"One try? I tried ten times and still couldn't get it!"
"That person... is it still Shin-hyun's Kitahara Hakuba?"
Students from other schools turned their attention to the character and recognized Kitahara Hakuba, who had recently become very popular.
Who's that person next to him? His girlfriend?
"Judging from their uniforms, these two are his students, right?"
"Trying to treat two students as girlfriends? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"That's great! I'd heard before that Shin-Asahi's teacher, Kitahara, would take his students out, but I never expected it to actually be true!"
Kitahara Hakuba was mentally prepared to be recognized, and he pretended not to hear some of the baseless rumors.
However, Eri Kanzaki, who never cared about others, had her face flushed red at this moment.
It's clear that being mistaken for his girlfriend was a huge emotional shock for her.
"Teacher Kitahara! I want one too!!"
Kuno Tachibana activated her "cuteness" skill, pestering Kitahara Hakuba to catch one for her too.
Kitahara Hakuba continued to put coins in, and after a short while, "Toyokawa Shoko" fell out.
"Amazing! Kitahara-sensei, you're a genius at claw machines!"
Kuno Tachibana excitedly stomped his feet and reached out to grasp the doll with both hands.
Unlike Kanzaki Eri, who cherished the doll like a treasure, the first thing she did was, like an old man, lift up the doll's skirt and say with a frown:
"That's it. ::::"
What more could you want from a plush toy...? If you want something exquisite, I suggest looking at figurines; some can even be undressed.
After playing in the arcade for a while, it was almost time for dinner.
The sky was a deep crimson hue, and the sea in Hakodate Bay was also tinged with the colors of dusk.
Kitahara Hakuba took the entire "AveMujika" group and two girls to a restaurant called "Begirama" to eat soup curry rice.
The chicken curry soup here is Kitahara Hakuba's favorite, and it's also a popular item at this restaurant.
Kanzaki Eri took the initiative to sit next to him, which made Kuno Tachibana's expression somewhat unnatural.
"What would you like to eat?" Kitahara Hakuba asked, flipping through the menu. "Don't be shy, order whatever you want."
Kanzaki Eri placed her hands flat on her thighs, gazing tenderly at his profile, and said:
"Me too."
"Two chicken curry soups, two fried rice dishes, and what about Kuno-kun?" He handed over the menu.
Kuno Tachibana didn't even look at the menu and said directly:
"Just like Kitahara-sensei."
"Those three are the same, hmm..." Kitahara Hakuba pondered for a moment, somewhat worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat, "And another order of rolled sushi, shark fin soup, pork skewers, pickled eggplant, and seared flounder—"
After ordering the food, it was served in a short while. Each dish looked small, but the table was filled with food.
"Teacher Kitahara, isn't this too many?!" Kuno Tachibana took out his phone, ready to take pictures to show his mother.
"As long as I enjoy my meal, that's all that matters. I really like eating here," said Kitahara Hakuba.
"What a huge chicken leg!"
Kuno Tachibana picked up a chicken leg that was half the size of her face, and looked curiously at the bowl, saying...
"Carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkins, and what's this? An egg?"
Kitahara Hakuba looked at Kanzaki Eri beside him and asked:
"Can you get used to eating it?"
"Hmm..." Kanzaki Eri placed one hand on Kitahara Hakuba's thigh and whispered, "I will try my best to become like you."
Kitahara Hakuba felt a wave of comfort wash over him, the warmth of the girl's hand radiating from his thigh.
Is this behavior normal?
Kuno Tachibana's slightly immature face looked towards the two of them, his tone carrying a hint of suspicion more than usual:
"Teacher Kitahara, you and Kanzaki-senpai have known each other for a long time?"
"No, I only met everyone in the brass band when I joined the company," Kitahara Hakuba answered honestly.
Kuno Tachibana wrapped the chicken leg's tailbone in a tissue, took a bite, and questioned it without any hesitation:
"Then why are you so nice to Kanzaki-senpai?"
?
Chapter 188, Section 187: It needs to be considered, because it's a lifelong matter (4K)
Although it was inside the store, it was still quite hot, and Kitahara Hakuba's slightly protruding Adam's apple throbbed.
"Kuno-san, I believe I've been very kind to everyone in the brass band, and Kanzaki-san is also a member of the brass band."
"But don't you think it's strange that you and Kanzaki-senpai came out alone?"
The voice coming from Kuno Tachibana's mouth was very urgent.
The warm air caressed Kitahara Hakuba's neck. His expression was bright, and he smiled knowingly, saying:
"Do you think it's strange that I'm willing to go out alone with Kuno-kun?"
"Hmm::"
"
Kuno Tachibana appeared hesitant, his bright eyes darting around, his voice slowly fading into the somewhat noisy restaurant.
::
I see."
Kitahara Hakuba smiled warmly and said, "Kuno-kun, if I really do become strange, then you should put me in a cannon and shoot me to the moon at an extremely high speed, without any excuses."
"I'd rather not send Kitahara-sensei to the moon," Kuno Tachibana grinned.
To what extent should she believe Kitahara-sensei's words?
Even if Kitahara-sensei has no feelings for Kanzaki-senpai, does Kanzaki-senpai really have no feelings at all?
Kuno Tachibana shifted his gaze, focusing instead on the surface of the soup in the bowl, where rings of tomato-colored oil floated.
wrong.
She understood that Kitahara-sensei was an adult, and hiding one's true feelings was an adult's specialty.
He must have known that some girls in the department harbored deep feelings for him, but he often used the same lines as usual to lightly gloss over them.
Kuno Tachibana tried to expose the adult's "hypocritical" rhetoric, but ultimately couldn't utter a single word.
If she said it, it would definitely embarrass Kitahara-sensei, which is not what she wants.
Feelings of helplessness and frustration rippled through the depths of his heart, making Kuno Tachibana increasingly agitated. All he could do was gulp down his drink.
“Drink slowly. If you’re full from just drinks, ordering this much will make me look stupid,” Kitahara Hakuba said with a smile.
Kuno Tachibana ran his fingers through his bangs and said:
"It's okay. If Kitahara-sensei and Kanzaki-senpai don't want it, I can pack it up and take it home to eat."
Kitahara Hakuba glanced at her, his long, slender fingers, veins bulging, gripping the glass as he said:
"Kuno-kun."
"Ok?"
Good luck with the audition.
Seeing this, Kuno Tachibana also picked up her glass and gently clinked it against his:
"Kansaki-senpai? Good luck!"
The girl's smile was reflected in Eri Kanzaki's warm-eyed eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the cup as well.
Cheers!
"cheers."
?
After dinner, Kitahara Hakuba paid the bill at the front desk.
"Teacher Kitahara, you brought your students to dinner today?" the waitress at the front desk said with a smile.
Because I often eat here, the staff here are somewhat familiar with Kitahara Hakuba.
"Yes, we happened to run into each other on the way."
"So cute, that one with long hair."
"My students are all lovely."
"Haha, you're really showing off."
Kitahara Hakuba smiled, and while waiting for his change, he suddenly felt something touch his palm.
He turned his head and saw Eri Kanzaki standing beside him. He pursed his lips slightly and said:
"Can you take me home?"
The sensation I just felt was like her little finger.
"I need your 310th door."
"Thank you." Kitahara Hakuba took the change and put it in his wallet, then looked around and said, "No problem, where's Kuno-kun?"
Eri Kanzaki let out a weak groan from her throat to her nose, her eyes drooping as she said:
"Never mind her, we've already paid, can't we just leave?"
In her eyes, Tachibana Kuno's appearance seemed untimely, and even somewhat troublesome.
"It's okay, I've been to her house before, the mains power should be on the way."
