Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 51 Dinner
Good job!
"Hehe," Eve urged Klein, pushing his back. "Let's go. If we delay any longer, the sun will be out soon."

Klein let Eve push him, and the two of them walked around the dock and the market and bought some seafood and vegetables to take back.

"Alright," Eve pulled Klein into a deserted alley, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Let's go back."

Klein saw the "oil painting world" once again. After the world returned to normal, they had returned to Eve's house. Klein placed the bag on the table, turned on the gas light, found a basin in the kitchen, and put the fish in it.

"This one," Eve said, pointing to a black fish. "This one looks more normal."

You know it's not normal.

Klein complained in his mind, feeling a surge of sympathy, "Do you really want to give it to Ruirui?"

"You can also give it to Mingrui." Eve replied immediately.

"Then let's go with Ruirui." Klein immediately changed his tone. Sorry, Ruirui, I'd rather die than let my friend die.

"Don't worry," Eve waved her hand nonchalantly. "How could I really let you eat anything you want? I've already divined it, and it's harmless. At most, it might be a little difficult to accept psychologically or in terms of taste."

"Hmm..." Eve pointed her index finger at her chin and tilted her head slightly. "If you eat it raw or boil it in water, the taste shouldn't be strange. It's just an ordinary fruity flavor... Wait, I suddenly thought of a question."

Eve had a stern face and serious eyes. She murmured in a serious tone as if she was discussing an academic issue, "Is the blood of this fish juice?"

Klein blushed. "If you want, I can pour you a glass while I'm killing the fish later."

"Okay." Eve nodded.

"I was just saying that," Klein said immediately, "You're not going to give it to Ruirui again, are you?"

"Yeah." Eve put her hands on her hips and said as a matter of course, "Rui Rui is a vampire cat, so it's a good opportunity to change her taste."

Klein was speechless for a moment.

Eve stuffed the other fish into the mirror world to prevent Rarity from finding them. She patted Klein on the shoulder and said, "Do your best. Don't put chili in the fish. Rarity can't handle spicy food."

Klein took off his coat, put on Eve's white lace cat-head apron, rolled up his sleeves and began to work in the kitchen while Eve returned to the living room.

He first cooked rice and ate bread for a few days, but he still missed rice very much.

After the rice was steamed, Klein looked at the fish in the basin and thought for two seconds.

Let's just boil the fish. The normal way to prepare fruit fish is like cooking fish the same way you would cook fruit. Klein couldn't imagine the taste. He picked up a knife and was about to start when Eve suddenly appeared outside the door.

Klein paused, still holding the knife as he stared at Him.

Eve glanced at Klein, chuckled twice, and then retreated.

Klein looked outside the door, then at the fish in the basin. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to continue making the boiled fish.

He took out a glass from the cupboard to use as a container for the blood. After cleaning the scales and internal organs, he put them directly into the pot and boiled them in water.

Not knowing how long the fish would take to cook, Klein calculated the time based on that of ordinary fish. The fish was smaller, so he cooked it over low heat. After about fifteen minutes, Klein placed the fish on a plate.

He picked up the plate and smelled it. The strong fishy smell was mixed with a hint of fruity fragrance. If it were a human, it would definitely be unbearable, but Ruirui was a cat.

Klein walked into the living room carrying a plate and saw Eve sitting at the dining table holding a rag doll.

Under the light, Eve held the needle and thread in one hand, sewing the doll again and again, and she looked somewhat kind and gentle.

He placed the fish on the table and took a closer look. The doll was very crude, a rough humanoid figure with two eyes, one large and one small. The shape was also irregular, but it was clear that He was trying to sew the eyes into circles. The doll had no eyebrows, and the part Eve was sewing on seemed to be a mouth.

After glancing at the misaligned eyes, Klein mentally added, "It could also be the nose that's positioned too low." Klein averted his gaze, pretending not to notice, and silently returned to the kitchen.

They didn't buy many vegetables, and Klein didn't know many dishes either. After making a few home-cooked dishes, Klein took off his apron and put it back.

"Is it ready?" Eve looked up at Klein, who was taking off his apron, and threw the doll back into the mirror world. "I'll go get Ruirui."

As soon as she finished speaking, Eve disappeared from the room.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

In less than a minute, Eve appeared in the room holding Rarity.

"It's time for dinner," Eve put Ruirui on the dining table, rubbed her little head, and pushed the fruit fish in front of her. "Come and try your brother's cooking."

"Why is it so bland?" Ruirui said this, but still bent down to take a bite. Her round cat eyes widened instantly, "This fish..."

"Surprised? Unexpected?" Eve asked with a smile. "There's also fruit-flavored blood. Do you want to try it?"

"I think I'd be better off just drinking the juice," Rarity commented seriously. "It tastes just average, more fishy than fruity."

"Your reaction is so dull," Eve said with a disappointed look, tilting her head. "I should have done it myself."

Ruirui rolled her eyes at Eve and said to Klein, "Thank you."

Klein chuckled and said, "You're welcome."

Eve glanced at Klein, then at Ruirui, sat up straight, and said, "Eat, eat."

Klein picked up his chopsticks. Although he had already eaten dinner, he could still eat something after being busy for so long.

Moreover, faced with the fruits of his labor and the Chinese food he hadn't eaten for a long time, he had to try it even if he couldn't finish it.

After dinner, Eve was in charge of washing the dishes. Klein helped her clean up the dishes and asked, "Where did you buy these chopsticks?"

Klein looked at the polished wooden chopsticks. They didn't seem like they were made by Eve.

"Intis," Eve glanced at Klein and added with a smile, "During the Roselle period."

Klein's hand holding the chopsticks trembled. He had just eaten with an antique that was over a hundred years old!
This is probably the most extravagant time in my life, Klein thought silently.

and many more!

Klein looked at the chairs, tables, and vases beside him...

I didn't dare move. What if I broke some antique? I couldn't afford the compensation even if I sold it.

Eve chuckled. "I'm kidding. I had someone make this a year ago. We're the only ones in this house that can be called antiques."

Eve pointed to herself and Rarity on the couch.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed.

"Let me take you home first," Eve put the dishes back on the sink and turned to Klein, saying, "You should rest too."

"Well, don't forget the Tarot Club tomorrow afternoon."
