Truth is everywhere within range

When she opened her eyes, Kitashirakawa Rika saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

"here it is"

Kitashirakawa Rika was still half-asleep and half-awake. She saw that the electric lamps in the Aragami Palace were different from the candles. They were not wooden, but a pure white ceiling.

And the girl hanging upside down from the ceiling?

OxO

Kitashirakawa Rika's expression suddenly changed.

Hanging upside down?

Wait, why is the nightgown not turned over? Is there something wrong?

Or is it that he is actually the one on the other side?

Kitashirakawa Rika was confused and looked to her side.

Next to him, there was a bed, and sleeping on the bed was a black-haired girl.

Then, under the bed, there was another person.

"!!!"

Kitashirakawa Rika was shocked.

But after taking a closer look, he realized that the person was Suzuka.

"Qiao Sang, Suzuka can't eat anymore."

He was still mumbling such sleep talk.

Why is Suzuka under the bed?

Kitashirakawa Rika wanted to get up, but found that she couldn't move at all.

"Huh?"

She moved her hands and feet, but she only felt a heavy force suppressing her, preventing her from getting up.

"The quilt sealed me?"

Kitashirakawa Rika thought of nothing and lowered her gaze.

A face appeared on her chest.

Ariko was holding Kitashirakawa Rika with a peaceful sleeping look.

"Teacher, yes, please launch."

"?"

What is she talking about? She was dreaming about practicing kyudo, right?

Kitashirakawa Rika pushed Ariko away with difficulty before finally completing the work of getting up.

By the way, I am at Qiao Sang's house.

Kitashirakawa Rika regained her memory.

She had not yet adapted to this sudden change, and the life in the Abandoned Sacrifice Palace seemed like yesterday.

Well, it was indeed yesterday.

Anyway, Kitashirakawa Rika stood up and looked around the room.

So lively.

But, what about the Qiaoqiao people?

Kitashirakawa Rika didn't notice Qiao Qiao's presence. Recalling her experience last night, she couldn't help but blush.

Kitashirakawa Rika had forgotten how she fell asleep, but Qiao Qiao was indeed very disciplined and stayed in the sleeping bag without doing anything strange.

Feeling relieved, but with a little regret, Kitashirakawa Rika fell into sleep and didn't wake up until this morning.

She put on the slippers with bunny decorations that Sayoko lent her and walked out of the room.

Still on the second floor in the corridor, Kitashirakawa Rika heard the sound of a kitchen knife chopping vegetables on a chopping board from downstairs.

“It smells so good!”

Following the scent and walking downstairs, Kitashirakawa Rika saw Qiao Qiao who was busy in the kitchen.

He mixed vegetables and meat fillings, as if preparing to make pasta.

"Huh? Kitashirakawa Miko, are you awake?"

Qiao Qiao quickly noticed Kitashirakawa Rika behind him.

Kitashirakawa Rika was still wearing a two-piece pajamas, looking very homely. Even Qiao Qiao couldn't help but take a second look at her.

"Is there something on me?"

Kitashirakawa Rika looked at herself, and suddenly realized how she was dressed. She turned away and sat at the table in the restaurant.

"You can go wash up first, they will all wake up later."

Qiao Qiao took out a stack of dough, weighed it and put it on the chopping board.

"OK."

Kitashirakawa Rika washed her face cleanly and picked up her toothbrush.

It's not as cumbersome as in Ise Jingu. If it were at the shrine, just bathing and changing clothes after getting up would take a long time.

And Kitashirakawa Rika has always wanted to play this.

What she held in her hand was the electric toothbrush prepared by Qiao Qiao, which Kitashirakawa Rika had only seen in books.

After pressing the start button, the toothbrush made a buzzing sound. Although she had already experienced it once last night, Kitashirakawa Rika still felt excited.

Putting the toothbrush into his mouth, Kitashirakawa Rika found the subtle vibration feeling very novel. Although it was just an ordinary brushing of teeth, it had an extraordinary feeling.

Kitashirakawa Rika walked out of the bathroom and found that Ariko had also woken up.

Sure enough, as a miko, getting up early is already engraved in your instinct?

"Teacher, teacher, what is for breakfast today?"

Yalizi looked behind Qiao Qiao, looking at the dough and meat fillings.

"ravioli."

Qiao Qiao said simply.

Hearing this, Kitashirakawa Rika came over curiously.

I saw Qiao Qiao using chopsticks to put a small ball of meat filling into the middle of the dough, and with a slight grasp, it turned into an irregular-shaped wonton. He placed it on a chopping board that was sprinkled with flour to prevent it from sticking.

He moves so fast it's almost hard to see.

Not to mention wontons, Kitashirakawa Rika has only heard of and never tasted dumplings.

Of course, she also read a lot of related food books.

Although I have never tried it, I have tried it many times and I am very confident.

"Kita Shirakawa Miko, do you want to try it?"

Seeing the two of them looking at him so seriously, Qiao Qiao asked.

"Oh? Can I?"

Kitashirakawa Rika was a little overwhelmed and took the dough and chopsticks from Qiao Qiao's hand.

She followed the same example and got a piece of meat, put it in the dough, and tried to squeeze it.

However, because I couldn't control the force, I directly crushed the thin dough.

"Look at me."

Seeing this, Yalizi also picked up a pair of chopsticks, put a large ball of meat into the small dough, and squeezed it hard.

Pfft——

The dough explodes.

"."

Ariko and Kitashirakawa Rika looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing the friendly relationship between the two, Qiao Qiao felt relieved and continued to make wontons.

thirty minutes.

The girls got up one after another, and even Suzuka was woken up by Kiriye.

After a while, six people gathered at Qiao Qiao's dining table.

Qiao Qiao and Sayoko sat at the two ends. On his left were Suzuka and Kiriye, and on his right were Ariko and Kitashirakawa Rika.

Six bowls of wonton noodles with crystal clear soup base were placed quietly on the table.

Kitashirakawa Rika looked at the others timidly until Sayoko clasped her hands together.

"I'm gonna start now."

The others clasped their hands together, whispered, and picked up their chopsticks.

Kitashirakawa Rika first filled a wonton with a spoon. Although it looked like a random shape, after being heated, it showed a different kind of beauty.

She blew on it and brought it into her mouth.

!

"tasty!"

Kitashirakawa Rika's eyes lit up.

She had never eaten food that felt like this.

The meat filling does not appear loose, but is very chewy. It has obviously been kneaded for a long time. The dough is very thin, allowing the soup to penetrate into the meat, and locking in the umami flavor of the meat itself.

I thought the clear soup would be light, but it had a rich flavor in my mouth.

The sea-flavored shrimp and seaweed are mixed with the meaty aroma, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

The noodles are also quite springy, which is very different from regular Japanese ramen.

Unknowingly, Kitashirakawa Rika had eaten all the wonton noodles in the bowl.

Not even the soup was left at all.

"How about it?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

"Yeah, delicious!"

Kitashirakawa Rika said with a smile on her face.
