Chapter 70: A Weekend of Injury (Part )

Time: Sunday morning.

Location: On the sofa in the living room of Utsunomiya Shuo's apartment.

Character: Utsunomiya Shuo.

Background: sofa, wall, and three-no loli.

Utsunomiya Shuo put down his phone and had been in a daze for more than an hour.

Because he didn't know what to do next.

In the past, I would spend my weekends lying in bed, playing with my phone, and sleeping when I felt tired;
Or lie on the sofa and play with your phone, then fall asleep when you feel tired;

You can also lie on the massage chair and play with your phone, and fall asleep when you feel tired.

But this weekend is a little different because there is a dual-hole camera in the house with all-round coverage, no blind spots, and built-in cooling mode.

Utsunomiya Shuo stood up and walked around the living room alone. After hitting the wall, he changed direction and continued to repeat the process, like a low-tech sweeping robot.

Zero watched the whole thing.

Like a cat squatting on a wall, observing the confusing behavior of humans.

This strange way of getting along is a little weird, but Zhuo doesn't think there is anything wrong. Although he and Ling live under the same roof, they live in their own little worlds, which are clearly separated.

The hands of the wall clock kept moving, and soon the shorter hour hand pointed to the number 12.

Zhuo was still wandering back and forth in the room. When he was tired, he would sit down to rest for a while, and then continue.

Always doing meaningless and useless work.

Zero sat quietly without saying a word.

The angle of the sunlight has changed from sideways to direct, and the light hits her face, making it bright white.

Utsunomiya Shuo finally stopped, stood in front of the small table, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

First, turn on the faucet of the sink. The strong flow of water hits the bottom of the sink, making a loud noise.

He leaned sideways, took out an onion from the chopping board on his left, and began to wash it… He peeled the skin while washing it, but the peeled onion was too slippery and accidentally fell to the bottom of the pool… So he peeled off the dirty new skin again, and then the more tender new skin was even slipperier, and the onion slipped through his knuckles again… Then he put all his strength into peeling off a layer of skin…

"…Are you going to cook?"

A faint questioning voice suddenly came from the living room behind me.

"Well, I bought the ingredients for curry rice. I learned about it in the "family class" before."

Zero is in the same class with him, so he would naturally know about this.

This time the peeling went smoothly. Although the onion had shrunk three times, the result was good.

congratulations.

Washing the carrots and potatoes went smoothly, and I had no trouble washing the chicken and beef, but peeling them was a challenge.

Why do potatoes have to grow in bumpy shapes?

Zhuo looked at the square potatoes he had peeled and fell into deep thought: If the potatoes grew into square shapes, peeling them would be much easier.

He cut a pound of potatoes into four ounces. It was all the potatoes' fault.

However, this may mean that the amount of potatoes may not be enough... But it doesn’t matter, the amount of onions may not be enough anyway.

Then Zhuo turned his attention to the last piece of meat.

"…I can help."

“No, no,” Zhuo waved his hand behind him and said generously, “You are not able to move around easily, I will do all these things.”

"Why don't you buy a bento from the store?" Zero asked, ignoring him.

This man is so hypocritical.

It's almost like no acting at all.

In the cooking classroom of the "Homework Class", Zero's workbench was right behind Utsunomiya Shuo, and he witnessed this man's incompetence the entire time... The so-called cooking was simply impossible.

"I'm tired of eating, so I thought you were here and could teach me how to cook, so we can both have a hot meal." Zhuo laid the chicken flat on the chopping board and was looking for a place to cut it. "I understand. It's not convenient for me to move, can you help me get the chopping board and ingredients?" Ling said calmly.

Zhuo was shocked and turned to look at her.

Ling looked at him expressionlessly: "It won't have any impact if you just don't move."

Utsunomiya Shuo stared at Ling in a daze and obsession, the sun shining on her delicate profile. At this moment, an angel descended and her hamstrings broke.

"Please don't say what's in your heart." Ling said expressionlessly.

Zhuo pretended not to hear Ling's complaints.

"...Then, let's go ahead." He agreed with difficulty.

Utsunomiya Sou: Everyone saw it. I didn’t exploit her. She did it voluntarily.

Ling lowered his eyelids, silent: "..." I've already said it, there's no need to say what's in your heart.

So, the chef of this meal officially moved.

Zhuo immediately came to the living room with a bunch of ingredients bought from the supermarket and spread them on the chopping board. Then he went to the kitchen and got the knives.

Zero then picked up the knife and casually looked at both sides to confirm that it was a new knife.

"Don't look at me like that. I bought it half a year ago, I just haven't used it." Zhuo was telling the truth.

“Why buy it if you know you won’t use it?”

"Self-defense?"

Zero looked down again, choosing not to speak to the man.

Then, from Zhuo's perspective, Ling held the knife in one hand and pressed the chicken with the other hand... The picture was a bit discordant because she looked too young, like a child secretly playing with an adult's toy.

The next second, a crisp and neat sound of "dong dong dong" was heard. The kitchen knife that had been covered in dust for half a year finally met its long-awaited owner. It hit the chopping board at a speed of three or four times per second, and the chicken was cut into pieces of similar size in the process.

First, it is clear that Zhuo has superb knife skills.

Killing and robbing are the basic skills of every half-blood.

Second, it is clear that Zhuo Ling is also an excellent cook.

Her Royal Highness, who is known as the "Ice Queen" by the school, is both civil and military, and is capable of both housework and housework. When she runs out of money, she can even rob a bank.

Even so,

When I saw Zero cut the chicken into pieces of roughly the same size within five seconds, and then gathered the bone residue from the chicken into the trash can beside the table...his operation was very skillful.

He was still a little shocked.

How come she completed the deboning operation when she was blind and I didn't see it?

Zero didn't care about the surprise of ordinary people at all. He just cut the beef in the same way as if he was doing an ordinary task.

Then came the carrots, onions, square potatoes, etc…

All this work took Zero less than thirty seconds to complete.

Immediately, Ling looked up at Zhuo's stunned gaze and spoke calmly.

"Although I already know the answer... can you really make curry?"

“…No.” Utsunomiya Zhuo did not dare to quibble under the holy light of God.

"I understand." Zero's expression didn't change at all.

Zhuo simply admitted that he couldn't do it, and in return, Ling nodded "I knew it". But she seemed to have expected such a response, so after nodding, she began to look around, as if she was looking for something, and did not complain.
