Kurama Yakumo looks shy and introverted, but after getting to know him, he is actually quite talkative.

As the two of them ate and drank together, he got a rough idea of ​​each other's situation.

Now Kurama Sogumo is not dead yet, that is to say, the monster named "Ido" in Yakumo's heart has not yet gone berserk, and the other party has just met Yuhi Kurenai, so this time point is a great advantage.

Hanami Akira admitted that he approached Kurama Yakumo with ulterior motives. He was just greedy for the rewards from the other party.

Of course, in addition to being greedy for rewards, he is also greedy for the other party's small wallet.

This may sound a bit outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, Yakumo is actually not a loser at all!

First of all, as a person with integrity and bottom line, Huajianming will not attack minors.

What's more, Yakumo is not his ideal type, so except for some minor and inconspicuous rumors as an excuse, the other party will not lose anything.

The next most important point is that since he has intervened and is preparing to enlist the boss to detonate Ido's bomb in advance, Yakumo's parents will not die.

Calculating it this way, Hua Jianming feels that this is a win-win situation!

He gets rewards and eats for free, while Yakumo can solve Ido's hidden dangers and save Kurama and his wife. It's a huge profit for both parties!

Speaking of which, human life is at stake. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If he saved two people, wouldn't it be better than building a fourteen-level pagoda?

With this in mind, Hanami Akira, who was still a little uneasy at first, gradually became calmer, and his calm attitude also affected Yakumo.

As a genius who specializes in illusions and has extremely high mental strength, Yakumo is very sensitive to other people's emotions.

She could feel that Hua Jianming did have a crush on her, but this calm attitude and getting along with her was not like the "dating" atmosphere she had imagined before. Instead, it was more... normal?

Probably, it was just like the atmosphere when she enviously watched other classmates go out to play in groups.

So, is this a misunderstanding? Is Ming-chan really here to make friends?

Yakumo suddenly felt a little regretful, but it would be nice to have a friend!

Besides, we are just friends now, but not necessarily in the future...

Thinking this way, Kurama Yakumo also became calmer, not as restrained as he was at the beginning, as if he relaxed after getting to know the person.

It was precisely because of this that Hanami Akira thought that Yakumo had a normal attitude only after getting to know him well.

"Speaking of which, what does Yakumo usually do to pass the time?"

After walking on the street for a while and eating two skewers of meatballs, Hua Jianming felt that instead of just eating and strolling around, it would be better to do some activities that would make it easier to get closer and get to know each other better.

However, unlike during the Konoha Festival, there were no entertainment stalls everywhere, and he didn't know what these people's entertainment usually was.

"Normally, I mainly practice illusion and draw, right? Sometimes I also arrange flowers or make small snacks."

Yakumo thought for a while and realized that his pastimes were actually quite few.

"My health is actually very poor. I can't practice for a long time or do strenuous exercise, so I can only do some quiet activities. What about you, Ming-chan?"

"As for me, it's probably about practicing cultivation, reading books, and writing novels?"

Hua Jianming thought about it and found that his life was quite monotonous.

At this time, TV programs and games were relatively backward. For people who came from the era of the Internet explosion, they can only be said to be better than nothing.

"By the way, I have a good idea! Yakumo, don't you know how to cook?"

Hua Jianming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he came up with an idea that killed two birds with one stone.

They have just finished eating the three-color meatball snacks and are not very hungry yet, and it is not too late now. How can the food cooked outside be as delicious as the one made by oneself?

Of course, more importantly, his refrigerator is not full yet!

"How about we buy something for dinner?"

"pretty good idea!"

Kurama Yakumo's eyes also lit up.

Flower arranging and painting are not easy to display now, and they take a long time, but cooking skills can!

It's fun to think about cooking with Ming-chan.

After the two reached an agreement, they quickly went to the grocery shopping street and started a crazy shopping spree.

"This green vegetable feels very juicy, so I bought it!"

“The beef and chicken are very fresh! Buy them now!”

“Both cabbage and carrots are extremely nutritious, buy them!”

"The shrimps and fish are so lively! I bought them too!"

"..."

Hua Jianming looked at his hands holding four bags in each hand with satisfaction.

Although it is heavy, these should be enough to fill your refrigerator, which gives you a sense of accomplishment!

In response, Yakumo looked apologetic.

"Sorry, Ming-chan, I wanted to buy everything I saw, but I couldn't carry it..."

"Haha, Yakumo, what are you talking about? It's you who spent the money, it's me who should say I'm sorry."

"How about I help carry some?"

"No, no, no, save some energy, I will show off your skills later!"

Hanami Akira didn't dare to let Yakumo do heavy work. In fact, his so-called taking Yakumo to cook was just to give him a sense of ceremony and accomplishment.

Of course he is the chef! Otherwise, he would really not be used to Japanese food.

The two of them walked to Hanami Akira's apartment while chatting and laughing, and then saw a short figure holding a large box in front of them.

As if hearing their voices, the man looked back and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Ah!! So cunning! What do you mean by dating a girl?"

Naruto, who was rejected, looked at Hanami Akira sadly and angrily, this was completely forgetting his friends!

Be severely condemned!

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just an appointment with a friend."

Hanami answered without changing his expression, and then looked at the large box in Naruto's hand.

With Naruto's shaky movements, most of the contents of the originally unsealed box were exposed - buckets of instant noodles.

Hua Jianming's expression suddenly became complicated. His eyes fell on the handwritten date on the box and he couldn't help but frown.

That was a year and a half ago.

Even though the shelf life of instant noodles is relatively long, it must have expired now, right?!

"It's okay, it's just expired for half a year."

Sensing Hanami Akira's gaze, Naruto waved his hand as if he didn't care.

"I've eaten all the ones that have been expired for a year, and I only have a few diarrheas at most. It's no problem after half a year. It happened that these expired ones couldn't be sold, so I bought them all back at a low price."

Obviously, Naruto has long been accustomed to this.

Hanami Akira pursed his lips and looked at Yakumo, and Yakumo apparently understood his gaze and smiled before he could speak.

"Ming-chan, it just so happens that we can't finish all the ingredients we bought, so why not let this classmate come with us!"

"really."

Hanajian Ming also smiled when he heard this. He walked forward and took away the pile of expired instant noodles with some disgust and piled them in the corner of the aisle.

"Let's go, Naruto, you haven't eaten either, right? Let's get together."
