After having dinner at the Sakuramiya residence, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t stay long and soon left with his maid, Shizuka.
The two sisters walked to the entrance door and watched the man and woman disappear into the night.
“Saya nee, that Shizuka san…”
Hinata held her arm obsessively and seemed to care, “She seems to have a relationship with Mu kun…”
“Hinata, I didn’t have time to tell you earlier, but Shizuka san is not only a maid, Mu kun told me,” Saya Sakuramiya came to the door, “she is also a monster.”
“Monster?!”
“Yes, although I have never seen her true form, she is indeed not a human being.
To think a monster lady is serving as a maid, it’s just like our club president… Hinata?
What’s wrong with you?”
“Ah, no, it’s nothing…”
The latter forced a smile and shook her head, “I was just thinking… Sister Sayaka, your cooking tonight was really delicious.”
“It wasn’t just me; some of it was made by that monster lady,” Saya said softly, “Miss Shizuka’s cooking skills are even better than mine.”
“Is that so… Sister Saya, can you teach me how to cook?” Hinata asked coyly.
“Ah? Why do you suddenly want to learn cooking?”
“Just a whim, I’m interested… Sister Sayaka, you’re free now, right?
How about you teach me? I just want to try to learn how to make bento.”
“Okay…I’ll teach you.”
Seeing her sister’s interest, the black-haired girl didn’t refuse in the end.
After all, it was just cooking.
And so, the two sisters played with kitchen utensils and ingredients in the kitchen, talking and laughing.
Obviously close..
“Saya-nee, let me try it,” Sakuramiya Hinata, who had been watching and learning next to her, volunteered, “It doesn’t look that hard.”
“Simple bento dishes are indeed not difficult, and Hinata, you are so smart, you can learn it quickly,”
Saya, who was standing beside her, encouraged her as she cooked a portion of sausage clumsily.
It looked pretty good.
However, after she took a bite, the girl frowned, “Not very good…”
“Let me try. It tastes pretty good, right?”
“But it’s nowhere near as good as yours, Sister Saya, or that Shizuka.”
“…”
You novice chef…
Why are you comparing yourself to me?
The girl opened her mouth and hesitated, “Hinata, what you made is already good…”
“Really?”
Seeing the expectant look on her sister’s face, she nodded and casually asked, “Of course it’s true. Are you making a bento for someone else?”
“Ah? No, no, no,” The latter waved her hands quickly and explained with some embarrassment, “I am just making it for myself. After all, it will be convenient if I can cook in the future.”
Sakuramiya Saya said nothing more, nodded and took a deep look at her sister before looking away.
The two girls continued to practice in the kitchen with different thoughts, and the lights were on until late.
The next morning, Hinata hurriedly got up before dawn and got busy in the kitchen.
Looking at the bento she made with great effort: sausages, tempura, vegetables, and fried eggs, all emitting a delicious aroma,
“I really do have a talent,” She thought as she carefully packed the bento box, suddenly worried about a question..
‘What if he refuses it? He probably won’t, right?’
“Hinata? Did you get up so early?”
“Huh? Saya-nee?” Seeing her sister, who had not yet changed out of her pajamas, the girl quickly put her hands behind her and hid her lunch box, “I got up a little early today, um, I’m going to school first.”
“So early? You didn’t wait for me to come with you?”
Usually the two of them go to school together.
“Who told you, Saya nee, to be so late? I won’t wait for youâ”
It’s you who is too early.
Looking at her sister’s back as she hurriedly put on her shoes and pushed out the door, Sakuramiya Saya sighed in a complicated mood, “Hinata…you think I didn’t notice.”
After walking around the kitchen that hadn’t been tidied up yet, Saya Sakuramiya hesitated for a moment and then reignited the stove.
Soon, a more exquisite bento box was ready…..
In the school, Sakuramiya Hinata sat in the second-year classroom, hesitant and unsure.
Although she told her sister that she was learning cooking for her own sake, the fact that she specifically made a bento to bring to school, for whom she obviously knew.
‘But if I ran over to deliver the bento boxes like this, would it be too…’
The blonde girl’s ponytail swayed from side to side as she was caught in her dilemma.
Finally, during the lunch break, she went to find him, but by the time she got to the first-year classroom, Mu Xiaoxiao had already left.
“Eh? He’s gone?”
“Don’t you know, Hinata-senpai?
Xiaoxiao was taken away by your sister,” Shinomiya Natsuha spoke with a subtle look in her eyes. “She also said she had something to talk to him about, so she left us all behind.”
“This…”
The girl was surprised, but she didn’t doubt it, “Since Saya-nee said she had something to do, then she must have had a reason to look for him.”
“I feel it’s not that simple,” Shiina Chizuru and Nanao Akane, sitting next to Natsuha, joined in, their eyes on Hinata, “That Saya-senpai specifically asked Xiao Xiao out alone, as if she was interested in him… ”
“Don’t think too much. Whatever it is, Xiaoxiao can handle it,”
Akane finished, watching Hinata leave with a sullen face, she looked at the two girls.
“Do you think the Sakuramiya sisters might be…”
“Impossible.”
“It’s hard to say, ever since the incident in the old school building…”
“Maybe since the gym incident, they’ve…”

Mu Xiaoxiao, who usually ate at his usual place, on the rooftop or in a club, was approached by Sakura Saya this time and pulled to a remote corner of the school, under an inconspicuous big tree.
‘If I remember correctly, this seems to be the place where the Sakuramiya sisters, Saya and Hinata, often eat together?’
“Saya-senpai, you were looking for me?”
“Here, this is for you,” the black-haired girl handed him her bento box, “I made it.”
“….You didn’t call me here just to have lunch with me, did you?” Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
“Of course not, but we have to eat while talking, right? We can’t discuss things on an empty stomach,”
As she spoke, Saya took out a tablecloth and spread it on the grass with practiced ease, “Mu-kun, come and sit down.”
“…Makes sense, but I already have a bento, and this is yours…”
“How would I know,” The girl sat down on the grass, tilting her legs, then looked up and smiled at him, “Mu-kun, you’ve helped us so much. This meal is just a small token of my gratitude. You won’t refuse my offer, right? ”
“I didn’t realize before that you were so sharp-tongued, Saya senpai,” he finally accepted the girl’s kindness and sat down next to her, “Then, you can get down to business.”
“Well… I’m looking for you because it has something to do with Hinata,” Saya Sakuramiya adjusted her language and pondered for a moment, “Mu-kun, you and Hinata… seem to have gotten very close recently, haven’t you?”
“Ahem!”
He choked on his bite.
“Cough cough!”
“Senior Saya, what do you mean?”
“No, I just asked out of curiosity because… Hinata never used to be close with boys, and I feel like she might have a little crush on you…”
“No, no, absolutely not, definitely not!
I have no relationship with Sakuramiya Hinata at all.
We are just friends at most.
After all, we’re in the same club, and it’s not like you don’t know that I am special.”
Hearing this, the black-haired girl looked down at the sandwich in her hand and whispered, “Mu-kun…it is indeed quite special~”
Her tone was inexplicable.
“…”
No, what does she mean?
“I said, you…”
“What are you guys doing?”
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was having a headache, and was struggling with how to explain to the girl in front of him, the central figure of their conversation suddenly appeared.
The blonde girl had a slight sweat on her forehead and was panting, biting her lip as she looked at them.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Saya nee…
