Chapter 74: Foodie Talk
After they got back to the Itsuka residency, Shido let Tenka take a shower first while he healed all the injury inflicted on his body. It was kind of painful, but thanks to his healing ability, he didn't have to worry about it.
When Tenka was done with her shower, Shido went in there as well.
By the time they both cleaned up their bodies and put on clean clothes, Tenka walked to Shido and asked:
"I'm gonna call Tohka out now. Anything you wanna say before I go?"
"Of course. I love you, Tenka!"
Shido said earnestly.
"I…I know that."
Tenka turned her head away, her face flushed again.
After one second, her personality changed, and the one who took over the body was…
"Shido, are you okay?"
It was Tohka, voicing out her concern for Shido.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shido smiled. "Tenka was holding back for me."
Tohka sighed in relief. She had watched the fight earlier, and obviously she was worried for both of them. But thankfully, they were both okay after the fight.
Since today was Monday and he would have to go to school, Shido changed into the school uniform before taking Tohka to a nearby bakery.
The clerk seemed to recognize Shido and Tohka, after all, they were the only couple who would buy 50 kinako bread for breakfast.
"Still the same?"
The clerk asked with a smile.
"Of course, we want all of the kinako bread, please!"
Shido nodded affirmatively. He was an old customer to them, buying off their kinako bread and helping them make a great profit in the morning.
In response, the bakery also prepared some more kinako bread for them, hoping to make even more money.
Shido didn't mind either. Anyway, Tohka's stomach was limitless.
"Thank you! 10,000 yen!"
The clerk said with a smile.
"OK..."
Shido paid the clerk and picked up the bread. Although it was a little heavy, it was quite easy for him to carry with his physical strength.
"Shido! Shido!"
Tohka looked at Shido with bright eyes, wanting to eat these bread as soon as possible.
"Let's go to the park first..."
Shido smiled helplessly. It was too inconvenient to eat while walking on the street, so he decided to go to the park next to it. The environment there was relatively quiet, and they could sit down and eat slowly.
"Umu!"
Tohka nodded affirmatively, and followed Shido to the park in a hop.
It was around six o'clock, and there were no other people in the park, so the two of them found a very comfortable place to sit.
"Okay! No need to rush, just eat slowly..."
Shido smiled tenderly, and then gave the hungry girl all the bread in his hand. He was eating one slowly himself.
Probably because of the Spirits' powers, Tohka could eat like this all day long without getting worried of gaining weight. If she was an ordinary girl, there was absolutely no way to maintain such a perfect figure.
"Shido...thank..."
Tohka thanked him while eating the bread, but due to the fact that her mouth was stuffed, Shido couldn't hear her clearly. Even so, her meaning was already conveyed.
"Don't talk while eating, let's talk after that!"
Shido was a little worried. Although the body of a Spirit was different from that of ordinary people, they would still choke.
Tohka nodded, and then ate the bread quietly and obediently. When she calmed down, she gave Shido the vibe of an ice old beauty, but with the picture of her eating, this kind of temperament no longer existed.
He still remembered the cold feeling when he saw Tohka for the first time. If it weren't for him taking her on a date, it would be really hard to believe that the dangerous Princess would one day become such an obedient and innocent girl.
Of course, no matter what kind of girl Tohka was, Shido would still love her very much, including Tenka in Tohka's body. However, it was kind of difficult to date her.
In fact, Shido probably understood Tenka's thoughts: Each of the Spirits had only one day to be with Shido, and sometimes he had only half a day for them since he had to go to school. Well, she didn't want to occupy Tohka time, so she hoped that Shido would spend all his time on Tohka.
"Shido! Shido!"
Tohka shouted a little suddenly, this time she swallowed all the food obediently before talking.
"What is it?"
Shido came back to his senses and asked curiously.
"That looks delicious!"
Tohka said while drooling.
"That?"
Shido frowned, only to see that the direction that Tohka was pointing at was the gate of the park, and there was a girl standing beside it.
Seeing the girl's figure, Shido couldn't help but sighed. He met three sisters of hers yesterday, and now he saw the fourth one.
That's right! She was the fifth daughter of the Nakano family, Itsuki Nakano.
At this time, Itsuki Nakano stared at the two of them in a daze. If she remembered correctly, there was a man and a woman eating on a park bench. The man was still Shido, but the woman was different
Is she Shido's little sister?
Itsuki Nakano made a guess. In her opinion, it was impossible for a man as gentle as Shido to cheat on his girlfriend,, and this girl didn't look as lovey-dovey as the one from last week…
Therefore, Itsuki Nakano concluded that they must be siblings.
She chuckled when she heard what Tohka said just now, looking at the meatbun in her hand. It was the meat bun that she cherished very much, even if her sisters wanted to eat it, she would not simply give it away.
But just for once...
"Want to try it?"
Itsuki walked toward Tohka and handed one of the meat buns to her.
"Really?"
Tohka looked up at Itsuki with expectant eyes. She was a foodie just like her and understood how precious the food she liked was.
"Of course!"
Itsuki chuckled lightly, then stuffed the meat bun in Tohka's mouth.
"This is so delicious..."
Tohka said while eating. It seemed that she forgot what Shido just told her since she was overwhelmed by the yummy meatbun.
Itsuki nodded with satisfaction and decided to recruit Tohka to be the first member of her Meat Bun Sect!
"You wanna try this too?"
Tohka handed a kinako bread to Itsuki, taking the initiative to ask for a courtesy exchange. This was also the first time Shido saw her sharing her beloved food with other girls.
"Uh..."
Itsuki was a little hesitant. In her mind, if the buns had no meat, they would have no soul. How could this kinako bread be more delicious than the meat buns?
But she still accepted it since she acknowledged the other party's kindness, and then took a bite…
"What is this smooth flavor and soft texture!?"
Itsuki couldn't help but exclaim. She didn't expect the kinako bread to be so delicious!
And Shido, who was on the side, was stunned. He didn't expect the two of them to be able to talk like this. A conversation between foodies? Hell yeah!
