Knights: The journey of support starting with Faiz

It unconsciously made her think of the popular topic among girls: love.

However, as soon as she said those words...

The room fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone's movements stopped instantly.

It was as if time had stopped for the entire group.

"Shuhua, don't joke like that with Xiaoxu."

"The Heavenly Dao was the first to recover," he said solemnly to the tree flower.

"Correct."

Jiang Ye nodded.

Don't make jokes like that in front of your brother.

"It's fine."

Kusakabe Hikari spoke softly, like an older sister doting on her younger sister.

Tiandao observed Xiaoxu's expression.

As usual, she kept her head down, looking serious, as if nothing could disturb what she was doing.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ye's anxious heart also settled down.

Shuhua didn't say anything more, but she sensed that the atmosphere in the kitchen was a bit strange.

"Maybe I said something wrong."

Tree Flower thought to herself.

But when she observed the way Kusakabe looked at Eiha just now, she really noticed something different.

Although it wasn't as passionate as that of a couple deeply in love, there was still a sense of anticipation within it.

It's like something is brewing and waiting for.

I'll look into it again later.

The tree flower muttered a few words in a low voice.

Many young women have deep experience with topics like dating; just ask them and you'll understand.

Perhaps, she has discovered a secret that even her brother was unaware of.

"hey-hey."

Thinking of this, Shuhua smiled happily.

The level of attention paid to Higashinori and Eiyo also unconsciously increased.

Chapter 55: Tricking Takadori Renka into returning home!

"It tastes much better now."

At the dining table, Tiandao tasted a bite of the tofu casserole and said with a satisfied expression, "As expected, the difference lies in the proportions of the seasonings."

He recorded the entire teaching process of Jiang Ye, and it was not much different from what he had done before.

The taste, however, is quite different.

The only difference is that I'm not as good as Jiang Ye at the proportions of the seasonings.

"After a few days of practice, I can make it for the tree flowers to eat."

Thinking about how happy the tree flowers would be, Tiandao was quite looking forward to it.

"It's still not as good as Jiang Ye's."

Hikaru swallowed the tofu in his mouth and said in a low voice.

"It seems to lack some kind of magic."

Shu Hua analyzed carefully.

Kusakabe-nee's cooking is also delicious.

But it lacks the kind of magic that Jiang Ye creates, making people feel completely comfortable and relaxed.

"It's the ratio of seasonings that Xiaoxu hasn't perfected yet."

Jiang Ye explained with a smile.

What kind of magical power is this? How can someone say such a thing to the Heavenly Dao?

"Not even as good as Jiang Ye's?"

Tiandao was stunned for a moment.

Judging from their expressions, the taste must be more than just slightly off.

"There's probably not all the tofu left."

Tiandao became curious: what exactly did Jiang Ye's tofu casserole taste like?

It's amazing that it can capture both the taste buds of the tree flowers and Xiaoxu at the same time.

"So that my lovely little sister can eat the best tofu."

"Let's do it another time when I have time."

Before Tiandao could finish speaking, Jiang Ye immediately refused.

I can't possibly eat my own tofu in front of you.

I'll be more careful next time.

Kusakabe Xu recalled and summarized his cooking process, and earnestly said to Jiang Ye.

"Take your time. There's no need to rush."

After speaking softly, Jiang Ye seemed to remember something and casually asked, "By the way, I'm having a party at my house tonight, do you want to come?"

Kusakabe Kaori raised his head and looked at Jiang Ye.

After a slight hesitation, he nodded gently.

"Can I do that too?"

"Tree Flower asked expectantly."

"I've already agreed on your behalf."

After Tiandao finished speaking with a smile, he glanced at Jiang Ye, and his lips twitched slightly.

"Great!"

Shuhua excitedly raised her hands: "I finally have a chance to wear the evening dress I bought last time!"

"There's no need for such a grand ceremony."

Jiang Ye smiled and said, "They're all my friends. We're just chatting and having some fun."

"Wear whatever you want. It's the first time you're meeting someone's friends, so it's good to be a little more formal."

Heaven looked at the tree flower with great affection.

Kusakabe Kaori nodded in agreement, seemingly lost in thought.

After dinner, they agreed to meet at Jiang Ye's house. Jiang Ye brought home a portion of rice that he hadn't eaten, and then they went their separate ways.

After dropping Kusakabe Hiru back at the Western-style restaurant, Jiang Ye chatted with Yumiko for a while before returning to his apartment building.

As soon as Jiang Ye stepped out of the elevator, he smelled a very special fragrance, similar to the light scent of freesia.

"It's almost time."

Jiang Ye glanced at the partially closed door of the escape route, murmured something softly, and walked back to her room.

Takatori Renka, who had been staring at the direction of the corridor, only breathed a sigh of relief after watching Jiang Ye close the door.

He turned back and leaned against the door, murmuring softly, "I knew you would come back."

After all, this is a house that Jiang Ye just bought, and he hasn't even lived in it for two days yet, so it's impossible for him to abandon it.

I observed the doorway for another ten minutes or so.

Having determined that Jiang Ye had no intention of coming out for the time being, Takatori Renka turned around and took off a small cloth bag hanging from her waist.

Untie the black rope tied to the opening of the bag.

Takatori Renka poured out some of the dried rice from inside and gathered it in the palm of her left hand.

"I'm gonna start now."

Takatori Renka said calmly.

Squeak!

Sudden.

The iron gate to the emergency exit was pushed open, and a warm, mellow voice came through: "With such intense work, is this all you eat?"

brush!

Takatori Renka stood up alertly, and almost instantly replaced the dry rice in her hand with a thin, almost imperceptible steel wire.

It was held in her hands, which were wearing special gloves.

"take it easy."

Jiang Ye pushed open the door, and an intoxicating aroma of food wafted out, making Takatori Renka, who was starving, swallow hard.

"I just wanted to invite you to my house for a simple meal," Jiang Ye said with a smile.

"I do not need!"

Takatori Renka firmly refused.

Food can undermine a person's will.

She just needs to stay alive; she doesn't need anything fancy.

"what ever."

Jiang Ye turned around.

The emergency exit door wasn't closed either.

A rich aroma, as if it had eyes, kept wafting into Takatori Renka's nose, making her hunger grow stronger and stronger.

Even unconsciously, I took a few steps forward.

"Go to his house and take a look; you might find some valuable clues."

An idea that convinced her quickly popped into her mind, causing Takatori Renka to quicken her pace.

Following the fragrance, I entered Jiang Ye's house.

The living room is quite spacious.

The furniture around the room was arranged appropriately, and the room was clean and tidy.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa, there was a plate of golden-yellow fried rice.

The rich, enticing aroma emanates from it.

"Gudong."

Takatori Renka swallowed again, her eyes fixed on the fried rice.

"ZECT sent you here to fully establish my identity as a knight, didn't they?"

Jiang Ye sat calmly on the single sofa next to the coffee table, holding a glass of red wine.

Takatori Renka nodded.

This is indeed her main task.

On the other hand, it is also necessary to collect information about Jiang Ye's daily life and understand his character and abilities.
