At the evening meeting, most of the people who came were older sisters. For example, gentle and warm-hearted people like Yumiko Iwase and Mai Fukawa.
Amamiya Shiori was assigned the task of sending her little sister, a junior high school student, to school.
The same subway line passes through Amamiya Shiori's high school and Saito Asuka's junior high school, so the two were naturally assigned to a group.
The next morning, Amamiya Sugawara put on her school uniform, a white shirt with a navy blue bow tie, a pleated skirt of the same color as the bow tie that was 5 centimeters above the knee, black calf socks, and uniform leather shoes, simple. He looked in the mirror and then went to Saito Asuka's room to wake her up.
"Dong dong dong." He knocked on the door twice, but no one answered for a long time. Did you get up a little early?
"Good morning." The door opened and it was Saito Asuka. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen. She was wearing pajamas and looked like she had just gotten up from bed.
"Are you okay if you haven't slept?" Amamiya Shiori asked softly.
Saito Asuka shook his head first, and then nodded. Leaving home alone for the first time, she inevitably suffered from insomnia.
"She's not awake yet..." Saito Asuka pointed back. Her roommate was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. She couldn't see clearly in the dim room.
"Then Asuka-chan, come to my room and wash up. Don't wake her up."
"Is it OK to have Xiaozhi's roommate?"
"For some reason I don't know, I live alone now."
Saito Asuka gently took out his toiletries and uniforms and came to Amamiya Shiori's room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a laptop on the small table and a lot of books with unintelligible names on an empty bed.
"I'll wait for you outside. There's still plenty of time." Amamiya Shiori glanced at the phone.
"No, here, can you just wait here?" Saito Asuka said with a hint of request in his tone.
"Huh? Oh." Amamiya Shiori understood very well. Children are more afraid of leaving home.
Saito Asuka turned on the light in the bathroom and looked back from time to time while washing.
Amamiya Shiori was sitting on the bed in a daze. When he looked up, his eyes intertwined with Saito Asuka's. The little bird that was discovered quickly turned its head back.
"I'm fine." After washing up and dressed neatly, Saito Asuka stood in front of Amamiya Shiori.
Wearing a blue Kanto-breasted sailor suit and white socks, Asuka Saito looks much more immature than when he was selected, but he still feels a little dissatisfied.
"Hmm... Asuka-chan, wait a minute." Amamiya Shiori took out two headbands from the bag.
In front of the bathroom mirror, Saito Asuka smoothed her long hair with a comb, and then tied it into a low ponytail. It looked very cute with the bangs in the front and the two strands of hair on the side of the cheek.
"So cute!" Amamiya Suga couldn't help but admired.
The well-behaved Saito Asuka looked at herself in the mirror. She was indeed much cuter than with her long hair, and she couldn't help but nodded blankly.
The two took their schoolbags and went to the cafeteria on the first floor to eat breakfast with free meal coupons.
"Ah, good morning Mai-Mai. And Hina-chan." Amamiya Sugawara greeted Fukawa Mai and Kawago Hina.
Kawago Hina was born in Fukuoka Prefecture and transferred to Tokyo after the selection process. Although this little girl was thousands of miles away from her hometown, she was not afraid at all. She originally wanted to take the tram by herself, but Mai Fukawa was worried and took the initiative to take her to school.
"Good morning, Xiaozhi, Xiaofengniao." Kawago Haruna swallowed the last mouthful of porridge and stretched out her hand to greet them.
Mai Fukawa handed her a tissue and asked her to wipe her mouth.
Fukawa is already an adult, and coupled with her warm-hearted personality, the first impression she gives people is that she is trustworthy. "The bread in the restaurant is a bit hard and the porridge is quite hot. It's best to cool it down for a while before drinking it." Mai Fukawa also warned before leaving the restaurant with Kawago Harina.
Amamiya Souri didn't know what Saito Asuka likes to eat. She prefers to follow her own habits, drink some porridge, make steamed buns or make fried eggs. There were no steamed buns in the restaurant, so Amamiya Shiori had no choice but to fry two poached eggs in a special small frying pan.
When he put the fried eggs on a plate in front of Saito Asuka, Asuka was looking at the fruit cake on his plate in a daze.
"Thank you, Xiaozhi." Asuka Saito stabbed the strawberry on the cake with a fork, thoughtfully.
Who eats this for breakfast? Amamiya Shiori was surprised. I’ve seen people eat fruit salad for breakfast, and I’ve also seen people eat bread and tarts. Fruit cake is such an easy-to-get-getting food, and generally no one eats it for breakfast.
"Let me get you a glass of milk!"
"Is there strawberry milk?"
"This... shouldn't be there." Amamiya Suga only saw hot pure milk and orange juice.
A glass of hot milk was placed in front of him. Saito Asuka pierced the two strawberries on the cake with a fork and dropped them into the milk.
"Aren't idols who drink strawberry milk cute?" Asuka Saito suddenly said this.
Did this child just wake up and still be confused? Amamiya Shiori was eating porridge with a spoon.
"Maybe Showa idols are like this, but I'm not sure because I haven't learned about it in depth." Amamiya Sori took a bite of the omelette. The salt was spread unevenly and it was a bit salty.
"Wouldn't it work during the Heisei period?" Saito Asuka's questions were very strange.
"It may or may not work. After all, the standard of cuteness still depends on personal preference."
Saito Asuka took a sip of homemade "strawberry milk" and took a bite of a strawberry wrapped in warm milk. The outside is heated by the milk and becomes sour, but the inside is still cold.
"Does it taste good?" Amamiya Shiori looked at Saito Asuka's expression and wanted to know how he felt.
"Hmm~" Saito Asuka shook his head, "It's not as delicious as the one bought in the supermarket."
Of course, they all have flavors prepared with additives.
"It's better to drink some porridge, otherwise you'll be hungry in the morning."
"Yes." Saito Asuka nodded.
Amamiya Shiori pushed a bowl of cold white porridge in front of Saito Asuka.
But for a long time, she didn't move the spoon.
"What's wrong? Is it hot?" Amamiya Shiori was puzzled.
"At home, my mother feeds me." Saito Asuka's eyes began to turn red. Last night when she went to bed, she had a long-awaited nightmare. Saito Asuka woke up in the middle of the night and found that there was no familiar mother around her. The loneliness and longing made her unable to sleep well all night. When she woke up in the morning, her mind was confused. I think of my family, my idols, my school, and my bed to sleep.
Seeing the white porridge in front of him, Saito Asuka thought of his mother again. At home, when I get up in the morning and dry my hair, my mother is always feeding me a spoonful of food.
"..." Amamiya Sori was silent. Is this asking him to feed her? Although it's not impossible, it feels weird.
"Ah——" Amamiya Shiori gestured to Saito Asuka to open his mouth.
Xiao Asuka looked up with tears in her eyes and saw Amamiya Shiori holding a bowl in her left hand and a spoon in her right hand.
"Eh?"
Eh what? Don’t you have to feed yourself? Amamiya Shiori put the spoon in front of Saito Asuka's mouth.
Xiao Feiniao looked around in panic and found that not many people in the restaurant noticed the situation here, so he took his first bite of food with a little surprise.
