In the weird second dimension of killing gods

"I didn't have space before, but later I moved to a bigger house and wanted to grow something on the balcony, but I was too busy to do anything."

"I also asked Arisaki-san for advice on planting techniques... but it seems like I was ignored."

"Is it really too strange to grow vegetable seedlings in the yard?"

Shiori smiled and encouraged, "That's not the case. As long as there is space in the yard, entry-level planting such as cherry tomatoes, green peppers and eggplants is no problem for beginners."

Huo Xia listened and said, "I see. I decided to give it a try."

They were concentrating on selecting vegetable seedlings. Although the flowers in the gardening store were colorful, the two of them were only concerned with what they could eat.

Shiori continued to share, "In addition to basic planting techniques, spice plants are also very convenient. When you want to add a hint of fragrance to your dishes, just pick a leaf."

Huo Xia listened attentively, "Ah, that's good."

"It should be easy to buy in the store. But I heard that this plant has strong reproductive ability and must be cultivated separately from other vegetables?"

Shiori nodded and smiled, "That's right. Also, if there are pests on the stems of vegetables, a simple way is to use a spray to spray milk, which will effectively repel them."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Huo Xia's eyes, as if he had discovered a new world of growing vegetables.

Shizhi looked at Huoxia's reaction and couldn't help but laugh happily.

……

The two were walking down the shopping aisle in the supermarket, and their communication became increasingly intense.

"Shiori! Hurry and get me two packs of fresh eggs!"

Huo Xia's voice was filled with urgency, and her eyes quickly scanned the shelves, looking for the target product.

Upon hearing this, Shizhi immediately responded, "I've already taken two rolls of plastic wrap and aluminum foil each, and I'm looking for something on sale."

Although their conversation was not loud, their speech speed was very fast, revealing a tense and busy atmosphere.

The bustling customers around seemed to be immersed in their own shopping world, but their conversations revealed a sense of collaborative efforts.

"Ah! Look here, toilet paper is on sale for 188 yen...but each person can only buy one roll."

Shiori pointed excitedly at the toilet paper on the shelf.

Huo Xia frowned, "No way! Then don't hesitate, let's go quickly, Shizhi."

"Ok!"

Their conversation was filled with enthusiasm for the specials and fun at the challenge of shopping.

The busy shopping scene around them seemed to become the background of their small stage.

At this time, the clerk's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Dear customers - ahem - starting now, the domestic beef at the fine meat counter is on sale! Only 100 yen per 298 grams, only for this day! Please seize this opportunity..."

This sudden news stunned Huoxia and Shizhi for a moment.

"What!? This discount is not mentioned on the flyer...!"

Huo Xia exclaimed in a low voice.

Shiori took a deep breath, "Huh... This really caught me off guard. Is this the real-life shopping battlefield?"

When their eyes met, they saw the challenge in each other's eyes, then they smiled slightly and threw themselves into the battlefield of supermarket shopping like soldiers.

……

"Bonus harvest, bumper harvest!"

Carrying a large bag of purchased items, Huoxia walked towards Tiangong Square with Shizhi.

"You can try the cooking today. If it tastes good and is well received by customers, you will be in charge of the kitchen for the next few days... I can also enjoy a little oral treatment."

"Hehe, I won't let you down."

Shizhi smiled, then looked at Huo Xia with some curiosity, "I'm a little surprised, I didn't expect Huo Xia to know these things..."

Huo Xia: "Why do you say that?"

Shiori was a little embarrassed and explained, "Because Huo Xia-kun looks like a playboy who lives a privileged life and doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Sorry, it seems a bit rude to say this."

"That's not the case." Huo Xia shook her head. "There were times like this when I was a kid. I lived in a small house with my sister."

"At that time, Su Shi didn't know how to cook very well, so I was the one who took care of her."

"Go to the mall to buy cheap meat and vegetables, think of ways to decorate the house, and make Su Shi happy."

"My stepmother is working outside most of the time."

"Until I was admitted to Shuchiin, I was a little busy at that time, and Su Shi gradually became sensible..."

“Maybe it’s not a good thing.”

Huo Xia stopped and his figure in the sunlight became a little hazy, as if he was not in the reality in front of him, but in a very far away dream.

“Life is definitely getting better.”

“You don’t have to worry about food that’s on sale every day, and you don’t have to be embarrassed by a small room. You can eat whatever you want and buy whatever you want.”

"If Su Shi wants to learn a musical instrument, we can easily give her the best."

"My family is getting richer and richer, even too rich..."

Shizhi listened quietly and looked at him like this. Because the sun was so strong today, she actually felt that this person was emitting a warm light.

Huo Xia just smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I feel a little hypocritical, but the past always makes me miss it, and when I think of it, I feel that time has passed too fast."

"You must be bored talking about this."

Shizhi nodded, then shook his head, "No... I'm just a little envious of you for having a past to reminisce about. I don't remember the past."

Huo Xia said: "The past is not necessarily all good memories. The memories of being coveted by others, being confined in the attic, and being dizzy from hunger are really memories that I don't want to recall."

Shiori: “Huh?”

"Nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything." Huo Xia changed the subject, "I heard that Shizhi's cooking is amazing, please let a stranger from the next class try it."

Shizhi hummed and nodded silently.

……

Tianyang Festival.

Maid cafe.

The aroma was wafting in the air. Shiori's simple cooking attracted many people.

The entire shop was already packed with people. All the students gathered here, staring at Shiori's hands intently. Under her hands, the food that seemed to be shining with light gradually took shape.

"Okay, it's done!"

Shiori clenched his fists and brought the food to the table.

Huo Xia looked at the simple home-cooked meal in front of her, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she actually saw a golden light shining.

Somewhat reverently he dropped a spoonful of stew into the sin.

"too delicious!!"

In an instant, this sentence filled my mind.

The thick soup seems to have been simmered all night long, the soft meat almost melts on the tongue, and the vegetables have a refreshing sweetness that never overshadows the main flavor. The integrated enjoyment of the three has created an eternal paradise on the tip of Huo Xia's tongue.

It can truly be called a divine product.

Tears welled up in Huo Xia's eyes.

"Why do I have to eat such delicious food? What if I can't eat it anymore?!"

Huo Xia yelled exaggeratedly, and then kept pouring the stew into his mouth.

Seeing the other party's exaggerated performance, Shiori couldn't help but smile.

When the people around saw Huo Xia's performance, they all came forward.

"Chairman! We want to try it too."

"Yes, eating alone is really too much!"

"I didn't expect that Shiori-senpai's femininity is so high. She's obviously a tall girl..."

"Be quiet."

The scene was a little chaotic, Huo Xia stood up and waved his hand, "Everyone who wants to eat, line up!"

Chapter 119 Our Date

dusk.

Shiori sighed a little tiredly.

Huo Xia also smiled and patted her shoulder, "You feel tired like this. Tomorrow you will be the ace of our school. With your cooking skills, we will definitely be the protagonists this year. By then, you will be the big sister and benefactor of the whole school."

"Hearing you say that, it feels exactly like an unscrupulous boss deceiving his subordinates into risking their lives." Shiori was completely uninterested.

Huo Xia asked, "Why, aren't you happy to see that everyone likes your cooking?"

"That's not the case, it's just..." Shizhi hesitated to speak.

Huo Xia said: "You seem to have a lot of questions. I'm going to clear out my inventory today. I'll answer all your questions, but you have to answer one of my questions, too."

"Clearance sale... You sound like it's a supermarket sale." Shiori couldn't help but smile, his expression slightly restrained, and he raised his eyes seriously, "You, who are the sister and adoptive mother you are talking about?"

Huo Xia: “…”

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Shiori apologized quickly.

Huo Xia shook her head. "Nothing. It's normal for you to be curious. After all, you want to help your friend take a look at the person he has entrusted his life to."

After the words fell, Shizhi was stunned for a moment.

Yes.

At the beginning, it seemed that he wanted to stop Origami and Huoxia from being together, or at least to make sure that Huoxia was a man worthy of Origami's entrusting her life to.

Although a bit nosy, Origami is very similar to herself, both of them are people of the same age with no parents and only one family.

I can't let it go for a while.

Shizhi then remembered his original intention.

I felt a little ashamed inside, as if I had done something shameful.

Now that I think about it, what happened before was just a date.

Am I not just like the bad woman in the TV drama who claims to be "keeping an eye on her best friend" but actually wants to steal her best friend's man?

Huoxia didn't care about Shizhi's complicated thoughts, but looked into the distance.

It seemed as if he was not looking at Shizhi, but at his own past. However, he was actually using the wisdom of the Bodhisattva to lock onto Shizhi's aura and observe Shizhi's changes at any time.

“I’m not actually from this world.”

Upon hearing this, Shizhi looked at him blankly.

Huo Xia said to herself: "I come from a parallel world. In that world, my parents died when I was a child, and the adults around me are a group of people with ulterior motives."

"Then I was lucky enough to escape from the attic and was picked up by Su Shi and my sister."

"After that, my foster mother took care of me."

"It's a very ordinary thing..."

"It's just that my adoptive mother is a really powerful woman. Thanks to her, I was promoted directly from the bottom of the poor to an aristocratic school. I am also doing well and can flirt with girls everywhere."

Having said that, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Shiori blinked, "Does the parallel world... really exist?"

“It really exists.”

"That's it."

Shiori murmured, accepting this statement.

Huo Xia looked at her and asked in surprise: "You just accepted it like that, don't you have any doubts?"

Shizhi's expression froze for a moment, then he said calmly: "Huoxia may find it incredible, but I seem to be able to read minds."
