Chapter 271: Tsundere Maki
Located in the high-end residential area of Denenchofu, Ota Ward, Tokyo.
Miyazawa Maki turned her head to look at the clock which showed half past six, and hummed twice while lying on the tatami.
"what happened?"
Just then, Ezaki Suguha pushed the door open carrying tea sets. Noticing that Maki seemed to be in a better mood, she couldn't help but smile.
"Was dinner delicious?"
“It’s OK.”
Miyazawa Maki pursed her lips and muttered, "It's just that the portion is a little too small."
"Then I'll have someone make some midnight snacks later."
Ezaki Suguha placed the tea set on the table and said gently, "Let's drink tea now."
"Oh"
Miyazawa Maki thought about it and finally sat up from the ground.
Almost two days had passed since the Shura Field incident, and she had calmed down a little. At least she wasn't as desperate as the other girls, or even going on a hunger strike or hanging herself.
Of course, even though her mood had calmed down, it didn't mean that she had completely calmed down.
Even if Ezaki Suguha talked to her about Haruno, she would immediately drop her face and show resistance.
Fortunately, after experiencing several failures, Suguha Ezaki no longer intends to persuade him any further.
A beautiful tall girl wearing a light blue yukata was seen slowly making tea.
After noticing that her bestie seemed a little curious, she smiled and said, "I learned this from my tea ceremony teacher before."
"Are there any tea ceremony teachers?"
Miyazawa Maki wrinkled her nose and muttered, "There was such a club when I was in high school, but it was full of annoying people, so I didn't join."
"You can learn without joining a club, so just think of it as cultivating your own interests and hobbies."
Suguha Ezaki comforted him, "There are many things that are useless after learning, but they can be used to enrich yourself."
“Enrich yourself.”
Miyazawa Maki was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "I say, do you think it would be better for me to learn something else?"
I think it would be better if you met Haruno now, Suguha Ezaki thought.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said openly, otherwise Maki will soon frown and say that she wants to rest.
So after thinking about it, she tactfully said, "Just think of it as learning something new. It can also help to ease your mood."
"Yeah."
Miyazawa Maki watched her making tea and suddenly said, "Come to think of it, I did think about learning how to cook some time ago."
She had this idea a long time ago, but she couldn't learn from Mana and her cooking skills could never match hers, so she gradually gave up on it and now she has become a rusty cook.
The reason why this idea was rekindled was because of the sudden visit of Ayako Sawayama some time ago, which made her feel an inexplicable sense of urgency and felt that she had to play the role of Haruno's "wife" well.
Mastering cooking is an essential skill for every qualified wife.
No, no, they are obviously quarreling now, why am I still thinking about these things? ?
Maki Miyazawa was very angry about the thoughts that popped up in her mind, but after sulking for a while, she quickly found a new excuse.
"It's to enrich myself." She muttered.
"what?"
Ezaki Suguha, who was making tea, turned back in confusion, and then noticed that her best friend seemed to have made up her mind just now.
"I said this is to enrich myself, so I'm thinking about learning how to cook again." Maki Miyazawa explained simply.
"Cooking? Sure. This is one of the few skills I can't master because I'm not very good at controlling the heat and often end up burning the food."
"Alas--"
Miyazawa Maki deliberately dragged out the tone.
After the two looked at each other, Miyazawa Maki suddenly spoke up and emphasized: "This is to enrich myself!"
".What else?" Ezaki Suguha asked hesitantly.
Why did the other party suddenly repeat this sentence again?
"I don't mean anything else, I just became interested again."
Miyazawa Maki turned around and said unhappily, "That's not the case."
She was mainly upset with herself.
Because Haruno had clearly done something wrong to her, but she couldn't bring herself to blame him. At most, she would just run to Suguha's house and hide for a few days. Damn it. It was all her fault that she liked that guy too much. No, it was all her fault that she liked that guy too much.
It's obvious that having myself and Suguha is not enough, and I have to provoke Mana.
I know that the person I hate the most is Mana, damn it.
As she thought about it, Miyazawa Maki felt her teeth itching and she wished she could rush back and bite Sawayama Haruno to death.
After seeing the complete change in her expression, Ezaki Suguha quickly understood the meaning of those words.
"This is probably because he doesn't want to admit his inner thoughts." Ezaki Suguha thought.
Before, Maki Miyazawa lived with Haruno Sawayama, and didn't have any deep friendships or connections with other people.
If I want to learn how to cook, who else can I cook for besides Sawayama Haruno?
This purpose is so easy to understand, at least Ezaki Suguha can see it easily.
Well, I just can't say it, otherwise Maki will be upset again. Thinking of this, Ezaki Suguha couldn't help but smile.
After the tea was brewed, she picked it up and handed it to the other person.
"Okay, be careful with the heat."
"oh oh."
Miyazawa Maki suddenly came to her senses, took the teacup nervously, blew on it a few times, and then took a sip.
"How about it?"
"Well, it's pretty good, right? I don't know much about tea."
Maki Miyazawa originally intended to give some professional-looking evaluations, but she really couldn't taste the quality of the tea.
So after taking a few more sips, she put down her tea and started talking seriously about what had just happened.
"What kind of cuisine do you think would be best for me to learn?"
".Generally speaking, if you want to learn, you should learn as much as possible. There is no special division of cuisine."
Suguha Esaki hesitated.
But after seeing the secretive look in Miyazawa Maki's eyes, she quickly understood the other party's true intention.
This is to learn the dishes that Haruno likes to eat, and he also said that it is just to enrich himself.
As for the food Haruno likes to eat, there is no doubt that it is only that kind.
After all, she had hired a chef specifically for him, so she must be very familiar with Haruno's taste.
By the way, Maki should also understand, so now she is just waiting for me to give her a way out, right?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qizhiye chose to obey the other party and said: "Why don't you learn Chinese cuisine?"
"Chinese food? Since Suguha said so."
Miyazawa Maki cleared her throat a few times and pretended to be calm, saying, "Then I'll go learn it online later, just for fun."
"Uh-huh."
Suguha Esaki showed a wry smile.
This guy is so easy to understand.
However, this look is also very attractive to some people, who think she is a very cute girl.
Especially for Sawayama Haruno, he probably has no resistance to Maki's appearance, right?
"How about I just learn from the chef in your house, Suguha?"
Maki Miyazawa put down the cup she was holding and said with a smile, "Don't you have a chef at home who is great at making Chinese food? Can I learn from him?"
"It should be possible. I'll just go tell her later."
"Thank you Suguha!"
Miyazawa Maki clasped her hands together suddenly and looked at the other person with a smile.
It looks like she has almost recovered as long as we don't talk about Sawayama Haruno and Miyazawa Mana.
People with simple minds will cheer up quickly even after getting angry. Ezaki Naoha was daydreaming.
"After a while, I may not be able to stay with Maki all the time."
"Huh? Why?"
Miyazawa Maki was a little confused.
"Because I will have to prepare what I need for further studies in a while."
Jiang Qizhiye smiled helplessly and said softly: "Although I have decided to use my kendo achievements, I still have to prepare some materials, not to mention communicating with the school I want to apply for."
"Apart from these, there are also some family matters. I can't really tell you the details, but I will be very busy in the next period of time and may not be able to accompany Maki all the time." She added.
"what"
Miyazawa Maki suddenly felt a little disappointed.
She couldn't possibly go back to find Sawayama Haruno so soon, but if Ezaki Suguha didn't accompany her, she would feel bored alone.
Should I go back to the video game store and tell the manager that my vacation is over early and I have to go back to work?
It feels so pity.
"If it doesn't work, just ask Xiao Wei to come over?"
Seeing that she looked a little distressed, Jiang Qizhiye finally softened his heart and whispered: "Xiao Wei should be free in the next few days. You can let her stay here for two days then."
Asking Ayano Yui to come over should also be able to persuade Miyazawa Maki.
After all, Ayano Yui is a relative of Sawayama Haruno, so she will definitely side with Sawayama Haruno.
Although that guy is sometimes a bit unreasonable, the situation this time is more serious. Ayano Yui should not dare to do anything rash. If there is a chance, she would still be willing to bring Miyazawa Maki back to Haruno's house.
"Xiao Wei?"
"I understand." Miyazawa Maki lay back on the tatami and hummed, "I'll see if she has time when I get back. I'll ask her to go shopping with me."
In fact, she didn't really want to find Ayano Yui, after all, she was related to Sawayama Haruno.
But after Miyazawa Maki thought carefully about whether she had any friends around her who were not related to Sawayama Haruno, she was a little depressed to find that she couldn't find one.
In that case, it would be better to choose Ayano Yui. At least the two of them will seem closer than with the others.
