm going to do the best I can with the mess that woman threw at me.

That said, ambition is possible, but the cruelty of reality is often to destroy all kinds of ambitious ideals to reflect its cruelty.

It's just that it's a hell of successing this thing.

The rustling sound inside the class made Ziongzong's eyes not legal on the book.

Speaking of which, when Ziongzong came in, she was eating marshmallows on the table, always in the state of eating, not stopping for a moment. It was the little girl like hamster sitting at the front right of the class. She had books on the table, but her hands were busy in the drawer, peeling peanuts and biting them very happily. She had been eating marshmallows on the table when Tsung Zong came in, and had not stopped eating.

So love to eat, but the body is petite and cute type, lively and active appearance looks like a small furry hamster. It's just, eating is not an option, in this scenario.

Ziongzong put down his book, checked the seating chart, went to her desk, and tapped on her desk with his knuckles.

"''It's Haramura Kana-san, right?

"Yes, what is it, substitute?"

While Ziongzong was talking to her, she was still eating the apple she had pulled out from nowhere.

"During morning reading, you can't eat in class. ‘’

"But I'm hungry."

Haramura Kana looked at Ziongzong with an innocent face, but Ziongzong, who had stopped her from eating, seemed to be wrong. When he trying to stop Kana, another girl showed up.

A girl with long, straight black hair, who was well-mannered.

"Uesugi-sensei, I'm sorry, can you come outside with me for a moment?

This time it was a lady with long, straight hair, who spoke really, really politely, with a dignified and elegant air that Ziongzong could not refuse.

In the corridor, the two stood opposite each other, he with a straight back and a confused face, she nodded and bowed her head, her face like a peach blossom.

Ziongzong knew very well that this had nothing at all to do with the precursor of a confession.

''I'm sorry to disturb you, Uesugi-sensei, I'm called Yata Beisui , a friend of Kana, Haramura Kana.'

The girl who called herself Yata Beisui bowed deeply to Ziongzong, her soft hair poured down with this action, and the shine reflected on it made Ziongzong feel a little dazzling.

"Because Kana has a congenital paranoia about food, so it has always been like this, not because Uesugi teacher you come here for the first time today and want to make fun of you or anything, these are not things, for Kanai, appreciation of food is her life, I hope Uesugi-sensei will understand this little capriciousness of hers, she will not cause trouble to others, and she will do a clean job of hygiene. ‘’

Ziongzong only listened to the first half of Yata Beisui 's long speech, but the second half was a bit distracted, because Yata Beisui 's voice was like heavenly music, and the rhythm of her words was just right, so Ziongzong was fascinated without realizing it.

This is a lady with an excellent education and an outstanding temperament.

"Uesugi-sensei?"

''Well, I'm listening, I understand the situation, so let's start with that.’’

Ziongzong was obviously making up these words, but he had no intention to look deeper into it, but the appearance of this lady gave him a strange thought that the 2(C) was a place where crouching tigers hide dragons.

This was just an inexplicable conjecture to Ziongzong, and what he did not expect was that this conjecture would be verified.

It was just a little different in nature.

--Japanese ancient literature really makes me confused......

Even though he was acting class director, he still had to attend classes, and going back to Ziongzong's own class and attending his own class was just a duty to take time to take care of it after school.

After the first class of ancient literature, Ziongzong was already drunk. The abstract Japanese language and the wonderful, almost bizarre structure of the ancient language made Ziongzong so drained that he didn't understand even a little bit of what the teacher was saying in class.

During the class time, Ziongzong went to the floor where the 2(C) was located and made a round, not entering the classroom, but just looking out of the window at random. The only two things that concerned him were the little hamster, Haramura Kana, who was still eating all the time, and a girl sitting in the corner of the classroom, looking at her book alone, giving her a cold feeling, without even one classmate around her, which gave Ziongzong the idea that she was Ziongzong had the idea that she had been rejected by the crowd.

When Ziongzong thought this, he inadvertently met her eyes.

The indifference is so cold that people would have looked away at first, but Ziongzong continued to stare at her instead.

--The girl he was staring at was concentrating on her book, as if nothing had happened.

Ziongzong felt as if he had seen such a gaze before, but could not remember for a while.

--Is when ......

after the course is very tightly connected, Ziongzong also gradually forget about the incident just now, after all, the sense of vestigial such things, more often than not is a human illusion. The second section is a math class, he stduy a very hard math before in his country so this level of math class, Ziongzong take it easy. The third English class can be generally considered a torture, although Ziongzong can easily handle the level, but the world-famous Japanese accent, really let Ziongzong chills.

After class, Ziongzong took time to think back on his old life and felt really irresponsible about his feelings in math class.

What can drive people to death is not education, but something far above education, but far more trivial than education, and has nothing to do with the country or anything.

The fourth class was physical education, and the class president was giving orders from the podium. Ziongzong was a little curious as to why Yui was only the disciplinarian and not the class president, because if Yui, who was well liked, was the class president, it would be easy to carry out any activity.

"The boys stayed in the classroom to change, as before, and the girls went to the locker room for the second year. ‘’

Ziongzong looked at the ordinary class president and had some subtle thoughts.

--If it were that kind of story, it would be ......

--No, no, no, no, no ！！！！！

-- just a day and a night plus a morning, actually already by Yukino sister poisoning so deep ...... be careful in the future.

Shaking his head vigorously, Ziongzong took out his sportswear. In the physical education class to change into special clothing, can ensure that the student's hygiene and tidiness, and not after the physical education class also wet to continue to other indoor classes, causing colds and other diseases, in this point the Japanese school really do a very good job.

Other than the fact that a lot of boys of the same age were changing clothes in the class without any cover, Ziongzong really had nothing to complain about.

"Uesugi."

When Ziongzong was about to start changing, the beautiful man in the class, who Ziongzong found particularly eye-catching, came over to say hello.

"I'll help you if you don't know anything~"

''......''

Ziongzong really didn't know how to respond to that.

It's just a sweatshirt change, there's nothing to be ignorant of, right? ...... Is the other party going to help him change his clothes by hand? Two big boys, this scene is enough to make people lost their lives just by imagining it.

Changing clothes is not a problem, but Ziongzong's problem is one, the arrow birthmark on the knee fossa, he hopes not to stand out too much ......

"Wow, Uesugi, your birthmark here is so stylish!

''......''

In just ten seconds, Ziongzong was silenced twice by the same person.

Hayamizu Eiji, your presence is enough. Since you are handsome, you should learn to be a little introverted. Don't try to increase the chance of appearing in the scene by grabbing lines unnecessarily.

The boys who had stayed in the class to change their clothes all turned their attention to him.

"Not bad, what's there to be ashamed of."

"This birthmark is not normal, it would be cooler if it grows on your face."

"Why don't we put it on our foreheads? It feels like it could give off some kind of potential power."

......

After Ziongzong became the subject of the crowd, the conversation veered off into areas Ziongzong didn't want to understand.

"So, let's go together if everyone is ready, it's about time. ‘’

The face of Hayamizu Eiji is sharp and angular, with a sunny smile on the corners of his mouth, and he is one of those students with star looks. If the school wants to take pictures of school uniforms, or pictures of students' images, they usually ask for him, right?

And he has leadership among the students, the speech at this moment, is the best expression of his leadership.

Looking back at the few minutes just now, things started off with Eiji taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ziongzong before the other boys came over to him to show their friendship. Although, in this process, there were also people who stood aside and watched coldly.

Ziongzong, who watched all this clearly, pondered his position on the first day of school.

''Er ...... Yamada, you come up and lead the exercise.''

The teacher in charge of teaching physical education is a burly teacher, from the gymnasium, named Yamamoto Takashima, the cross flesh on his face gives the impression that he is not easy to approach, but has a body of enviable muscles, and undoubted athletic ability.

"The students were doing the same warm-up exercises as in China, and since it was a physical education class, the boys and girls were taught separately.

After the warm-up, Mr. Yamamoto instructed everyone to line up on the track.

'After such a long vacation, let's test today to see if your athletic ability has gotten worse.'

As he said that, he took out a form and a mechanical watch (stopwatch).

''That who? ...... Hayamizu, you are in charge of issuing the call here first, and I will raise my hand to start.

"Yes."

In teams of two, the 50-meter dash test began.

People are strange creatures, no, I should say not only people, as long as they are creatures, only in the competition, the strength can be more effective, and therefore the birth of the two-person team test method.

In other words, to show strength, you have to put the other, at least one person, to compare down.

There is a difference between people's strengths and weaknesses.

"Ready ...... Run!

The moment the speedy water shouted down to run, his body already rushed out, not so much waiting for his starting order, but rather counting the rhythm of his shout and pressing his voice to run out.

The slightly long bangs were blown up by the wind, brushing Ziongzong's ears, and sometimes brushing his eyes, the distance of 50 meters whistled by in an instant. The boy who was in Ziongzong's group took a while to cross the line because of his body fat.

"Name."

Yamamoto-sensei asked briefly, while holding a pen.

"Ziongzong Uesugi."

"Six seconds and five."

Ziongzong didn't do his best, but he didn't want to do his best, that's all.

"Wait."

Yamamoto-sensei looked at Ziongzong's face with interest, and because of his exaggerated height of over 5'8" and almost 5'9", Ziongzong had the illusion that he was being judged.

''You go to initiate the running order instead of the Hayamizu.''

The result of the trial was a simple request.

"Hayamizu, it's time to change shifts.

"You're not a slow runner, Uesugi. Are you going to join the track club?

"......"

Ziongzong, after he said that, he remembered that he had considered this idea, and the notice issued by the school also required students to participate in club activities.

"How many clubs can a person join?

Ziongzong asked, just to be safe.

"I don't think there is any precedent of joining two clubs at the same time. ‘’

"That's right."

--

Ziongzong's memory is inserted with the difficult past of being trained by Dean Paranoid. If someone said Spartan had disappeared, Ziongzong would immediately take him to see Dean and let him see the new Spartan version of Paranoid Bald. ......

It was an easy task to initiate the running order after the early run, and Ziongzong would also look over at the girls in his spare time, occasionally smiling when he met Yui's gaze.

After the sprint test, Ziongzong looked at the results of the class and saw that the fastest person was Eiji, with six seconds.

--He didn't just have a good skin, it seemed.

"Nah, Uesugi."

He put his hand on Ziongzong's shoulder and put his face on Ziongzong's shoulder.

"It's free time now."

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Wow, you're really innocent."

"......"

It was the first time Ziongzong had ever been called innocent in his life.

"Come on, let's take you to a nice place."

''Wait, ......''

Before he could finish his sentence, Ziongzong was forced to leave.

An adolescent boy, though he had just played the fool, was more or less predictable.

Through the narrow bushes, you can vaguely see the girls who are in gym class.

The sound of crisp slogans mixed with the tumultuous sound of the leaves came into the ears.

But although it was a desire to fit in with the group as quickly as possible, this kind of behavior was too risky due to the great threat to the shaping of the image ......

Ziongzong held Hayamizu’s wrist backwards and forced him to stop.

''What's wrong, Uesugi?

''I suddenly want to go to the toilet, you go by yourself first.'

After leaving with the most ubiquitous and flawed excuse in history, but also the most irrefutable, Ziongzong walked to the toilet of the school building.

Going to the toilet was a lie, but tidying up was real.

After the 50-meter test, Ziongzong's hair was already completely disfigured, but fortunately the bangs still more or less covered his face, not revealing his face, which was so clean that he could cross-dress between the sexes at will.

On the way back to the playground, Ziongzong bumped into someone at the corner.

The other person fell to the ground with a decisive thud.

Not noticing that there would be other people at this time, Ziongzong had no idea who she had knocked over.

When he looked down, he met her eyes.

Although it said ''she'', it wasn't the beginning of any good encounter.

The fierce eyes were as sharp as a scalpel, as if they would be eaten if they were not careful - an icy gaze full of hostility.

This blatant malice made Ziongzong's original outstretched hand stiffen in mid-air.

Such a girl does not make a second person, is the 2(C) sitting in the corner of the classroom of that zero degree female.

"I'm sorry ......"

While Ziongzong was thinking about how to react, she took Ziongzong's hand and stood up.

Ziongzong turned sideways and tried to say something, but she left on her own, and before she left, she glared back at me. "I'll kill you if you follow me." Without a trace of blood, she conveyed this message with a cold look in her eyes.

--That's a tough girl to deal with ......

Ziongzong just felt that he didn't feel too much of an impact when he collided, but if you think about it, it was because the other party, that is, "she", was too weak, and Ziongzong had some magical Ziongzong had the idea that "she" probably weighed less than thirty kilograms, but that was obviously impossible.

With the whistle from Yamamoto-sensei's mouth, the bell on the school building also chimed loudly.

That was the end of the morning session.

Ziongzong had two issues at hand that needed to be resolved: one was to solve the basic physical problem, that is, eating; and the second was to go to the 2(C) to do his duty as acting class guide.

Eiji Hayamizu and some of the boys in his class invited Ziongzong to join them for lunch, but Ziongzong politely declined, as it was not his wish to gang up on him as soon as he entered the school, and he had other things to do.

The cafeteria was not as crowded as expected, and most of the students preferred to bring bento or eat bread from the welfare club (also known as the shop). At home ...... as soon as class starts, the building is shaken by the sound of footsteps and the sight of a sea of students flocking to the cafeteria is still vivid.

The price of a set meal is mostly between six hundred and seven hundred yen, slightly more expensive than the bento sold in supermarkets outside. But once the exchange rate was converted, Ziongzong couldn't help but feel that it was really expensive.

Ziongzong asked the friendly lady for a box of roast pork and sat down in an empty place with the box of rice.

The rice tasted surprisingly delicious and the portion was generous. Indeed, it takes competition to get good goods.

Ziongzong thought back to the previous school canteen, which was abusive compared to this. But once he consider the price, magically, he can also be relieved.

Ziongzong in the country to go to the school, because the school has only one canteen, but also closed boarding system, students also can not go out, so the meal choice is only one, so the resulting monopoly situation, so that the food in that canteen more and more unbearable. Despite the unwritten rule that "if you eat a bug, you can exchange it for another bowl," the dishes that taste either too salty or too bland, the cafeteria where the signature dishes are bean sprouts cooked in water, pork ribs without meat, scrambled tomatoes without eggs, and rotten leaf cabbage, make people lose the mood to exchange bugs.

Come to the cafeteria is naturally not only eating, eyes or the corner of the eye, are called up to observe the various characters.

The above behavior is not Ziongzong suddenly nervous to come or detective soul outbreak, but after entering the school he vaguely noticed that from time to time there will be strange eyes fall on their own, which is obviously not because Ziongzong looks handsome or something, this is not only he has self-awareness, but also the objective fact.

Then this feeling of being watched, Ziongzong simply linked it with the two second year boys he met in the morning.

Yui is very elegant and beautiful, which Ziongzong knows very well, so it is only natural that some people like her in this school, but Ziongzong does not see her as someone who has a boyfriend, so such a girl coveted by everyone suddenly accompanied a boy to school, more or less cause some trouble is also in the common sense.

So, as Ziongzong expected, saw two figures that looked familiar.

I remember the two guys I met when I came to school with the only one in the morning.

They also seemed to notice Ziongzong, gave Ziongzong a blatant look of contempt and left the cafeteria.

--It seems that Yui is really not an ordinary level beauty...... he has this kind of treatment just by going to school together alone.

If the other person is just looking at him a few times, that's fine. ZIongzong put this matter in his mind for the time being, and adjusted his mind to go to the second class(C).'Class guide!

A short, strong-haired girl blocked Ziongzong's way before he arrived.

"I'm the head of the 2(C) class, Tomono Ito. ‘’

"Oh ......, what's so urgent about coming to see me?

"Excuse me, what's wrong with Mr. Hondo?"

You are really concerned about your teacher, Hondo-sensei, so there are people who care about you, but this is a little late to ask a question.

Ziongzong hesitated for less than a second before giving up on telling the truth that the old man was constipated or had broken hemorrhoids.

"Uh, didn't I say this morning that he wasn't feeling well. ‘’

Generally speaking, such an excuse could be passed off, but this Ito Tomono class president was a "What is the specific illness?

"......"

How could Ziongzong say this?

Although hemorrhoids or something is a common disease of middle-aged men, it always sounds indecent because it is related to the buttocks, so there is always a sense of dirt, although the buttocks it is innocent.

"I'm sorry, I'm not really clear. ‘’

Ziongzong felt it was a bit of a crime for him to give his younger schoolmate such an answer when he knew it, but of course, it was not meant to be a crime in that way.

"I'm sorry to hear that ...... I'm going to organize a visit with my classmates after school to visit Hondo-sensei, will the class guide come with me? ‘’

"I don't want to go to ...... you guys, it's better not to go either, I think Mr. Hondo wants the same thing, he'd rather you guys go to a study session after school and improve together. ‘’

Ziongzong is also considered to be doing his best, as for the woes of Mr. Hondo himself, he can only leave it to fate.

"We're going to have a party for the class president, when will he be avaliable?

I don't see many class leaders who are so like the class leader.

"I don't think so, I'm only covering for one day, and I'm only one level ahead of you, so there's no need to be so dramatic. ‘’

What Ziongzong really wanted to say was, "If you keep talking like that, I won't be able to go to the 2(C) in just one hour of lunch break. ‘’

"You're too quiet, aren't you? ‘’

It has nothing to do with queit.

"I'll do my best to help out, but I don't want to cause any trouble because it's not a formal event.’’

Ziongzong knew that this pretext of refusal was not good at all, and seeing that Ito Tomono was about to speak again, he hurriedly inserted himself strongly, not leaving her an opportunity.

"I'm going to leave now, thank you very much for your proposal, Ito-san. ‘’

Ito Tomono opened her mouth but didn't say anything, but apparently she was going to say something back, so Ziongzong left before she could think about it.

The road to the 2(C) was far more difficult than Ziongzong had imagined.

And, after arriving with great difficulty, he found that there was only one person in the classroom.

It was the girl with zero degrees.

Where had everyone else gone, to get close to nature on the grass?

After realizing the situation, Ziongzong decided to have a chat with her to resolve the tension between them. Although Ziongzong also does not feel that he has done anything excessive to her.

It's just that ...... finding a topic to chat with a girl is not an easy task, and never will be. Ziongzong gave up after a minute of hard thinking, paced to the window and pretended to be looking into the distance, while actually sneaking out his seating chart to look at the name of the zero-degree girl.

Ziongzong, who had been pushed to this point by this girl, really felt lame.

--Katagiri Mai.

So the name was known, but the situation didn't change in a turning point. Ziongzong, who was just pretending to look at the scenery, had to look at the scenery for real, feeling that he needed to side-step the problem and rely on other students to solve the tricky relationship problem of Katagiri Mai.

Through the window, there was a good view of the atrium of the school, as well as the alley beyond the school gate.

In the atrium, a huge banyan tree was planted, the age of which could not be determined visually. Around the banyan tree, a circle of gray granite was laid, giving the tree an extra touch of solemnity -- only not. Inexplicably, I felt that the tree was surrounded by a peachy pink-pink atmosphere, probably the best place for countless people to choose to confess their love.

--!

Although Ziongzong's senses are not advanced detectors, he still perceived those slight anomalies in the air flow behind his ears (after all, the ears are a sensitive zone), he reflexively tilted his head away, and then saw a paper ball flying past his eyes, hitting the window with a crunching sound, and landing on the table beside Ziongzong.

This is the time to decisively look for the source of the launch.

Looking back, Ziongzong found a fierce girl in the corner of the classroom against the corridor, staring at herself viciously. Obviously, she is the ice-point villainess, the girl named Katagiri Mai.

But in this autumn breeze autumn color pleasant a leaf know autumn spring orchid spring flowers autumn moon season, Ziongzong can not show weakness.

So Ziongzong put on a face like "What's wrong?

"I'm in the way!’’ She replied with an expression like this.

Ziongzong looked around and thought there should be nothing to see ...... Do I have to say blocked the air.

--Not good, felt a strong killing aura.

Well ...... probably feel it.

Anyway, for the sake of small life, Ziongzong took a few steps to the side, what he could block should also only the view outside the window.

Sure enough, after he moved away, the murderous aura was gone at once.

Out of curiosity, Ziongzong looked back again and found that the fierce girl was gone.

Uh, no.

To be exact, it was because the impression left by the fierce expression just now was too deep, resulting in not recognizing the current her at once.

"So cute”She had such an expression written on her face, her fierce expression had been stretched out, and her delicate features were that of an above average beauty.

--But what exactly she is looking at ......?

Ziongzong looked out the window again, except for the very large banyan tree, there shouldn't be any special scenery.

Out of curiosity, Ziongzong blocked her view for a moment.

"You are in the way!" Her eyebrows knitted together and the wicked expression returned.

Ziongzong moved away meekly.

"So cute ......", the expression.

Ziongzong blocked it again.

"Go to hell!

Ziongzong moved out of the way.

"So cute! ......", the expression.

Ziongzong blocked again.

"I'll kill you." The expression.

--Eh?

When Ziongzong came back to his senses, a ballpoint pen without a cap, the tip of the pen towards his forehead, flying straight over - at a speed that could be stuck into Ziongzong's skin.

In the nick of time, Ziongzong caught the pen with his fingers.

--This is going to kill me ......!

Seeing Ziongzong catch the pen, Katagiri Mai frowned, glared at Ziongzong and left the classroom.

So, Ziongzong was the only one left in the classroom.

In the middle of the day, where have all these schoolchildren gone?

Ziongzong lamented, the next ballpoint pen just flying around between his fingers, the empty classroom, always saddening. The actual job that Mayumi Araki assigned to Ziongzong is mostly to be a vase, but hardly any real work. In this way, Mayumi Araki will push this matter to Ziongzong, generally speaking, it is also clear. ‘’

Mayumi Araki, who is afraid of trouble, Ziongzong, who is at her disposal, and the morning encounter are probably the three main elements that determine Ziongzong's life today.

--First day.

Ziongzong, who had figured this out, was unburdened and pulled a chair at random to sit down, his eyes full of despondency.

The wind, lightly brushing, chased through the windowsill, chasing in this empty classroom, resting on the boy's shoulder, but not playing together, because they don't live in the same world.

The sunlight slants and casts spots of light on the floor, mapped on Ziongzong's eyes, into a memory of the past.

If you go back to the class at this time, the third graders who are already standing in the entrence exam are not able to have the relaxation and elegance of the first and second graders. The goal is the same, the original intention is also the same, but, what can be reached, what can not be reached, to separate, will happen here. Perhaps, the third year will envy the ease of the first two years, but this envy, is the envy of looking down, is the top-down envy, contradictory envy, on the contrary, the first two years of students, will also look up to the third year students who are about to transform, the same mood of envy, but from the bottom up, look up to the envy, through the corner, will forget the envy, can pay a smile envy.

At what age to do what age, this is the right thing to do, it is not?, it is just necessarily so.

Ziongzong hands of the pen, still turning.

The first time to a foreign country this heart, still can not find a home, restlessness.

The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.

Outside the classroom, the corridor, the stairwell, the sound of footsteps gradually more, Ziongzong realized that the lunch break has been few and far between.

Getting up from his chair and stretching, Ziongzong put the ballpoint pen back on the girl's desk, Katagiri Mai.

He didn't understand why the girl was hostile to herself, but in the end, it was something that didn't intersect, a life that wouldn't intersect, once the day was over then.

So, he just thought of going along with the natural perfunctory past.

Ziongzong can basically imagine what kind of pattern the wrinkles on his forehead will form and what angle his big bald head, when the paranoid dean receives his death notice, will refract the dazzling sunlight.

What a ridiculous scene it would be.

After an hour's lunch break, Ziongzong was listening to the history of the Japanese warring states in his 3 (A) classroom.

Listening to the military generals who were loyal to their country, not to their personalities, and listening to their stories, Ziongzong's mind recalled the Chinese history of the generals who entrusted their lives to someone other than their country, and a slight bitterness of regret arose.

This onlooker's regret was relaxed, and after this relaxation, the hell for Ziongzong descended as expected.

"The next class is house keeping, because the location of the class has changed, everyone should pack up and come with me. ‘’

Featureless male monitor random made oral notice, House keeping is to lead people to special classrooms, to a certain extent already jittery chung, the bottom of the procession, rely on to imagine something else to send yourself down, he imagined if is 2 (C) of the shortness of breath hair younger sister, the monitor of the class monitor, Ito, a friend is, It would have been a lot more interesting if she had been the monitor at Grade 3.

-- House keeping ...... House keeping ......

The diversion of attention is not a permanent solution, the face of things is still waiting for Ziong Zong. There was no sound, but Ziongzong's heart was constantly breaking these evil words.

At this time, there is no use blaming cultural differences.

One can only pray.

--Buddha, please don't let me meet "that"!

"Hey, Yamamotaro."

Someone tapped Ziongzong on the back, but the name he said was not Uesugi, and Ziongzong probably knew who it was before he turned around to see who it was.

'Don't go to House keeping class, there's something for you to do.'

Mayumi Araki, with a righteous look, took Ziongzong's shoulder.

"You've got the wrong person, I'm not Yamamotoro ......"

Ziongzong replied and tried to pull away, but Mayumi Araki clamped his arm down and couldn't move.

"Damn, I personally came to you, and this is your attitude? ‘’

"......"

Ziongzong just stared at her in silence, if she showed weakness here first, it would be much harder to raise her head again.

After a few moments, all the students who had gone to House keeping class had already left, leaving Ziongzong and Mayumi Araki in the hallway.

"Okay, what's your name again?"

With not much time left before class, Mayumi Araki gave up her hand with an unhappy expression, and here Ziongzong had won a small victory.

''Uesugi Ziongzong, this is the third time.''

"Really, it's the third time, but I still feel that the first time I heard this name, I can only blame your name's existence is too weak. ‘’

"......"

Ziongzong didn't want to discuss with Mayumi Araki about her memory here, because Ziongzong thought she would probably be in trouble if she got older and her memory got worse.

"Then, what do you want from me?"

Ziongzong deliberately used a respectful word to express his displeasure.

''You are now going to the 2(C) to finish the last class with them, there may be some safety issues, so I asked you to go over and supervise, that's all, let's go first, remember not to cause trouble for me''

But Ziongzong's mealy-mouthed attack was completely ignored by Mayumi Araki, the two of them had a considerable gap in rank and were not qualified to form an adversarial relationship.

Without waiting for Ziongzong to answer "yes" or "no", Mayumi Araki left in style, leaving behind Ziongzong, who was looking at her back.

-- The revolution is not yet complete, and the future is very bumpy.

Even so, Ziongzong, who thought he had escaped the House keeping class, could not help but show a trace of happiness.

When Ziongzong appeared in the last row of the 2(C) transfer group, his face was ashen.

The small stream of warmth of joy that had previously escaped the House keeping class had long since gone up in smoke.

Because, at this moment, the class that the 2(C) was about to attend was House keeping class.

--House keeping ...... House keeping ......

Ziongzong's heart began to break again, at this time, blaming cultural differences is really really useless at all.

I can only pray again.

--Buddha, please don't let me meet "that"!

"Wow ...... your expression is so pious ......"

A lively voice came from the side of Ziongzong. The one who was spitting at Ziongzong like that was the little hamster of the 2(C) who couldn't stop eating, Haramura Kana.

"Kana, you'll be troubled by the class guide. ‘’

Next to Haramura Kana is the owner of the hamster, Yata Beisui ...... It's a bit too much to say the owner of the hamster, so let's say the relative of the rodent ...... still feels weird.

"I'm looking forward to it, I'll be able to eat Chinese food made by the substitute. ......''

The hamster's remark almost made Ziongzong die on the spot.

"Wait, wait a minute! Why am I related to Chinese cuisine?"

"Aren’t you a transfer student from China?"

"Why ...... do you know this?"

"Araki-san said so."

--I'm sorry.

--

Ziongzong blamed himself for overlooking the relationship between Mayumi Araki and Katsuo Honda. Since Mayumi Araki could do whatever she wanted with Honda, it was not impossible that the 2(C) was Mayumi Araki's territory... ...

-- ah ...... blunder!

"I'm ...... only here to cover the class today, so I don't plan to go to House keeping class together, I'm just supervising and monitoring you.

"I'm just here to cover the class.

The hamster grabbed Ziongzong's hands and swayed them from side to side without any hesitation, and her voice was so sweet that it could kill you. Ziongzong, who was used to dealing with little brothers and sisters in the orphanage, was completely immune to this tactic.

"She grew up listening to Chinese food, and her biggest dream in life is to go to China and eat the most authentic Chinese food! ‘’

"Then I'll do my best to show you something."

Ziongzong, who claimed to be completely immune to little brothers and sisters, was completely defeated after some words.

The regret can only be swallowed himself one by one.

"The taste is not always good ......'

This is probably Ziongzong's last struggle.

"Delicious ......"

But even if Ziongzong tried to explain, Haramura Kana was already lost in her own delusions.

Thus, the forbidden area that Ziongzong had been avoiding finally appeared before his eyes.

The House keeping classroom felt a bit like a chemistry lab, but of course, without the harsh smell of chemicals. Clean, spacious and bright, that was the first impression. Clean sinks, tabletops, knives, even aprons, all folded and placed on the table. In order to avoid laziness, the layout was set up as a single table for a single person.

"''Well Uesugi-kun, let's use this place! ‘’

Haramura Kana, who had returned from her delusion, excitedly pulled Ziongzong to the front left of the classroom, while Yata Beisui followed behind with an apologetic face. This change of address also represents a change in attitude and intimacy.

There were no chairs set up inside the House keeping classroom, and the students stood in front of their tables, waiting for class to begin.

Along with the class bell, a female teacher pulled open the door and walked in.

With her soft black hair and dignified face, she gave people a gentle feeling. She looked like a virtuous woman who, with a little light makeup, could be a hostess on a TV cooking show.

''Class, salute''

Ito class president Tomono's voice was so clean and crisp that Ziongzong couldn't help but compare her to the passerby class president of 3 (A), and sighed even more at how important a personalized class president was to a class.

"I'm the new House keeping teacher, Rie Honjima.

Ms. Honjima wrote her name on the whiteboard, and the House keeping classroom was specially equipped with water pens and a white writing board to avoid contamination from chalk dust.

"Today I am going to teach the use of equipment and making cold dishes of fruits and vegetables.‘’

Ziongzong was completely relieved to hear this.

--Thank the gods that I didn't have to meet ''that'' on the first day.

Contrary to Ziongzong's joy, Haramura Kana, who was standing next to him, became deadly pensive, as the little hamster's coveted meal of Chinese cuisine was gone all of a sudden, and her resentment at the fact that the cooked duck had flown away was on the verge of exploding.

The good thing is that there is still a cold plate of fruits and vegetables to cool down the little hamster.

After spending more than ten minutes and finishing the instructions on how to use the equipment, Mr. Honjima took out the vegetables, fruits and seasonings from the refrigerator and, after a brief instruction, asked the students to start making cold dishes.

The classroom, which was quiet, was suddenly bustling with activity.

But beside Ziongzong, there was a low-temperature area.

Haramura Kana had a sad face as she cut the vegetables in her hands, senseless. The vegetables became thin under the ravages of the cold kitchen knife ......

Noticing Ziongzong's gaze, she looked back with a face full of resentment, causing Ziongzong to get chills and goose bumps all over her body.

"''Uh ...... Haramura, I'll try to make cold dishes with Chinese flavors of fruits and vegetables.

"Really? ‘’

--I don't know if a cucumber in sauce or something like that is considered Chinese food. ......

Just a simple promise of a Chinese cold dish brought Haramura Kana back to life, and looking at the excited little hamster, Ziongzong just had to work hard. The food is very good.

Although there are all kinds of vegetables, the seasoning seems to be incomplete for cold cucumber.

Ziongzong scanned the ingredients, and a lotus root came into view.

--Make lotus root salad.

Ziongzong selected two fresh lotus roots, filled a small dish with vinegar, took half a cup of green beans, a bottle of milk, and some mustard, and returned to his seat.

'' ...... peeled ...... cut into thin slices ...... soaked in vinegar ......''

Ziongzong borrowed from the The memory of the orphanage a little bit to restore the operation, while Haramura Kana stood next to, full of happiness to do the explanation.

"I said, Haramura, is it okay if you don't do it?

''Eh? Never mind never mind ...... I just need to eat.''

I glanced at the other side of the Yata Beisui, is a happy expression of the fruit cold plate, looks like for two people.

It's really hard on her, raising such a hunger little hamster.

Ziongzong pulled his attention back and put the soaked lotus root into the pot along with the vinegar, heating it slowly over low heat and waiting for the water to boil.

''Eh? Isn't it meant to be a cold dish?'

Haramura Kana looked at Ziongzong in confusion.

"Then do you want to eat this?

Ziongzong put the remaining small piece of unprocessed lotus root in front of her eyes, and Haramura immediately took a half step back.

"Wait if you want to eat it. ‘’

''Yes ~~~~''

After ten minutes, white smoke began to rise from the water, Ziongzong picked up the lotus root, squeezed out the water by pressing it properly with a spoon, and put it into the prepared dish.

Next comes the seasoning.

Add the wasabi, green beans and lotus root to the milk and after stirring evenly, it's done.

Although the ingredients look a little scary, it actually tastes great and is perfect for a pre-dinner appetizer.

The above words are only Ziongzong's personal opinion and do not represent any opinion about taste in this article.

"Let's eat and see. ‘’

Haramura, who was waiting for Ziongzong's words, had his left hand on his right hand and his right hand on his left hand, and his eyes were glowing.

"I'll start ~~~~"

Without even using chopsticks, Haramura Kana picked up a piece of lotus root with her hand, put it in her mouth and chewed it.

--I didn't expect her to eat so carefully, but I thought she would be a gobbling type.

"Is it ready?"

The voice from behind me was the soft voice of an older woman, Ms. Honjima.

"Can I taste it?"

"Yes, please taste it."

Unlike Haramura, she used her chopsticks gracefully and picked up a piece of it, and even the act of putting it into her mouth carefully added to her image.

"It tastes so special."

--I don't know whether to praise or criticize ......

''Uh, I added milk and wasabi to it ......''

Hearing the word wasabi, Honjima-sensei's eyebrows raised slightly.

"What a novel taste, it's delicious."

"Eh? Really?

"Well, keep up the good work."

With a light smile, Honjima-sensei walked towards the other students, when Ziongzong felt someone tugging on my coat.

Turning back, I found it was Haramura Kana.

''Uesugi-kun ......''

---Why are you looking at me with teary eyes?

"...It is delicious."

- It's not that touching, is it? ......

So Ziongzong himself took a piece and put it in his mouth... ...Well, it tastes good, but it's not even close to the dean's wife.

At this time, from the back of the classroom floated a black smoke over, turned around, found a number of pots are out of the black smoke, the prisoners are basically boys.

Thanks to them, the inside of the classroom became a pandemonium all of a sudden.

--Eventually what is doing cold dishes, can be made like this ......

Ziongzong then remembered his duties as a class guide, rushed over to the scene of the crime, but in fact nothing happened, just this group of 'kids' do not know how to control the fire The children did not know how to control the fire, and they "bleeped" some fruits and vegetables that needed to be cooked.

"Would you like to try my special loofah?"

"

......

The warmth of the group was more than Ziongzong could have imagined, and it was as if Ziongzong had been with them for a long time, not just the first day... ...But no matter how familiar they were, Ziongzong didn't have the courage to taste the charred and unidentified objects they were serving in their plates.

"Wait, wait! Ziongzing-san, eat my fruit platter! ‘’

In the midst of the melee, Tomono, the head of the class, forcefully intervened, and Ziongzong took a glance at the 'work' in her hand and couldn't connect it to the 'fruit platter' for a while.

In fact, Ziongzong had always thought that even though it could be arranged in a bad way, the fruit platter should be without difficulty.

However, the ...... fruit platter in Tomono Ito's hand turned Ziongzong's common sense upside down.

Although you can see that it is a mixed platter made of apples and pears, but who can explain, twisted around the flesh of the fruit, a strip of black, unidentified worm-like stripes is what?

"...... How about you guys taste each other? ‘’

After dropping these words, Ziongzong withdrew from the battle line and retreated to a corner of the classroom.

At this moment, he just saw the whole picture of the whole classroom, everyone was running around with their own cold plates, all over the classroom, ''inviting'' their friends and family to try their cold plates. Inside the cold plate,...... well, although it is said, cold plate, but why black chunks of carbon particles everywhere, fruit cold plate words do not need to fire, right?

That "'invitation", how to look at it is "'forced" ah.

But even though their own work was transferred to each other as poison, everyone had smiles on their faces, and it was more like playing than making cold dishes.

After being forced to eat a little, many people collapsed in their chairs with the expression "this person has died of poison", and then people passing by put a label on their foreheads saying "It is dead" ......

This is still a House keeping class ......

"What a bunch of kids! What a bunch of kids."

"Isn't that nice?"

At some point, Mayumi Araki stood next to Ziongzong, her hands in her pockets, leaning against the wall, her gaze very gentle. The students of this class are not her direct subordinates, but in her eyes, as long as they are students, they can reflect the splendid splendor of neon without distinction. She had a rare warm smile on her face, with light dimples and clear lips that warmed the heart.

"The first thing you need to do is to behave like a kid, or else my discipline will be wasted.’’

This is the first time Ziongzong has seen such an elegant Mayumi Araki, both in terms of her mature temperament and tranquil appearance, making Ziongzong change his mind about her.

"Look at yourself, you little brat! ‘’

Noticing that Ziongzong was looking at her, Mayumi Araki immediately put away her smile and glared at Ziongzong.

"Remember, you owe it to me, you have a great opportunity to meet your youger students openly, not everyone can have such a great opportunity. ‘’

After saying these words in a straightforward manner, Mayumi Araki left behind a stunned Ziongzong and left.

--What the hell!

--Not even a word of thanks, really ......

-- really ......

Obviously very angry, Ziongzong could not think of a scolding. Ziongzong could not think of words to scold this rogue female teacher, but explained to himself that this was the magnanimity triggered by his own forgiving uncle's heart.

The place that she has changed within herself for her is selectively ignored by Ziongzong.
