Faced with Yui Yuigahama's pleading gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a headache coming on.
However, we can't let her ask for gifts herself, otherwise Yukino Yukinoshita would be seen as a woman who takes advantage of kindness.
"Kanaga-kun, tell me, what's the best way to solve Yuigahama-san's problem?"
Yukino Yukinoshita, who didn't want to think, directly shifted the blame to Shinji Kaminaga.
Shinji Kaminaga looked at her affectionately and said with a smile, "If you ask me, Yuihama-san, you don't need to be so troubled. When expressing gratitude, the important thing is the sentiment, not asking others what they specifically want."
"Take teenage boys as an example. Actually, boys' thoughts are quite easy to understand."
"When he's with a cute girl, a friendly gesture or a loving look from her can make him so happy that he'll be completely absorbed in her for the whole day, and he might even think that she's interested in him."
"This is how the idea that 'she likes me,' one of the three great illusions of life, came about."
"Stop! Kaminaga-kun, I'm not interested in hearing your love life story. Please get to the point!"
Yukino Yukinoshita quickly raised her hand to stop him from continuing to talk nonsense. She herself felt embarrassed listening to him. Didn't she see that Shoko, Shiina Mahiru, and Yuigahama Yui were all uncomfortable?
Shinji Kaminaga curled his lip. "Yukino, at least have some patience."
"What I mean is, Yuihama-san, you could easily choose to send a small gift, like dessert or cookies, to express your gratitude."
"This way, you can express your feelings sincerely and also satisfy the other person's appetite, which is a win-win situation."
"By the way, the cookies Shiina gave me last time were so delicious, I've already eaten them all. When are you going to make some for me with Yukino and Shoko?"
At this point, he had already shamelessly and excessively asked for a gift.
Yukino Yukinoshita felt an itch to touch him, her eyes already scanning his waist. If it weren't for Yui Yuigahama, whom she didn't know well, she would have already made her move.
That bastard, flirting with Shiina right in front of her, does he think Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't exist?
Shiina Mahiru's cheeks flushed from the praise. She glanced at him shyly, waved her hand, and said, "It's not that delicious, is it? I just made it according to the recipe in the cookbook. Anyone could make it taste just as good!"
"No, it's different!" Yukino Yukinoshita said, exchanging a glance with Shoko Nishimiya, and then stepped forward to take Shiina Mahiru's small hand in tacit agreement.
"You're not being honest, Shiina-kun!"
"Exactly! They've been hiding something! Please teach us!"
I absolutely have to learn the dessert-making method that Kaminaga-kun can't forget!
Whether you do it or not is one thing and whether you know how to do it!
Shiina Mahiru was somewhat amused and exasperated, but she nodded nonetheless. "Fine, I'll teach you, okay?"
She felt touched and cherished her friendship with Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Nishimiya even more.
Seeing the girls acting like best friends, Yui Yuigahama quietly raised her hand.
"Um, Mahiru, could you take me with you?"
"I've decided, I'm going to make cookies as a thank you gift!"
Her resolute expression made Yukino Yukinoshita nod in satisfaction.
"Alright, in that case, let's start learning how to make cookies from Shiina this afternoon!"
Although she knows how to make cookies, Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Nishimiya would rather learn Mahiru Shiina's method.
Shinji Kaminaga nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the energetic girls.
I'm in for a treat this afternoon.
Of course, as long as you don't eat what Yui Yuigahama makes, it's not a big problem.
Yui Yuigahama is terrible at cooking, and her mother usually doesn't let her into the kitchen. Her bento boxes are made for her by Mrs. Yuigahama every day.
"Alright, now that we've finalized today's club activities, shouldn't we have lunch?"
Shinji Kaminaga took out his lunchbox and raised an eyebrow at the girls.
"May I stay here and eat with you?"
Yui Yuigahama was also holding her bento box, looking at the others with a pitiful expression.
Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, "It's not a problem. We're meeting again this afternoon, after all. Yuihama-san, let's eat together."
"Yay, Yukinoshita-san is the best!"
Yui Yuigahama cheered.
Nishimiya Shoko and Shiina Mahiru flanked her, each taking a arm from Yui Yuigahama.
"Yui, do you mean only Yukinoshita is good, and the two of us aren't?"
"Yeah, Yui, your attitude is off!"
Faced with the accusations from Shiina Mahiru and Nishimiya Shoko, Yui Yuigahama quickly begged for mercy.
"No, that's not true. Shoko and Mahiru are super, super nice too, I love you two the most!"
"No—don't say that!" Shiina Mahiru released her arm and quickly waved her hand. "People who don't know might think there's something wrong with our sexual orientation."
Nishimiya Shoko also curled her lip in disdain, "Yeah, you should still say that to Yukino."
Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes. "Can't a bento box shut you up? Don't you want to eat?"
As for the issue of sexual orientation, does she need to consider it?
She stole a glance at someone and found that he was looking at her too. When their eyes met, Yukino Yukinoshita blushed.
"Ahem, we can start eating now, stop standing there."
After saying that, she opened her lunchbox first.
Shiina Mahiru and Nishimiya Shoko exchanged a smile, then tacitly returned to their seats and opened their bento boxes.
Then, Yui Yuigahama looked at the bento boxes of the group and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Why are your lunchboxes exactly the same as Kaminaga's?"
Yukino Yukinoshita, Shoko Nishimiya, and Mahiru Shiina exchanged a glance and looked at Shinji Kaminaga in unison, signaling him to answer.
Shinji Kaminaga calmly waved his hand and offered an explanation.
"The reason is simple: the bento boxes are all made by Yukino, Mahiru, and Shoko, and they take turns making them."
"We all live in the same building, have a good relationship, and are good friends in the same club, so we cook together. Anyway, we go to and from school together every day, so it doesn't affect anything."
Upon hearing this, Yui Yuigahama nodded in sudden understanding.
"Oh, I see."
But this is completely abnormal!
Yui Yuigahama's gaze swept over the group, and she felt increasingly strange.
Isn't the relationship between these three girls and Shinji Kaminaga a bit too good?
They've reached the point where they can team up and cook for him at his house—that's something only a girlfriend would do!
Could it be that all three of them are dating Shinji Kaminaga?
Haha, that's impossible!
Kaminaga doesn't seem like a jerk either.
Hmm, it really does look like it!
He's so handsome, he's obviously up to no good!
