Chapter 164: School Day 1 and Teppanyaki
Chapter 164: School Day 1 and Teppanyaki
The class bell rings and the day's classes officially begin.
But as usual, Xue was slacking off, thinking about what ingredients to buy for teppanyaki in the evening.
Before we knew it, it was already noon time. The students in the class gathered in groups of three or four and started sharing each other's lunch.
As the only four sober people in the Disaster Paradise, Xue, Shidao, Rinne, and Maria naturally gathered together.
Enjoyed a delicious lunch while exchanging information.
“It’s delicious~”
"indeed."
After tasting the food prepared by Xue, Maria and Rinne couldn't help but be surprised. They had never eaten such delicious food.
"Xue, are you so good at cooking?"
"It's okay actually. After all, I have to take care of those kids."
"Eh? Does Shiori-chan have any brothers or sisters?"
Hearing this, Rinne and the other two couldn't help but feel curious. Does Xue have other children besides Shiori?
"She has three older sisters, of course, and they are also my adopted daughters. I myself am still unmarried."
"...I see. It must be very hard for you, Xue, to take care of them?"
At this moment, Rinne had already learned about Xue's true identity from Shidou, so she didn't seem surprised.
"It's actually not that bad. My eldest and second daughters have already started their own families and careers, and my third daughter is old enough to take care of herself."
"The only one who needs my care is little Shiori."
"That's it..."
"By the way, Xue, have you discovered anything new here?"
Hearing what Ju Ya said, Xue shook her head slightly.
Although he knew everything, he couldn't tell them for the time being so that Shidou, Rinne, and Rin'o could be together as a family of three.
As the four of them were chatting, the school bell rang, heralding the arrival of afternoon classes.
Fishing, continue fishing until the school bell rings.
As soon as school was over, the four of them naturally went to the supermarket together to buy ingredients for dinner.
In order not to become a light bulb, Xue consciously distanced herself from the three people, leaving enough space for the three of them to form a Shura field.
After buying the ingredients, the three returned to Shidou's house, and Xue was bound to go see Shiori first.
"I'm back~"
"Mom, welcome back!"
Hearing Xue's voice, Shiori immediately jumped and ran to the entrance of the Elf Apartment.
Xue reached out and touched Shiori's little head, and Shiori's face was full of smiles.
"Shiori, how was your day? Are you happy?"
"Well, Shiori is very happy today. Sister Yoshino and Sister Nanashi gave Shiori a lot of delicious food."
"Hey~ Shiori, did you thank them both?"
"Ok!"
"Shiori is so good."
Xue brought Shiori back to the room and helped her tidy up her appearance.
With a snap of his fingers, the mother and daughter's attire changed.
Shiori's original cat pajamas turned into a pure white dress, while Xue's school uniform turned into a red top and black pleated skirt full of everyday JK temperament.
"Wow, what a beautiful skirt~"
Looking at her new clothes, Shiori's eyes lit up and it was obvious that she liked them very much.
"Shiori, if you have any clothes you like, you can tell your mother~"
"Ok!"
After getting dressed, the two set off to Shidou's house next door.
"Everyone, we're here~"
"Welcome, Sister Xue, Shiori!" Hearing Xue's voice, Kotori came out to greet them.
When he arrived at the living room, everyone except himself and Shiori was already there, and a lively banquet began.
Everyone was grilling meat and chatting and laughing.
Of course, the protagonist of this banquet is Rinne, so naturally there must be a speech by Rinne.
"Eh...me?"
"Who else is here besides you? Everyone is here for Rinne, okay?"
"Well, um... okay."
After tidying up her words a little, Rinne looked at everyone with an inexplicable solemnity.
"Everyone, thank you for coming together for me. I hope to become real friends with you this time."
Hearing this, others might be a little confused, but Xue, Shidou and Maria looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.
This sentence was too cruel for Rinne. After all, it was equivalent to actively admitting that her current relationship with everyone was a fake.
"Hmm? Rinne, what are you talking about? We can already be considered friends."
"...Ah, yes, thank you Tohka. Once again, I appreciate your guidance."
"Hmm, please take care of me~"
"You are the obstacle I have to overcome, and I don't want you to leave easily for any reason."
"...Please give me your guidance. I would like to... trouble you for my care."
"Rinni, please take care of me!"
"Rinne... please take care of me."
"Please take care of me, Rinne. With you here, more interesting things will happen around Shidou, and I won't be bored anymore."
"As my servant, you are not aware enough. You haven't even realized that you have become an existence that I cannot leave even if I want to."
"I'm sure that Yui and Yakuya both consider Rinne a precious friend."
"The moment Rinne and I made eye contact, we were already friends. Besides, you're such a cute girl~"
"...Yeah, I hope Rinne can talk to me casually."
"I finally met a friend with whom I have common topics. I don't want to see you leave, Rinne~"
"Aunt Rinne, please take care of me~"
"Everyone... Thank you, I'm so happy..."
At this moment, happiness and joy filled Rinne's face.
"Okay, I'll start then! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
Thus, the somewhat sad atmosphere was dispelled and the banquet officially began.
"Okay, let's grill this piece of meat next."
Little foodie Shixiang looked at the barbecue with shining eyes, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Tohka, you can't always grill meat. You need to pay attention to nutritional balance." As a representative of the health-conscious, Kurumi kept reminding Tohka, but would Tohka, the foodie, stop? The answer is no.
"Yatogami Touka-sama is eating meat, and he's eating so much. Be careful or you'll turn into a pig."
The Origami Master and Tohka still don't get along, and Tohka naively fights back:
"This is beef. It can't possibly turn into pig."
“…Unreasonable”
The two of them started arguing as usual, and everyone laughed out loud, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
"This atmosphere is really nice." Shidao looked at everyone's smiling faces quietly, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"Well, Shidou, I really hope that we can continue like this and continue to be friends with everyone." Rinne also smiled.
"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."
"Thank you, Snow."
Due to the limitations of her cognition, Rinne only regarded Xue's words as a blessing, while Shidou beside her couldn't help but start thinking subconsciously.
Perhaps Xue, a being from another world, really has the ability to change something.
