The next morning, Uchiha Ryo woke up alone in bed. He got up very early today and saw that the two girls next door were still in their room, so he decided to go and prepare breakfast.
Come to think of it, all her skills were copied. It's just that the culinary skills in this world aren't very good, otherwise Uchiha Rin would have to learn a dish that glows (and makes clothes explode) and make it for them every day.
For now, I'll just make simple white rice with an omelet, tofu miso soup, and pan-fried salmon. That's enough for three people. I can also make some fish for the cat.
The kitchen door suddenly opened, and it seemed that the first person to wake up in the next room was... Yanyunjiang, who came over after smelling the fish aroma.
There's no need to eat too much in the morning, and Yukinoshita and Chitanda don't have big appetites, so let's cut a few pieces of the remaining unprocessed salmon for Enyun-chan.
Yanyunjiang: "No need to cut it, just give me the whole thing~"
Uchiha Ryo looked at the whole salmon in the freezer, which was about the same length as Yanyun-chan's. "Can you finish this?"
Yanyun-chan's cat face displayed an extremely human-like expression. "Tch, I'm a ninja cat with the power of the Two-Tails now, okay? If I wanted to, I could swallow a ten-meter-long fish in my Tailed Beast form."
Uchiha Ryo: "Don't try to fool me. Your tailed beast transformation is just like my Susanoo. It's just a layer of chakra covering the main body. The size of the main body won't change."
Yanyunjiang: "...Ahem, actually I wanted to take her to a cat cafe."
Uchiha Ryo raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so you, the cat boss, actually care about your employees? This is a high-end king salmon from the Yukinoshita family, about 2500 yen per pound. What are you up to by taking seven pounds of it?"
Yanyun-chan rolled her eyes. "Well, of course I'll take it back and share it with everyone."
This is a lie!
Actually, Yanyunjiang has a secret food storage room in the cat cafe's kitchen, which is all reserved for her own enjoyment.
The cat café has only been open for a few months. Although the customer traffic looks good, it will take time to break even. In addition, the cats can't help but spend money, so if they want to eat high-end fish and cat food, they can only go to the cafes of Yukinoshita and Chitanda.
Uchiha Ryo: "Fine, take them all. The Yukinoshita family isn't short of an Emperor Salmon anyway."
The cat used a psychic scroll to seal the fish meat, planning to take it to the cat cafe when it had the chance.
Uchiha Ryo said this while cooking.
"When you get to the cat cafe, ask Masaki Willow Fox to buy some premium cat food and deliver it to your apartment. Masaki told me about your own food stash, so do you think I'd let you go hungry? That's all because I trust you can get your own food."
Yanyunjiang: "..
She said she trusted me to get food myself, but now she either pays for her own cat food or eats Yukinoshita's!
Yanyunjiang: "No need, my heart is already filled with delicious salmon, and I probably won't like to eat any other food in this life."
"I'll pay for it... enough for you to buy two more king salmon. Your task during this time is to stay at the Yukinoshita family home and protect the two of them."
Yanyunjiang: "Yay!!"
After breakfast was finished, the two girls upstairs came down. At this moment, both Yukinoshita and Chitanda looked at Uchiha Ryo with a strange expression.
Yukinoshita felt apologetic for not keeping her appointment last night, and only hoped that Ling wouldn't be angry with her.
Chitanda was shy, after all, they had just confirmed their relationship last night and learned about Uchiha Ryo's secret, so her brain was still processing the information.
"Let's eat. I'll head back to my apartment after breakfast. Yukino should be back in a few days too."
Yukino nodded and then ate her meal in silence. Ling didn't seem angry with him at all; it seemed she really needed to find a chance to make it up to him!
The three ate breakfast quietly. After breakfast, the two girls offered to wash the dishes, while Uchiha Ryo left the Yukinoshita Manor after saying goodbye.
So next... how about we go find Little Lonely and the others?
At the Goto family home, breakfast had just ended when the doorbell rang. Goto's mother, who was washing dishes, called to her son, who was about to go upstairs, to open the door.
Are you asking me to open the door for someone I'm not sure is a stranger? Can I refuse?
Goto Ichiri pulled Goto Jiri, who was standing next to him, over.
"Um, would you like to go open the door with my sister?"
Goto Jiri looked up. "Sister, you just don't dare."
Little Lonely was looked down upon by a second-grade elementary school student, but she still pulled Goto Jiri to the door and urged Jiri to open it, saying that she would watch from behind.
"Brother Ling!"
When Goto Nuri opened the door, she was pleasantly surprised to find Uchiha Ryo standing behind it, and she was immediately very excited.
And Little Lonely finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they were people she knew; Goto Ichiri had really grown up! At least she could now have a normal conversation with Ichiji Nijika and the others, as well as Uchiha Ryo!
"Xiao Erli is fine too, but I'm here to see your sister today. I heard her guitar broke; are you planning to buy a new one in the next couple of days?"
When the topic of buying a new guitar came up, Goto Ichiri suddenly looked up and said happily.
"Yes! Dad has already set aside money for me to buy a new guitar. I'm going to go to the music store with Hongxia and the others today."
Uchiha Ryo: "Is that so? Then go back and change your clothes first, and then head out."
"Huh?"
Little Lonely glanced at Uchiha Ling, wondering if the other party had come to ask her out!
This...this is the first time! The first time a classmate has taken the initiative to come to her house and ask her out.
Little Lonely: "I...I'll go get ready right away!"
Goto Ichiri ran back upstairs, while Uchiha Ryo stood at the door waiting for her, politely declining Goto's mother's invitation to enter the living room.
Goto's mother had a good impression of Uchiha Ryo; in this era, there weren't many gentle boys like him.
Just as Little Lonely finished changing his clothes and came downstairs, Goto's mother handed him a small gift.
"Yili, you should still keep this in your bag, just in case you need it!"
Goto Ichiri saw the stack of ten thousand yen bills.
"Mother!"
Goto Ichiri was very touched because her father had just given her the money to buy a guitar yesterday, and today she received new funds.
Little Lonely took the cash, but as soon as he held it in his hand, he felt something was off. It seemed like there was something tucked inside the money...
After his eldest daughter left, Goto's father, who was reading the newspaper in the living room, asked curiously.
"What did you give Ichiri?"
Goto's mother glanced at her second daughter, who was still waving from outside the door, and quietly spoke to her husband in the living room.
"The one you bought a few days ago, it's super thin..."
