Chapter 265 discusses which subject children should learn in advance.
Because of the generous amount of filling, all the buns were finally ready around 8 a.m.
"This time, Xiaohua didn't let her older sisters down!"
Shirasaki Hana confidently raised her head; she hadn't failed this time! Although it took her a long time to successfully wrap up a whole basketful.
Hiratsuka Shizuka casually picked up a basket of meat buns and placed it in front of her. "Oh, thank you all for your hard work. I haven't done anything, but I'm so lucky to be able to eat breakfast as soon as I get up."
Kaguya Shinomiya felt a little embarrassed; she didn't have the same thick skin as Hiratsuka-sensei.
Although she usually lives the life of a pampered princess, this is a trip with her classmates, not her maids...
"Sorry, I got up a little late and couldn't be of much help."
Kaguya Shinomiya subtly glared at Chika Fujiwara, who was eating a steamed bun. "It's all her fault! Not only did she give me nightmares, but she also woke up so late... She really is the cancer of the earth! So terrifying."
Yukino Yukinoshita chuckled softly. "It's alright, after all, the dumplings we made are more than enough for everyone."
Uchiha Ryo stood up and, with lightning speed, tossed a basket of steamed buns in front of each person.
"It's alright, everyone, please eat without worry! We're all friends, no need to be so polite."
Chitanda Eru stared at the bun in front of her, then looked at Uchiha Ryo with a puzzled expression.
"Ling Jun didn't actually wrap the buns for us, but he acted like the host who was treating everyone to buns."
Uchiha Ryo raised an eyebrow. "I've been supervising you guys making dumplings the whole time! It's hard work!"
Shirogane Miyuki subtly shifted his position, fearing that he would be caught in the crossfire if the girls focused their attacks on him; it was safer to stay closer to Ishigami.
"Oh dear, this bun fell apart as soon as I picked it up... Did that senior accidentally make a mistake? But that's a big mistake... and there's too much filling, and the meat at the very center is still raw."
Yu Ishigami picked up a steamed bun at random, only to find that the meat filling spilled out before he could even take a bite.
"Waaah... I just wanted a thin crust with lots of filling..."
After seeing her failed work and hearing Yu Ishigami's comments, Shirasaki Hana lowered her head in disappointment, her eyes slightly moist, which made the other girls feel sorry for her.
"It's okay, Hana! It's just your first time making dumplings, everyone makes mistakes." Yukinoshita, sitting next to Hana, quickly comforted her.
As the culprit who almost made Xiaohua cry, Ishigami Yu was so frightened that he quickly apologized.
"Uh...that! Upon closer inspection, it's actually quite well-made! The filling is just leaking out; some shumai are also wrapped with the filling showing, aren't they?"
Sensing a chill, Shirogane Miyuki moved from the sofa again, choosing to move closer to Uchiha Ryo. He didn't want to be caught in the crossfire, as Ishigami Yu was being targeted.
"Sorry... I'll go die in a bit..." Yu Ishigami was defeated under the gaze of the others.
Uchiha Ryo: "Well... I don't really want to die, but give me this steamed bun."
I took Xiaohua's failed attempt. Sure enough, she wanted a thin skin and lots of filling, which caused the filling to leak out during steaming. Moreover, because the filling was too plentiful, the meat inside was even a bit reddish.
"Yanyun Sauce".
"Meow? (What do you want?)"
Uchiha Ryo took a small plate and put the failed buns on it.
Here, have an extra meal for you.
On the other side, Yukino patted Hana's head, signaling her not to be sad, that it's normal to fail at cooking. Quite a few people present don't even know how to cook!
"By the way, Xiaohua, you and Rumi seemed to be reading before you came to help. Can you tell me what you were reading?"
Rumi Tsurumi immediately took out the book. "I'm reading a classic Chinese novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I really like the characters in it, such as the brave Guan Yu! And the powerful Zhao Yun and the clever Zhuge Liang."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "You like Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, huh? You're still just a kid."
Rumi Tsurumi frowned. "I'm not a child, and it's my freedom to like whichever character I want. So, what does Ryo-nii like?"
"I remember saying I like Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen Mi, Lady Sun, and the like..."
Feeling the cold gaze directed at him again, Shirogane Miyuki thought, "Even though it's not directed at me, why does everyone who sits next to me always seem to have bad luck?!"
Shirasaki Hana hadn't read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and didn't understand what they were talking about, so she said...
"Brother Ling is helping me with... the CET-4 and CET-6 exams."
As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of Fujiwara Chika, Goto Ichiri, and Ishigami Yu froze, as if they had thought of something terrifying.
This thing is something that even high school students would be afraid of, and Uchiha Ryo actually gave it to an elementary school student?
Yu Ishigami took a deep breath. "Uchiha-senpai, even if it was pre-studying, you didn't have to be so ruthless, did you?"
"Is that amazing? It's normal to learn English in advance; it'll be useful anywhere in the future."
Miyuki Shirogane nodded silently, because he thought it made sense; he himself had started learning various subjects that he would use later in life when he was very young.
Yu Ishigami's expression was complicated. "Honestly, why do we even have things like the CET-4 and CET-6 exams? Most students in this society don't go abroad; is learning English really useful for people who only work domestically?"
"Ah... I wish English didn't exist. I really want to abandon it..."
Suddenly, Shirasaki Hana continued, "But before that, Rumi gave me a book called 'Functions'..."
Upon hearing the word "function," Ishigami Yu breathed a sigh of relief; after all, as the student council treasurer, his math grades were quite excellent. Fujiwara Chika and Goto Ichiri's pupils dilated again.
Fujiwara Chika: "Making elementary school students learn functions ahead of time, that's torture! It feels even more torture than learning English!! Don't you agree, Kaguya-san?"
Kaguya Shinomiya tilted her head. "Junior high school functions? I learned those in elementary school..."
No! This person cannot be an ally.
"Yukinoshita-san, Chitanda-san! What do you think?"
"Well, previewing functions in advance is a good option," Yukino Yukinoshita said thoughtfully, resting her chin on her hand.
Shirasaki Hana expressed her fear, wondering why Yukino-neechan would say such terrifying things. Thankfully, there was Eruru-neechan...
Chitanda Eru: "Isn't it too early for elementary school students to learn functions? Japanese literature would be a better choice."
Hiratsuka Shizuka (the Japanese literature teacher) chuckled. "Chitanda-kun has excellent taste! Choosing Japanese literature as a starting point is definitely a good idea for a child who wants to learn ahead!"
So, the morning's steamed bun feast suddenly turned into a debate.
[Debate on which subject children should learn in advance] Let's begin!
"It should be English!"
"I'm better at math."
"I'm on the side of Chinese Literature!"
Amakusa Shino, the head of the Classic Literature Club, coughed lightly, interrupting the debate.
"Why not incorporate health-related physical activities?"
Uchiha Ryo: "...Captain, let's just eat our steamed buns quietly."
Little Lonely silently raised her hand, expressing her opinion in a voice only she could hear: "Music class... is pretty good too."
Suddenly, Kaguya Shinomiya broke the silence.
"Instead of sticking to these basic courses, why not have them study something like economics?"
Rumi Tsurumi's eyes lit up. "I see, there's this option too!"
Hana Shirasaki curled up next to Yukino. "Waaah, I want to go home!!!"
