A corner of the audience seats.
A magnanimous young girl held a half-empty can of cola in her hands, her clear eyes fixed on the boy surrounded by the crowd on the awards stage, a strange light gleaming in her beautiful eyes.
"Miss......"
Standing behind the girl, Iori Muga hesitated for a moment before asking softly, "Should the championship celebration prepared for Heiji-sama continue tonight?"
He already knew what had happened in the warehouse when he left.
"No need."
Ooka Momiji slowly withdrew her gaze, listened to the butler's question, and replied in a cold tone, "It won't be needed anymore."
“Yes, Miss.” Iori Muga bowed her head in response.
This result was exactly what he expected.
Ooka Momiji's fair fingers unconsciously rubbed the Coke can in her hand. After being held in her warm hand for a while, the originally cold Coke gradually lost its coolness and became warm.
Just like her feelings right now.
The once calm and still lake of the heart was completely disturbed by the boy's actions, and the heart began to stir with restlessness.
The image of the boy shielding her from the sudden danger flashed through Ooka Momiji's mind again and again, firmly imprinted in her heart.
That sturdy back gave her an unprecedented sense of security.
"This is my husband..." the girl murmured softly, her voice so gentle it seemed a breeze could carry it away.
What she, Ooka Momiji, longed for was a husband who, no matter the circumstances, would stand firmly in front of her without questioning right or wrong, or distinguishing between good and evil.
Rather than people who would abandon their loved ones for the sake of so-called justice.
The filter of childhood fades away on this ordinary afternoon.
"So, the true Son of Heaven really does arrive riding on auspicious, colorful clouds..."
The girl seemed lost in her own thoughts, completely absorbed in her own imagination.
My face grew hotter and hotter, like a ripe apple.
She lowered her head, staring at the half-empty can of cola in her hand. Her red lips trembled slightly before she finally gently pressed them against her lips.
"Gurgle~"
The cola slid down my throat, and the familiar taste now had a different flavor.
That's great, really great!

Chibo Mansion.
After receiving the championship trophy, as a celebration, a group of girls ran to the market and bought a lot of fresh ingredients, preparing to cook a big meal for Yuzuru Hanyu that evening.
And when it comes to cooking dinner, how can we forget our dinner king – Master Jinghua?
So, the group of people arrived at her house in a grand procession.
Since they were guests, Shizuka Ikenami greeted them all with a smile and sent them out of the kitchen, intending to take charge of the cooking herself and show off her culinary skills, leaving only Kazuha, who volunteered to help.
Inside the restaurant, the lighting was soft and the atmosphere was lively.
"Delicious, delicious, so delicious!!"
Sonoko's eyes lit up, like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for days. Holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, she quickly scooped pufferfish meat and vegetables into her mouth.
Her cherry-like mouth was stuffed full, her cheeks puffed out, and the chopsticks danced around in a blur.
Xiaolan nodded in agreement: "This hot pot is really delicious!"
"It's so delicious, no doubt about it!!!" Akiba Reiko gave a thumbs up, no longer caring about her image as a great singer, and frantically fought with Sonoko for food.
“That’s right, Master’s pufferfish hot pot is the best in the world.” Yu Sheng Nan said matter-of-factly, then complained, “Last time I asked Master to make it for me, he was actually reluctant to do so.”
"That's because you've been eating that for two days in a row."
Ikeba Shizuka glared at Yuzuru and scolded, "Even the most delicious food can't be eaten all the time, or you'll get tired of it easily."
Ai, who was quietly eating, disagreed with this statement.
Someone can never get tired of beautiful women.
He loved any beautiful woman, regardless of who she was or what her status was; he even pursued his own master.
Akemi attentively helped Yuusuke scald the pufferfish meat, placing each piece into his bowl with a smile on her face as she served her young master the delicious meal. At the same time, she was thinking about asking Ikenami Shizuka for cooking tips later.
Since the young master likes to eat it, then the maids should naturally learn how to eat it.
She had previously fallen into a misconception when cooking at home: ingredients like pufferfish can be highly poisonous if not prepared properly, so she subconsciously ignored these delicacies.
In reality, these highly toxic substances had no effect on them.
Not to mention the horse talisman that can restore a person's health, simply passing poisonous ingredients through the purification spring will completely remove any deadly toxins.
"Akemi-nee, you'll spoil Nan if you keep doing this." Kazuha looked at Akemi across from her, who was not eating herself but wholeheartedly serving the boy beside her, with an envious expression.
Mingmei smiled, but her hands continued moving.
Yuzuru took a bite of the pufferfish meat that Akemi had picked up. It was tender and delicious. He looked at Kazuha and said in a very irritating way, "You're just blatantly envious."
"Master~"
Kazuha immediately turned to Ikenami Shizuka to complain.
Chibo Jinghua gently tapped the table and said, "Xiaonan, cook your own food. Mingmei hasn't eaten anything yet; she's been too busy taking care of you."
Yuzuru: "......"
