After coming out of the pottery shop, Asahina Nazuna saw the dessert shop next to him and immediately grabbed the boy's hand.
"Junior, there is still a little time, let's go enjoy dessert."
The two of them ordered a small cake and sat by the window. You took one bite and I finished it one bite at a time.
Asahina Nazuna didn't look at the time this time, he just smiled and handed the last piece to the young man's mouth.
"Junior, this is how our date is complete. Now let's go to a seafood restaurant for dinner."
"Okay."
The two of them arrived at the seafood restaurant they had made an appointment with. The girls also arrived one after another, and the originally empty seats were quickly filled.
Everyone had a great time in the morning, and after sitting down, everyone still had endless things to talk about.
The restaurant also moved very quickly. In less than ten minutes, the large seafood platter was served to the table.
"I'm starting."
The girls cheered, clasped their hands together, then picked up the tableware and enjoyed the seafood on the table.
Kitagawa Kai took a few bites, and when he raised his eyes, he keenly noticed that Tachibana Akane diagonally opposite was holding crab scissors, dazed with no idea what to do.
A portion of shelled crab legs was placed in front of her, with a slender fork beside it.
She moved the crab scissors closer to compare, and then changed the angle, but it seemed that she couldn't find a suitable starting position.
Tachibana Akane feels a little confused.
Most of the crab meat she usually eats has been processed, so she has never used such a tool.
She raised her eyes slightly and peeked to the side to see how others were using it, but at this moment, others were eating other dishes.
After hesitating for a moment, she didn't want to look too clumsy, so she gently put the crab scissors back on the side of the plate, and picked up a chopstick to garnish with it as if nothing had happened.
Kitagawa Kai had a clear view of her embarrassment.
He originally wanted to give a demonstration directly, but the girl opposite had already looked away at this time, so she might not notice if he did it rashly.
With a thought in his mind, the young man picked up the crab scissors on the table, turned sideways and asked Horikita Suzune beside him in a natural tone, "Suzune, how do you make this thing? Show me to me."
Hearing these words, Tachibana Akane, who was diagonally across from him, was indeed attracted to his attention and quietly looked over.
It turns out that Kai-kun can't do it either!
Thinking of this, the little embarrassment in her heart instantly disappeared.
It seems that there is nothing embarrassing about not being able to use such an unfamiliar tool.
"Bring it to me."
Horikita Suzune took the crab scissors with some surprise, picked up a piece of crab leg, and motioned for him to see it clearly.
"Cut along the edge of the shell, being careful not to cut too deep. After opening, use this small fork to take out the meat."
As she explained and demonstrated, Kitagawa Kai leaned back slightly, cleverly giving up her field of vision so that Tachibana Akane diagonally opposite could see the whole process clearly.
Not long after, a whole piece of crab meat was placed on the small plate in front of him.
"That's good. Just check to see if there are any remaining broken shells before eating."
"I learned it, thank you teacher Suzune."
"You will be able to do this kind of thing once you read it."
Horikita Suzune returned the tool to him and continued to eat his own.
Tachibana Akane also picked up the crab scissors again and followed the demonstration just now, carefully cutting open the crab shell.
It turns out... it's not as difficult as imagined.
She successfully took out the crab meat and was about to dip it in the sauce, but suddenly she remembered Chef Sanji who listened carefully to the boy's instructions last night.
Even the chef has to ask him for advice with a pen and paper. Does Kai-kun really not know how to use this crab scissors?
Tachibana Akane raised his head and met the gentle gaze of Kitagawa Kai.
The young man smiled at her, and without asking any further questions, he turned to pick up what the others were saying.
Tachibana Akane I understand everything.
It turns out... he just saw everything.
He just hesitated for a while holding the tool, and then he noticed her embarrassment carefully, and in the name of asking for advice, he calmly helped her out, even taking care of her self-esteem.
Tachibana Akane looked at the young man, the smile in his eyes gradually deepened, sweetness filled his heart, and he even forgot to put the crab meat in his hand into his mouth.
"Senior Tachibana, what's wrong with you? Is it not to your liking?"
Ibuki Mio next to her saw her holding the crab meat in a daze and suddenly asked.
"Ah... have something to eat."
Tachibana Akane came back to his senses, his pretty face turned red, and he lowered his head with a concealing smile, "I just suddenly thought of something."
Ibuki Mio nodded, then continued to pick up the fish on the plate and ate it.
When Tachibana Akane slowly finished tearing down the remaining crab legs, Ibuki Mio finished another bowl of curry rice like a storm.
It wasn't until the food on the table was almost eaten that Ibuki put down his chopsticks, leaned back on his chair, and couldn't help but burp.
"Hiccup~"
She raised her hand to cover her mouth and sighed with satisfaction, "Huh... the quality of life these days is so good!"
"Are you so happy eating?" Amikura Mako covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Of course! This table is full of high-quality high-quality protein. If I can eat these every day in school, I will soon catch up with Suzune!" Ibuki Mio raised his chin happily and declared boldly.
"Haha, have you just started having such unrealistic daydreams after you've just finished eating?" Horikita Suzune said calmly.
"And why are you still thinking about this kind of thing when you go out to play?"
Ibuki Mio puffed up his chest confidently. "Is there any problem with this? The success of a truly strong man is all made of drops of hard work!"
Speaking of this, she looked at Kitagawa Kai with a bit of admiration. "Kitagawa-kun is like this, and you Suzune should be like this too."
Suddenly being crowned with the aura of "hardworking and diligent" in public, Kitagawa Kai felt secretly happy and blushed a little.
Although it's really nice to be praised by a beautiful girl for being self-disciplined in public, the problem is...
I obviously relied on 99% of my talent and such a trivial amount of hard work.
Kitagawa Kai laughed dryly, "Haha, actually I didn't work that hard..."
"Kitagawa-kun, you are too humble, there is no need to belittle yourself!"
Ibuki Mio's eyes were firm and he spoke categorically, "Although I haven't seen you training much these past few days, I firmly believe it."
"Every Advanced Nurturing at four o'clock in the morning, you must be in your room silently sweating your hard work!"
"Cough cough... cough!"
"Cough! Cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, violent coughing could be heard on the dining table.
The girls all blushed and almost choked on the tea in their mouths.
Sweat is sweat.
Hard work counts as hard work.
It's just that this training method is different from what Ibuki Mio thought.
"Why do you all react like this? Did I say something wrong?"
Ibuki Mio looked at the people who reacted with a puzzled look, frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "You can't just let me praise you just because Kitagawa-kun is your man, right?"
Seeing that the topic was getting out of hand again, Tachibana Akane, who was sitting next to him, couldn't bear it anymore.
She quickly picked up a pair of clean new chopsticks, quickly picked up a piece of duck breast, and stuffed it straight into Ibuki Mio's chattering little mouth.
"Okay, okay... I beg you, shut up and eat meat!"
