I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 2 2. The New Witch
Seeing Rui Ji standing at the door in a daze, Jingliu temporarily stopped cutting vegetables, and pointed at the carrots and potatoes next to him.

"Sister, I'll leave it to you to clean and peel."

These two are classic side dishes of Japanese curry, and the lack of one of them will make the taste of the curry dull.

Simple tasks such as cutting and peeling vegetables can be replaced by magic. Jingliu is as stubborn as the elderly in some aspects, such as cooking must be done by yourself to have a soul.

Having a soul is one of the reasons, the real reason is to save mana and avoid being a person who only depends on mana.

Her dead mother had taught her that a witch should not know anything but magic.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the kitchen of this family - no food can be cooked with magic.The sisters were trained to be "immersive" since they were young, imagining themselves in a state without magic power, hungry, and had to rely on traditional skills to survive like ordinary people.

Cooking is a very meaningful and practical course, and Witch School has also been established for a long time.

"I can also chop it up for you by the way."

Rui Ji turned on the water valve to wash the soil from the potatoes and carrots.The unwritten rules of the family had inadvertently provided cover for her, and she hadn't yet recalled how to use the washing magic.

"Forget it, sister, you can't cut vegetables when you grow up, and you always cut them with your hands. You have to use magic every time to cut them neatly. Such vegetables have no soul. If you cut them with bare hands, you will definitely cut them like this." Good vegetables are spoiled."

The younger sister didn't believe that she could really complete such a difficult task, and she was merciless when she complained.

However, the current Rui Ji is not the same as before.

Not to mention cutting and washing vegetables, some well-known Japanese dishes will definitely not bother her, and she is also proficient in many home-cooked dishes, and she has also dabbled in Western food.

It is absolutely impossible to show off these skills all at once, and it will arouse suspicion.

"If you don't believe me, just look at it. They say 'Farewell for three days, treat each other with admiration'. I also worked hard to learn how to chop vegetables in the cooking class. Don't look down on me, Miss Sakuma Shizuru."

"Ok."

Be prepared to be disappointed, and you won't be disappointed.

Jingliu knew that her sister couldn't make a big splash, so she turned her head and continued to cut the chicken into cubes.The kitchen knife at home is a bit blunt, and it is very inconvenient to cut bone-in meat.

"I'll go to the yard to sharpen the knife first. You'd better not blow up the kitchen, or you won't have pocket money for next month."

The younger sister's tone is not like a 16-year-old girl full of youthful vigor.In addition to her immature appearance, her way of doing things is very mature. There are few girls of her age like her.

It is said that children from poor families are in charge early, and Jingliu's every move perfectly interprets the true meaning of this sentence.

"By the way, don't touch the onion, I'll do it myself."

"know."

Although she was very verbose, Rui Ji didn't find it annoying.

It has been a long time since no one has been nagging or chattering in her ears. People are very contradictory creatures. They don’t cherish something when they have it, and understand its value only when they lose it.

In the previous life, his parents passed away one after another, and there were no other brothers and sisters in the family.After the death of my parents, I often did not communicate with my relatives, and lost contact over time.Rui Ji has experienced loneliness for many years, but now she only feels joy and warmth.

Waking up to pick up a lovely younger sister for nothing, I really can't think of anything other than obedience.

Obedience is obedience, there is nothing less to do.Handling food is a basic human skill. If you can't even do these things, it will bring great trouble to your survival.

In a sense, witches are humans with magical powers, and it is impossible to avoid the key content of eating.

In the process of peeling potatoes and carrots, Rui Ji "remembered" some important things.About the laws of this world, and how witches are born.

Witches are a very special race, which appeared in the Asuka Nara era in Japan. At that time, witches were mutated from traditional Japanese witches.It is impossible to know which country the world's first witch came from. She is the source of all witches' birth, probably at the end of the Yayoi period in Japan.

The composition of Japanese witches is more complicated and can be divided into two types.One is to combine with the western witch, go to the floating island above the Pacific Ocean to make sincere prayers to the tree of origin, wait for the sun to rise under the tree, and drink the morning dew to give birth to mixed-blood offspring, the other is internal digestion between local witches , give birth to offspring in the same way.

This way of continuing offspring is different from that of humans. The offspring of the witch come from the gift of the tree of origin.

Of course, a witch doesn't have to combine with a witch, and she can also choose ordinary humans.But witches are very particular about the purity of their bloodlines. Most of the witches with impure bloodlines have weaker magic power than pureblooded witches, and they will also be discriminated against among witches.

As we all know, witches are the most noble race in the world, occupying an absolute dominant position, even the most famous daimyos in the Warring States Period of Japan - Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, everyone is brave and good at fighting witch.

The world is moving forward under the rule of the witch, and the witch civilization is the mainstream of the world.

As one of the many witches, Rui Ji is quite looking forward to a new life, and her peeling hands are brisk.It is not a bad idea to get rid of the feathers of the previous life, start a new life as a witch, and walk to the gate of the new world.

"Since there is no better choice, we can only let nature take its course."

Rui Ji is still not quite used to the body of a young witch, her delicate hands, her light-white arms, everything can only be described as beautiful.The water in the sink reflects her delicate face, no matter how many times you look at it, you will be fascinated.

"Why do I look so healthy..."

She is like Narcissus in "Greek Mythology".Since Narcissus saw his beauty reflected in the water, he couldn't walk anymore, and finally he was depressed and died by the river, becoming a daffodil.

These two things are different in nature, Rui Ji will not die because of admiring her beauty, and will live the beautiful life she dreamed of in her previous life.

Resisting the urge to use magic to test the water, she cleaned the vegetables in the sink, peeled off the skin with a paring knife, took a light kitchen knife from the wooden knife holder, and cut the vegetables into uniform sizes of blocks.

The benefits of rebirth are fully reflected, not only the skills from the previous life are inherited, but even the skills possessed by this body can be used, reflecting the effect of 1+1>2.

Then, Rui Ji cut the onion into fine shreds with a skilled knife, and put them into the plate.

The rice is cooked in an old rice cooker, and a series of white water mist is sprayed out from the vent hole. The sweetness of the rice makes people feel kind.The eating habits of the Japanese are very similar to those in China, and life without rice is incomplete.

She is very glad that she traveled to Tokyo in the witch world line and became a Japanese witch who can eat hot meals every day, instead of a European and American witch who can only eat bread every day.If you are unlucky and become an African witch or an Indian witch, you can only eat "clean and hygienic" finger food, which is scary even thinking about it.

"This is the last piece—"

Rui Ji finished cutting a whole onion, washed the kitchen knife with clean water, and found that the chicken hadn't been cut well.Seeing that the rice is about to be cooked, the longer you let them stay in the rice cooker, the drier and harder the taste of the rice will be.

The lovely younger sister is busy with various things every day, and the memory in her body tells her that she must do something to relieve the former's pressure.

Just cutting a piece of meat, it's not a problem for her, a newly promoted beautiful girl witch.Although she hasn't practiced magic for two and a half years.

When Jingliu came back after sharpening the kitchen knife, she found shredded chicken and diced vegetables neatly placed on the chopping board, and her lazy sister was rummaging through the refrigerator for curry cubes.

Obviously, he didn't care about this kind of thing before.In addition, she also found a problem, Rui Ji had never cut vegetables so neatly as now.

"Wait, did you use magic? I'd rather believe that mosquitoes are extinct than that you can cook. You...could it be that you fell in love with a witch in the class and performed bride practice at the request of the other party? Ready to start a family after graduation?"

Jingliu only felt a chill.

Such a sister is too scary, even scarier than the S-rank monsters living in the narrow room.You must know that the S-level ghost story is the most dangerous category, and it is not as scary as Rui Ji, who suddenly became "normal".

"I just... want to try the skills I learned from the chef witch in the cooking class, and show off a little bit. I usually read food columns on the Internet, and the witch gourmets I follow often share cooking tips, so, I See more and learn faster.”

Rui Ji knew that she was a witch now.

Not only is he beautiful, but he is also very talented in learning things. It is reasonable to use talent as an excuse.

"That's right, you don't spend so much time with me every day, it's not surprising that you learn something unexpected."

In this regard, Jingliu was not overly suspicious.In her opinion, Rui Ji just didn't want to learn, not that she couldn't learn.Rejoiced to be relieved, there was still no flaw on his face.

"I'm going to make curry sauce next, sister, don't get in the way in the kitchen, clean the yard when you have time."

"Yes--"

Rui Ji was kicked out of the kitchen, and went back to get her own broom.

The witch and the broom are always inseparable. When she was watching "Little Witch Academia", she also imagined that one day she would become a witch and ride around on a broomstick.

Opportunities are at hand now and must be enjoyed.

The classic sitting method is to sit astride, and the broomstick looks like it will hit you, but it doesn't.It is as soft as a car seat cushion, and there is absolutely no strange feeling when sitting on it.

When the tail of the broom touches the ground, the flight mode will be released. Just pick it up and place it in the air, and the broom will automatically suspend, waiting for its owner to sit on it.

"It feels pretty simple."

Putting the broom away and keeping it at a height that he could easily sit on, Rui Ji took advantage of the static flow and flew away from the courtyard to the sky above.

This was the first time she overlooked the entire Sakuma Shrine.
