This Uchiha Itachi is very lonely

"This smell...is weird..."

Itachi could clearly notice that Artoria's eyes lit up after she felt her taste after teleportation.

A person who was originally lifeless suddenly became warmer.

"It's really hard for normal people to accept this taste."

"But in a sense, it actually tastes good."

"I've never seen that bugs can be delicious food."

Like a ferret, she commented on this delicacy with a hint of surprise and curiosity in her tone.

Hearing the change in Arturia's tone, Itachi couldn't help tearing apart the cake on the table, "Then try this again."

"Sword Comes"

Miqin couldn't see Artoria, but after Itachi unpacked the cake, she handed over a plastic knife and a few plastic forks in a timely manner, "Here are the knives and forks, and I will leave the job of cutting the cake to you, Itachi .”

"Didn't it mean... two kinds of food can't be eaten at the same time?"

Jiu Xinnai looked at the two in confusion.

"Because I remembered that I was wrong."

Mikoto said casually, and took the cake itachi handed over.

As a pregnant woman, she didn't want to try dishes at all.

"But speaking of it...you and Minato don't plan to have a child?"

Mikoto sat down next to Itachi and asked, "Minato is running for the fourth generation recently. If he can be elected, then he can work as Hokage and be permanent in the village."

"At that time, he will also have time to take care of you."

"Since you also want to retire as a housewife, children are very important. If you have a child, the family can be more lively."

Jiu Xinnai seemed very enthusiastic about this topic, and was immediately drawn away, "He and I have been thinking about it, but you also know that my situation is very complicated, and I have to report it to the village in advance... ..."

Mikoto and Jiu Xinnai were chatting about women's topics familiarly.

Kakashi was sitting by the window unrequitedly, eating something from the bowl unconsciously while reading a book.

Artoria, who was originally sitting next to Itachi, stood up because of Mikoto's seat.

Itachi turned his head inadvertently, and glanced at Artoria standing beside him.

At this time, her face no longer had the expression that she felt the smell of food just now, but returned to a very calm look.

She seemed to be used to this kind of thing, standing quietly by the sofa and not disturbing them.

Artoria is a very special existence in this world.

She comes from another world, which seems out of place with this world.

Sometimes, she can touch the sofa, touch the ground, stand on a branch, and even need someone to open the door to enter, just like a substantial person.

But sometimes, when she touches these objects, she will pass through like a spirit body, and besides Itachi, no one can see her at all, and no one can hear her voice.

This situation prevented Artoria from being able to integrate into the ninja world.

At least... Itachi often felt she was far away.

Even sometimes rather than blending into this world, what she seems to do more often is to be alone in a daze.

Itachi knew very well that she was looking back on her previous life alone.

"How does this cake taste?"

Itachi used a knife and fork to pick up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth, feeling the sweetness in his mouth while conveying this feeling to her.

"Ok!"

Suddenly, Artoria's eyes lit up again, "What a soft and tender bread, completely different from the rough bread in our country."

"And it's topped with strawberry cream, which is very special."

"It seems to be different from our cream."

As she spoke, she unconsciously stirred her mouth with her tongue, as if she was also eating and reminiscing.

Hearing her happy tone again, Itachi was silent for a moment, "Then I'll eat more."

As he ate, he conveyed to her the feeling of the food falling into his mouth.

Whether it's the sweetness and sourness of the strawberries, or the sweetness of the cream on the cake, he conveyed it verbatim.

For a long time, I seemed to have ignored her feelings.

Obviously she was standing beside him, but he was the only one who could see her.

Obviously she is in this world, but only she knows about it.

Obviously she is a person who understands herself better than her father and mother. She taught herself how to communicate and how to care for others.But he actually forgot to care about her and take care of her feelings.

Can just the taste of a piece of cake make her so happy?

Itachi felt really guilty.

For a whole cake, he solved half of it by himself.

If Arturia hadn't reminded him to pay attention, he would have almost eaten the whole cake.

It's not because I love sweets, but I just want her to feel more about this world, so that she can have a souvenir in this world.

"Itachi, you ate so much cake in the afternoon, can you still have something for dinner?"

On the way home, Mikoto asked Itachi softly.

"certainly……"

Itachi nodded, "Mother, I will increase the amount of practice recently, so please help me prepare enough food."

"I'll cook as much as you want, but don't push yourself too hard."

Miqin reminded him.

"I understand."

Itachi replied calmly, without explaining anything.

Since the physical training started, his food intake has almost increased several times.

The digestion ability brought about by a strong body allows him to fully absorb and transform the energy he ingests into the essence, qi, and blood that his body needs...

But in the past, Itachi was unwilling to waste more time on eating.Therefore, it is often intuitive to use a large amount of medicinal materials to supplement the qi and blood in the body that has been lost due to cultivation.

But now... he wants to eat more.

On the side, Artoria seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and also reminded: "Compared to supplementing with pure medicinal materials, it takes more time to decompose, absorb and transform the incorporated food."

"You don't have to waste your practice time because of me."

Itachi shook his head, "Although my digestion ability has been enhanced due to the improvement of my physique, if I can exercise effectively while eating, I may be able to improve it alone."

The implication is that this is also part of the practice.

That being the case, Artoria no longer refused.

But maybe it's because the interaction between minds is becoming more frequent.Although she followed their steps smoothly on the surface, Itachi could feel that she was actually very happy in her heart.

Happy with the taste of the food.

Happy to actually touch something of this world.

Although in this process, she still needs to pass through such an anchor point as herself.

Chapter 42: 【Thank you, Hui】

"Itachi... are you sure you can eat that much?"

Uchiha Mikoto stood in the kitchen, frowning as she looked at the so many ingredients Itachi bought home, "It's a shameful thing to waste food."

"I understand, please."

Itachi nodded, indicating that he could eat it.

As a matter of fact, when the porcelain plates filled with big fish and meat were served on the table, Miqin also saw what Itachi said "need to add more energy".

"Sword Comes"

Sitting at the dining table, Itachi held a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, with a calm expression on his face.

Facing the dazzling array of food in front of him, Itachi is like a musician waving a baton in front of a symphony orchestra. The knife and fork in his hand is his baton. Music" in front of myself, and eat them all!

Whether it's beefy beef bones, umami-flavored crabs, or tender steaks, they will be perfectly picked out into edible pieces before his eyes.

And even the marrow fluid in the bone marrow, he will not let it go, the sharp blade in his hand is attached to the chakra of the wind attribute, and it is easy to cut through the hard bone.

Mikoto sat across from Itachi, staring blankly at his elegant way of eating.

Before, she hadn't noticed much, but felt that Itachi's meals were a bit cumbersome.

There are knives and forks. Occasionally, when encountering hard shell seafood, scissors are needed.

Obviously, the crab meat and shrimp meat can be sucked out with the mouth.But he just insisted on using tools to take out the food cleanly and then eat it.

Compared with a ninja, she used to think Itachi was more like the nobles she met when she went to Kyoto City to perform missions in her early years.

Complicated etiquette, exquisite elegance, slow and lazy pace of life...

But today, Mikoto saw a different side of Itachi eating like this.

There is a lot on the table, but he also eats very quickly.

While the speed is fast, it does not lose etiquette and beauty.

Meiqin has never felt that eating alone can be so... interesting...

Yes, compared to the movies in the cinema in the village, compared to the performances during the celebration, she actually felt that watching her son eat was particularly comfortable!

Mikoto felt strange for such a thought that suddenly popped up in her mind.

Compared with the aristocratic temperament accumulated with time, manpower, and material resources in the capital city, she actually found that her son might be more suitable to be called a nobleman.

That kind of innate nobleness is unimaginable for a ninja who was born in the Uchiha clan and will fight on the battlefield in the future.

and many more……

But suddenly, Meiqin realized what she had overlooked.

Wind Chakra?

She stared wide-eyed, looking at the knife and fork in Itachi's hand in surprise.

On it, there is a layer of light blue chakra attached.

The sharpness brought by the wind attribute is perfectly displayed on this knife and fork, allowing Itachi to handle various ingredients with ease.

That is indeed a change in the nature of the wind attribute, and depending on the extent, it has reached the second stage!

A five-year-old child has mastered the nature changes of Chakra!

"I'm full, mother, take your time."

Itachi didn't delve into what his mother was thinking.

After he finished his meal quietly, he picked up his own bowl, dinner plate and the residue on the table, and walked into the kitchen.

Beside him, Arturia looked satisfied.

"I didn't expect those ingredients to have such cooking techniques."

She is still reminiscing about the sense of taste that Itachi passed to her just now, "Your mother's cooking skills are deeper than those of our kingdom's royal chef."

"The beef bone soup just now, both the smell and the taste are amazing!"

"However, rather than salty, if you can add some spiciness to it, it might be more suitable..."

She gushed toward Itachi sharing her thoughts.

For the king who was in a famine period, the rich and colorful delicacies of the Uchiha family made her feel yearning.

But Itachi didn't ignore her opinion, and replied from time to time, talking about his thoughts on those foods just now, and chatting with her.

When he finally realized that Arturia might feel lonely and out of place in this world alone after the kingdom was destroyed, he paid more attention to her feelings patiently and carefully.
