While Shinomiya Kaguya was struggling with her future relationship with Miyauchi Hikage, it was a different scene on Miyauchi Hikage's side.
Miyauchi Hikari was sleeping soundly in the large room of the Western-style house. Shiina Mahiru, who was in the kitchen, held the recipe book Miyauchi Hikage gave her that increased cooking skill by 10 points. She felt that just by glancing at this recipe book, her cooking skills seemed to have suddenly improved a lot.
Shiina Mashiro sat obediently beside him eating baumkuchen. Although they hadn't seen each other for only a week, this pet girl indeed had some dependency issues. After Miyauchi Hikage returned home, she had been sitting next to him listening to him talk about what had happened during this week.
Including the sparring at Jujutsu High in the afternoon. Even though there was the freshest video in the group, Shiina Mashiro still wanted Miyauchi Hikage to tell her the whole story.
As for Tohru, originally before meeting Shiina Mashiro, she didn't have a very good impression of this girl. But after meeting her, Tohru gave up the idea of intimidating these girls.
Just as Miyauchi Hikage said before, this girl had a similar aura to Honma Meiko, and seemed to practice that special breathing method, but the intensity was far higher than Honma Meiko's.
At the same time, this girl's soul was too pure. Such a pure and shining soul made it impossible for her to say any harsh words to this girl.
No wonder Miyauchi Hikage would tell this girl everything. If she had met Shiina Mashiro first, she might have also wanted to dye the other's soul with her own color.
Miyauchi Hikage, this guy, is really lucky to meet so many good girls.
Including Shiina Mahiru, who was busy cooking in the kitchen. Although her soul was not as pure as Shiina Mashiro's, and there was still a shadow in her heart, she was undoubtedly a lovable girl.
Thinking of this, even if her sexual orientation hadn't gone wrong for the time being, Tohru was still a little angry at Miyauchi Hikage, this scumbag.
Can't he just be good to one girl wholeheartedly, and then draw a clear line with the other girls?
Even if this might hurt Honma Meiko, the girl whom Miyauchi Hikage only saw as a younger sister, a temporary stinging pain is better than constantly recurring throbbing pain, right?
Of course, there was another thing that concerned her.
For some reason, when Shiina Mashiro spoke, apart from the tone of voice, this girl's voice and timbre were almost indistinguishable from Honma Meiko's.
You know, Tohru had lived for tens of thousands of years, so she had naturally met many people and heard many voices.
Generally speaking, even if the voices of two different people were close, one could still distinguish the difference more or less.
Even a person's voice at different ages would have some differences.
But Shiina Mashiro and Honma Meiko, two people who looked completely different, their voices were almost the voice of the same person in the same period. If she really had to say, Shiina Mashiro, who looked more innocent, actually had a slightly more mature voice than Honma Meiko.
Listening to this voice that seemed to be carved from the same mold, Tohru had no grudge against Shiina Mashiro.
It was just that when she asked Miyauchi Hikage about this matter, Miyauchi Hikage acted as if it was normal.
Isn't it just sharing a voice actor? What's so strange about that?
When you meet Kasumigaoka Utaha later, will you also be shocked that Kasumigaoka Utaha's timbre is so close to Shiina Mashiro's?
[note: Bruh I just noticed Ai Kayano voiced three girls in this fic]
There were only a few popular female voice actors in each era, so they would naturally take on jobs crazily in their popular era. There were many people in the chat group who shared voice actors. Miyauchi Hikage himself had complained about these things in the diary.
Miyauchi Hikage glanced at Tohru. Well, Tohru's voice actor is indeed not very popular, voicing some second or third-rate characters. Only the character Tohru can be considered out of the circle.
But it didn't matter. Later, when Fafnir, that otaku dragon (Daisuke Ono), came over, in this chaotic world, he could easily find a bunch of characters with exactly the same timbre.
"It's not strange for voices to be the same in our world. Sometimes there are even many people who look almost exactly the same even though they are not related by blood. Anyway, our world is just this chaotic."
Tohru curled her lips. "Indeed, the place you live in now is indeed quite chaotic."
Tohru had eyes. After entering Tokyo, although she was slightly shocked by this modern human city made of steel, after arriving in Beika Town, she could say that the moment she entered Beika Town, she realized the problem with this area.
It could be said that nearly 30% of the resentment in the entire Tokyo that had not dissipated in time would flow to the streets of Beika Town under the influence of the ley line, making this street, under its glamorous surface, full of dirty things that she disliked.
However, she had been to many places in these tens of thousands of years, and she had also settled in places with worse environments than Beika Town. Moreover, those dirty things would not take the initiative to look for trouble. As long as she ignored them, it would not affect her life.
On the contrary, she was a little curious about how this place was formed.
"I bought this place because various cases often happen here, which is suitable for me to shoot videos. I only learned about the abnormality of this street later. If you are uncomfortable living here, I can also help you contact that Shinomiya Kaguya. I believe she will be very happy to take you to her house."
Hearing Miyauchi Hikage's words, Tohru snorted lightly.
Miyauchi Hikage and Shinomiya Kaguya were not good things in her eyes.
Although she didn't know where the other party sensed her extraordinariness and wanted to deliberately approach her.
But in comparison, it felt more comfortable to live with Miyauchi Hikage.
After all, except for Miyauchi Hikage, the girls around Miyauchi Hikage seemed quite nice.
The Shiina sisters were good people, and Miyauchi Hikari was silly and had no schemes.
She also had to watch Miyauchi Hikage so that he wouldn't calculate these two good sisters.
"Let's leave it at that. I'm quite relieved that you live here. At least those messy vengeful spirits around won't come over to offend people," Miyauchi Hikage responded and didn't talk to Tohru anymore.
After a while, he seemed to think of something and suddenly said to Shiina Mashiro beside him, "After dinner, you come with me to Shibuya."
Shiina Mashiro nodded obediently. After Saekano was confirmed for serialization, she didn't go anywhere during this week of vacation. She just squatted at home and used the ability of the diary to almost draw the manga to the end.
Although a lot of content and storyboards still needed Miyauchi Hikage's help to adjust, she could indeed relax for a while now.
Tohru also unhesitatingly stated that she had to go too.
She could feel that Miyauchi Hikage taking Shiina Mashiro out alone, a lone man and a lone woman, was definitely up to no good.
"I was going to take you too, so don't worry," Miyauchi Hikage planned to take Shiina Mashiro and Tohru to confirm the effect of the Other World app. He didn't know what impact a true god like Tohru entering the Metaverse would cause.
Anyway, just go over and explore casually. Picking up a Persona would be a huge profit. Even if he couldn't awaken a Persona, he could use it as a training ground that wouldn't be noticed by others.
Tohru originally wanted to bicker with Miyauchi Hikage a few more times, but with Shiina Mahiru calling from the kitchen that the meal was ready, Miyauchi Hikage, smelling the aroma, directly ditched Tohru.
Instead of bickering with people, it was better to eat two more bowls of rice.
He had fought with someone in the afternoon. Although he only used 10% of his stamina, he needed a big meal to replenish this 10% stamina.
It had to be said that giving Liu Mao Xing's recipes to Shiina Mahiru was indeed the right choice.
The home-cooked dishes that were already delicious usually became even more delectable in Shiina Mahiru's hands today.
This thing would not only directly add 10 points to cooking skills, but also imperceptibly improve cooking talent. Those willing to study the recipes above really had a chance to make glowing dishes in the future.
In the future, she might even complete her supernatural awakening through cooking.
Anyway, Miyauchi Hikage had been thinking about glowing dishes since he was a child in his previous life. He didn't have time to ponder these things in this life, so he could only rely on Shiina Mahiru, the omnipotent angel who liked cooking and was willing to study, to work hard.
He hoped that in the three years of high school, she could let him taste the taste of glowing dishes once.
Watching Tohru eating at super speed, shocked by the spices and cooking techniques of the other world, Miyauchi Hikage also speeded up his hand movements.
Before in Asahigaoka, the taste of the food could only be said to be passable, and Tohru usually ate about three servings.
But now the food made by Shiina Mahiru was delicious and suited her taste, and she had just bickered with Miyauchi Hikage a few times, so now she naturally converted her inner dissatisfaction into appetite.
Shiina Mahiru was naturally happy to see everyone liking the food she made so much.
It was just that she vaguely felt something was wrong.
Although Miyauchi Hikage told her that he and this Miss Tohru were both big eaters, and asked her to cook ten servings of rice at night.
And after practicing that Hamon breathing with Shiina Mashiro, she did feel that her appetite was much larger than before.
But why did it seem that ten servings of rice were completely insufficient for these two people to eat?
Did she have to go buy a few of those big rice cookers from restaurants and cook a big pot of rice for each of these two people in the future?
Amidst the whirlwind of eating, Shiina Mahiru, who had just eaten a bowl of rice, was stunned to find that the food on the table had been swept away by Miyauchi Hikage and Tohru, and Tohru even used miso soup to soak the rice at the end.
Is this the female big eater Miyauchi Hikage found?
Originally, Shiina Mahiru was a little skeptical, but now seeing Tohru, who could finish two big bowls of rice mixed with miso soup, Shiina Mahiru really believed it.
Until a certain Miyauchi Hikari, who had slept in bed all afternoon and only thought of getting up when she was hungry, came down from the stairs muttering "It smells so good, Mahiru-chan, what dishes did we have tonight" and ran excitedly to the table, only to be stunned by the messy table, Shiina Mahiru realized that they had forgotten about Miyauchi Hikari.
"So-sorry, Hikari, seeing Hikage-kun and Miss Tohru eating so happily, I forgot to wake you up for a moment. There are still some things in the kitchen, shall I cook a bowl of noodles for you?"
Miyauchi Hikage looked at his teary-eyed second sister and waved his hand immediately. "No need to bother. Mahiru, you've been busy all afternoon and are tired. Take a rest. I'll take them out to find something to eat."
Although she couldn't eat the big meal carefully prepared by Shiina Mahiru, hearing that they were going to eat out, Miyauchi Hikari, who had always been a little vain, suddenly became energetic.
She had been going to school in Tokyo for a month, and it seemed that she hadn't eaten out at restaurants much. Except for the first few days, she basically mooched off meals at Mahiru's house for the rest.
She wiped the corners of her eyes and mouth, and then asked her younger brother where they were going to eat.
If the answer given by Miyauchi Hikage didn't satisfy her, she would throw a tantrum.
"There's a family restaurant in Shibuya that should be pretty good. After dinner there, we can go watch a movie by the way. What do you think, Hikari?"
Just hearing Shibuya, Miyauchi Hikari was already satisfied.
As for watching movies in the cinema, this was also a goal she set for herself before coming to Tokyo.
So she immediately ignored the mess at home, and ran back upstairs to organize her outfit for going out.
Originally, Shiina Mahiru wanted to stay and clean up the kitchen, but she couldn't beat Miyauchi Hikari. The final result was that the five of them got on the subway to Shibuya together.
Beika Town was originally in the city center. In just over ten minutes, the group arrived in Shibuya amidst the rush hour crowd.
While Miyauchi Hikari was eating, Miyauchi Hikage went to buy a few movie tickets for a slightly later time. After giving these movie tickets to Shiina Mahiru, he used the excuse of taking Tohru to look at the mall, and naturally pulled Mashiro and Tohru to a corner next to the entrance of Shibuya Station where no one noticed.
Although Tohru had been sighing all the way that the traffic flow of this subway station was really scary, she still didn't know what Miyauchi Hikage dragged her here for.
Miyauchi Hikage took out his mobile phone. "Didn't I say? Test a special app I obtained relying on my own ability."
As he said this, Miyauchi Hikage pulled up Shiina Mashiro and asked Shiina Mashiro to hold onto Tohru.
Although it didn't need to be so troublesome, it was better to be cautious for the first attempt.
Thinking this, Miyauchi Hikage clicked on the Other World Navigator software with an eye as the logo on his phone with his other hand.
Tohru was still muttering, but with the launch of the software, her expression suddenly froze.
