They Gather Here

Luo Zhen sat back beside Hiratsuka Jing and stopped talking.

Yukinoshita directed the other two girls to continue the process, while she quietly added some cocoa powder to the batter and stirred it again.

This action is very hidden, but it was still seen by Luo Zhen.

He looked away awkwardly.

"Why do I feel that the air is filled with sweetness?" Hiratsuka said suddenly.

Cocoa powder is supposed to be bitter.

Luo Zhen sniffed, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Really?"

He is very confident in his sense of smell and thinks he can't smell it wrong.

Unexpectedly, Shizuo Hiratsuka just smiled and shook his head, passing the topic away without answering directly.

Luo Zhen always felt that there was something in the teacher's words.

He wisely did not ask any further questions, and returned his gaze to the cooking table.

Add ground almonds, freshly squeezed cherry juice and cherry brandy to the batter, and mix again to combine.

At the same time, Kato Megumi took out the refrigerated egg whites, added a small amount of salt, and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks were formed.

Next, naturally, the batter is mixed with the egg whites and stirred.

The whole process was done under the supervision of Yukinoshita.

Luo Zhen could still find a lot of flaws. He believed that the taste must still be unpalatable, but compared to the first time, it was much better.

"It's time to go into the oven." Yukinoshita said, "I'll handle this step."

"Okay." Ying Lili and Kato Megumi replied at the same time.

Yukinoshita nodded, poured the mixture into the mold, put it in the oven, adjusted 170 degrees, and set the time to 40 minutes.

Now, just wait quietly.

The three girls all showed varying degrees of nervousness.

Luo Zhen can understand him very well, their feeling that they are about to face execution.

He remembered that the first time he cooked, he made scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Because too much sugar was added, the soup was so thick that the eggs almost turned into bananas.

The feeling at that time is indescribable, but in short, quite uncomfortable.

There must be a lot of pressure on these girls, right?

Luo Zhen sighed with empathy.

He got up from the seat, walked straight to the back door, and asked at the same time, "I'm going to buy drinks, what do you drink?"

Ying Lili: "No need."

Yukinoshita: "Vegetable juice."

Kato Megumi: "I'm with you."

The atmosphere in the classroom became anxious.

Almost for an instant, Eri Ri and Yukinoshita looked at Kato Megumi at the same time.

The latter didn't realize it: "I don't know what to drink, so I want to go down and have a look, or else, Luo Jun, you stay here and I'll run errands?"

How to answer this question?

When Luo Zhen was wandering, Hiratsuka Shizuo appeared like a hero: "You guys will accumulate infinite pressure when you stay here, so go out and relax, I'm here to watch."

As expected of a teacher.

Burn others, light yourself up!

Luo Zhen rolled his eyes, thinking about it: "Teacher, I'll stay, anyway, I didn't participate in the making of the cake, so I don't have any pressure."

"No!" unanimously ×3.

"You should have known it would turn out like this." Hiratsuka Shizuo showed a helpless smile.

If you're just looking for a vending machine, there's no need to go down to the atrium.

The four came to the third floor of the special building, and then walked up the open-air passage connecting the ordinary building, where they bought drinks.

Only Yukinoshita insisted on choosing vegetable juice, and the other three bought coffee.

They leaned against the railings of the platform, sipping while looking at the sky.

Even though it's almost May, it's still a bit cold in the evening in Tokyo, and if you're standing here just wearing your school uniform, you'll still frown.

Even so, looking at the clouds in the sky, Kato Megumi still suggested: "Let's go upstairs later, shall we?"

The other three joined in.

They sipped their drinks while looking out at the atrium below the open passage.

Just then, there was a sudden noise.

Seeing the crowds, hundreds of students poured out of the gym, whispering, excited, or bowing their heads.

Thousands of people.

"It's so lively." Ying Lili muttered to herself.

"Yeah." Yukinoshita glanced at his watch, "It should be the student organization's preaching completed."

"There's no way."

"Yes, that is the character of our school."

As a higher education school directly connected to top universities, the High School Affiliated to the Faculty of Engineering of Donggong University has a lot of recommended places, but this situation has brought about more severe competition.

Therefore, most students will make a relatively "utilitarian" choice - join a student organization.

Under such great competition, it is impossible for each student organization (especially the student union) to accommodate everyone. Therefore, science and engineering societies will become the second choice of many "ordinary people", while those with athletic talents will Join a sports club.

As for art societies...

Take your hands off the keyboard and type GG.

This is simply a vicious circle!

Subconsciously, Yukinoshita was a little upset and frowned.

"Xiaoxue, we'll be fine, don't worry." Kato Megumi reassured, "Don't~ worry~ worry~ oh~"

Looking at her concerned face, Yukinoshita forced a smile and decided to change the subject.

"How about the art department?" She turned to look at Eiri, "Sawamura, your recommended quota should be fine, right?"

When it comes to the art department, Eiri's expression is a little subtle.

Then, she shook her head as if to shake off her troubles, and her ponytails hit the railing in front of her.

"What?" Yukinoshita was a little surprised.

"It's nothing." Ying Lili shook her head, "Even if I'm not in the art department, I can choose any art university in Neon territory."

"You are very proud."

"I didn't hear the sarcasm, so it was a compliment."

"It's really a compliment." Yukinoshita admitted generously, and was a little puzzled, "Speaking of which, why did you join the neighborhood committee?"

Want to tell the truth?

Admit that you just want to eat Luozhen's food?

Or……

"The art department..." Yingri spit out half a sentence like sleepwalking, but she quickly woke up and changed her tone, "The art department is not very busy."

This girl really can't lie.

Luo Zhen and Yukinoshita looked at each other and looked at Kato Megumi in unison.

Kato Megumi just shook his head.

Is the meaning of this shaking his head "I don't know" or "I have to keep it a secret"?

The two are unknown.

Clearly, now is not the time to open up.

Luo Zhen felt that this should be the end.

He shook the coffee can in his hand and found that it was empty, so he asked, "Let's go back?"

Yukinoshita and Kato Megumi agree.

Ying Li Li said, "I haven't finished drinking yet, do you want to accompany me?"

The three nodded.

￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥

Possibly afraid of the upcoming Black Forest cake, Eiri drank coffee quite slowly, like a waste of time.

But the canned coffee is only 180ml, even if you take a sip and spit it out, 40 minutes is enough to get it done.

In this way, the four of them set off on their way home and returned to the door of the home economics classroom together.

At this point, the sound of the oven running was no longer heard.

Luo Zhen probed into the classroom and saw Hiratsuka Jingzheng wearing heat-insulating gloves, taking the cake out of the mold.

He opened his mouth and shouted, "Old..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Riri grabbed him and said, "Look at it for a while."

Observed?

Luo Zhen was a little confused.

He cast his eyes back into the classroom, but did not expect Hiratsuka Shizuo to carefully break a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.

then……
