In the kitchen on the first floor of the second floor, Ika, who is wearing a middle ninja vest, wears a snow-white apron and is handling the ingredients in her hands. The silver-white short-haired little Lori on the side also stood on a bench and stirred the broth in the pot with great effort, looking so funny and cute with a height of less than 1 meter.

Although Yinbei is 10 years old this year, the wide white apron is extremely gentle on her petite and thin body of less than 1 meter, the hem of the apron completely covers the soles of her feet, dragging on the floor, and her small and cute cheeks are staring at the boiling and tumbling soup in the pot, the corners of her mouth are tightly pursed, but the movements are very soothing and skillful.

Reaching out with a soup spoon that was almost as long as her arm span, she laboriously scooped out a little bit of soup, skillfully poured it into the small white dish held in her left hand, her pink lips blew cool air slightly, and after tasting the salty taste, her little head nodded slightly, put the brass pot lid on, jumped off the bench, and a series of actions looked extremely cute, just like a child wearing adult clothes.

Lifting his apron that was dragging on the ground, Ginbei walked over to Tenma, who was stirring up the food, and stood there silently without speaking.

"Beat four eggs, cut two tomatoes and give me a plate by the way." Tenma felt the little guy behind him, and was not surprised, and ordered directly.

Ginbei's housekeeping abilities are completely beyond Tenma's expectations. This little guy who is only 10 years old actually cooks well, compared to Er Shao, who can't cook at all, and the little fox who can only make a mess, it's not a little bit stronger.

In the kitchen, only Pegasus, Ika, and Ginbei are busy. Although Sakura and Toyo can also cook, they are obviously not as skilled as Ginbei, and the kitchen space is not large, so a few little girls were driven directly by Tenma to the living room to sit and drink tea.

Watanabe and Er Shao are also more paralyzed in the living room, only the little fox is secretly in the kitchen, and from time to time he steals some dishes that have been prepared, with random oil stains on his snow-white little face, big sapphire eyes purring, and his little hands are stuffing food into his mouth.

"Smack!" Tenma put the dish in his hand into a plate, handed it to the silver guard standing aside, swept the corner of his eye to the little fox who was stealing food, and without thinking about it, he directly hit the blonde stupid little Lori who was pushing her head down with a spoon.

The little fox was startled, raised its little head, its small mouth was full of food, its cheeks bulged, and its big dark blue eyes looked at Pegasus in panic, like a little beast frightened while eating.

Swallowing the food in his mouth with difficulty, the snow-white slap face showed a big smile as if pleased, and the little fox who was caught was a little flustered.

Angry and funny, he looked at the grease stains on the blonde stupid little face, noticed that the little fox had some panicked eyes, Pegasus did not punish Ming Xue, and reached out to help the little guy wipe the oil spots on his face, reached out and handed her a pair of chopsticks, and looked at the stunned little fox with a smile, "Don't use your little paws!" ”

The little fox took the chopsticks in a daze, and the big beautiful blue eyes blinked twice, looking at the Pegasus who had turned around, I don't know what Lu Dao was doing, and I always felt that my little heart was a little flustered, and the thick spoiling in the eyes of the Tianma after being caught made her a little stunned.

Mingxue has never been a guest at someone else's house, and even Ika-sensei only often invites her to eat Ichiraku ramen, this kind of behavior of watching her companions busy in the kitchen, like a little mouse, secretly eating is completely the first experience, with a unique and strange sense of warmth.

Especially after being caught by Tianma, the doting attitude and action eyes brought the little fox an uncontrollable impact, and the little heart churned with a strange wave, flustered, soft, warm, and full. This is a feeling that Naruyuki has never experienced.

The sky is above, to be honest, Tianma didn't notice that he was actually the same age as the little fox, what a violation of this kind of action, Tianma with an adult mentality just saw the cute little fox, and his fatherhood was big, and it was completely like looking at his own children and nephews, so he didn't care about that series of behaviors without any awkwardness, and he didn't care about it after doing it, and immediately turned around and was busy with his own affairs, only the little fox was still stupidly holding chopsticks and froze there.

Looking at the few people busy in the kitchen, the air was filled with the smell of food, and a strange thought flooded into the little fox's heart, which seemed to be ...... Family?

Toika and Ginbei's blessing, a large table of dishes has been prepared in less than an hour, beckoning the people in the living room to put the food on the large table in the living room, full of fragrance.

Chinese cuisine is made by Tianma, a few simple home-cooked dishes, spicy tofu, tomato eggs, sweet and sour pork, braised tenderloin, spicy chicken, sauce beef, and the rest are Japanese dishes made by Ginbei and Ika, sashimi, saury in tomato sauce, curry meat skewers, and a few cold dishes, rabbit broth, mashed potatoes, which are very hearty.

This housewarming banquet is not the usual meal sharing in Japan, but all the meals are put together.

After each of them were seated, Tenma smiled and took out a few bottles of shochu from behind him, shaking the porcelain bottle in his hand, "Does anyone want to try it?" ”

"Yikes! How can you drink! You're underage! Birdie was the first to object, and his good-looking eyes stared at the Pegasus who didn't learn well.

Ignoring the clamor of the little bird tour, after opening it, he poured a glass for Ika and himself, and then put the wine bottle in the center, "Whoever wants to taste it, don't drink too much!" ”

"Hey~ who's going to drink it!"

"Ahem...... Tenma ignored the taunt of Little Bird You, straightened his body, cleared his throat and began the housewarming banquet with a serious thank-you speech, "Thanks to the deep affection of all the guests and friends, we will gather here again to celebrate the new members moving to their new homes." ”

"First of all, on behalf of the new members of my family, Saruto Ginbei and Uzumaki Naruyuki, I would like to extend a sincere welcome to all of you!"

Everyone was stunned, but they were about to speak but held back, and did not interject immediately, their eyes flickered slightly, waiting for the end of the speech, and the surging soul of complaining had awakened!

"Today, the Humble House has prepared a little water, wine and thin dishes for a banquet, and I hope everyone will come together to share the happiness of the new home. I hope you can drink happily and share the joy. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will continue to pay attention to the development of our family, and continue to care for the growth of each member of our family. ”

"Finally, I announce the official start of the He Qian banquet, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I sincerely ask everyone here to bear with me!" After speaking, don't wait for everyone to speak, raise your glass first.

The crowd full of doubts and complaints gritted their teeth, and helplessly lifted the drink and watched Tenma pour the sake into his mouth.

After the first congratulations, everyone finally fired.

"What do you mean by a new member of your family?!" Xiao Niaoyou fired first, "Are you supposed to be marrying?" ”

Tenma unhurriedly poured himself a glass of sake, the taste of the wine was a little bland, but there was a fragrance, and after pouring it into his mouth, he glanced at the little bird, "Isn't this my home?" Aren't Ginbei and Naruyuki living in my house? Isn't this a new member of the family? ”

Then he winked at the bird with a wicked smile, "Or ...... Thinking too much? ”

Birdie was choked by Pegasus's blushing face, and his eyes were a little flustered, "Who...... Think...... Thinking too much...... I...... You ......"

"Ha~" Tenma smiled smugly and poured himself another glass, Japanese sake vessels are very small, and each glass is only half a sip at most.

"What's going on with Mingxue? How did you become a new member of your family? Sakura blinked, a little strange.

"I'm going to ask Ika-sensei!" Tenma was a little uncomfortable, and he was running out of money in his pocket, "Aren't you worried...... Then Mr. Ika suggested that Xiaohu ...... Forehead...... Mingxue has moved to me, too! Therefore, it is simply counted together, and the province will hold a congratulatory banquet tomorrow. ”

"Mingxue-chan doesn't seem to have said yes or no!" Xiao Bird You immediately retorted, and the chopsticks in his hand poked and poked.

"Then, does Mingyuki-chan agree?" Tenma turned to the little fox sitting across from him, a little stunned.

"Huh? Oh! The little fox, who was a little stunned, raised his little head, stuffed his mouth with food, blinked his big eyes ignorantly, and replied blankly.

"Look!" Directly raised his chin at the bird, Pegasus smiled a little wilted, why did the little fox feel more and more cute? If you use food, I wonder if you will be trained to be a pet in the future?

Watanabe and Er Shao didn't pay attention to the verbal swords of a few people at all, each holding a pair of chopsticks and eating delicious food by themselves, occasionally drinking a little juice drink, very leisurely.

Well? Why didn't Ika-sensei speak? Tenma then noticed that Ika hadn't spoken since she sat down, and looked at her right side in some surprise.

Ika's ponytail was slightly scattered, her cheeks were red, her eyes were half-squinted like water, she sat lazily on the chair, her delicate nose twitched slightly, the corners of her mouth smiled silly, she was drunk, and there was still half a glass of wine left in the glass on the table with her right hand hanging down.

"Drunk in half a glass?!" Pegasus said with a strange twist.

"I didn't ...... Not drunk! It's just a little dizzy, it's very comfortable~" Ika raised her flushed cheeks slightly, and said lazily with her eyes half-closed.

"Would you like to try it?" Tenma looked at the crowd and shook the porcelain vase in his hand.

Everyone gave Tenma a blank look, didn't speak, and was still trying to eat.

Is it really that delicious? Tianma was a little strange, noticed that most of the dishes that everyone ate were made by Yinbei, and he was a little surprised, picked up the chopsticks and ate a bite, his eyes widened instantly, and he buried his head and hurriedly grabbed it with everyone.

Only the silver guard sat in the large chair, took two bites lightly, glanced around with big eyes purring, and secretly poured a glass of Ika's sake while everyone was not paying attention, and tasted it with a squinting face full of happiness.

End of Chapter 22.
