Restaurant Of In Between Chapter 16: Servant
🕑 Added 2024-06-15 13:22:20 +0000 UTCWe arrived at Shiro’s house, for some orphan like me, she's living quite a life. A Japanese mansion, there's no way an average person would be able to afford this kind of luxury.
Her late father must have been loaded for him to afford this kind of house, either way. It's going to be the first time I'm going inside her place.
I've always wondered what it looks like from inside, sure the outside looks grand but I wonder what's in this house.
—
As we stepped into the mansion, I couldn't help but realize that the space was way bigger than I thought. There's also lots of decoration around the house- wait, are those spears?
I'm pretty, they aren't just a decoration but genuine weapons that could kill a person given a chance.
As I walked alongside with the owner of the house, I noticed that the mansion also has a dojo, a real life dojo!
I thought those things were only seen in the movies, I mean there's a dojo in the academy, however a dojo in someone's house?
That's a thing.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at the living room and Fujimaru-sensei immediately laid in the tatami mats like nobody’s business.
With her lying like that, she gives off the image of a big lazy cat. How is this person an adult again?
She wasn't even embarrassed with me here, it's like embarrassment is a foreign thing for her.
“Fuji-nee…why are you acting like this especially when we have a guest?” Shiro stared at her guardian with a strained smile.
“I'm soooo tired from work, that's why I need to rest!” She answered without missing a beat.
“Do that in your own house!”
“This is my house!”
“No it isn't!”
“Nuh-uh.”
“Don't ‘nuh-uh’ me!”
The two women are bickering and forth and it was getting clearer that Fujimaru-sensei won't budge on this matter, as stubborn Shiro is, she's lacking compared to the tiger of fuyuki.
In the end she had to give up, which was really shocking considering who she was, then Shiro gave me an apologetic look. “Sorry about her, she's always like this…”
I shook my head and answered. “No, it's not your fault. I have a feeling that she's like this.”
“Oi, stop talking about me like I'm not here.” An annoyed tiger said.
However, we ignored her and continued.
“Anyway, please take a seat while I prepare the dinner.”
“Can I help?” I said.
“No, no you're a guest. I can't let you work.” Shiro shook her head and denied.
“Don't worry about it, two more hands could make things faster, besides it certainly didn't stop you from helping me with the dishes before.” I reminded her with a grin.
Realizing that refusing would make her a hypocrite, she reluctantly agreed. “Alright..but! I'm the one who's going to be incharge!”
I looked at her in amusement, however I wasn't exactly surprised after all chefs or cooks in general are territorial with their kitchen and I wasn't excluded from that list.
“Of course, you're the chef. Now shall we?”
I saw her nodding and then followed her to the kitchen to cook.
—
While I was chopping the ingredients, she prepared the meat and the spices, since this wasn't the first time we worked together, we were in sync and there's no single inaction between us, we didn't even need to communicate and just assisted one another.
We know what the other wanted thanks to the body language, so the cooking went without any issues.
As I was assisting her, I realized something. ‘I want her to work with me.’
With her working in my establishment, preparing ingredients and meat would be easier, and I don't even need to worry about the quality of the food.
Maybe I should ask her after this.
—
We finished preparing dinner and served it to the living room table. The aroma made Fujimaru-sensei wake up from her slumber. “Yay! Dinner’s ready! Hurry up, I'm starving.”
Shiro and I couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
Honestly it feels like she's the guest here rather than I, either way I'm not complaining.
I sat down as Shiro prepared the plates and utensils.
After that, Fujimaru-sensei said, “Itadakimasu!”
And devoured the dinner we both made with gusto. “Hmmm! Swo gwood~!”
“Fuji-nee, don't talk while your mouth is full.” The red-haired teen couldn't help but sigh.
“Heh, if I didn't know any better I would have thought you're the ward and she's the child that you're responsible for watching.” I said with amusement.
Shiro shot him a wry smile. “I can't disagree with that statement..”
Then we started eating dinner and it turned out to be good. If I practiced a bit more I could replicate this taste.
“How was the food senpai?” Shiro asked.
“Oh, it's good. It's better than what I cook.” I replied honestly.
“You're exaggerating, I'm just a household cook and you own a restaurant. How could I be better than you.”
“You are, just because I own a restaurant it doesn't mean I'm a better cook, you're better than me…at least for now.” I smirked at her.
That made her smile and said. “Is that a challenge?”
“Maybe.” I smiled back daring her to take the challenge.
“You're on.”
I saw the fiery determination in her eyes, with that said I should also step up my game, as I'm going to surpass her.
Since I issued the challenge, it would be embarrassing if I won't improve myself.
With that in mind, I thought of practicing at home, especially when I'm not broke anymore and could get some ingredients at a dirt cheap price using the system.
—
After eating dinner, I saw Shiro arranging the dirty plates and utensils and I decided to help. “Let me help you with that.”
I didn't wait for her permission and started arranging the dirty bowls myself, after that I went toward the kitchen with her and put it on the sink.
“Thanks.”
“No problem.” It was no big deal and besides carrying dirty plates and utensils are part of owning a restaurant.
Then as she turned on the water on the sink, suddenly the metal pipe that held the water broke making her wet from head to her waist.
“Are you alright-” The words stuck in my mouth as I saw her wet shirt and saw an amazing sight.
‘It’s pink.’ I saw her pink bra and massive breasts.
It took her a while to notice that she's basically semi-naked in front of me, but it was already too late as I already saw that unforgettable sight.
Immortalized in my mind, as she realized that she flashed me, she quickly covered her god given-gifts and blushed in embarrassment. “I-i’m sorry!”
‘Sorry? What is there to apologize for? In fact I should be thankful for showing me such an amazing sight.’ I thought in my head.
“There's nothing to apologize for, by the way we should take care of that.” I pointed at the leaking pipe.
“Ah, yeah. But I should change my clothes first, do you mind helping me get the tools on the shed? It's in the back of the house.” Shiro said.
I nodded and said. “Of course, I'll be back before you know it.”
Shiro gave me a thankful yet embarrassed look and went toward her room to change.
“I wasn't really expecting that, how lucky. I thought it only happens in TV or anime, but I think it's also possible in reality.” I smiled as I recalled the scene before.
—
The shed wasn't hard to find, only an idiot with no sense of direction wouldn't be able to find the shed.
I went inside the shed and started looking for the tools that she mentioned only to realize something. “Wait, what were the tools she's asking me to bring?”
And when I was about to leave to look for Shiro, suddenly I noticed something beneath me. “Huh..? A drawing?”
I suddenly got curious and started to move some things to check the full image of the drawing on the ground.
As I got a good look at it I realized something. “Isn't this kind of similar to those summoning ritual in movies-”
My sentence was cut off as I saw that the summoning circle was glowing making me scream in fright. “AHHHH!”
I didn't notice that my right hand was burning and a command seal appeared.
The circle glowed red for a couple of seconds and a figure appeared in the very same summoning circle.
I was caught off guard and couldn't balance myself as I fell into the dirty floor of the shed.
I was looking at the person that suddenly appeared in the summoning circle, this figure was wearing a cloak covering the majority of their face, however it was obvious that their gender is a female because of her body portions.
I stared at the woman above me and she started right back and said. “Servant Caster, are you my summoner?”
And that's how I summoned my servant of this upcoming holy grail.
—
A/N: Shit is about to get real, honestly I don't intend to change the majority of the servants that fought in the original holy grail war, either way I bet you weren't expecting that didn't you?
Also, his servant is the first in the war, so the war would only start after a month.
