Chapter 246 Is there a lot of summer homework?
He casually picked up a straw from the table. "Let's have roasted seagull later."
Yanyunjiang: "Meow! (Okay, okay!)"
Shirasaki Hana gazed at the seagulls in the sky, then grabbed Uchiha Ryo's arm from one side.
"No need, don't hurt the seagulls."
Uchiha Ryo lowered his head. Children are so kind-hearted, but he also wanted to try the seagull to see if it tasted good, so...
"Little Flower, have you ever eaten seagull?"
Shirasaki Hana: "N-no...no."
"What if seagulls are delicious! Especially delicious?"
Shirasaki Hana was a little conflicted. "Our teacher told us that we shouldn't hurt wild animals."
Yanyunjiang was very unhappy. How could this be casual? That guy ate my fish, so it's only natural that I want to eat it too!
Uchiha Ryo: "Is Hana still keeping up her food diary? Just recording ordinary food is so boring, but think about it, this is a seagull!"
Tsurumi Rumi looked speechlessly at Uchiha Ryo, who was coaxing the little girl.
"Brother Ling just wants to eat it himself, and what are you going to use to catch seagulls?"
Uchiha Ryo held the straw in his hand. "I'll use this."
Rumi Tsurumi blinked. "Are you serious? How can you shoot down a seagull with a straw?"
Of course, the best way would be to shoot the seagull down directly by (using the power to overwrite reality to turn the straw into a kunai).
Rumi Tsurumi nodded, then pulled Shirasaki Hana aside and said.
"Brother Ling was just joking, you don't need to take it seriously, he can't catch seagulls."
Uchiha Ryo ruffled Rumi's hair. "You really don't trust me that much?"
Liu Mei scoffed, "This isn't a matter of belief. You're trying to fool a child with this kind of joke? Do you think I'm some kind of little flower?"
Shirasaki Hana: "???"
Uchiha Ryo: "Oh~ what if I successfully shoot down the seagull?"
Rumi Tsurumi raised her head. "If you can get the seagull down using only a straw, you can name your price, I'll agree to anything."
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "If you win in the US, what do you want?"
"Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, Brother Ling will owe me a favor, and Xiao Hua's bet with us will be my witness."
Shirasaki Hana quietly drank her juice. Although it was hard to imagine her using a straw to knock down the seagull, Ling-gege seemed very confident.
"Hey, what are you guys betting on? Help me out, help me out!"
Fujiwara Chika, who was sunbathing on the deck, sat up and quickly ran over, asking curiously.
Rumi Tsurumi: "Ryo-nii said he wanted to catch a seagull with a straw, but I said he couldn't do it."
Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Chika also looked at Uchiha Ryo with a puzzled expression.
"Ling, are you kidding me? Even elementary school students wouldn't believe something like that."
Uchiha Ryo: "...Just you wait and see."
Fujiwara Chika raised her hand. "Then I'll join the bet too. I'll team up with Rumi. If you lose... you have to lend me your completed summer homework!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was sitting on the other side basking in the sun, looked over.
"Fujiwara-kun... I'm your homeroom teacher, right? You're borrowing homework from the top student in the grade right in front of me?"
Fujiwara Chika was taken aback. Hers—she had forgotten that Hiratsuka Shizuka was right there. After all, she was definitely trying to get something out of this freebie-like bet.
This summer, Chika Fujiwara was either traveling, on her way to travel, or hanging out with her board game club friends. Plus, she had piano lessons and stuff... She had no time for homework!
"Um... Hiratsuka-sensei~ Hehehe."
Hiratsuka Shizuka took off her sunglasses. "You can't even whine anymore. Do your homework yourself."
Fujiwara Chika pouted, "But there's so much homework... The teacher just doesn't understand how we students feel."
Uchiha Ryo expressed his admiration, because he hadn't written it either and was thinking of asking Shirogane Miyuki for it after he finished writing it.
Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled, "Don't try to deny it, I didn't leave any more than necessary."
Fujiwara Chika sighed, "The Japanese language homework doesn't seem like much, but if you add in math, foreign languages, physics, chemistry, biology, politics, history, geography... all the homework in all subjects combined will be a nightmare!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "That's no excuse for copying homework."
"And the amount of homework across all subjects is really excessive. Where is the excess? It's been the same amount of homework for so many years! Sometimes you should reflect on your own actions: have you been studying diligently? Have your grades improved?"
Uchiha Ryo: "...Would Hiratsuka-sensei like to join the bet too?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned. "What are we betting on?"
It seemed that Hiratsuka Shizuka hadn't heard their conversation, so Tsurumi Rumi repeated the bet again.
Uchiha Ryo: "Actually, I feel like I have a lot of homework, and I haven't done it yet. How about this, if I win, Hiratsuka-sensei will do my homework for me, so you can relive your student days."
Hiratsuka Shizuka fell silent.
"I have a bad feeling about this. Are you sure you're only using a straw, and not something else?"
Uchiha Ryo: "I promise!"
"Okay! You'll just have to work in the office for me! I'll let you experience what it's like to be a teacher and painstakingly grade homework and tests."
Yanyunjiang, who had been lying on the ground, meowed: "(Hurry up, I want to eat seagulls)"
As soon as Hiratsuka Shizuka finished speaking, the straw in Uchiha Ryo's hand shot out suddenly.
The translucent straw quickly disappeared in the sunlight.
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "That's ridiculous. You lost."
Tsurumi Rumi laughed too. "Ryo-nii, it's not good to just show off like that."
The next moment, a seagull suddenly fell from the sky, but Yanyunjiang leaped up and caught the falling seagull.
A straw was visibly piercing through the throat of the seagull.
Master's control over his eye technique is getting more and more proficient... When the straw was thrown, it turned into a kunai, and after the kunai hit the seagull, it turned back into a straw.
Ame no Nagi possesses the ability to overwrite reality. With sufficient eye power, she is truly invincible.
"Rumi, Fujiwara-san, and Hiratsuka-sensei, you can't back out now. Hiratsuka-sensei will help me with my homework, and you two... I'll ask you for help when I need it."
On the deck, Yanyun-chan and Nyanko-sensei witnessed everything. Natsume smiled helplessly. Was this Ling-ge's perverse sense of humor?
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "...Impossible! I demand an examination of the seagull's carcass!"
Please feel free to do as you please.
Five minutes later... the seagull had been taken to the kitchen, while Hiratsuka Shizuka on the deck looked at Uchiha Ryo with utter confusion.
"How did you do that?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Who knows? Maybe I was just lucky."
Rumi Tsurumi also pouted, but the distant land in the sea distracted her.
"Look! It's an island!"
Chika Fujiwara: "We've finally arrived! Our island adventure begins!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded. "Yes, Fujiwara, you guys go and call them out. We need to get ready to disembark."
Uchiha Ryo pulled Shirasaki Hana over, "Hey, Hana is a witness, so none of you can back out."
Hiratsuka Shizuka turned her head and scoffed, "It's just summer homework, huh? I'd like to see how much you guys have!"
