"Nano won't buy it for me..."

The doctor didn't know.

At this moment, her tone carried a hint of coquettishness that she herself was unaware of.

She seemed to have found an adult who doted on her, and with that confidence, she spoke in a pitiful tone as if she were tattlering on something to an adult.

'I really want to eat shark-shaped mini cakes…'

"No... no, Mr. Jiang Yuan."

"It was the professor who did something wrong today..."

Hear the words.

For some reason, Shinonome Nao suddenly felt a pang of panic.

Having just met Mr. Jiang Yuan, whom she hadn't seen for some time, she was both surprised and delighted, but also worried that Jiang Yuan might misunderstand her and think of her in a bad light.

Just as Shinonome Nozomi was about to explain, a slightly flustered woman spoke up.

"It's probably because Mina is worried that the professor will get cavities if he eats too much."

"But it's okay, just remember to brush your teeth properly tonight if you only eat one."

"Let me treat you to a meal, Doctor. I'm hungry too."

Say it.

Jiang Yuan, who was about the same height as the doctor, squatted down, looked at the pair of glassy eyes that suddenly shone with happiness, blinked and smiled.

They seemed to be telling some little secret.

The doctor immediately jumped up and down with joy, shouting, "Shark cake, shark cake~" The older brother is going to treat her to shark cake!

"Mr. Jiang Yuan..."

Watching the two of them, holding the doctor's little hand, walk towards the stall with happy smiles on their faces.

Shinonome Nana tightened her grip on the small yellow bag with the white dove pattern.

She knew that Jiang Yuan had considered her feelings when he said that.

For some reason, looking at Jiang Yuan, who was currently showering the doctor with affection and indulgence, I felt a strange sense of wonder.

As Higashiono Nao's heart fluttered slightly, a strange feeling, both unfamiliar and familiar, welled up inside her.

"How strange..."

Before she could feel it any more carefully...

An elderly man suddenly walked up to us.

He smiled kindly and said something that made Shinonome Nana pause in surprise, and then her face turned bright red instantly.

"Young lady, is that your husband?"

"?!!"

"No... no, Grandma, you've misunderstood."

"Mr. Jiang Yuan is... is..."

Her delicate body trembled suddenly.

The shame in her heart seemed to overwhelm Shinonome Nao.

She frantically waved her hands, trying to explain, and seemed at a loss for what to do.

'Husband... husband, that's too... too embarrassing...'

She thought to herself with a shy feeling.

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Shinonome Nao's heart pounded, and she was also somewhat stunned.

She seems to be...

There's something about my relationship with Mr. Jiang Yuan that I can't quite explain...

Are she and Mr. Jiang Yuan friends?

Mr. Jiang Yuan doesn't seem to have mentioned it...

"Is this so..."

"This old woman thought that young man and girl were your husband and child."

"After all, they really do look alike..."

The old man sighed.

It seems that the sudden inquiry earlier was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Leaning on her cane, Jiang Yuan watched with a gentle smile as the doctor happily accepted the cake.

When she turned around, she glanced again at Shinonome Nana, who seemed to be lost in thought.

She concluded by saying, "Even if you're young, don't leave any regrets..."

His voice was hoarse and regretful, as if he were reminiscing about something.

Then he said no more.

Alone, he gradually disappeared into the crowd.

"..."

now.

This is Shinonome Nana's expression: (￣﹏￣) Watching the elderly person walk away and gradually disappear into the crowd.

Shinonome Nao's face was still rosy, but she was also a little confused.

'Is this what the old man is saying... these shameful things?'

'It looks like something...'

Before Shinonome Nana could continue being shy...

"Shark cake~ Shark cake~"

"Shark Mini Cakes~" Sudden.

A childlike, adorable voice brought Shinonome Nana back to her senses.

She looked forward.

The doctor's left hand was being held by Jiang Yuan, while his right hand was holding a large bag containing at least a dozen shark-shaped cakes.

With a satisfied look on her face, she hummed her own self-composed shark cake song and skipped over.

"Dr. Mo, how can you eat so much!"

"I won't be able to eat dinner like this."

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jiang Yuan, you've gone to so much trouble. I'll pay you right now..."

Seeing this, Dongyun Ming was somewhat troubled.

Mr. Jiang Yuan is just too doting on the PhD.

While wondering why Jiang Yuan liked the doctor so much, she was also curious.

Shinonome Nana also felt a little embarrassed.

'So many shark cakes must cost a lot of money…'

Feeling helpless, she thought about how to cut back on expenses and carefully calculated her spending before preparing to pay Jiang Yuan.

But before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hand to interrupt him.

"It's just some small cakes, it doesn't cost much."

"The doctor's appreciation is the best gift I can receive in return."

Say it.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand and touched the head of the adorable doctor who was staring blankly at him.

"After all, the doctor is so cute."

"Hehe~" Doctor 3. 6 responded with a silly grin.

The shark-shaped cake seemed to be held even tighter in her arms.

"Besides, aren't we friends?"

Jiang Yuan, with a gentle expression, asked Xiang Dongyun's name in return.

It was clearly a rhetorical question, but it revealed an attitude of "Isn't that how it is?"

The seemingly ordinary conversation made Shinonome Nana's heart skip a beat.

"Friends...?"

He instinctively covered his chest with his hands, as if afraid something would jump out of his heart.

original…

Did Mr. Jiang Yuan always consider her a friend...?

Her delicate hands clenched and then relaxed.

Suddenly...

P. S.: New author, new book, please give me some flowers and votes!

On a side note: Is "Delicious in Dungeon" any good?

It sounds like a food-themed anime, but for some reason, I have a feeling it might have some angst...

.. Do You Want to Go to School? (Part 2)

"Well, we are friends."

It seemed to be addressed to Jiang Yuan.

It also seemed like he was talking to himself.

A radiant smile immediately bloomed on Shinonome Nao's face.

Like a clear sky without a single cloud, pure and bright, illuminating everything around it.

now.

Thin clouds hung in the clear, azure sky.

The streets were teeming with people.

Shinonome Nao got it.

It gained its first friend since it was created by the Doctor.

This is extremely precious to Shinonome Nano.

"Yes, just friends."

As if drawn by that smile as clear as a crystal sky, Jiang Yuan affirmed it once again.

He then asked, "So, will you accept my invitation, Ming?"

"An invitation?" Shinonome Nono was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, an invitation to the second day of the cultural festival," Jiang Yuan replied.

"The event will be open to the public outside the school, and I'd like to invite Professor and Nana to come and take a look."
