This is a new dish that Yuu Watanabe made today.
The bright red soup looks spicy, but its taste is actually not that spicy at all. On the contrary, it goes well with rice, just like scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Especially the flavorful cucumber and beef, they are absolutely amazing.
"reluctantly?"
Watanabe Yu shoveled a handful of rice into his mouth.
"Why reluctantly?"
The Saint Lady looked at him curiously.
"Based on my understanding of Takakura, this kind of date is more like deepening the understanding between her and Kiriyama." Watanabe Yu gave his opinion frankly, "To be honest, if it's fast, in my opinion, it will have to be next year, right?"
Maki Takakura is the type of person who is slow to warm up. Although she looks cheerful, she is actually a very delicate person.
"Maybe it will be faster."
The Saint Lady blinked.
She knew that Kiriyama Hema's grandfather had helped Watanabe Yu, and as a result, her impression of Kiriyama Hema improved a lot.
Personally, she hopes that Mr. Troll's friend can get what he wants, and it would be best if he can have better development in the future and become the president of a new large company.
In this way, Mr. Troll's career will undoubtedly be more successful.
"uh-huh."
Watanabe Yu responded casually.
"By the way, have you ever thought about the previous study session?"
Taking advantage of the temporary end of the previous topic, Yuki Hayakawa followed up with this sentence.
No matter what the inexplicable complex emotions in her heart were, she didn't intend to care about it for the time being. The most important thing at the moment was that she urgently needed a reason, a reason that would allow her to appear in the Watanabe family frequently like Hamabe Ryoko and Amemiya Ayana.
The study session mentioned earlier is undoubtedly the best solution.
"I have considered it, but I really can't spare the time mentioned before." Watanabe Yu paused, "If I remember correctly, it should be after the school trip. I was still moving that weekend."
"……Yes."
Yuki Hayakawa nodded, but she started to think in her heart.
Regarding the previous study session, she asked Maki Takakura to ask about it from the side, but Maki Takakura said at the time that Hamabe Ryoko was not available and Watanabe Yuu was not available, so the plan was dropped.
At first, she just thought that Hamabe Ryoko had to work part-time and Watanabe Yu was busy with something, so they just happened to run into each other.
It seems that since the school trip ended, Hamabe Ryoko has shamelessly moved in with Watanabe Yuu.
Tsk.
Hamabe-senpai is really good at sneaking away.
"As for holding a study session now, we have to ask their opinions." Watanabe Yu raised his eyebrows and motioned Hayakawa Yuki to ask Hamabe Ryoko and Amamiya Ayana for their opinions. "Anyway, from my side, everything is fine. The minority should obey the majority."
——At least in this matter the minority can obey the majority.
After all, there wasn't much work left for him.
After the summer vacation began, his copying progress was rapid. Of course, compared to the crazy copying of Dongfang Yongye during that period, there was still a gap. After all, there was plenty of time now and he could take his time. Of course, having said that, in fact, the overall progress of "Kafka on the Shore" did not slow down, and it was still moving forward steadily. At present, only the last 20,000 words were left to finish.
"What do you think?"
Yuki Hayakawa turned around and looked at Hamabe Ryoko and Amemiya Ayana with anticipation.
"As for me..." Hamabe Ryoko glanced at Hayakawa Yuki apologetically, "I've been busy with my part-time job at the convenience store since the start of summer vacation."
She personally doesn't want any more people in the family.
Even if you look at it from another perspective, multiple people at home can effectively contain it, right? In short, it can delay the attack of the Saint Lady, but at the same time, it will also delay her attack.
For now, the current situation is relatively appropriate.
"I see. Then, where's Ayana?"
Yuki Hayakawa nodded in understanding and turned to look at Ayana Amamiya.
"Sadly, I don't actually have any vacation time."
Amemiya Ayana pursed her lips and gave Hayakawa Yuki an apologetic look.
She is not stupid and will not find things to do for herself.
The reason why she could accept Hamabe Ryoko was because she needed someone to help her look after Mr. Troll. After all, they were not in the same school.
"It won't actually take up too much time, and you can also take this opportunity to meet new friends. They all have a pretty good relationship with You."
Yuki Hayakawa fought for it.
She knew that Ayana Amamiya was special to him.
"I'm so sorry."
The Saint Lady shook her head, not moved at all.
From the perspective of simply reaching out to Mr. Troll's social circle, there are plenty of opportunities, and there's no need to cling to 'study sessions'.
She could meet Mr. Troll's friends for any reason.
Moreover, judging from Yuki Hayakawa's attitude, it is obvious that this study session is not something that can be completed in a day or two.
Of course, she didn't lie.
Although she has moved out 'temporarily', she still has to complete the courses and tasks that she is supposed to complete.
"……All right."
Yuki Hayakawa looked away with a hint of disappointment.
How to say it, although she had thought about being rejected when she asked.
But when she was actually rejected, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
There was a brief silence at the dinner table.
"Yuki, how's your music practice going lately?"
As if she realized that the atmosphere was not right, Hamabe Ryoko coughed lightly and brought up a new topic.
"So-so..."
And so, the three girls at the table continued chatting.
*
At 9:40 in the evening, after leaving Watanabe's house, Yuki Hayakawa got into the car her mother came to pick her up.
"How was dinner? Did you do as mom asked?"
Naoko Hayakawa turned on the lights in the car and turned her head to look at her daughter who was fastening her seat belt.
“…Dinner was delicious.”
Yuki Hayakawa fastened her seat belt with a 'click'.
"what happened?"
Naoko Hayakawa keenly sensed that something was wrong with her daughter's mood and asked with concern.
"Mom, am I useless?"
Yuki Hayakawa lowered her eyebrows, feeling inexplicably depressed.
In the second half of the dinner, she suddenly realized what was wrong.
Then she would review the story in her mind until she was watching TV after dinner.
But... the more she reviewed it, the more scared she became.
It turned out that she was being led by Amamiya Ayana without realizing it.
Her information was discovered by the person who tapped on the side.
As for information about Ayana Amamiya, she only knew that she was a young lady and her family was quite wealthy, and that was all.
Indeed, she had mentioned once or twice that she wanted to know about the other party, but both times were pushed aside by Ayana Amamiya with quite a skillful push.
The rhythm of the entire conversation was firmly controlled by the other party.
The funniest thing is that during the conversation, she was still feeling proud of herself and felt that she was very good and was able to take control of the topic.
"Why do you say that?"
Hayakawa Naoko asked in a gentle tone.
"Even though you've already told me, mom, I still... fell for it." Hayakawa Yuki sighed, "There's one more opponent, and she's much harder to deal with than Ryoko.
"Comparatively, Ryoko is really okay. Amamiya Ayana really doesn't make people feel her 'flaws'."
Having said this, she seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She raised her head, closed her eyes, and lay down completely in the passenger seat.
"Can you be more specific? It's this Amamiya Ayana."
There was a hint of thought in Hayakawa Naoko's eyes.
"She really understands what you said, mom." Hayakawa Yuki paused, bit her back teeth unconsciously, and then slowly loosened her teeth as if relieved. "She used her actual actions to tell me how to put the words you told me into practice, but I... had no idea."
"Oh, you mean, you met an opponent stronger than Ryoko, is that what you mean?"
Naoko Hayakawa withdrew her gaze, turned off the lights in the car, focused her eyes back on the road, and started the car.
"……Yes."
"Doesn't this just prove that you have good taste?"
Naoko Hayakawa gently stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove smoothly on the residential road.
"What do you mean?"
"If Watanabe wasn't that good, there wouldn't be so many outstanding girls around him, right?"
Naoko Hayakawa's tone was very calm.
“…That’s true.”
Yuki Hayakawa lowered her eyebrows.
"So, are you planning to give up now?"
Hayakawa Naoko asked.
"Certainly not."
Yuki Hayakawa shook her head without even thinking about it.
She was just a little disappointed. If she was asked to give up, she couldn't do it, or rather, she was unwilling to do so.
"So what should you do?"
Naoko Hayakawa began to persuade her step by step.
"Think of a way, there will always be a way."
Yuki Hayakawa took a deep breath, raised her hand, and gently patted her cheek.
Just like the confrontation with senior sister Ryoko, she can always find a breakthrough.
"That's right."
Naoko Hayakawa chuckled and said the second half of the sentence calmly.
"You can first summarize what you think is the invincible 'opponent'. What are her strengths and weaknesses? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Then, follow this line of thought and conduct a comparative analysis."
As long as the gap is not too exaggerated, such as cold weapons fighting against hot weapons, generally speaking, there is always a chance.
But she definitely couldn't say such things to her daughter at this moment, as it would dampen her courage.
Now she has to encourage.
Anyway...
“You can make many mistakes, but as long as you do it right once, that is progress, and the gap will slowly narrow with these improvements.”
Naoko Hayakawa continued to encourage her.
"Until the dust settles, there is always room for maneuver."
