Ever since she received this pendant, Yumemi had kept it around her neck at all times, except when sleeping or bathing.
She treasured the gift Ayanokouji Kiyohira gave her. Even if it was just an ordinary craft, she preferred to believe it was a priceless magical pendant that could bring her good luck.
…Both of Yumemi's statements were true.
Even if she had the chance to cheat, she wouldn't choose to.
"Hmm, you did very well. You're such a good child…" Ayanokouji Kiyohira smiled and picked up a piece of fish from his plate for her: "This is your reward."
"Don't treat me like a child!" Yumemi huffed, but a joyful smile spread across her face, clearly pleased by Ayanokoji's praise.
Seeing their warm interaction, Miharu Taki Sakura showed a hint of envy on her face.
"You two have such a good relationship…" she couldn't help but exclaim.
"Not really, Ayanokoji is usually very casual…" Yumemi's face flushed as she quickly explained.
"That's right, I often put food on their plates." Ayanokouji Kiyohira took over Yumemi's words, casually using a toothpick to transfer a piece of cantaloupe from his plate to Hanatemari Tsuzura's.
"Do you want some too?" Ayanokouji Kiyohira picked up another piece of fruit, looking up and asking Miharu Taki Sakura with a normal expression, as if he were asking if she wanted to buy a bottle of water.
Miharu Taki Sakura hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Hmm, put a piece on my plate too. I was just thinking of having some fruit."
Seeing this scene before her, Yumemi's expression froze.
That was just polite talk; Ayanokoji didn't often put food on people's plates!
And, if it was meant to be a reward for her, why was he putting food on everyone's plates?
She really wanted to stop him, but Ayanokouji Kiyohira was only doing it because of her words, so she couldn't bring herself to object. She could only glare at him unhappily, turning her indignation into appetite as she ate her dinner.
Yumemi strongly disliked Miharu Taki Sakura and didn't give her a pleasant look, clearly showing her hostility.
Miharu Taki Sakura was also well aware that there was a reason for it, so she just smiled helplessly and didn't mind.
Hanatemari Tsuzura, however, was very friendly towards Miharu Taki Sakura, and soon, Miharu Taki developed a good impression of Hanatemari.
As the two chatted, Hanatemari Tsuzura glanced at Ayanokoji, and then, whether intentionally or not, suddenly asked: "Senpai, you and Mibusakaomi are engaged, right? How does he treat you? Have you two considered when you'll get married?"
"Aoi… he treats me very well." Miharu Taki Sakura said this with little conviction herself, her eyes dimming: "As for marriage, it's too early for us. We haven't considered it."
Hanatemari continued to inquire: "Has Mibusakaomi taken you out to play? Actually, I want to go out with friends this weekend, but I don't know where would be a good place for us to go…"
Where had Mibusakaomi Aoi ever taken her out? Let alone Mibusakaomi Aoi taking her out, the number of scenic spots she had visited herself was few and far between.
If she had to say, there was indeed a scenic spot she had recalled multiple times in her dreams recently.
"…Yomiuri Land. The atmosphere there is nice, very suitable for friends to visit." Miharu Taki Sakura subconsciously glanced at Ayanokoji, and said in her usual calm tone: "There's a cherry blossom forest there, which is beautiful at night. I highly recommend it."
Yumemi also looked up at this moment, showing an excited expression: "I've heard about that too! They have a light show at night, it's great for couples… no, for friends to see together!"
Ever since Yumemi met Kei Karuizawa that day, she had been doing her homework, searching for an Amusement Park where she could confess to Ayanokouji Kiyohira. Besides Disney Land, Yomiuri Land was also her top choice.
In one area of the park, the lights were decorated with a gem concept, sparkling on the ground, forming a dreamlike array of gem-shaped colors.
At night, if a male and female friend rode the Mochiyasha, from above, this area would transform into a giant diamond ring.
