"...Ah...No, it's okay...I'm actually very hungry too..."
"By the way, that... woman sleeping in the room, is she your master?" Zhenyi pointed to the living room with one hand, while stirring the spoon with the other.
Shinagawa was stunned by this set of actions. It took him a while to react before he replied, "Ah... yes! Yes, she is my master... Didn't my master cause you any trouble?"
Shinichi shook his head: "No, that woman didn't even look at me, she was sleeping the whole time, and she even thought I was you and asked me to cook for her."
Shinagawa's eyes widened, and he quickly said, "Hey! That, Shinichi-kun, don't worry about it! Master is always not sober after drinking! You don't have to take what she says to heart! And you don't have to really cook for her! In fact, I can do it..."
Shinichi waved his hand and responded, "No, I didn't take it to heart. The words of a drunkard are not worth making me angry. As for the fact that I cooked, it was only because I was indeed a little hungry."
As he spoke, Zhenyi saw that the food was almost cooked, so he put the food in the pot onto a plate.
Afterwards, Shinichi brought all the dishes prepared in the kitchen to the stone table in the atrium. Shinagawa took a look and found that except for a pot of radish soup, the other dishes were ones he had never seen before.
"these are……"
"Ah, white radish soup, three fresh vegetables, vegetarian eggplant, stir-fried cabbage, spicy and sour potato shreds... I saw so many things piled up in the corner, so I picked some to cook. Um... I couldn't find any meat, so all the dishes were vegetarian. Do you mind?"
"No, no, no! I don't mind at all! I didn't even...know these dishes can be made like this..."
Shinagawa Rei looked at the delicious vegetarian feast on the table. They were all dishes she had never eaten before, and each one looked delicious...
If she had known that those things in the corner could do this, would she have always worn a mask of pain in front of them?
Shinichi looked at Shinagawa who couldn't take his eyes away and chuckled, "It's not difficult. If you want to learn it in the future, I can teach you."
"real!?"
"Of course it's true. You teach me ancient martial arts, and I teach you cooking. It makes sense."
"Snapped!"
As the two were talking, the door of the residence was suddenly opened, and the woman in kimono came out barefoot, holding the door frame with one hand. She reached into her kimono with the other hand, scratching here and there, smacking her lips and asking, "Ah... It smells so good... Is it time for dinner?"
Chapter 54: Shinagawa Ryoko
“Sniff…sniff…”
The woman in kimono smelled the fragrance of the food on the table and couldn't help but suck in her saliva. Her stomach growled... It smelled so good... Ali's cooking skills have improved to this extent... It's incredible.
However, in front of outsiders, the woman in kimono was still a little reserved. She wiped the corner of her mouth and asked Shinichi, "Are you the person that Ali recommended to me to teach ancient martial arts?"
"Ah, yes."
Shin nodded and looked at the kimono-clad woman in front of him.
The woman's facial features are very distinctive, with a straight and three-dimensional nose, a slender face, and a wide chin, which makes her look very heroic. The kimono she wears is not a brightly colored women's kimono with narrow legs, but a plain men's kimono with a wide hem.
Not only is her kimono a men's one, but her behavior is also not as gentle and elegant as that of a traditional Japanese woman. Instead, she is as carefree as a man.
Because she had just woken up, her eyes were full of fatigue and her hair was messy, but this did not affect the woman's temperament. Or rather, this decadent and sloppy look was a true portrayal of this woman's temperament.
How should I put it...Shinichi suddenly felt a little bit unconfident.
Shinagawa Rei is a reliable girl, but her master doesn't look serious at all...
The woman smacked her lips and scratched her collarbone. She looked at Shinichi with her cloudy eyes, then shook her head and commented, "You can't do it. Your body is too weak. There is not much meat on your body, and..."
As she spoke, the woman approached Zhenyi and whispered, "You are so young and you don't know how to control yourself. It's obvious that you have indulged yourself too much. Learning our ancient martial arts requires persistence and restraint. Can you persist in being so indulgent?"
"Forehead……"
Shinichi's expression suddenly became awkward. It's not the eldest sister... How can you even see this? And... My weak body is not because of my indulgence! It's because there is a juicer at home who starts to toss and turn when she can't sleep. What can I do!
"Shinichi-kun, Master, it's time to eat."
Shinagawa Rei came out of the kitchen carrying three bowls of rice, interrupting the conversation between Shinichi and the woman. The three of them gathered at the dining table, said "I'm ready", and started eating.
The woman had obviously never seen so many fresh dishes. She picked up a bite here and tasted a small bite there. She felt that this one was delicious and that one went well with rice. She ate like a wolf.
Shinagawa Rei looked at her master awkwardly, she had no image at all, and introduced her to Shinichi with a wry smile: "Um... Shinichi, this is my master Shinagawa Ryoko. Don't be fooled by her unkempt appearance, she is actually very capable!"
However, Ryoko obviously didn't care about the praise from her apprentice. She took a bite of rice and said directly: "Wuwu...Okay, Ali, your friend...ahwu...I don't want to teach..."
"Hey! Master! Didn't you say that before?!"
“Ah… You didn’t tell me that the person you recommended was such a weakling… Can this kid survive our Oni Martial Arts training? Let him go back to where he came from…”
"Master! It's not what you think. In fact, Shinichi-kun is super strong!"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."
This sentence made Ryoko laugh so hard that the food in her mouth spat out and she choked. After coughing a few times, she looked at Shinichi again and shook her head: "What's so strong about him? Why can't I see it?"
"Master, although Shinichi-kun's body is not very strong, but..."
Without waiting for Shinagawa to explain, Ryoko interrupted directly: "The fact that your body is not strong enough is enough to pass. No need to say anything, Ali, let's eat first. Hey, don't mention it, your cooking skills have improved a lot recently. Did you learn from someone? This dish is really delicious."
Ryoko didn't want to continue arguing with her apprentice, she just wanted to turn into a foodie and eat!
Shinagawa Rei sighed helplessly and explained: "Master, how could I have such cooking skills? This meal was not made by me..."
"You didn't do it?"
Ryoko was stunned for a moment. There were only three people at the scene. She couldn't cook. Ali didn't cook, so the person who cooked could only be... Her eyes were focused on Shinichi.
Shinichi, who had been silent the whole time, nodded calmly, acknowledging Ryoko's guess: "Yeah, I did it."
Hearing this, Ryoko couldn't help but stop eating, stared at Shinichi blankly for a few seconds, wiped her mouth and licked the rice particles around her mouth, then sat up straight in front of Shinichi and said, "Although your physical fitness is slightly insufficient for practicing ghost fighting.
However, these external conditions can be compensated for later, and are not necessary conditions for practicing our Onimushu. As long as you have a firm will, a strong mind, and endure what ordinary people cannot endure, you will have the opportunity to learn our Yoshino Shrine's Onimushu!
I think that you, Shinichi-kun, have an indescribable temperament and a heart as strong as steel. You are a rare genius among those practicing Onimushi! We at Yoshino Shrine have always been tolerant of geniuses, so we welcome Shinichi-kun to join Yoshino Shrine!"
Shinichi couldn't help but twitch his lips, and he started to complain: "...Big sister, that's not what you just said."
Ryoko was not at all nervous and spoke directly: "That was a test for you, Shinichi-kun. Facing my rejection and criticism, you remained unmoved, as still as a mountain, and remained calm and composed. I am very pleased with your character. Shinichi-kun, you have passed my test."
Wow, that makes so much sense, I almost believed it.
Shinakawa Rei standing by suddenly understood, and began to associate ideas unconsciously. She then said that she understood everything: "Oh! I see! Was all this a test from you, Master? Oh! Including when you asked Shinichi to cook before, that was also a test! Fortunately, Shinichi really did it."
This made Ryoko stunned. Huh? Before? What before? Did I ask this guy to cook? Wait...hiss...I woke up last time...I think I did ask Ali to cook because I felt a little hungry...
Ah, no, I didn't open my eyes at the time, and didn't notice who was coming...
Thinking of this, Ryoko looked at the table full of food with a guilty conscience, and Shinichi who was staring at her expressionlessly. The embarrassment in her heart soared to the sky, and her toes were already scratching the floor tiles awkwardly!
"Ahem! Ali, stop talking. Tonight, you and I will share a bed. Your room will be given to Shinichi-kun. From today on, Shinichi-kun is a member of our Yoshino Shrine."
Shinichi immediately waved his hand to refuse Ryoko's invitation: "No, I'm not interested in joining Yoshino Shrine, I just want to learn some ancient martial arts. Miss Ryoko, you like the food I cook, right? Then let's trade. I'll cook for you for one day if you teach me for one day.
But to prevent you from maliciously delaying the time, if I don’t feel myself improving at the end of the day’s practice, then I won’t cook.”
"..." Shinichi's blunt remark made Ryoko look a little embarrassed. She muttered with a decadent look in her eyes: "Brother, you are so straightforward that girls won't like you. Don't treat everything as a transaction. Maybe if you stay for a few days, you will like the quiet life in our Yoshino Shrine~"
"I have a girlfriend, and my house is pretty big, so I live very well."
"..."
Explosive killing!
Ryoko was speechless for a moment, but she was not angry at all because of Shinichi's offense. His suggestion was not bad anyway. This kid's weak body could be significantly improved by just practicing. It was obviously a good deal to get a chef for free so easily.
But it’s not that easy to agree: “Okay, then I also have a request. I want to eat something different every day. If I find that the meal is not rich or delicious enough, I can choose not to teach you the next day.”
That's it? This request was no different to Shinichi. He nodded and said, "No problem, deal. Happy cooperation."
After saying that, Shinichi took a few bites and stood up to leave the shrine.
"Eh!? Shinichi-kun, you're leaving now!?" Shinakawa Rei quickly stood up to persuade him to stay, "You cooked so many dishes and you're only going to eat this little..."
Ryoko was also a little unhappy with Shinichi's attitude, and asked, "Don't you like our Yoshino Shrine? You just cook a meal and leave, and I haven't taught you anything yet."
Shinichi waved his hand, pointed to the time on his phone and explained, "No, it's just getting late. It's already past four o'clock and I have to rush back to make dinner for my sister. If I eat too much, I might not have room left to eat with Ai."
After saying that, Shinichi waved his hand and left the shrine, leaving behind a somewhat lost Shinagawa Rei and a thoughtful Ryoko.
Ryoko scratched her nose and asked Shinagawa, "Where did you make this friend?"
"Uh... I met her when I was working for Ms. Kiba..."
"Kiba? All of her subordinates are talented people. Why would she accept such an ordinary person?" Ryoko scratched her head and asked curiously.
In response, Shinagawa helplessly explained: "I was just about to say that, but you interrupted me, Master..."
Afterwards, Shinagawa explained to Ryoko in detail Shinichi's ability to transform into Ryuga.
As Shinagawa continued to narrate, Ryoko's expression gradually became serious: "Transform? Attach strange armor? Kamen Rider?"
"uh-huh."
"Hmm..." Ryoko pondered with a serious expression, as if she was thinking about something.
This made Shinagawa very curious: "What's wrong, Master?"
"Ah... It's nothing, I just feel a little weird... Well, forget it, let's eat first, this kid's cooking skills are really good..."
As the two continued to pick up their bowls and chopsticks to eat, Shinichi suddenly poked his head out of the shrine again and asked, "Um... can I ask a question?"
"Shinichi-kun?! You're back again?"
Shinichi grinned and nodded in response, "Ah, yes, I just wanted to ask if I could have some of the potatoes and eggplants in your kitchen? I can pay for them."
"Ah?" Shinagawa Rei was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and nodded, "Sure, sure! Shinichi-kun, you can take as much as you want! My master and I can't finish them all! By the way, there are fresher ones in the vegetable garden. Do you want to go with me to pick some?"
"Oh! That would be great! Thank you~"
"You're welcome, Shinichi-kun. We're worried that we won't be able to finish all the food."
As she spoke, Shinagawa Rei pulled Shinichi towards the vegetable garden behind the kitchen. Ryoko, who was eating dry rice, looked at Shinichi's back and muttered thoughtfully, "A warrior who can transform and fight... could it be the legendary sound warrior?"
Chapter 56: Kamen Rider Caesar, here we go!
It rained heavily at night, and thunder could be heard from afar from time to time. There were no customers due to the rain, so the coffee shop closed early, although it would not make any difference if it was open at other times.
Ai Yi leaned on the windowsill above the coffee shop and stretched out her hand to feel the coolness brought by the heavy rain. She was very curious about what it felt like to get caught in the rain on such a rainy day. She often saw the heroines walking freely in the rain in TV dramas, and she thought it was very interesting at that time.
But Ai Yi never dared to do it, because if she was really stubborn enough to go out in the rain, she would definitely have to stay in the hospital for a few days the next day. Naturally, Ai Yi didn't dare to do that.
But now, the source of my physical problem has been found and effectively contained. Does that mean that I can try things that I have never done before?
Just as Ai was daydreaming, Shinichi came out of the bathroom steaming, wiping his wet hair while reminding her: "Ai, take a shower and go to bed. You're going to a new school tomorrow, so don't stay up all night and be late for the first day of school."
Ai immediately came back to her senses: "Oh! Okay brother."
When Ai came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she was only wrapped in a towel. With a hint of shyness and anticipation, she quickly and lightly got into the quilt like a kitten, then kicked the towel out of the quilt with her little feet, and lay naked beside Shinichi.
Shinichi smiled helplessly, pointed at the towel on the ground and said, "Ah... the towel was kicked to the ground..."
Ai Yi didn't care at all: "Oh, I'll wash it tomorrow~ But brother...will you come tonight?"
Seeing Ai's excited look, Shinichi stretched out his hand and pinched Ai's cheek, and asked: "...Hiss, I'm a little curious, where did you learn so many postures? Why didn't I realize that my sister is such a little pervert before?"
"Ouch...don't pinch..."
"Then answer the question."
"Huh... Brother, you don't understand the kids nowadays at all. Even elementary school students know a lot of things they should and shouldn't know, not to mention that I'm already in high school!"
Well... you know what, it seems to be true. Not to mention a country like Japan that is very sexually open, even in China where I lived before my death, there are plenty of ways for children to get in touch with these things.
I didn't expect that such a well-protected sister would still inevitably be infected by pornography and become a two-faced old driver...
"So... brother, do you want your sister's help to solve the problem today~"
Shinichi rubbed Ai's face, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not possible during this period. I have to go to Yoshino Shrine to learn ancient martial arts tomorrow. According to the woman who taught me martial arts, I'd better restrain myself during this period..."
After hearing Shinichi's explanation, Ai hummed a little disappointedly: "Well... okay... Good night, brother."
She did not continue to toss and turn, but just lay quietly on Shinichi's body, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
"Good night to you too."
Shinichi also touched Ai's little head, and with his other hand he held her slender and smooth waist. He lay in a more comfortable position, turned off the bedside lamp, closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep...
"Bang!!!!"
Just as the two of them closed their eyes and their breathing gradually became steady, half asleep and half awake, a loud noise seemed to pull their consciousness directly back into their brains, waking them up.
"Woo... What the hell!?" Shinichi rubbed his sore head and sat up. The sound seemed to come from the coffee shop downstairs. He could still feel the slight vibration coming from below.
Ai Yi also propped herself up, leaned against the window and looked down with a puzzled look on her face. At this moment, the lights in the coffee shop that had just been turned off also lit up. She didn't know what had happened.
