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

Chapter 225 The Unyielding and Resolute Shirasaki Hana, Known by All as a Gourmet

Hobbies... How exactly can one find a suitable hobby? Shirasaki Hana fell into deep thought.

For example, some people enjoy collecting things, like Ryo Yamada, who not only likes playing bass but also collecting various basses. Others enjoy outdoor activities, like Ikuyo Kita, who often goes out with her school friends.

For example, in terms of work, Ichi Nijika has been helping her older sister manage the bar since she was a child, and she has come to regard the time she spends working at the bar as her hobby.

As for Xiao Gudu, she truly focuses on guitar outside of her studies. This dedication is the result of years of perseverance and hard work.

Shirasaki Hana just wanted something to do in her free time, so she never thought about seriously learning a musical instrument or anything like that.

Looking back on my short past, besides going to school, what has made me laugh from the bottom of my heart?

A bearded man doll! It was a toy my mom gave me when I was very little, so she loved it. But dolls don't seem to be a hobby.

As for collecting dolls... it can only be said that most collecting hobbies are quite expensive. Although Xiaohua is young, she knows how hard her mother works to earn money.

Thinking about it carefully, what else could make her laugh...? It's probably just food.

As expected, my hobby is eating, just like Hinata said...

"Don't be discouraged, Xiaohua. If you can't figure out what you're good at, why not develop a new hobby?"

Shirasaki Hana: "A new hobby?..."

Uchiha Ryo: "For example, the band those girls run, does Xiaohua like music?"

Shirasaki Hana nodded, then shook her head. "I like listening to music, but I'm not interested in playing it."

Uchiha Ryo: "What about reading or painting?"

Shirasaki Hana shook her head again. She didn't really like reading books full of text, nor was she good at drawing.

This is difficult. It's actually quite hard to help a child find a suitable hobby. Uchiha Ryo looked at Shirasaki Haruka.

"Shirasaki-nee, can I take Hana out for a walk? I'll take her home tonight."

Shirasaki Haruka waved her hand casually, "Then I'll leave the whole day to you, Ryo-kun. You can send it back tomorrow."

Okay, I'll just send my daughter out for a day. But since it's a whole day, Uchiha Rin needs to plan where to go.

"Is there anywhere Xiaohua wants to go?"

Shirasaki Hana: "A cake shop!"

Uchiha Ryo: "...Um, we're looking for hobbies, not food."

Shirasaki Hana was taken aback, then realized that she had chosen a hobby in order to get rid of the foodie label, so she could only suppress her longing for melon buns and pudding and think carefully about where she wanted to go.

As Xiaohua pondered this, she was led out of the Starry Sky by Uchiha Ryo. Since she didn't know where to go either, she decided to go back to Yukinoshita's house first.

.....

Returning to the manor beneath the snow, Uchiha Rin brought along Shirasaki Hana, who was looking around with great curiosity.

Yukino opened the door again. She wasn't surprised to see Uchiha Rin coming over, but generously pulled Shirasaki Hana into the courtyard.

"Where's Chitanda?"

Yukinoshita: "She went home today, didn't you know?"

Uchiha Ryo: "She went home? Wasn't Chitanda supposed to stay here with you until Hinata and the others came back?"

Upon entering the room, Yukinoshita skillfully went to the kitchen to pour tea and bring out the snacks for the guests, handing them to Hana.

"Eru is, after all, the only daughter of the Chitanda family. Her life is much more tiring than mine... after all, there is a family business to leave to her to inherit."

At this point, Yukinoshita suddenly remembered something she had learned during a casual conversation with Chitanda.

The Chitanda family's affection for Eru is no less than Yukino's affection for her cat. In other words, she doesn't have the issues of family inheritance or being a caged bird at all.

The Chitanda family doesn't confine Eru, but lets this curious cat explore everywhere. As long as she doesn't forget that they still have a family business, they practically give Chitanda complete freedom.

However, Chitanda Eru is also a well-behaved and sensible girl. The classes arranged by her family were not canceled, but only postponed.

So she stayed with Yukino for two days, and naturally left after learning that Haruno would be back today.

Uchiha Ryo: "Chitanda is really sensible..."

Yukinoshita: "Yes, unlike me, I would want to resist whatever my mother asked me to do..."

Uchiha Ryo: "Well, that's Yukinoshita's problem, not yours. Let's not talk about that. Hana wants to find a hobby that suits her. Do you have any recommendations?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Hana Shirasaki, who was sitting on the sofa eating cookies.

"Xiaohua likes to eat, so why not let her learn to cook?"

Uchiha Ryo clapped her hands. "As expected of Yukino, that's a great suggestion!"

Shirasaki Hana overheard Ling-nii and Yukino-nee's conversation. She was going to learn to cook, but she was a bit clumsy and didn't know if she could do it well.

"Cooking...I'm probably not very good at it. My mom doesn't let me into the kitchen at home because I always end up making things worse..."

"Is that so?" Yukinoshita frowned.

"No, I don't think there's such a thing as 'not good at' a person. It's just a matter of whether you've been serious or not, and whether you've learned it or not. If Xiaohua wants to learn to cook with me, I can teach you."

Twenty minutes later—

Yukinoshita walked out of the kitchen with Kohana.

"Let's consider our next feasible hobby."

Shirasaki Hana: "Oh..."

Yukino sighed. "If Hana wants some snacks, you can come to my apartment. It's upstairs from Ling's place, you know that, right?"

Although I don't know what happened in the kitchen, it seems that Shirasaki Hana really isn't suited for cooking.

Uchiha Ryo: "Since you can't cook, how about you take charge of recording the food?"

Shirasaki Hana looked up. "Recording food?"

Uchiha Ryo pushed the cookies on the table forward. "For example, if you eat this butter cookie today, whether it's delicious or not, you can record it."

This recording method can be drawing, writing, or taking photos.

Yukinoshita rested her chin on her hand and said, "That seems like a good idea. After all, it's common knowledge that Hana loves to eat, and keeping a record of what she's eaten is a nice hobby."

Shirasaki Hana: "But then, wouldn't that still make you a glutton?"

Yukino shook her head. "If you eat without any purpose, you can certainly be called a foodie, but to record what you eat, whether it's how delicious it is, its nutritional content, or its price, is to truly be a foodie."

"A person like that should be called a gourmet."

Shirasaki Hana's eyes lit up!

Yes, there's nothing wrong with liking to eat! If you can keep a record of what you've eaten, you can immediately recall the dining experience when you look back at it later.

"Okay, then I've decided. My hobby is documenting my food!"
