Gyoza Senbei

Looking out from the classroom window, a shadow that seemed to cover everything was slowly curling up on the ground, moving at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye. Because the central school building was located on a high ground in the suburbs of the city, the evening star was able to observe the masterpiece brought to the city by that giant "curtain" in the sky.

However, for the evening star, seeing this scene also meant that the end of school was near. Sure enough, before the teacher who noticed her daydreaming and looking out the window could issue a reminder, the classroom and blackboard automatically switched to dismissal mode, and the students promptly turned off their desk terminal's student system and got up to leave the classroom.

“Well then, class, that will be all for today. Please pay attention to safety on your way home.”

“Evening star, you were daydreaming again and not paying attention in class.”

Another short-haired girl bowed to the teacher and then turned around to gently tap the head of the long-haired girl, whose gaze was still outside the window, with her personal terminal.

The evening star complained, “Ugh, what’s up, Dream Butterfly? The last period of social science class on Tuesday afternoon is so boring, can you even pay attention…” as she got up from her seat, retracting her gaze and looking at the girl named Dream Butterfly beside her.

Facing the gaze from the evening star, Dream Butterfly shyly turned towards the classroom door and quickly added, “Isn’t Teacher Zhang teaching social science too?”

“Her class is so interesting! Those anthropomorphic teachers can't compare at all!”

Hearing the name Teacher Zhang, the evening star suddenly became excited, a gentle spring breeze blowing in from the window, stirring her waist-length hair.

“Ah… I shouldn’t have mentioned her,” Dream Butterfly walked to the classroom door, sighed softly, then looked back, “I’m going to the school library, if you don’t come over, I won’t care about you.”

“What? You’re going to the library again…”

The evening star complained somewhat speechlessly, tidying up her personal terminal and desk, and followed along.

“Yeah, I want to borrow the book that the teacher mentioned in class earlier to take a look.”

“You really went to find it to read, and couldn’t you just sync it directly from the cloud to your terminal? Why go to the library?”

The anthropomorphic teacher smiled slightly at the evening star and Dream Butterfly, who were complaining while walking out of the classroom, only Dream Butterfly said she would see them tomorrow in response to the anthropomorphic teacher's smile.

“I think holding a physical book in hand has that, how to say, the breath of our Earthly hometown?”

She said, placing her index finger on her lips, her eyes slightly squinting upwards as if she was thinking about how to express her thoughts.

“I don’t understand you, why do you like things from a place you’ve never been to so much?”

“But isn’t that the hometown of all of us?”

“Yeah, yeah, I know you’re very ‘homesick,’ although that part of you is quite cute.”

This sentence made Dream Butterfly's face turn red, but at that moment the evening star looked towards the end of the corridor, where the school library was located.

“Evening star, Dream Butterfly, welcome to the high school library of New Osaka Central School. How can I assist you two?”

The anthropomorphic teacher at the reception greeted the two warmly.

Dream Butterfly took out her personal terminal, tapped on it a couple of times, and then handed it to the anthropomorphic teacher, “Sorry, I’d like to ask you to help me print out the physical copies of these two books.”

The teacher glanced at the book titles displayed on the personal terminal, nodded, “Okay, I’ll retrieve the text resources from the cloud database right away, and initialize the printing process, please wait a moment.”

However, just a few seconds after the teacher spoke, she turned around and took out two books from the equipment behind her, “These are the books you wanted to borrow, please take care of them.” She handed them to Dream Butterfly.

“Okay, thank you.”

“Once you finish reading, or if you no longer need these books, you can return them here or at any resource center in the node city, hehe,” the teacher smiled slightly, “These rules and regulations should have bored you, Butterfly.”

“Hehe, thank you for your consistent service, I will read them carefully.”

Dream Butterfly smiled at the teacher in the library.

“Shall we go to the city center later? I saw on Witter that someone is making a dessert called crepes over there.”

The evening star murmured while swiping the display screen of her personal terminal.

“Dessert? I’m not really…”

“I heard it’s a dessert that used to be very popular on Earth, it seems that person found the recipe from the database of number 6…”

As the evening star spoke, she pushed the display screen of the terminal in front of Dream Butterfly, the sudden action startled her, but after she touched her chest and calmed down, she looked at the photo on the screen.

“Then, let’s go try it…”

A few minutes later, the two appeared on the shuttle heading to the city center. The carriage still had a few students in academic department uniforms from the central school, their eyes glimmering with a faint blue light, a sign that their eye implants were receiving messages, these students had access to more advanced technological means than personal terminals.

“Hey, we’re almost there.” The evening star looked somewhat speechlessly at Dream Butterfly, who was enviously staring at those senior students, but for the evening star, this was also a common occurrence, so she looked out the window in boredom.

The giant white building suspended in the center of the city gradually came into view, but compared to that giant object in the sky, it still fell short, so one could only see its true form by coming to the city center. A few fluffy clouds, resembling cotton candy, lingered around it, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere. A small black oval object was approaching the floating building from a distance, trailing a faint blue tail.

Retrieving her gaze from the sky, the roads on both sides were composed of small buildings of various shapes. They should be the residences of the senior students who chose to stay in the city after graduating from the central school. Although the evening star quite liked the various novel things in the city, she still wanted to build a house in the suburbs after graduating from the central school, staring at the sky in a daze every day, of course, it would be best to go with Dream Butterfly.

“Attention passengers, we have arrived at the new Umeda station…”

Along with the gentle announcement of the shuttle, Dream Butterfly's voice came, “If you get off, I won’t care about you?”

“Ah!”

The evening star came to her senses, glancing at Dream Butterfly, who had already walked to the door of the vehicle.

“Uh, couldn’t you have called me earlier?”

“Didn’t you remind me last stop?”

Looking at the evening star, who stumbled off the vehicle, Dream Butterfly covered her mouth and chuckled, then seemed to notice something and pointed to the street across.

“Is that it?”

“Hmm? What?” The evening star looked confused in the direction Dream Butterfly pointed, and when she saw the stall with two people in front, she suddenly realized, “Oh, the crepe stall. Uh, this…”

What made the evening star suddenly stutter was a long line, which included students dressed in the same uniform as herself, senior students in academic department uniforms, and even students from elementary and middle schools, as well as various adults.

“What to do? Are we still going to eat? Where are the people? Uh, how come you’ve already lined up!”

Without saying a word, Dream Butterfly walked to the end of the line, as if she had heard the evening star's voice, and while walking, she turned her head back and said, “If you don’t catch up, you’ll have to line up at the back.” She seemed to point intentionally at the figures gradually approaching not far away.

“Hello everyone, I am Rika, who loves to cook! Oh~ there are quite a few school juniors here, this uniform makes me feel nostalgic! Today I specially came to the front of the new Umeda station to set up a special stall, bringing you a new dish I found from the database of small 6 a while ago, which is crepes made with wheat flour, cream, and various fruits. It is said that on Earth…”

After about half an hour of queuing, the two finally approached the crepe stall, and then they heard what seemed to be the stall owner wearing a tall white hat and an academic department uniform enthusiastically introducing.

“Oh! Isn’t this little Dream Butterfly? You’re here again!”

The stall owner, who called herself Rika, saw Dream Butterfly, who was about to reach the stall, put down her spatula and waved excitedly at her.

Seeing this, Dream Butterfly felt a little embarrassed but politely replied, “Hello… it’s nice to see you again.”

“Eh, do you know this stall owner?”

The evening star asked curiously, turning to Dream Butterfly, who was chatting with the stall owner.

“Well, sort of…”

Before Dream Butterfly could continue explaining to the evening star, the stall owner Rika enthusiastically started talking, “Dream Butterfly, you ate so deliciously last week when you came to the restaurant, it made me very touched. Did you see the promotional post I sent on Witter? Hehe, you really came, I’m so happy to see you again. Which flavor do you want? Or should I make one like before?”

Rika was busy making crepes with a student in an academic department uniform beside her, her eyes sparkling with a faint blue light, but soon she apologetically said, “Haha, I forgot you can’t use this.” Then, a simple menu was airdropped to the personal terminals of the evening star and Dream Butterfly.

“I want this, chocolate cream flavor.” The evening star quickly scanned the menu and then maliciously turned her head to squint at Dream Butterfly.

“What? Why are you looking at me like that! I just went to try the Earth’s local cuisine that Rika-senpai’s restaurant was making online a while ago, actually… it’s quite delicious. I didn’t expect it to be them this time…” Dream Butterfly hurriedly explained, “Ah, sorry, please give me a strawberry cream flavor.”

“Hehe, you’re so cute.”

“Okay, thank you. Oh, is this long-haired little sister in the same uniform as you flirting with you?”

“What flirting! Ahem, her name is Evening Star Ist, she is my, um, good friend. Who is this next to you?”

While Dream Butterfly introduced, she secretly glanced at the evening star, who was just about to say something but was distracted by the chef's superb cooking skills.

“Haha, her name is Anjie, she is also my classmate and good friend, and a tool person.”

After Rika finished this sentence, the girl named Riko, who was wearing an apron over her school uniform, clearly gave her a white look.

“This person’s cooking skills are quite impressive…”

“Hehehe… here, your crepes are ready, take care, be careful not to burn yourself.”

The two received the crepes from Rika's hands, and since there were still many people behind them, Dream Butterfly led the evening star to a bench in the park across the street.

“This is a crepe, it looks like the rolled pancake in the school cafeteria, but the vegetables and meat inside have been replaced with cream and chocolate…”

The evening star carefully examined the pancake filled with cream and chocolate in her hand and then took a bite.

“Wow! This smooth and rich taste!” Dream Butterfly, who also took a bite of the crepe, suddenly lit up with excitement, “And this portion feels so big, after finishing this one, I might not even be able to eat dinner tonight…”

“The taste is indeed not bad, it was worth the trip.”

After taking a few more bites, the evening star glanced at the girl beside her, who was focused on the delicious food in her hands.

“But speaking of this portion, is it because you know the stall owner that they gave us extra?”

“Shouldn’t be. Hmm, I’ll send a message to my mom saying to make less for dinner.”

Dream Butterfly stuttered a couple of times and then took out her personal terminal to fiddle with it, and then as if she discovered something, she suddenly spoke up.

“Hey! This is your mom, right?”

She said, extending the display screen of her personal terminal to show the evening star. It displayed a poster of the results report from an extracurricular activity advised by a professor from the central school’s academic department last year and this year’s enrollment advertisement.

However, the evening star didn’t seem too interested, glancing at it casually and responding with a somewhat distracted “Hmm.”

“Your reaction is so cold, what’s wrong? Did you have a fight with your mom?”

Dream Butterfly, who had poked her head out from behind the screen, asked in confusion.

“Uh, no way.” The evening star immediately turned her face away, somewhat displeased, and said this, taking a bite of the crepe and looking up at the sky.

The oval-shaped cargo shuttle was just arriving, preparing to dock with the giant building in the sky, and the shadow that fell just brushed past the evening star.

“That person said that work is in a critical stage, and hasn’t returned to the surface for about two months.”

“Didn’t they leave before the winter break? Professor Ist has been on a business trip for so long? No wonder you’ve been so distracted this semester… I respect Professor Ist a lot, but being away for so long is a bit too much. If you want me to accompany you…”

Dream Butterfly spoke in a slightly reproachful tone, and just as she was about to retract her hand holding the personal terminal, she was suddenly grabbed by the evening star, who had a serious expression, and then she slid her pinky finger across the screen.

“Extracurricular field trip activities organized by the gravitational wave observatory, are you going to participate in this again? I remember you signed up last year.”

The evening star asked abruptly.

“Ah! You startled me… um, yes, it seems I’m the only one in the class who signed up.” Dream Butterfly was a bit startled by the sudden question, but she seemed to have realized something, and just smiled helplessly, “Actually, I was eliminated during the data review stage after signing up last year…”

“So you were eliminated right away?”

The evening star released the delicate arm of the girl who was telling her past failures and returned to her usual expression, finishing the last bite of the crepe.

“Wah, Evening Star… don’t say it so bluntly. That time I wasn’t prepared enough, sigh, it’s all my fault.”

“Then this time you should write the written application materials and send them to me.” The evening star said while waving her hand to summon an automatic recycling station, throwing the crepe wrapper into it.

“Eh?”

A gentle breeze blew by, the evening star stood up from the bench, looked up at the shuttle that had just completed unloading and was accelerating towards the giant curtain in the sky, and then continued,

“I’ll have my mom help you revise it.”

“Eh!?” Dream Butterfly almost choked on this sentence, coughed a couple of times, and then showed a face of disbelief as she asked back, “Really? Isn’t Professor Ist very busy…”

“Um… of course, yes.”

“Wow! Thank you so much, Evening Star. With Professor Ist’s approval, it feels like this year’s activity is definitely secured. No, this is too unfair, I also have to work harder.”

“Actually, I should thank you…”

“Ah? What did you say?”

“It’s nothing, let’s go home, I’ll just go to your house for dinner tonight!”

The evening star said as she pulled Dream Butterfly’s arm, walking towards the bus station.

The ringing of the incoming call woke the evening star, who was still sleeping in her room.

With sleepy eyes, she glanced at the floating incoming call reminder window, waved her right hand to accept the call request, and then the face of a short-haired girl wearing white round-frame glasses appeared in that window.

“Ah! Finally connected, I’ve called several times, why didn’t you answer! Huh, why are you still in bed...? You actually slept until the afternoon…”

“I just didn’t sleep well last night, and since it’s the weekend, I caught up on some sleep.”

“Hmm, is that so? Did you sleep well?”

The girl in the window showed a slight worried expression. The evening star slowly got out of bed, yawning and rubbing her eyes, walking to the wall opposite.

“Ah, I slept well.”

As she spoke, she called out a menu from the wall, tapped it a couple of times, and then a fully equipped washbasin appeared in front of the evening star as if the wall had come to life.

“Really? Anyway, don’t forget to gather at the Monument subway station at 3:30 PM.”

“Oh, I remember, I remember.”

“As long as you remember, I won’t disturb your washing up, see you later!”

The call window closed with a snap, and the evening star seemed to remember something and said, “Little Te, did you manage to send out the things I asked you to send out at noon today?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a call window popped up on the mirror of the washbasin in front of the evening star, where a young woman’s face appeared, the housekeeper robot answered her question in a gentle voice.

“I have delivered it according to your instructions at 12:30 PM, and it is expected to be delivered to the designated location between 5:10 PM and 5:20 PM today.”

After answering the evening star’s inquiry, the housekeeper robot in the window smiled slightly, covering its mouth.

“Hehe, making gifts for your good friend Dream Butterfly overnight, and staying at your friend’s house, our Miss Evening Star has finally surpassed her mother, Ms. Star.”

“Uh, that last part is unnecessary. Well, I don’t know how long I’ll be staying at Dream Butterfly’s house, so after I go over today, you can clean the house thoroughly and then enter standby mode.”

“Okay. Your mother, Ms. Star, sent a video communication this morning, but you didn’t answer because you weren’t up yet, so it was transferred to the voicemail channel. Would you like me to play the recording for you?”

“Play it on the mirror.”

“Okay, connecting you now.”

A window opened on the mirror in front of the evening star, and the image showed a lady in a white tight-fitting spacesuit. Although she had long hair like the evening star, her hair color was a bright golden yellow, tied in a neat ponytail, and she seemed to be walking hurriedly on the corridor of a space station, with the vast starry sky on one side and a metallic wall on the other.

“Little Evening, I’m so sorry, Mom has been on a business trip to Station 2 for so long. I originally said I would go to your grade to give a guest lecture… but this time it’s really important work, I can’t get away, please forgive me, okay? After I return, I will spend time with you. Ah, but I might be busy until next year…”

At this point, the evening star’s mother clasped her hands together and repeatedly apologized.

“Oh right, about the message you left me the day before yesterday, I will find time to help little Dream Butterfly take a look. Also, after you go to little Dream Butterfly’s house, please say hello to Butterfly for me, I miss her creamy baked rice and braised pork so much. Once I’m done, let’s find a time for both our families to go to the seaside for a few days.”

As she spoke, several communication windows suddenly popped up beside Evening Star’s mother, and a woman’s urgent voice came through:

“Comrade Ist, the AI preprocessing is complete, the data is out, I have sent it to you, please check it as soon as possible, on the several frequency bands you marked…”

Before that person could finish speaking, Evening Star’s mother apologized and hurriedly cut off the communication signal with the evening star. The image froze on the last frame and automatically closed after a few seconds.

“Hmph, every time it’s always after I finish being busy…”

The evening star murmured discontentedly, restoring the washbasin to its normal wall state.

“Well, I’m heading out.”

“Okay, I wish you a pleasant time at your friend’s house.”

“That sentence is also quite unnecessary.”

Walking down from the shuttle with Dream Butterfly, the evening star looked towards the giant building ahead.

At the bustling entrance, a similarly huge sign hung, “New Osaka·TONO Supermarket” boldly displayed its existence.

“Is this the supermarket on Earth you mentioned before? It’s so big… I saw it from the spaceship when I looked down at New Osaka before, so it turns out it’s a supermarket.”

“Yes!” Dream Butterfly answered while looking at the building, her eyes sparkling as if shining with golden light, she seemed unable to contain her excitement, and the two large braids floating behind her also swayed.

“It looks a bit like the back storage area I visited during the fourth grade.”

“Hmm! Actually, it’s quite similar to that warehouse inside, but I’ve only been there a few times, after all, it costs credit points, so I’m a bit reluctant to come. Ah, anyway, let’s go over there!”

“It actually costs credit points? Then like when you came to my house last time, couldn’t you just use the public resource allocation service?”

“Hehe, that wouldn’t work!”

The supermarket’s automatic door sensed the incoming customers and opened to the left and right with a crisp musical sound.

“Ah! This music is said to also imitate the supermarkets on Earth!” Dream Butterfly explained excitedly while walking in front, but she didn’t forget to answer the evening star’s question, turning her head back, making her floating braids come to a sudden stop, “Hmm, last time when I stayed at your house, we had a very sumptuous meal, so this time when you agreed to stay at my house, my mom said she wanted to treat you well, just right, I also wanted to come and take a look, I’ve accumulated quite a few credit points by participating in school practice activities in the past two semesters.”

Hearing Dream Butterfly’s words, the evening star smiled slightly.

“Oh? Are you trying to sign up for that observation station field trip to earn credit points?”

“Of course not!”

“Hmm, indeed, I can’t say for the others in the class, but you are unlikely to.”

“What? You’re teasing me again!”

Dream Butterfly said this and continued to walk ahead.

“Because you look so cute. Huh, why isn’t there an anthropomorphic to greet us?”

“Hehehe! You don’t know this, do you?”

Dream Butterfly said, tapping a couple of times on her personal terminal screen, and then a small cart carrying a small box slowly drove out from the hole opened in the wall to the right of the two.

Looking around, many people in the entrance hall were calling out similar small carts from the walls.

“There are no anthropomorphic waiters to greet us, the goods are placed on the shelves for self-service.”

The two continued to walk into the store, and the small cart moved along with their walking speed to the front of them.

“Self-service on the shelves? So all the goods are not produced on-site, but rather placed here after being produced?”

Walking into a wider area from the entrance hall, this should be the main part of the huge building, with huge cabinets extending to the ceiling arranged in several directions as far as the eye could see, bustling crowds and various sizes of framed unmanned vehicles passing through.

“Yes, that’s why such a large store is needed, it’s quite spectacular. Oh right, this little cart in front is used to hold the selected items.”

Walking among them felt like walking in a jungle made of these metal shelves, reminding the evening star of the towering trees she saw when visiting the ecological sector far from the city during her elementary school days.

Although this place didn’t have small maintenance drones flying around like in the ecological sector, countless mechanical arms were running on the tracks of the metal support columns and beams, seemingly to help customers select goods from the higher shelves.

While the evening star was watching this busy scene with great interest, Dream Butterfly continued to tap on her personal terminal.

“Evening star, come this way, I’ve synced the route to the shopping cart, let’s first buy the necessary items.”

The cart, referred to as the shopping cart by Dream Butterfly, seemed to respond to her, immediately projecting part of the supermarket’s map and real-time navigation route in front of the two.

So this little cart is called a shopping cart, the evening star thought while following Dream Butterfly behind the shopping cart, walking towards another shelf area.

“By the way, there are really quite a few people here, I didn’t expect you to have so many peers.”

The bustling crowd and vehicle flow constantly swept past the two.

“Hmm, the nostalgic faction in New Osaka is the largest among the six node cities, so this New Osaka Earth supermarket was built here.”

As she spoke, a sense of pride involuntarily filled her face.

“Moreover, the products here are not produced by public nano-printing factories, but rather by suburban automated factories and agricultural factories in the ecological sector. For example… this beef!”

A mechanical arm used for transportation stopped right in front of Dream Butterfly, delivering a tray with a box of bright red beef on it. Dream Butterfly took it off, showed it to the evening star, and then placed it in the shopping cart.

“Oh, it seems I’ve seen many buildings and gathering points that look like agricultural factories in the eastern suburbs.”

“Yes, those are the production facilities under TONO supermarket. This meat is not printed muscle fiber tissue, but rather cut from real cows bred using IPS cell technology after slaughtering.”

As Dream Butterfly continued to take several ingredients from the tray delivered by the mechanical arm, the evening star watched and continued speaking.

“Hmm? Are you buying so much? This is flour? There are so many types.”

“Flour comes in high, medium, and low gluten, and different types of flour are needed to make different types of pastries.”

“Low gluten flour? What is it used for?”

“Low gluten is mainly used for sweet…” Dream Butterfly suddenly stopped halfway, cleared her throat, “Ahem, this is for my mom, I’m not sure what she wants to make.”

The evening star glanced at Dream Butterfly, whose tone had become noticeably unnatural, but she didn’t plan to continue asking and instead spoke up.

“Oh, is that so? Speaking of which, my mom received some of this beef as a year-end benefit one year, and I remember after eating it, it felt similar to the printed meat in the school meal.”

“But it’s basically no different from a real live cow on a molecular level, it’s almost the same taste as on Earth.”

“But on a molecular level, there shouldn’t be much difference, how much difference can the taste have? Oh, real beef muscle tissue would have blood vessels, fascia, fat, and so on distributed, so the texture might be…”

“Hmph, Evening Star, you really don’t understand what romance is!”

Seemingly displeased by the evening star’s statement, Dream Butterfly threw down a sentence and quickly walked ahead.

“The ingredients are ready, I want to go browse the daily necessities shelf!”

Following the shopping cart, they passed through several shelves that required looking up to see the top, and the evening star arrived at a lower and sparser shelf area. Looking around, the shelves were filled with various items that Evening Star had only seen in history textbooks: electric toothbrushes, round flat old-style vacuum robots, washing machines, refrigerators, and various knitted items…

However, when the evening star saw the required credit points displayed on the shopping cart’s projection interface, she instinctively exclaimed.

“These antique things are so expensive!?”

Dream Butterfly had just taken out a piece of clothing from the nearby shelf and was trying it on when she saw her friend walking over slowly and hurriedly put the item back.

“Ah, so you’re here, what are you looking at?”

“Nothing, just browsing.”

The evening star glanced sideways, and a mechanical arm was organizing clothing textiles that had been taken out and put back.

“Oh, these are ancient clothes.”

“Hmm… I wanted to come see the knitted pajamas here, but they’re all so expensive,”

the shopping cart that had just arrived next to Dream Butterfly projected the nearby shelf information right in front of the evening star, and the dazzling list of products made her feel a bit dizzy.

“Uh, this price is already beyond the outrageous range…”

“After all, these indoor clothes are sewn with wool stitch by stitch, although they are machine-sewn. There are handmade ones on the front shelf, and those are even more expensive.”

“Is this the pajama you just took out and tried on?”

The evening star tapped twice on the projection screen above the shopping cart, and then a mechanical arm brought a loose dress with a white base printed with a bowl of curry noodles in front of her.

“This one looks pretty good, I feel like it suits you, buy it.”

“Hmm?”

The Dream Butterfly in front responded and turned back to look.

“Ah… yes, this one. But it’s too expensive…”

Then she quickly turned her slightly blushing face back, speaking rapidly.

The evening star glanced at the shy girl beside her, who was just about to say something but was distracted by the chef's superb cooking skills.

“So you really want to buy it, huh? And you’re not a student who can easily afford this amount.”

The evening star smiled slightly, and the two continued to walk through the store.

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”

“Well, I’m not saying I can’t afford it, but I’m just saying it’s a bit too much for a student.”
