Children always surprise us.
In moments of unguarded observation, they suddenly make us understand how to solve something.
Like now—
"Ayumi, come try this lemon cake, it's delicious, incomparable!"
Mitsuhiko didn't stop trying to win Ayumi over, pushing a piece of cake he had tasted toward her.
Ayumi, with great curiosity, took a little with the spoon and put it in her mouth.
After tasting it, Ayumi's eyes lit up, and with a smile, she said, "It definitely has a very special taste! I've never tasted a cake this delicious!"
Mitsuhiko's face couldn't hide his happiness.
Then, Ayumi took another spoonful and offered it to Lin Yi, who was beside her: "Brother Lin, try it too!"
Without hesitation, Lin Yi tried it and nodded, looking at Ayumi and saying, "The baking skills of this shop are really top-notch! A cake this delicious… it's impressive."
"Yes, yes." Ayumi smiled widely as she spoke.
Mitsuhiko's face had already lengthened.
"Ayumi, come try this chocolate sundae. The chocolate from this shop is really sweet."
This time it was Genta's turn.
As always, Ayumi tried it, and after considering that it had a good taste, she offered a spoonful to Lin Yi.
This also bothered Genta.
He thought Lin Yi would believe that these two kids would finally give up, at least stopping from making Ayumi try all the delicious things.
However, to Lin Yi's surprise, when Mitsuhiko tried a delicious vanilla cake, he once again chose to offer it to Ayumi.
And Ayumi made the same choice as before, sharing the deliciousness with him.
Genta did the same.
It seemed like these two just couldn't stop showing their feelings to Ayumi.
This surprised Lin Yi.
He knew that normally, when a person finds out that their loved one has tried something made by them and shares it with the opposite sex, the reaction is discomfort, and from there on, they wouldn't share things spontaneously anymore.
But these two kids kept doing it, again and again, and that made Lin Yi feel a little admiration.
This situation also made him think deeply. It seemed like he had caught something important.
Conan, unlike the other two kids, was totally focused on Lin Yi. He couldn't stop thinking about how he could get information about how things were going with Ran, if they had held hands, if they had kissed, if they had... done anything else.
These questions were really important to him, but he didn't know how to bring up the topic, nor if he should ask.
It made him feel very indecisive and worried.
That indecision and worry persisted until the end of the meal, with no decision made.
"Be careful on the way."
Lin Yi gave instructions to the four.
"Yes, I will. Brother Lin, see you next time."
Ayumi, happily, stood on tiptoe to say goodbye to Lin Yi, and once she couldn't see him anymore, she turned and bounced away.
Seeing Ayumi, Conan couldn't help but say, "Hey Ayumi, do you like Brother Lin a lot...?"
"Of course!" Ayumi, with her hands on her cheeks, said with a look full of admiration: "Brother Lin is not only handsome and kind, but he also knows how to deduce... he's the perfect boyfriend!"
Genta and Mitsuhiko felt nauseous, muttering to themselves.
Conan intervened: "But... he already has a girlfriend, did you know? And also, you're ten years younger than him."
"Yes, yes, Ayumi, the age difference is too big, it's not possible." Mitsuhiko and Genta quickly said.
Ayumi stopped dead in her tracks, the smile disappeared from her face, and she turned to Conan, saying: "I don't care if he has a girlfriend! I don't care if there's a ten-year difference! Conan, love has no limits!"
"Eh... really?" Conan blinked, wanting to say something more, but in the end thought it wasn't worth it.
After all, she was just a kid, what sense did it make to talk to her about these things?
When she grows up, she'll understand some things.
Conan thought this way.
——————
Lin Yi, without meaning to, learned a lesson from Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi: The pampered one fears nothing!
He returned home, thought about it again and again, and then realized a problem.
He, so handsome, so excellent, so loved by everyone, wherever he goes, everyone adores him, like a flower shining among others, a wonderful young man known as the most attractive guy of all time.
Actually, the one who had always been pampered wasn't Ran, Sonoko, Yoshino, or Akemi... it was him!
Ah!
After realizing this, Lin Yi went to Yoshino, who was flexing her chest muscles, and said: "Tomorrow afternoon, after school, wait at the school gate... and then, I want to see a good performance."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Yoshino nodded and, curious, asked: "What are we going to do?"
"It's nothing... I just want to experience the feeling of being on a battlefield."
——————
The next day, at noon.
Lin Yi took advantage of lunchtime to open all the boxes he had accumulated over that time.
The common boxes, no need to mention them, always the same, the same things over and over again. It seemed that no other kind of binding effect had been reached, so it was difficult to obtain anything really useful.
Inside the silver boxes, four affinity event cards were opened, in addition to the one he had already accumulated earlier, making a total of five.
From the silver box, two relationship cards and three affinity increase cards were opened.
Lin Yi glanced at his items and nodded silently. Even if what happened next exceeded his expectations, he had ways to remedy it.
"Ran, Sonoko, after school, shall we go out...?"
Lin Yi suggested actively.
Ran nodded and eagerly agreed.
Sonoko dragged out her voice and said: "Ah~~ I also want to go, but I can't this afternoon... I have a bunch of things to take care of at the club."
"Ah, really? What a shame."
Lin Yi said, but inside, he felt relieved.
As he had imagined, Sonoko wouldn't come.
If she had, the situation would have clearly tilted toward the two of them, and it wouldn't have been possible to have a balanced fight.
This battlefield was a test, so it was better that Ran and Yoshino entered first.
