Helplessly, Imagawa Kaede had to agree to their proposal, and the original team of three people became seven people.

Things seemed to be developing in the direction that Kaguya Shinomiya had envisioned, but reality proved that she was indeed taking things for granted, not to mention Mahiru Shiina and Ryugumo Momo who had always been following Imagawa Kaede.

As for herself, she couldn't find a topic to talk about with Imagawa Kaede. Originally, she thought she could use Fujiwara Chika to get in touch with Imagawa Kaede, and then have a friendly conversation to restore their previous relationship. She found the person, but in the end, Fujiwara Chika kept asking questions around Imagawa Kaede and didn't give her a chance to interrupt.

As for Fujiwara Chika's thoughts, it was not intentional. She naturally knew that the original owner liked Shinomiya Kaguya, and she asked all kinds of questions just to ease the embarrassment after the two met.

After all, in her opinion, neither of them was wrong. After all, it was not wrong for the original owner to like someone, and it was her freedom to refuse. Now that she saw Imagawa Kaede and Shiina Mahiru as a couple, she felt relieved. In her opinion, this was a good thing for both Imagawa Kaede and Shinomiya Kaguya.

In that case, all she can do is try to liven up the atmosphere and make things less awkward for everyone.

However, her idea actually became an obstacle for Kaguya Shinomiya. Besides, Kaguya Shinomiya was used to the previous mode of getting along with the original owner, who would take the initiative to find topics to chat with her.

It is indeed difficult for her to take the initiative to find topics to chat with Imagawa Kaede now, and the topics she can usually think of have been talked about by Fujiwara Chika and others.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand Shinomiya Kaguya's feelings. She actually has very few friends, or even no friends at all.

In the past, when the original owner was around her, she might have felt it was a bit noisy, but now that Imagawa Kaede no longer hangs around her, she feels a bit lonely and deserted.

In the past, I would always think about how to reject Imagawa Kaede's invitation to go out and play on weekends, or when I was really bored, I would drag Fujiwara Chika and the original owner out for a walk together. But now it's different.

On the contrary, the angel who was rarely sought after in the past has become more and more popular. After all, most of the students in Shuchiin University are from wealthy families, and it is indeed unlikely that they would not consider the background at all when building relationships.

It can almost be said that Shiina Mahiru will be Mrs. Imagawa in the future, and Shinomiya Kaguya may become something else in the future, but in comparison, one is the future mistress of a chaebol family, and the other is the daughter of a chaebol family but has three older brothers. In the future, she will most likely be a tool for marriage. Isn't the difference in business obvious?

No matter what kind of flowers they are, they need green leaves to serve as a foil. Whether it's a princess, a lady from a wealthy family, or a beautiful girl from a small family, the difference is sometimes more than just appearance.

Among the boys at Shuchiin University, Imagawa Kaede is undoubtedly the best if we only consider his identity and background.

Therefore, the girls at Shuchiin University envied Mahiru Shiina's good luck, but at the same time they wanted to have a good relationship with the future "Mrs. Imagawa".

At the same time, he felt regretful for why he couldn't improve his favorability in front of Imagawa Kaede before. Of course, there are only a few people who are willing to take the blame on themselves. Most people would rather blame the mistake on Shinomiya Kaguya who was standing in the toilet without doing anything.

What's worse, some people have already started to stir up trouble. After all, you, Miss Kaguya, are the perfect superhero who pursues free love, while I am just a vain and vulgar woman. I can't compare to you, and I'm not worthy to be compared with you, but can't I just avoid you if I can't afford to offend you?

In addition, Mrs. Imagawa is actively developing some business issues (deliberate revenge). These rich kids who have some ability in their families are naturally not blind and deaf. We can't stop your Shinomiya family and the Imagawa family from doing whatever they want. Your Shinomiya family is rich and powerful, so I dare not add insult to injury. But can't I say a few words behind their backs?

This situation further aggravated Shinomiya Kaguya's situation, not to mention that Imagawa Kaede deliberately avoided Shinomiya Kaguya. It was obvious to everyone that your excessive politeness did not show the way we wanted to be friends.

Today's mountain climbing activity slowly ended with Kaguya Shinomiya's forced smile. What made Kaguya Shinomiya even more uncomfortable was that at the end, when Shijo Shinki suggested that everyone exchange lines, the flip phone in her hand obviously could not meet this requirement.

This made Kaguya Shinomiya, who originally thought that her mobile phone was pretty good (it didn't matter if she didn't join the class group on Line), think for the first time whether she should change her mobile phone.

However, after dinner, the four concubines sent a line.

[Shijo Maki: I am very happy today. Thank you, Imagawa-kun. ]

【Can’t play basketball: Well, I had a lot of fun playing it. 】

[Four: Why is your Line nickname "Can't Play Basketball"? ]

【Have you never watched Slam Dunk? 】

[Shijo: No, but what do you think of me compared to Kaguya Shinomiya, Imagawa-kun? ]

【What's the meaning? 】

[Shijo: From childhood to adulthood, she and I have been compared together for so long, and everyone says that we are very similar. Don’t Imagawa-kun think that I am actually better than her? ]

Although Imagawa Kaede complained in his heart that you two were several generations apart and yet you still could play such a boring game, he still typed a reply.

[How should I put it? After all, I used to get used to her. Although she has moved on to someone else, it is still a bit... to compare her with others and criticize her shortcomings...]

This reply actually hardly explains the problem. After all, he is chatting with the woman in front of him, and Imagawa Kaede is not stupid enough to really compete with her. However, his experience made him subconsciously write the words "criticize shortcomings". After all, he can still guess some of Shijo Shinki's thoughts.

After seeing Imagawa Kaede's answer, Shijo Maki also felt it was normal, but her original idea was not about this, this was just an introduction.

[Shijo: Should I say you are worthy of being called Imagawa-kun? To be honest, I actually like Imagawa-kun a little bit. Before, Imagawa-kun... I thought my charm was not as good as Shinomiya-kun. ]

Perhaps worried that Imagawa Kaede might misunderstand, Shijo Maki added another sentence.

[If Imagawa-kun hadn't been with Shiina-san, he would have been a very good boyfriend, right? Would Imagawa-kun accept my feelings? ]

Hearing this, Imagawa Kaede almost spit out the water in his mouth. Confession on Line? Don't mess with me.

If he guessed correctly, it should mean that Imagawa Kaede would kick Shiina Mahiru and then the two of them would live together, this...

Imagawa Kaede absolutely cannot agree to this. Although he is a little... but he also has a bottom line, okay?

[…Okay, stop joking. If you’re okay, I have something else to do.]

[Si Tiao: Okay, okay, no more jokes. Since you don't agree, I will call you Feng Jun from now on, and you can also call me Zhen Fei. You can't be so heartless that you won't even agree to such a small request from others? ]

[No, bye. 】

[You... I don't care. Next time I see you, I will call you Feng Jun. If you don't call me by my name, I will keep calling you by your name.]

Seeing this, Imagawa Kaede felt a little depressed. Why did this rogue method feel so familiar?

【Then I will avoid you from now on. 】

After leaving a "harsh" remark, Imagawa Kaede put away his phone.

The time has come to 6:30 in the evening. Aunt Asai will arrive around 7 o'clock. I should take the initiative to greet her later. Although there is no need to do so based on the status between us, it is still right to do so based on our friendship.

As for Shijo Shinki on the other side, she put down her phone after seeing the line message sent by Imagawa Kaede. Although Imagawa Kaede did not agree directly, this was actually his tacit consent.

She didn't understand why she did this. Maybe she wanted to piss off Kaguya Shinomiya? Maybe that was the case. She was very satisfied when she thought of Imagawa Kaede calling her name and Kaguya Shinomiya, "Shinomiya-san".

Her and Shinomiya Kaguya's birthdays are both January 1st. They are both the children in other people's eyes. The two have been together since childhood and have been compared for so many years. It is impossible to say that she has no thoughts in her heart.

Especially after the two grew up, Imagawa Kaede seemed to have been drugged by Shinomiya Kaguya. Although he didn't want to admit it, there were always people saying that his charm was not as good as that of Shinomiya Kaguya.

This has been said for a long time, and even though she doesn't care much about appearance, she will have some thoughts about it. What's more, some people will bring up whether a person's personality is likable or not, or whether he or she is gentle or not, which she can't tolerate even more.

But now, seeing that her situation was not very good, she naturally had to intervene. Moreover, in her opinion, this Miss Kaguya was most likely interested in Imagawa Kaede, but she just hadn't discovered it in the end.

In this case, if I push her a little, will some strange chemical reaction occur?

She couldn't imagine this, but she thought the plot should be much more interesting than the melodramatic TV series she discussed with the girls in her class.

At the same time, Imagawa Kaede called Dojima Gin.

"Chef Dojima, the time for tonight's shokugeki should remain the same, right?"

"It will start at about 7:30. If you need, we can go earlier or later."

"Well, okay. If there's anything you need, I'll tell you. By the way, it shouldn't be a problem for me to bring a few more people with me then, right?"

"Uh... that's no problem, just don't record it."

After saying that, Imagawa Kaede hung up the phone. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

……

The time soon came to 6:55 in the evening. What made Imagawa Kaede unwise was that Aunt Asai called him after she had already arrived.

In response to this, he had no choice but to stand up and prepare to go down, while Long Zhutao beside him followed.

As for Mahiru, she was pulled away by the quintuplets again because the dear teacher Kirisu started to pay attention to their grades again, probably wanting to have a heart-to-heart talk with them or something.

As for Shiina Mahiru, maybe she was pulled over as a reassurance because the others were too afraid of the majestic female teacher?

Imagawa Kaede didn't say anything about this. What else could he say? He shouldn't have been greedy for those missions in the first place, and let Mahiru teach these idiots and cowards, and even wanted to drag Imagawa Kaede over.

As for the idea of ​​pulling Imagawa Kaede over, he naturally refused. After all, there were so many people and Imagawa Kaede would not be able to do anything if he went, not to mention that he had important things to do in the evening.

When they arrived at the hotel lobby, they saw Aunt Asai waiting for them on the sofa. Imagawa Kaede and Ryuju Momo went up to her and said hello.

"I'm really sorry to trouble Aunt Asai. You have to make a trip so late at night." Imagawa Kaede said with a smile.

"It's not a problem. Thanks to you, young master, Madam gave me half a day off. Not only can I go back tomorrow afternoon, but she also reimbursed my expenses here."

Perhaps because there were outsiders present, Aunt Asai's personality seemed to have changed. Based on the original owner's memory, he was not surprised.

"Hello, I'm Longzhu Tao, nice to meet you."

Facing Asai, the assistant beside Mrs. Imagawa, Ryujutao was still relatively humble.

However, in response to Longzhu Tao's initiative, Assistant Asai said:

"You are someone close to the young master, so you don't have to be so polite to me. If you need anything, you can call me." As he said that, he handed over a business card.

Imagawa Kaede was a little puzzled about this. It seemed that Aunt Asai didn't give Shiina Mahiru a business card or anything when she met her last time?

However, after the exchange between the two ended, he still smiled and said:

"By the way, has Aunt Asai had dinner?"

"I ate a little before coming here. Don't worry about me, Master. Just take care of your business first."

"There will be a shokugeki battle later. The two sides in the shokugeki battle are quite strange. It is between a student from Totsuki and Shinomiya Kojiro. We can go and have a look then. Aunt Asai can negotiate with the Shinomiya chef after the shokugeki battle is over."

"Is that so? Then let's see how good this man named Shinomiya Kojiro's cooking skills are. But Master, if this man's cooking skills don't match the investment he wants, I won't agree to your continued investment."

"This is actually not a big problem. Aunt Asai can just lower the price. From what I know, this person is quite short of money at the moment."

"We have discovered this in our previous investigation. Some of his shareholders in France are also trying to hinder him. The young master plans to raise the price..."

"It doesn't have to be too low. After all, it may be useful in the future. But it doesn't have to be too high. I don't want to waste money like that."

Hearing this, Aunt Asai smiled and said:

"Then I'll have to trouble you to play a double act with me. I'll negotiate a lower price, and you can just play the bad guy after he agrees."

……

Long Zhutao, who was standing by, was distracted by the two men's words, but she still had some sympathy for the chef Shigong.

As expected, there is a reason why her family is the rat that everyone hates, while the Imagawa family is a large family that has been passed down for many years. In her opinion, none of her father's subordinates are so cunning.
