This wasn't a matter of being stingy. He was simply looking out for himself.
But since Miku had made it, perhaps he could give it a little try.
At the very least, Miku wouldn't poison him, right?
So Su Yang agreed to let Miku add miso. She put the miso into Su Yang's pot.
"Then, Classmate Su Yang, have a taste." Miku handed him a small spoon.
"It tastes awful..." Su Yang only took the slightest taste before he wanted to throw up.
"Mm." Miku merely nodded seriously at his reaction. "Then I won't add any to mine."
"..."
So she had been using him to test for poison?
"Yotsuba called me, so I'll go over first."
Perhaps worried that Su Yang would get angry, Miku quickly headed toward Yotsuba, who was chopping firewood.
"Nakano Miku is pretty cute too." A boy's voice suddenly sounded from Su Yang's right.
The voice wasn't unfamiliar.
It was Maeda Minami, who had asked Ichika out yesterday.
"What are you talking about?"
Ichika noticed them.
But Ichika probably didn't know Maeda. Otherwise, she would have immediately known that Maeda had confessed to her yesterday.
But it really had only been Maeda's one-sided infatuation.
Maeda had started liking Ichika because she had picked up something he had lost and returned it to him.
But Ichika had never taken it to heart, so she didn't remember him at all.
Yet he had remembered it all this time.
The gap between them had instantly opened wide.
"Ah... Ichika—"
"Um..." Maeda sprang to his feet, flusteredly wanting to say something, but Ichika was called away by someone.
His face fell again.
"Eh, forget it." Maeda sighed. "President Su Yang, I understand."
"To truly love someone is to bless them."
"Sure enough, Ichika doesn't like me."
"I understand that."
