Crossover Anime: I'm at Shuchiin Academy, and my surname is Uchiha.

Chapter 264 Are you all cat lovers or dog lovers?

"Ling, were you just saying I don't understand gentleness?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen.

"Yukino-neechan!!"

As if seeing a savior, Shirasaki Hana threw down her English book and jumped off the sofa to run to Yukino's side.

"Good morning, Xiaohua. Did Ling bully you? It's okay, I'll help you."

"Hmm, what does Yukino-neechan have for breakfast?"

Yukino smiled. "We had steamed buns for breakfast. Eru and I got up early to make them. Do you and Rumi want to join us?"

"Ling, are you coming too?"

Uchiha Ryo shook his head in refusal. "Everyone smashing bags together? What kind of post-New Year's entertainment is this? I'll pass, but I can help you wake up the others to help."

Chitanda Eru peeked out from the kitchen. "Ryo-san can wait in the living room. Rumi-chan~ Go see if anyone else is awake and ask if they want to make dumplings together."

Rumi Tsurumi nodded, then glanced at bedroom 101. Regardless of whether Shizuka Hiratsuka was awake or not, even if she was awake, she wouldn't cook, so there was no need to worry about her.

I knocked gently on the door and then pushed open the door to bedroom number 103.

"....."

Neither of them seemed to be waking up, so Rumi quietly left the room and went upstairs.

Pushing open the door to bedroom 201, I found that both of my older sisters were awake.

Little Lonely sat on the balcony practicing her guitar for the morning, while Hayasaka Ai was watching videos on her laptop. Uh... it was a video of various hydraulic presses versus various other objects.

"Lonely-senpai, Hayasaka-senpai, Yukino-neechan, and the others are preparing to make dumplings for breakfast. Would you like to help?"

"Steamed buns? Sure, I'll go! Watch me make you a basket of Chinese xiaolongbao!"

Hayasaka Ai, in her gyaru (gal) form, stood up and declared that she was very good at making dumplings!

Little Lonely smiled awkwardly. She actually wanted to help... but besides playing guitar, she didn't know how to cook. Rather than getting in the way in the kitchen, she decided to wait for dinner.

Entering bedroom 202 next door, Shirogane Kei, seemingly accustomed to waking up early, was writing something in his notes by the window. Amakusa Shino, however, was still asleep.

"Shirogane-senpai, Yukino-neechan and the others are making dumplings, do you want to join?"

"Oh, you're studying in the US! Great! I'll go down and help you in a bit."

Having finished her work, Tsurumi Rumi successfully led two people downstairs, and the task of making dumplings changed from two people to six.

Everyone gathered in the villa's kitchen, while Uchiha Ryo stayed alone in the living room, sending Natsume a message: "Come over with Shirogane Miyuki and Ishigami Yu when the steamed buns are ready."

"Xiaohua, just watch me wrap them."

Although only Shirasaki Hana was clumsy in the kitchen, she was very obedient and quietly followed Yukino Yukinoshita to learn.

Haika Hayasaka: "Yukino-san, I didn't know you were so good with kids..."

Chitanda Eru: "Hehe, Yukino gives me the feeling of raising a daughter. Hmm~ If I have a daughter in the future, I'll leave her with you!"

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head, looking slightly shy. "What are you talking about, good mother... Don't joke around."

Shirasaki Hana looked over as well. "I'm not a child! I've been studying hard."

Uchiha Ryo, who was standing in the living room observing, said: "...The two of you plus Rumi, three people with no blood relation, if you went out and said you were three sisters, I bet even passersby would believe it."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Stop arguing. Come over here and stay in the living room with Enyun-chan. We need to prepare steamed buns."

In the corner of the kitchen, Yanyunjiang, who was enjoying a salmon by herself, was once again picked up by Uchiha Ryo.

"Meow—(I haven't finished eating yet!)"

"Don't yell. I don't understand what you're saying, but it's just half a salmon, is it really that big of a deal?"

Watching Uchiha Ryo leave with the cat, Chitanda blinked. "I always felt that Ryo-kun and Yanyun-chan had a very good relationship."

Hayasaka Ai frowned. "Is that so? Why do I get the feeling that the two of them are at odds..."

Yukino Yukinoshita snorted softly, "Because Ling-kun has absolutely no idea how to raise a cat, poor En-yun-chan, she's stuck with such an owner."

Chitanda Eru chuckled, "Yukino really loves cats; she's a staunch cat lover."

Hayasaka Ai raised her hand. "I'm a dog lover! I really like the pace from Fujiwara-san's house. What about you guys?"

Upon hearing Hayasaka Ai's question, Shirogane Kei thought for a moment and said, "I'm a cat person too, I probably prefer cats to dogs."

Xiao Gui and his brother share the same hobby: cats. However, according to Uchiha Ryo, Shirogane Miyuki seems to prefer penguins.

In the living room, Uchiha Ryo overheard the cat and dog discussion coming from the kitchen. She remembered seeing a penguin plush pillow at the Shirogane family's house during her previous visits. She initially thought it belonged to Kei, but the other person immediately explained that it was her older brother's.

Shirasaki Hana stated that she is a staunch cat lover because she's a little afraid of dogs...

Rumi Tsurumi believes that cats and dogs are pretty much the same, but if she had to choose between the two, she would prefer cats.

Uchiha Ryo: (You three are definitely sisters now!)

"Yukino isn't just a cat lover, she's a panda lover too," Uchiha Ryo suddenly said.

Shirasaki Hana tilted her head. "Panda?"

Rumi Tsurumi reminded her, "Pandas, hmm... they are indeed very cute creatures."

"Are you talking about that Mr. Pan doll?" Chitanda Eru asked, hands on her hips. "Ling-kun must be a staunch cat lover too, right? After all, she has Yanyun-chan as a pet."

You could call him a cat lover, since perhaps it's the influence of his Uchiha bloodline that makes it impossible for him to feel any aversion towards cats and his younger brother.

"You guys stop chatting and get back to making steamed buns."

Uchiha Ryo rubbed his stomach, which was starting to feel hungry.

"Also, rather than saying I'm a cat lover, I'd say I prefer Europeans..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hayasaka Ai and Yukino Yukinoshita, who reacted the fastest, stepped forward and covered Uchiha Rin's mouth, while the other walked up to him with an unfriendly expression.

"Xiaohua and Rumi are still here. What do you want to say?"

"Um—cough cough, what I mean is, I like Au Yuen-chi! That's Orange Pie... But what are you guys thinking?!"
