A beautiful girl, Tomoko Hayasaka, is sitting in front of Sawai Manabu's left, wearing a black sleeveless V-neck dress. She is currently a fourth-year student in the Faculty of Literature at Touto University and serves as the vice president of the Reasoning Research Club.

Hayasaka's black hair reached her neck, with a slight curl at the end and a middle-parted fringe that barely covered her delicate eyebrows. She crossed her arms and laid them flat on the wooden table. She turned to look at Sawai and teased playfully:

“Yo, are you sure you’re not describing yourself?

Playboy, Mr. Sawai~?"

"what?"

Sawai Manabu looked at Hayasaka Tomoko in confusion.

A handsome boy, Shigehisa Noguchi, sat to the left of Chinatsu Miyazaki. He was wearing a blue shirt and had short crew cut hair. He was currently a sophomore in the Faculty of Literature at Touto University. He looked at Sawai cheerfully and jokingly revealed:

"Boss, I heard about it!

Just a few days ago, you made a girl in the first grade cry for you~"

The voice just fell.

"what!!"

Miyazaki Chinatsu looked at Sawai Manabu in great surprise and confirmed incredulously:

"is that true?"

"Really? Why are you bringing up something so weird at a time like this?"

Sawai Manabu did not respond to Miyazaki Chinatsu. He looked at Noguchi Shigehisa awkwardly and changed the subject as a reminder:

"The point of today is to celebrate Asami's birthday, right?"

"Hahaha~"

Shigehisa Noguchi smiled heartily.

Hayasaka Tomoko lowered her head slightly, closed her beautiful eyes, and added gracefully:

"We are not only celebrating Mami's birthday, but also celebrating that her novel won the Newcomer Award a few days ago."

at the same time.

A fat boy, Morimoto Yoshinobu, sat on the right of Sawai Manabu. He was wearing a light pink shirt, half-round frame glasses, short black hair, bangs tilted to the left, and half-hiding his eyebrows. He was currently a third-year student in the Faculty of Literature at Touto University, and looked at Hayasaka Tomoko calmly.

next second.

Sawai Manabu looked at Morimoto Yoshinobu and said casually:

“What a shame, Morimoto.

I heard your novel was also a finalist."

“There’s nothing I can do…!”

Morimoto Kishinori pressed his temple with his right hand, placed his left hand flat on the wooden table, looked at Sawai Manabu embarrassedly, and said sincerely with full conviction:

"After all, I lost to our club's most promising newcomer, Asami."

The voice just fell.

"To be honest, I lost too."

Noguchi Shigehisa pointed his right index finger at his chin, looked at Miyazaki Chinatsu happily, and said to himself as he pleased:

"I lost to Asami in the finals of the literature club's tennis match."

"Besides, Asami won the Toudou school beauty contest in her first year!"

Miyazaki Chinatsu looked at Noguchi Shigehisa with a little excitement, then changed the subject and said with a sad heart:

"I didn't even make it to the qualifiers...!"

at the same time.

"I really admire Asami."

Hayasaka Tomoko leaned forward slightly, supporting the wooden table with her left elbow, resting her cheek on her palm, holding a glass of ice and beer on her right shoulder, looking lazily at Noguchi Shigehisa, and narrating elegantly:

"She can do almost anything and never gets cocky."

"And her cooking skills are also very high~"

Shigehisa Noguchi looked at Tomoko Hayasaka and smiled as if in the spring breeze.

"So to say......"

Sawai Manabu listened to Noguchi Shigehisa's words and remembered something. He lowered his head and glanced at the table, describing it in confusion:

"I didn't see her lemon pie."

at the same time.

Suzuki Sonoko was leaning against the spacious corridor outside the door, wearing a black tube top, gray shorts, and a green headband.

She held the pink ceramic plate with delicious food in both hands, gently kicked open the wooden door, and walked towards the wooden table at a leisurely pace. After hearing what Sawai Manabu said, she looked politely at him not far to the left in front of her, and explained with a friendly smile:

"Asami-senpai is baking lemon pie with Ran."

Manabu Sawai has not yet responded.

"what?"

Morimoto Yoshinobu held the wine glass in his right hand over the table, looked at Suzuki Sonoko in surprise, and recalled in confusion:

"I remember Mami said... to make lemon pie at home and bring it over."

"Then I don't know~!"

Suzuki Sonoko smiled prettily, placed the ceramic plate carefully on the wooden table, and walked slowly to the empty seat on the right side of Princess Mira.

Mira saw the garden getting closer and closer, and she sat up straight involuntarily, as if facing a great enemy.

Dongfang Haoyue and Kudo Shinichi held the juice in their hands and hung it on their collars, quietly looking at the calm Suzuki Sonoko.

Yuanzi stopped at the right side of the wooden chair to Mira's right, sat down slowly, turned his head to look at her, and said gently:

"Don't be nervous, Miss Mira."

"Who, who is nervous?"

Princess Mira placed her hands on her legs, unwilling to be outdone, and stared at Suzuki Sonoko stubbornly, suppressing her panicked resentment in her heart and saying:

"Really? If Haoyue and Yuanzi hadn't become boyfriend and girlfriend, why would I need to ask Yuanzi for permission for Haoyue and I to be together? Why would I worry about upsetting Yuanzi?"

"don’t worry."

Suzuki Sonoko seemed to see through Princess Mira's thoughts. She leaned to the left, put her red lips close to her ear, and declared war in a very low voice:

"Whether you please me or not, I will not agree to you being with Dongfang."

"W-what?"

Princess Mira was subconsciously surprised, and said with anger burning in her heart:

"If you hadn't gotten there first, you wouldn't have the right to talk to me like this!"

"To be honest, I admire your courage."

Suzuki Sonoko wanted to tease Princess Mira more, so she acted out her acting skills in the blink of an eye, smiled lightly, and narrated in a low voice with interest:

"You could have kept it a secret from me and made friends with Dongfang in private, or you could have become good friends with me first and then asked me to allow you to be with Dongfang, but...

But after seeing me today, you took the risk of making me angry and said in private, "I want to be good friends with Sonoko, and hope that Sonoko will allow me to be with Dongfang at the same time as she is with Dongfang."

Of course, Xiaolan has already told me your thoughts. I know that you didn't become friends with me first before telling me the truth in order to avoid making me sad later."

Without waiting for Princess Mira to respond, Suzuki Sonoko transformed herself into the eldest daughter of a consortium and declared her sovereignty. She said in a stern voice:

"Although I appreciate your honesty, in order to make you give up, I don't mind telling you bluntly...

Whether you are my good friend or not, I will not agree with you being with Dongfang."

"You... damn..."

Princess Mira bit her red lips and wanted to accuse Suzuki Sonoko of being too domineering, but she knew she was in the wrong. She forced herself to suppress her emotions, and her pretty face inevitably turned red, symbolizing anger.

Yuanzi smiled calmly.

Dongfang Haoyue could not hear Suzuki Sonoko's gentle voice. He looked up at Princess Mira's profile and thought worriedly in his heart:

"This is not a good situation...Mira's blushing is a sign of anger...

Although it seems that they won't quarrel for the time being, if Sonoko continues to provoke Mira...

No, no, Mira won't quarrel with Sonoko.

Today is Ms. Mami's birthday, and there are many outsiders at the scene. According to Mira's character, she will not ruin the mood of irrelevant people just for a momentary anger."

Dongfang Haoyue thought of this and looked at Princess Mira with full trust.

Mira clenched her fists and placed them between her legs, looking at Yuanzi very unwillingly, without noticing Haoyue's gaze.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Princess Mira and then at Suzuki Sonoko, and asked curiously in his heart:

"What did Sonoko say that made Mira so angry but unable to speak? I really want to hear it!"

The thought just fell.

"Sorry for the wait~~~"

Asami Uchida was leaning outside the door, wearing a brown sleeveless dress. She put her hands on Xiaolan's shoulders in front of her, pushed her into the living room, and looked at everyone with a beautiful smile.

Everyone was slightly stunned and looked at Mami and Xiaolan with different emotions.

Xiaolan was wearing an open blue and white plaid shirt and a dark blue dress. She held a silver tray with a large lemon pie of average shape in both hands. She walked hesitantly towards the wooden table and made an awkward wish in her heart:

"I made a terrible lemon pie, I hope you won't blame me...!"

"Wow, it's lemon pie!!"

Shigehisa Noguchi glanced at the lemon pie and clapped his hands in approval.

Six seconds later.

Xiaolan put the tray on the table, and everyone saw the true appearance of the lemon pie.

Noguchi Shigehisa put his hands on his legs, a drop of cold sweat on his cheeks, and commented dumbly:

“Oh, what a mess…!”

"Is this really the lemon pie that Mami made?"

Manabu Sawai casually extinguished his cigarette in the glass ashtray on the table, leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the edge of the table, and looked at the lemon pie with doubt in his heart.

"No, it's not the lemon pie that Asami-senpai made."

Xiaolan stood behind Suzuki Sonoko to the right, with her hands folded in front of her. She looked at Sawai Manabu awkwardly and explained awkwardly:

“This is my first time making lemon pie, it might not be that good…!”
