Chapter 506 (1/2)
<hr><hr>
Tengu City, Itsuka residence…
The hallway entrance's door was pushed open, some people came in while saying Tadaima. Their voice echoed throughout the empty living room.
Wu Yan walked into the living room like a living dead. He wavered left and right with swirly eyes. He made his way over to the sofa and he crashed into it.
”Seriously, isn't it a bit too early for you to act like an old man?”
s.h.i.+ori grumbled.
”You don't understand…”
Wu Yan raised his hand, he retorted in a tired voice.
”You try being glared at by those boys who are putting curly ones on the soap all day long, then, you will understand why I am like this…”
Kurumi and Kotori laughed out loud. s.h.i.+ori recalled how the students stared at Wu Yan with dark eyes. She also remembered how Wu Yan got through the day by fake sleeping on his desk. She started pitying Wu Yan instead of being upset with him.
”s.h.i.+do…”
Tohka approached the sofa and she apologized in a self-blaming tone.
”I am sorry, it's my fault, s.h.i.+do…”
Wu Yan opened his eyes and he turned towards Tohka. He bitterly smiled after seeing Tohka's sad look.
”Why are you saying sorry? It's not your fault.”
”It's not?”
Tohka mewled.
”I thought I said something wrong and that made you feel so down, it's not?”
”No, really, it's not Tohka…”
Your words only added fuel to the fire.
Wu Yan didn't say that last part. He sat up and he rubbed Tohka's head.
”It's fine, cheer up…”
”I think you should practice what you preach.”
s.h.i.+ori said while Kurumi and Kotori laughed at him again.
Tohka beamed up, she blushed a bit and she continued enjoying Wu Yan's petting. It's like she's a cute kitten asking for some affection.
Kurumi tilted her head with an index finger to her chin.
”s.h.i.+do-san, I have a request…”
Kurumi attracted everyone's attention. Wu Yan looked at her with puzzlement.
”What's that?”
”Ara ara…”
Kurumi placed her hands at her cheeks while twisting around in a bashful manner.
”Erm, about tonight's dinner, how about you let me do it.”
”Ha?”
Wu Yan, Kotori, Tohka, and s.h.i.+ori all uttered in surprise. Wu Yan stood up in bewilderment.
”Kurumi, you can cook?”
”I can…”
Kurumi winked at him.
”I was living by myself, I would have died from starvation if I don't know how to make my own food…”
Wait, I thought you ate humans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
Wu Yan and Kotori silently retorted. They exchanged looks and they saw the funny expressions they had. They laughed at themselves while Kurumi narrowed her eyes at them.
”I am getting the distinct feeling that you two are being rude to me, somehow…”
Wu Yan and Kotori panicked while shaking their heads in denial.
