Chapter 20 Matcha Daifuku Surprise!
[Tian Sui: Okay, I understand.]
Hmm, it seems I can continue drawing pictures of two people as subjects this weekend.
Akina Amaho nodded secretly; she was fairly satisfied with the result.
The day's events left her feeling tired and her mind tense.
But she was genuinely happy with the result.
Now, let's focus on our studies.
She turned off her phone screen and refocused her attention on the teacher who was explaining the speed of spaceships in space.

After school, Akina Amazu packed her things and was about to leave the classroom and head home on her usual route.
She went to the door and looked outside, only to see the twins pulling and tugging at her as they walked towards her.
"Hmm? What brings you here to see me?"
Didn't she tell Gong You that she wasn't planning to go back to the volleyball club for the time being?
Akina Amaho's hesitant gaze shifted back and forth between the two of them.
"It's all because of that idiot Aji that he insisted on coming to talk to you." Gong You pouted.
"Of course I came along."
How could he possibly leave Miyaji to go find Amaho Akina alone?
Of course, if it were up to Yu Miyako to go find Akina Amaho on his own, he would be more than happy to do so.
Miyaji ignored Miyayu's words.
He simply coughed lightly: "Are you really not going to watch our training?"
"Even just observing as a friend is fine."
The most important thing, of course, is to confirm her own thoughts.
Akina Amako hesitated for a moment, but in the end she shook her head.
"If I go there, I'm sure I'll have some inspiration. If I can't record it, I'll be even more distressed."
As she spoke, a troubled look appeared on her face as she twirled a stray lock of hair at her temples with her fingers.
"So, let me rest well for a few days before I go."
Well, going there occasionally won't affect them anyway.
That's what Akina Amaho thought.
Gong Zhi let out a slight breath.
"Alright then, if you're coming, let me know in advance and I'll come find you."
His expression was very serious.
“Me too, me too. Tian Sui, you just need to message me. Zhu Zhi is too slow.”
Gong You squeezed in from the side, blocking half of Gong Zhi's face.
Gong Zhi closed his eyes slightly, and the veins on his head bulged once again.
Gong You continued, "If it were me, I would definitely run out to find you as soon as the bell rings; I'd be much faster than him."
Miyaji shoved Miyayu's head aside and looked at Amaho Akina expressionlessly.
“You also think this guy is noisy, right? Just let me know when the time comes,” Miyaji said.
"I've told you so many times, I know the way... If I want to go, I can go by myself."
Akina Amane found it somewhat amusing to watch them shoving and pushing each other around.
Besides, why did you say that you should come out to find me as soon as the phone rings?
"And you guys, shouldn't you hurry up and leave? Volleyball training should be starting soon, right?"
Both of them tensed up.
Although they had calculated the time in advance before coming to see Akina Amasui, it wouldn't delay the training time at all.
But without her reminder, the two of them would have definitely asked a few more questions about what Amiho Akina had just said.
Whether there will be enough time at that time is uncertain.
"Damn it, run!" Gong Zhi clicked his tongue and ran downstairs.
"As long as I run faster than you, that's fine." Gong You thought that if Gong Zhi fell behind and was late, he would definitely get scolded even more.
So Miyako pressed Miyaji's shoulder to stop him from speeding up, while he ran ahead alone.
Akina Ameho couldn't help but laugh even more as she watched the two of them shoving and pushing each other as they ran downstairs.
Ah, it's been a long time since I've laughed so easily and happily when I see other people.
She slowly walked downstairs carrying her bag.
-
Life doesn't seem to have changed much.
Around noon, Akina Amaho sat on the rooftop.
She didn't come up with the twins; she went up to the rooftop alone.
Sitting in her seat, facing the gentle breeze, she squinted her eyes slightly.
A noisy commotion came from not far away. Akina Amane recognized the voices as those of Yuu Miyabi and Osamu Miyabi.
"We agreed to have lunch together, and I specially came over after class, but where is Tianhui?!"
This was Gong You's slightly troubled and irritated voice.
"We'll know once we get to the rooftop. If she broke the contract, she'll probably still be in the same place as before."
This was Miyaji's voice, which sounded calm but always gave off a somewhat gloomy feeling.
"Then we can just go find her directly," Gong Zhi said.
"That's right, she already agreed to it." Gong You said as if suddenly realizing something.
Amane Akina wondered if she should just give them a surprise?
Well, it's true that I came over without saying hello, and I thought they would come up directly as well.
When Miyaji and Miyayu reached the rooftop, they saw a figure with a bun hairstyle sitting there.
Akina Amane turned her head and squinted one eye.
The other eye, a clear, sky-blue color, blinked.
She looked quite playful at that moment, and at least the two of them were stunned.
I feel like my ears are burning.
Surprise!
After hearing this, the two of them stood there stunned for several seconds.
Akina blinked, wondering what the two people were still doing standing there.
She felt a little uneasy, which was unusual for her.
I just wanted to liven things up.
After all, these are the only two friends I have in the strict sense since high school.
After I got back yesterday, I thought about it for a long time, considering what attitude I should adopt—lively or reserved.
In the end, Akina Amamiya made the decision: she might be more lively if she was with her friends.
But you can't overdo it, otherwise you'll be the one who feels uncomfortable about the friendship in the end.
But now it seems the effect isn't very good, otherwise why would those two people stand there motionless?
So she coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Aren't you two coming over here?"
Well, all they need to do now is follow this step down.
There's no need to worry about what you said before.
The two people stared at each other, frozen in place.
Then Gong You was the first to ask, "What does that... 'plain' mean?"
Gong Zhi: "Shunyu, that's an English word, it means surprise."
Yes, he still remembered the pronunciation of the word. At this moment, he slightly raised his chin, feeling somewhat proud of having outmaneuvered Gong You.
"Oh... that word, I remember now." Gong You scratched his hair.
"Why did you suddenly start speaking English... I wouldn't understand it anyway."
I can barely understand the meaning of that word.
Gong You blinked twice, choosing to ignore the awkward scene that had just occurred.
Although I was a little disappointed at first, I couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise when I saw Amaho Akina.
"Alright, I'll be sitting on the left today."
So he went over and sat down next to Amaho Akina.
Gong Zhi didn't say anything, but walked over and sat down on the right.
Akina Ame looked left and right, and suddenly a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.
These two people's grades seem to be pretty bad...?
Oh well, their poor grades don't really concern me anyway, haha.
Akina Ame gave a stiff laugh and also chose to skip the previous topic.
"Today's dessert is daifuku."
No one spoke first, so Amaho Akina coughed lightly again to break the silence.
She held a daifuku in one hand and put it into Gemini's lunchbox.
When Miyaji heard Akina Amaho speak, he quickly opened the lunchbox and nodded, saying, "Thank you."
Gong You was a step behind him and could only purse his lips, but he still said thank you when Dafu was let in.
"Yes, it's a specialty of Sendai, edamame and cream flavored." Akina Amaho nodded, giving each person two pieces of daifuku and keeping two for herself.
Let's have some snacks after we finish our meal.
Meanwhile, Miyaji had already stuffed a piece of daifuku into his mouth.
It was sticky and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness filling his mouth. It was a little cool, but that was perfect for the weather.
Gong Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking somewhat pleased.
He really likes this flavor.
Amane Akina smiled at him, her fingers twitched, and she subconsciously wanted to pick up a pen, but she held back.
I've been drawing a lot lately, and my right pinky finger is a bit sore from all the rubbing, as is my wrist. I should take a good rest.
"The snacks that Tianhui prepared today were also delicious."
Miyaji didn't hold back in praising him.
He then looked at Amaho Akina's actions with a slight puzzlement.
Aren't you going to draw today?
He thought that the snacks were payment for briefly acting as models during his lunch break.
"I'm not drawing anymore, I need to rest too."
Akina Amane shook her head.
Gong You was eating a rice ball, unable to speak for the time being, just blinking and looking at this place.
"In that case, here you go, as a snack in exchange."
Miyaji handed Akina Amaho a rice ball.
He coughed lightly, a hint of unspoken smugness on his face.
Akina Amane was a little surprised.
"I'll give it a try."
She took a bite of the rice ball, then her eyes widened slightly.
"It tastes pretty good."
The rice balls were surprisingly delicious.
However, Akina was a little embarrassed to say the compliment directly, so she just said "not bad".
Gong Zhi subtly curled his lips into a smile, though it was quite obvious that he was feeling proud.
Gong You took a bite of his rice ball in resentment.
It's infuriating that he can't do it himself, and all the limelight has been stolen by the pig.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out another rice ball from the lunchbox.
She looked quite reluctant: "Let's give this to Tianhui."
When Akina saw the reluctant expression on Miyako's face, she knew that Miyako wanted to eat it too, and was looking at it with a bit of longing.
She shook her head: "You can have it, I'll get too full if I eat any more."
"Besides, you two should be the ones who are full, you don't need to give me any more." As Akina Amami said, she nudged Yu Miyako's arm.
Gong You pursed his lips, feeling as if he could see Gong Zhi's mocking gaze.
But he could only reluctantly take a bite of the rice ball and choose to treat himself.
Well, at least Tianhui cares about me!
Miyaji shook his head; this time it was his victory.
He had almost finished eating, so he put the last daifuku in his mouth and then squinted his eyes in enjoyment once more.
