"I see, it seems we lost."

"You two are so long-winded," Ibuki a dark face. "Shiina, you weren't like this before!"

"That's just because you haven't noticed it, Ibuki."

Shiina had a smile on her face, and you couldn't tell at all that she had just teased Ibuki.

Yes, even the cunning Shiina is cute.

"There's just one last bit of decoration to do, come and help!"

With that, Ibuki grabbed Shiina's arm and pulled him into the house, leaving Shiina completely outmatched.

"By the way, where did Ryuen go?"

Although he was clearly the store manager, Ryuen was not in the store at the moment.

"It seems that Ryuen went to check on Class B."

"Class B?" Shuichi Kanda raised an eyebrow. Class Sakayanagi, huh? "I'll go check it out then. Good luck, you two."

Seeing Shiina being pulled along by Ibuki, Shuichi Kanda waved goodbye to him. Shiina also waved back twice before being pulled into the classroom by Ibuki.

On the third floor of a special building, the furthest from the school gate and a place most people wouldn't frequent, three classrooms were set up for people to set up stalls. Despite its remote location, Sakayanagi managed to book all three classrooms at once.

Several cardboard boxes were scattered around, their contents obscured. The students in Class B didn't seem to be taking anything out, and they were wearing their usual uniforms.

It's basically impossible to tell what kind of show the other side will be doing, but Shuichi Kanda wasn't surprised. These guys are still up to no good and are thinking of overthrowing the higher-ups and getting back into Class A.

"Kanda, you don't seem surprised at all."

The newcomer was Masayoshi Hashimoto from Class B, who was considered one of Sakayanagi's right-hand men.

"Hehe, there's nothing to be surprised about. There's only one day left until the official Cultural Festival. No matter how you try to hide it, you'll show your true colors tomorrow."

"Oh? Doesn't Kanda want to prevent us from getting first place?"

Shuichi Kanda glanced at Hashimoto and a slightly mocking smile appeared on his face.

"As the Student Council President of this school, I value the smooth running of the Cultural Festival more than a difference of 100 Class Points, so put away your little schemes."

After Shuichi Kanda understood, Hashimoto looked somewhat embarrassed. Could this man really read people's minds?

At this moment, Ryuen came out of the classroom inside, put his hands in his pockets, and walked over here.

"Oh, the Student Council President is here for an inspection."

"Hehe, I was just worried you'd cause trouble for the other classes."

Ryuen's opening remarks were anything but pleasant, prompting Shuichi Kanda to retort.

"You're making it sound like I'm some heinous villain."

Isn't that so?

Watching the two of them descend the stairs, exchanging sarcastic remarks, Hashimoto's expression was somewhat complicated.

Upon returning to the second floor, the two passed by the kimono restaurant of the Ryuen class again.

"What a coincidence, we even managed to run into each other here."

Shuichi Kanda was referring to their shop, of course. Both could be considered concept cafes, but Shuichi Kanda's shop mainly sells coffee and black tea, while Ryuen's shop is entirely Japanese-style dim sum and sweets.

"Hehe, what a coincidence!"

They didn't think there was a traitor in their class, because it was simply unnecessary.

"However, those weird cosplay costumes in your class must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"It's alright. Kimonos aren't much cheaper than cosplay, and you've added maid elements to your kimono. Why not just change into a maid outfit directly?"

"This is purely a hobby of mine."

Ryuen made a joking remark and then went into the store.

"Heh, it's just your hobby, isn't it? "Shuichi Kanda scoffed, then returned to the Class A cafe.

Shuichi Kanda had only gone out for a short walk when he returned Kushida Class A's café, and the moment he appeared, Shuichi Kanda immediately ran over and pulled Shuichi Kanda inside.

"We're about to open for business. As the major shareholder, does Shuichi have anything to say?"

Almost all the clothing and decorations for the students in this classroom were reimbursed by Shuichi Kanda. Although he was not involved in the planning and operation, as the one who paid for it and also the pillar of support, everyone looked at him expectantly.

"Well then, I hope everyone has a great time!"

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, the group exchanged bewildered glances, then someone took the lead, and almost everyone burst into laughter.

Even Horikita, who was usually serious, showed a slight smile.

As soon as Class A's café began its trial operation, a lot of people came. However, these guys were more interested in seeing the girls' different outfits than dining there.

But this is for the best. After all, if we can't even handle the classmates we see regularly, wouldn't it be even worse if we encountered the staff of the Shopping Street or customers from outside the school tomorrow?

It was clear that everyone was nervous. Even Matsushita, who had initially proposed opening a maid café, seemed a bit nervous, and her movements were quite stiff.

Wang Xiaomei and Sato were much clumsier than when they practiced before.

However, Wang Xiaomei's outfit was quite interesting. She wore a cheongsam on top and a short skirt on the bottom, and her hair was styled in two buns, making her look very cute.

However, compared to their nervousness, Kushida and Kamuro didn't seem nervous at all. They were both calm and composed, and did everything in a very organized manner.

However, Shuichi Kanda the most was Sakura and Hasebe.

Sakura, who is usually so shy, is behaving so gracefully and confidently right now, even more so than Hasebe.

Seemingly noticing Shuichi Kanda's gaze, Sakura also looked over and then gave him a bright smile.

Hasebe walked over, a sly grin on his face, and said...

"How about that? Were you surprised?"

Shuichi Kanda deep agreement, feeling as if he had become a completely different person.

Even students from other classes were whispering and gossiping.

"Is this person from Class A?"

"I don't know, I don't think I've ever seen it before."

On the other side, Matsushita quickly adapted and performed much better than at the beginning. Subsequently, following her lead, Sato, Wang Xiaomei, and others gradually calmed down and returned to their usual practice level.

After seeing that things were almost done, Shuichi Kanda left. After all, as the backbone of the class, even though he didn't participate in the class-wide Cultural Festival program.

But he still wanted to visit various places.

At the entrance to the school, many classes chose to set up stalls, imitating the stalls of festival vendors. Shuichi Kanda saw many familiar items.

Examples include shooting games, ring toss games, or games where you can shoot marbles using a handmade stand to win prizes.

Then, Shuichi Kanda also saw a game of scooping goldfish.

No, do you really think this is a temple fair?

However, Shuichi Kanda didn't care. For him, the more diverse the projects, the better. They not only enriched the students' spiritual development but also satisfied the guests from outside the school.

"Hey, Shuichi, would you like to try our cooking?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Yukimura and the other boys from the Sotomura were already prepared; a plate of takoyaki was almost ready.

Judging from their nimble movements, you could tell these guys had definitely practiced a lot in their dorm rooms.

"Then one will do."

"A generous offer of 500 points."

500 points— Shuichi Kanda didn't know if that price was expensive or not, but the fact that they set that price showed they were confident in their skills.

So Shuichi Kanda paid immediately and received a serving of takoyaki in return.

Well, while it wasn't the most delicious, it was still pretty good. After all, the ingredients were all fixed, so as long as the cooking time was just right, it would be fine.

"Hmm, it tastes pretty good."

"Of course."

Chef Hondo smiled with satisfaction. He was the one who proposed the idea, and the subsequent planning was also the result of his research.

Therefore, he felt very satisfied and proud to receive affirmation from others.

"Hey, junior, you're shopping all by yourself? That's strange. Aren't any of your girlfriends bothering you?"

Of course, there was only one person who would speak to Shuichi Kanda like that Fuka Kiryuin from Class 3-A. This girl was quite troublesome.

Although Shuichi Kanda had taught her a lesson before, his Black Belt was no longer around his waist, so Shuichi Kanda was no match for her.

Moreover, startled by the sudden action Shuichi Kanda accidentally swallowed the still-hot takoyaki in his mouth.

Hot!

After eating, Shuichi Kanda took a few deep breaths to cool down.

After calming down a bit, Shuichi Kanda glared angrily at Kiryuin, who was grinning slyly.

"Don't you know that people shouldn't be disturbed while they're eating? Especially not something as hot as takoyaki."

"I see."

Kiryuin nodded, and then, to Shuichi Kanda's stunned gaze, the other party actually reached out and pried open Shuichi Kanda's mouth, then looked inside.

"It's alright, it's alright. There's no burn inside your mouth. I'll treat you to a cold drink, and you'll feel better right away."

Standing to the side, looking at the ferocious Kiryuin, Yukimura and Hondo felt a sense of déjà vu. Could this person be related to that guy Kouenji by blood?

However, seeing her long silver hair, which was completely different from that of Kouenji, made me give up the idea.

Shuichi Kanda hand, simply laughed in exasperation.

"Is this all you're going to do to me? Not even an apology?"

"I'm sorry, how about I go shopping with you? Consider it an apology."

"You wanted to go shopping, didn't you?"

"What's the big deal? Such a cute senior is accompanying you shopping, so don't be unhappy about it!"

As he spoke, Kiryuin took a toothpick directly from Yukimura's stall and then snatched a takoyaki from Shuichi Kanda's hand.

Shuichi Kanda was completely dumbfounded by this series of actions.

"Hmm, it tastes pretty good."

Kiryuin nodded, then pulled Shuichi Kanda away.

Watching the two leave, the group exchanged glances and then shook their heads simultaneously.

As expected of Kanda- kun!

Chapter 357 Senior Sister

The stroll continued, but this time Shuichi Kanda was no longer alone; he was accompanied by a beautiful white-haired upperclassman, Fuka Kiryuin.

This guy, despite being the beautiful and mature type, insists on saying he's the cute type.

"Hmm, not only the takoyaki, but these fried chicken nuggets are also pretty good. Would you like to try some?" Kiryuin, picking up a piece with his fork and placing it near Shuichi Kanda's mouth as he ate.

Shuichi Kanda was speechless at Kiryuin's actions; this guy had really gotten on his nerves.

Then, Shuichi Kanda opened his mouth and ate the fried chicken nugget she handed him.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that Shuichi Kanda wants to eat it, but rather that if he doesn't, who knows what he might do.

Just now, Shuichi Kanda. Although he wasn't afraid of embarrassment, the other party seemed to have an even thicker skin.

This is definitely not the attribute of a cute girl!

Moreover, it also delayed my shopping trip...

Therefore, Shuichi Kanda chose to compromise for the time being.

If it weren't for the fact that it was in a public place and would have been inappropriate, Shuichi Kanda would have definitely given her a good beating in any other location.

However, how should I put it? She appears aloof on the outside, but her behavior is so different, which is kind of adorable.

"Huh? There's such a game?"
