Only Good Food and Watching the Drama Unfold Must Never Be Let Down
I really wanted to ask him what happened, but lacking confidence in my speaking skills, I ended up contacting Mai- chan instead.
All I could do was use music to help him soothe his emotions.
Throughout my life so far, I have come to a profound realization of my own foolishness.
Unlike my junior brother's many talents, I only have confidence in my music.
Absolute self-confidence.
When it comes to music, I won't admit defeat even to my junior brother.
Playing music did indeed improve the junior student's mood.
But he always wore a worried expression.
Even if he tries to hide it, I can still tell.
But... there's nothing I can do.
I think that's something my junior brother has to figure out for himself.
I can only support him silently from behind, and use music to relieve his stress when necessary.
If I had to say one thing to my junior brother to support him...
I think I would say it like this:
I'm right here.
Section 373, page 355: Only good food and excitement are worth enjoying.
When Shuya woke up, it was already three in the morning.
When he woke up, he found his palm was warm and being held by something soft.
He turned his head and saw his Little Senior Sister sitting on the floor, her upper body slumped on the sofa, fast asleep.
Her face was near Shuya's head.
And her hand held Shuya's hand firmly.
"Little Senior Sister..."
Shuya murmured softly.
"Hmm... Shuya- kun..."
The Little Senior Sister murmured in her sleep, "Sheet music... can't be eaten..."
"Of course I know that."
Shuya sighed. "What kind of dream are you having?"
He reached out and tapped his Little Senior Sister's cheek in retaliation.
Then he broke free from his Little Senior Sister's hand, quietly got up from the sofa, picked up Little Senior Sister slender body, and carried her into her bedroom to put her down.
He then went back to the sofa and slept for another two hours before quietly leaving his Little Senior Sister's house.
After replenishing his Little Senior Sister's resources, Shuya was fully recovered.
He flew back home.
Having just finished sleeping, he naturally couldn't fall back asleep, so he practiced his sword before dawn, something he hadn't done in a long time.
He practiced in the garden, waving his hands through the First Snow, working up a light sweat. After taking a shower, dawn finally broke.
He had intended to make breakfast, but when he saw the cookies on the table, he remembered that he hadn't eaten any of the cookies Yuigahama had given him yesterday.
He ate it for breakfast while watching TV.
Not long after we finished eating, the doorbell rang.
Shuya used his Power of Will to probe and was surprised to find Yukino standing outside the door.
He went out to open the door and asked in surprise, "What brings you here?"
I think it's better to keep an eye on you for the next few days.
Yukino crossed her arms and stared directly at Shuya.
Overnight, her emotions completely reversed.
My surprise turned into a strong sense of responsibility.
She feared that her rash actions might remind Shuya of something, causing him to impulsively do something wrong.
Yukino glanced at Shuya, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Am I just imagining things? Why do you seem... to be in such good spirits?"
Shuya laughed and said, "Hehe, I went to my Little Senior Sister's house yesterday."
"I see. It seems I don't need to put in any more effort."
Yukino understood:
"Then let's go to school."
"I haven't changed into my school uniform yet."
"I'm waiting for you."
"... Then you can come in first."
"Um."
Yukino entered Shuya's house. He went to his room to change into his school uniform and quickly came downstairs.
He went out with Yukino.
Yukino arrived very early; there were hardly any students on her way to school these days.
Therefore, they were not surrounded by onlookers.
The two entered the school gate, changed their shoes, and slowly went upstairs. Just before they were about to part ways, Yukino hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you... coming to the club today?"
Shuya shrugged. "We'll see."
"Hmm... I understand."
Yukino and left.
"What do you understand?" Shuya asked, puzzled.
He walked into the classroom and sat down.
"Good morning."
"Morning."
... The above conversation had nothing to do with Shuya; it was just other students greeting each other.
Shuya was just playing on his phone by himself.
After a while, a sound came from the side; it was the Yellow Hair from next door returning to the classroom.
He was a member of the Soccer Club and had just finished his morning practice and was taking a shower.
"Good morning."
After hesitating for a moment, the Yellow Hair took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Shuya.
"Hmm? Hello?"
Shuya glanced at him with a puzzled look, then nodded.
"Yesterday... you and Yukinoshita..."
The Yellow Hair guy seemed quite curious as he asked the question.
Shuya replied nonchalantly, "I went on a date with her yesterday, so what?"
"No, it's nothing. You and her... no, it's all over now."
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Oh."
Shuya replied casually, not caring what he wanted to ask, nor interested in pressing for an answer.
... He just felt that the Yellow Hair was dangerous.
Despite having many suitors, she has never been involved in any scandals. Instead, she keeps trying to talk to Shuya, which makes Shuya feel uneasy.
Fortunately, the Yellow Hair didn't have time to ask him anything after that.
After he appeared, the "normie group" centered around him instantly assembled and began to chat and laugh noisily, completely disregarding the feelings of others.
Yuigahama what Shuya had said before, so she lowered her voice at first, but quickly forgot and returned to her normal voice.
They argued for a while, then finally went back to their seats to prepare for class.
Shizuka Hiratsuka is still not here today.
... Just how heartbroken was she?
Shuya continued to clasp his hands together in his mind.
With the Gorilla no longer at school, Shuya quite comfortable, spending all his time looking at his phone until lunchtime.
Shuya, who decided to avoid Uesugi for the time being, didn't go to the cafeteria today but went to the convenience store to buy bread instead.
He bought a pork chop bun, a sandwich, and some snacks like chicken nuggets before returning to the classroom.
Shuya originally wanted to eat somewhere else, but unfortunately it started raining and there was no sign of it stopping.
I had no choice but to go back to the classroom.
This made the classroom much livelier, as students who would normally eat lunch outside gave up on doing so.
Shuya returned to the classroom, he heard the commotion from the "normie group".
He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should find another empty classroom to eat in.
But he quickly changed his mind.
He noticed that Yuigahama was acting strangely; she didn't immediately sit down and open her bento box to eat, but hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something to the others.
Shuya's mischievous radar told him that there would be a good show to watch today.
There's no way I can not stay now.
After all, as Lu Xun once said, the only things that should not be missed are good food and watching a good show.
Shuya appeared focused on chewing on his bag and playing on his phone, he was actually Power of Will to observe the neighbors next door.
Golden Hair girl in a popular social group is pestering Yellow Hair to go out for ice cream after school, but the Yellow Hair says he needs to focus on club activities because he seems to be participating in some important competition this year.
Would he rather play ball with a bunch of men than spend time with girls...? The Shuya listened, the more convinced he became of his character.
I listened for quite a while.
Ah~ It hasn't started yet... Shuya thought to himself.
He glanced at Hikigaya, who was frowning, clearly disliking their noise.
As they were talking next door, the Yellow Hair flashed a handsome smile, "Yumiko, you'll regret it if you eat too much ice cream."
Then the Golden Hair retriever spoke to him in a coquettish tone for a few minutes.
Suddenly, the entire group burst into loud laughter.
The Yellow Hair laughed and said, "Just don't get an upset stomach."
"That's why I said! I'm not afraid to eat as much as I want, I won't get fat, Yui?"
