Chapter 57

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

A while later, Yukinoshita Yukino's cookies were also baked, and she flipped Kitakami Yoru's over while she was at it.

Yuigahama Yui also finally succeeded, though the semi-finished product looked a bit unsatisfactory.

"Maybe it just looks unappetizing, the taste will be good once baked," Yuigahama Yui comforted herself and put the cookies into the oven.

"Come over and try them," Yukinoshita Yukino called out to both.

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

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

"So fragrant~"

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

Afterward, he took a gentle bite, tasted the flavor, and it wasn't bad.

It wasn't sweet.

Yukinoshita Yukino also nodded secretly.

"So delicious," Yuigahama Yui cried out in happiness.

A while later.

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

They were just a bit sweeter, the appearance was a bit worse, not very good-looking, but they passed.

Everyone tried them once.

Kitakami Yoru took another bite.

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

The moment Yukinoshita Yukino took them out of the oven for her, Kitakami Yoru knew they had failed.

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

At the same temperature and 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 even try the taste.

"Continue next time, Yuigahama-kun," Yukinoshita Yukino checked the time.

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

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

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

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

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.

Afterward, 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 actually couldn't bite through it; it was a bit hard.

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

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

"For now, it's okay?" Kitakami Yoru responded to Yuigahama Yui, who was looking at him with expectation.

Yukinoshita Yukino, however, didn't quite believe it; she knew the cookies had failed thoroughly just by looking at their shape.

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

So hard! So disgusting!

A hint of difficulty flashed across Yukinoshita Yukino's face, but she forced herself to swallow it: "It's not great, barely passing for a beginner."

This answer clearly took 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 for the baking tray.

"Try them later, let's clean 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 by herself.

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

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

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

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

Kitakami Yoru walked at the end, walking very fast, holding several 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 hair, looking mature and 70% similar 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 younger sister, and after finishing, she sized up Yuigahama Yui.

"Sister, please don't just enter the school; you aren't a student at Xiuzhiyuan, 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; one could tell they were biological sisters just by looking at their faces.

Yukino's friend?

Yukinoshita Haruno felt slightly surprised 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 exchanging 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.

Today was Friday, and Hayama Hayato of the soccer club would play a full match; Miura Yumiko should be watching the battle there.

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

"Yumiko~"

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

She called out excitedly and waved her hand.

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

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

"You're welcome, then I'll go first."

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

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

The gold treasure chest progress was growing very fast.

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

"That Kitakami Yoru, why is he 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 Xiuzhiyuan.

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 was the weekend, and the shopping street near the school was sparsely populated, far less than usual.

A shopping street, students also 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 draped down.

"How strange, is my card invalid?" Sakurajima Mai placed her transportation card on the sensor area again. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
