<b>I went to school the next day in a good mood.</b>
<b>“Yukiya-chan, did you hear the rumors about your new udon dish? ”</b>
<b>Natsumi-chan asked me in the morning.</b>
<b>“Yeah, well. However I don’t know if it’s that amazing.”</b>
<b>In the classroom, the Snow House Item was popular.</b>
<b>Apparently a lot of the kid’s parents shared it with them.</b>
<b>“That new dish looks amazing, Kitahara-san~. It may become the specialty of our village.”</b>
<b>“I’ll definitely go and try it next time.”</b>
<b>Fufufu.</b>
<b>I held my nose up high in pride.</b>
<b>“You guys should all try it together.”</b>
<b>I advertised to the girls.</b>
<b>“Hey, Kitahara-san. Did you come up with the edible plant special?”</b>
<b>A male classmate named Suano asked.</b>
<b>“That’s right.”</b>
<b>I said as I proudly pushed my chest out.</b>
<b>“It’s really our best innovative dish.”</b>
<b>“Oh really, you must have influenced the other Wild Plant Udon.”</b>
<b>“. . .Other?”</b>
<b>What is he saying?</b>
<b>That can’t be the case. It was our first new option. There is another one?</b>
<b>“Oh, you don’t know? It’s at the Hikura Hotel.”</b>
<b>“What?”</b>
<b>Suano then took out his smartphone. Despite it being banned. . .There is no harm unless you open it during class. Our school also doesn’t do property checks.</b>
<b>Hyousei Junior High behavior problems are non-existent. So the teachers aren’t too strict on the students.</b>
<b>Suano secretly pulled it out and turned on the screen.</b>
<b>“Oh, look here. Kitahara-san.”</b>
<b>He then showed the screen to me.</b>
<b>Princess Hikura Hotel was displayed on the upper right of the website. It was obviously made by a professional web developer. Completely blowing my work out of the water.</b>
<b>“Look.”</b>
<b>I suspiciously looked at the screen.</b>
<b>“The new menu item. . .Wild Plant Udon!?!?”</b>
<b>It was a flashing banner on the top in large letters.</b>
<b>The product was even animated.</b>
<b>“An udon made with a wide variety of local wild plants, carefully selected by top chefs. It’s delicious and nutritious.”</b>
<b>Even the catch phrase is similar!!</b>
<b>“It’s in limited supplies. So book early to have a chance for this new popular item.”</b>
<b>No way. . .</b>
<b>“S. . .Stolen?!”</b>
<b>It’s a carbon copy of everything.</b>
<b>Moreover it’s 200 yen cheaper than ours!</b>
<b>They are undercutting us.</b>
<b>“Grr. . .”</b>
<b>I gazed and squeezed the screen.</b>
<b>“K-Kitahara-san, my smartphone. Please don’t break it. . .”</b>
<b>“Huh. Oh I’m sorry.”</b>
<b>I immediately got up and briskly walked out to the corridor.</b>
<b>I went straight to the next door class.</b>
<b>That Kouko had her back to me as she was surrounded by people.</b>
<b>“Oi, Bitch!”</b>
<b>She immediately turned around.</b>
<b>“Oi, what do you want. You barbaric female monkey.”</b>
<b>She looked at me while her hair fluttered.</b>
<b>The atmosphere quickly changed in the class.</b>
<b>Snow fights inbound. Also this chapter genuinely made me despise Kouko or the Hikura group. I was so happy for Yukiya. . . But I guess that is a good thing for a villain. You want to hate them.</b>
