But when they brought out their enormous lunches, even though Himeko was somewhat prepared, her eyelids still twitched involuntarily.
This person can really eat!
Most importantly, despite eating so recklessly, I don't gain weight!
The thought filled Himeko with envy, but she maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.
Artoria's gaze faltered as she looked at the bento boxes mixed in with the takeout orders on Saber Alter's side.
"What is this?"
"Jiang Qiu asked Sister Shihua to make it for me because I worked the hardest."
Hei Dai continued rambling without changing his expression, and then impatiently opened his lunchbox.
Fried chicken nuggets, salt and pepper pork ribs, octopus, sausage, stir-fried beef with green peppers, hot and sour shredded potatoes, bok choy, and white rice sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Artoria and Himeko stared wide-eyed, their cravings starting to swell.
Blackie noticed the increasingly fierce and hungry gaze beside him and warned warily—
"Don't even think about it. If you dare to rummage through it, I'll steal all your takeout orders from the middle of the night from now on."
"tsk"
Artoria pouted somewhat unhappily, but could only force herself to look away.
Compared to the carefully prepared bento box by Sister Shihua, the takeout in my hand was undoubtedly inferior, and the aroma seemed to have dissipated considerably.
Did Sister Shihua have such culinary skills before?
As Artoria pondered this, her sense of urgency grew stronger.
He's only been here a day, and he's already gotten so familiar with everyone in the apartment. He's more dangerous than I imagined.
If this continues, won't I really be eliminated and wiped out?
I finally found such a comfortable place, and I absolutely can't just throw it away!
Damn, I'll try to work twice as hard when I get home today.
I refuse to believe I can't beat this thing!
Just as Artoria was quietly munching on her braised pork rice while making her own plans, Himeko's gaze gradually fell on Saber Alter.
"Hey, you did pretty well on your homework yesterday. Your accuracy rate was much higher than the day before yesterday."
As Himeko's voice drifted over slowly, Black Saber's hand, which was holding chopsticks, suddenly paused.
"Make up the difference" sounds like they're trying to settle accounts with themselves.
After swallowing nervously, feeling a little uneasy, she tentatively replied—
"It's because Ms. Jing is watching over me that I'm more careful when I write."
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to correct your mistakes."
Seeing that Hei Dai's hands were trembling a little, Himeko found it amusing and quickly comforted him.
"I'm just a little surprised that you can improve your accuracy rate so much when you're focused."
"This shows that you have a talent for mathematics, which is a good thing."
"Yes, really?"
Hei Dai was stunned, but something felt off.
Before she could even settle down and continue eating, she heard Ji Zi reveal her true intentions—
"It is precisely because you have such a talent for mathematics that it cannot be wasted."
"I have some good practice books here. You can take them back and work through them together. They'll help develop your mathematical thinking."
"what?"
"Don't worry, it's not much, you can finish writing it in a little while. Remember to bring it back with you, and I'll revise it for you and explain the thought process."
"Once your grades improve, you can participate in math competitions and such."
"???"
Blackie was completely bewildered, staring blankly at Himeko.
She only realized the seriousness of the problem after the other person slammed the nearly brick-thick workbook on the table.
This guy is trying to kill me!
"Um, Himeko-sensei, I think my grades are good enough for me right now."
"There's no need to work so hard to get promoted; just graduating is enough."
Hei Dai refused in a low voice, but didn't forget to stuff a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, looking like he was just waiting to die without any ambition.
But what she received in return was a heartfelt admonition from Himeko.
"Hey, you're thinking wrong. Being complacent can easily drag you into the abyss of depravity."
"The competition in your group must be fierce, don't you want to move up to the chairman's position?"
"Although the successor is Saber, if your abilities are far superior to his, many other people in the group will definitely favor you."
"As long as you continue to improve your abilities and widen the gap to an insurmountable level, the position of chairman of the Camelot Group will still fall into your hands in the future!"
"Don't underestimate the small improvement in your math score. It's a way to enhance your personal abilities and the beginning of a new chapter."
Are you content to fall behind others?
Himeko kept urging him on, and even Kuro couldn't help but perk up.
It seems to make sense!
Meanwhile, Artoria gave Himeko a somewhat subtle look, as if to say, "Don't you two know how to talk about this in private?"
Discussing usurpation in front of me?!
Noticing the resentful look in Saber's eyes, Himeko quickly offered an explanation—
"I'm just giving an example to encourage Blackie to study hard. He should study diligently."
"Artoria, you can't fall behind either. You have to work hard if you want to keep your position as heir."
“Perfect timing, I have extra workbooks, you can have one too.”
""
I don't even need to glance at this! Isn't it better to just eat my food properly?
Artoria's lips twitched violently, and the rice in her bowl tasted increasingly unappetizing.
If I had known this would happen, I would have taken the risk and eaten it right there in the classroom!
I can't live like this anymore!!!
"Anime Crossover, Raft Survival, My Abilities Refresh Weekly"
Xia Hai transmigrated into the body of a Japanese high school student in an anime world. Using his extensive experience with visual novels, he successfully won over several beautiful girls and even reached the pinnacle of his life through plagiarism.
However, without realizing it, he transmigrated twice.
Not only that, everyone in the entire animated world has been transported to another world, and all they have under their feet is a five-square-meter wooden raft.
Fortunately, he doesn't live alone.
His vice president, Kaguya Shinomiya, was on the same raft as him.
To survive, you must upgrade your raft, turning it into a vessel capable of withstanding storms, extreme cold, and other natural disasters.
[Key elements of this book: survival at sea, some elements of famine, a harem of female characters from various anime/manga series, not a mindless but enjoyable read, with a farming/developmental main plot.]
Chapter 132, Section 133: A Tumultuous Night Approaching
"how is the situation?"
“Easy to do.”
"Thanks."
"I've been held a grudge by two lovely students for helping you this time, which has seriously damaged my image. I'll have to drink a lot tonight."
"no problem."
Himeko smiled with satisfaction upon seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's reply.
When her gaze fell upon Artoria and Saber Alter again, the two were shoveling food into their mouths, looking rather aggrieved.
Her eyes were slightly red, revealing an indescribable sadness.
Two thick workbooks cast a persistent shadow over their minds, to the point that they lost their appetite.
If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to eat in the classroom!
Growing increasingly angry, Artoria asked Alter in a somewhat frantic tone—
"Did you offend Himeko-sensei in some way?"
"How could that be! I'm not a troublemaker in class."
"Then why would she target you like this today? I'm suffering this misfortune without her knowledge!"
"I was puzzled myself. I didn't expect that she, who usually seemed so kind and easy to talk to, could be so ruthless when she got down to business."
As the two whispered amongst themselves, a deep resentment emanated from them.
Himeko didn't seem to care too much about it, and instead looked at the izakaya menu on her phone with great interest.
As she browsed, she inexplicably opened a shopping app and began agonizing over what to wear for the weekend.
This is the first time I've ever gone out to dinner with a young man in private. Should I dress more formally?
Evening dress?
That seems too exaggerated, and it doesn't fit with a hot pot and barbecue restaurant at all.
Teacher's attire?
It feels too serious; it might put pressure on Jiang Qiu and affect the atmosphere.
Changing it to something too casual doesn't seem to work either.
Himeko was extremely conflicted, feeling as if she had a closet full of clothes but not enough to wear.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to ask someone for advice.
"Any clothes or outfits suitable for going out to eat?"
In an instant, the previously darkened avatars in the list lit up, displaying a typing indicator.
But the next second, the message from the other party made Himeko's heart skip a beat.
"Dating?"
"No, it's just a meal."
"Oh"
The simple reply made Himeko inexplicably feel her face burning.
Before she could even offer a few words of explanation, the other party sent a message first.
"Where to eat?"
"You're not planning to follow me here to spy, are you?"
"How could that be? I'm just asking which restaurant we should go to, so that it will better match the style of the food."
"Hot pot restaurant."
"Hold on."
As Kaffa's avatar went dark again, Himeko couldn't help but scratch her face.
The other party probably won't be able to guess the exact location, right?
There are quite a few famous hot pot restaurants in Yue Du City, and it took her ages to find one.
After Himeko waited patiently, it wasn't long before Kafka sent her a link to an outfit.
A relaxed and casual black off-shoulder short-sleeved top paired with loose and refreshing khaki capri pants.
