"I'm back!"

"Huh...... Ernie-chan, why are you so early today, are you skipping work again, ah...... Sister Miki is here too, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

As soon as she entered Lin Shuichi's house, Miki saw Reina running out of the kitchen wearing an apron. It can be seen that Ling Nai should be preparing dinner for Lin Xiuyi.

"It's been a long time, Reina-chan......! Today's situation may be a bit special, so let the police explain it to you later!"

Miki bowed her head and greeted Reina, and then pointed at Lin Shuichi with some embarrassment. And Lin Xiuyi solemnly announced to Ling Nai after changing his shoes:

"That...... One thing I want to explain to you now, starting today, Miki may have to live in our house for a while!"

"Eh, what's going on? ...... you guys?"

"Ah...... Don't think about it, it's all because of work! Let's wait for dinner, by the way, what will we eat tonight?"

"I just prepared a bunch of chicken thighs and vegetables, and I was going to cook them in Chikuzen!"

"Miki, what do you think of Chikuzen cooking?"

"What's so embarrassing, I'm here to keep you safe!"

"Protection......? Is there something wrong, is it ...... Is Ernie in any trouble?"

Hearing Miki's sudden mention of protection, Reina couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked.

"That...... In fact, it is because there have been several cases against police officers in a row recently. So it was decided to let the police stay at home for the time being, just in case. Although it is not certain whether the police department is the target of the other party, because the police department is an elite bureaucrat who has won the police director award, the superiors feel that it is more appropriate for me to be in charge of the personal safety of the police department during this time......! I'm probably going to be bothered a lot during this time!"

"Wait a minute, do you mean to stay here for a while? That's great, now I can let Sister Miki try my craft!"

"That'...... What's so embarrassing about that? I'm on official business!"

"It's okay, anyway...... I'm not necessarily the next target to be attacked, so I'll just ask you to stay here for a few days. Merely...... I feel a little sorry for Aso-kun!"

"The police department still don't think about these things anymore, didn't the Aso police department also express understanding of your situation, besides, now Urashima has also run to the first department to help. You can keep track of the situation over there!"

"Alas...... Although I said that, I have promised others something, but now I have to lose my words, I feel so sorry for others!"

……

Just when Lin Xiuyi was still talking to Miki about work, Reina took the initiative to ask Miki first:

"That...... Miki-san, are you going to stay here tonight?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm told to keep the police department safe 24 hours a day, so I can only ...... It's a bit of a bother!"

"No, no, no, please don't get me wrong, I'm glad you can come to my house, but I don't know if you have anything you need, wait a minute, I'll go to the convenience store downstairs to help you buy it back!"

"Huh, what's that embarrassing......

"Don't shirk Miki anymore, I won't necessarily be the target of the attack anyway, these days, just barely live here and have a good rest!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi say this, plus Miki and Reina had dealt with a few times before, she was a little embarrassed to agree to Reina's suggestion. So next, Reina continued to go back to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Miki carefully checked the environment in Lin Xiu's family according to the process established by the Criminal Department.

The dish for dinner was Reina's carefully prepared Chikuzen cook, which looked like boiled chicken and vegetables, but it was actually a very troublesome dish. In addition to the bonito broth, you also need to prepare a variety of ingredients including shiitake mushrooms, lotus roots, burdock, carrots, bamboo shooters, konjac, taro, snow peas, etc., and finally season them with sake, soy sauce, and mirin. It is precisely because it takes time and effort to cook, so Chikuzen cooking is actually a rare home-cooked dish that you have the opportunity to eat. However, with such a variety of ingredients all gathered in one dish, there is no doubt about the nutritional aspect.

"Sister Miki, this is my first time cooking Chikuzen, I hope it won't be too bad!"

"Thank you Reina, I originally came to work, but I didn't expect to be taken care of by you, it's so rude!"

"You're welcome, I hope my cooking is still to your taste!"

……

When all the meals were ready, everyone picked up their chopsticks and said, "I'm moving!" and savored the dinner prepared by Reina. At this moment, Miki suddenly felt an unreal feeling, as if she had now become a member of the family.

A slice of emerald green snow peas is put into Miki's mouth, and soon your teeth feel the crispness from the fresh ingredients, mixed with the delicious flavor of bonito stock.

"Click!

It is the sound of vegetables being cut off by teeth, and the tip of the tongue is the sweetness of the snow peas and the refreshing flavor of the bonito stock.

After eating a slice of snow peas, Miki picked up a piece of boiled soft taro and put it in her mouth, unlike the snow peas just now, the taro has a soft and long aftertaste. Because it takes the longest time to cook, the essence of the soup is hidden inside. However, the clear consomme of bonito does not take away the flavor of the taro itself. Instead, it retains the flavor of the ingredients themselves while making the dishes more suitable for pairing with rice!

"Sister Miji, the dishes I cook are still to your liking!"

"Hmm...... I can't believe it's your first time cooking Chikuzen, and the taste is simply amazing!"

"You're so awarded!"

"No, I'm not saying anything polite, the dishes made by Reina-chan are really delicious!"

When Miki said this, her eyes involuntarily glanced at Lin Xiuyi. The thought of the police department eating this level of food every night made Miki feel that her level was too bad.

"Drinking beer?"

As soon as Lin Xiu saw Miki suddenly looking at him, he couldn't help but stand up and walk to the refrigerator and asked:

"Ah...... No, you can't drink alcohol at work!"

Miki's face suddenly turned red when she saw Lin Xiuyi noticing the way she was staring at him, and then continued to taste the dishes seriously.
