"Huh? Ryoko, are you joking?"
Megumi Tadokoro was surprised to see Ryoko Sakaki actually extend her hand to Satou, and asked.
Ryoko Sakaki, who always gave off a gentle feeling, playfully stuck out her tongue slightly, smiled, and said, "I'm not joking!"
Her long red hair cascaded over her shoulders, revealing a neat, fair forehead. She had a graceful figure with a slender waist and ample bosom, which stretched her white shirt taut. She exuded the gentle aura of a Big sister next door.
Satou was a bit speechless. Since when did Ryoko Sakaki like to make such jokes?
"I don't have it with me right now. We'll talk about it when I do."
He said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you to send me a butterfly."
Ryoko Sakaki couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
After chatting for a while, they each returned to their cooking stations to prepare for the lesson's topic.
Before leaving, Ryoko Sakaki and Yuki Yoshino reluctantly glanced at the butterfly charm material quietly resting on Megumi Tadokoro's blue braid, clearly extremely envious.
"When I get back, I'm definitely going to ask Megumi to lend it to me for a few days."
Yuki Yoshino whispered.
Satou secretly found it amusing. If that were the case, Yuki Yoshino would probably be disappointed, because once the butterfly charm material recognized its owner, it would always stay by the owner's side. Even if it were borrowed, it would still return to Megumi Tadokoro's side the next day.
As soon as class was dismissed, Ryoko Sakaki and Yuki Yoshino immediately ran to Megumi Tadokoro's side, pestering her to go outside and play with the butterfly.
Satou found it quite amusing. It seemed these two girls really liked the butterfly charm material.
In the afternoon, Alice Nakiri came running over.
"Satou, Satou! Where did Erina's butterfly hair clip come from? Did you give it to her?"
Alice Nakiri pouted her rosy cheeks, her face like a small bun, and asked somewhat sourly, like a little girl jealous that her friend had a new toy.
Her hands were clasped behind her back, and her upper body was leaning forward, her full bosom almost bursting her white shirt. Her nose was almost touching Satou's face, and her beautiful wine-red eyes were close at hand. Satou could even smell the pleasant scent emanating from Alice.
Looking at Alice, who was like a child asking for candy, Satou couldn't help but secretly laugh. In fact, he had already bought three butterfly charm material yesterday, and one of them was originally intended for Alice.
However, Satou still pretended not to understand and asked, "What butterfly hair clip?"
"Huh? You didn't give it to her?"
Alice Nakiri was stunned for a moment, then pouted her small lips in annoyance and said angrily, "Look! Erina, that Tsundere, is so proud of it!"
She took out her phone to show Satou.
Satou glanced at it and saw that the screen displayed the Tsundere's Twitter.
Erina, who usually only posted serious work photos, had uncharacteristically posted a series of daily life photos from school this morning.
Some photos showed her wearing a pristine chef's uniform, making dishes in a practical class in the classroom.
She gracefully handled the ingredients on the cutting board, her angelic face full of concentration, her profile almost perfect. What was particularly striking was a dreamlike butterfly with beautiful wings, perched on her hair by her ear, adding a touch of ethereal elegance to her.
There were also a few photos of her wearing her school uniform, leaning against the corridor, her long legs encased in black stockings, and a gentle smile on her delicate, doll-like face, full of youthful vibrancy. On her hair, a beautiful butterfly with outstretched wings also rested.
Satou only glanced at them a few times and knew that the person taking the photos must have been Hisako. He couldn't help but secretly find it amusing. Since when did the Tsundere start showing off?
The comments below were lively, because Erina Nakiri rarely posted photos of her daily life. These beautiful pictures, once published, immediately sparked heated discussion.
"Erina-chan is so cute! I feel like my heart is melting!"
"The hair clip on her head is so beautiful, just like a real butterfly, lifelike. I wonder where it was bought?"
"It must be a real butterfly, right? But this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful butterfly. Does anyone know what species it is?"
"It should just be a work of art, I've never seen a butterfly like this."
"Could it be a gift from her boyfriend?"
"How could Erina-chan have a boyfriend!"
"Hmm, but I have a friend at Far Moon, and I heard she's very close with a certain boy..."
Satou also unexpectedly saw Lin Longdan's comment.
It was a user with the nickname 'Girl Gourmet Hunter,' and the profile picture was a photo of Kobayashi Rindo.
"So beautiful! I'm abroad! Erina, what gifts do you and Satou want?"
"See? Erina, that Tsundere, is so annoying! I asked her where she bought it, and she wouldn't tell me!"
Alice Nakiri puffed out her rosy cheeks and said angrily, "I say, Satou, do you know where it was bought?"
"I don't know."
Satou smiled slightly.
"Really?"
Alice Nakiri's face immediately showed disappointment, but then she heard Satou's next words, "But I have one just like it."
Then, a hand was raised in front of her, and on it rested a butterfly identical to the one in the photo.
This was the one Satou bought yesterday, hidden under his collar, and he hadn't fed it yet.
Alice Nakiri's eyes immediately couldn't move away. She carefully took it from Satou's hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! It's actually a real butterfly! So beautiful!"
"Do you like it?"
Satou asked with a smile. 3.4
"Mm-hmm!"
Alice Nakiri nodded repeatedly.
"Then it's yours."
Satou said with a smile.
"Really? I knew Satou, you're the best! Much better than that annoying Tsundere Erina!"
Alice Nakiri immediately jumped up happily, hooking her arms around Satou's neck, a fragrant scent emanating from her.
Satou couldn't help but feel a little exasperated and amused, feeling that Alice at this moment was like a little girl who had just received her desired gift.
"Actually, this butterfly is a kind of ingredient."
Satou said.
"Ingredient?"
Alice Nakiri looked at him in surprise, then pouted and playfully punched him with her small fist, saying, "I won't eat it!"
