A Foreigner's Chat Group

Chapter 16: Magician

"You two, do you really want to eat outside? I can just cook, you know."

"That won't work, Nii-san. You should relax too."

"But I am relaxing sometimes..?"

Right after training, Shinji and Sakura pulled Shiro to have fun outside. At first, he was about to refuse, but then he realized that he hadn't gone outside with the kids.

Well, he went outside every night just so that he could explode more cuisine. That, and some ingredients to bring back to Terra. Bland food is something he could not tolerate after all.

Once they went outside, a driver is waiting for them. Then, the driver spoke to Shinji, the son of the family head. After the trouble was settled, everyone else in this house acted normally. Everyone except Byakuya, though. 

He got locked up at his own room, with only his name of use to the official papers.

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning."

"Where would you like to go?"

"That cafe we used to visit."

"Understood."

*****

"Now I know why you used to keep coming here."

Shiro tasted the stuffed baguette in his hands. He can tell that the owner of this shop is a master of cooking, perhaps possessing an expert level cooking mastery.

The bread has the right texture and softness while the fillings are of great taste as well.

Meanwhile, Sakura got her hands on a stack of pancakes while Shinji got the usual english breakfast.

"This is delicious. Why isn't there much customers here?"

"We don't know. It might be that the owner never bothered to do an advertisement, aniki."

"Really? But he's much better at cooking than me."

Hearing this, they were startled a bit. Honestly, they found his cooking better than this. Whenever they took a bite of his food, they almost got dragged in an illusion.

Sometimes, they even thought of using his food as a weapon!

A food that pull others into a reality marble. Once they're stunned, it'll only require a final hit to defeat their foe.

"Your cooking is still more delicious."

"That's right."

"You guys..."

A thought popped up his head. While he's cooking, he made sure to adapt each dish based on their liking. Sakura loves sweet things while Shinji liked it more savory. That's why he only used the dishes that he cooked by the book only as a reference.

Once he knew their tastes, he adapted each meal to their liking. It felt just like doing magic, which felt enjoyable to him.

After having breakfast, they strolled around the city. Since it is a coastal city, they opted for seafoods during lunch. They've also done a bit of shopping and visited some places.

Evening came and they had another seafood dinner yet again. Shiro and Shinji thought of a good place to end their trip until Sakura suggested that she had wanted to see the seaside.

"The sea breeze surely did feel like her..."

"Nii-san..?"

"It's nothing."
