In order to prove the authenticity of the dish, a madman named "Chihaya Aine" sacrificed a cabbage to prove his knife skills.
Her result can be seen from her action of sitting down at the dining table first after the dishes were served.
As for the fate of the cabbage...it can't be said to be in an orderly manner, but at least it can be said to have been killed to pieces.
In order not to waste food, Ritsu Narose picked up the remains of the cabbage and planned to make vegetable croquettes with carrots, potatoes and other vegetables to take back to Chihaya Aine.
"I was inspired by this. Chihaya-san, don't you think this would be great material for a novel?"
Back to the present, after writing down the key words in a notebook, Ritsu Narose picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of him and prepared to eat.
Tear open the egg roll covering the rice, wrap it around the jade-white rice and put it into your mouth. The moist and tender egg combines with the distinct grains of rice, allowing your tongue to directly experience the flavor.
There is no dogma like "don't talk while eating". As long as he is not playing with his mobile phone, he is happy to chat with others while enjoying his food.
"Novel? Is Naruse-kun writing a novel?" Chihaya Aine paused, then returned to normal. "That sounds amazing."
"It's not that exaggerated. I just record what I see every day and make some minor revisions." Naruse Ritsu smiled. "Perhaps 'diary' is a more appropriate description than a novel."
"If this is the case, I will... "
Picking up a piece of fish and putting it into her mouth, Chihaya Aine savored the flavor while blinking and looking at Naruse Ritsu, making people curious about what she was thinking at the moment.
As we chatted like this, the meal passed quickly.
After clearing the table, the two stood at the kitchen sink and washed the dishes.
While wiping the dinner plates, Naruse Ritsu said, "Come to think of it, I haven't thanked Chihaya-san yet."
"Eh? Why?"
"The manuscript paper that flew out yesterday, was sorted out by Chihaya-san for me and brought back, right?"
"Manuscript paper?"
What I said yesterday, wasn’t that a love letter?
Chihaya Aine's expression gradually shifted, but Naruse Ritsu's attention was completely focused on those stubborn stains, completely ignoring the subtle changes in the girl beside her.
"Even though it's an unedited draft, it would still be quite troublesome if I lost it. It's only right that I say thank you to Chihaya-san."
"Don't be so polite..."
——I totally misunderstood.
Chihaya Aine laughed dryly in her heart, wishing she could go back to yesterday and ask herself why she was so entangled like an idiot.
After struggling with herself in her heart for a long time, Chihaya Aine finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked aloud, "Um, can I read Naruse-kun's novel?"
"sure."
After drying and putting away the dishes, Ritsu Naruse and Aine Chihaya returned to the living room.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get it upstairs."
However, just as he took a step, Chihaya Aine's voice came from behind him: "Can I go up and take a look?"
Looking back at that flawless smile, Ritsu Narose felt something was amiss. But unable to pinpoint what was wrong, he nodded and agreed to the request.
Anyway, there is nothing shameful to see upstairs.
He never cared.
"The innermost room is the storage room, and across from it is my bedroom." Leading Chihaya Aine to the second floor, Naruse Ritsu introduced, "As for the study, it's the door in the middle."
After opening the door, Chihaya Aine followed Naruse Ritsu in. The first thing she saw was the window where the manuscript flew out yesterday.
My mood suddenly became a little complicated.
The study room wasn't big, but compared to the chaotic scene Chihaya Aine had imagined with manuscripts scattered all over the floor, it was undoubtedly much tidier.
Tools such as laptops and printers occupy the left side of the desk and the low cabinet next to the desk; black, blue and red ballpoint pens and neatly stacked papers form an alliance, occupying the center area of the desk; the remaining space is filled with water cups and boxes of instant drinks.
There are a lot of things, but it doesn't feel cluttered.
"Let's take a look at this first. I got the inspiration for this from Chihaya-san yesterday."
There was no trace of guilt or uneasiness on Naruse Ritsu's face. He picked up a stack of bound manuscript paper from the desk and handed it to Chihaya Aine without hesitation.
As for the person he was interviewing, he was still standing there in a daze, looking at him - and the manuscript in his hand - with a rather surprised expression.
13. Roma Aine
In fact, Chihaya Aine not only did not feel any disgust towards Naruse Ritsu's behavior, but she felt delighted instead.
Since I can become his "inspiration", it proves that I exude super strong charm without knowing it.
As a beautiful girl with impeccable personality and appearance, this kind of situation is probably only natural.
As a result, Chihaya Aine's charm has increased! Popularity has increased!
With a grin on her face, she held the manuscript in front of her, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
Well~ Let's see how Naruse-kun writes~
Sitting at the desk, Chihaya Aine quickly immersed herself in the world depicted by the words...
……
I was reborn, on the day I decided to escape back to my hometown.
In my previous life, I studied abroad in London and entered a prestigious university, but was forced to leave under various pressures. This not only caused me to fail, but also left me with an indelible black mark on my history.
When I woke up, I was already back to the day before I booked my flight. If I could live again, I would dominate London and take back everything that was mine!
"?"
Chihaya Aine blinked, feeling something was wrong. She turned to look at Naruse Ritsu, only to find him sitting on another folding stool, leisurely reading a novel.
How did he know that I was studying in London?
Chihaya Aine's fingers tightened slightly around the manuscript, and she felt like she was just one step away from breaking out in a sweat. Unable to ignore this, she ultimately chose to ask Naruse Ritsu.
"Aunt Chihaya mentioned this to me when we were chatting."
Say less and make fewer mistakes. Looking back on past memories, Ritsu Narose decided to hide Aunt Chihaya's words about "other people's children" to avoid making the person involved feel unhappy.
But when she learned that the real culprit who leaked her dark history was actually her own mother, the energy that Chihaya Aine had just gathered quickly disappeared without a trace.
Let’s continue reading…
[After rebirth, greet me with one thousand percent enthusiasm!]
[However, after I finished greeting him, my roommate, who I had been living with day and night, looked at me with a strange expression, but still nodded politely and responded:]
【“Ciao~”】
[Not "Hello~", but "Ciao~"? ]
[Just as I was wondering, a weather forecast message suddenly popped up on my phone screen——]
[Current temperature in Rome: 15℃, light rain]
[It was then that I realized that the world after my rebirth had shifted slightly.]
This is not small at all! ?
Jumping from London to Rome, the difference is huge!
After reading this, Chihaya Aine finally understood what Naruse Ritsu meant by "add a little modification".
[But it doesn’t matter, because I’m not the same person I used to be! ]
After an old woman named "Enya" read my fortune on the street, the ability called "Stand" gradually emerged in me.
I remembered her prophecy—she claimed that at the age of 16, I would soon come into contact with the "LUCKIN" gang that dominated the Italian underworld, and reach heaven through the trials of blood and fire.
"?"
Chihaya Aine turned back to the previous page and after repeatedly confirming that she was not the one who skipped the page, she had to accept the reality that the story style had suddenly changed.
As she continued reading, she watched her counterpart in different time and space continue to experience many events such as daily campus life, time travel, and dimensional wars.
Apart from the content at the beginning, the subsequent plot is only filled with content such as plot summary.
"Because it's a rough draft, I can let myself go a little bit."
Hearing some noise coming from the desk, Ritsu Narose closed the book "The Count of Monte Cristo" in his hand and turned his attention to Chihaya Aine.
When Chihaya Aine saw the ending in which she became the overlord who commanded the four dimensions, she silently covered her face and tried to quickly calm the turbulent emotions in her heart.
It was interesting, but this kind of story was too free for her.
Although Chihaya Aine only met Ritsu Naruse today, she already knew something about this person.
Gentle and considerate, and will pay attention to other people's thoughts.
Ritsu Naruse should know that this novel inspired by "Chihaya Aine" is unlikely to suit her taste - how could a JK like her be interested in a story with this style of painting!
And this was clearly inspired by her, right? Why would it be connected to something so strange?
"Why did Naruse-kun let me read this novel? There are other novels you could read, why did you let me read this?"
"Well, there are many reasons." Ritsu Narose, who was sitting on a folding stool, changed his posture and then explained.
"When I was talking to Aunt Chihaya today, she asked me if I could help you relax because Chihaya-san seems to be in a bad mood these past few days."
"Ugh... Mom is doing unnecessary things again."
Despite this, Chihaya Aine's face didn't show any annoyance. She only showed shyness to show her family's concern in front of outsiders.
"But Naruse-kun, are you sure I'll feel good seeing this..."
"You even have the energy to complain, so you should be in a good mood, right?"
"Uh……"
"As for the other reasons, it's because I consider Chihaya-san the heroine."
heroine?
Chihaya Aine's expression suddenly wavered inexplicably.
"Chihaya-san, what do you think is the most important thing for a 'heroine'?" After getting off the folding stool, Naruse Ritsu put the novel in his hand back on the bookshelf and asked her.
"The most important thing... is popularity, right? If the heroine's popularity is not even as high as that of the supporting characters, that would be too pitiful."
I imagined it, and just putting myself in that situation gives me chills. If she doesn't even win the popularity vote against the team's mascot, her career as a heroine is probably going to be bleak!
"Popularity? That's not wrong." Ritsu Narose touched his chin and did not comment on Chihaya Aion's opinion. Instead, he refocused the topic on Chihaya Aion.
"Chihaya-san, do you know why I identified you as the heroine?"
"Of course I don't know..."
A pink flush appeared at the base of her ears. Chihaya Aine pursed her lips, trying hard not to meet Naruse Ritsu's gaze.
Is this a confession? This must be the rhythm of a confession, right?
what to do? what to do? what to do?
Confessing to me after just one day? Isn't that too frivolous? Wouldn't it be better to reject him first? But rejecting him would easily embarrass both of us! Besides, Naruse-kun is a very good person. Should I hint at giving up first?
Without the ability to read minds, Ritsu Narose cannot see through the girl's rich and changeable heart, but he has decided to be honest with Chihaya Aine.
If yesterday's fleeting glimpse gave him this idea, then today's communication made him completely determined.
Taking out his notebook and turning to the pages about Chihaya Aine, Ritsu Narose read as he read:
"First of all, it's hard work. Chihaya-san is willing to go to a distant foreign country to further her education. This is a remarkable decision."
"It's not that exaggerated..."
【Chihaya Aine·Imbalance Value 15%】
"Secondly, he's good at socializing and very thoughtful. When he communicates with people, he shines like the sun."
"Well~ this isn't a big deal, hehe~"
【Chihaya Aine·Imbalance Value 40%】
"She's kindhearted and innocent. Even if she thinks I'm a weirdo, she'll still help me pick up scattered manuscripts. Even if my knife skills are terrible, she'll still offer to help me."
"Hmm... I don't think Naruse-kun is weird. And the cabbage incident isn't over yet? I'm going to get mad, okay?"
