A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

Before waking up, Raiden Mei had thought about the possibility that someone else might take over her kitchen.

It was based on this conjecture that she decided to sneak into the kitchen early in the morning before everyone else had gotten up and start cooking.

But to her utter surprise, the person who intercepted her in the kitchen... was actually Gu Yu?!

Moreover, judging from the speed at which he chopped vegetables, Gu Yu was clearly not a novice cook.

After taking a quick look around the kitchen, Raiden Mei felt increasingly uneasy.

Next to the juicer on Gu Yu's right, there were already peeled fruits... Why was there also bitter melon?

A pizza is baking in the oven to Gu Yu's left.

Something was cooking on both gas stoves on the left and right sides of the stove.

And now that Gu Yu is easily putting the chopped vegetables into the bowl, Mei really wants to ask...

—Where did you come from, Liu Maoxing?

If Raiden Mei were to handle these ingredients, she could easily process them one by one. However, doing so many tasks at the same time would require far more effort than processing a single ingredient.

However, now, Gu Yu has not only finished processing these ingredients, but has also finished marinating the meat.

Meanwhile, the oil in the wok on the stove has finished heating up. Now, just throw the chicken pieces and drumsticks in and fry them until golden brown, then take them out to cool.

The time after the cooling-off period is exactly when everyone gets up—provided that Kiana didn't stay in bed too long today.

Fried chicken, salad, Russian borscht, bitter melon juice and fruit juice, and pizza in the oven...

Why are they even including potstickers, a common breakfast item in China?

Mei has been honing her culinary skills since the Raiden Ryoma incident, and some time has passed since then.

But now, looking at these delicious-looking dishes, Mei, whose fighting spirit had been ignited, observed for a few minutes and then surprisingly discovered...

Damn it, I can't find any fault with it.

Although the meals at this gathering had some issues with nutritional balance, Mei knew very well that Gu Yu chose to make these dishes because they happened to suit everyone's preferences and tastes.

Kiana had been nagging about wanting a pizza that was overcooked, so the pizza Gu Yu made was starting to smell slightly burnt.

Bronya's homeland is Russia, so Gu Yu specially cooked a pot of borscht for her.

It's common knowledge that Dean Theresa loves bitter melon, so Gu Yu specially selected bitter melons to make juice.

Fu Hua and Gu Yu are both from China, so Gu Yu made potstickers for her.

Teacher Himeko has a special fondness for luncheon meat, so Gu Yu had already prepared luncheon meat and fried eggs.

Even Mei, Yuno, and Sakura, who are not picky about food, were specially given different Japanese dishes by Kouyu.

Even though everyone had only been together for less than a week, how was he able to discover everyone's tastes and preferences so meticulously?

"Not just my cooking skills... even my attention to detail... I'm..."

"Well, it's actually still quite early."

Hearing Raiden Mei mutter something behind her, Gu Yu calmly turned around and handed the freshly mixed vegetable salad to Raiden Mei.

"Give me a hand and help me put this on the table first. And could you also help me set the table?"

"Okay, okay."

After receiving the salad, Mei looked at the food in front of her, feeling incredibly wronged.

Why is the script different from what she imagined?

She should have used this opportunity to turn the tables, so why...?

Why is it that Gu Yu is the one who's getting in the way of her plans?

It's infuriating! I'm so unwilling to accept this, but my cooking skills and attention to detail are definitely not as good as theirs.

With a feeling of deep resentment, Mei placed the large bowl of vegetable salad on the table and set out the tableware.

Then, when he returned to the kitchen, he saw Gu Yu juicing the fruits and vegetables and pouring the juice into a bottle.

Bitter melon, on the other hand, is juiced last.

In that instant, Mei understood.

Although Gu Yu cleans the juicer after each juicing session, leaving the bitter melon until the end is clearly to prevent its bitterness from affecting the other juices.

It was just a very ordinary detail, but Mei felt like she had been stabbed in the back.

"Well, it's almost there."

After dropping the chicken pieces into the oil one by one, Gu Yu continued speaking to Raiden Mei behind him.

“These are all ready to be taken out. They should be up in a little while.”

"Once everyone is up, we can start today's party."

"Yes, I understand."

After listlessly placing the other dishes on the table, Mei saw Fu Hua, who was up early preparing for her morning exercise, walk out of the room.

"Mei-kun, are you up so early to prepare meals?"

After glancing at the food on the table, Fu Hua adjusted his glasses.

"You even have my favorite potstickers! You're so thoughtful."

No, I hadn't even thought of that.

"Hey, they even have Bronya's favorite borscht? And they even added canned beef..."

Bronya, who followed Mei out, gave her a thumbs up.

"Mei-neechan, nice."

No, Bronya, I didn't make this dish at all.

"Wow, it smells so good! My favorite fried chicken... Wait, isn't this burnt toast pizza?!"

Kiana, seeing the burnt pizza she had been dreaming of laid out on the table and smelling its aroma, pounced on Mei.

"Mei, you're the one who understands me best!"

Kiana, stop talking...

"Luncheon meat and fried eggs... I only mentioned it a couple of days ago, and you actually made it?"

Himeko said with great relief when she saw her favorite food laid out on the table.

"Mei, you're going to spoil me, your teacher, sooner or later."

Teacher Himeko, you simply don't understand...

"Bitter melon juice? Indeed, bitter melon juice is the most suitable way to prevent the bitter melon flavor from lingering in the pot and affecting the cooking of other dishes."

Dean, please shut up...

"Ah, my favorite rice ball."

Sister Sakura, how come even you...

Mei, who had been stabbed six times, suddenly looked at Yuno, the last one to come out.

"Miso soup... Dad... Mom..."

Yuno, who had been indifferent, suddenly spoke solemnly to Mei after seeing this most common Japanese breakfast.

"Mei, thank you. I told you before that I really like my mother's miso soup, and I didn't expect you to still remember."

Yuno, I didn't remember at all...

At that moment, Mei's pupils gradually dilated.

Why did it turn out like this? This...

This is a complete nightmare.

PS1: I really want to sleep, but...

Damn it, I really want to slack off, if only I had the money...

PS2: Time to go write the second update.

For the sake of money, for the sake of money, for the sake of money, for the sake of money, for the sake of money, for the sake of money...

Chapter 80. Kamen Rider Decade's Dining Table

However, soon everyone noticed something was wrong with Raiden Mei.

Mei is usually very gentle and polite. No matter who speaks to her, she will respond with a smile immediately.

But ever since Fu Hua greeted her, Mei's expression has become increasingly strange.

Kiana suddenly felt something was even more off after Yuno said thank you.

"Whoa! What's causing this electric shock sensation?!"

She was holding Mei when she saw Raiden Mei's pupils gradually disappearing, and suddenly some tiny electric currents pulsed across her body.

"Mei?! I don't know what happened, but calm down! Don't let the Herrscher power control your mind and body!"

Mei remained unmoved upon hearing Kiana's call.

She even had the illusion that, 'Ah, this world has no value anymore.'

However, she soon realized that there was something wrong with her mindset.

She immediately withdrew her Herrscher power, looked at her astonished companions, and said with an awkward smile.

"Everyone has misunderstood; I didn't make these dishes."

"You didn't do it?"

Upon hearing Raiden Mei's words, Yae Sakura immediately drew a card from her breasts.

Yes, my younger sister didn't sneak out.
