[Comprehensive] Life has finally attacked my cat

"Guitar?"

Fukube questioned while chewing on the snacks served by Jialiang.

"Satoshi, swallow the food before speaking."

Oreki concentrated on putting the broken sentence back into place.

The two are now in Jialiang's store, supervising each other's winter vacation homework, and sorting Jialiang's masterpieces by the way.Fortunately, the publishers of garbage games are more conscientious, and compared to other small games, there are fewer levels.

"It's not hard to borrow a guitar..."

Fukube followed Oreki's example and observed Jialiang's fingers.

"But Miss Jialiang, can you play?"

"...There will always be a way to make a sound."

Jialiang's fingers did not form the calluses that people who play the guitar would have on their hands, and the little finger did not bend at a subtle angle when they were opened, so Fukube judged that she could not play the guitar.This is indeed the case, but Jialiang can't fly to the sky, and finally "there is always a way" to complete the task.

"I see, then I'll go get it."

Fukube stood up as he spoke.Oreki seemed to know his plan already, sitting where he was and focusing on filling in the blanks in front of him.

"Get it? Now?"

"It just so happens that that person's home is nearby, but I might trouble you to bring some more snacks."

Not long after going out refreshingly and handsomely, Fukube came back alone with a guitar on his back.

"really……"

Oreki handed the completed fill-in-the-blanks to Jialiang, and heaved a long sigh.

Without Oreki sighing, it can be deduced from the holding hands of the two that this girl is Mayaka Ibara, the only member of the Classical Literature Club who has never met.

"This store always looks a little familiar..."

Mayaka was pulled into the store by Fukube, looked curiously at the furnishings in the store, and then suddenly reacted and greeted Jialiang.

"Excuse me, I'm Mayaka Ibara."

A girl from the literature department with cool short hair.This is Jialiang's first impression of her.

"Welcome, Ihara-san, is flower tea okay?"

When Eru first heard about Jialiang, Mayaka left the impression of a "mature and gentle big sister", and the image of a housewife with long hair reaching her waist and wearing an apron came to mind.But the person holding the teapot in front of him, subjectively speaking, does not quite fit the chef's impression.But she is the same, although she has a baby face, her personality is serious and severe.

It's just this hair color, it seems to have a little impression?

The four of them sat down, and Jialiang carefully held the guitar, his fingers stroking the six strings of different thicknesses, and the loudspeaker roared, playing crisp string sounds.

"Meow?"

Scotland poked his head out of the living room.What a long-lost guitar sound, he seems to have returned to that platform, holding a petite girl in his arms...

A guitar is a musical instrument and a place to stash a gun.Many killers disassembled guns into parts and hid them in speakers in order to pretend to carry guitars on their backs. In their eyes, expensive musical instruments are just Pandora's boxes.

Normal guitar sound should be like this...

"Cat? So cute."

Fukube reached out to Scotch, who jumped on his lap to get a closer look at the guitar.

"It's really rare to fold one's ears and refuse to recognize one's life."

Mayaka looked curiously at Scotland, and Fukube smoothed her hair skillfully.Oreki chose to ignore the interaction between the two, and stared closely at Scotland's reaction.

This cat, responds more to the guitar.

Jialiang only felt a lot of pressure.She doesn't know how to play the guitar at all, but Fukube borrowed it with great difficulty, and she was embarrassed to strum a string and put it down.According to the judgment of that rubbish game, as long as you strum the strings a little bit——

The screen of the mobile phone I looked at did not emit light, and there was no notification sound.

Surely it wouldn't be that easy to let her go?

"The easiest chords are C and G, right? Ms. Jialiang will try it too?"

Fukube conjured up a diagram of chords out of nowhere, and both C and G were written on the first row of chords.

"But I think Em and Am are easier, anyway—"

Following Mayaka's elongated voice, Fukube and her spoke in unison.

"As long as it's not F!"

The emotional cultivation of high school students is probably like this.

Oreki, who prides himself on energy conservation, and Kara, who seemed to be an adult from birth, sighed.

When the violin is played on TV, the performer's fingers are flying on the neck of the violin. Are they pressing chords?

Jialiang also tried pressing the C chord according to the diagram given to her by Fukube, and the sound from three of the six strings suddenly became dull.

"It will be like this if you don't use enough force, but it will hurt if you use too much force."

Oreki reminded lightly.If Jialiang's hand hurts, maybe he won't be able to see the "mysterious snack" she just mentioned.

He is knowledgeable, but not omniscient, so he is also very curious about what Jialiang will bring out to entertain Maya Flower.

"Really, there is a dent in the fingertip."

It was also accompanied by a slight swelling pain. If there were no cocoons, it would have been unbearable after playing the song.

The principle of chords is to change the length of the vibrating string, thereby changing the pitch, so the gradation is drawn on the neck.Jialiang exerted a little more force with his left hand, and the most frequently used index finger pressed down on the string to produce a crisp tone.

"That's it, Ms. Jialiang, it's awesome, you mastered it so quickly."

"Yes...is that so?"

Jia Liang was flattered.No one had ever told her that before, so that she read his real thoughts in the diary after the man died.

But even if he told her that he was talented, Jialiang himself would not agree with it.

How many mortals like her graduate every year?Climb up from hell and rise to the sky-it seems that she is the only one who is displaced and has one foot into the inhuman world.

When Oreki recovered from the famous book, Jialiang had already fully pressed the three strings of C, and the tone changed, with a sense of freshness after a little rain.

Scotland has been completely lost in memory.Where would it be without his Whiskey Squad? The FBI, the Japanese public security, and all walks of life want to break down the winery, until today——

"...Ihara-san has been sitting for so long, I'm going to prepare some snacks."

Jialiang put the guitar into the bag.Even if she doesn't have talent, so what, her life as a chef has passed eight years, and now she is asked to start all over again, and I am too sorry for the time spent studying hard.

And to change it, it had to start from the morning of the fourth grade of elementary school, when she brought out the scallion pancakes from the kitchen.

Scot jumped off Fukube's lap and followed Jialiang into the kitchen.She was supposed to make some novel snacks for Airu today, but unfortunately she couldn't come due to something.

It is probably a small container made of bamboo tubes, put the steamed glutinous rice flour and rice flour mixture, and stir in a special steamer until there are no particles.This process is surprisingly short compared to other desserts. Sprinkle five-color powdered sugar and raisins and then steam it before sticking it out.

"There are no fruits in winter, these jams are still bought from supermarkets, and sugar and crushed peanuts can also be dipped."

Not long after Jialiang brought out the jam and ingredients, he came out with a few strings of round, white pastries that looked like small mirrors.The surface is crystallized with colorful powdered sugar, and the whole is soft and glutinous. Dip it in your favorite jam and ingredients and take a bite. The sweetness and the rice fragrance that the Japanese love come out together, like taking a bath in fragrant rice.

Oreki was pondering how to describe this taste to Eru, Mayaka was immersed in the heaven of sweetness, only Fukube still retained a sliver of reason.

"How did you make it? It's not as sticky as rice cakes, and it's more elastic than dumplings."

"It's... steamed in a special container..."

Jialiang found this by accident when packing up the utility room, probably one of the things that the person bought and used a few times and threw in there.It seems that the price is not bad, it is made in China, and it has been treated like this.

Babao Rose Mirror Cake, Chang'an, China... It should be called a famous snack in Xi'an now.She can barely understand how to use it with a translator, and she didn't expect to be so successful the first time she tried it.

"It's delicious even without dipping sauce, and it smells like roses."

"That's because I brushed with rose sauce, as long as you like it."

Soon the room was filled with the sweet scent of various fruits. After eating a rose mirror cake, everyone leaned back in their chairs with relaxed faces.

"Aren't you considering reopening the store?"

Oreki said suddenly.

"I'm in Tokyo..."

"Temporary business, Tokyo is also very popular, of course, if you feel sorry for the unit there, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"……no."

In the end, Jialiang could only spit out such words.

It's not that I feel I have betrayed Ice Empress, and it's not that I haven't fantasized about inheriting the store after that person is gone, but——

"I don't know if I can do it well."

I don't know if I can do it as well as that person.

She has always thought that she will be the head chef of this restaurant when she can do her best, and serve delicious dishes to the guests, but she has never thought about a future without that person.

Just like before her aunt disappeared, she never thought about the future of being separated from her aunt.

Maybe she is too capricious, taking it for granted that everyone will be by her side, but natural disasters and man-made disasters have never been far away from her.

"But didn't Ms. Jialiang graduate from Yuanyue? I don't think you will be worse than this kind of country cook."

Oreki, who learned a lot from Eru, couldn't stop Mayaka's mouth in time.

For Jialiang, that person is not only her adoptive father, but also the one who opened the door to the world for her and cut off the dark umbilical cord before.If you were told that, it would definitely be...

Fukube rushed ahead of him to answer.

"Miss Jialiang can do it. Although I have only drank tea here a few times, I can taste some unusual taste from the tea you made. You are closer to that person than anyone else, not the most Is it suitable for someone to inherit this store?"

"...In other words, can you choose me?"

So that's the case, is it a lack of finishing touch?

Oreki guessed this from Jialiang's glowing eyes, and then buried himself in reorganizing the masterpiece.

Yuanyue is her halo and her bondage.This is the same as the famous brand effect. People who are not firm enough to cultivate them often doubt whether the world loves themselves or the name behind them.

Just being chosen would be such a joy, maybe there is still a child who hasn't grown up living in her heart.

"It's true, that person has no other relatives, only me, only I can..."

What is this fulfilling feeling of holding something in your hands?

Only you are the most suitable.

It is not anyone else, and there will be no one who chooses a better colleague, only she——

Fairy pot house.

Only she is qualified to inherit the name of this store.

In the name of Yoshira Furukawa.
