Si Ji kept some seasonings and basic ingredients on hand so that even if some strange ingredients were put into the pot and the soup base changed its taste, he could respond quickly. With his level 8 cooking skill, at least the final porridge would not become unpalatable.
The ingredients that Kashiwazaki Hoshina and Yamada Fairy put into the pot were all normal. The sound when they put in the soup base sounded sparse, as if the whole piece of food was cut into small pieces in the kitchen.
Judging from the sound, Kashiwazaki Hona should have put in lettuce or burdock, while Yamada Fairy chose the more conservative konjac or rice cake.
When it was Si Ji's turn, he naturally poured the small squids and shelled oyster meat that he had just processed into the pot, and quietly sprinkled some bonito flakes. The ingredients for removing the fishy smell had already been added when the squid ink soup base was prepared. Now all he had to do was slowly cook out the fresh and sweet flavor of the seafood porridge and he would be done.
The last person to select ingredients was Oosaka Taiga.
In the darkness, Shiki suddenly felt someone's gaze.
After all, it is daytime now. Even if the light-blocking curtains are drawn, once the eyes adapt to the darkness, you can still vaguely see the outlines of others in the darkness.
He immediately realized that the gaze came from Kashiwazaki Sena - the fairy Yamada was staring at the hot pot with interest - it seemed that the girl was not discouraged by his previous rejection and was still trying to explore the secrets here.
Just when he was about to say something, there was a violent knock on the door. It was so fierce that Si Ji felt that if he opened the door a little later, the person outside would break in.
"I'll open the door."
Yamada Fairy said in the dark, then walked to the entrance and opened the door as if he was familiar with the place. Suddenly the darkness in the living room was dispelled by the light from the door, and it could be vaguely seen that the person coming to the door was Kashiwazaki Sena's father, Kashiwazaki Tenma.
But before Kashiwazaki Tenma could say anything to scold the rude man who kidnapped his daughter, he heard the boy shouting in a frightened voice towards what was probably the kitchen.
"Wait a minute, Oosaka! You can't open that can of herring in the house—"
The next moment, there was a puffing sound.
Hell has come.
Chapter 305: Threefold Return
Bad news: Because of the canned herring, Four Seasons' room has temporarily fallen into a stinking hell.
Good news: Kashiwazaki Tenma, who had come with great momentum to call for punishment, was interrupted by the stench.
Originally, he seemed to be planning to take Kashiwazaki Sena away directly, but the power of the canned herring was so beyond his expectations that his well-intended show of strength was completely ignored. Everyone in the room was in chaos and no one cared about his existence at all.
After everything was settled, without the momentum of taking the lead, Kashiwazaki Tenma was pulled to the low table by Shiki in a daze.
When he came to his senses, he found that Si Ji's actions had pulled him from the condescending role of accountability to a position where they could communicate on an equal footing.
Is this just a coincidence? Kashiwazaki Tenma looked at Shiki calmly. If this guy had started to plot against him the moment he saw him, then his scheming was too deep. He might be worth training to be a good negotiator.
"I'm here to take Sena home." By now, he had calmed down and probably realized that what he heard on the phone before was probably just a misunderstanding. Even so, Kashiwazaki Tenma didn't intend to let Sena stay in such a place: "Her body is still very weak, it's best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination."
"You're right, it's a matter of course."
Shiki nodded, remaining indifferent to Kashiwazaki Tenma's aggressive momentum, and spoke calmly.
After all, no one except him knew that Kashiwazaki Sena's suspended death was caused by puberty syndrome. Now that the disease has been cured, the suspended death syndrome will naturally not occur again.
But words are not enough, so to reassure them, there would be no problem in letting Kashiwazaki Sena get a full body check-up.
"Aren't you going to stop her?" Kashiwazaki Tenma asked in surprise, "After she leaves, I won't let her go back to a place like this."
"Whether Kashiwazaki-san stays or leaves is her own business. I won't interfere."
Four Seasons answered frankly.
Anyway, the system reward has been received. Even if Kashiwazaki Hoshina doesn't live here, Shiki will at most lose an unnecessary blank resume, which is not a big deal at all. On the contrary, it can free up a room, which may be able to be rented to other qualified people in need.
But his frank attitude, with no intention of trying to keep Kashiwazaki Sena, made Kashiwazaki Tenma feel unhappy: What's wrong with my daughter? Are you so uninterested in her?
"Giving up like this, isn't that too irresponsible?" Kashiwazaki Tenma looked at him and said meaningfully.
"ん?"
Shiki looked confused: "I'm sorry, could you explain a little bit how Mr. Kashiwazaki knew that I was irresponsible?"
Kashiwazaki Tenma was silent for a moment, then answered righteously: "Of course it's from the stench floating in the air! Is there anyone with a sense of responsibility who would do such a thing?!"
It was Oosaka Taiga who brought up the dark pot, and she was the one who opened the can, but it was me who was cleaning up the mess for the other party, so why did I become irresponsible...
Si Ji complained in his heart but didn't show it.
He vaguely felt that the other party's attitude towards him was full of thorns, but he couldn't figure out why. After all, he didn't kidnap his daughter. It was Kashiwazaki Sena who came back on her own...
Speaking of which, Shiki remembered that when he was on the board of directors, he heard that Kashiwazaki Tenma was very concerned about his name. Maybe changing the name would make him feel better.
If I remember correctly, there should be another way to pronounce the "Tenma" in Kashiwazaki Tenma's name. Although it sounds a bit childish, isn't that how Japanese people like it?
So Si Ji sincerely tried to explain: "Mr. Pegasus..."
"Shut up! Don't call me that!"
But he was yelled at by the other party.
Judging from the fact that his face turned red with anger, the other party didn't seem to like this title very much, even though it was quite fashionable.
Si Ji thought with some regret in his heart.
"In short, I don't approve of you and Sena having any strange entanglements in the short term." Kashiwazaki Tenma said in a deep voice.
"I don't mean to do that kind of thing." Shiki clarified as he drank a sip of the tea brewed by Yamada Fairy calmly.
But drinking tea in the stench always makes the taste of the tea seem strange, which makes Si Ji feel a little uncomfortable.
And Kashiwazaki Hona seemed to understand Shiki's words, and her expression became a little gloomy.
"You answered too quickly. You should think about it again." Kashiwazaki Tenma said in a deep voice when he saw this.
"..." Shiki rubbed his temple with a headache: "So Mr. Kashiwazaki, do you allow Kashiwa...Sina to live with us, or are you firmly against it?"
Because Kashiwazaki Tenma is also Kashiwazaki, and Kashiwazaki Sena is also Kashiwazaki, in order to avoid confusion, Shiki simply called Kashiwazaki Sena's name directly.
Hearing him call his daughter so intimately, Kashiwazaki Tenma's expression twisted for a moment, but quickly returned to his poker face.
However, Kashiwazaki Sena, who was not far away, showed an expression of surprise and a little joy.
Yamada Fairy could understand Shiki's embarrassment and was not unhappy that he called other women by their names. Instead, she looked at the uncle who seemed to be giving Shiki a lecture with some dissatisfaction.
"First of all, I will definitely take her back for a full physical examination. There is no room for negotiation."
Kashiwazaki Tenma finally calmed down and recalled how Kashiwazaki Sena was depressed a few days ago, as if she would despair of life at any time. He then looked at the noisy and quite angry Kashiwazaki Sena. After his expression changed several times in a complicated way, he finally sighed: "You are the landlord here, right? Reserve a room for Sena, and I will pay you the rent every month."
"That's no problem..."
Shiki scratched his face. Although a room would be occupied, it seemed to be more advantageous to him overall. After all, he could get money, and the room was originally provided to Kashiwazaki Sena...
"But if you dare to bully Sena - including but not limited to [beep], [beep] and [beep] - I will do to you triple what you did to her!"
Kashiwazaki Tenma gnashed his teeth and warned sinisterly, "Humans have more than three holes on their bodies."
four seasons:"……"
Mr. Kashiwazaki seemed to have tacitly agreed that after the medical examination was completed and her body had recovered, Kashiwazaki Sena would move in here.
"Dad, what are you talking about!"
Kashiwazaki Sena was shocked by her father's bold statement: Is this still her father who is usually so elegant, easy-going, kind and gentle?
Chapter 306: Give the industry a little loli shock
The next day, in the Toyosaki Student Union Office.
"That's it. The last two home visits are completed."
Shiki handed two reports to Amakusa Shino, and he added with a muttered sentence: "Although I didn't get to meet Oosaka-san's parents, and talking to Kashiwazaki-san's parents wasn't that pleasant..."
Let’s put aside Mr. Kashiwazaki Tenma’s situation for now. Shiki also rushed out the home visit report on Oosaka Taiga.
Oosaka Taiga is currently living alone. The relationship between her parents is a bit strained. As a daughter, she feels like a burden to either side. Fortunately, her father rented a very luxurious apartment for her to live alone, and he also provides her with sufficient living expenses every month, so she does not need to worry about her livelihood.
Even if Shiki tried to contact the other party's parents, both sides didn't seem to want to care about Oosaka Taiga's affairs. They just kept blaming each other, which made Shiki feel quite unhappy.
Oosaka Taiga was already used to his parents' behavior, so he comforted the angry Shiki indifferently.
Unlike the domineering little tiger at the beginning, after getting familiar with each other, Oosaka Taiga's temper is not as bad as she usually shows on the surface.
Shi Ji even felt that she deliberately acted like a thorny person to prevent others from getting close to her.
But if someone is not afraid of being stabbed and dares to approach her gently despite the risk of being stabbed (or even having been stabbed), she will trust the other person and show her softer and kinder side.
This is somewhat similar to Kashiwazaki Sena. In the past, Kashiwazaki Sena would also use arrogance and coldness to disguise herself. Only after she completely trusted others would she reveal her stupid side. However, Kashiwazaki Sena didn't even have such a friend at the time, and could only show such a gentle expression to her family.
"Is that so... No, this is enough," Amakusa Shino tried to poach people as usual: "Washimiya-kun, you've done better than those teachers, don't you really want to consider joining the student council?"
"Excuse me for being frank," Si Ji said seriously, "I prefer to spend my days doing nothing in bed rather than working hard in the student union."
"Well, I understand your idea..."
Amakusa Shino sighed. She was not the kind of person who liked to stick to the rules. She had been in the position of student council president for almost two years and had done a lot of work in these two years, some good and some bad. However, the overall evaluation among students was still positive.
"Anyway, thank you for this time. We can continue to cooperate if there is a chance in the future."
Amakusa Shino stood up and shook hands with Shiki in a serious tone: "The Student Union welcomes you anytime... and the promised reward will be given to you later."
Si Ji nodded in satisfaction and quickly left the Student Union office.
Among the five people who have been visited at home, the adolescent syndrome of Takanashi Rikka and Kashiwazaki Hoshina has been successfully resolved. Among the remaining three, Sakurajima Mai has to wait until she is really helpless and comes to the door to seek help; Kasumigaoka Utaha has directly closed her heart and is currently in a state of "please, other me". It is difficult to say how to effectively awaken the other person's heart.
But no matter what, the situation of these two cases is already completely clear. On the contrary, except for "eating a lot", there is nothing abnormal about Oosaka Taiga now, so it is obviously more difficult to solve the problem.
Si Ji originally thought that the girl's condition was related to her parents' near-divorce state. While trying to have a talk therapy with her, he specifically mentioned those two people and rolled a psychologist's box. The answer he got seemed very normal, as if she didn't care about her parents' situation at all.
Now Shiki felt that he had reached a dead end and had to temporarily give up the strategy on Oosaka Taiga's side and honestly find a way to solve the situation of the other two people.
It is worth mentioning that although there is no clear evidence, Shiki believes that in Mai Sakurajima's case, if she wants to resolve the symptoms, she may have to appear on the screen once.
Shiki was not impatient about this. After solving the case of Kashiwazaki Sena's fake death, Shiki even took some time to transform into Haruta Masaki and went to Moe Family to confirm the current progress of the studio.
"You actually have time to come here today?"
When Masaki Haruta arrived at the studio, the first thing he saw was Chiju Natsuyo eating snacks in the lounge.
The girl didn't have any announcements today, so she just came here to do some independent training and then ran to the lounge to eat.
"I've been very busy before..." Haruta Masaki looked at the girl, and then he changed the story of Kashiwazaki Hoshina's resurrection a little bit and told it to her.
After all, Chiju Natsuyo is one of the few people who knows that he has supernatural powers, and even the girl herself is from another world, so some little secrets can be shared with her, so that Shiki doesn't get sick from keeping them in his heart.
"It seems like it's not easy for you either." Chishou Natsuyo sighed very maturely.
"How's the situation in the studio?" Masaki Haruta asked the girl.
Although Masaki Haruta also learned about the development of Moe Family from other channels, the version he could hear from one of the members, Natsuyo Chitsu, was obviously more detailed.
In general, the achievements of the Mengya family are quite encouraging. Previously, 'Haruta Masaki' signed a contract with Maple Leaf Society's Hegumi, and was able to purchase the various manuscripts accumulated by Maple Leaf Society in the past two years for use as scripts on a priority basis.
During this time, Shiki found two scripts in the pile of old papers and formed two crews through remote control. One crew was filming an ordinary TV series similar to "Innocence and Lightning", which used various foods as clues to tell the story of the warm and delicate relationship between a father and daughter in a single-parent family.
On the other hand, they are filming a drama series similar to "Chibi Maruko-chan", which is mainly a collection of various short segments and occasionally some touching stories. Because U149 idols have undergone much more training than ordinary child stars, their expression management and acting skills are very good, and the filming is much smoother than that of ordinary children, so the progress on both sides is quite gratifying.
I believe that in just a while, the members of U149 will be able to officially meet the audience and fans on the TV screens.
Although it is not possible to make all of them famous, even if Shiki has all the cheats, it is not very realistic, but Haruta Masaki is quite confident in the girls, and I believe that they will definitely give the industry a small loli shock.
Chapter 307: Being too sensible will only lead to disadvantages
"I'm back..." Alice Tachibana rushed back to the Mengya Family office, and then saw a green-haired young man sitting on the boss chair that was usually empty. She narrowed her eyes like a Tibetan fox and stretched out her tone: "Hey, who is this? What's the matter with you coming to the office?"
Haruta Masaki smiled bitterly helplessly. He naturally heard that the other party was expressing his dissatisfaction with the fact that he had not appeared in the office for a long time.
Following behind her, Sakurai Momoka, who had just returned from the variety show studio, looked at her friend helplessly: "You can't talk to your agent like that, Alice."
"Hmph." Alice Tachibana snorted.
"Mr. Agent is definitely helping in his own way. Don't everyone in the agency have things to do recently?"
Sakurai Momoka preached gently and virtuously: "Compared to being idle all the time, doesn't Alice think it's better now?"
"Of course I know that," Alice Tachibana's expression softened a little, not as arrogant as before: "To be able to get in touch with so many TV and movie resources, and often receive famous variety show notices... the agent must have put in a lot of effort, but even so, he can come to the office occasionally to see everyone..."
Seeing that a girl who was only twelve years old could behave so sensibly, Haruta Masaki felt a little relieved, but also subtly guilty.
He had contacted these resources half a month ago. Later, after the incident of puberty syndrome came out, he indeed neglected the affairs of Mengya Family and was not as hard-working as the girl expected.
"I'm sorry. The firm is still in its infancy. I have indeed neglected many things and have not taken care of many things. But don't worry, I promise that as the budding family develops, these things will be resolved sooner or later and become topics of conversation for you in the future."
Haruta Masaki sincerely apologized to Tachibana Alice and said sincerely.
The girl didn't expect him to apologize so sincerely to a little kid. Her face turned red immediately. She said shyly but stubbornly, "It's good to know. I'm not really dissatisfied with you, my agent..."
