Chapter 1055 Cucumber Kato Megumi?
Chapter 1055 Cucumber = Kato Megumi?
As the sun sets in the west, weary birds return to their nests.
As Momotaro howled with hunger, Ruyi Dormitory gradually became noisy.
Kyosuke Hojo finished his work at the school's sports festival early and went home, opening the door and shouting, "I'm home!"
In an instant, four or five almost overlapping "Welcome back" rang out, like a flock of larks singing in unison, clear and beautiful.
Rinko Ohashi, who had somehow gone from kneeling to sitting cross-legged, was about to stand up to greet the homeowner, but before she could even struggle to get up, a golden lightning bolt suddenly shot from the courtyard into the living room, moving so fast that it became a blur.
As she turned to look at the courtyard to confirm whether the golden flash was Eriri, who had been like a worm just moments before, she heard a "thump" from the entrance hall.
"Aho!"
Eriri slammed into someone's hard yet elastic pectoral muscles with a savage thrust. The cushioning effect left her only slightly dizzy, but still capable of uttering a curse.
Miki Okudera walked to the door, tilted her upper body to peek out, and saw Eriri pressing her head against Kyosuke's chest, her two little fists weakly pounding.
The brown-haired woman smiled playfully, said nothing, and returned to the kitchen.
"Why are you only coming back now! We agreed to celebrate with Hui, did you want us to starve to death?!"
Eriri complained loudly, though she wasn't actually unhappy. However, she felt embarrassed to be so angry in front of so many people.
She's been working incredibly hard this week and is exhausted. She desperately needs to get some energy from someone.
No need for hugs, pats on the head, or even words. Just being close like this, able to smell Kyosuke's scent, will gradually warm my parched heart and weak body.
Sigh~ Sigh~
She shouted loudly while forcefully inhaling through her little nose.
She silently thought to herself, 'I'm sorry, Kyosuke. If I don't scold you, Megumi and Miki will think I miss you and am clingy! Only this way will they not misunderstand!'
No way!
What the blonde idiot didn't know was that what she thought was a very fierce and stern scolding sounded like flirting to others, just like Momotaro whining happily at her feet because Aniki was back.
They were all equally overjoyed, all felt like they had finally received rain after a long drought, and all were equally excited about it.
Kyosuke Hojo had already tossed his schoolbag onto the shoe rack, raised his hand to gently stroke Eriri's head, and whispered, "Gomee, I forgot you often get hungry." "Call me more often next time, don't worry about anything else." "..."
With his left hand he touched her head, while his right hand gently combed the princess's messy golden hair that had rolled around on the recliner.
As a result, Eriri's "scolding" became even more delicate and soft, just like a cute but fierce little Ragdoll cat.
Although, although just breathing in the air of chores can make me feel very energetic!
But, but! If I could also pat his head and hear his "unreasonable" voice, that would be even better!
Happy! Happy!
Not only has her main body's energy been fully replenished, but her backup hidden energy is also off the charts! She could easily draw the next episode right now!
At some point, Ohashi Rinko's expression became very serious.
Her intelligent eyes pierced through the pink atmosphere spreading from the entrance hall, seeing Hojo Kyosuke and Eriri still cuddling, then turning to look at Okudera Miki, her apron-clad, voluptuous figure in the kitchen, and then transcending the limitations of space to see Ueno Naoka sewing clothes in her studio, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who hadn't left the house since returning home and was supposedly writing a new novel...
Finally, she turned her head and looked at her friend beside her, whose mouth still had bits of potato chips on it.
Eh……
With a sigh, she reached out and removed the crumbs from Hui's lips, putting them into her own mouth.
I saw Hui's future, but I couldn't see it.
Fortunately, Eriri's princess-like image, stemming from her instinct to spend money on in-game purchases, made her remember the existence of Rinko Ohashi, so after her energy was fully charged, she reluctantly struggled to prop her head up.
"Alright, alright, you seem to know you were wrong, so I'll forgive you this time. Go and greet the guests. How rude of you, Rinko-san has been here since this afternoon!"
That's what Her Highness said.
Upon hearing this, Ohashi Rinko immediately felt a surge of grievances she wanted to express, but fearing being killed, she chose not to.
Kyosuke Hojo changed into his slippers, raised his hand to greet Rinko Ohashi. He had seen her several times this week, so they weren't strangers. Then he turned to look at Megumi.
"The celebration banquet is so late, are you getting impatient?" he said with a smile.
The girl with the bob haircut shook her head, a bright smile on her fair and delicate face.
"My family has already given me a very enthusiastic celebration~~"
Upon hearing this, Kyosuke Hojo and Rinko Ohashi immediately burst out laughing, while Eriri, standing nearby, looked around in confusion, wondering what was so funny about her family celebrating her improved grades.
If she could get into the top 30 in her grade like Hui did, her parents would probably send out invitations everywhere and hold a grand banquet to celebrate.
After chatting for a while, Hojo Kyosuke went upstairs to change his clothes and knocked on Utaha's door to see if she was driven crazy by the new book. To his delight, the girl was in good spirits and even tossed him a pair of black stockings that she had worn all day for him to play with.
After asking what dishes he wanted to eat and receiving a reply, he went downstairs to Naoka's studio and repeated the above steps.
Then the kitchen became a shared domain for Hojo Kyosuke and Okudera Miki, who stood side by side wearing matching aprons.
Eriri, Megumi, and the other two stopped playing separately and sat together at the bar outside the kitchen, chatting happily about Rakuten.
Rinko Ohashi originally wanted to talk more with the princess, but her attention was involuntarily drawn to the two people in the kitchen.
The boy on the left is tall and broad-shouldered, making his T-shirt look great. His waist is cinched at the waist because of the apron tie, and his back presents a perfect inverted triangle shape, which looks very sexy and makes Ohashi Rinko swallow hard.
For the first time, she felt a deep resentment towards her own ordinariness. If she were as outstanding as Eriri or Kasumigaoka-senpai, could she also... *slurp*
The girl on the right... Forgive Ohashi Rinko for hesitating on this title, not because of age, but because although they are both girls, physically, that Miss Okudera is not on the same level as herself and Keima.
Although there was no allure of a nude apron, and even her upper body was covered by a relatively loose t-shirt, Ms. Okudera's buttocks, or rather her hips, were really round, perky, and full.
The tight jeans were stretched so tight they looked like they were about to burst, an outfit that high school students would never dare to try. Not only did they lack style, but they would also expose the flatness of their buttocks.
When Ms. Okudera wears this, she gives off the feeling of a ripe peach hanging on a branch, so ripe that honey seems to be dripping down.
Thinking of this, she glanced at her friend next to her, her gaze gradually moving downwards.
Ah... Hui, your butt is just as calm and collected as your expression.
But then she glanced at Princess Eriri, who was chattering excitedly beside her, and her expression finally softened considerably.
dong dong dong-
Holding a kitchen knife, Kyosuke Hojo cut potatoes into thin strips of the same size, so fine that they could be measured with calipers without any error. From behind, all you could see was his shoulders trembling slightly.
Actually, cutting vegetables is very simple. You just place your fingers on the vegetables to hold them in place and mark the intervals for cutting. In short, it works on the same principle as an automatic bread cutter.
Miki Okudera, standing next to her, was operating a frying pan, simmering some kind of sauce.
The cuisine she pursues is healthy and delicious, which requires the ingredients to be as clean as possible and then seasoned with sauces, so she has always put a lot of effort into this aspect.
Not to mention that the start-up capital for her business was earned from a sauce, which further fueled her passion for sauces.
The menu at "Yanting" no longer lists specific dishes; it's all just names of sauces. You choose a sauce and add ingredients—simple and straightforward, yet delicious and healthy.
Did you call Ms. Jing and Yang Nai over?
Kyosuke Hojo talked as he chopped vegetables, his hands never stopping for a moment.
"Not yet, I'm worried that Kyosuke's cooking is too delicious and Shizuka has drunk too much."
Miki Okudera chuckled softly, holding the handle of the frying pan in her left hand and gently stirring it with a reddish-brown wooden spoon in her right. The thick, brown sauce bubbled and fried in the pan, its sweet aroma quickly sucked away by the range hood before it could even spread.
Hojo Kyosuke chuckled upon hearing this: "Hahaha, that's too cruel to Shizuka-sensei! I'll call..."
Before he could finish speaking, Eriri, who was sitting at the bar behind him, suddenly shouted:
"Miki, Miki!"
"what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Miki Okudera turned her head and slightly lifted the frying pan.
The moment she turned her head, her captivating charm left Ohashi Rinko speechless: her long eyelashes, her cheeks flushed slightly from the smell of cooking oil, and her fiery red lips.
With such a beautiful woman standing next to him, how did Hojo-sensei manage to refrain from doing anything naughty and instead cook so earnestly?
As a result, she developed even more respect for Hojo Kyosuke.
"I think I smell something really nice. Could you turn down the range hood a little so the aroma can waft over here?"
Eriri blinked her big eyes and pleaded.
If Yukino Yukinoshita heard this, she would go crazy immediately, because the sofa and carpet in the living room are made of materials that absorb odors, and if the smell wafts over, you have to clean them every time you cook.
However, the girls in Ruyi Dormitory didn't care. On the contrary, the faint fragrance when they rolled around on the sofa was very relaxing and made them feel at home.
Moreover, the huge courtyard has a super strong ventilation function, with plenty of fresh air.
Miki Okudera chuckled upon hearing this, but instead of turning off the range hood to let Eriri smell the fumes properly as Eriri had suggested, she turned around, grabbed a small plate, tilted the pan slightly, and filled the plate with a wooden spoon.
Meanwhile, Hojo Kyosuke, who was standing next to him, had already cut a cucumber and blanched baby corn and arranged them in a pretty woven plate.
Miss Okudera naturally took the plate and placed it, along with the sauce dish, in front of Eriri, Megumi, and the other two.
Cucumbers are simply perfect, whether you're eating them or using them as a culinary tool. They're crisp and refreshing, perfectly complementing sauces without being too filling. They're also excellent as a face mask.
When moving into the Ruyi Dormitory, Kyosuke Hojo considered whether to cultivate a small plot of land to grow simple vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes, but after thinking it over, he decided not to add to the workload of the shovel.
Now that we don't have the two useful laborers, Sayaka and the Imperial Envoy, back in Itomori, this job might fall to him again.
"Oh!! It's so delicious!"
Eriri gasped, her large, bright blue eyes widening. She popped another cucumber into her mouth while pushing the plate towards Kato Megumi and Ohashi Rinko, urging them on:
"Megumi, Rinko, you guys eat too! Miki's sauce is absolutely amazing! It's so delicious with cucumber, it's insane!"
Yeah, yeah, I can tell!
Seeing Eriri with five or six cucumbers stuffed in her mouth like a funny anime character, Rinko Ohashi quickly picked up a cucumber, carefully dipped it in sauce, and put it in her mouth as well.
"Oh my! Huihui! This is so delicious!"
Her eyes widened in surprise. The skills of a nutritionist who could earn millions of yen with a sauce recipe were beyond the comprehension of an ordinary high school student like her!
Kato Megumi, who had also picked up a cucumber and was about to put it in her mouth, suddenly stopped. Looking at the two pairs of expectant eyes on either side of her, the girl felt a little embarrassed.
She felt that if she remained calm and composed after eating it, Eriri and Rinko would be very disappointed.
Hmm... looks like I need to unleash my undiscovered acting talent!
She dipped the cucumber in the brown sauce and popped it into her mouth.
"Oh!"
The girl gasped softly, then instinctively raised her hand to cover her mouth, looking at the extremely simple vegetable dish in front of her with disbelief.
This... isn't much worse than Kyosuke-kun, is it?!
“How’s that?!”
Eriri and Rinko Ohashi couldn't wait to ask.
"It's so delicious..."
Kato Megumi praised him calmly.
"Haha~~ I knew you'd like it, Hui!"
Eriri laughed happily. Cucumbers themselves don't have much flavor, just a refreshing taste, just like Megumi—calm and composed, without any outward expression of emotion.
However, when dipped in sauce, the cucumber's natural flavor is brought out, just like Megumi, whose unique personality slowly emerges under Kyosuke's influence, and whose inherent charm becomes palpable.
So, cucumber = Megumi Kato?
