Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

"I'll make tea today."

After everyone arrived at the community office, Su Qing suddenly said.

"You want to make tea?"

When Xueno heard this, a trace of confusion and astonishment flashed in her eyes, as if her heart was disturbed by a sudden breeze.

You know, she has been doing this job in the past. Will Su Qing really sideline her one day?

"Well, I brought some tea from my home."

Su Qing took out two bags of exquisitely packaged black tea from her schoolbag. The brand was written in Chinese characters. Only Yukino and Hikigaya could understand some of it, but they had never heard of it.

"...Then come on."

Yukino didn't fight for it anymore.

Some teas do require a certain ratio of tea to water, as well as the time it takes to steep. If it is a more expensive tea, it would be a waste to try it for the first time. She knew this.

Since Yukino had boiled the water in advance, everyone quickly got a cup of steaming hot tea.

"It feels...no different."

Hikigaya took a sip and commented hesitantly.

"I'm too lazy to criticize. Wild boars have a hard time tasting fine bran."

Su Qing responded with a smile.

"Aren't they all black tea? They feel... similar."

Hikigaya said gloomily as he took another sip.

But he doesn't study this aspect much, maybe he really doesn't understand it.

After all, the packaging of this tea looks very high-end, why not search for it?

As he spoke, Hikigaya silently opened a shopping app on his phone.

"This tea... shouldn't be cheap, right? Is it really okay to take it out?"

Unlike Hikigaya and the others, Yukino was born into a prominent family after all, and she knew a little about the quality of tea through what she had heard and seen.

"Don't worry, my hometown is Fujian Province, which is a tea-making province. Besides, why do you have the illusion that I'm poor?"

Su Qing smiled easily, he understood that the other party meant well.

"This……"

Yukino didn't know what to say for a moment. Didn't she just hear the other party say that he was an abandoned child last time?

But it's also true... With the other party's ability, he might have already started making money through some means.

"This tea costs 90,000 Sakura Yuan per pound?!"

Here, Hikigaya just searched the price using the opened tea package and was shocked beyond words.

Damn, the second-generation rich is next to me?

No wonder the other party commented that he couldn't taste the finer details.

"How much? Ninety thousand?!"

Yui, who was silent at the side, was also shocked. When she heard the staggering price, even the teacup in her hand trembled.

"Be careful not to burn yourself."

Su Qing noticed it and reminded.

"Oh... S-sorry."

Yui held the cup with both hands, looking a little stiff and at a loss, lowered her head and whispered,

"It's probably because of the shipping cost and the season. Normally it's not that expensive, 50,000 Sakura yen is about right."

Su Qing said as he refilled their cups.

As to whether these are the reasons, I'm afraid only business people know.

And this is neon after all.

Hmm…so it’s normal that Hikigaya is “a little” more expensive when searched.

“That’s very expensive…”

Hikigaya took a deep breath and looked at Su Qing with something strange in his eyes.

"…It's just mid-range. Don't worry, it's not as high-end as you think. In fact, the tea leaves that Yukinoshita usually uses are the same."

Su Qing explained.

"Well...there are actually a lot of teas that are more expensive than this."

Yukino also helped.

After all, the price of tea itself is a small issue.

It would be a headache if everyone was a little cautious about this.

"You seem to like it very much? I'll bring you some when I go to your house this weekend?"

Su Qing suggested after seeing Hikigaya guzzling his tea.

"No... I think what I drank was not tea, but money."

Hikigaya said with tears in his eyes.

The current environment is not good, how can it be so easy to find a high-paying job? It is probably impossible for him to buy such expensive tea.

"weekend?"

Yukino asked in confusion.

"Well... we just agreed on this today."

Su Qing was speechless when he recalled today's misunderstanding. If he wanted to invite me to his house, he should have just invited me properly. He said something so strange that I thought he was going to do something.

“Actually, it’s my sister… She figured out what Cai and I were doing right away. Isn’t that scary?

Anyway... I told her everything that happened in Kyoto after she kept asking me to do so. After my sister found out, she insisted that I invite Su Qing to visit me over the weekend...

Oh, I forgot she asked me to invite you guys too, do you want to come?"

Hikigaya then remembered that Komachi had instructed to invite not only Su Qing, but everyone in the service club.

"my words……"

Yukino was a little hesitant at first, but Yui declined at this time: "Although I'm sorry, I won't do it, right? I have to... look after the house on the weekend."

"Guarding the house? I think Sabre is enough. And your mother should be at home during the day, so let's go together."

Yukino pinched her chin lightly and spoke slowly.

"Eh... Well, then I'll go too..."

Yui stared blankly into Yukino's eyes, and after a few seconds she turned her head and spoke to Hikigaya with an embarrassed look on her face, secretly observing Su Qing's reaction from time to time.

"Huh... Then I have completed everything Komachi asked me to do."

Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since his sister entered high school, she has become more and more "impolite" to him, her older brother.

It's great that I completed the task well now... No wonder!

In fact, Komachi only invited Su Qing. After all, he only mentioned Su Qing. The reason he said that was just to take this opportunity to ease the atmosphere between Su Qing and Yui.

The former was fine, but the latter... one could tell he was trying very hard to act nonchalant, but as soon as he met Su Qing's eyes, he inexplicably collapsed.

After that, as usual, no one commissioned anyone to join the club, and the club activities ended.
