In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

There's no such thing here.

"Commander, I remember you bought meat tenderizer before... Ah, is this it?"

Kluke pulled an opened bag from the upper cupboard; there was still quite a bit left inside.

"This one will do too."

The effect is the same anyway.

Then mince the ginger, add salt and oil, mix them together, and stir with the beef.

Let it sit for a while, then you can start peeling the corn.

Kluke picked up an ear of corn and, following Chen Yi's example, imitated him.

With the two of them working together, husking the corn didn't take long. In short, they got everything ready before seven o'clock, and all they had to do was wait for them to wake up.

"..."

So actually, waking up an hour earlier should be about right, right?

Chen Yi looked at the several bowls filled to the brim in the kitchen with some anticipation.

I haven't had rice noodle rolls for half a year, since the end of March. As someone who grew up drinking water from the Pearl River, the simple yet familiar taste is far better than any delicacy.

"Commander, you don't actually need to get up so early to make breakfast every day..."

"Eating is something to strive for, but for Kelukai, during the initial period after arriving in this world and not being able to adapt, my stomach suffered terribly..."

Chen Yi recalled that at that time, he seemed to have some loss of taste; he couldn't taste sweetness, and his other senses of taste had also become much weaker.

Judging that it was about time, Chen Yi turned on the gas valve and started boiling water.

"And wouldn't you like to try some local specialties from my hometown? The kind you've been eating since I was a child."

Chen Yi smiled and said.

"......Thanks."

Kroos blushed slightly and turned her head away.

Sometimes, she felt that the commander's charm was unbelievable.

"Good morning."

Hearing footsteps, Chen Yi didn't turn around, but instead stirred the rice milk that had settled a bit with his chopsticks.

"It will be ready soon, in about ten minutes."

The water has already boiled, and it will be steamed very quickly using the special steaming tray.

The two little ones at home... making three if you include the employees, watched Chen Yi's cooking with curiosity.

None of them had ever seen this before.

"What is this?" Mai Sakurajima pointed to the large bowl of white liquid, then looked at the ingredients such as corn and eggs next to it.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is likely a staple food.

"Porridge...soup?"

Rio Futaba couldn't understand why the rice batter was only spread evenly on the bottom of the square pan before the eggs were beaten and corn kernels were sprinkled on top.

"You'll find out soon enough. You guys go wash up first."

Chen Yi kept everyone in suspense.

......

"This is called... rice noodle roll?"

Rio Futaba gently poked at the finished product after Chen Yi drizzled soy sauce on it.

"Hmm, what a pity..."

Soy sauce that hasn't been cooked loses its authentic flavor.

Whatever, he doesn't know the recipe anyway.

Tears of blood flowed down.

"Commander has done very well. Just try to improve next time," Kluge comforted him.

Clearly, Chen Yi, with his exceptional drive, wouldn't just stop at a superficial level.

"Well, it's low-sodium soy sauce anyway, so the taste won't be too different."

Just add a little bit.

"...It's delicious!" Mai Sakurajima took a bite and immediately thought the taste and texture were quite good.

"I've never eaten this type of food before. What are the ingredients?" Kawasaki Saki picked up a piece, her eyes lighting up.

Rice milk.

Chen Yi explained.

This way of eating is still quite rare for native Japanese, and Chen Yishen's unfathomable culinary skills are deepening the three high school girls' stereotypes about people from Tokyo University.

Second-year high school student: Chapter 196 Sports Festival

Chapter 196

"Can we start preparing for the sports festival?"

Chen Yi was puzzled.

It's only been a week or two since school started, right? As for the original work... well, it doesn't seem to be of much reference value.

"Yes, specifically, it's about registering for sports events and the competition format between the red and white teams... Didn't Hiratsuka-sensei tell you?" Yukinoshita's attention was drawn away from Volume 4, "The Heartbeat Service Club," and she glanced at Chen Yi.

"Really not... right?" Chen Yi recalled that he was groggy in the morning due to lack of sleep.

Damn it, did I fall asleep during Jing's entire class? Did Jing give me any trouble?

“Commander, actually you were just spacing out and taking a nap at the time, and you had already completed the basic part of the course,” Kroos explained.

That's because Hiratsuka-sensei forgot.

"They didn't tell me," Chen Yi replied.

"To be specific, it's divided into two days. The first day is for individual competitions and fun events, and the second day is for team events. Normally, as long as you participate in one or two, the teacher won't bother you," Kasumigaoka explained.

“Yes, the sports festival is next week. This week is for registration and promotion,” Miko Yotsuya added.

"Registration and promotion?"

“Sports clubs will probably take this opportunity to promote themselves,” Mai Sakurajima explained.

I see...

"What kind of projects does that person have?" Chen Yi asked.

"Besides regular races, relays, obstacle courses... shooting is also quite popular."

"shooting?"

"Pistol shooting, with a fixed target 20 meters away. There's a small shooting range on campus, usually used by the shooting club. Then there's the most popular wargame segment. This project was spearheaded by the student council seven years ago. It wasn't part of the school's official sports festival and was held in the old teaching building area. But because it was so popular, it was officially recognized a couple of years ago."

I see...

"Then let's choose this one."

Let these high school students see what a real s1mple is.

“Speaking of which, last year’s shooting champion was Yukinoshita…” Yui Yuigahama suddenly exclaimed.

Chen Yi turned his gaze to Xue Xia.

"I think the score was above 85%, but I don't quite remember..." Yukinoshita noticed Chen Yi's gaze and turned her head slightly.

Chen Yi's skill level is better than hers... at least that's how I feel.

Because that guy can sometimes have a very sharp temperament, like a seasoned hunter.

"Under the snow, your championship is in danger." Chen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, his provocation quite obvious.

"...You are the challenger."

"Um... Xiaoxue, Kato signed up for the shooting event with the class sports representative today..."

Yui Yuigahama awkwardly laughs as she dismantles the stage beneath the snow.

"..."

Should I avoid her sharp edge? Yukinoshita was naturally unconvinced.

Chen Yi thought about it seriously. Kato Megumi's shooting skills were on par with his own. Without the help of the machine spirit to assist the ballistics, he might not be able to beat Kato Megumi.

A formidable rival...

"What kind of fun activities are there?" Chen Yi asked casually.

"For fun activities, there are ball-throwing games, three-legged races, and things like that..."

Kasumigaoka recalled for a moment and said.

"However, the fun events at the sports festival were a little different in the past two years, so you should ask Hiratsuka-sensei."

Fine.

"What about team projects?" Chen Yi wondered if there were any loopholes for slacking off in that area.

"For team events, the men's event is putting, and I think the women's event is horse riding. But the team events change every few years, so it's hard to say for sure."

"Besides these, there's the usual tug-of-war, jump rope... oh, and some physical competition, but that's none of our business."

"Club activity competitions are usually participated in by representatives of sports clubs, and they are often held together with recruitment promotions," Mai Sakurajima added, adding that she knew this.

"I see..." Chen Yi understood.

Okay, I'll try negotiating with Jing Ke'ai then, and try to get an opportunity to not participate in group activities.

The discussion in the office gradually quieted down. Yukinoshita closed her book and hesitated for a moment.

"How is Kawasaki-san's request...?" Yukinoshita asked.

"If you're talking about shooting assignments, that's over. If you're talking about work, I can only say I've tried my best to arrange things..."

As for the fundamental issues, such as a family member being sick... it doesn't seem to be a really urgent matter.

Chen Yi spoke privately with Kawasaki Saki, who said there was no need to borrow money because her family member's illness wasn't very serious, just difficult to treat.

It's simply a chronic disease, which can be a real problem for a family with limited financial resources.

"Kawasaki-san's request is over..."

Yukinoshita seemed to be reflecting on the fact that she had accomplished nothing.

“It’s okay, Yuki…” Yuihama tried to comfort her.

"Yuihama, don't try to comfort me. I know where my problem lies," Yukinoshita gently refused.

"I will be stronger next time."

What a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) Yukinoshita!

Chen Yi rudely muttered to himself, but he still sincerely hoped that Yukinoshita could indeed grow.

......

"A shooting competition..."

The shooting competition isn't the main point; the main point is the wargame.

The world has a strong culture of combat, so it's understandable that this kind of harmless military game is highly popular.

only......

"Would it be too much of a bully for the kids if I went down there?" Chen Yi complained.

The statistics show that only about 20%-30% of the citizens actually know how to use firearms. That translates to about a quarter of the entire school's population being capable of using weapons, plus any combat experience...

To put it bluntly, Chen Yi suspected that only the people in the Service Department actually had practical combat experience, because in most of the news reports about the attacks by the fake people he had looked up, there were very few survivors.

"So, Yi Jun isn't planning to participate in that wargame?"
