Chapter 29
Candy
Jyou wasn't sure about this, but he knew that he should try.
"Let's see…" he checked a list, seemed looking for the destination he should go.
In a sudden, he smiled and gave a mark of one address.
"I'm going!" he shouted and went out from his apartment.
"I'll work the first three pages, and for you the last three pages," Takeru pointed his pencil toward Hikari.
"Got it!" she exclaimed, and began to wrote down on her book.
The two of them grew silent as they worked their homework.
However…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" a loud yell came from Hikari's bedroom.
Takeru blinked a few times, while Hikari was covering her ears.
"What's with that?" Takeru rose from his seat and peeked in.
The sight was giving him a slight grin.
"How could?! HOW COULD I LOSE WITH A LITTLE RAT LIKE YOU?!" Taichi, who yelled before, now yelled again.
His opponent, Daisuke for obvious, could only laugh.
"There's always win and lose, 'cause life is never flat," the goggle-boy said wisely, but Taichi wasn't even listening at him.
"Gah! Gimme another! I'll beat you for sure!" Hikari, who was now peeked in to, giggled as the result, while Takeru laughing but he covered his mouth with his hands.
A sudden bell rang made the four of them wonder.
"Who's there?" Hikari murmured, and made her way to the door.
"Welcome-" Hikari lifted her face to see the person's face. He's definitely taller than her.
"Jyou-senpai!" Hikari's yell was soon made the trio boys rushed to the door.
"Long time no see!" Taichi slapped Jyou's back, which he returned with a small grin.
"You've never changed, Taichi," Jyou stated, causing the former leader glared at him.
"As if you don't, Mr-eldest-in-group," Taichi sneered. Hikari and Takeru laughed with his words, but Daisuke knew nothing about it.
"Well… I have only a little time here… so I guess let's go to the point," Jyou put his hand in his bag, and took out a plastic bag.
"What's that?" Taichi asked.
"Just open it," Jyou merely smiled.
With a swift move, Taichi had already opened it and now shook it off so that its contain dropped on the floor.
"Waa! Candy!" Hikari exclaimed, and took one while staring at its wrapper.
"Aha… sorry if it's bad-looking. I'm more focused on the candy, not the wrapper one. You can have all of it, so don't be shy to have some savor of it," Jyou explained, but there's no one who listened to him.
Sweat-dropped, he took out a book.
"So, how's that?" the glasses-boy asked.
"It's really chewy! I like it !" Hikari was the first to spoke out her comment.
"I still have no idea what's this thing made from, from the colour… Jyou-senpai," Takeru added his comment as he took another candy. "But I like the taste, though," the blond grinned.
"How about you, Daisuke-kun and Taichi?" Jyou asked as he finished writing something on his book.
The duo leader shared a look, before grinned.
"IT'S REALLY GOOD! I LOVE IT!" they both yelled in unison.
"Err… is that so?" Jyou was perplexed with the their sudden answer.
"Of course!" Taichi vigorously grabbed three candies and ate it all together.
…
"It's really chewy and tasty, Jyou-senpai. I wonder what's the process that you had to make a flawless candy like this…" Daisuke sharp comment made Jyou a bit blushed.
"No… it's not like that…" Jyou bashfully replied, causing the other to laugh at him.
He smiled, before explaining.
"… This candy is one of my experiment. I was wondering by myself, 'in this era, vegetables and fruits are pretty hard for children to be eaten', so I went to observe and learned that candy is one of few sugary items that both adult and children like. With that, I went to make my own candy. If you want to know, the main ingredient for this candy is spinach," the eldest of the group grinned.
"Spi…nach?" Daisuke murmured in disbelief.
"But it has no taste of spinach!" Taichi spoke out.
Takeru then noticed something.
"So that's it! You make the candy with spinach so that there's the nutrient of the spinach but the taste is sweet and everybody have no problem to eat that! It's really smart, Jyou-senpai! No wonder that it comes from you!" the blond's statement made Hikari nodding her head too.
Once again, Jyou blushed for being flattered.
"Yeah… thanks… by the way, can I have all of your signature?" he handed them a book which was written with their comment before.
"For sure!" Taichi grinned, while the other laughing silently.
"Thank you very much! I'm glad that all of you like it!" Jyou bowed.
"No need to thanks, Jyou! After all, we have it for free," Taichi grinned, and Daisuke nudged him playfully.
"If you have more, I'll buy that!" Daisuke added courageously. Jyou could only smile.
"Well… see you next time!"
"See you!"
They watched him until he disappeared from their sight.
"So, what are we gonna do with them?" Takeru sweat-dropped when he saw the living room that full of candy wrapper.
"Well… guess that we should clean it by ourselves,…" Hikari mumbled when she glanced at Daisuke and Taichi who had already focused on their game before.
Takeru grinned.
"You're right. Let's work!"
In the bedroom, Daisuke mocked Taichi.
"If the candy works well, you'll be smarter than before,"
Taichi grinned.
"Let's just see what will happen later,"
