"I'm sure Komekko can learn it." said Domame dissatisfiedly.
"Okay! That's very inspiring, but I'll refuse." Yushan Heren shrugged and said, "You can search for some teaching videos on Niconico, or watch videos on other video platforms, it's actually pretty much the same."
Yui Doma stared at Kazuto Hayama. She had seen all the video platforms that Kazuto Hayama mentioned.
Doma Mai has watched dozens of videos.
I watched the video and thought I had it figured out, but when I actually did it, it was completely different from what I saw in the video.
It’s not that Yushan Kazuto is unwilling to teach Doma Yui, he just simply wants to be lazy. He can learn it by watching the video, so why does he have to teach it himself?
"The scumbag senior ate Umaru-chan's apple, but he was unwilling to teach Umaru-chan how to make chocolate! This is not fair!"
"This is not an equal exchange at all. Judging from the conditions you set, it is unfair in itself. Besides, I bought the apples, not you." Yushan Heren said involuntarily.
"Then...then why were you willing to teach Yasha Shen Tianyi how to play chess when she helped you peel the melon seeds?" Doma Mai snorted, "You bought the melon seeds yourself."
Yushan Heren was a little speechless. This did seem a little unfair. After all, the nature of the two things was the same.
Although the workload of peeling melon seeds is much greater than the workload of cutting apples for Doma, the workload of teaching Yasha God Ten'i to play shogi is obviously much more difficult than teaching Doma to make chocolate.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but glance at Doma Mai: "No wonder you went to cut apples after dinner. I feel like you're being too attentive for no reason. You're either a traitor or a thief!"
"Stop talking about these things, scumbag senior. I don't understand!" Domama pushed Yushan Kazuto into the kitchen.
Chapter 938 Making Chocolate
"Okay, now let it sit in the refrigerator for half an hour to solidify, and you're done."
Yushan Kazuto covered the bowl of hot chocolate with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, then said with a sense of relief.
He didn't expect that even with Tsuchiya's help, he was even more tired than when he made chocolate himself.
Yushan Kazuto thought that it would be better to make the chocolate by himself!
However, seeing how excited Mai Doma was, Yushan Kazuto couldn't say anything to spoil the fun, so he just fell on the sofa tiredly.
"Senior Kazuto, can we just leave it alone for thirty minutes?" Doma Mai leaned her little head forward.
"Well, it should be twenty-eight minutes now." Yushan Heren said.
"Why does it have to be thirty minutes? Can't thirty-five minutes be possible?" Tsuchiya blinked. This was the first time she successfully made a dessert!
Although she didn't move her hands many times throughout the whole process, she still felt a sense of accomplishment.
As long as I feel that I did it, then I did it.
Doma was stuck in a vicious circle of thinking.
"Thirty-five minutes will do! The purpose of the last step is to allow the chocolate to completely solidify and take shape. Any time longer than that will do. Thirty minutes is just a relatively safe and acceptable time for everyone."
Yushan Kazuto shrugged and said.
Tsuchiya nodded slightly, took out her cell phone, and actually set an alarm.
"No need... to be so exaggerated." Yushan Heren said angrily.
But it’s actually not that bad. Doma’s performance is much better than those beginners who open the refrigerator every few minutes to check the solidification results.
"Mamoru-chan wants to be the first to see the chocolate finished." Mamoru-chan said coquettishly, with her two little feet hanging down, swinging them gently like a little girl.
Yushan Kazuto's attention could not help but be attracted. Noticing Yushan Kazuto's gaze, Tsuchima couldn't help but snorted, "Pervert senior."
Yushan Kazuto blinked awkwardly, leaned against the sofa, looked at the ceiling, and a sly smile appeared on Doma Mai's face.
Half an hour passed quickly and the alarm clock set by Domama rang as scheduled. Domama quickly got up and ran to the kitchen to take out the chocolate from the refrigerator.
The chocolate in the bowl had already solidified. Yushan Kazuto came over, took the somewhat cold porcelain bowl, removed the plastic wrap, and used a small spoon to gently scrape the edge of the chocolate.
After feeling the chocolate loosen, Yushan Kazuto placed it on a porcelain plate that had been prepared long ago.
With a crisp sound, Yushan Heren opened the bowl, and a perfect, disc-shaped piece of chocolate appeared in the center of the porcelain plate, like a full moon embedded in the night sky, except that the colors of the night sky and the full moon were swapped.
Yushan Heren didn't make the chocolate very thick. After all, if he made too much, he wouldn't be able to eat it. Chocolate is something that should only be savored slowly and not too much. If you eat too much, it will be a typical calorie bomb.
Looking at the perfectly formed chocolate, Tsuchima couldn't help but marvel. She wanted to stretch out her finger to touch it, but she pulled her hand back in mid-air.
"It's okay to touch it with your fingers, but it's best to wash your hands first and dry them before touching it." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Tsuchiya nodded obediently, walked to the faucet to wash her hands, then blew away the moisture on her hands with the dryer, and stretched out her fingers to lightly touch the chocolate.
It feels a little soft when touched with fingers, but not as soft as the raw chocolate sold in stores, which will leave fingerprints if you touch it lightly.
Doma Mai looked at Hayama Kazuto and said, "Scumbag senior, why does the chocolate feel a little soft?"
"It's formed now, but not completely hardened yet. I feel this texture is the best. If you like the hard, crispy texture, it should be fine if you refrigerate it overnight."
Tsuchiya Mai nodded as if she understood, and Yushan Kazuto reached out to pinch off a piece of chocolate to taste it, but was stopped by Tsuchiya Mai.
"Scumbag senior, please get out first." said Doma Mai.
"Hey, can't I taste the chocolate I made myself?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say.
"It was Kouma-kun and you who did this together!" Domama-kun emphasized, "Anyway, scumbag senior, go wait in the living room first. Kouma-kun will be out soon."
Yushan Kazuto shrugged, went back to the living room, and fell on the sofa.
Doma Mai picked up a knife and began to cut the chocolate carefully.
A few minutes later, Tsuchiya came out of the kitchen with a mug in her hand.
"You wouldn't be here to make cocoa drink with the chocolate you worked so hard to make?" Looking at the mug in Doma Mai's hand, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say nervously.
"Of course not, Koumeiro is not a fool." Domama Koumeiro puffed up her cheeks slightly and placed the mug on the coffee table.
The cup is filled with many small square chocolate blocks, which are the perfect size for eating one by one.
"It feels like konpeito made of chocolate." said Kazuto Yuyama with a smile.
"No matter what it looks like, let's try it first." Tsuchima Mai couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in her mouth, and her expression suddenly changed subtly.
It’s hard to describe what expression she has at the moment. The aroma of chocolate is emitting from her mouth, but the faint bitter taste is also spreading in Touma’s mouth.
Doma Mai really enjoyed this mellow feeling.
But she also hates that bitter feeling. In short, if you look closely, Tsuchiya's expression is very complicated.
Kazuto Yuyama also smiled and picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth. This was a typical dark chocolate, fragrant and accompanied by the original bitterness of chocolate. Maybe Tsuchiya Mai couldn't get used to it, but Kazuto Yuyama still liked it very much.
"Scumbag senior, why is it so bitter?" Doma Mai finally swallowed the chocolate, but the bitter taste still remained on her tongue. She felt a sticky feeling on her tongue and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
Yushan Heren looked closely and found that Tujianmai's entire tongue was covered with a layer of brown chocolate. It was no wonder that Kucai was so strange!
"This is dark chocolate made directly from cocoa powder. It's normal for it to be a little bitter. I feel that the taste is quite authentic." Yushan Heren said.
Tsuchima took a sip of water to wash away some of the chocolate on her tongue, and then she felt a little better: "But the chocolate that Mamoru usually eats isn't this bitter?"
"The coffee you usually drink isn't bitter." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
"It's not like Mamoru-chan likes coffee."
Domame puffed up her cheeks slightly and looked at Yushan Kazuto.
[The scumbag senior seems to like this taste. 】
Chapter 939: Ebina Nana's Request for Help
"Then, scumbag senior, how are those white chocolates and hazelnut chocolates made?" Doma Mai pulled Yushan Kazuto's hand and asked like a spoiled child.
"White chocolate is made from cocoa butter and milk. You can't make white chocolate with the cocoa powder you use now. Hazelnut chocolate is very simple. Just add the chopped hazelnuts to the melted chocolate and mix well."
Seeing Doma Mai coming closer, Yushan Kazuto spoke first, "You can figure out how to make the rest of the chocolate by yourself. Just add sugar, milk, chopped nuts, candied fruit, etc. The rest of the steps are the same as I showed you before."
Tsuchima snorted in dissatisfaction, but she knew when to advance and retreat, so she just said, "Then...how can we make the chocolate into the shape of a five-pointed star, a little bear, etc.?"
"You can carve it out yourself with a knife, but I think most people may need the help of a plastic mold." Yushan Kazuto said.
Listening to what Hayama Kazuto said, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but glare at Hayama Kazuto.
[He clearly knew that Komari wasn't good at doing things, but he insisted on saying the first half of the sentence to annoy her! What a scumbag! ]
"If you want to buy a mold, I can take you to the supermarket tomorrow. You probably don't have any money anyway." Yushan Heren smiled.
"K-Kome-chan still has money." Doma-ma-chan snorted stubbornly. In fact, she did have some money on hand, which was given to her by Yushan when he was playing chess with someone yesterday.
"You are responsible for cleaning the kitchen, and I will take you to buy it tomorrow." Yushan Heren smiled.
The several thousand dollars that Doma Mimi had in her hands were given to her by Yushan Kazuto, and Yushan Kazuto certainly knew that.
However, it has been a long time since Tsuchima had her hands on Japanese yen, and many games and comics that she wants to buy have been released recently. Yushan Kazuto knows that Tsuchima will definitely not be willing to spend this money.
Sure enough, Doma Mai just glanced at Yushan Kazuto, then walked into the kitchen and started cleaning.
Doma Mai had already done the job of cleaning the kitchen once yesterday, so she was very familiar with it. Yushan Kazuto looked at Doma Mai's back and thought, could the job of cleaning the kitchen be handed over to Doma Mai in the future?
……
Late at night, Kazuto Yushan was lying alone in bed, about to fall asleep.
Just as Yushan Kazuto put down his phone and prepared to go to bed, the Line notification sound rang at an inopportune time.
The message was sent by an unfamiliar avatar. If you look closely, it seems to be an orange-yellow field, with a very old atmosphere.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Could it be that he accidentally added an auntie-like character to his line?
When he clicked on the message, the information immediately filled Yushan Heren's entire screen. It seemed that the other party had gone through a long period of psychological preparation before writing such a long message.
"Hello, Mr. Hayama. I'm Nana Ebina, the Akita applicant you hosted during the school visit day..."
Although the message seemed to be delivered smoothly, Yushan Kazuto thought about it and realized that if it was Nana Ebina speaking in front of him, this sentence would probably have to be paused more than a dozen times.
The other party is really too shy.
Yushan Kazuto blinked lightly. He had indeed added Nana Ebina as a Line friend, but he didn't have much memory of the other party's avatar. He didn't expect it to be such a retro avatar type.
Yushan and Ren continued to look down.
"I'm sorry to send you a message so late. I'm very sorry to bother you today. It's mainly because I encountered some difficulties in my review process. I would like to ask Senior Yushan, do you have any review materials for Fengzhiqi's application?"
"If you have any, could you please send me a copy? I would be very grateful. I have searched the Internet for a long time but couldn't find Feng Zhiqi's review materials. I have no choice but to bother you. I am really very sorry."
Looking at the message from Ebina Nana, Yushan Kazuto could even imagine how the other party blushed, opened the memo, carefully considered each word, typed all the messages, copied them into the dialog box, and sent them over.
If I didn't send it all at once in a long text, and asked Nana Ebina to send it one sentence at a time, she probably wouldn't have the courage.
Kazuto Hayama also understood why Nana Ebina chose to send this message late at night. The other party probably thought that Kazuto Hayama was already asleep, so she dared to send the message to Kazuto Hayama.
Just from the fact that the other party used honorifics in the Line messages, Yushan Kazuto could tell that the other party was timid.
If she sent a message late at night and Yushan Kazuto didn't reply, she could comfort herself: Yushan Kazuto probably forgot to read it, not that he didn't want to reply.
But now Yushan Heren has already checked the message, and the message display has changed to "read". Yushan Heren can even see that after she saw the message display "read", her little face flushed red and steam was coming out of her head.
Kazuto Hayama suspects that if they capture Nana Ebina and equip her with a steam collection device, they could even make a human-shaped steam engine.
However, Hayama Kazuto was only half right, as Ebina Nana's face was indeed blushing so much that steam was coming out of her.
But she didn't see the message become "read". After sending the message, she threw the phone aside and was so excited that she almost lost consciousness.
"Sorry, Ebina, I don't have Toyosaki's review materials on hand right now."
After thinking for a moment, Yushan Kazuto replied.
He did not have the application materials specifically for Feng Zhiqi.
After all, when he took the Fengzhizaki exam, he was admitted without any preparation.
Listening to the LINE notification sound at the bedside, a flash of clarity appeared in Ebina Nana's eyes, and then she fell into chaos again in an instant.
She thought Yushan Kazuto had fallen asleep, so she sent the message fearfully, but it turned out that Yushan Kazuto was not asleep!
She didn't doubt that the message was sent by someone else. After all, she didn't have many friends on Line, and even fewer were willing to send her messages.
Because she is too shy, Nana Ebina doesn't have many friends, and most of the friendships she has are quite shallow.
At this late hour, the only person who could possibly send a message to Nana Ebina was Kazuto Hayama, to whom she had sent a message before.
Nana Ebina picked up the phone tremblingly. She was really afraid that Kazuto Yuyama would give a positive answer. If Kazuto Yuyama refused, Nana Ebina felt that she could still breathe a sigh of relief.
After clicking on the message with trepidation and seeing the news about Hayama Kazuto, Ebina Nana finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she felt a little disappointed for not getting the study materials, this way, Nana Ebina no longer had to worry about how to repay Hayama Kazuto's "great kindness."
