Chapter 633 Yins Cooking

Chapter 633 Yin's Cooking

Waking up early the next morning, Shiro yawned and made her way down to the kitchen in her pyjamas. The pyjamas weren’t anything fancy as it was just a shirt and some pants. However, the fact that they’re light pink caused Shiro’s smile to twitch but the material was quite comfy.

Plus, wearing a set of black pyjamas wouldn’t be good to begin with.

Entering the kitchen, she was actually surprised that Mio and Yin were already awake and cooking.

"Oh my, isn’t this a surprise. Yin’s actually awake so early." Shiro raised her eyebrow.

"Well little Yin wanted to learn how to cook a good breakfast so I was just teaching her." Mio chuckled.

Glancing over at Yin, Shiro could see that she was fully focused on her task.

Remembering that Yin was quite a good cook in the future, Shiro was rather excited by what she was going to produce. Who knows, it might be something amazing on the first try.

"So what’s she making?" Shiro asked.

"It’s something simple. Just some rice congee and a few side dishes with a few eggs. Shouldn’t be that hard." Mio replied with a smile.

Nodding her head, Shiro decided to do a search on the teachers that her dad had invited while she waited for Yin to finish cooking.

After all, it had been quite a few years since she had last seen them so it was a good idea to get up to date with what they’ve been up to.

The first person that her dad had invited was a swordswoman named Lin. Lin was a slender woman who was quite tall. Measuring around 5ft 11, she had a highly aggressive and reactive fighting style which allows her to break through her opponent’s guard by analysing how they defend against her barrages.

For someone like her, one should attempt to face her head on and reverse the flow of battle or else it was going to be hard to win against her. An example would be a tiny snowball rolling down a mountain. Once you give her some room to work with, she’ll exploit the gaps and take your life before you know it.

A teacher like Lin was perfect for Lyrica and Lisa since their fighting style was similar. Their defence was poor but the attack was outstanding.

There was one thing that concerned Shiro and that was the fact that Lin was known to have a hard time talking to people. She much prefers acting rather than talking so she was worried about whether or not Lisa and Lyrica could actually learn from her.

’Since dad chose her out of everyone he knows, there’s probably a good reason for it.’ Shiro mused to herself before checking the other teachers.

The second teacher that her dad had invited was Stanley. There wasn’t much known about him only that he was hailed as one of the greatest mages to have existed. His specialty lies in the fact that he had mastered the use of analytic magic. It was a type of magic that not many use much less master.

The main principles of analytic magic was that it would analyse the opponents magic and turn it against them. In one way, it was similar to her celestial path where she cancels out magic by breaking the spell circle.

But that wasn’t all, even if Stanley couldn’t see the magic circle, his senses when it comes to mana were top notch. If one wanted to know about magic, he was the go to person.

He was also the teacher that Kuromi studied under for a while when she was a child.

If you studied his teachings diligently, he was a very nice teacher and one that would make sure to try his best to help you. On the other hand, if you dismiss his teachings or ignore what he says, he will just give up on teaching you all together. There had been a few times where Kuromi had seen another kid with her studying under Stanley but he gave up teaching them since they didn’t focus.

The only reason she kept focusing was so that she could teach Lil’ Tian about magic. That way, he could protect himself even with his weak physique and Stanley was quite happy about her diligence.

Unfortunately, he had something that he needed to deal with hence why he left for a bit but now that her dad had re-invited him, Shiro was quite excited to greet her old teacher.

The third person that her dad had invited was Fin. There wasn’t much else she needed to search as he was as violent as usual.

Out of the four teachers, it was the fourth and last one that Shiro was most curious about since she had no memory about her. Searching up about the teacher named Chelsea, Shiro found out that she had appeared near the front lines one day and started to help out. From her description, it seemed like she was living with her parents in one of the demon territories when they were attacked by monsters and she had to fend for herself.

She was stuck in the demon territory for quite a few years where she had to hunt and feed herself when she caught wind of humans being close and decided to check it out. From them on, she helped on the front lines and made quite a name for herself.

"Mum." Shiro called out as the information on Chelsea cut off after this point.

"What is it darling?"

"So I’m searching up information about the teachers that dad invited but who’s Chelsea? There’s not much known about her." Shiro asked.

"Oh you’re wondering about Chelsea are you? Well she’s a nice girl that doesn’t like to interact with too many people. She’s part of our party in the front lines and she’s been quite helpful. Her lineage seems to be quite special but she keeps it a secret since she doesn’t want the government to bother her too much." Mio replied as Shiro nodded.

"What do you mean by special?"

"Well it’s the weapons that she uses. It’s similar to having a spirit guardian I suppose. It’ll be easier for you to understand when you see them yourself." Mio chuckled.

After waiting for a while, Yin had finally finished cooking. Setting the food out on the table, she sat opposite Shiro and waited for her evaluation with an excited look on her face.

Seeing this, Shiro smiled softly and picked up the bowl of rice congee.

Before she even got a mouthful, she could already smell the strong scent of salt and felt a little worried for the taste. However, since it was her daughter’s first attempt at cooking, some sacrifices were needed!

Taking a moment to brace herself, she took a mouthful.

Surprisingly, the impact of salt never came as Shiro raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Oh my... this taste quite ni- *BLERG!"

The salt was a delayed taste.

Feeling as if she had just drunk a mouthful of salt water, Shiro couldn’t hold it back anymore and ran to the kitchen before grabbing herself a bunch of orange juice from the fridge.

Chugging it down to rehydrate herself, Shiro looked back at the slightly down Yin.

"Maybe you should be careful of how much salt you put in there." Shiro said as Mio tilted her head.

"Eh? It thought it was quite nice though? It’s only a little salty but surely it doesn’t warrant such a reaction no?" Mio furrowed her brows, taking a mouthful of the congee.

"See? It’s not too bad."

"Huh? What do you mean? The saltiness was like a surprise punch after a moment of calm no? Can’t you smell how salty it is?" Shiro asked with confusion.

"No. Why don’t you give it another try." Mio said, presenting a spoonful of rice congee for Shiro.

Flinching slightly, Shiro nodded her head reluctantly and took a bite. However, her reaction was the same. It didn’t taste that good.

"Strange." Mio furrowed her brows since it didn’t look like Shiro was acting.

After clearing out the salty rice in her mouth, Shiro had a small idea on what had happened.

"Mum, I think I know. I practised a martial art that heightens my senses so anything that’s slightly strong will become super strong for me. An example is probably salt. Everyone else can taste a little while I taste a lot. For yesterday’s meal, the seasoning was balanced so it tasted nice but for Yin, she put a bit too much salt so it dominated the taste." Shiro theorised as Mio had a surprised look on her face before it was replaced by excitement.

"This is perfect for little Yin as your senses are the best way to practice cooking." Mio smiled.

"Pardon?" Shiro tilted her head.

"Little Yin needs practice with her seasoning so you’re perfect for the job. You can tell her which seasoning dominated the mix so that she understands how to balance it out." Mio explained.

Understanding that this meant she’s going to become a test dummy for Yin, Shiro sighed. However, since Yin made super tasty meals in the future, this means that her efforts had paid off. For good food, her sacrifice was small. And so, Shiro agreed to become the test subject for Yin’s cooking.
