Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Entertaining the Children
"You're back!"
Shinchan opened the door of his house and used the magic technique of taking off his clothes, removing all his clothes except his underwear in two seconds.
"It's only right that I'm back." Mitsy walked out of the living room and frowned when she saw the clothes thrown away by Shinchan.
"Shinchan! How many times have I told you not to throw dirty clothes away? Why can't you remember!" Then she saw Shinchan taking off his clothes and running to the living room, disgusted. "Also, you must wash your hands first when you come back. Hey, are you paying heed to what mom says?"
"The verbose monster old woman keeps nagging as soon as I get back..."
"What did you say?!" Mitsy was furious. Just as she was about to scold Shinchan, she suddenly remembered Asuka, who was still taking a nap, so she lowered her voice and said, "Just wait for me!"
"Mom, mom, let's not talk about this for a while..." Shinchan said hurriedly, his voice a little loud...
"Why are you so loud? Sister Asuka is still taking a nap."
Mitsy bent down, put her index finger against her lips, and signaled Shinchan to lower his voice so as not to disturb Asuka.
"Sister, are you still sleeping?" Shinchan touched his head and grinned immediately at the back of his head.
Nohara Mitsy knew Shinchan's temperament very well. One look at his expression and she knew he was definitely thinking about something bad.
She immediately said seriously: "Shinchan, I'm warning you, don't disturb sister Asuka's sleep, do you hear me?"
"Okay~"
Shinchan responded with an indifferent expression, raised his head, and suddenly saw Mitsy dressed beautifully in a high-end coat. He asked:
"Mom, are you going to Tokyo for business?"
"No, mom is going to the bank to withdraw some money now, and then go buy food for dinner." Mitsy changed her shoes and turned back the moment she opened the door. "Mom has to announce something very important tonight."
After saying that, she winked playfully.
"Hey~" Shinchan was so disgusted that he had goosebumps all over his body.
"You are still acting cute at your age...yuck~ I feel like vomiting!"
Mitsy, who had already closed the door and was about to leave, suddenly opened the door, clenched her fist fiercely, and said, "What did you say?!"
"I, I said mom is really young and beautiful!"
"Yeah! That's pretty much it!"
After saying that, Mitsy closed the door again and went to withdraw the money.
When Shinchan was sure his mother had really left, he ran to the bedroom and saw Asuka Shimizu sleeping peacefully.
"Hey, big sister looks so good when she sleeps~" Shinchan held his face in his hands and looked at the sleeping Asuka infatuatedly. He began to fantasize in his mind:
On the heatwave beach in summer, Asuka wore a revealing triangle swimsuit with a bright and gentle smile on her face. She excitedly waved to Shinchan, who was lying on the beach chair:
"Shinchan~ Come and play!"
Shinchan took off the sunglasses on his face, took another sip of the drink he put aside, with a helpless and doting smile on his face: "Asuka, I really can't do anything to you."
Asuka's pretty face was full of grievances. She trotted up to Shinchan and whispered:
"I want you to accompany me~" (As we all know, Shinchan is a pervert)
...
"Hey, Asuka, don't be like this. The sun is so bright today, let me put some sunscreen on you, Asuka~"
"Ouch~ I don't know if Sister Asuka would say that~"
Shinchan stood in front of the sleeping Asuka, twisting his buttocks like a pervert, with a very lewd smile on his face...
"Uh! Wait a minute, now is not the time to think about this!"
Shinchan suddenly came back from his fantasy. He admired Asuka's sleeping face again, then ran to the cabinet to change clothes and hurried out the door.
"I almost forgot, Kazama and the others made an appointment to meet at Horse Manure Park!"
The sound of Shinchan closing the door woke Asuka Shimizu from her sleep.
Asuka had a very comfortable sleep this time. When she woke up, she was not only refreshed but also felt a little happy.
"Wash your face."
Asuka got up, and when she was folding the quilt, she realized that Mitsy had already gotten up.
She stared at the spot where Mitsy had been lying for a while, then pursed her lips...
The golden sunshine shone on her face, beautiful and tranquil. Suddenly she saw Shinchan's underwear from the cabinet, and a look of doubt appeared on her face...
"Shinchan is back already? System, what happened while I was sleeping?"
Asuka remembered that she still had a system to ask questions, and wondered what happened while she was asleep...
The system began to explain what had happened during this period, but before it could finish, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Asuka, open the door, I'm Shinchan!"
Shinchan? Did he go out again?
"Okay, please turn off your phone," Asuka said to the system in her mind.
I am a good person system:...
We must find a way to improve the host's emotional intelligence as soon as possible, otherwise, the system will be choked to death with just one word!
"Hey, a new mission has been released! Ask the host to make a delicious dessert for the upcoming guests and spend a pleasant afternoon tea with them."
"As a reward for the mission, the host's EQ value will be increased by 2 points, and the IQ will be increased by 1 point. Additional monetary reward: 1,000 yen."
Asuka was still uninterested when she heard the mission was announced at first, but when she saw that there was a monetary reward behind it, Asuka's eyes suddenly changed!
She had learned the basic knowledge of survival in this time and space and knew how important money was to this society. So when the reward money appeared, Asuka unexpectedly felt a rare sense of fighting spirit!
"Entertaining young guests?"
What dessert would be better?
Asuka looked bitter as she thought about it...
It seems... there is no need to be so entangled. After all, there are no ingredients at home, only a few vegetables.
You can't give your children vegetable salads.
Asuka thought as she opened the door for Shinchan and the others.
"Hello, big sister~x4" (except Shinchan). Kazama, Nene, Boo, and Masao said obediently.
"Hello, Shinchan, are they all your classmates?" Asuka turned aside to let everyone in, and then asked curiously when Shinchan took off his shoes.
"They are all my friends." Shinchan took off his shoes, then looked at Asuka expectantly and said:
"Sister, can you make us the pink and tender crystal peach blossom cake for lunch yesterday~ I really want to eat it!"
"Crystal Peach Blossom Cake?" Asuka lowered her head and suddenly saw the other children also looking pleadingly.
She said, "It's not that I won't make it for everyone, it's just that the only ingredients at home now are some vegetables, and I can't find all the things needed for the crystal peach blossom cake, so I can't make it."
After hearing this, all the children felt very sorry.
Shinchan even said directly: "That guy Mitsy must be lazy again! Such a big family doesn't even have anything to make snacks. I really want her husband to educate her!"
Asuka:?
Kazama, Nene, Masao, Boo:?
Shinchan, if you say that about your mother, will you really not get beaten?
"Sister...is there really nothing we can do?" Nene was still a little reluctant. She had been listening to Kazama and Shinchan at school today, praising how delicious the crystal peach blossom cake was. Nene was looking forward to it.
I have to say, children at this age are still very cute.
Nene was wearing a pink skirt with two braids, and her slightly chubby face made her look a little naive.
Asuka felt wronged and stared at by such a cute child, and she actually felt guilty in her heart!
She frowned and thought for a while, then said, "How about I make pineapple fried rice for you? It's sour, sweet, and very appetizing."
"Pineapple fried rice?" Shinchan and the other five asked, then quietly gathered together to discuss.
"Shinchan, have you ever eaten the fried rice made by big sister?" Nene said in her stingy voice.
"It's pineapple fried rice." Kazama corrected. "I've never tasted it, but the dishes made by my big sister are delicious."
Shinchan nodded in agreement.
"That's it, then let's ask Asuka sister to make pineapple fried rice for us." Nene thought for a while and agreed.
"Don't worry, Sister Asuka will not let us down!" Kazama said seriously.
"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it after hearing what you said." Masao agreed from the side.
"Then it's decided~"
Asuka, who witnessed the whole process from the sidelines, found it interesting and cooperated:
"Children, have you decided?"
"We have decided!" Shinchan said loudly: "Sister Asuka, please make pineapple fried rice for us!"
She nodded and was about to go to the kitchen when she noticed that Shinchan was still standing in the living room with a strange expression.
"What are you still doing?"
"Sister, do you still need our help today? There are many of us today, so we can definitely do it faster!"
Asuka's words of rejection were stuck in her throat, and she suddenly remembered that Mitsy had a headache every day from taking care of Shinchan. Let Shinchan, the troublemaker, be more tired and go to bed earlier today, and maybe Mitsy would feel much more relaxed.
So, she nodded and said, "Well, I need your help..."
...
Five minutes later, Kazama was holding a potato and carefully peeling it. Boo and Masao were worrying about the unprocessed pineapple, while Nene was seriously scouring the rice. Shinchan was not to be outdone. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, under Asuka's command, he obediently boiled a small pot of water.
"Pineapple is really difficult to deal with," Boo and Masao were still worried. At this time, Asuka walked over, took out a knife, and made a few cuts on the pineapple, then said:
"Okay, now you guys try again?"
Masao and Boo followed the cut made by Asuka and peeled off a piece of pineapple skin easily.
"Sister, you're so awesome!" Boo praised slowly.
"Yes, big sister is so amazing. She can make a pineapple so easy to peel with just a few cuts!"
Asuka, who didn't know why, patted both of their heads expressionlessly, then stood up and went about her own business as if nothing had happened.
Masao and Boo's faces turned red when their heads were touched, and then they burst into blazing enthusiasm the next moment.
"Boo, let's work hard!" Masao looked serious, looking particularly confident at this moment.
"Yeah!" Boo, who spoke slowly, nodded heavily, and then hummed.
...
The children's process of processing ingredients was relatively slow. What could have been solved in Asuka's hands in five or six minutes took a full twenty minutes in Shinchan's hands.
After all the ingredients were sorted, whether it was Shinchan, Nene, Kazama, Boo, or Masao, they all felt a sincere sense of pride and began to look forward to the pineapple fried rice for a while.
After all, this fried rice was made by me, and I worked hard for the snacks, which made me look forward to it even more while waiting.
"I'm so looking forward to it! Why haven't I heard the sound of fried rice yet?" Mitsy said anxiously.
"I'm sure you can't hear it now. The rice has just been steamed. With Asuka's serious attitude when cooking, she will never use freshly steamed rice to fry it." Kazama was serious about popularizing science.
Boo also added: "That's right~ I heard from my mom that freshly steamed rice isn't good for fried rice~" (Please slow down your tone automatically, otherwise, there is a "~" after each word to prevent you from talking about water.)
"Hehe, we had a big dinner last night~" Shinchan couldn't help but start bashing again when he saw everyone's expectant look.
"It's okay, Shinchan, we've heard you say it many times." Mitsy helplessly covered Shinchan's mouth, not wanting him to continue talking.
"Shinchan, please stop making trouble. Everyone is already hungry, and if you make trouble, everyone will be even hungrier." Kazama said dissatisfied.
"Okay! I won't say anything anymore, so what should we do now?"
"Let's make a pot of tea. I'm a little thirsty after making something just now." Boo stood up slowly. "Shinchan, where do you put your tea?"
"Let me come, how can I keep the guests busy? I'll make the tea~"
With that, Shinchan pushed Boo down, picked up the teapot on the table, got up, and went to the kitchen.
At this time, Asuka had just finished making pineapple juice. When she turned around and saw Shinchan holding a teapot to make tea, she immediately said:
"Shinchan, give this pineapple juice to your friends to drink. Remember to add some ice cubes."
"Pineapple juice? Sister, did you make it yourself?"
Asuka nodded silently. She was still busy with other things and had no time to chat with Shinchan now.
Fortunately, Shinchan didn't cause trouble this time. He took out the frozen ice cubes from the refrigerator and walked out.
"Come on, come on, let's all try the pineapple juice made by big sister!"
Hearing this, Kazama quickly stood up and placed cups on the table in front of everyone, then looked at Shinchan expectantly.
"Hey, Kazama, you look so anxious. You're really a kid." Shinchan completed his daily task—teasing Kazama—looking at the other person's red face, and then poured him a glass of pineapple juice...
After the circle fell, everyone said: "I'm going to start!"
Then, they held it happily and took a sip.
"It tastes good!" Mitsy took a sip and was immediately conquered by the sweet but not greasy pineapple juice.
"Yes, some honey should be added to this pineapple juice, that's why it's so sweet." Boo drank it happily.
I have to say that Boo's nose is really amazing. It reacts differently depending on his mood. What's even more exaggerated is that Boo can also fold his nose into different shapes according to his own preferences...
It can be said that it's incredible, and it's impossible for ordinary people to do it.
The five children sat obediently at the table and drank pineapple juice. After they finished the pot, Asuka also walked out with the pineapple fried rice.
The pineapple fried rice this time isn't exactly the same as the one Mitsy had for lunch. To cater to children's preferences, Asuka specially carved several lifelike little rabbits and flowers out of carrots for the fried rice, and also specially increased the amount of vegetables to supplement the children's vitamins.
"The pineapple fried rice is ready. Everyone, let's eat."
Asuka divided the fried rice in the pot into five portions and handed them to each child in turn.
"What a cute little rabbit!" Mitsy saw the little rabbit placed next to the fried rice at a glance and said in surprise.
Shinchan, on the side, was different. He picked up a carrot rabbit with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. His expression changed beautifully:
"This... this is made of carrots!"
As we all know, the vegetables Shinchan hates the most are carrots and green peppers, so when he ate the carrot, he was immediately irritated by the strange smell, and his whole face wrinkled up.
"Uh..." Shinchan was just about to spit out the carrot when he turned around and saw Asuka looking at him.
Nohara Shinchan: (灬°ω°灬) I can do it!
To avoid leaving a bad impression on his elder sister, Shinchan forced himself to eat the carrot-flavored bunny and then smiled at Asuka:
"Sister, even the carrot bunnies you made are delicious~"
"Really?" Asuka asked.
"Yeah, I didn't feel like it was enough even after I ate one. It's much tastier than the one made by my stingy old woman!" Shinchan was flattering, and when he was about to say something else, he suddenly saw the fake food in front of him. There were two extra little carrot rabbits on the plate of pineapple fried rice.
"It turns out that Shinchan likes to eat carrots so much. I happened to carve a little too much, so you can eat more."
Nohara Shinchan: (ꏿ᷄౪ꏿ̨᷄)͞ Iwas shocked at that time.
"Um...Sister, these..." Shinchan grimaced, not knowing what to say.
He turned his head and wanted to ask his friends for help, but saw that these people were almost buried in their plates, and they couldn't see the distress signal he sent.
Shinchan:...
"Shinchan, you must be able to eat it all." Asuka said softly.
"I... I can!" After saying that, Shinchan looked like he was ready to die and ate the carrot and rabbit in one bite.
