K423 from Dark Souls

Mei took the bamboo basket that Ms. Sakura handed her, and took a look at the ingredients inside. There were only a few radishes, bamboo shoots, and a small piece of meat inside.

"...Let's prepare first..."

Mei first stuffed the firewood into the stove, lit the fire, then picked up the bucket in the kitchen, poured some water into the pot, and began to prepare boiling water.

While waiting for the water to boil, Mei took a kitchen knife from the cutting board and began to process the ingredients briefly. By the way, the rice was cooked in the rice pot in advance.

Yayi holds the root of fresh bamboo shoots with his left hand, grabs one side of the cut surface with his right hand and pulls down, peels off all the bamboo shoots at once, and removes the bamboo nodes and the hard skin on the roots with a kitchen knife.Leaving the tender part inside, cut it into similar sized pieces and stacked them aside.

The processing of radish and meat is not as complicated as bamboo shoots. Yayi used a specially treated bamboo slice in the kitchen to peel off the skin of the radish, and then cut it into large pieces.

The piece of meat was first cut into small pieces with a knife, then put the piece of meat into a plate, and then poured some soy sauce into the meat to marinate.

After the water in the pot boiled, Meiyi put the bamboo shoots cut into sections into the boiling water, and when the bamboo shoots were half-cooked, Yayi took out the bamboo shoots, and then cut the bamboo shoots into pieces filament.

"Miss Mei, I'm back, have you peeled off the skins of the ingredients...Huh?"

After Mei cut the bamboo shoots into thin strips, Ms. Sakura brought back the processed fish, and then asked Mei.Immediately afterwards, I saw Mei, who had a strong aura, and those processed ingredients.

"Miss Sakura, give me the fish, I'll deal with it later."

Mei stretched out her hand to Ms. Sakura, involuntarily wanting to take the fish in her hand.

"Okay... okay."

Mei took the fish, spread the fish flat on the cutting board, and used a knife to make deep cuts in the gills and behind the tail of the fish.Then he opened the incision at the lower part of the fish's gills, slapped the fish's back several times with the blade of the knife, stretched his hand into the incision, and slowly pulled out a white thread.

"Miss Sakura, take a rest first, and leave the rest to me. I am quite confident in my cooking skills."

Mei skillfully cut a few deep cuts on the fish's body, allowing the fish's body to spread out on the cutting board.Then he opened his mouth and said to Miss Ying, and pointed to a small bamboo stool in the kitchen.

"Miss... Miss Mei, this..."

"Miss Sakura, don't worry, dinner will be ready soon."

Mei made an OK gesture to Sakura, and then prepared all the dinners during the 20 minutes that Miss Sakura was dumbfounded.

Those who were shocked were not only Ms. Sakura, but also Rin who wanted to see her sister cook.It was the first time she saw such a powerful person in the kitchen.

"Okay, Ms. Sakura, dinner is finished, let's take out all the dishes and ask Xiao Lin to eat together..."

Mei served the dishes, greeted the somewhat sluggish Ms. Sakura, and waved her hand in front of her eyes.

"Ah... sorry to trouble you, Mei-san..."

Sakura got up from the stool, she didn't find a chance to help Miss Mei just now, as if she was a superfluous existence in the kitchen.

"It's okay, Ms. Ying should hurry up and call Xiao Lin to eat, it's getting late, so hurry up and finish the meal, and go to bed early."

"OK, all right."

Chapter 45 Kallen being supported

"Miss Carlin, it's your turn to control your body, it may hurt a little, bear with it."

Aurora felt that her grasp of Karen's body was beginning to weaken, she said to Karen, and finally detected the situation of the monster.

"Miss Carlin, that monster is not completely dead yet, so be careful."

"Understood, Miss Aurora."

Karen's consciousness returned to her body, and the moment she could control her body, Karen's body trembled unconsciously.

"Well...!"

The severe physical pain rushed into Kallen's senses, and even though Aurora had told her in advance, she almost couldn't help but yelled.

"..."

While Kallen was fighting the severe pain in her body, she suddenly noticed that the body of the headless monster that fell on the ground began to move slowly.

"Miss Karen, its core is in the chest."

"...understood!"

Karen used what seemed to be a broken hand, and dismantled the curved sword made of the Fairy Bow in her hand into two pistols.Then he activated the second mode of the gun without hesitation.

"Full power on!"

The muzzle of the Fairy Bow split open, a large amount of energy gathered and condensed in it, and then the fiery light beam shot towards the slowly climbing monster, piercing through the monster's chest, and shattering the core together.

The headless monster's body shook twice, and then fell to the ground. The color of its body quickly turned gray, and then began to collapse.

"You idiot! Why do you have to rush over alone, why do you have to face danger alone!"

Karen yelled at Yae Sakura in her arms, her expression very angry.And Yae Sakura was suddenly treated like this by Kallen, and her expression was a little dumbfounded.

"Because... because, you were hurt..."

"I don't want to trouble you...and...protecting the village is also my mission as a shrine maiden..."

Kallen suddenly stretched out her hand and flicked Yae Sakura's head, causing Yae Sakura to hold her head in pain.

"Stupid, you will no longer be alone in the future. I will fight with you and protect your village together. Do you understand?"

Yae Sakura stared blankly at Kallen's handsome profile, fell silent for a moment, and then answered Kallen in a low voice.

"Well... I see..."

Hearing Yae Sakura's whispered answer, Karen suddenly relaxed.And as Karen relaxed, the severe pain in her body surged up again.But this time, Kallen couldn't hold on, she fell to the ground holding Yae Sakura.

"Karen, how are you doing?!"

Yae Sakura hurriedly got up after Karen took her to the ground and checked Karen's situation.

"I'm fine...lol..."

Karen quickly answered Yae Sakura's words, but she couldn't get up from the ground anyway. The shame in her heart made Karen's cheeks stained with a layer of blush.

'I just said such a handsome line, but I fell to the ground so suddenly...It's over! '

"Don't move around, let me see your injury!"

Yae Sakura pushed back Karen who was about to get up from the ground, and then stretched out her hand to lift Karen's clothes.Where the bandage was wrapped, it had been dyed bright red.

"It's okay, it's really okay!"

Kallen hastily pulled her clothes back and covered the bandages, but she didn't know that Yae Sakura had seen her cracked wounds.

"Don't discuss my wounds, those villagers...what should they do...we can't let them stay here like this..."

Karen's expression became a little serious. She pointed to the wreckage of the villagers who were tentatively called corpses, and asked Yae Sakura in a heavy tone.

"...tonight, I will gather the people of the village, come here and bring them back to the village...at least...I will bring them home... "

Yae Sakura carefully avoided Kallen's injuries, helped Kallen up from the ground, and walked down the mountain with Kallen.Explained to Kallen.

"I also......"

"no!"

Karen just wanted to say that she would also come to help, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yae Sakura.

"You are still a wounded person, the injury has not recovered, and you have experienced such a fierce battle today. I will never let you continue like this, don't care about your body!"

"I......"

"No! Go back and rest obediently!"

Yae Sakura, who seemed a bit weak just now, became stronger, making it difficult for Kallen to refute her words, and finally she could only nod obediently, agreeing to Yae Sakura's rest arrangement.

Yae Sakura supported Karen back to the village. At the entrance of the village, Teresa was standing in front, waiting anxiously.

After Teresa saw the two people who had returned, Teresa moved her two short legs and ran towards them, trying to help Karen.

And Yae Sakura saw Teresa running over, so she handed Karen to her, and told Teresa seriously.

"Take Karen back to the shrine to rest first. Be sure to keep an eye on her and don't let her run around. Please, Teresa."

"Good...good!"

Seeing Yae Sakura's serious expression, Teresa quickly took Karen from her, and then helped Karen to leave in the direction of the shrine.

And Yae Sakura began to gather people in the village to go up the mountain with her and bring the remains of those villagers back to the village.

back in time

Theresa asked the owner of the mask stall about Yae Sakura, but the boss was only vague and told Theresa some information she knew.

"Sakura, she used to have a younger sister named Rin. She ordered this mask from me, and it was for her younger sister."

"younger sister?!"

Under the stall, the boss dug out a mask and handed it to Teresa.

"Sakura said that just now, I can't just take out this mask directly. Since you also came with Sakura, why don't you just take this mask away."

"Don't worry, it's free...bring it to Rin...she should still be in the shrine's backyard..."

Teresa took the mask, and secretly remembered the place in the backyard of the shrine, then thanked the boss, turned and left the stall, and ran back towards the shrine.

"Backyard...Backyard..."

Teresa returned to the shrine, the shrine was quiet and there was no one there.This made Teresa feel at ease in the shrine, looking for the backyard where the 'sister' was.

"Eh?! It's Ms. Sakura!"

Teresa suddenly saw Yae Sakura, and she hid in the corner with some guilt, waiting for Yae Sakura to leave.

"That is?!"

Teresa suddenly found that Yae Sakura walked in along a path that she hadn't noticed before.

"Wait for Ms. Sakura to come out first, then go in quietly to have a look..."

Theresa sat in the corner and waited for Yae Sakura to come out from inside. While she was waiting and was about to fall asleep, Yae Sakura with slightly red eyes came out from there, and then left the shrine.

"Take advantage of it now!"

Theresa tiptoed onto the path, and then followed the path to a yard. In the center of the yard, a cherry tree was planted.And under the cherry tree, stands a stone monument.
