Chapter 37: The Offline Meeting Begins
Chihuo leaned back in his chair and looked up at the sky, his chair rattling.
Then the door was opened, and there was a group of people standing there.
Qiang Chang Qiang โ
"Hello hosts! Welcome back! โ
Oh, here they are. Chihuo deliberately pretended to be casual and looked near the entrance.
One by one, a group of girls walked in.
Red Fire hasn't seen Kirino Takasaka yet.
Well...... Sure enough, they all looked relatively plain - although it would be rude to say that, many of the girls in that group were not very good-looking.
There are also some people who wear clothes that look like cosplay...... Well?
- Wow, there's a guy who's curious!
Although I already knew it, this was indeed Chihuo's heart. This kind of statement may be considered rude, but who can say that after seeing "that", who can say that about Chihuo?
Chihuo stared at the girl who led the group in.
Red Fire Look...... First of all, she's tall, very tall, in short, very tall.
She's at least 180 centimeters, right? If you have such a tall height, you will be considered a supermodel...... But her costume is also very amazing, and she knows that she is an otaku girl at a glance.
She wore a headscarf around her head, round glasses, the hem of a plaid long-sleeved shirt tucked into her pants, and a large backpack.
And in that backpack, there are also posters rolled into a cylinder.
โฆโฆ In a nutshell...... She's a girl who wears a "standard otaku outfit" like you'd see on TV, and then looks like a supermodel.
I don't feel it like watching anime yet, but the reality is in front of me, and no one is surprised.
Even Chihuo himself couldn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him, and Chihuo could only believe in his own eyes.
At this height, this girl doesn't play basketball, but becomes an otaku, is this really reasonable?
Oops, because Chihuo was so surprised that his throat was dry.
Alas - Tokyo is a scary place...... Chihuo finally saw it.
Because his thoughts were quite confused, Chihuo gulped down his drink and tried to calm his emotions.
On the other side, Kyosuke Takasaka also seemed to be surprised, feeling even worse than Chihuo.
But Chihuo didn't have the heart to care about anyone else at all, so he turned his gaze back on.
In front of his gaze, the tall girl that Chihuo had just mentioned, Saori Bajina, was talking to the maid, "I have reserved a seat in the next place......
The maid responded without changing her face: "Yes, may I ask what your name is?" โ
"Saori Bajina."
Poofโโ! Kyosuke Takasaka, who was drinking water, squirted out all the water, and then he kept coughing against his throat: "...... Evil...... Cough cough ......"
Chihuo glanced over there, unsurprised by this reaction.
It's completely understandable that reality contrasts too much with imagination.
Even if the brain supplement is subtle, it does not match the cooking itself. Cooking, then, is nothing more than an empty thing, and it doesn't really resonate.
Chihuo, who has gradually realized this recently, has long ceased to pursue pure brain supplementation, but focuses on a higher perspective.
The countless failures in the virtual kitchen, from the "dark dishes" that have not been presented to reality, have already made him more able to grasp the essence of cooking.
If it weren't for that, Red Fire wouldn't have been able to create new dishes of his own one after another.
By the way, he seems to be a little distracted, blaming that guy Kyosuke Takasaka.
When Chihuo looked at the entrance again, Takasaka Kirino clasped his hands on his chest and said, "Why do you want to attract so much attention, I'm going to kill you!" He looked at Kyosuke Takasaka.
Apparently, Chihuo already has the answer. The appearance of Kyosuke Takasaka, Takasaka Tong is even less aware of it, and further information needs to be further checked.
By the way, there is also a certain Aragaki Ayase on the other side, who doesn't seem to notice the small turmoil caused by Kyosuke Takasaka at all, but has been maintaining a low air pressure, and the whole person vaguely makes people feel that there is an illusion of black gas, and it is more out of place with the surroundings than Takasaka Kirino.
That's right, that's the way it is.
It's not just Aragaki Ayase, but actually Takasaka Kirino is also out of place with the surroundings, just the difference between worse and worse.
"Otaku Gathering!" The members are all slightly plain girls, or dressed in cosplay clothes, and sure enough, they are all girls who seem to be very stable, and almost no one dyes their hair.
In the midst of this crowd, there is a model (hair dyed) of Teen Magazine, who strives to dress up very fashionably - of course, it will be very eye-catching.
And Aragaki Ayase, who is standing next to Kirino Takasaka, is not only dressed in an indescribably strange low pressure, but also wears a very high-end fashion. Even if you don't dye your hair, the difference between other otaku girls is still clear at a glance.
This made Chihuo, who was watching from a distance, feel embarrassed for them when he looked at it.
Led by the maid, the group of girls moved into the store one by one.
As they continued to sit down, the offline gathering of the "House Girl Gathering" over there officially began.
is no different from the original plot, Takasaka Kirino was completely independent. Even if she still has Ayase Aragaki by her side, it doesn't make any difference.
Yes, at this time, Aragaki Ayase, who had fallen into a blackened state of mind, seemed to be in some kind of despair and entanglement, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to Takasaka Kirino at all.
Obviously they are still standing together, but it is as if they are two worlds.
This made Chihuo realize that Takasaka Kirino still had the East Window incident.
Maybe she was so excited that she inadvertently slipped out of her mouth, so that Aragaki Ayase knew the truth.
Ayase Aragaki was already in a bad mood because she was going to participate in the otaku online gathering, so it was not difficult to understand that she was completely blackened and broke out.
didn't leave on the spot, and after experiencing Chihuo's deception and forcible acceptance of apprentices, he finally made progress.
The limitation of the task is another reason. Although Aragaki Ayase was reluctant to be Chihuo's apprentice, he was still reluctant to lose his cooking talent, so he forced himself.
Therefore, this network gathering belonging to Takasaka Kirino and Aragaki Ayase still failed as the original plot.
At most, just one more.
Kirino Takasaka, who is about to cry, and Ayase Aragaki with a completely gloomy face, these two people stand together, and they can be regarded as forming an alternative landscape.
"I've kept you waiting~ The curry made by my sister is here, and the master ......" The maid's voice came.
At this time, the three portions of Chihuo's food were finally on the first serving, and I believe that the second and third portions will come up one after another soon.
It's just that he doesn't have much appetite anymore.
The tastelessness of food is what it means now.
The unexpected appearance of Kyosuke Takasaka made Chihuo not focus on food for a long time. And Saori Bajina's appearance made him no longer in the mood to eat.
The performance of Kirino Takasaka and Ayase Aragaki also did not go beyond the original plot, so it was impossible to reappetize the red fire who had expectations for it.
Mood is really the key to influencing cooking, so the effect of brain tonic will be so obvious. At this moment, Chihuo's understanding of the heart of cooking has taken a step further, and he has also gained a little more understanding of the recipe of "Sweet Steamed Buns".
It's a pity that it still seems to be a little bit close, and it still can't be done now.
Chihuo couldn't help but sigh.
The difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles, and that's what it says. Although it seems to be only a little close, it is still far from completion.
