Chapter 37 Sonoko's Loving Bento

The next day, Toru Hanyu went to school as usual.

The morning lessons were very simple. He had already learned all the material for the second year of high school when he was in the first year of high school. In the classroom, he was just reviewing the material to reinforce his memory.

Moreover, with my weekend date with the garden just around the corner, I can't afford to neglect my studies.

If his grades slip, Vermouth might have to have a "heart-to-heart talk" with him again.

When he thought of Vermouth, Toru Hanyu recalled their previous conversation.

Especially since I had triggered her related tasks.

[Mission: Make "Vermouth" develop feelings for you.]

This task is undeniably difficult.

If we consider the mission as a dating simulation game, Vermouth would rank first, followed closely by Momiji Ooka, with Sonoko Suzuki only coming in third.

Yuzuru was reluctant to be asked to seduce this core member of the Black Organization.

First, it's too difficult; second, the risk is too great; third, it's completely unnecessary.

He just wanted to date a beautiful girl in Tokyo, make some money, and live a relaxed and comfortable life, instead of constantly teetering on the edge of danger.

"Um... Yuzuru-kun..."

While he was lost in thought, Yuko Morishita, who sat at the table in front of him, quietly turned around and handed him her phone screen.

"What's wrong?" He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Yuko Morishita.

Yuko Morishita pointed to a video on the screen and asked softly, "Is this... you?"

Yuzuru was a little puzzled, so he leaned over to take a look.

The video appears to be set in a dimly lit karaoke room, where a boy is singing with his back to the camera.

The singing voice was very magnetic and full of emotion. Even just seeing the back of the person, you could tell that he was tall and straight, and the profile of his face looked particularly handsome in the light and shadow.

The video quality wasn't high-definition, but that didn't diminish the singer's good looks at all.

Yuzuru glanced at it once, and his heart skipped a beat.

Isn't this the scene from the night before last when he was singing karaoke with Sonoko Suzuki and her friends?

He quickly scanned the screen to see who posted the video.

The poster's profile picture is a pair of legs wearing white slouch socks, and their ID name is "Matsusaka Matsusaka".

Aside from this latest singing video, most of this blogger's other works are suggestive content involving singing while showing legs, with mediocre view counts. Only this singing video unexpectedly went viral.

The comment section below has exploded.

Wow! This sounds amazing! My ears are pregnant!

"I never expected this guy to sing with such feeling, I'm in love!"

"He seems to be an incredibly handsome guy~ Why don't I ever get a guy like this at my karaoke parties!"

"I want the full version! Please release the complete version!"

"..."

After reading it, Yuzuru already guessed who had done it.

However, he dared not admit it at school.

"It wasn't me."

Yuzuru shook his head without changing his expression.

"But it really looks so similar to me~" Yuko Morishita held up her phone, comparing the person in the video with the person in front of her, Toru Hanyu.

"There are plenty of handsome guys in Tokyo. You can't just assume I'm someone who's good-looking, can you?"

Yuzuru chuckled lightly, then pointed to himself singing on the screen with seemingly logical reasoning.

"Look, this boy has an earring in his left ear, but I don't. And his style of dress is so trendy, he looks like a celebrity or model. His singing is so professional too. He's definitely not an ordinary high school student like me, is he? My style of dress and my singing skills are completely mismatched."

His analysis was logical and detailed.

After listening, Yuko Morishita looked closely at his clean earlobes and compared them with the well-dressed and distinguished young man in the video. Finally convinced, she nodded.

"This video is super popular on Twitter right now, and many people are guessing his identity. Some even think he might be a rookie from some agency who hasn't debuted yet."

It's just a singing video, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

Is it that the blogger "Matsusaka Matsusaka" has unattractive legs, or what?

Yuzuru was speechless.

"Maybe he's just an ordinary person who happened to be photographed. If he were a celebrity, his fans would have recognized him long ago," he said casually, ending the conversation.

"That's true..." Yuko Morishita thoughtfully put away her phone.

……

Time flies, and the morning passed quickly.

During his lunch break, Toru Hanyu received a message from Sonoko Suzuki.

The girl stammered and sent a long string of irrelevant text and emojis, as if she had something to say.

Yuzuru typed back: "What's up, Sonoko?"

He saw the Line app repeatedly showing "typing," then "cancel," then "typing" again. After about a minute, the message was finally sent.

"Want to have lunch together? (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧"

Seeing this, Yuzuru couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't refuse and replied "okay." The two then arranged to meet on the rooftop of the teaching building.

Pushing open the door to the rooftop, I found a pleasant environment with few people, mostly students studying.

Yuzuru immediately spotted Sonoko Suzuki standing by the railing.

"Hanyu-kun~"

Upon seeing him arrive, Sonoko Suzuki immediately held up a beautifully crafted bento box in her hand with delight.

Yuzuru walked over, took the bento, and felt that it was still warm when he touched it.

He glanced at the beautifully packaged bento box and smiled, "Which store did you buy it from? It looks nice."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sonoko Suzuki puffed out her cheeks and muttered somewhat unhappily, "What?! I made this myself!"

Seeing the girl's adorable "You actually doubt me?" expression, Yuzuru chuckled.

"Since Sonoko made it herself, I'd better give it a good try."

Under Sonoko Suzuki's expectant gaze, he opened the bento box.

Inside is a tempting golden curry chicken rice bowl, with large chunks of chicken and vegetables on top of the rice, and a thick, fragrant sauce.

Yuzuru picked up a spoon, scooped up a large mouthful of rice, and put it in his mouth.

The curry flavor was rich, the chicken was tender, and the rice was cooked to the perfect firmness, but... it seemed a little too salty.

As he ate, Sonoko Suzuki gave him a serious introduction.

"The chicken used is Awao-style chicken air-freighted from Tokushima Prefecture, the carrots and potatoes are from Hokkaido, and even the curry powder is a special import!"

The girl's words were full of boasting and pride.

Yuzuru Hanyu, who initially found the taste a bit salty, experienced a wonderful chemical reaction after hearing the names of these top-quality ingredients.

After a quick estimate, he calculated that the cost of ingredients alone for just this small box of curry chicken rice was as high as 100,000 yen...

This isn't salty at all; it tastes like money!

Good ingredients make all the difference in taste! Rich, full-bodied, and with an unforgettable aftertaste!

"It's delicious." Yuzuru swallowed the rice in his mouth and gave it high praise. "Sonoko, you have a real talent for cooking."

Upon receiving his praise, Sonoko Suzuki's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with joy.

She leaned a little closer and asked in a slightly embarrassed whisper, "Really? I feel like I put in a little too much salt again this time..."

No, it's just right.

Yuzuru shook his head without changing his expression.

It was indeed a tiny bit salty, but it was completely within an acceptable range.

After all, this was a bento box made by Miss Suzuki herself, and she couldn't possibly criticize him even if it wasn't very tasty. Besides, the only downside of the bento box was that it was a little too salty, which was by no means bad.

After finishing their bento boxes, Toru Hanyu and Sonoko Suzuki leaned against the railing and chatted.

The girl was in a good mood and started talking about their weekend date, making him eagerly anticipate the "reward" she had prepared.

Yuzuru Tetsuya was indeed intrigued, wondering what Sonoko Suzuki had prepared.

"Anyway, you'll find out when the weekend comes~" Sonoko Suzuki said mysteriously.

Yuzuru shook his head and smiled, never expecting that the simple-minded Sonoko would actually use the tactic of playing hard to get.
