People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Because he has learned faster, Aokisuke plans to put the plan of "learning another language" on the agenda as soon as possible.

......

It was around ten-thirty when he took his guitar and went out to fulfill the promise he had made yesterday to treat Yamada Ryo to lunch.

Before leaving the apartment, Aoki Jie took a special look at the weather in recent days.

The weather will be sunny over the weekend, but there will be a period of continuous summer rain in a few days.

The weather forecast for the day could be inaccurate, and Aoki was skeptical about the continuous summer rain that would fall in the next few days.

Although he was sure that the weather would be sunny today, he still chose to bring a transparent umbrella to be on the safe side.

The agreed meeting place was at the intersection in front of Shibuya Station, not too far from the apartment where Aokisuke rented.

On the tram from the apartment area to the intersection station, carrying a guitar and an umbrella, Aokisuke looked at the scenery passing by outside the window while slightly clearing his mind.

After a bumpy ride, the tram arrived at the station.

It was around ten fifty, ten minutes before the agreed time.

I walked out of the station and to the intersection in front of Shibuya Station, and then walked a short distance towards the musical instrument store called 'SoundColor'.

I thought we were going to meet at the musical instrument store as agreed, but not long after we walked forward, Aoki Suke noticed Yamada Ryo on the side of the road.

There's quite a bit of vegetation near the intersection in front of Shibuya Station. If you walk a bit closer to the 'SoundColor' music store, you'll see a row of cherry trees.

At the moment, Miss Liang was squatting under the cherry tree, looking at something intently.

A little curious about what Yamada Ryo was looking at, Aokisuke noticed her and walked over to the girl.

I bent down and squatted, and then I found a row of ants moving at the bottom of the cherry tree.

If she were an ordinary high school girl, she would probably avoid creatures like insects on a daily basis, but Yamada Ryo was obviously not an ordinary high school student.

There was still no expression on the girl's face. She was concentrating on looking at the ant and didn't even notice Aokisuke walking towards her.

......

After watching for a while with his knees propped up, Aoki spoke.

"Yamada-san, you're such a weirdo."

The girl who was looking down at the ants was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked to the side.

The distance between the two was not particularly far, and by slightly turning his eyes, Yamada Ryo could clearly see Aokisuke's face.

With a handsome face and perfect facial features, if it weren't for his long bangs slightly covering his eyes, Aoki Jie's charm would probably be even higher.

Blinking expressionlessly, Liang glanced at Aokisuke and then turned his attention back to the ants.

"I was wondering if ants would taste good," she began.

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

After searching his mind for some knowledge about ants and recalling it, Aokisuke replied,

"The taste of ants probably depends on the species...but most species seem to taste sour and astringent."

The gaze that had originally been directed towards the ant turned back to Aokisuke.

After looking at Aokisuke for a while, Yamada Ryo spoke.

"Suki-san, you are such a weirdo."

"The only thing I don't want is for you, Yamada-san, to say that..."

Considering that it is extremely difficult to fill your stomach and that they taste bad, let’s not talk about eating ants for now.

Standing up from under the cherry tree, the two walked towards the other side of the street in front of the station.

Yamada Ryo has no objection to eating omurice. After the two finished chatting last night, Aokisuke used Google Maps to search for a light meal restaurant at the intersection in front of Shibuya Station.

There is indeed a light snack restaurant nearby that is famous for its omurice. It has a high rating and the prices on the menu are quite reasonable.

Eleven o'clock is not too early for lunch, so under the guidance of Aoki Jie, the two arrived at their destination.

There weren't many customers at this time, and most of the seats in the store were still empty.

We chose a seat by the window and ordered our meal.

Aokisuke ordered a tempura set meal, while Yamada Ryo ordered a traditional Japanese omurice.

Miss Liang's personality is somewhat strange. She usually has a blank expression and doesn't talk much, and she doesn't often take the initiative to talk.

Aokisuke is not a chatterbox either. If someone talks to him, he will probably say a few words, but other than that, he rarely says much on a daily basis.

So neither of them spoke, and there was no other sound in the snack bar except the sound of the violin.

Looking out the window, Aoki Jie was slightly dazed as he watched the passers-by on the street, some in a hurry and some leisurely, with some boredom.

Until Yamada Ryo's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Suki-san, I've always been a little curious."

The voice was cold and the tone was flat, but there was a subtle hint of doubt in it.

"You're obviously a very good guitar player, but why didn't you even have a guitar before?"

Why didn't I even have a guitar before...

Aokisuke withdrew his gaze from the window and remained silent for a moment after hearing Yamada Ryo's doubts.

Before meeting the members of the band End, Aokisuke didn't know how to play the guitar, so of course there was no need for him to buy a guitar.

But this reason obviously cannot be told to Yamada Ryo - the 'Love Simulation Game' does not allow the host to reveal its existence, which is clearly mentioned in the initial prompt.

So if we want to answer this question right now, we must come up with a reasonable reason...

After thinking for a while, Aoki responded,

"With a poor family and barely enough to eat, I had to give up my dreams and prioritize survival... I sold my previous guitar."

"Oh......"

Looking at Aokisuke, he blinked and was silent for a moment. Yamada Ryo nodded and said "oh" softly but did not continue to ask for details.

The atmosphere fell silent again. Aoki Jie, who was still thinking about how to make up the details, was relieved to see that Yamada Ryo didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't say anything else either.

After a while, the waiter brought the meals they ordered.

The tempura set consists of two fried shrimps, a few pieces of fried radish, a small piece of grilled eel, as well as rice, various seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of miso soup.

As for the omelet rice, it looks like an ordinary omelet rice.

Putting his hands together and muttering "I'm eating", Aokisuke picked up a piece of fried shrimp and put it in his mouth.

Although the price of the light meal restaurant set meal is not particularly expensive, it is still higher than the set meal of an ordinary izakaya. However, the higher price does have its advantages - the fried shrimp has an extremely crispy skin, the shrimp meat is extremely chewy, the ingredients are very fresh, and the taste is very good.

The grilled eel and fried radish were both quite good.

But the taste of miso soup is a bit hard to describe...

Aokisuke put the miso soup aside and continued eating the set meal.

Then, when half of the rice in the bowl was eaten, a clear sound suddenly came from the wind chime hanging at the door of the store.

"The omelet rice at this restaurant is really good. Kita-chan, I have to try it this time..."

"Oh—really? Thanks for the recommendation~"

Then, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.

Kita?

Aokisuke was stunned for a moment, while Yamada Ryo, who was facing the door, raised his head immediately.

Several girls who were probably in high school came into the store, including Ms. Guiqulaixi.

After seeing that the person entering the store was indeed Kita, Liang greeted him in her lazy voice.

"Ah, Kita-chan..."

Kita Ikuyo, who was still talking to her classmates, was attracted by the sound and turned to look at a corner of the store.

Then at first glance, she noticed Yamada Ryo and Aokisuke who was sitting and eating with Ryo.

"Liang, Senior Liang?"

Kita blinked, and after noticing the two, his voice was slightly stunned and surprised, "Aoki-senpai?!"

She took a step back slightly, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"W-what's going on? Senior, are you two dating?!"

"cough......"

Aokisuke was startled by Kita Ikuyo's words. Just as he was about to turn around to explain, Miss Liang in front of him responded before he could.

The blue-haired girl tilted her head slightly, looked at Aokisuke, and then turned her gaze to Kita Ikuyo.

A subtle smile appeared on her face, roughly meaning 'something interesting seems to be going on'. She nodded, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Yeah, we're on a date."

Chapter 31 Date? Date!

"!"

After hearing Yamada Ryo's affirmative answer, Kita Ikuyo's expression suddenly froze.

After turning around and saying to her classmates, "Sorry, I have something to do here, you guys go play first," she decisively took a trot and ran to the two of them.

"Are you already dating, senpai? How long ago?"

Looking at Yamada Ryo on the side, then at Aoki Suke, Kita Ikuyo said.

With a frown on his face, Aoki glared helplessly at the instigator, Ms. Yamada, and then explained,

"Yamada-san, I was just kidding. It's not a date. I just invited her to lunch."

"..."

In this situation, Kita Ikuyo obviously believed more in Yamada Ryo who had released the "explosive news" at the beginning, so after listening to Aoki Jie's explanation, she decisively turned her eyes to Miss Ryo.

There was still no expression on his face. He stared at Kita Ikuyo for two seconds, probably considering the consequences of doing so. After thinking for a moment, Yamada Ryo nodded and chose to continue to add fuel to the fire.

"We've been dating, about... two weeks ago."

"Woo!"

For the first time, I had my admired Ryo-senpai, and for the first time, I had the reliable Aoki-senpai. These were obviously two happy things, but why...

Kita Ikuyo let out a cry of "I didn't know it for so long", and then continued to speak.

"Although I will definitely support my seniors' love, it was so sudden that I was a little overwhelmed... Speaking of which..."

Taking a half step back, she looked at Aokisuke seriously again, and then at Yamada Ryo.

Her voice was slightly stuttered, her tone was filled with curiosity and a hint of shyness, and she continued,

"Senior, how far have you progressed...Holding hands? Hugging? Kissing? Or have you already..."

"..."

Aoki's face was even more frowned, and he wanted to explain seriously, but Yamada Ryo responded before him again.

"Holding hands?" The blue-haired girl asked with a hint of rhetoric in her tone.

"Has it really just come to holding hands?" Kita Ikuyo blinked and responded.

Perhaps Kita's reaction did not quite meet Ms. Liang's expectations, so she tilted her head slightly, paused, and continued,

"Embrace?"

"Have you hugged me already?!"

Kita Ikuyo's emotions were obviously fluctuating.

Seeing Kita-chan's facial expression change drastically, Yamada Ryo suddenly became interested.
