A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

Yukinoshita Yukino placed the tray on the coffee table and handed each person their respective drinks.

Uesugi Genshin's milk tea, black tea for herself, Hayasaka Ai, and Horikita Suzune, and hot cocoa for Eriri and Ichinose Honami.

"Thank you." Uesugi Genshin thanked him after taking it. After taking a sip, it was indeed milk tea, but the sweetness was a little off.

The amount of sugar should have been lethal, but Yukinoshita did not add it according to the standard dosage.

"We'll be eating soon, so it's better not to consume too much sugar." Seeing him slightly stunned, Yukinoshita Yukino said, holding her cup of black tea.

She thought that if she could eat more, she wouldn't have to rely on sugar alone to get energy.

"What are we having for dinner?" Uesugi Genshin asked while drinking his cup of milk tea and lying on the sofa.

"What do you want to eat?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino while sitting on the sofa.

"Is there still another choice?" asked Masumi Kamuro curiously.

"I just checked the refrigerator, and the things inside are basically still good." Yukinoshita Yukino took a sip of black tea, "You guys tell me first, I'll see if I can make it."

If the dish requires unpopular ingredients that cannot be replaced, or is extremely complicated, then it won’t work.

Hearing this, Kamuro Masumi didn't really want to eat anything, so she said, "I don't care."

"Me too." Horikita Suzune said the same thing, looking quite indifferent.

Ichinose Honami didn't rush to answer, but looked at Eriri, "Miss Eriri, is there anything you would like to eat?"

"...Omurice, I want to eat omurice." Eriri whispered what she wanted to eat.

"No problem." Yukinoshita Yukino smiled, and then she looked at Ichinose.

"I don't have anything in particular that I want to eat." Ichinose Honami shook her head. It was her personality to try not to cause trouble, but the nature of this dinner was for everyone to enjoy a big meal, but she really didn't have anything in particular that she wanted to eat.

When Yukinoshita's gaze shifted to her, Hayasaka Ai thought for a moment and said, "Well, as long as it tastes good, it's fine."

"Please rest assured about this."

Finally, he came to Uesugi Genshin and said, "I want dessert after dinner."

"Dessert..." Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment, "What exactly?"

"Yes, chocolate chiffon cake." Uesugi Genshin raised his hand like an elementary school student.

"Chocolate chiffon... I want to eat it too." Ichinose Honami said with a smile, clasping her hands together in joy. She had not thought about dessert just now, but after Uesugi-kun mentioned it, she also felt the desire to eat something sweet.

"We don't have chocolate at home, so can a regular chiffon cake be used?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked in embarrassment.

"Hmm." This dealt a critical blow to Uesugi Genshin. Without chocolate, he couldn't think of any other dessert he wanted to eat.

"How about fruit tart?" Yukinoshita Yukino thought about the canned strawberries in the refrigerator, so she asked.

"Then please make another ordinary egg tart." Uesugi Genshin raised his hand in a bad mood.

He doesn’t like sour desserts, especially those with various jams. The main reason is that the jams are too “cheap” and only the sour taste remains.

"Okay." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, and then she said her plan, "Let's have Sukiyaki for dinner, okay?"

"Okay~" "No problem~"

No one has an opinion.

"Also, I'll make some other side dishes." Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and said this.

"Then let me help." Uesugi Genshin also stood up.

"Ah, then I too..." Ichinose Honami also stood up.

Along with her is Horikita Suzune, who is very confident in her cooking skills.

"The kitchen is not big, two people can do it." Yukinoshita Yukino said, pointing to the only man present.

"You can go take a shower first." She looked at the sickly Eriri and smiled gently, "Let your body relax first."

All the girls present agreed.

"The rice is there, you can steam it first." Yukinoshita Yukino said to Uesugi Genshin, then turned around and left the living room with the others.

Horikita Suzune helped Eriri up and followed her towards the bathroom.

Then I found that the bathroom was not small, so we could take a shower together, although we couldn’t take a bath together.

It seemed that Eriri was the only one who needed to take a bath, so Ichinose Honami stayed to keep her company.

Uesugi Genshin went to the kitchen, a very clean home kitchen with two stoves, an oven, a dishwasher and everything else.

When Uesugi Genshin finished washing the rice, Yukinoshita, wearing a white hoodie, black casual pants and a ponytail, returned to the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Uesugi Genshin's gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino asked embarrassedly.

"Ah, you went to change your clothes."

"Yes." She took the apron and tied it up, and replied, "Ah, steam more rice, and the leftovers can be made into rice balls for tomorrow morning."

He followed suit, but Uesugi Genshin became curious, "Hey, does your house have a Japanese-style garden?"

"Yes, in my hometown." Yukinoshita Yukino was a little curious why he asked this.

"Who usually cooks then?"

"Most of the time it's my mother." Yukinoshita Yukino replied. Ah, this guy must be curious about how her family cooks.

“Is it like in the movies and TV shows?” That’s a bit too traditional.

"You're talking about wearing kimonos and cooking family meals in a big kitchen with wooden windows using modern kitchen utensils. That's exactly what happened, and my cooking skills were taught to me by my mother in the beginning."

"Kimono..." Uesugi Genshin pondered and looked at Yukinoshita.

"What's wrong with the kimono?"

"No, I was just imagining what you looked like in a kimono."

"Ha, if you're curious, I have a kimono here." Yukinoshita Yukino narrowed her eyes and shot a sharp look at Uesugi Genshin.

"No, I'm not curious." Uesugi Genshin shook his head insincerely.

"As for Sukiyaki, there's no konjac." Yukinoshita Yukino said to herself as she rummaged through the refrigerator.

"That's perfect." Uesugi Genshin raised the corners of his mouth happily.

"It's not good to be picky about food." Yukinoshita Yukino pointed her finger at him in a preaching tone.

"Don't worry." Uesugi Genshin waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If you made it, I would definitely eat it all."

"..." This made Yukinoshita Yukino lower her head, not knowing what to say. What exactly did he mean by this?

She had to speed up her work and changed the subject, saying, "There's some chicken and pork in the refrigerator."

"Ah, in addition to omelette rice, let's make fried chicken and fried pork cutlet." Uesugi Genshin suggested confidently.

The rice in the omelette rice is actually soy sauce chicken fried rice.

"It's a bit unhealthy to have all this fried meat." Yukinoshita Yukino disagreed with his idea.

"Then..." Uesugi Genshin looked up and down the refrigerator, "Stir-fried pork with bean sprouts? Stir-fried pork with onions? Stir-fried pork with scallions? Or braised pork with ginger? No, forget about braised pork with ginger."

I've been eating this canned food almost every day for the past month, and now I'm a little tired of it. I want to try something different.

"What do you think of twice-cooked pork?" He turned around and asked Yukinoshita.

Chinese food? Yukinoshita Yukino smiled happily, "It's good."

When frying the steamed rice, Uesugi Genshin sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that the pan is flat, otherwise it would have flipped over."

By the way, if you add a little oil to the cooled dry rice, the rice grains will be distinct when fried.

"A frying pan will work too." Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him and said.

"No, you said it's okay to toss steak or something, but forget about fried rice." It will spill if you're not careful, Uesugi Genshin said embarrassedly.

"It won't spill." Yukinoshita Yukino reached out and took the pot from his hand, shook it gently, the rice floated in the air, and then fell neatly into the pot.

"Awesome." Uesugi Genshin clapped his hands and said.

"Isn't this basic skill?" After receiving the praise, Yukinoshita Yukino said in a good mood while pinching her hair.

"Indeed, that's why he's so good." He never practiced the basic skills. He just learned cooking as he went along, including knife skills, which he gradually became familiar with during the process of cooking. But Yukinoshita was different in this regard.

Along the way, the two of them started doing other things.

"In addition to the egg tarts, let's make some muffins." Yukinoshita Yukino said to Uesugi Genshin while carrying the ingredients everywhere.

"Sure." Uesugi Genshin nodded in agreement, with an expectant look on his face.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll make some Chinese desserts. Do you like fried spring rolls? They're filled with red bean paste."

"Sure, we have red beans at home too." Yukinoshita Yukino said, handing over the red beans from the cupboard.

Uesugi Genshin immediately started to boil the red bean paste, "Sugar."

Yukinoshita Yukino handed over the candy, "What kind of dough do you want to use for the spring roll wrappers? I plan to make some toast for tomorrow morning."

"Ah, that also requires a kitchen machine."

As they talked, both of them began to speed up.

There's no way. The more we discuss, the more we have to do.

"Pass the salt, please."

"Give."

"The cake is ready."

"Then please take it out and let it cool down. I have already prepared the egg tarts and can put them in to bake later."

"I need to use the stove."

"Okay, I'll move. Do you want another serving of Chikuzen-ni?"

"..."

The two people in the kitchen were working in perfect harmony while cooking their respective dishes and helping each other.

In the end, it only took me two hours to finish the dinner, and when I looked at the clock, it was already 9 o'clock.

Hayasaka, Horikita, Ichinose and the others had already finished their baths, and the clothes they were wearing were found by Yukinoshita.

As for Ichinose Honami, there was no suitable clothes, so Yukinoshita Yukino had to find her yukata. There was no problem with the size because it was mainly tightened by the belt, and it could be loosened a little at most.

The black-bottomed white crane yukata looks very beautiful and elegant on Ichinose. I guess Genshin Uesugi would prefer a pink yukata if Ichinose chose it herself.

During this time, Hayasaka Ai curled her lips as she looked at the tacit understanding between the two people in the kitchen. The two of them looked just like a newlywed, loving couple.

Chapter 299: Alternative Absolute Domain

"Okay, let's eat." Uesugi Genshin placed the Sukiyaki pot in the center of the coffee table.

There is no so-called restaurant in Yukinoshita's apartment, probably because she lives there alone.

There is no need for a dining table that can accommodate a family of people to eat.

According to her, she always ate her meals sitting directly on the carpet or on the coffee table.

So today we all had dinner together around the coffee table.

"Uesugi-kun, would you like to drink?"

Uesugi Genshin looked over and saw Yukinoshita standing in front of the refrigerator, taking out a bottle of wine. The bottle looked thicker and shorter than ordinary bottles, so it was either sake or sparkling wine.

"Do you have any wine here?"

"Well, it's the sparkling wine that my sister put here. She sometimes comes over and drinks here. So do you want to drink it?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked, shaking the bottle.

"......If you want to drink, you can open it." Uesugi Genshin didn't really want to drink, because he would not be able to eat after drinking. It was a rare opportunity to make so many delicious dishes, and it would be a waste if too much was left in the end.

He had already made up his mind and finished up the remaining food, or at least...most of it.

"Then open it." After Yukinoshita Yukino opened Haruno's sparkling wine, she came over with a few cups.

"Who wants a drink?" she asked, sitting in her seat.

"I'd like to try it a little bit." The good girl Ichinose Honami said after a moment of hesitation. She was really curious.
