You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

It can be said that Li Xi is the one with the personality closest to that of a normal person in Group C.

But this isn’t right either.

When did I enter the Lixi Line?

"...Are you serious?"

Shiina Riki frowned.

"Didn't you ask me to cover your food for half a month? Eating out is a waste of time, and I thought you wouldn't be full if I bought you bread or something, so I asked Mom to make some at home."

Toyokawa Sho clenched his fist and knocked it on the palm of his other hand, suddenly realizing what was going on.

If Shiina Riki hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about it, and there was also this.

Originally, he just said this casually, mostly acting and exaggeration, but he didn't expect her to take it seriously. She is worthy of being Li Xi, and her ability to say one thing and do another is still as wonderful as ever.

“Thank you so much.”

Toyokawa Sho closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and spoke in a solemn voice like a devout and resolute priest.

"I will eat it with great respect, Shiito."

Having said that, Toyokawa Sho sat down at the table.

He solemnly followed the table manners that the Toyokawa family had taught him when he was a child, and opened Lixi's lunch box with gentle and elegant movements, as if there was an orchestra specially invited to play elegant music in this room.

In fact, he had originally planned to come to RiNG after dinner, but after seeing the scumbag get up in the morning, he didn't want to stay in the house for a second. He hurried out after finishing his housework and didn't even have time to eat at home.

He picked up the chopsticks and put the rice into his mouth.

Under Shiina Rikina's silent gaze.

Toyokawa Sho chewed it carefully for a while, his expression changing dramatically like the sea.

First, it tastes bland when you first put it in your mouth, then it’s amazing when you chew it, then it’s a wonderful aftertaste, and finally, it perfectly reproduces the blissful look of tasting the supreme delicacy with the facial expressions of the film “Food and Medicine Spirit”.

"W-What a delicious taste...! The moment I tasted it, it felt like I was at the sea, the sound of the surging waves rustling in my ears. I looked up at the sky, a brilliant blue, and my nose was filled with the scent of youth...!"

"Shiina-san, your cooking skills are incredible! In my opinion, the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki and the top chefs are nothing but fireflies, not as good as a finger of your bright moon. Take this hamburger patty, for example. The cooking time is exquisite, and the combination with the sauce is impeccable. And this tempura, mmmm! So awesome! You live in heaven every day, Shiina-san!"

Countless words of praise poured out of someone's mouth, vividly portraying the image of someone who was extremely satisfied with the delicious food.

That's right.

Deduction.

That's a lot of nonsense someone just said.

All of them are search-free!

(No search, Japanese lies)

This man has been deeply obsessed with hot meals since he came into contact with the vast cooking system of the Flower Planting Family. He no longer has any interest in the cold food bento culture of Japan. Even the dishes he made for Toyokawa Shoko yesterday were all classic home-cooked dishes of the Flower Planting Family.

And Shiina Tatsuki's bento is the cold food bento that symbolizes sin.

And it’s the classic cold bento with hamburger patties, vegetables and tempura.

Nothing new.

No feelings.

There is no temperature.

Not even salt...!

Although it can't be said to be tasteless, it is no different from being tasteless. It has a kind of beauty that feels like being tortured.

But the man is a man of his word. If he says he will eat it with the highest respect, he will never break his promise.

I saw him using his triple crown acting skills to the fullest, and the corridor of life was activated at 200% power. He actually believed that he had deceived himself, as if what he was eating was not an extremely disgusting cold lunch box, but a chef's work that he had carefully prepared last night. Even the always proud Toyokawa Shoko licked the plate clean!

The surprised and enthusiastic tone in his words and the happy expression displayed through the exquisite control of facial muscles all show that he was conquered by the food.

"Well... I can only say it's okay, not as exaggerated as you say."

Shiina Riki stopped beating the drums and responded a little uncomfortably.

Instantly.

Toyokawa Sho's eyes became sharp.

It turned out to be the case.

It wasn't done by Auntie, but it was your handiwork?

I mean, how could a martial arts master who is already married, has children, and has honed his housework skills for more than ten years make such a dish that ruins his reputation?

Come to think of it, you have never asked your family to prepare an extra lunch box for you to take to school since you were a child. You were afraid of being misunderstood by your family, so you secretly made this lunch box by yourself, right?

Ha ha.

That's so cute, Lixi.

I was wondering why some parts of the hamburger patty were still uncooked. You must have been afraid of being discovered when you woke up in the morning, so you put it directly into the lunch box without even checking it, and then hurriedly destroyed all the evidence and ran to school, right?

You are such a vulgar person, you are so disrespectful to food!

Have some shame!

But I forgive you!

After all, it was a meal specially made for me, and food cannot be wasted.

Even though it tastes bad, I’ll still eat it all in front of you, to give you some satisfaction for your first time cooking.

"Hmm... I'm full..."

Toyokawa Sho leaned lazily on the chair, not even a grain of rice was wasted in the exquisite lunch box. The man's greatness at this moment was to surpass those countless ancient sages.

This insignificant detail fell into Shiina Riki's eyes, like ice and snow melting, melting away a little bit of the indifference that always appeared on her face.

Even if you're not a chef.

When you see someone completely destroy something you have worked hard on, you will feel a subtle sense of satisfaction.

In order to make this meal for Toyokawa Sho, she bought the ingredients specially after returning home yesterday, and then secretly put the ingredients into the refrigerator at the right time.

I got up at four in the morning to thaw the meat, then got out of bed at six, closed the soundproof kitchen door, hurriedly prepared dinner, and then hurriedly removed all evidence of my use of the kitchen...

All in all, it's very tiring.

She regretted making this bento.

After all, we've only met once. To be honest, we can't even confirm whether he's a friend or even a person from this world. It's considered polite to just buy something for him and bring it over.

But when she thought about what Toyokawa Sho said to her yesterday evening, and the vulnerability he inadvertently revealed during RiNG.

She hesitated for a while, but finally her worry defeated her laziness. She thought that at least she could ensure the health and portion size, so she continued to prepare the food step by step according to the tutorial in the video.

But as she did it, she began to realize that her behavior looked like she was preparing a love lunch box for her boyfriend.

She froze in place.

His expression was distorted as if he had eaten raw seaweed.

After taking a deep breath, she just sighed and continued to fry the shrimp meat carefully with long chopsticks, fearing that the flying hot oil would splash on her body. She was quite afraid of this.

Time returns to the present.

Seeing the cleanly eaten bento, Shiina Riki actually felt a little happy in his heart, and felt that his hard work and effort in preparing a special meal were worthwhile.

She had already prepared for a verbal fight. If Toyokawa Sho thought her cooking was unpalatable, she would just use the drumstick in her hand to chop off his dog head!

But now Toyokawa Sho was so boastful, which was beyond her expectation. If she had known that this guy could finish eating, she would not have used her mother as an excuse...

No, why think about these things?

Business is important!

"Now that you're full, come over and practice! We have to pass the boss's final interview today. Got it?"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

"..." Shiina Riki suppressed the urge to complain. By now, she was already used to Toyokawa Sho's sometimes funny way of speaking. "Also, after the interview, I have something to tell you."

"What can't you tell me now?" Toyokawa Sho tilted his head. "Shiina-san, if you keep people on edge and don't tell them, they're really going to think you're a jerk."

"It doesn't matter. I don't care what others think," Shiina Riki said stubbornly, "I just don't want to distract you during the next practice."

Why didn't you wait until after our interview to tell me about this, you idiot?

Toyokawa Sho's perfect smile showed signs of cracking.

He controlled his expression, knowing that if he pointed fingers at Lao Xi's amazing wisdom at this moment, it would only turn into a verbal fight. So he couldn't criticize her little head sharply, but had to let her speak out herself.

"How about this, Shiina-san? If you tell me what's going on right now, I'll answer one question for free."

Toyokawa Sho lowered his voice and spoke seductively, like a devil seducing a lost lamb.

"What do you have to ask? You just came from another parallel world. What does what happened over there have to do with this place?"

Shiina Riki was puzzled. It seemed like a stubborn, pedantic nun who was unwilling to change. It turned out that the devil had miscalculated that she was born pedantic and old-fashioned and did not understand human nature.

"Hehehe, Shiina-san, I forgot to tell you that not only do I come from a parallel world, but I also come from a timeline ten years in the future. In other words, I have the power to know the future!"

Seeing that the nun was so arrogant and had a hint of anger on her face, the devil attacked again. He didn't believe that the other party could withstand such a direct shot.

"Then why do you look only fifteen?" The nun showed no fear, holding high the eternal and unchanging imperial truth. In an instant, she grabbed the demon's dog head, pinned it to the ground and beat it madly.

"..." The demon fell silent, battered by the violent rain of fists, leaving him powerless to fight back. He held no truth in his hands, and faced with this question, he couldn't even answer a single word. In the end, he could only forcefully defend himself, "It's not important! That kind of thing isn't important!"

"Okay, even if it's not important, how can you be sure that what happened over there will definitely happen in this world? After all, it's unfounded, so I don't think there's anything to ask."

Seeing that the demon was clearly defeated, the nun showed no mercy and swung the chainsaw blade in her hand, banishing the demon back to the subspace on the spot.

“You, you blockhead…!!” The demon was enraged, his chest heaving violently. The figure swallowed by the subspace struggled hard to fight back.

"Why do you deny wisdom? Why do you resist bliss!? Think, Shiina, think! The sweet future is just around the corner. Don't you want to know what will happen to you and Tou Mo Ling in the future? Don't you want to know where you can enjoy watching pandas in the future?"

The nun's expression wavered and her soul wavered.

How is it possible... that this demon knows so much about her! ?

The lights are fine, but he even knew that she liked pandas...

Thinking back to the dream I had on the train yesterday, could it be that what the devil said was true?

Is he really another Shoko Toyokawa?

But so what even if it’s true?

Now... I just want to make you lose face!

The nun's faith returned to normal. Her face was solemn, with golden light flashing in her eyes. Her aura was rising steadily, and she actually mobilized the power of the pseudo-emperor to prepare for the final blow.

what! ?

It turned out to be the God’s Choice of Air-dried Meat! ?

The demon was horrified and turned to flee.

But the nun was already ready, the chainsaw blade in her hand glowing brightly, just like the legendary EX curry stick:

"You're right, but I haven't completely convinced you're from another parallel world. Since I don't even have the most basic trust, why should I ask you? Isn't it useless to ask?"

“Puka——!!”

Rumble.

The massive beam cannon, a Noble Phantasm against cities, blazed across the Milky Way, heralding the victory of humanity.

Although the devil had an immortal body without ashes, he was ultimately unable to escape the theorem that the devil is one foot high and the Tao is ten feet high. His body was destroyed by the true wound that pierced through the stars.

He slumped weakly on the chair behind him.

All the past events turned into shooting stars passing before my eyes.

Looking back countless times, he was obsessed with his glorious past.

But now he felt that it was a bit dazzling.

He closed his eyes.

A wasted growl slowly emerged from between his bloody mouth and fangs.

This was his last words and also the last ripple.
