In the end, she was the one who sent him home. Later, he pestered her relentlessly, and she couldn't resist his pursuit, so she half-heartedly became his bride. Looking back now, it was a bit rash back then.
"Uncle's alcohol tolerance is very good, much stronger than the average person."
Hoshino Sora praised with a smile. His words were not false; compared to Yangino's father, Tadokoro's Father's alcohol tolerance was clearly much better, at least he could drink back and forth with him.
"That's right, I…"
Hearing Hoshino Sora's voice, Tadokoro's Father, who was somewhat drowsy in Tadokoro Mieko's arms, suddenly perked up, but before he could say two sentences, he was pulled back by the person holding him.
"Then we'll go back to our room to rest first. The rest is up to you two young ones."
As she spoke, Tadokoro Mieko helped Tadokoro's Father walk away. Tadokoro Megumi also came out of the kitchen at the same time the other party left, then looked at Hoshino Sora.
"Whoosh~!"
Seeing him slightly distracted, Tadokoro Megumi raised her hand and flicked it forward, and water droplets instantly landed on Hoshino Sora's face, making him show a displeased expression.
"It seems Tadokoro-san doesn't want to admit defeat in this evening's match!"
"I never said I lost."
"Hmph, I hope your mouth is still this tough later."
"Put me down! Someone will see us."
"It's okay, it's fine if someone sees us."
As he spoke, Hoshino Sora directly carried Tadokoro Megumi on his shoulder. Seeing this, she immediately panicked because this was her home, where many people she knew lived. Thinking of this, the girl immediately flushed and resisted with a twisted expression.
But was it useful? Obviously, Tadokoro Megumi, suspended in the air, had no leverage whatsoever and could only rage impotently, telling Hoshino Sora to put her down.
But would Hoshino Sora be that kind? The answer was undoubtedly no. He wished Tadokoro Megumi would be seen by people she knew, and then reveal a panicked look.
You know, shy girls are the cutest!
It must be said that he was a bit perverted.
Fortunately, it was late, and everyone had gone to rest. The two of them didn't encounter anyone on their way back to the room, which made Hoshino Sora secretly feel it was a pity.
"The door! Hoshino-kun, the door isn't closed yet!"
"Just leave a crack, it'll be fine."
"What if someone passes by…"
"It's okay, I can sense it, and besides, Megumi, your reaction right now is particularly interesting."
Because he possessed advanced Gourmet Cells, Hoshino Sora's perception of the environment was very high; he could detect anyone approaching within twenty meters.
Of course, Tadokoro Megumi couldn't perceive that far.
Because her Gourmet Cell level was not high, facing the sliding door that still had a gap, she was naturally very nervous, afraid that someone would pass by and hear some strange sounds.
Then tomorrow, gossip would spread from Shoeien.
"But… Mm… wait… stop…"
Tonight, Tadokoro Megumi was destined not to be at ease.
And Hoshino Sora, facing such a Tadokoro Megumi, always had a smile on his face, because he discovered: Megumi, who was afraid of being discovered and thus tried her best to suppress herself, was exceptionally cute!
— — — — — — — — — —
The next day, Hoshino Sora woke up early. The air was good, and the sky was blue, it was just that Megumi had been exhausted by him and was still resting on the tatami mat.
Perhaps Tadokoro Mieko had specifically instructed him last night, Hoshino Sora didn't hear any movement outside their room all night, but Tadokoro Megumi was especially nervous because of that door crack.
So much so that her mental focus was highly concentrated, and she experienced many things she hadn't experienced before, to the point where she eventually went from slight resistance to actively participating, even feeling like a new world had opened up to her.
Of course, these were all minor matters.
"Hoshino-kun, you're up so early."
As soon as Hoshino Sora left the room, he ran into Tadokoro Mieko. She was a bit surprised to see him, clearly not expecting him to be up so early and looking so vibrant.
Is this kid's combat power that strong?
Peeking into the room and seeing her daughter still asleep, Tadokoro Mieko subtly glanced at Hoshino Sora's navel downwards, and couldn't help but secretly click her tongue in her heart.
"It's my first time at my in-laws' house, so I naturally want to help out a bit first. Let me make breakfast for everyone today."
Facing Tadokoro Mieko, Hoshino Sora showed a gentle smile, then volunteered to take on the task of preparing breakfast for Shoeien, wanting to show off his skills to his convenient mother-in-law.
"Ah? How can that be? You are our guest."
"I'm also your son-in-law, these are things I should do, and making breakfast doesn't take much time."
Hoshino Sora said with a smile, his sunny and handsome face filled with an unyielding determination, which made Tadokoro Mieko's face flush slightly. She secretly thought to herself that she was being improper, actually having a crush on her daughter's boyfriend.
She naturally didn't know that this was Hoshino Sora's talent, which could greatly increase the goodwill of the opposite sex towards him, and also increase a lot of goodwill from the same sex. It was useful in all sorts of ways!
"Then I'll trouble you. The kitchen is behind the living room where we ate yesterday, with a corridor in between."
"I know."
Hoshino Sora nodded, then proceeded towards the kitchen, preparing to make a sumptuous breakfast for everyone at Shoeien, and incidentally prove his strength.
Soon, Hoshino Sora arrived at the kitchen of Shoeien. It was very quiet inside at this time, probably because it was still early, the large kitchen was empty.
Thinking of this, Hoshino Sora waved his hand, and countless fresh ingredients appeared on the counter. Coming to his in-laws' house for the first time, he had to show off something impressive. Cantonese dim sum was a very good choice.
The dishes were varied, delicious, and most importantly, the portions were small, with many choices, allowing one to slowly savor the deliciousness within.
The disadvantage was that there were too many things to make, and it was difficult for one person to handle. However, for Hoshino Sora, this was not a disadvantage at all, but rather an advantage for him to show off.
That's right, it was showing off.
Completing the work of ten people alone, and at a super high quality, was in itself a very impressive feat.
Without further ado, Hoshino Sora began to operate deftly on the counter.
Although it was his first time in Shoeien's kitchen, as a professional chef, he mastered everything in the kitchen in less than ten minutes, from the overall layout to the precise placement of oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.
These are very important for a chef, greatly impacting the speed of cooking.
With a fierce fire, a tempting aroma wafted from the kitchen within a few minutes, while the chefs responsible for the kitchen were still outside, arm in arm, chatting and laughing as they headed towards the kitchen.
"It smells so good, do you smell something?"
Still some distance from the kitchen, the man who had been happily chatting vigorously sniffed twice, shook his head left and right, then asked his companion in confusion.
"Don't even mention it, you're right! Is someone using the kitchen? It couldn't be Megumi, could it? She just returned from Far Moon, is she going to work in our kitchen?"
Hearing his companion's words, the other man also stopped joking, tried hard to sniff the air twice, then nodded. This level, it's impressive!
"No matter what, let's go check out the situation first."
"You're right."
As they spoke, the two exchanged glances, then quickened their pace towards the kitchen. Soon, they arrived at the kitchen one after another, then their mouths slightly agape, as if they had seen something terrifying.
Inside the kitchen, there was a man whose figure moved rapidly, moving between the pots and stoves, occasionally chopping vegetables twice, or kneading dough twice. All the work was orderly and very coordinated.
"This… How is this possible? He's doing so much work alone, won't his brain get confused!?"
After a while, the servant who had come to his senses finally realized something was wrong and said with extreme shock, one person completing the workload of over a dozen people, this was simply too terrifying!
"Isn't the person doing this right in front of you?"
"I know! Ryosuke, pinch me quickly, I'm not dreaming, am I?!"
"Ah! Hiss… It hurts! It seems I'm really not dreaming. H-how can someone actually do something like this?! It's too exaggerated!"
Hearing his companion's words, the young man called Ryosuke pinched his waist hard, which made him let out a pig-like scream, and at the same time, he believed that the scene in front of him was really happening.
"It seems it's true, Sohei."
Swallowing his saliva, he ignored Sohei, who was clutching his waist and squatting down. They were kitchen assistants in this kitchen, and they came so early to help the Chef with some preparations before cooking.
But they didn't expect such a person to be standing in the kitchen!
"Are you the chefs in charge of this kitchen? I'm here under the instructions of the proprietress to make breakfast for everyone. My name is Hoshino Sora, you don't need to be too formal."
After being busy for a long time, once everything was ready, Hoshino Sora finally had time to breathe, then looked at the original staff who had been standing behind him for who knows how long.
"Hello, Master, my name is Hanyu Ryosuke."
"My name is Yamato Sohei."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's self-introduction, the two boys who had been standing for who knows how long said their names to him with admiring faces, their eyes sparkling.
"Ryosuke and Sohei, right? Hello, I've set timers for all the dishes here, so you don't need to worry about them anymore.
Later, could I trouble you to help me bring out the finished dishes? I need to go wake up my girlfriend."
The other party's eyes lit up when they saw him, and Hoshino Sora was the same. It was rare to have two ready-made tools; it would be a waste not to use them. This was a good time for him to go wake up Megumi.
By the time the two rushed back, the dim sum would be almost ready.
"Okay!"
"Master, you can rest assured, we will help you bring out the dishes. This is our job anyway."
Hearing that the cooking master had a request for them, Ryosuke and Sohei exchanged glances, then nodded in unison. After seeing Hoshino Sora's miraculous performance, they were utterly impressed by him!
"Thank you. I made enough for many people, so you two should take some to eat later."
Hearing that the two accepted his arrangement without any hesitation, Hoshino Sora's face showed a smile. He had to say, they were indeed two useful tools.
"Thank you, Master!" *2
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Sohei and Ryosuke exchanged glances, both seeing joy in each other's eyes. Being able to taste the dishes of a chef of this caliber, they had no regrets even if they died!
"Don't call me Master, just call me Hoshino."
Correcting their address, Hoshino Sora left the kitchen directly and walked towards Tadokoro Megumi's room. Pulling open the sliding door, she was still lazily lying in bed, her face showing peace and tranquility.
Was she especially at ease after returning home?
