Shimizu Toru changed into slippers that were clearly just taken apart from their original shape, and nodded, saying, "I see, it feels like my nickname has become my real name—is the kitchen over there?"
"Yeah, but I haven't used it much, so the kitchen utensils might be a bit dirty."
When I went into the kitchen, the situation was not bad. Everything that needed to be covered was covered, and the dishes and chopsticks were in the cabinets. Only the range hood was a little dusty.
"If you get bored later, why don't you use your phone to record a video for me? I've been planning to make a vlog."
"You want to teach Chinese cooking? Then please let me be your assistant!"
The kitchen wasn't big to begin with, and with Lily coming in at sunset, they could bump into each other even if they just turned around.
Shimizu Toru then realized she had been hasty, but there was no going back on her word, so she could only focus on cooking, explaining as she went:
"For rice, after rinsing, the water level should be just up to the first joint of your finger. If you have a small amount, you can use a little less water."
"Next, we'll process the ingredients. Chicken wings need to be soaked to remove the blood, fresh pork belly can be cut directly, while frozen pork belly needs to be blanched."
Today, Shimizu Tou is going to cook four dishes for Sunset Lily: Mapo Tofu, Cola Chicken Wings, Braised Pork, and Steamed Egg with Minced Meat.
Considering that the videos were mainly for foreigners, it would be too much to ask them to learn how to caramelize sugar, so he opted for an unorthodox method—using cola for coloring.
In fact, cola chicken wings are simply cola instead of caramel coloring, and can naturally be used on braised pork as well.
Incidentally, Pepsi works better than Coca-Cola because Pepsi is sweeter.
"Remember to use only warm water for steaming eggs. After beating the eggs, skim off the foam. If you find it troublesome, you can also burn the egg ring with a lighter. Remember not to tell anyone I told you this."
All four dishes, including the braised pork, are lazy versions. As long as you follow the steps, the chances of something going wrong are extremely low. The only problem is that someone might have a sudden flash of inspiration.
Fortunately, Westerners strictly follow recipes when cooking, and they use timers to tell you exactly how many minutes to cook.
Once all the dishes were on the table, Lily immediately switched to her camera and snapped a bunch of photos from various angles.
Shimizu Toru wasn't surprised at all; after all, these days, letting the phone eat first is as natural as making a mistake for Nagasaki Motoyo.
Unbeknownst to him, after taking the photos, Lily immediately posted them in a small group chat for girls who didn't have him in the picture.
[Sunset Lily: Toru personally cooked a Chinese feast for me~ Every dish looks so delicious!]
[Rion Takamiya: You two! When did you all get together?!]
[Shiina Yuika: I never expected Toru-kun to be able to cook! Now I can't help but be tempted.]
[Parent's comment: The older sisters are really...]
[Lilim: You've moved fast, haven't you? It's already gotten this far?]
[Rion Takamiya: No way! I can't give up! It's just cooking, Tohru will definitely be willing to make it for me!]
[Sunset Lily: By the way, Toru will be livestreaming from my bedroom tonight~ Maybe we should just let him stay overnight~]
[Takamiya Rion: Huh!? You, you actually ran away!!]
[Sunset Lily: Oh dear~ Tou's urging me to eat quickly, so I'll have to stop chatting with you guys now~ Bye~]
[Rion Takamiya: Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!]
[Takamiya Rion: Toru isn't really staying overnight at Lily's house, is he?! No way!!]
[Green Fairy: Tou-kun, you really are a deeply sinful man.]
Green Fairy in front of the screen couldn't help but wonder, just how beautiful could Shimizu Tomo be to have captivated Yuhi Lily and Takamiya Rion like this?
How about we organize an offline collaboration project sometime?
Volume 1: Chapter 55 As Long as You Swing the Hoe Well [Bonus Chapter]
Lily of the Sunset would never invite Toru Shimizu to stay overnight, lest she scare him away.
First, they gradually build a closer relationship as friends, and then with just a little accident, the two of them can break through the constraints of being just friends.
We've only known each other for a short time, and we've already progressed to the point where he can come to my home as a guest. That day won't be too far away.
During the evening's "Relay Song of the Kings" segment, Shimizu Toru sang two Digimon opening themes: "Hero of Ultraman" and "Be the One" from Rider Build.
Of the two Digimon opening themes, one is naturally Infinite Buttfly, but he prefers the other one from the third generation, The Biggest Dream.
After all, once you remove the childhood filter, most of the main characters in the original series are practically comparable to Ultraman Leo's MAC team; only Taichi could carry them.
If you don't believe me, look at Taiichi in the manga. Without these drags on, he's unstoppable with a Champion-level V-dramon. Compared to him, the Taiichi in the Taiichi Chronicles is just child's play.
The third generation of main characters is much better, and Gallantmon is so cool, and Sakuyamon is so easy to charge. As for Terriermon, don't bother evolving it; its Ultimate form is indeed just average.
After finishing the song, the broadcast ended immediately. Shimizu Toru took off his headphones and realized that Yuhi Lily was sitting right behind him, on her bed which was covered with several dolls, propping her chin up and smiling at him.
"How was it? No off-key singing or cracking, right?"
Actually, the sound card has a monitoring function. Of course, Shimizu Toru knows how well he sings; he just wants to hear other people's opinions.
When Lily in the Sunset spoke up, she praised him so much that he felt a little embarrassed: "Perfect! You could totally win a singing competition!"
"Um... not really, there's still a lot I need to learn."
Compared to ordinary singers, and those studio singers who can't live without a sound engineer, Shimizu Toru is definitely a cut above the rest.
Even Haruki Toyoshima admitted that as long as he has the mental fortitude, he should have no problems performing in a small live show with a few hundred people.
As for the Budokan and Tokyo Dome, they're a bit too far away from him.
Putting aside whether he has that many fans, he can't even afford the venue fee. It costs five million yen to rent it for one day, and usually it costs 1440 million yen for three days.
However, compared to releasing albums, holding concerts is indeed a sure-fire way to make money. The God of Songs relies entirely on the ticket revenue from more than a hundred shows a year to fill the hole, oh no, the abyss, that his wife has.
"By the way, you said yesterday you wanted to move, have you found a suitable place yet?"
Looking at the time, seeing that it was already past seven o'clock, Lily in the sunset sighed in her heart at how short the happy time was, while casually changing the subject.
"Not yet. After all, I want a small villa with a yard, and I don't want too much rent each month. I also don't want to pay a deposit and three months' rent in advance."
As she spoke, Shimizu Toru herself lost confidence. The agent must have wanted to curse after hearing these requirements.
"Don't be in such a hurry. If you want to hold a concert next time, just come to my house again. We're best friends, after all."
He subtly planted a seed, so that if the other party encountered a similar situation in the future, they would immediately think of his foreshadowing.
Lily didn't seem too reluctant to part with him. After seeing Shimizu Toru downstairs, she waved goodbye to him cheerfully.
"Flirting with boys is really different from flirting with girls. If it were a girl, I would have just hugged her directly."
Back in her bedroom, lying flat on her bed, Lily stroked the cat and muttered to herself, "It's rare to meet a guy I like, I can't let him go so easily."
Although she gets along well with Kenjiro and Fushimi Manabu, she doesn't have any romantic feelings for these two classmates; she sees them purely as close friends and childhood buddies.
Because she had a crush on the older girl next door who often took care of her when she was a child, she unknowingly became the sunset lily of yuri, and is actually a master of verbal sparring.
She has a whole repertoire of flirting techniques, but anyone who tries to take things further will be scared away and immediately distance themselves, just like the later Mountain God Song Ryudo.
Unaware that she was being targeted, Shimizu Toru returned to her apartment, took a shower, and continued her journey of suffering.
Seeing him die so tragically, viewers who became fans of Sekiro after watching his one-life playthrough felt as refreshed as drinking an ice-cold Sprite on a sweltering summer day.
"Hiss~ How about we remove Bell Ghost too? To be honest, it's affecting the gaming experience a bit."
[www, aren't you so great? Keep going, don't be a coward!]
[This is nothing! Can't we still return the amulet to the prince? Go return it quickly!]
Do you know how many times I've seen the word "death" since I got hooked? Do you know?!
"Ahem, what amulet? I don't understand, I've never seen anything like it before."
Are you kidding me? Just increasing the difficulty once and you're already in jail? If you make it double difficult, you'll be in jail forever.
Thankfully, this arduous journey is almost over. Once I finish the game on my second playthrough, I'm definitely going to play Minecraft for a week to heal my wounded soul.
Speaking of which, it seems that after the Rainbow server organized the Ender Dragon hunt in May, its popularity plummeted in the following months.
It wasn't until August, with the addition of Shrimp Warrior and the construction of Rainbow Paradise, that they became active again.
The most popular game in the middle two or three months was—Snow Mountain Werewolf!
The game's official name is "Winter Project," and it's an eight-player online werewolf game, similar to later games like Duck & Goose and Space Werewolf, but with added survival strategies.
With many factors to consider, such as heating, food, and evacuation, plus the presence of an insider causing trouble, the show's entertainment value is naturally top-notch.
The only problem is that the game won't be released until May 24th, so it won't be playable for now.
Despite suffering until 10 PM, Shimizu Toru, who took the Asura route this time, still couldn't defeat the old Isshin.
After another humiliating end to the broadcast, just as I was about to go to the toilet to relieve myself, my hands and feet screen suddenly lit up.
[Hinako Yusen: I've made up my mind! I'm willing to join 2434!]
Shimizu Toru quickly grabbed his phone and typed back, "OK! Then don't rush to leave the company. Gather more evidence against the operations staff to gain an advantage in public opinion."
That's right, a real man keeps his word. Ever since he added Bat Girl on Line yesterday, he's been digging up the wall with his hoe.
Given Shimizu Toru's current status as a first-generation member, coupled with Bat Girl's own strength, Tazumi Riku would definitely not refuse her transfer.
On the other hand, Oda Nobuhime seems to still have hope for her company. No wonder she persisted in the original timeline until the company's funding chain broke and the entire project team was taken down before retiring and reincarnating.
—Her operating company is not A8, where Kizuna AI works; she is just nominally affiliated with A8.
But since we've already poached Bat Girl, why not poach Minamori Ho as well?
As for Nozomi Sato, it depends on fate. With her abilities, as long as she submits her resume, passing the interview shouldn't be difficult.
Why does it seem like you're forming a faction and starting your own independent entity?
No, no, no! I'm just helping them avoid some wrong turns, Shimizu Toru quickly shook his head to convince himself.
---------------------
Tomorrow at 5 AM and 5 PM, I'll start paying back the debt from the day after tomorrow. Please support my first subscription!
Volume 1: Remarks on the launch
Hello brothers, it's been so long since I've seen you all! I've missed you so much!
After several years of ups and downs, I never expected to be back writing for V again. To be honest, I initially started this book just to get full attendance bonuses.
After all, it's 5202 already, who still reads VTuber fanfiction?
But I didn’t expect such a strong response. Although there aren’t many favorites, it might not have even reached three thousand before it went on sale.
The enthusiasm with which everyone voted, threw razor blades, and posted comments really startled me.
This book was originally scheduled to be released next Friday, but as everyone has seen, I've been adding chapters every day and I'm still two chapters short.
Of course, the bounty will not be closed, nor will the price be increased.
I'll still add one chapter for every 50 blades or 5000 reward. If a rich guy smashes a treasure chest, I'll add ten chapters for silver and thirty for gold!
After it was finally published, I was guaranteed three chapters a day. I also wanted to guarantee five chapters a day, but unfortunately, my ability didn't allow it.
It's really burned out, not a single drop is left, and I have to write the ten chapters that will be released tomorrow.
After the two chapters are updated tonight, they will be moved to the front. I hope all my godfathers can help contribute to the first subscription tomorrow. After all, it sounds better to say that there are 1,000 subscriptions.
Thank you—
Volume 1: Chapter 56 Moving House [Please Subscribe Now]
Undermining 774's position was much simpler than Qingshui Tou had anticipated.
But thinking about it carefully, it's already showing signs of being a stalker, so why not just pack up and run away? Aren't they just waiting for something to happen?
This is why, when he said there was a high probability that he could get the other person into Nijisanji, Batgirl agreed decisively after only one day of consideration.
What if a low-probability event happens and Tadakatsu Riku refuses to give Shimizu Tomo the time of day?
At worst, I can just do what the original timeline did, have a suit custom-made by Parry, and debut as a member of the Parry family. Anyway, it's better than staying in the wolf's den.
It's just that "Seoul Spring" hasn't been filmed yet, otherwise, given Batgirl's Japanese and Korean heritage, she should have responded with a loyal orange emoji.
The next day, after a guitar lesson in the morning, Shimizu Toru edited and added subtitles to the instructional video he filmed the day before and uploaded it to YouTube.
On TikTok, each dish is presented separately and edited into four short videos.
I thought the audience would be shocked that I could cook, but when I checked the comments, they were all pprprpr.
Damn it! I told you guys to learn how to cook, and what are you doing staring at my hands like that??
