Speaking of which, what does a birthday party look like for everyone and their friends?

Sing the birthday song, and then wait for the birthday star to blow out the candles, "oh oh oh~" clapping and cheering, and finally everyone happily eats the food at the banquet.

That's right! It's food!

I've been trying to remember how I used to go to birthday parties, but why do I only think of cakes when it comes to key foods?!

Why is this so...

During my lunch break, I went to the library to find recipes for food to use at my birthday party.

"Cookies? Looks good. ”

Looking at the pictures of the beautifully made food in the book, I swallowed unconsciously.

But... Which type is good?

Mature style matcha cookies with a slightly bitter taste? Sweet and delicious classic cream biscuits? Still is...

"But I like chocolate biscuits."

"Eh~ Is that so... Wow! Yu, Uyu Sami! ”

I turned my head to answer, but I didn't expect that the person standing next to me was actually the rabbit classmate I was the least good at dealing with!

"Shhhh Whisper senior, this is the library! Hurriedly gestured to me quietly, Usami turned around and smiled around and said things like "I'm sorry" and "I'm sorry", while reaching out and pinching the flesh off my back, whispering in a voice squeezed between her teeth, "Don't cause me unnecessary trouble." ”

It's still the same, pretending to be well-behaved and cute outside.

"I'm sorry," it's really my fault, but can you start a little lighter? "How did you end up here?"

"Occasionally, I come to the library to check materials," Usami pulled away from the chair next to me and sat down, letting go of the hand that was holding me, "You know, our school has a lot of books." ”

Well, that's true, but if you come to check the information, does it mean that someone is going to be unlucky again?

"Haha, I've checked my information too," I closed the book and stood up, trying my best to hide my attempt to escape, pretending to be calm and waving my hand at Usami, "Then I won't bother you." ”

Hurry up and retreat before being plotted by Usami, because my previous record of winning VS Rabbit is zero.

"Ahhh~ It's rare that someone plans to tell the senior about the information of Ichinose-senpai."

As soon as he turned around, there was a sigh of "oops" from Usami behind him.

"But if the seniors don't want to hear it, forget it, I'd better read my own book."

Wait, what did she just say about "Ichinose"?

"How can I not want to, of course I want to hear it the most!"

Sitting back in my chair, I immediately switched to smiling mode and accosted Usami.

"Hmm~ Do I have anything to tell my senior?"

"Haha, I'm really joking," this black-bellied rabbit actually gave me amnesia, "Didn't you say something about Kotomi Ichinose?" ”

"Oh, it seems like something like that," Usami looked at me with a crooked face dragging her chin, "but she can't think of anything when she's hungry." ”

Ha~ That's really the case, I've prepared a pit for me to jump into.

"It's time to eat," he said, holding back a smile that wanted to fall, "Then can we go to the cafeteria and talk while eating?" ”

———————————— dividing line————————————

Damn, my wallet!

Touching my purse, which was about to dry out, I sat on the bench in the corner of the cafeteria without tears.

"Senior, don't you eat it?" Sitting across from me with the set meal she ordered, Usami cheerfully asked me, "If you don't eat your fried rice, it's going to get cold." ”

"Ah, right now."

Slowly scoop up a mouthful of fried rice and stuff it into your mouth.

Delicious! But... Woo woo woo ~ my living expenses.

"Hmm~ It's a steak set," Usami said with a happy expression as she touched her cheeks, "Sure enough, the price determines the taste." ”

Damn, count you ruthless. I didn't expect this black rabbit to order the most expensive set meal in the canteen without saying a word, and even I was reluctant to order it!

"Can you tell me, do you know about Ichinose?"

Cheer up, now is not the time to worry about living expenses!

"Ahh ”

Do you want to praise me or hurt me?

"Okay, let's take a look at this."

I took a piece of paper from the folder I was carrying and put it in front of me.

"What is this?"

Looking at the form in front of me to fill in personal information, it was like it was used to complete some procedures.

"Study Abroad Recommendation Form."

"Huh! Usami, are you going to study abroad?! ”

Really?! Then my next school life will be more than half peaceful!

"Woo!"

"Are you stupid, senior? How could it be me. Withdrawing the fist that had smashed my head just now, Usami smiled at me with a dangerous sign while saying rude words, "What's going on with this suddenly disappointed expression?" ”

"Woo~ Then why are you showing me this?"

Rubbing my aching head, I asked dissatisfiedly.

"Senior, are you really stupid?" Without hiding her dissatisfaction with me, Usami bit the meat in her mouth fiercely, "Do you think about who in our school is most likely to be recommended to study in the United States?" ”

"Stupid", it's still undisguised.

“… Kotomi? ”

"Hmm."

"Just kidding!" I slapped the table and stood up in shock, but immediately noticed that the classmates around me were casting curious glances at me, so I sat down in a sneer, "... I said Usami, is this true? ”

"That's what I heard from my teacher when I told Senior Okazaki."

“… That's right. ”

It seems that the information can't be faked, and I won't pursue how you heard the conversation between the teacher and Okazaki. "Hmm~"

"What's wrong?" Noticing that Usami had been staring at me, I touched my face and asked her curiously, "Do you have anything on my face?" ”

"I'm just surprised senior, how can you be so calm," shaking the fork in his hand drew a circle in the air, Usami smiled at me, "Generally speaking, senior, you should be noisy at this time, quickly finish eating, rush out with a plate, and then be full of energy to do some useless work." ”

It's so sharp that it's ruthless, but then again, I didn't expect this impression of me in your mind.

"Even I will grow," I retorted unconvinced as I cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks after swallowing the last bite of fried rice, "and I also know what the most important thing to do at the moment, and make what I can do well before I can do anything else." ”

Although it may be a bit ruthless to say this, going out to study abroad is related to Kotomi's future life, and no matter how reluctant we are, we can't delay Kotomi's future just because of personal feelings, so if Kotomi is serious about studying abroad, I will support her.

But Kotomi wanted to study abroad at this time, and she was obviously escaping.

That's right, escaping can't solve anything, and it's absolutely necessary for Kotomi to let her put down the burden in her heart before she goes to study abroad!

"Hmm~ Suddenly you were impressed with your senior."

"Yes, the so-called three days of Shibetsu."
