"It's so sumptuous!"
Looking at the table full of dishes emitting an enticing aroma, Zhenna felt her mouth constantly secreting saliva.
"Sis! Did you make all this?!"
Zhenna looked at her sister in disbelief, as if she was meeting her for the first time.
"It wasn't... me." Shizori stole a glance at Fujino, who looked as calm as ever, and whispered, "Fujino made it."
"So Sister Fujino made it!" Zhenna didn't notice Shizori's abnormality and looked at Fujino beside Shizori with admiration, looking every bit like a little fangirl.
"It's nothing," Fujino said with a light smile.
"Alright, let's sit down and eat."
"Mm-hmm!"
Zhenna, whose appetite had already been whetted by Fujino's sumptuous dishes, couldn't wait to sit in a chair, while also gesturing for Fujino to sit beside her.
"Sister, what are you doing? Sit down quickly."
"O-okay."
Shizori responded somewhat absent-mindedly. She stepped forward to sit down, but the position was actually next to Zhenna's side.
Having been forced by Fujino to do such things in the kitchen, Shizori felt a bit of resistance toward Fujino in her heart.
However, Shizori's plan did not succeed. Before she could sit down, one of her hands was grabbed by Fujino. Fujino gave Shizori a slight smile and said, "Shizori, sit with me."
Although her tone was calm, in Shizori's ears, it was filled with an irresistible meaning.
"...Yes."
Completely unable to resist, Shizori could only let Fujino lead her by the hand to sit beside her.
"Sister, is your relationship with Sister Fujino already this good?" Zhenna seemed to have misunderstood something seeing the two holding hands.
But Zhenna seemed very eager to see this scene. With a face full of smiles, she said to Fujino, "Sister Fujino, I'll leave my sister in your hands. Although my sister is a bit clumsy and a bit stupid, she is still very beautiful."
As soon as these words came out, Shizori, as the older sister, was stunned, and even Fujino was a bit dumbfounded.
This move was impressive!
The way Fujino looked at Zhenna changed. Good girl! Zhenna, you can rest assured leaving your sister to me! I will definitely take good care of her!
In exchange, I will also take good care of you, the younger sister, in the future!
Fujino didn't say these words out loud, only in her heart.
She definitely had to take such a good younger sister under her wing, otherwise, it would be too much of a waste!
Unlike Fujino's thoughts, Shizori's heart was currently both ashamed and annoyed. Her face was flushed, her eyes glinted with a dangerous light, and she stared fixedly at Zhenna. If Fujino hadn't been holding her hand, Shizori would probably have rushed up to make Zhenna deeply understand the meaning of a sister's dignity.
"Can we eat now?"
A cute voice sounded. Looking at the table full of dishes, her little stomach was already getting a bit impatient.
"Right, right! Let's eat quickly!"
Zhenna said hurriedly. Being stared at by her sister made her hair stand on end; fortunately, a voice suddenly intervened.
"Alright, let's eat quickly. It won't be good if it gets cold," Fujino also spoke up.
The atmosphere immediately eased up a lot.
Seeing this, Zhenna gave a grateful look, but she didn't notice that everyone's attention was now on the dishes on the table.
After being by Fujino's side for so long, this was the first time she had eaten a dish personally made by Fujino. In the past, they were all made by Nanami, 2B, and A2. Although they were very delicious—even better than those so-called five-star chefs—the one Fujino made before her was clearly even better.
Everyone was attracted by the dishes Fujino made. Fortunately, Fujino had made a whole table's worth, otherwise, they might have started fighting over it.
Meanwhile, Fujino began feeding Shizori.
"Come, Shizori~"
Fujino picked up a piece of meat with a mysterious luster and held it in front of Shizori's cherry-red lips.
"This... isn't very good, is it?" Shizori's face was completely red.
Being fed by someone else was something she was experiencing for the very first time.
She wanted to refuse, but she didn't have the courage.
Looking into Fujino's eyes, it was as if she had lost all power to resist.
"Come on~"
Fujino said once more, her leg under the table gently rubbing against Shizori's calf.
Shizori trembled slightly, as if giving up her final struggle, and opened her mouth.
"Good girl~"
Fujino said with satisfaction, and her chopsticks picked up another dish.
"Shizori, have another bite~"
"Fujino, I want that too~!"
A girl leaned in close to Fujino, raised her hand, and shouted.
"Alright."
Fujino never refused her requests, and she placed the food she had picked up into the girl's mouth.
"Mmm~ it seems to taste even better."
The girl said with a face full of happiness.
Looking at her smile, Fujino couldn't help but smile too; her smile was truly infectious.
Seeing this scene, Zhenna's brow couldn't help but furrow. She nudged her sister with her elbow and whispered, "Sister, what are you doing?! Hurry up! Why aren't you more proactive when Sister Fujino is such a good person?!"
"What are you talking about!" Shizori said with a red face, "Fujino is a girl!"
As she spoke, Shizori suddenly thought about how she had been forced to become Fujino's girlfriend in the kitchen, and her face turned even redder.
"Isn't a girl even better!" Zhenna said nonchalantly.
"Sister, do you really want to spend your whole life with those guys? Just look at that Shinji! So I'm saying girls are better! Sister, if you don't hurry up, what if Sister Fujino is snatched away by another girl?!"
Shizori was speechless, staring blankly at Zhenna. She never imagined her sister would say such things.
"Shinji is our brother..." Shizori tried to change the subject, but it was no use.
"Sister, don't try to change the subject. An idiot like Shinji definitely won't be liked by any girls, so Sister, be more proactive. If you manage to win Sister Fujino over, you'll definitely be happy for the rest of your life! That way, I can eat Sister Fujino's cooking every day!"
Are you selling me out just to eat Fujino's cooking every day?! Shizori felt that Zhenna's so-called excuse of doing it for her happiness had no credibility at all. This sister of hers clearly sold her out just to eat Fujino's cooking in the future!
Is it possible that I, as her sister, am not even as important as a meal she makes?!
But the food Fujino makes is really good... On the other side, in a small ramen shop, Takamiya Shinji looked at the few coins he had left and sighed heavily.
"I wonder what they're eating. Speaking of which, I really was picked up from the streets, wasn't I?! No one is even looking after me?!"
At the thought of Zhenna and the others being able to eat hot and delicious food while he had to pay for ramen out of his own remaining pocket money, Shinji felt as if his heart was in the middle of winter.
Not only was his heart cold, but his wallet was cold too.
