Chapter 61 The Canelie School Festival Begins
After the tense and exciting makeup exams ended, life finally got back on track.
Of course, the school festival also takes place at the same time.
The school festival will begin in early February, leaving them with more than a week in January to prepare for it.
Akina Amako wasn't very interested in the event. Of course, since their class was considered a college entrance exam preparation class, they didn't hold any big events; they just opened a takoyaki shop.
Akina Amane also needs to participate as a shop assistant.
She sighed. She had originally planned to go out with two other people on the day of the school festival, but now it seemed that they would only be able to go together after she changed classes.
She sent a message in the group.
[Tian Sui: I have to participate in a class activity here, so I can't get away for now. You two go have some fun.]
If she remembered correctly, the volleyball club only needed to perform in the afternoon. Of course, she didn't know whether she participated in their class's activities or not.
[Gong You: If I remember correctly, Tian Sui's class runs a takoyaki shop, right?]
He saw her when he passed by Amane Akina's classroom. Of course, the reason he passed by... cough cough, was that he originally wanted to bring Amane Akina along, but when the appointed time came, Amane Akina still hadn't shown up, so he had no choice but to stand a little further away and wander around.
Miyaji couldn't help but recall the extra-spicy takoyaki that Amaho Akina had made at the beginning, and a chill ran down his spine.
[Miyaji: Will Akina make those extra spicy takoyaki again this time?]
He had to admit that the takoyaki tasted really good, although it was very spicy and he almost couldn't resist.
[Tian Sui: Our class did make takoyaki, and I was the head chef this morning, but if it's extra spicy... I have to consider the students' taste buds, so of course I won't make it.]
She didn't want to leave a legend the next day, saying that her takoyaki had made someone faint from the spiciness.
Gong You rolled her eyes and tugged at Gong Zhi, who was walking beside her but keeping a meter's distance because he disliked her.
"Let's go to Mina's class together. I also want to try the taste of takoyaki."
I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to try the extra spicy takoyaki last time. If possible, I'll pester Akina Ama to make it for me this time.
"I'd like to try it again." Miyaji also felt a little hungry when he thought about the taste of takoyaki.
The two turned around and walked towards Amaho Akina's class.
There wasn't much of a person at the entrance to Amaho Akina's classroom; everyone seemed to have gone to participate in other activities.
Akina was also surprised that the two of them would come over, so she quickly went over and asked them to find a table to sit down.
"What brings you two here?"
Actually, she originally thought she would have a lot of free time and could wait until the shift change, since there really weren't many people coming.
"Ah, because I wanted to eat the takoyaki that Mina makes," Miyaji said seriously.
“Yeah, let me try the extra spicy takoyaki! That sounds so exciting.” Gong You’s eyes sparkled.
Akina Amazu couldn't understand why anyone would want to eat extra spicy takoyaki.
She sighed.
"Okay, then I'll make two Russian Roulette Takoyaki, I guarantee you can both get some." Anyway, takoyaki with this name will have one extra spicy one inside, and it looks exactly like the other takoyaki, guaranteeing that eating it will feel like gambling.
"Speaking of which, why is no one from Mina's class here?" Miyaji glanced around and realized that only the two of them were customers of this takoyaki shop.
"Because everyone went to other classes, I heard that some classes had some really interesting events this time." Akina Amami shrugged.
"Oh, it's a shame they don't come and try Mina's cooking. But since no one's here, could Mina skip work and come play with us?" Miyako asked with great interest.
Akina Amako hesitated for a moment, clearly somewhat swayed by the suggestion.
“Alright, if you two finish eating and no one else comes, I’ll go with you.” She nodded.
Miyako gave a small cheer, watching Amako Akina's retreating figure as she went to prepare takoyaki for the two of them.
A short while later, Akina Amane came out carrying two boxes of takoyaki. Of course, the two boxes of takoyaki looked almost identical.
Gong You skewered a takoyaki and put it in her mouth. It tasted normal, but it was a bit more fragrant, with a soft and chewy texture.
He exclaimed, "It tastes so good! Others can't eat it, only we can. It's wonderful!"
The tone of his voice carried a hint of smug, arrogant pride.
Seeing that Miya Yu wasn't bothered by the spiciness, Miyaji turned around and asked, "Mina, are all the takoyaki this time normal takoyaki, and there's no extra spicy flavor?"
Miyako also stopped what she was doing and looked at Amaho Akina with some confusion.
"Hmm...yes, but this time all the takoyaki look the same on the outside, only the filling is different." Akina Amaho smiled, but seeing her expression, Yuu Miyabi shuddered, feeling like he was about to be in trouble again.
"Ah, so you mean the next one might be extra spicy, and it all depends on luck?" Gong You said with a bitter face, suddenly feeling hesitant to eat.
“Yes, that’s the secret to Russian roulette takoyaki. And you guys said you wanted to try the extra spicy flavor.” Akina Amaho shrugged.
Gong You swallowed hard, then carefully skewered a takoyaki with a stick, even smelling it as if trying to figure out what flavor it was. But he couldn't tell, so he closed his eyes and stuffed the takoyaki into his mouth.
He had only chewed two bites when he couldn't help but cough, and his face turned red.
Gong Zhi didn't start eating either, just quietly watched Gong You's actions, which was quite funny, to be honest.
Gong You then grabbed the cup next to him, took a swig of water, and gasped for breath. He didn't bother to chew slowly and swallowed it directly.
"It's so spicy! How can it be so spicy!" he complained, exhaling.
"This is the extra spicy takoyaki you ordered. This is the same flavor that Osamu ate back then," said Akina Amami.
"Well, now you've experienced it, and you're satisfied, right?" Gong Zhi tilted his head slightly, looking at Gong You's performance with a hint of schadenfreude.
Gong You's body was still trembling, and he gritted his teeth: "A-Zhi, you ordered it too, now it's your turn to eat, and I don't have to worry about it anymore."
After all, the takoyaki below are all in the normal flavor.
“Well, in a way, Yu is really lucky to get the roulette flavor on her second takoyaki.” Akina Amami said as she pulled up a chair and sat down next to their table.
That's true. He would indeed have to eat with trepidation from now on. Gong Zhi swallowed.
Although he had already experienced the taste of extra spicy takoyaki and was mentally prepared for it, he still didn't want to eat that kind of taste right away.
He carefully picked up a takoyaki and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the takoyaki was still normal.
"But the extra spicy takoyaki does taste a bit better," Gong You said, picking up another takoyaki and putting it in her mouth.
Miyaji didn't speak; he was now looking at the box with a somewhat worried expression, where there were only two or three takoyaki left.
He eats very quickly. If it were a normal flavor, he would chew and savor it, but because he didn't want to miss the hot and delicious food, he would finish it quickly.
"Ha, now it's your turn to struggle with this. Unlike me, I can just eat it." Gong You mocked Gong Zhi mercilessly, while picking up another takoyaki and putting it in his mouth.
Akina Amaho smiled at Miyaji: "Miyaji, you can observe for a while before making a decision. There's no need to rush."
Of course she knew which one was the extra spicy takoyaki. After all, she was the one who made it, and there would be some subtle difference to remind her. It's just that others probably wouldn't notice, and she wouldn't remind them.
If you're going to eat extra spicy takoyaki, you should be prepared to be pranked.
Gongji hesitated for a moment, then picked up a takoyaki and put it in his mouth. Good, this one is still the normal flavor.
Feeling the two people staring at him, he sighed, "Could you please stop staring at me? I want to make a proper judgment."
If possible, save the extra spicy takoyaki for last.
Gong You lowered his head, pretending to be very busy as he stuck the last takoyaki into his bowl.
Meanwhile, Akina Amane turned her head away to look outside, pretending to be in a daze.
Miyaji swallowed again, his hand trembling slightly, but he finally chose a takoyaki and put it in his mouth.
He had only taken a couple of bites when his expression changed. He grabbed another cup and started chugging water. Clearly, he had eaten extra spicy takoyaki, but compared to Gong You, he was much calmer.
Gong You pursed his lips; he had been secretly gloating, hoping to see Gong Zhi make a fool of himself.
"Aji, how was the food this time?" Akina was still a little curious, after all, only these two people had ever eaten her extra spicy takoyaki.
Miyaji didn't say anything, but silently gave Akina Amaho a thumbs up, indicating that the takoyaki was delicious.
"Look at you, you're still too spicy to speak." Gong You found an opportunity to mock Gong Zhi, so he said this without any politeness, arms crossed.
Miyaji swallowed the takoyaki in his mouth and rolled his eyes at Miyayu without hesitation.
"At least, I ate it last." After saying that, he picked up the last normal takoyaki and put it in his mouth.
Gong You pursed his lips.
Forget it, today is the school festival, he's not going to argue with Osamu, he's very magnanimous.
After they finished eating, no one came to Amaho Akina's class. Now they could openly invite Amaho Akina to leave with them.
So Miyako excitedly said to Akina Amaho, "Amaho, it looks like no one else is coming. Why don't you skip work and come with us?"
