"Sanae."
Sitting on the sofa, Tsuchima Mai suddenly shouted weakly.
"If you have something to say, speak up, death!" Toumori Sanae also looked a little unhappy.
"You say... why hasn't senior Kazuto come back yet?" asked Doma.
"I don't know. The great devil Yushan must be preparing some shocking conspiracy of death!" said Touma Sanae. She is sulking now!
In fact, the two of them didn't wait long after going upstairs, less than half an hour in total, but they had already imagined more than a dozen blockbuster movies in their minds.
"Tell me, did you go on a date with senior?" Tsuchima Mai suddenly became alert.
Toumori Sanae blinked. Although she felt that it was unlikely, she still became nervous: "Will the Great Demon Lord Yushan take the other henchmen home, death?"
When Doma Mai heard this, she immediately felt that it was very likely: "Kazuto-senpai left us at home first, and then went to pick up the other girls. Is this reasonable?"
"This makes sense. This is indeed the style of the great devil Yushan!" said Touma Sanae.
"Sanae, do you know why Senior Kazuto invited you to dinner tonight?" asked Doma Mai.
"Thor's hammer makes you unaware of death!"
There must be someone in the Toumori family who knows the customs of the Uyama family, but Toumori Sanae is definitely not aware of this.
The door suddenly rang, and the two men's eyes narrowed as they looked towards the door, their hearts pounding.
"What are you two looking at?"
Looking at the two people staring at him as if examining a criminal, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say.
Seeing Yushan and others closing the door, but still no one else coming in, the two of them finally felt relieved.
"Senior Kazuto, where did you go?" Domama blinked and asked curiously.
"I told you, let's take care of some things." Yushan Heren said with a wink.
"What's the matter, death?" Toumori Sanae looked at Hayama Kazuto.
"Huh? Do I have to report before I go out to do something?" Yushan Heren looked at the two of them.
In fact, it's not a big deal, so it doesn't hurt to tell it. But after all, Izumi Sagiri doesn't want too many people to know that she's an illustrator, so Yushan Kazuto still doesn't plan to tell the two.
Looking at the two of them sitting on the sofa and sulking, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile and walked over to the sofa.
"What do you want to eat tonight? Chinese cuisine. Each of you can choose one."
"Dongpo pork!" Domama said quickly.
"Eh?" Yushanheren looked at Tujianmai, "Change it, there is something similar to Dongpo Pork."
Yushan Kazuto just made braised pork with soy sauce last night. Dongpo pork and braised pork with soy sauce are both pork dishes, and they feel like they have some repetitive properties.
"Then... Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
Yushan Heren blinked: "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has been prepared long ago, you don't need to choose."
Doma puffed up his cheeks and looked at Yushan Kazuto. He couldn't choose two things in a row, but he still asked him to choose.
"Then... Squirrel Mandarin Fish, is that ok?"
Doma Mei remembered that Yuyama Kazuto seemed to have bought mandarin fish yesterday.
"OK." Yushan and others made a hand gesture.
Originally, the mandarin fish was bought to make mandarin fish soup, but Doma Mai actually wanted to eat squirrel fish, and Yushan Kazuto thought it was fine.
"The user of Thor's hammer is going to eat the meatballs and die!" said Touma Sanae.
"Meatballs? How about glutinous rice balls?" Yushan Heren blinked.
"Tangyuan, what kind of death is that?" Toumori Sanae looked at Yushan Kazuto.
"It's similar to meatballs, with stuffing inside, and it tastes pretty good." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Although the dumplings were bought by Yushan Heren and not made by himself, the taste is still worth the try.
Toumori Sanae nodded. In fact, she was willing to eat anything made by Hayama Kazuto.
Kazuto Yuyama couldn't help but smile. Originally, Kazuto Yuyama was still worried about what soup and dishes to prepare, but Touma Sanae helped him solve this headache problem.
"I'm going to prepare dinner first. It might take a little longer. You guys play games first." Yushan Heren said.
The two nodded and turned on the PS5. Before Yushan Kazuto came back, they didn't even have the mood to play games.
Now that Yushan and Ren are home, the two of them feel a little more relaxed.
"Hey, Umaru-chan? The great devil Yuyama said that it would take a long time to prepare. Does that mean he has to cook a lot of death?" Sanae Touma asked while rubbing the game controller.
"I don't know." Domama shook her head, "But Kazuto-senpai did buy a lot of food yesterday."
Toumori Sanae blinked lightly and continued playing the game.
……
Dinner officially started at 7:30 in the evening.
To be honest, this time was indeed a little late compared to Yushan Kazuto's usual meal time. Even Yushan Kazuto himself was feeling a little hungry, not to mention Touma, Sanae and the other two who had already started eating snacks to fill their stomachs.
However, the three of them were very sensible and did not eat too much. After all, seeing Yushan and others busy in the kitchen, they knew that there would be a big dinner tonight.
If you suddenly fill your stomach in advance, won’t you be unable to eat at dinner time?
Yushan Kazuto prepared nine dishes and one soup, which meant perfection.
He actually thought this was a good time.
Although it is 7:30 in the East 9th District, it is only 6:30 in the evening in the East 8th District, which is time for dinner.
Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, Toumori, Sanae and the other two couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I originally thought it was just a big meal, but I didn't expect it to be so sumptuous. Just looking at it makes my mouth water.
There may not be as many varieties as those in Michelin restaurants or Kaiseki cuisine, but the portion sizes are far more than those two.
Any dish prepared by Hayama Kazuto is larger than an entire kaiseki set meal.
"Senior Kazuto, what day is today?" asked Yui Doma in a low voice.
"It's just an ordinary Thursday." Yushan Heren said. He didn't intend to explain too much.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but give Yushan Kazuto a blank look. Anyone could hear the evasion in Yushan Kazuto's words.
"Okay, everyone, let's eat quickly. These are hot dishes. They won't taste good if they get cold." Yushan Heren said.
Doma Mai glanced at Yushan Kazuto, stopped hesitating, and held the chopsticks in both hands.
"I'm gonna start now!"
……
"Sagiri, wait."
Seeing Sagiri Izumi extending her chopsticks towards the braised pork, Kazuto Yuyama couldn't help but stop her.
"What's wrong, Brother Kazuto?" Izumi Sagiri suddenly became a little nervous and asked in a low voice.
"That's spicy. I remember you can't eat spicy food, right, Sagiri?" said Yushan Kazuto.
“Is… is it spicy?”
Yushan Heren added chili powder, and the chili was hidden in the meat, so it was not easy to see from the outside.
"Hmm, slightly spicy, slightly spicy." Yushan Kazuto said.
Izumi Sagiri blinked: "If it's just a little spicy, I'd like to give it a try."
Chapter 919: Tujian's Curiosity
More than half an hour later, dinner ended peacefully as usual.
Izumi Sagiri really couldn't eat spicy food. She just tasted a piece of braised pork and her little mouth kept inhaling.
But she also discovered a new world. It turns out that spicy food can give people such a strong and direct sense.
Many Japanese also like spicy food, but most Japanese spicy condiments, such as mustard, have a spicy taste and are extremely irritating.
In comparison, the spicy Hunan cuisine seems to satisfy Izumi Sagiri's taste buds better. Even though she can't eat spicy food and was gasping for breath, Izumi Sagiri still kept eating.
By the end of dinner, a small half of the whole plate of braised pork had gone into Izumi Sagiri's stomach. She seemed to be still reluctant to eat more, but Yushan Kazuto was a little worried about her gastrointestinal health.
This was also the first time that Sagiri Izumi left the table after eating. Normally, she might just take a few bites, taste the flavor, and then go back to the house.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't expect that Izumi Sagiri would be captivated by the spicy Hunan cuisine. He originally thought that Izumi Sagiri should prefer Cantonese or Huaiyang cuisine.
After dinner, Kazuto Hayama, Sanae Toumori, and Yui Doma sat on the sofa and played games.
The skills of the three were all very good and this time there was no one holding them back, so they really had a lot of fun.
Although they cooperated well, there were still some small conflicts among the three of them, such as...
"Great Demon Lord Yushan, don't steal the equipment of Thor's hammer user, death!"
"Damn it, Great Demon King Yushan still hates death as much as he did when he was a kid!"
"Hey, as the main C, what's wrong with me taking a few more pieces of equipment?"
"You're a swordsman, what are you doing with the hammer of Thor's hammer?"
……
Listening to the quarrel between Yushan Kazuto and Touma Sanae, Doma Mei couldn't help but blink.
[Did the scumbag senior and Sanae know each other for a long time? 】
Doma Mai knew that Toumori Sanae had known Tamayama Kazuto earlier than herself, but she was not sure how long they had known each other. She had never found out about the past between Tamayama Kazuto and Toumori Sanae.
But after listening to their conversation, Tsuchima Mai seemed to understand that the two had known each other since childhood, and it seemed that their relationship had always been good since then.
Doma Mai's mind was suddenly filled with a myriad of thoughts, some of them in a mess. She was a little curious about what kind of relationship Kazuto Yuyama and Sanae Toumori had. She was also a little nervous because it seemed that the two of them got along very well, as if they were a perfect match.
Even though he had a good relationship with the two of them, he couldn't get a word in at a time like this and could only play games silently.
As Domama was thinking, she sat cross-legged on the sofa, and her expression seemed a little melancholy.
"Umi-chan, what are you thinking about death? You have died five times in this level!" Toumori Sanae said dissatisfiedly.
Toumori Sanae chose the Paladin as her profession, and originally wanted to be a main tank, but Yushan and others snatched too much of her equipment, so she had to switch to a support role.
As one of the double carries, every time Doma Mai dies, Touma Sanae has to risk being besieged by monsters to rescue her. However, because Doma Mai has something in her mind, she seems a little absent-minded.
In this stage alone, Touma Sanae rescued Doma five times.
If it weren't for Yushan and his amazing operation in dealing with all the monsters, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out in this level.
"Nothing... nothing, I just felt a little dizzy."
Tsuchima Mai also realized that she was distracted while playing the game!
You know, Doma Yui has never been distracted while playing games before.
When Doma Yui plays games, she is the type of person who remains calm even when faced with a catastrophe.
But because he was concerned about the relationship between Yushan Kazuto and Toumori Sanae, he was a little distracted and made mistakes while playing the game.
"Are you feeling dizzy? Then take a short break after finishing this level." Yushan Heren said.
The progress of this level is almost done. Yushan and others have almost cleared all the monsters. They can pass the level as long as they find the boss.
Domama nodded and cheered up. Although the thoughts in her mind were still spreading like vines, what she should do now was to complete this level well.
After defeating the boss, Yushan Kazuto put the controller aside and stretched.
Toumori Sanae placed the handle on her legs and stretched lazily.
The two people's movements were synchronized, almost exactly the same. Yushan Kazuto looked at Toumori Sanae and couldn't help but blink: "Sanae, why are you imitating me? Do you have to imitate me even when I'm stretching?"
"It was obviously the great devil Yushan who imitated Thor's hammer to use death!" Touma Sanae said without giving in.
Doma Mai was sitting nearby, but as a bystander she could see clearly that the actions of Uyama Kazuto and Toumori Sanae were almost performed at the same time, and there was no question of who was imitating whom.
If I have to say it, I can only call it - coincidence.
There is another word that may be more appropriate, but Tsuchiya is unwilling to admit it.
"By the way, Senior Kazuto, have you known Sanae for a long time?" Doma Mai asked with a blink.
