In the end, it was Beichuan Si, Beichuan Huili, and Nakajima Michika who together ate up all the wild vegetables.

After all, these were good stuff, even though Nakajima Michika and Beichuan Huili finally couldn't take it and kept waving their hands, saying they didn't want to eat anymore. But with Beichuan Si's gesture of touching the sofa cushions, the two of them ended up eating their share of wild vegetables with a bitter look on their faces.

"It really has nothing to do with me."

Nakajima Michika stuck out her tongue, lying on the sofa.

Beichuan Hui Li was also lying on the table, thinking to herself whether giving Beichuan Si just 5,000 yen was too little.

To tell the truth, Beichuan Si's cooking skills were very good. Even those bitter and astringent wild vegetables tasted not bad when he made them.

But—

Beichuan Hui Li and Nakajima Michika just didn't like eating wild vegetables.

There was no reason at all.

Even if Beichuan Si made them delicious, not liking them meant not liking them.

"No matter what face you make, it's useless," Beichuan Si, dressed in casual clothes, said without turning his head: "These next few days, other than basic meats and eggs, we will only have wild vegetables for the veggie portions, so prepare yourselves mentally."

After leaving these words behind, Beichuan Si stood up and checked his belongings again.

"Brother Temple, are you going out?" Beichuan Hui Li raised her head.

"Yeah," Beichuan Si nodded, adding, "I have something to take care of with Mirai, so I might be back late. If I'm not home by five o'clock, you and Nakajima go out and find a restaurant to solve the dinner problem."

After finishing this sentence, Beichuan Si left the house without looking back, leaving Beichuan Hui Li and Nakajima Michika at home, looking at each other.

The two of them originally wanted to discuss the relationship between Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai.

But considering the trouble of discussing this matter, they closed their mouths full of lethargy and lay down on the sofa.

The date was May 25th, a Saturday.

June wasn't far away.

The weather in Tokyo was gradually becoming hot and dry, under such circumstances, taking a nap was an acceptable action.

Two "Salty Eggs" lay comfortably on the sofa, enjoying the cool breeze from the air conditioning, bodies relaxed—

...

On the other side.

The meeting place Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai had agreed on was at the Magong Family mall.

The reason was that a new fruit ice cream drink had been released there, popular among girls.

It had been mentioned before that Beichuan Si actually didn't like these sour and sweet drinks, but since Shen Gu Mirai requested, Beichuan Si wasn't the type to quibble over such a small matter.

"It should be here."

Beichuan Si looked up at the storefront in front of him, put away his phone, and walked in.

It was an exquisite and small storefront. Next to it, a few youthful and beautiful young girls were sitting at the tables, seemingly high school students by their looks.

Just as Beichuan Si was about to look for Shen Gu Mirai inside the shop—

Something was added to his back.

Someone hugged him.

At the same time, a cheerful voice rang out:

"Mr. Temple, good afternoon."

With that, even without turning around, Beichuan Si knew that the person behind him was Shen Gu Mirai.

He briefly acknowledged and then turned around to point inside towards the seats: "Let's talk over there."

After Shen Gu Mirai sat down and ordered a special fruit ice cream, Beichuan Si began to talk about the matter at hand.

"You have something for me?!" Shen Gu Mirai blinked her eyes in surprise.

"Yeah, I had some gains last time that I have no use for, so I thought of giving them to you," Beichuan Si said simply.

Last time's gains?

Shen Gu Mirai's eyes sparkled as she stuffed white ice cream into her mouth and chuckled twice, making a harmless little joke: "What are you giving me, is it not an engagement ring?"

As soon as she said this, Beichuan Si, who was reaching for something, suddenly stopped.

His black eyes stared calmly at Shen Gu Mirai.

The intense gaze made Shen Gu Mirai's mouth drop open.

Was it really an engagement ring?!

She was just joking.

With joy churning inside her, Shen Gu Mirai was about to ask Beichuan Si to show her the gift he was going to give her, but then—

"Not giving it anymore," Beichuan Si said calmly, taking a sip of his chilled oolong tea.

"Ah?!" Shen Gu Mirai's expression tensed.

Was Beichuan Si... upset because she had guessed his thoughts correctly?

But that shouldn't be the case, right? Mr. Temple wasn't that kind of person, was he?

Shen Gu Mirai leaned forward, as if she wanted to put her face right up close to Beichuan Si's.

She hoped that by using this forceful manner, she could make Beichuan Si give in.

But—

"Not giving it anymore," Beichuan Si repeated.

Hmm????

Was he really upset?

Her mouth twitched.

Being upset over something like this... Shen Gu Mirai really hadn't expected Beichuan Si to be so childish.

"I'm not upset,"

Beichuan Si took a sip of oolong tea and explained.

"You are upset," Shen Gu Mirai pouted, still fixated on the gift Beichuan Si was about to give: "Otherwise why won't you let me see the gift?"

Beichuan Si put down the glass, feeling the cool touch of the cup wall, and asked, "Do you really want to see it?"

"Yes!"

Shen Gu Mirai answered without a moment's hesitation.

At the same time, she fixed her gleaming, wide eyes on Beichuan Si without blinking.

"..." Beichuan Si.

Without speaking, he just stretched out his hand in front of Shen Gu Mirai, pointing towards his own cheek.
