Chapter 56

Li An and Inumaki Toge were listening seriously on the side.

Half an hour passed unnoticed; Zenin Maki, having taken a shower and changed clothes, walked out of the dormitory.

When she reached the three of them, Li An smelled a fresh fragrance, mixed with a hint of a girl's body scent.

"What are you chatting about? You're laughing and talking," Zenin Maki asked curiously.

"I'm just telling Teacher Li An some interesting stories about the Jujutsu Society," Xiong Mao said with a somewhat silly smile.

"What's so interesting about that?" Zenin Maki felt bored, so she said to Li An and the other three: "The Principal and that blindfolded bastard should be finishing dinner soon; let's go to the cafeteria together."

"Mm, I'm hungry too," Li An nodded and said.

"Then let's go together," Xiong Mao cheered.

Inumaki Toge said nothing, simply following behind the group.

When the three humans and one cat arrived at the cafeteria, they found Principal Gojo preparing the last dish, while Gojo Satoru was sneakily eating the dishes already prepared.

"You're here; it'll be ready soon," Nitta Masamichi said to everyone.

"Principal, take your time; we're not in a hurry," Zenin Maki said with a smile, waving her hand.

Then she pulled Li An and the others, merging the small tables in the cafeteria into one large table.

This way, everyone could sit down.

Soon, Nitta Masamichi finished the last dish, and together with Gojo Satoru, they carried all the dishes to the table.

Li An looked at the table full of dishes and felt a bit surprised.

Because among them were not only Japanese dishes but also Chinese stir-fries.

It seems this Nitta Masamichi has real skills; he can even cook Chinese food.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru walked over holding a box of beer and said: "Li An, want some?"

"Sure!" Li An agreed immediately.

In his past life, he loved this; when going out with friends to grill skewers, beer was a must.

"No way, Li An, you're not an adult yet; you can't drink!" Zenin Maki immediately objected.

Nitta Masamichi also said: "That's right; drinking under eighteen is not allowed, and drinking isn't a good habit anyway!"

Gojo Satoru, however, said indifferently: "Too serious. Although Li An isn't an adult, he's already a teacher at our Jujutsu High; what's wrong with a teacher having a little drink?"

"Blindfolded bastard, don't infect Li An with your bad habits!" Zenin Maki slapped the beer box, instantly shattering more than half the beer bottles.

Gojo Satoru looked heartbroken and said: "Fine, if you won't drink, I'll drink alone, okay?"

While speaking, he took out the remaining unbroken bottles.

"Hmph!" Zenin Maki snorted coldly and angrily ignored Gojo Satoru.

Seeing this situation, Li An also lost his desire to drink.

"Maki is still so fiery," Xiong Mao said fearfully.

Inumaki Toge nodded, his gaze turning to Li An.

It seemed as if he was asking: "A girl with such a violent temper; do you really like her?"

Li An gave him a look, meaning: "I like this kind; it's satisfying!"

Inumaki Toge and Xiong Mao silently gave a thumbs-up!

"Alright, alright, let's eat; taste my cooking," Nitta Masamichi said, handing out bowls and chopsticks to everyone.

Li An picked up his chopsticks to start eating, but everyone clasped their hands together, holding the chopsticks between their thumbs, and said in unison: "Itadakimasu (I humbly receive)!"

Only then did he realize this was the Land of Cherry Blossoms, where this custom exists before meals.

Zenin Maki seemed to see through Li An's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Li An, you're from the Dragon Country; you probably don't know our customs here."

Although Li An was still from the Dragon Country in this life, he had come to the Land of Cherry Blossoms with his parents since childhood; how could he not know the customs here! He just didn't like this custom of the Land of Cherry Blossoms.

After all, he was from the Dragon Country; only the Land of Cherry Blossoms could submit to him!

This was Li An's lifelong creed!

And at this moment, Zenin Maki saying this was merely finding a way out for his rudeness.

"This girl is truly heartwarming," Li An felt a little moved in his heart.

However, he still joked: "It's just that Principal Nitta's dishes are too fragrant; I got so hungry I forgot."

Hearing this, Nitta Masamichi laughed happily.

Gojo Satoru also gave a thumbs-up and said: "You kid know how to talk!"
