119 You Have Me At Home

"Sorry." Kazuya apologized casually without any sincerity. He poured tea for them and said with a smile: "Are you here for dinner? If you want to eat something, I'll treat you."

He was the ghost member for the Kendo Club to get more funds. It was Kanae who owed him favors, not him, so he didn't take Kanae seriously. As for treating, it was more for Shin's sake. A friend comes here and he is the chef, so he should show his hospitality.

Shin was about to speak when his sister preempted him. "Where is Sakura's father? Ask him to please come out. You are also a member of the club member. It just so happened that we met today. You can go to the arena tomorrow to help. There are not enough people to carry protective gears."

Kazuya was busy with his work, but still couldn't help but tilted his head and glanced at Kanae, secretly amazed in his heart. How big a face do you have? It's true that seniors in Japanese high schools can order their juniors at will, but are you going too far with your arrogance? Can't you figure out who is helping whom?

He was a model outstanding student. Although he didn't want to spoil the peaceful campus life, he was not afraid of resisting. "I don't have time, so I won't go. As for Mr. Sakura, he is sick and it is not convenient to see you now."

In his eyes, this kind of person was considered ungrateful. If she messed with him again, he would just quit the club. He believed Shin can understand this.

Kanae's eyebrows immediately stood up, but Kazuya still smiled and didn't care. Shin tried to smooth things over. He said to Kanae: "Kazuya is already very busy with work and study. Don't cause trouble for him on your days off. He has no interest in joining the kendo club in the first place."

He knew what his sister's temper was like and never mentioned Kazuya's strong swordsmanship. After all, Kazuya's grades didn't require club experience if he wanted to go to a prestigious school. And Kanae was in the third grade and didn't pay much attention to the the first graders, so she didn't know that the seed player in her heart had been defeated by him twice. Otherwise, instead of asking Kazuya to carry equipment and luggage tomorrow, she would ask him to compete.

Kanae glanced at his younger brother and felt that Kazuya could be considered as his only reliable friend who was better than that pervert Yuma Uchida. The selection of the men's team was decided by the vice captain, and they were all second-year or third-year students. As for first-year members, they should be brought to the competition by the next captain next year.

She ignored Kazuya and said: "Take me to see Mr. Sakura!"

Kazuya glanced at her sideways and placed a stack of ice cream cakes for Shin. There were too many white-collar females recently, so Kazuya, who had no disciplines and wanted to make money, baked a lot of desserts and earned money from them. Shin was like a girl, so he might also like these desserts "Shin, taste my dishes."

Then he slowly explained the situation of Naotaka's serious illness and finally said calmly: "Senpai, Sakura has to support the whole family now and can't rest, so you'd better please come back home!"

Not everyone like you coming from a wealthy family and has parents to protect you. Participating in club competitions also depends on the situation. It's understandable even if the little radish not going! If you're really unhappy and want to cause trouble here, don't blame me for not caring your face.

Shin was watching the stack of white and brown ice on the cakes. They were beautiful in color and exuded a cold auroma. Some dots of ice crystals were placed on them, which he didn't know what they were made of. They looked like thin snow that had just fallen and made him feel cool. But after listening to Kazuya's words, he raised his head in surprise, "Does something like this happen to Sakura family? Why don't they inform the school?"

"Why inform the school? Do you want others to feel pity for me?" Haruka came over again after finishing her work. She has a strong self-esteem. She can accept the exemption of tuition fees and miscellaneous fees through her strength, but she cannot accept charity from others

She was naturally very competitive. She didn't care whether others hate her or scold her because she also hated and scold others. But she couldn't stand it when others looked down on her. Even if she had a fight, she would let others know how powerful she was. 

And the last victim was Kazuya.

She was in a bad mood now, and Shimazaki sibllings hadn't beaten her like Kazuya, so she directly retort Shin. But she still added another sentence to Kanae: "I promise I will go to the competition tomorrow and definitely win! But some work at home..."

She mainly didn't have enough time recently. Tomorrow was a rest day, and she originally planned to do one or two more Buddha jumps over the wall with Kazuya to make a lot of money.

Kazuya smiled: "You have me at home, don't worry!"

He supports her to return to a normal life. As for him, he was not afraid of taking care of children. He could direct the Sakura family to work tomorrow, which is not a big deal.

Shin was confused. He looked at Haruka and then at Kazuya, trying to know why she has him at home?

The Pure Flavor House was in the prime time of business and extremely busy. Haruka said something and was called away again.

Kanae lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then looked at Haruka and her two younger sisters whose figures milled about in the store, finally had nothing to say. She was also a high school student, relying on her parents to make a living. She actually didn't have much to do in the face of the cruel reality. No matter how impersonal she was, she couldn't say that the kendo competition is more important than your family.

Kanae didn't mention letting Haruka go to rest. She stretched out her hand and picked up a piece of cake. She looked at it for a few times and liked its appearance, stuffing it into her mouth and asking vaguely: "Are you dating Sakura, Matsuoka?"

She heard their words and felt that the relationship between Haruka and Kazuya was extraordinary.

Shin looked at his sister's actions in surprise. This is what Kazuya gives me! But he couldn't care less for the moment and looked at Kazuya with great concern.

Kazuya laughed dumbly and said: "No, I used to work in this store, and her father used to take good care of me. Now that he is suddenly ill, I can't stand by and watch, so I temporarily took over the job of the chef."

He didn't want to have too much trouble with the seniors in the school and any gossipto affect them. Seeing that Kanae was no longer unreasonable, he explained about his experience of working here in detail.

Kanae didn't stop and ate up a small plate of cakes. After listening to him, she said softly: "It's amazing. I looked down on you before, but I didn't expect you still have such chivalrous spirit. I'm not as good as you!"

She was a straight-tempered person and always said whatever came to her mind. After speaking, she stood up: "In that case, I won't disturb you. Please let Sakura take a good bath later and try to adjust to her condition! Shin, let's go!"

Shin hesitated. He still had a lot to say to Kazuya, but Kanae didn't care about him. She put some money on the table and pulled him out of the door. 

Kazuya quickly asked them to wait, then took out a food box which packed some snacks and handed it to Shin with a smile: "You can take it back to eat and have a taste of my cooking."

Kanae was a senior. According to the unspoken rules in schools, she can order her juniors at will, but she also has her own obligations. For example, when dining with her juniors, she must take the initiative to pay the bill. The situation was somewhat similar now, so he couldn't return it to her after paying the debt, otherwise it would be a bit insulting. He could only let Shin take some snacks back as a friend.
