Chapter 838 Everyday Life (make up for yesterday's 4800 words)
At night, the warm sunlight disappeared along with the skyline, and in this old village in the human world, where the roads were covered with moss, wisps of smoke rose from the roofs.
Wow.
The glass and wooden door of the Night Sparrow Canteen was opened.
"Good evening." Mystia originally wanted to greet the guest, but found out that the visitor was Youyouzi, so she immediately shrank under the counter.
"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Emiya Shirou put the sauce-covered lamprey on the charcoal grill and turned to ask, "Same old thing?"
"Yeah, same old same."
"Okay, I'll have everything on the menu."
"Can I have a side of yakitori?"
"We don't have any poultry dishes here."
"Where's Mystia?"
“That’s the boss, not the ingredients.”
After sending the greedy Yuyuko away, Emiya Shirou began to continue preparing his ingredients.
There is still some time before the official opening, but some customers will sit down here early to avoid queues later. This is an unspoken rule that only regular customers can use.
“That’s why I don’t want to entertain that ghost.”
Mystia, who was defeated during the Eternal Night Incident, still has a psychological trauma towards Youyouko.
"That's an important customer who can provide a huge amount of sales." Emiya Shirou joked, "Boss, you should get used to it."
"If it weren't for your suggestion, I wouldn't have opened a store in the Human World." Mystia sighed.
Mystia Lorela is a night sparrow monster who originally ran a mobile barbecue stand with red lanterns in the sparsely populated Night Road. However, since she met a human named Shirou Emiya and was defeated in a spell card battle, she was asked to open a store in the human village.
Although strictly speaking, she was first rescued by this person when she was attacked by a group of strange human beings with special abilities.
He has a monstrous sense of taste and after tasting a bite of lamprey, he told her the recipe of his special sauce. He is also a good cook and can make many different types of delicious dishes.
Very strong, and handsome in appearance.
"It's much safer here, isn't it?" Emiya Shirou laughed, "Boss, your demon power has also declined. Now you are no different from an ordinary human girl. It's better not to be alone in the wild."
"Besides, business is much better now."
"It's all because of your cooking skills." Mistia is very self-aware of this.
"Don't worry, I will teach you all the cooking skills."
"Practice has limits, but cooking has no limits. You are worthy of being our master of cooking."
Fairy Bie Xue's family, who chose not to receive any wages but to learn cooking skills and techniques, as well as other chefs in Chaldea, all expressed their approval of this.
The Night Sparrow Shokudo is able to accommodate so many guests thanks to Shirou Emiya's connections.
After spending time with him, I feel that he is very considerate and gentle. If I were to say anything bad about him,
Wow——!
"Shirou~ I'm off from school~" Illya pushed open the door, skipped to Shirou Emiya, and gave him a skillful hug and kiss.
"Well, it's probably not a good idea to attack a young human female." Mystia was a little absent-minded.
They are still siblings.
There are rumors that the two of them fled from Japan to Germany in order to avoid the secular eyes of the outside world, and then from Germany to the forbidden love of Gensokyo.
"Shirou-nii, we are done with school too."
The magical girls Illya, Miyu and others standing at the door looked at the two intimate people over there with blushing faces, while Xiao Hei had a look of envy.
"Welcome, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Emiya Shirou invited them to sit down, and at the same time glanced at Illya who was hugging him and the elementary school student's backpack behind her, and said:
"Illya, why do you want to go to school in Terakoya, which is full of children?"
"But my age is not even the average among my classmates." Illya got off Emiya Shirou and spread her hands, "And Shirou, won't you be looking forward to it?"
What to expect?
"My fiancée is still in elementary school or something." Illya shyly turned her head away and licked her lips with her index finger.
"Haha. Let me go, sister."
Unable to bear the thorny gazes around him, Emiya Shirou rarely respected her real age and family status, and called Illya "sister", trying to make her more aware of her age.
Little did I know.
In the eyes of others, this scene was simply a special interest between adults. Many people chose to keep a little distance, leaving some space for the two, while also starting to focus on the things in their hands.
Because night is coming.
On the clay stove, the casserole was spitting out pearly white bubbles, kelp was expanding in the soup, and white mist and fragrance gradually filled every corner.
Shirou Emiya took out a piece of freshly picked shiso from the rattan basket, wrapped it in batter, and put it into the oil pan. There was still some residual glutinous rice flour on the chopping board on the other side, which was now being smoked by the steam into a warm and sweet fragrance.
The aromas of these foods mix and merge with the sounds of cooking in the open kitchen.
Of course, there are also the hungry diners
The door was opened again, and the world and the sky seemed to be plunged into silent darkness, but the red lanterns hanging at the door of the store divided the two worlds.
"Good evening, uh, what happened?"
Seeing Song Shuhang walking into the store in a panic, Emiya Shirou asked, "Are those teams of reincarnations difficult to deal with?"
Song Shuhang and Zhang Heng's faces turned pale at this moment, and cracks on their lips due to lack of water were visibly visible to the naked eye.
"Remlia couldn't control her Stand ability. She was yelling about not bleeding enough today, so she targeted us."
Song Shuhang covered his forehead and said, "Is there anything that can moisten the throat and replenish the blood?"
"Um. What is the connection between these two?"
"She told us to praise the majesty of the red moon."
Song Shuhang laughed at himself: "It's just too cute. I couldn't help thinking about it, so I was poked by Gungnir several times."
"Thanks for your hard work"
Shirou Emiya took out some dried plums from a glass jar, the wrinkled skin covered with icing sugar, mixed some fruit into a drink and handed it to the two.
Not long after, Remlia, the instigator, came to the store with everyone from the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She first glanced at Song Shuhang who was sitting in the back, then looked away awkwardly.
"A Bloody Mary and a serving of Inferno."
"it is good."
Shirou Emiya began to prepare strawberry juice and mapo blood curd.
Ever since Remlia's sense of taste went 'wrong', she hasn't drunk the blood of ordinary humans for a long time. It seems that her body has no need for it, so even if she drinks tea, it only tastes like rust.
However, after trying blood curd again, it has become a must-order dish when I visit the restaurant.
"Is there any bread?" Izayoi Sakuya asked, "Lady Irena asked me to bring some back."
Patchouli's library stores a vast amount of magic books, many of which are written by herself to record the magic she created.
Irena naturally would not miss the opportunity to collect magic, so the Scarlet Devil Mansion recently had a new witch living there.
I don't know why, but when I was chatting with Patchouli, she looked a little upset when she heard that Remlia had become the descendant of Su Lin and Meng Qi.
As the perfect head maid, Sakuya could normally bake pastries like bread, but the attack she encountered today caused all her stockpiled ingredients to be scrapped.
"Yes, yes." Emiya Shirou scratched his head.
Su Lin had asked himself before not to sell bread to Irena so often, and to order more nutritious foods such as vegetables and meat when ordering meals.
"I'll make some sandwiches later."
There is meat, vegetables and bread, so the nutrition is sufficient. There are many rare and delicious wild vegetables in Gensokyo, which are perfect for making sandwiches.
Since Yeque Restaurant is a place similar to an izakaya to the outside world, and most of the villagers in Renjian Village are accustomed to eating dinner at home, the huge store is relatively empty.
Generally speaking, it is not until the second half of the night that the place gradually becomes lively, but today there are obviously more guests, and they come earlier than usual.
"Brother Li, just order whatever you want. It's my treat today." Xiaohong walked in with Li Ming and others.
After this group of reincarnations glanced around the store, they sat down in a corner, secretly observing while using mental connection within the team.
"I always feel a little pain in my heart when I see Remlia." Liming covered his chest.
"The feeling of being in love?" Lin Xingxing was a little surprised: "Captain, you are a lolita control!"
"No, it's just pure pain."
"Come to think of it, I have phantom pains too."
"what happened?"
"I don't know, but when I see Flandre, I want to dance. It's like something is engraved into my DNA. And I really want to eat McDonald's. Does this place have fried chicken and French fries?"
The reincarnations were talking among themselves, and they always felt that they had forgotten something very important.
Mission? There was no need to rush into that. Just slowly investigate this strange fantasy town.
Just as he was thinking this, Liming and the others saw Huai Shi, whom they had met in the office lobby during the day. At this moment, he was in tattered clothes, with messy hair, bruises and bloodstains on his body, and he slowly walked in from outside the store.
A pair of sparkling eyes, a neutral oval face, and soft facial features make her look so pitiful under the light.
"Doudou, sit down. This is not Chuchu." Song Shuhang pressed down Doudou, who had searched for the keyword 'Chuchu control'.
"puff!"
Zhao Xin, who was standing next to Ge Xiaolun, had blood gushing out of his nose, and his eyes were filled with anger and pity.
"Who did it!? Miss Huai, you...me..." Zhao Xin slammed the table and stood up.
"I told you he is a man." Ge Xiaolun pulled the other's sleeve.
"Bullshit! How can someone who looks this cute be a boy?"
"You will be responsible if this guy becomes gay in the future."
Jarvan shook his head.
"Huai Poems."
Emiya Shirou remembered that Huai Shi had gone to lure away a fanatical reincarnationist. He had a complicated expression and said with difficulty: "Is it okay? Nothing happened? Do you want to go back and take a shower and rest?"
"." Huai Shi was silent for a long time. After a moment, he spoke solemnly:
"I have never been so grateful to Tongji. I am grateful that she chose the path of sublimation of Shan Gui, which has a plant-based origin, for me."
Don't get me wrong, he was caught by Yuuka Kazami and thrown into the alphabet circle to perform an enviable drama.
Although Edward was sent to the sunflower field, the origin of the sunflower brand liver protection tablets, the plant-based monster Fengjian Yuxiang had no ill will towards the same kind of "little monsters". In addition, they had dealt with each other in the human village on weekdays, so the initial favorability was at least not negative.
Mountain ghosts can grow grass and flowers, so after repairing the sunflower field, the other party just held an umbrella and fired magic cannons while deliberately torturing me while I was running away.
At least it wasn't killed instantly.
"It was really hard." Emiya Shirou listened silently and wiped the sweat off Huai Shi's forehead: "Luckily we escaped."
"It's not that I escaped. I ran into Shi Hao who had dealt with the rest of the team." Huai Shi glanced in the direction of the sunflower field: "Those two were still fighting each other."
Yuuka Kazami is interested in equally powerful monsters or humans with special abilities, and prefers to use physical attacks with overwhelming force.
After running into Shi Hao on the way, he immediately gave up his plan to torture Huai Shi.
After seeing Huai Shi's "miserable condition", Shi Hao didn't say anything and directly picked up the Daluo Sword Embryo and rushed up to fight, and at the same time he wanted to recover the "natural authority" from Feng Jian Youxiang.
Compared with those two monsters, Edward's physical strength is like that of a rookie.
Huai Shi took a deep breath, taking in the smell of oil and spices to soothe her tense nerves: "Uncle Fang has always wanted to add some recipes, but unfortunately he can't leave home for the time being."
"Can't you learn it yourself?" The crow appeared and mercilessly exposed the truth: "How long has it been since you improved your cooking skills?"
"I'm already exhausted from work, and when I get off work I just want to eat something ready-made, even if it's pre-prepared."
Huai Shi spoke frankly and decided what he wanted to eat tonight: "Give me some grilled lamprey. I don't want to see anything green for the time being."
"Another bowl of loach soup."
Soon, grilled lamprey with a flavor similar to grilled eel but with more ke elements appeared on Huai Shi's table.
This thing is called lamprey in China, and it can cure night blindness and dry cornea.
"Is it easy to deal with the group of reincarnations heading to the old hell?"
Huai Shi asked while eating, "They are all technological teams. They have also created a clone army. They have a lot of people, right?"
Just as I finished asking, along with the boss's greeting, there was a quarrel at the door.
"It's the Endless God of War"
"No, it's the Endless Heroic Spirits."
"You are wrong. What I saw were endless gods and demons."
There were three teams of Reincarnations with bruised faces and noses. They looked even more miserable than Huai Shi. They were babbling incomprehensible words and their minds and cognition seemed a little confused.
"Aren't there no people in Hell, the Underworld, the Old Hell, and the Other Shore? The gods and demons managed by Chen Nan and the heroic spirits led by Li Xiang are interviewing for extras today."
"understood."
Huai Shi was not gloating, but his appetite improved a little in comparison, so he ordered another dish.
The atmosphere in the store was much more lively than at the beginning. Water vapor climbed up the wooden beams along the copper pipes and condensed into a misty galaxy on the ceiling under the effect of the lights.
As time goes by, more and more people come.
Xiao Yan, who came to pick up his daughter from school, walked into the store with his two wives and several close female friends, and happened to meet Yan Sen. Both parties had a serious negotiation with Xiao Yan about the child's education.
"Excuse me, I need a takeaway." Zhongli walked in and said.
"Not in the shop today?"
"The coffin shop and the Hall of the Dead are doing very good business today, they are all dealing with the remains of monks, so I have to hurry back to take care of it."
“It may arrive later.”
"It's ok."
Zhongli said hello to everyone and then turned and left.
Shirou Emiya withdrew his gaze, and silver light rose and fell in his hands. The chopped garlic filled the porcelain plate like an avalanche, and then put it into the oil pan and immediately stir-fried it with the emerald-colored scallion segments.
For the first time, Mistia was troubled by the booming business. She sighed and said, "This is like a dream. I don't know how long it will last."
“Isn’t it a good dream to have this kind of dream?”
"I just don't know what to do in the future. After all, I am a monster, but now I have become no different from a human. I don't know what Gensokyo will become in the future."
Zila——!
The lamprey on the iron plate makes a popping sound.
After a brief silence, Mystia wondered why the monsters in the store were not as worried about the future as she was.
"science."
The kappa girl wearing a green beret stood up from her position near the center of the dining table and said, "The future of Gensokyo must be an era of science. Science is the primary productive force!"
After saying that, he covered the coin and trotted out.
"The authority of the Kappa clan to control water flow has not yet been collected."
"Their clan is very rigid and they don't recognize the spell card game. They said they want to compete with Su Lin again in skills, and they will be willing to give up their abilities only if they lose."
"My brother is still playing in the resurrection match, how can he be free?"
“I don’t know about that.”
The discussion gradually veered off track, and time gradually entered late at night.
This time, local villagers of Gensokyo also came to the Night Sparrow Restaurant. In addition to Yuyuko, the guests rotated frequently, and even Floyd and Edward's team appeared again.
The monsters, reincarnations, time travelers, outsiders, and villagers of Gensokyo are sitting together peacefully at this moment. Under some unknown influence, they ignore the conflicts and problems and chat about their own things.
Dying in a dream does not mean real death, but it will lead you to the next level of dream, just like in Inception.
People's consciousness is connected to dreams, but also overlaps with reality. The past, the longing, and the expectation will all exist here in the interaction of harmony and order.
This is Gensokyo, the second Pinocchio.
A fool's dream.
The memory essence spread silently, even covering the boundary where Han Li fought with the Daozu of Time during the day.
The dream world reflects reality, as clear and distant as watching a fire from across the river, yet it becomes real in the rolling chaos.
