Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Having spent so much time with Hayano-sensei, Anze Liang was aware of her little schemes, but he didn't take them to heart.

"You guys play by yourselves for a while, I'm going to the kitchen."

An Zeliang opened the refrigerator, took out the vegetables and meat that hadn't been used up, and went into the kitchen to start cooking.

Hayano Hoshiko wasn't idle either. She immediately opened the game and quickly played another round against the computer. Gaming skills can only be improved by playing and practicing more. Sooner or later, she would definitely make Anze cry!

Just thinking about that scene filled Hayano Hoshiko with anticipation.

This time, let's play a normal-level AI match! Let's increase the game difficulty!

At the same time, she didn't forget about Hoshimiya Rin, who was standing to the side, and took the initiative to invite her.

"Hoshimiya-kun, I've already created a match. Shall we have a friendly spar?"

Seeing Anze Ryo busy in the kitchen, Hoshimiya Rin gently got up.

"No need, teacher. I'm a little tired and don't want to play anymore. I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything I can help with."

"Hmm? Hoshimiya-san can cook too?" Hayano Hoshiko asked curiously.

In her memory, Hoshimiya Rin's parents were of high status and usually acted like pampered young ladies who never lifted a finger. She never expected that they would be the kind of virtuous wife and loving mother who would take the initiative to help in the kitchen.

Facing Hayano Hoshiko's gaze, Hoshimiya Rin calmly shook her head.

"I can't cook, but I can help out. Cooking with two people will be more efficient."

"Teacher, you can play first, I'm going to the kitchen."

"Oh, okay."

Hayano Hoshiko didn't mind, thinking that it would be better to practice her skills alone, so she happily started the game like a silly deer. With her skill level, playing against the computer was very easy.

Even with a regular computer, it's not particularly difficult.

at the same time.

Rin Hoshimiya walked into the kitchen and offered to help.

.

"Help?" An Zeliang was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

Who would have thought that the president, who always likes to shirk his responsibilities, would actually offer to help?

You should know that before, whether it was cleaning up the club or eating at Tamamo's house, she was always the laziest person, and she had a good reason for being lazy.

"What do you need me to do?" Hoshimiya Rin understood Anze Ryo's meaning, but did not refute it.

"Then I'll trouble you, President, to help me wash the vegetables," Anze Liang said with a smile.

"it is good."

Rin Hoshimiya picked up the vegetables, turned on the tap, and started rinsing them.

It was obvious that she had never done housework before, because she didn't even roll up her sleeves while washing vegetables, so her cuffs were completely wet before she even finished washing the vegetables...

Furthermore, although she seemed to be washing it carefully, it wasn't clean at all.

She's not suited to cooking!

An Zeliang hesitated, but ultimately held back his words.

This statement might be a bit hurtful to someone who offered to help.

However, having someone to cook with has its advantages; at least you can chat and avoid getting bored.

And at this time.

Hayano Hoshiko, who had been playing in the living room for more than ten minutes, suddenly twitched her ears.

Inside the kitchen, besides the sound of running water, one could hear Anze Liang and Xingmiya Rin talking, and occasionally Anze Liang's soft laughter could be heard.

The two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

Hayano Hoshiko's attention was unknowingly drawn to it, and her hands gradually relaxed.

"Operation failed...retreat..."

In a moment of distraction, Hayano Hoshiko died at the hands of a low-level computer.

But unusually, she didn't seem to care, and her gaze slowly drifted towards the kitchen...

The kitchen door of Anze Liang's house was a sliding frosted glass door. The warm light reflected his and Hoshimiya Rin's blurry, intertwined figures, making them look very intimate, like a newlywed couple.

After watching for a while, when Hayano Hoshiko turned her head again, she realized that she had been resurrected for a long time, and the character she was controlling was idly drifting in the fountain.

I feel like... I'm a bit like the clown, like an unwanted person in this room.

Hayano Hoshiko thought for a moment, then quit the game, got up, opened the kitchen door, and smiled.

"Boys, is there anything I can help you with?"

The kitchen wasn't very big, but neither Hayano Hoshiko nor Hoshimiya Rin were particularly plump, so it wasn't too crowded when the three of them stood inside.

Previously, when An Zeliang went to buy groceries and meat, the supermarket even gave him a simple apron as a gift.

Right now, Hoshimiya Rin was wearing that apron on her upper body, and her long hair was tied up with a hair tie. Her fair hands were awkwardly putting the washed vegetables into the prepared dish.

Although her expression was calm, for some reason, she suddenly gave off the feeling of a married woman.

An Zeliang, who was standing to the side, also spoke up.

"Teacher, Xinggong has already helped me prepare everything, and I'm about to start cooking."

Am I already too late?

Hearing this, Hayano Hoshiko felt a little embarrassed.

She was so engrossed in the game that she didn't come to help in the kitchen. Now that she's come to her senses, she can't just leave all the work to the students and go off to enjoy herself.

"How could everything be done? Hoshimiya-kun probably doesn't do housework often at home. What if there's something she overlooked? Let me check it again! I have to do my part for this family!"

As she spoke, Hayano Hoshiko forced her way closer, her bright eyes blinking rapidly, as if she wasn't going to leave until she was given work to do.

An Zeliang smiled helplessly and could only say.

"Okay... then teacher, please wash the vegetables again."

"no problem!"

Hayano Hoshiko immediately did as she was told, smiling as she picked up the vegetables that Hoshimiya Rin had put in the plate and ran to the sink to start washing them.

However, her eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the actions of Hoshimiya Rin and Anze Ryo.

Is it her imagination?

The way the two of them stand together really makes them look like a couple!

No, no, if Yasuzawa Ryo and Hoshimiya Rin are a couple... then what role would I play?

Am I really going to become the clown?

Hayano Hoshiko felt increasingly uneasy.

Especially when thinking about how Anze Ryo and Hoshimiya Rin were so united in their hatred of the enemy and went through thick and thin together while I was just a third party, more like a villainous supporting character in a novel or anime, constantly giving away assists.

Winning the game, but losing in life?

No wonder I wasn't happy with the win today!

It turns out I've become the enemy that everyone shares the same hatred for!

Baka! I don't want to be a villain!

Chapter 143, Section 141: Hayano-sensei's Hint!? Hoshimiya-kun,

Go home!

The pork in the refrigerator was a gift from his wife. Because she gave him too much, and An Zeliang usually eats alone and sometimes doesn't even cook, they still haven't finished it.

There are three people in my family today, so I'll cook all the remaining meat and completely empty the refrigerator to prevent it from spoiling and wasting food.

After Anze Liang finished cutting all the pork, he turned around and saw Hayano Hoshiko seemingly lost in thought, her expression thoughtful, occasionally blushing as if she were imagining something unclean... to the point that she was repeatedly rubbing the vegetables by the sink, scrubbing off all the leaves.

"Teacher, are you done washing yet?"

"Oh? Oh! It's all washed, all washed, here you go."

Hayano Hoshiko snapped out of her daze, the blush on her face quickly disappearing, and placed the washed vegetables on the cutting board.

The vegetables had been washed so many times and for so long that they were almost reflective, and many of the leaves had fallen off...

It would be a lie to say that Ms. Hayano has nothing on her mind, but it's not a good time to ask her directly.

Let's finish our meal first.

"Then I'll start cooking. It might get a little hot, so you can wait for me outside the kitchen."

As An Zeliang was speaking, he was about to start cooking when he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be out of seasonings. He opened the cabinet door and checked the contents, only to find that there was no soy sauce or salt left.

Looks like I need to go buy some things first.

I just finished all the drinks and snacks in the fridge while playing games. Since there's no time like the present, I might as well go downstairs and buy them all now, so I don't have to go through the hassle of restocking later.

Anze Liang put down his apron and untied it, saying, "I'm going to the convenience store to buy some soy sauce and salt, and also to get some drinks. Hoshimiya-kun, Hayano-sensei, what would you like to drink? Or is there any snack you'd like to eat? I'll bring it to you while I'm there."

"I'm fine with anything," Hoshimiya Rin replied, untying her apron. She wasn't picky about food, nor was she greedy.

But some people have a sweet tooth.

Hayano Hoshiko immediately spoke up righteously: "Teacher, I... won two games in a row today against Ansawa and Hoshimiya. How can I just drink beverages after such a great victory?"

Hayano Hoshiko deliberately drew out her words, gathered her emotions, and then spoke in a serious tone.

"To celebrate a victory, we should have a drink!"

"Anze, could you bring me two bottles of sake?!"

"..."

liqueur?

Upon hearing the word "alcohol," An Zeliang paused slightly, and the memory of that day in the hotel bed subconsciously surfaced in his mind...

He shook his head slightly, regaining his composure. Then he looked at Hayano Hoshiko, only to find that the teacher still looked serious, showing no sign of joking.
