Chapter 55

Boredly scrolling through World Cup soccer news, Kitakami Yoru sat on the side, waiting quietly.

A while later, Yukinoshita Yukino's cookies were also baked, and she flipped Kitakami Yoru's over by the way.

Yuigahama Yui finally finished, although the semi-finished product looked a bit unsatisfactory.

"Maybe it just looks unappetizing, but the taste will be okay after baking," Yuigahama Yui comforted herself and put the cookies into the oven.

"Come over and try them," Yukinoshita Yukino greeted the two.

After she took the baking tray out, the scent of cookies instantly filled the home economics classroom.

Scoring them, Yukinoshita Yukino was 100, Kitakami Yoru was 90, and Yuigahama Yui only had 30 points.

"So fragrant~"

Kitakami Yoru picked one up, and before he even put it into his mouth, he smelled the wonderful fragrance.

Then, he took a gentle bite and tasted it; it wasn't bad.

It wasn't sweet.

Yukinoshita Yukino also nodded secretly.

"So delicious," Yuigahama Yui shouted with a happy voice.

A while later.

Kitakami Yoru's were baked, and the texture was no different from Yukinoshita Yukino's.

It was just a bit sweeter, and the appearance was a bit worse, not very good-looking, but it passed.

Everyone tried them once.

Kitakami Yoru took another bite.

Finally, the highly anticipated cookies made by Yuigahama Yui were baked.

When Yukinoshita Yukino helped her take them out of the oven, Kitakami Yoru knew it was a failure.

It should be that the ratio of ingredients wasn't controlled well.

At the same temperature and for the same time, Yuigahama Yui's cookies were baked dry and shriveled, just like a sponge cake that had been left for a long time and air-dried.

Visible to the naked eye, the appearance and texture were a failure.

There was no need to try the taste.

"Let's continue next time, Yuigahama-san," Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the time.

Every Friday, she had to go home for a dinner party, and Yukinoshita Haruno would come to pick her up later, so she didn't have time.

"Alright, why don't you guys try the taste?" Yuigahama Yui was a bit unhappy; after all, it was a gift for her mother.

"Yukinoshita-san, how should we handle the cookies?" Kitakami Yoru inserted into the conversation.

"If you like them, take them all; if you don't, throw them away..." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the two baking trays.

The national conditions are different, so the way of dealing with things is naturally different.

In Japan, many foods that have passed their best-before date every year are still fine and haven't spoiled at all, but they are all thrown away as waste.

Millions or even tens of millions of tons of food are thrown away every year.

Besides, Yukinoshita Yukino and Kitakami Yoru didn't make much, just a little bit, so it wasn't very wasteful.

"If you guys don't want them, give them all to me."

"I'll take them for Yumiko and the others to try."

Yuigahama Yui looked enviously at the finished products made by Yukinoshita Yukino and Kitakami Yoru and said.

Then, she picked up her own cookies and handed them to the two.

Kitakami Yoru tried one first, took a gentle bite, and found that he couldn't bite through it; it was a bit hard.

The texture was like a compressed biscuit, very dry and crumbly, with a bit of bitterness.

However, he disguised it well and didn't show it.

"It's... barely okay?" Kitakami Yoru replied to Yuigahama Yui, who was looking at him with anticipation.

Yukinoshita Yukino, however, didn't quite believe it; she knew it was a complete failure just by looking at the shape of the cookies.

Then, she carefully parted her red lips and took a bite.

So hard! So disgusting!

A trace of difficulty flashed across Yukinoshita Yukino's face, and she swallowed it with great effort: "It's not great, barely passing for a beginner."

This answer was clearly taking care of Yuigahama Yui.

"Ah, is that so? Then let me try," Yuigahama Yui, who had received the answer, was about to try and reached out to the baking tray.

"Try them later, let's tidy up the home economics classroom first, don't stay too late," Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted.

She felt it was better to let Yuigahama Yui try them when she was alone.

To avoid being hit hard in front of her and Kitakami Yoru.

Then, Yukinoshita Yukino arranged the work, and they tidied up the home economics classroom together.

The time was 5:30, which was considered late.

The three members of the Service Club left the club complex building.

Kitakami Yoru walked at the back, walking very fast, holding a few bags of cookies; Yuigahama Yui hadn't taken them when she left.

Yukinoshita Yukino was being held by the arm by Yuigahama Yui, walking far ahead.

Not long after leaving the club, a woman with shoulder-length short hair, a mature appearance, and seven points of similarity to Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly appeared.

"Yukino, you finally came out; I couldn't help but come in to find you..." Yukinoshita Haruno stood in front of her sister and sized up Yuigahama Yui after speaking.

"Sister, please don't just enter the school; you're not a student at Shuchiin, are you?" Yukinoshita Yukino replied somewhat helplessly.

"Hello, Yukino's sister, I'm Yukino's friend, Yuigahama Yui," Yuigahama Yui reacted and hurriedly greeted her.

Actually, there was no need to say it; looking at their appearance, you could tell they were biological sisters.

Yukino's friend?

Yukinoshita Haruno felt slightly shocked in her heart and felt happy for Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Sorry, I disturbed you guys," Yukinoshita Haruno replied.

"I'm the one who delayed Yukino's time," Yuigahama Yui smiled embarrassedly.

After a few pleasantries, Yukinoshita Haruno took Yukinoshita Yukino and left first.

Yuigahama Yui had to go find Miura Yumiko, so she walked toward the soccer field.

This Friday, Hayama Hayato from the soccer club would play a full match, and Miura Yumiko should be watching the battle there.

Kitakami Yoru had no choice but to quicken his pace and catch up with Yuigahama Yui.

"Yumiko~"

From afar, Miura Yumiko's conspicuous blonde hair standing on the sidelines was easily spotted by Yuigahama Yui.

She shouted excitedly and waved her hand.

At this time, Kitakami Yoru also came over with the cookies Yuigahama Yui had forgotten and gave them to Yuigahama Yui.

"Ah, thank you, Kitakami-kun, I forgot," Yuigahama Yui finally reacted.

"You're welcome, then I'll be going first."

Kitakami Yoru shook his head, glanced at the direction of the soccer field, and left.

He was thinking about Kato Megumi; Kato Megumi had been sitting and chatting with him every noon for the past few days.

The progress of the golden treasure chest was growing very fast.

It was estimated that it could be opened in another two weeks.

"That Kitakami Yoru, how come he's with Yui again?" Miura Yumiko's brows locked tightly.

52: Remembered This Name

Kitakami Yoru handed the cookies to Yuigahama Yui and went straight out of Shuchiin.

On the way, he took out his phone and sent a message to Gabriel, agreeing on the meeting place and time.

Walking out of the school gate all the way.

Friday after school, tomorrow is the weekend, and the commercial street near the school was sparsely populated, far less than usual.

A commercial street, students visit it every day, so they definitely wouldn't stay here after school on Friday.

Walking on the desolate street, Kitakami Yoru arrived at the station at the end and prepared to take the train to find Gabriel.

Queuing to swipe his card to enter the station.

In front of Kitakami Yoru was a girl with silver-gray hair hanging down.

"How strange, is my card invalid?" Sakurajima Mai placed her transportation card on the sensor area again.
