Not to mention that he and Okita Souji are still in the kendo training stage.

"Can't tell?!"

The girl's voice became louder and louder.

"Are you a liar?"

"How could I be a liar? Don't talk nonsense!"

"You should let me meet Uncle Kondo!"

"He's out!"

"Eh? This is very suspicious..."

"you!"

Just as Ian was struggling to explain to the girl in front of him, Okita Souji appeared behind her.

"Saisan...what's wrong?"

When Ian heard Souji Okita's voice, it was like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Okita, there's someone here who says he's looking for a master—and now he's asking me for proof that I'm the master's apprentice!"

"Ah, this..."

After hearing his friend's words, Okita Souji quickly rushed to Ian's side.

Then she saw the girl who came to visit suddenly.

Almost instantly, Okita Souji pulled Ian behind him like a dog guarding its food, and spoke with full vigilance:

"You are……?"

"Why is there another one?"

Looking at Okita Souji who was called over by Ian, the girl's attitude remained the same as before.

"When did so many people come to Uncle Kondo's house?"

"..."

"..."

Souji Okita pulled Ian aside and muttered softly.

"Sai San, do you know her?"

"How could I possibly know him?" Ian answered without hesitation, "If I knew him, I wouldn't have called you over, would I?"

"That's right..." Okita Souji stuck out his tongue.

"So what do you think she's here for?"

"do not know……"

Ian shook his head, then looked at the girl who was still at the door.

"But since she's come to Master, I think she must have encountered some difficulties. Based on Master's personality, I think we should keep her here for the time being. Okita, what do you think?"

"Yeah." Okita Souji nodded, "You're right, Toshizo."

Ever since——

After the two reached a consensus, Ian and Okita Souji turned around and prepared to welcome the girl who had suddenly visited them.

No matter what, let’s entertain them first.

But something slightly embarrassing also happened at this moment.

goo—

A crisp sound echoed among the three people.

Ian was very familiar with this sound.

That's a sound you can only hear when you're hungry.

As for why I had such an experience, it was all thanks to Souji Okita who was by my side.

"Are you hungry?" Ian seized the opportunity and asked.

"Did you not eat anything all the way here?"

"..."

The girl covered her stomach and just stared at Ian and Okita Souji without saying a word.

She seemed to have a very strong self-esteem and could not easily admit such a thing.

"..."

Okita Souji quickly realized this. She pursed her chin and thought seriously for a while before speaking again:

"We haven't had breakfast yet either. To prove we're the master's apprentices, would you like to come in and try Sui-san's cooking?"

"That might be a way for you to confirm that we are the master's apprentice."

This so-called verification method is naturally unfounded.

Kondo Shusuke is a kendo master, not a cooking master, so it is certainly impossible to judge whether he is his apprentice based on the dishes.

only……

Perhaps because she was really hungry, or perhaps because she really wanted to enter the mansion, the girl hesitated for a moment and then took the steps laid by Okita Souji.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try!"

"Let me see if you have what Uncle Kondo has!"

"Okay, then come in."

[After much effort, you and Okita Souji finally welcomed this girl who came from nowhere into the mansion.]

[The so-called verification has officially begun.]

[However, although it is said to verify you and Okita Souji. ]

[Actually, you're the only one cooking—after all, even though Okita Souji knows a lot of things, she's still a young lady.]

[Of course, she couldn't touch the kitchen.]

[But you don't care at all - cooking is not a difficult thing for you.]

[Rather, it's rare to have the privilege of cooking something that can fill your stomach.]

[You don't really like salted radish or anything like that.]

【only……】

【Once again, the development of things is beyond your imagination.】

"Good, really good at eating..."

"Sai San, this is more than you can eat."

"Yes, yes..."

Just like what Ian and Souji Okita are lamenting at this moment.

This girl who suddenly appeared had an amazing appetite.

That was a level that couldn't be described by the question of whether or not she could eat it—rather, one had to judge where her limits were.

Seven large pancakes, six bowls of porridge, and a pile of dough.

That's Ian... no, it should be said that the level of both of them combined is far beyond his reach.

Just being able to eat it would be fine.

Ian discovered that the other party was not only eating, but also stuffing everything he could get into his pockets, as if he was afraid that he would have nothing to eat later.

This is probably not the extent of not having eaten along the way.

This must be the result of being hungry for a long time, right?

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but look at the other person a few more times.

I was just trying to prove that I hadn't noticed it, but now that I see it...

She was really skinny, even more malnourished than herself.

"..."

The girl, who had just been eating heartily, seemed to have noticed that Ian and Okita Souji were looking at her, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.

She stopped and coughed a few times as if to hide her embarrassment.

"It's quite good... The things you make have the flavor of Uncle Kondo."

"That's great—so you really are his disciples. Surely more people will be able to experience the 'Natural Rishin-ryu'?"

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, Ian and Okita Souji looked at each other.

Because they just heard a very outrageous word.

That's "taste".

How does this have anything to do with the natural rational flow?!

Now, it was Ian and Souji Okita's turn to doubt the girl in front of them.

"Now that we've proven ourselves—"

The young man was the first to speak.

"Then shouldn't you prove your identity?"

"Yes." Souji Okita nodded, indicating that he agreed with his friend's words.

"At least let us know your name..."

"Otherwise, if we let a stranger eat so much food, Master might blame us."

"..."

Being "attacked" by two people from the front and back, the girl felt very embarrassed.

Obviously, she also knew that she ate too much.

However, she didn't just remain silent.

This favor of a meal seemed to make her accept the two people in front of her.

"My name is Shima Qiyong, and my father is a good friend of Uncle Kondo."

"It's just that not long ago... he fell seriously ill, and his family had no money for treatment, so he died."

As Shima Qiyong said this, he took out a crumpled letter from his pocket which was filled with biscuits.

It was obvious that it was a letter that had been packed for a long time.

"Before he died, my father told me that I could come and live with Uncle Teng, saying that he would definitely take care of me."

"Now it seems to be the case."

"So..."

Shima Qiyong's voice became softer and softer, and he was completely different from when he first stood at the door.

"Just leave me here to do some odd jobs..."

"I don't ask for much, just enough to eat..."

"what?!"
