"Hmm~"
Sakuta looked so happy that he could barely write the words 'I'm so happy' on his face.
"Azusagawa, did you win the lottery? You used up all the luck in your life," Said Futaba calmly.
"I'm happier than winning the lottery, and I didn't waste all my luck!" Sakuta said proudly.
"Your little sister is finally willing to leave the house, even though at home she can still only wear a school uniform!"
"Do you know what people like you are called on the Internet?"
"So heartwarming Onii-chan… I really wanted to say this, but what you wanted to say was Siscon, right?" Sakuta still had this self-awareness.
"If I find anything, I will call the police without hesitation," Futaba said.
"I have more things to worry about than that..."
"Sure enough, it's better to call the police now," Futaba looked serious and actually took out her cell phone.
"Listen carefully to what I want to say!" Sakuta said helplessly.
"You also know my little sister's situation. Even though wanting to go to school is a good thing, I'm afraid that she will end up in the same situation as before."
Sakuta's younger sister, Kaede.
Bruises and scars appeared on her body due to online violence, and she later lost her memory due to dissociative disorder.
Sakuta's mother cannot accept this fact and forces Kaede to regain her memories, causing her to develop new injuries due to nervousness.
To alleviate Kaede's symptoms, she is currently separated from her parents.
"So, please help me in this emergency!" Sakuta asked solemnly.
Ryuji scratched his head, he wasn't used to Sakuta being so serious.
"Okay, if you have time," Ryuji said vaguely, after all, he was also half tsundere.
"Me too," Said Futaba.
Sakuta showed a sincere smile, "That was very helpful, I will remember to buy you a drink in the future."
"Since the client should be more sincere, buy it for me now!" Futaba snorted softly.
Sakuta changed the subject, then looked at Ryuuji: "I feel like you are very busy recently, and you can't meet anyone after school."
"Probably involved in that annoying puberty syndrome again," Futaba guessed.
"I really don't know if you are a crow's mouth," Ryuji shrugged.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Sakuta asked.
"That's you, not us, don't just add me," Said Futaba lightly.
"I can handle it for now. If there's really a need, I won't be polite with you," Ryuji smiled.
…
When Ryuji came home, Mai was waiting at the door.
"It's rare to come out to see me, has anything good happened?" Ryuji asked.
"No, I was just about to go out, but I didn't expect you to come back just like that."
"Are you going to sing alone again? So sad."
Students in Japan often find lonely people going to karaoke rooms to sing. The store also thoughtfully introduced a mini private room.
"I'm going to train," Mai said lightly, "And you, are you going to find Nodoka?"
"Call me, it looks like she hasn't eaten yet."
"Sorry to bother you," Mai suddenly said politely.
"Don't worry, I will ask you to get it back with money and interest in the future."
"Yes." Mai looked defeated.
"Is there anything you want me to bring her?" Ryuji asked.
"I've told you what you need to say, but... Never open a cupboard in a Japanese-style room!"
Ryuji was surprised, and suddenly said something out of the blue.
He also said absolutely not... She just wanted him to open it.
"Yes I understand. Please be careful when going out." Ryuji waved his hand and went to Mai's house to look for Nodoka.
...
At Mai's house, the situation was completely opposite to Ryuji's expectations, Nodoka was actually cooking!
"How about it, I'm fine!" The girl looked proud.
Ryuji glanced at the trash bag and said calmly: "Remember to pack the bag next time."
Everything prepared by Nodoka is a fast food that can be eaten by heating it in the microwave.
After her little trick was exposed, Nodoka blushed slightly. It's rare that she wants to try cooking. Even if she just heated it up in the microwave oven, it was still considered her own cooking!
Even if the instant food didn't taste very good, at least she didn't have to cook it hermself.
Ryuji wasn't picky at all and sat down to eat.
"How does it feel?" Nodoka looked forward to it.
"Because it's fast food, it seems like you didn't finish it yourself!" Ryuji complained.
"This is my first time cooking!" Nodoka gritted her teeth, "This is also my first time using a microwave."
Ryuji didn't know what to say.
"It's so good it didn't explode," He was sincerely grateful.
