Kiana Needs a Good Scolding
Fu Hua was completely bewildered as she was dragged away, but she didn't dare to struggle too hard for fear of hurting Mei and Bronya.
So why drag her along?
"This is what they call sharing joys and sorrows, squad leader!"
Adhering to this principle, the two locked Fu Hua without further ado.
Who told you, the unassuming guy, to sneak out the most times?
As for Himeko?
Mei and Bronya weren't worried at all that Kiana would give Himeko any help.
Do you even know what a "super torture king" is?
"There are also bowls and chopsticks, so you can take them with you. If you get hungry, you can eat a few bites. You can also pick up a few more bites of food."
Looking at the three girls, Liu Bai had a bad feeling.
... Or rather, confidence in Kiana?
This girl has a knack for unintentionally tormenting people.
"..."
Bronya and Mei's lips twitched when they heard Liu Bai's "thoughtful" instructions. Then Bronya silently instructed the Project Bunny to take away their bowls and chopsticks.
After the others entered the bedroom, Himeko opened the door for Kiana.
"Himeko- sensei, why are you taking so long to open the door?"
After Himeko opened the door, Kiana walked into the living room with practiced ease—in some ways, Kiana was more familiar with Himeko's house than with her own dormitory.
"Could it be that she's planning to disown me as a student after the final exams?" Kiana looked at Himeko suspiciously.
"..."
Himeko's lips twitched.
That's so true...
I'm getting high blood pressure from grading all your papers!
Mother! Mother... Never mind, I have to teach my students even if it means crying.
Himeko's anger subsided after seeing Kiana's silly face.
"... No, I was cooking just now."
"You? Oh no, I meant Himeko- sensei, you cook... um..."
Kiana's limited knowledge prevented her from finding a suitable euphemism.
Kiana's sabotaging and ignorant attitude made Himeko even more annoyed.
... Although Kiana's statement wasn't entirely wrong from a certain perspective.
So many years have passed, and Himeko is no longer the girl who blindly believes she can cook well.
Congratulations! Congratulations!
But the inability to refute it makes it even more frustrating.
"Wow! This is so delicious! This... did you really make this, Himeko? Or did you order takeout?"
"Kiana, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you out."
"But... alright."
Kiana, who had originally wanted to say something, immediately shut up after feeling the pressure emanating from Himeko.
"But Himeko- sensei, can you eat all of this?"
Kiana's eyes grew increasingly suspicious.
Something's not right. I feel like something's not quite right.
Sniff, sniff.
"Where did you come from, you little dog?"
Himeko, unable to bear it any longer, tapped Kiana on the head.
"Hehehe..."
Kiana chuckled awkwardly and shrank back.
"Just kidding, Himeko- sensei, you really have no sense of humor."
"I'm really sorry that your teacher can't understand your timeless sense of humor."
Himeko said with a stern face.
"Speaking of which, given your personality, why did you suddenly come here? Let me make this clear beforehand: I don't accept gifts. And don't expect me to give you any extra points."
Although the girl had already passed, that didn't stop Himeko from scaring her.
"Exams are over and done with."
Kiana seemed to have come to terms with it.
"My family ran out of instant noodles, and Mei and Bronya said they were tired, so after thinking about it, we came to ask Himeko- sensei for a free meal!"
This girl has such a thick skin...
Himeko's lips twitched slightly, but in the end she didn't kick them out.
With Mei and Bronya hiding in the bedroom, Himeko was happy to cause them some trouble.
"Alright, since you're already here, go get your own bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen."
Himeko said casually.
"I knew you loved me Himeko- sensei!"
"... You brat."
Seeing Kiana's rapid change of expression, Himeko pouted.
"I really hope that one day you'll come to me with good news... Tsk, why do I always feel like I'll never live to see that day?"
I'm such an idiot, I finished writing yesterday and went to sleep, I forgot I hadn't posted it...
Chapter 215 Kiana Needs a Teach
"... They seem to be having a really good time chatting outside."
Mei, hiding in Himeko's bedroom, pressed her lips against the door, listening to the conversation outside, her lips twitching.
Well... you can imagine how upset Mei is right now.
"He reaps what he sows."
Fu Hua offered a fair assessment while eating.
Mei and Bronya are probably classic examples of shooting themselves in the foot.
"Squad leader, aren't you just reaping what you sowed?"
Mei looked at Fu Hua was leisurely shoveling rice into her mouth, and felt a little depressed.
"???"
She didn't do anything right, did she? What does that have to do with the phrase "reaping what you sow"?
It's clearly the two of you who's causing trouble, isn't it?
Fu Hua felt quite wronged...
"Because you always sneak away, Bronya and Mei dragged you here."
Bronya explained very considerately.
"Running away? No, I think you've misunderstood something, Bronya."
Fu Hua pushed up her glasses and retorted.
"My feelings for Teacher Liu are simply one of respect and affection."
"Respect is also a form of love."
Mei said without changing her expression.
She would never allow Fu Hua and Liu Bai to be together at this time, no matter what.
"... Speaking of sneaking out, isn't Himeko- sensei a bit more serious in this regard?"
Realizing she couldn't persuade Mei, Fu Hua began to shift her focus.
"It's alright, Himeko- sensei will definitely be too busy dealing with Kiana."
Mei said calmly.
Kiana will pester Himeko with all sorts of questions, but she will never pester Fu Hua.
After all, Fu Hua's aura makes people subconsciously avoid disturbing her.
... So this is what is meant by "transcending the mundane world"?
Fu Hua shoveled down two mouthfuls of rice in frustration.
Although she was a little unhappy... or rather, unwilling, she felt that Mei's words made a lot of sense.
Glug...
At this moment, Bronya and Mei's stomachs also started growling.
After all, these two had been taking exams all day, and it was lunchtime, so it was only natural that they felt hungry.
The two subconsciously looked at the two bowls of rice in the Project Bunny's hands.
"... So many dishes, and in the end there are only two bowls of rice?"
Bronya's voice was full of resentment as she thought about the delicious food on the dining table in the living room.
"One bowl is enough." Fu Hua had almost finished the bowl of rice in her hand.
She wasn't particularly attached to food...
"Wow! This sweet and sour carp is so delicious!"
Kiana's voice rang out at that exact moment.
Even Fu Hua couldn't help but twitch her lips at this moment.
This Kiana...
After all, Fu Hua is no longer an emotionless immortal, but a real "person".
"... Keep your mind clear and pure, so as to prevent evil spirits from disturbing your mind."
"Squad leader, did you come across the wrong movie with that line?"
Bronya gave her face and retorted—though Fu Hua didn't really want to complain.
"And there's also this braised pork slices! And braised lion's head meatballs..."
Glug...
Mei and Bronya both swallowed hard.
The two of them had worked in the kitchen before, and they knew how delicious Fu Hua's cooking was.
Mei acknowledges Fu Hua's culinary skills.
"... How about we go out and find a way to stun Kiana?"
Hearing the faint smacking sounds coming from outside the door, Mei couldn't help but make a suggestion.
She even smacks her lips while eating! This Kiana is going too far!
"That silly Kiana can be quite alert sometimes."
Although Bronya was quite interested in the proposal, she wasn't very optimistic about it.
