Could it be that you two knew each other before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Kondo Miki could answer, Akita Sana chimed in with a grin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Xia Xia Mujun’s father and Miki’s mother were high school classmates. The two families are very close; they’ve known each other since they were kids.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shankou Botai was stunned for a moment, then resumed his smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh—I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, could you introduce me next time, Kondo-san? I’m quite interested in him, after all, he’s the one who was confessed to by Senior Tsukishima Rin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even such an outstanding senior was rejected... Could it be that he already has someone he likes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you know him, Kondo-san, do you know who he likes? I’m really quite curious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akita Sana also widened her eyes and nodded repeatedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, yeah, yeah! I want to know too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kondo Miki sensed the faint trace of jealousy in Shankou’s words and found such male mindsets quite troublesome, so she had to clarify:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not that close to him. We don’t see each other more than a few times a year, and we didn’t attend the same middle school, so how would I know these things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s probably someone from his middle school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shankou Botai seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but his gaze fell upon that box of white cream puffs: “Then, what is this that he gave you...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kondo Miki explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just extra cream puffs from Home Economics class.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And they aren’t for me; they’re for Sana.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, she knows him too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Kondo Miki casually shoved the cream puffs into Akita Sana’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akita Sana was startled at first, then understood—Miki didn’t want Shankou to misunderstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately took them with a grin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, that’s right~ I actually have quite a good impression of Xia Xia Xia Mujun. I didn’t expect him to give me cream puffs he made himself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miki was just helping me take them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shankou Botai immediately wore an “I see” expression and laughed aloud:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder you weren’t interested when I introduced guys to you before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since it’s from someone you like, you must cherish them well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Akita-san, do your best to win over Xia Xia Xia Mujun, whom even Senior Tsukishima couldn’t handle!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akita Sana responded with full energy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kondo Miki looked away in silence and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, I’m hungry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To the cafeteria.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shankou Botai agreed with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to the cafeteria, Kondo Miki quietly took out her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such cheap desserts, Kondo Miki couldn’t even be bothered to take them back, thinking it would be better to just give them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kondo Miki: Sorry about just now, for making you play along.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Akita Sana: (#^.^#) It’s fine, I understand~]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kondo Miki: With Shankou-kun watching, it’s hard for me to take them back. Besides, I have plenty of desserts at home, you take this box and eat them.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Akita Sana: (°▽°) Really! That’s awesome! Then I won’t stand on ceremony!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akita Sana took a bite of a cream puff and her eyes widened instantly—the crust was light and crispy, the filling fragrant and rich; it was more delicious than any cream puff from a famous shop she had ever eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So good!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shankou Botai looked at her happy expression and asked in surprise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it really that good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akita Sana nodded vigorously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s super—good! Do you guys want to try one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shankou Botai actually didn’t like homemade desserts that looked cheap either; like Kondo Miki, he preferred eating brand-name desserts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were made by a girl he liked, that would be one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Made by a guy? He had zero interest in that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll pass. After all, it’s from someone you like, I don’t want to spoil the mood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akita Sana looked at Kondo Miki again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about you, Miki?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kondo Miki looked at Akita Sana in silence. Is it really that good?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought for a moment, feeling it was nothing more than the filter of “love me, love my dog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for these cream puffs, if Akita Sana wants to eat them, let her; they aren’t expensive things anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t eat them if she took them back regardless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would just tell her mom later that her friends liked them, and let her friends finish them at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kondo Miki shook her head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, you eat them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akita Sana said happily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heehee, then I won’t be polite!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Class 1-A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most students brought bento boxes, so even though the class ended in the first-floor Home Economics room, everyone returned to the classroom to get their meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun returned to his seat, intending to pick up his bento and enjoy it in the backyard—the environment there was secluded and the scenery pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his seatmates Saionji Nanase and Yukimura Suzune happened to return after buying drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase blinked her lively, large eyes and smiled as she extended an invitation to him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xia Xia Xia Mujun, there’s something I’d like to chat with you about. If you don’t mind, shall we eat lunch together today and talk while we eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun was somewhat surprised:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suppose I can... but, what is it about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase explained while naturally moving her desk and chair closer:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually... my father knows your father. After he found out I was your seatmate, he entrusted me to convey some things to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun did indeed know that the predecessor’s father and Saionji Nanase’s father were old acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it involved the older generation, he felt it was necessary to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, Yukimura Suzune witnessed this scene; her movements in packing her bento paused imperceptibly, and her long, slender eyelashes lowered slightly, as if she were contemplating whether to have lunch with Saionji as usual today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase had already turned her head and asked in a light tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Suzune, what’s in your bento today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yukimura Suzune pondered for a moment and answered softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hamburger steak, rolled omelet, and cherry tomatoes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saionji Nanase’s eyes lit up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have grilled saury! Can I trade you for some rolled omelet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing it was saury, Yukimura Suzune didn’t hesitate and nodded slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1096,"2026-06-15T07:08:26.586Z","2026-06-15T07:45:38.736Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","efdd06af56e5a9ed51de71e4c49cc4431799553c4f24f8bec6d6339451a12e96","tokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-chapter-76","tokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-chapter-74",624,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftokyo-you-call-this-normal-equipment-cover.jpg"]
