A tale of a Married couple cooking
"Ah-ha!" Hiyori closes her eyes and shakes her head as she hears a knife harshly strike the cutting board.
"Let me help you with the cooking," At first Hiyori was happy with the idea cooking alongside her wife, but now she is regretting the idea as Kanami while admittedly making good progress on slicing the vegetables is also threatening to split the cutting-board in half with her strikes. Hiyori looks to her side just as she raised the knife she's using above her head, and the flinches the moment Kanami swiftly swinging downward splitting a carrot clean in half as well as making a decent-sized cutting the board. "It will be fun to help you out," Hiyori is regretting listening to her wife's words more and more with each sword-like swing Kanami makes with the knife.
"Why don't you go play outside?" Hiyori suggests before her wife could make another swing and succeed in splitting the cutting-board clean in two.
"But I thought I could help you out," Kanami replies with a puppy dog look that Hiyori has to turn away from to resist in order to protect her kitchen.
"It's fine. I can take things from here," Hiyori assures her spotting her aviation the form of a wooden sword laying next to the back door."Why don't you practice your swings while I put everything in the oven."
"Okay," Kanami's eyes light up with the idea of some time with a sword, and she quickly drops the knife and runs out of the door.
Hiyori watches from the window as her wife quickly starts going through the motions of several sword swings enjoying the view before getting back to work. There has always been some force that steals Hiyori's breath whenever she watches her wife swing a blade as she finds her eyes glued to Kanami as her muscles flex as she goes through every motion.
Finally, though Hiyori has to force herself to look away from her wife even though the light of the setting sun is hitting her wife perfectly. "I still have a lot of work to do," Hiyori sighs as she gets back to her own work and looks over to see what she has left to finish from Kanami's share of the preparations. "At least she got most of the things I asked her to do done." Hiyori smiles as she notices that although Kanami may not have been cutting the vegetables up correctly at least, her wife managed to get through all but a few of the vegetables in the bowl she handed her.
"Hey, mummy," Kanami turns and softly smiles as the little girl who she and Kanami adopted walks into the room looking more grown-up now that she has her Minoseki and the sight of Chidori in the hands of another one of its academy students brings back fond memories for Hiyori. "Can I help?"
"You can finish chopping up those vegetables for me," The young girls face lights up like Kanami's as she quickly sets to work unfortunately though…
"Ah-ha!" Hiyori barely has time to pick up her own knife before she hears her cutting board being sliced in two and when she turns around Hiyori is shocked to see that her daughter used Chidori to slice the vegetables instead of picking up the knife left behind by her wife.
"Why don't you go and play outside dear," Hiyori gently smiles while internally she is trying to think of a way to protect her kitchen from the two sword-wielding maniacs she has come to love.
