Crossover Anime/Manga - Not Everyday Life

Chapter 47 Unlocking the Angel's Dinner

Xia Sheng changed into his only clothes for going out, went out, and saw Shiina Mahiru standing prettily at the door waiting for him.

Her attire was simple: a brown long-sleeved top and a dark blue suspender midi skirt. Despite her slender and petite frame, she exuded a sense of maturity.

"Let's go." Shiina Mahiru led the way towards the elevator.

Xia Sheng closed the door and followed her.

The two took the elevator down to the first floor and walked slowly towards the supermarket side by side.

As dusk fell, the journey was quiet, and Xia Sheng encountered no passersby. He did not initiate any conversation.

The two arrived at the supermarket without exchanging a word.

"I'm going to buy groceries. The snack section is on the other side. You can go by yourself." As they entered the supermarket, Shiina Mahiru said softly, showing no intention of going with Natsuo.

"No rush, let me go with you to buy groceries first." Xia Sheng followed her.

"Why are you keeping me company?"

"Let me help you carry your things."

"No need, I can carry it myself..."

"Let's go, I already said I'm here to help you, don't be so polite with me." Natsumi interrupted Shiina Mahiru and walked towards the fresh food section first.

Shiina Mahiru watched his retreating figure, pursed her lips, and followed with a helpless expression.

At this time of day, there are quite a few people coming to buy groceries, mostly women and elderly women.

The appearance of Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru was still quite abrupt.

Young boys and girls come to buy groceries together, and older people can't help but look at them with tender eyes.

They couldn't help but reminisce about their youth.

Those were good times.

"It feels like everyone's watching us," Natsumi remarked as he followed Shiina Mahiru, watching her choose her dishes.

"Don't worry about it," Shiina Mahiru replied without turning her head, picking through the ingredients.

"Do you think they might start making wild guesses about our relationship?"

"Are you here to help or to interfere with me?" Shiina Mahiru asked, looking at him, unable to bear it any longer.

"Isn't it nice to just chat?"

"So what are you trying to say?"

"For example, people might mistake us for siblings or something. If you were my sister, Shiina, I would be so happy," Natsuo said, looking on with a dreamy expression.

"..." Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. She thought he would say that he mistook them for a couple.

"Don't even think about it. You want me to be your little sister and cook for you every day? You're dreaming." Shiina Mahiru saw through Natsuo's intentions at a glance.

"Oops~ We've been found out."

"Don't talk anymore. You carry this. I'm going to get rough with you." Shiina Mahiru handed the selected ingredients to Natsumi.

"Alright, bring it on."

True to her word, Shiina Mahiru didn't stand on ceremony at all. She handed over everything she chose to Natsuo and asked him to carry it for her.

She picked out quite a few things.

Before long, Xia Sheng's hand was full of packaging bags.

Fortunately, Shiina Mahiru doesn't have the habit of stocking up too much; she only plans to prepare enough ingredients for one or two days, so Natsuo doesn't have to work too hard.

"Let's go, it's time to buy your snacks." Shiina Mahiru turned and walked towards the snack section.

"You pick me, I can't spare any hands," Xia Sheng said, following behind her.

"Is it heavy? Why don't you lift it a little?" Shiina Mahiru turned to look at his hand.

"No, it's not heavy at all. I could easily take twice as much." Xia Sheng said calmly.

Shiina Mahiru scrutinized Natsuo's face, and after finding nothing amiss, nodded: "Alright."

Upon arriving at the snack section, Shiina Mahiru picked out a lot of snacks for Natsuo, and she even thoughtfully asked him what flavors he liked.

Xia Sheng was carrying another large bag in his hand.

After buying almost everything, they paid at the cashier and went back to their apartment together.

Xia Sheng carried all the items.

Although Shiina Mahiru wanted to share some of the burden, Natsuo refused without hesitation.

He said he'd help carry things in return, so of course he had to keep his word. He's a guy, why would he need a girl's help?

What's the difference between this and saying he's incompetent?

A man can't be told he's no good.

They walked in silence until they returned to the apartment. Natsuki stood ramrod straight at the door of Shiina Mahiru's house, his expression calm, waiting for her to open the door.

Shiina Mahiru opened the door, turned to face Natsuo, and took half of the item from his hand: "Thank you."

"It's nothing, just remember to call me next time."

"Then forget it, so I don't have to cook for you again." Shiina Mahiru refused with a smile.

"How could you think of me like that? I helped you not to freeload." Xia Sheng said, feeling very hurt.

"Really? Do you want to eat dinner? I can make more." Shiina Mahiru looked at him and asked casually.

"want!"

"You really are... just you wait." Shiina Mahiru shook her head and went home.

Xia Sheng was also excited to go home, where he could finally eat the meal prepared by the angel that night.

After opening the door, Xia Sheng went into the living room, put the snacks on the coffee table, and lay down on the sofa.

He was exhausted.

The items weren't heavy, but both hands were full, and I couldn't switch hands to relax until I got home.

He's human, a mortal being; it would be abnormal if he didn't get tired.

But it was all worth it.

This is the first time I've seen Shiina Mahiru make dinner.

If money were available, Natsuo would be willing to give Shiina Mahiru money and cover her three meals a day.

But Shiina Mahiru is not short of money, nor does she need his money. She only does things for him depending on her mood.

If the two people make a deal with money, then the whole thing becomes completely different.

Shiina Mahiru would never accept such a relationship.

Besides, if you could get her to cook for you for money, how could it possibly be Xia Sheng's turn?

Shiina Mahiru prepared dinner very quickly; less than an hour later, she came over to ask Natsuo for utensils.

Then he came back carrying a bowl of rice and a plate of hot, fragrant beef stew with potatoes.

"I made quite a lot. If you need more, you can come and get more."

"Okay! You've worked hard." Natsumi followed Shiina Mahiru, smelling the aroma, and couldn't wait to taste it.

"Then you can eat slowly, I'm going back to eat too." Shiina Mahiru put her things away and went back.

Xia Sheng didn't see her off. He sat at the dining table, rubbed his hands together, picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of beef, and put it in his mouth.

He chewed it only twice, then closed his eyes contentedly.

The meat is tender and juicy, with a distinct flavor and is very flavorful.

Shiina Mahiru's cooking skills are truly excellent.

Unable to suppress his stomach's cravings, Xia Sheng began to shovel rice into his mouth, wolfing it down.

One bowl of rice wasn't enough for him, so he didn't stand on ceremony and went to Shiina Mahiru's house to get another bowl.

Of course, I waited at the door for her to serve the food and bring it out.

Xia Sheng ate two bowls of rice and was so satisfied that he didn't even want to write that night.

Moreover, carrying things is quite tiring.

Lying in bed, Xia Sheng only wanted to rest for a while, but he accidentally fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Yui Yuigahama's excited and adorable face.

"Good evening, Xia Sheng~"

"Good evening." Xia Sheng glanced at her again.

Today, Yui Yuigahama is no longer in her pajamas, but in a red school sports uniform, though her hair is still down.

It should be good for sleeping.

Why are you wearing sportswear?

"I saw you wearing different clothes last time, and I was wondering if I could change my clothes and come here. I didn't expect it would actually be possible," Yui Yuigahama explained.

"I almost forgot to tell you about some things here, my problem."

"Huh? What's going on here?" Yui Yuigahama asked blankly.

"You really didn't think about anything, but that does sound like you." Xia Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"Hey~ I have a feeling that you're talking bad about me, Natsuo." Yui Yuigahama puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

No, I was just complimenting you.

"I don't believe it!"
