Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Enjoying the shock wave, they came downstairs to Miki Okudera's house. Hojo Kyousuke parked his motorcycle and the two went upstairs together.

"Actually, regarding the sauce last time, I have made new improvements and made a sauce to go with tempura."

Standing in the elevator, Miki Okudera shared a piece of good news with her investors.

"Tempura?"

In fact, Hojo Kyosuke couldn't understand why people in the neon Kanto region like to eat tempura with sauce. Wouldn't the tempura that was originally fried to be crispy, and the delicious coating become soft after being dipped in the sauce?

Based on this, when Hojo Kyosuke eats this dish, he either doesn’t dip it in anything, or like the Kansai people, he chooses dry dipping sauces such as sesame salt and sansho salt.

"Yes, just like the sauce in Western food, for neon people who like to eat the original taste of food, the sauce of tempura is also equally important."

"That's true."

Although he doesn't eat it himself, Hojo Kyosuke doesn't intend to say much about other people's preferences. If there is a good tempura sauce, Okudera Miki's unopened restaurant will also have a new sign.

"Speaking of this, my cousin told me later that thanks to your sauce, the business in the store has improved a lot, and there have been a lot more beef orders here in Tokyo."

"Really, I wish I could help."

Listening to this happy voice, Hojo Kyosuke turned his head and met Miki Okudera's eyes. Under the white light of the elevator, that pretty jade-like face was filled with genuine joy.

"What, Kyousuke, are you still worried because you didn't help me get a more favorable plan last time?"

"It's a little bit, so when my cousin asked me to express my gratitude to you, I refused directly." Hojo Kyosuke said.

"It's a pity, otherwise Kyousuke would have invested more in me."

Hojo Kyosuke knew that the pity the other party said was not because of money, but felt that it would slightly reduce the care in his heart.

"Actually, I recently drew a comic. If it goes serialized, I will soon be able to earn enough money to invest in your restaurant, Okudera-senpai."

"Manga?" Okudera Miki raised her head, her amber eyes suddenly filled with curiosity.

"Well, I plan to serialize it in a magazine. I'll send it to you when I get home."

That's right, apart from your own belly, the main motivation for making money is Okudera-senpai's side. As he said before, how can a restaurant in a place like Meguro District be worthy of Okudera-senpai's cooking skills? If you want to open a restaurant, it must be in the golden area of ​​the six wards of the city.

Entering the familiar apartment, Okudera Miki took out a pair of blue slippers and handed them to Hojo Kyosuke.

"I bought it new before. I roughly estimated your size and don't know if it will fit you."

Hojo Kyosuke unexpectedly took the slippers and put them on, which were just right.

"Okudera-senpai has such a good sense."

"Haha, as long as it suits you, sit down and rest for a while while I cook."

Smiling, Okudera Miki took Hojo Kyosuke's coat to the bathroom and hung it up, waiting to be washed later.

Hojo Kyousuke sat on the sofa, picked up the books on the table that he had not seen last time, and looked through them casually. Each book was filled with notes. There was also a piece of paper with something that looked like a recipe written down on it. Hojo Kyousuke picked it up and started to read it, but after thinking about it, he thought that this kind of thing was not something that could be read casually, so he put it down again.

But then he thought, wouldn't he have to show the unpublished manga to Okudera-senpai later? It's all about this, and he doesn't need to worry about this little thing.

It's not a suspected formula, it's just a formula.

The above is the most basic tempura sauce recipe that Hojo Kyosuke once learned, using mirin, soy sauce, sugar, etc. and grated radish.

Then there is a dense table below. Each row states what spices have been added and what spices have been removed. What special feeling is added? Is it optimization or deterioration? What are the ways to improve...

"Okudera-senpai is really working hard." Although I couldn't understand it, I did feel the serious drive.

Miki Okudera, who was cutting vegetables in front of the stove, raised her head when she heard this and saw Kyousuke Hojo looking at her recipe list. She raised her hand and used the back of her clean hand to remove the hair that had fallen to her forehead and covered her eyes. , and then said with a smile:

"You can't let your investor's money go down the drain, right?"

"It seems that I must seize the time to make money. I can't let entrepreneurs run out of food and grass." Hojo Kyosuke also said with a smile.

"I'm not worried about this at all."

"Then so do I."

Hearing this, Okudera Miki looked at the other party's gentle eyes and smiled sweetly.

In less than half an hour, Okudera Miki prepared three side dishes. It is still a must-have tempura suitable for drinking wine or cola at night, as well as a plate of sashimi and a plate of green-looking kimchi.

"Okay, the No. 1 tempura sauce promotion meeting has officially begun. Investors are invited to taste it."

Saying this, Miki Okudera handed over the chopsticks with both hands.

"Ahem, then I'm not polite." Looking at the naughty smile on the other person's face, Hojo Kyosuke said in a similar manner.

Picking up a piece of classic prawn tempura and quickly soaking it in the brown sauce, Hojo Kyousuke chewed it a few times and swallowed it eagerly.

"Delicious! Put it to use immediately."

This is not a lie, because he was fast enough, so the sauce had not had time to soak the dough and soften it. The prawn tempura, which originally only had the taste of the ingredients itself, was suddenly tainted with the taste of the sauce. The fresh shrimps The unique sweetness is fully brought out by the slightly salty sauce.

"Haha, can Kyousuke taste what special something is added to this sauce?" Okudera Miki covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed softly.

"Well..."

As he spoke, Hojo Kyosuke's eyes slowly drifted to the recipe sheet next to him.

"You can't cheat."

Okudera Miki raised one hand and shook her white and slender index finger.

"It's most likely green, smells like plant slurry, and has a special aroma." Hojo Kyosuke savored the taste remaining in his mouth.

"I really can't guess any more."

"That's amazing! Is this Kyosuke-kun the God's Tongue in the comics?" Miki Okudera said in surprise while applauding.

"Haha, did you guess it right? By the way, there is also the comic I mentioned before, I forgot to send it to you." After saying that, Hojo Kyosuke took out his mobile phone and sent the comic to Okudera Miki.

"Really, I'm not reminding you to read comics to me." Although she said this, Miki Okudera immediately took out her mobile phone.

"You guessed it right, it's the juice made from grinding perilla leaves."

"You actually used the perilla leaves that were originally used as ingredients as seasoning? What a wild idea." Hojo Kyosuke also applauded.

"Haha, it took me many, many attempts to discover that perilla leaves are surprisingly good when added to sauces. There are still many areas that can be improved. The plant slurry flavor Kyousuke-kun mentioned is one of them. Some people like that. Taste, but many people are not used to that taste. Also..."

Looking at the girl opposite who had countless words to say whenever she talked about cooking, and whose amber eyes glowed with strange light, Hojo Kyousuke picked up a piece of tempura from an unknown fish and put it into his mouth.

After a long time, Hojo Kyosuke almost finished the entire plate of tempura, and Miki Okudera, who was opposite, finally stopped talking with a blushing face.

"I'm sorry, Kyosuke, I can't stop talking about it. You probably don't like hearing these things, right?"

"Yeah~" Hojo Kyousuke shook his head:

"Not at all. Although I don't understand, the food in my mouth becomes more delicious when I look at the energetic Okudera-senpai."

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated."

Hearing this, the smile on Miki Okudera's face became even sweeter, light seemed to be flowing on her plump lips, and her pink face became more beautiful.

"It's not an exaggeration. Didn't you see that I almost finished such a large plate of food?" Hojo Kyosuke pointed at the table.

It seems that Kyousuke-kun said this the day he first arrived at the Garden of Words, right? Does it really taste better when you watch me eat? How is that possible? Haha, he is such a person who can make girls happy.

"Okudera-senpai, won't you come and eat together?"

"It was originally prepared for you. Just eat as much as you want. I just happened to read your comics." Miki Okudera raised her phone and gestured.

"Then I won't be polite."

Looking at the boy opposite who started to devour food again, Miki Okudera lowered her head and read the manga.

I wonder if the comics will become better looking at him?

…

"So full." Hojo Kyosuke put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"Kyosuke, your appetite is so great no matter how many times I watch it."

Miki Okudera exclaimed as she looked at the pile of empty plates that had even been eaten up with the sauce.

"Hahaha" Just smile at this time, and it's not because of the dandruff system.

"Would you like me to prepare some more for you?"

"No, no, I'm a little worried about indigestion." You can eat it, but it's not necessary.

"In that case, do you want to go for a walk together? You can just listen to my thoughts about your comics."

Hojo Kyosuke looked at the clock on the wall. It was past nine o'clock.

"OK."

Well, actually checking the time is just a habitual action. No one can really refuse to go shopping with such a beauty, right?

"Can you please Kyosuke, please wait for me outside for a moment. This clothes just smells like oil smoke, so I have to change into another one." Miki Okudera said a little shyly.

"OK"

Even if there is a curtain on the side of the bed that is used as a bedroom, it is still inappropriate.

Hojo Kyosuke came to the door, closed it, and lay on the guardrail of the corridor looking at the scenery outside.

This single apartment is basically rented by nearby students because it is very close to the school. Now standing in the corridor, I can see the brightly lit classrooms in the school not far away, as well as the pedestrians on the campus.

Should I also go to a women's university in the future? No, women’s universities don’t seem to recruit boys, right? But maybe the other party just restructured and wanted experimental male students, right?

"Kyosuke, let's go."

Okudera Miki's voice came from behind, and Hojo Kyousuke was amazed at this efficiency.

Turning around, he was once again surprised by the other person's appearance.

The upper body is a pale pink long-sleeved dress with puff sleeves, and the hem of the dress is tucked into a dark red knee-length skirt. On her feet are a pair of red leather shoes with round toes, and even her hair has a new hairstyle. It was originally simply tied into a braid, but now it is made into a bun with hair accessories. A few strands of hair are floating outside, in the yellow corridor. It seemed to emit a faint fluorescence under the light.

"Let's go."

It seems that the beauty of a girl's makeup is not directly proportional to time. Looking at the beautiful girl looking up at him, Hojo Kyousuke had the urge to bend his arms and let her hold hers.

Thanks to the big guys for your rewards and monthly votes. I just learned that there are double monthly votes this month. You can save your monthly votes and vote again later.

If something happens later, I will update in advance. I will update at nine o'clock in the future.
