Anime Crossover: Am I the only one who can see ghosts?

Page 17

“No, it’s two women. They seem to be nobles over there and wanted to come with her to take a look!” Erina Nakiri shook her head and said, “She spends all her time learning to cook. How could she possibly have time for romance?”

Otherwise, I would have left her far behind; that girl is incredibly strong-willed!

Although the two sisters have a good relationship, they are also competitors. Alice Nakiri has regarded Erina Nakiri as her target since childhood and often starts food battles.

This not only didn't harm their relationship, but actually made it even better.

Fang Yan even knew that the reason why Alice Nakiri worked so hard to improve her cooking skills was mainly for Erina Nakiri, and that she wanted to cook dishes that could satisfy Erina Nakiri's God Tongue.

As a member of the Nakiri family, Alice Nakiri naturally knew the shortcomings of God Tongue. She didn't want Erina Nakiri to become like her aunt in the future, so she wanted to use her cooking skills to save Erina Nakiri!

"Perhaps!" Fang Yan smiled noncommittally, then took out five talismans and handed them to Erina Nakiri, saying, "Take these talismans!"

"What is this?" Erina Nakiri took the talisman and examined it in her hand with a puzzled look.

“These aren’t the kind of talismans you see everywhere; they’re the real kind that can exorcise demons and save your life in a pinch!” Fang Yan said seriously. “Promise me you won’t stray far from these talismans, even when you’re sleeping.”

"You found a Taoist priest or an Onmyoji?" Erina Nakiri looked at Fang Yan in surprise. She knew that Fang Yan's family was very powerful on the mainland. Otherwise, given that Fang Yan had let her taste cake when she was a child, but fed her with his mouth and tricked her into giving him her first kiss, her grandfather would have taken care of it long ago.

"Yes, I found a master! A very capable one, don't worry, he's not one of those charlatans!" Fang Yan thought for a moment and added, "And don't worry about it going badly, if it's gone, I can go to him for it."

“But if I’m not mistaken, this handwriting is recent, and it looks like yours!” Erina Nakiri thought for a moment, but still didn’t say it aloud.

She knew Fang Yan was lying, but at this moment, she chose to believe him! Moreover, she also sensed that these talismans did seem to be somewhat different.

In such a crucial matter, Fang Yan would never act recklessly! Could it be that what Fang Yan said yesterday about going to cultivate was true? Is he actually a hidden cultivator?

My future boyfriend is a hidden big shot, but he hasn't told me yet. How can I pretend I don't know? I need help urgently!

Am I destined to become the pampered little wife in a classic tale of a domineering god-king falling in love with me?

Chapter 43

As a girl who studies light novels and shoujo manga as a guide to romance, Erina Nakiri is, in a way, quite naive.

Sometimes, she wished Fang Yan could be like the male protagonist in some novels—well, romantic. But unfortunately, this guy just couldn't be romantic!

This left Erina Nakiri slightly disappointed. At this rate, when would they be able to officially be together? This idiot, who knows when he'll confess his feelings.

But things are different now. Erina Nakiri has come to regard Fang Yan as a hidden master, while she is now her beloved wife. Fang Yan prefers to help solve problems behind the scenes, but he doesn't want to tell her.

Just like before, with the case of Shinomiya Kojiro, his grandfather contacted so many people, but none of them could help Shinomiya Kojiro solve the problem. Moreover, Shinomiya Kojiro is a member of the Shinomiya Group, so it's obvious that this time Shinomiya Kojiro must have also contacted someone through the Shinomiya Foundation.

However, even the Shinomiya Foundation failed to solve the problem.

However, after he told Fang Yan about this, Shinomiya Kojiro solved the problem that same day and then sent him a tutorial video in the middle of the night. You see, as a chef, he takes his signature dish very seriously, as if it were his second life.

In many cases, even one's own children wouldn't pass on their culinary skills, but Shinomiya Kojiro taught him and shared many of his insights. If one were merely worried about losing their cooking skills or not wanting their cuisine to be lost, this wouldn't be the case.

Despite her own attempts to explain it to herself, Erina Nakiri admitted that she still found it somewhat difficult to accept, since it seemed that she and Kojiro Shinomiya had no real relationship.

The two sides weren't particularly familiar with each other.

But now Erina Nakiri has thought of another answer: Fang Yan will solve the problem with Kojiro Shinomiya, and as a reward, he will have Kojiro Shinomiya teach her his secret recipe for a killer dish.

Erina Nakiri could understand such a transaction.

Fang Yan had been silently protecting him all along, just like when he was a child, he was bullied by that scumbag father who forced him to eat all sorts of dishes he didn't like. Then Fang Yan used his methods to join forces with his grandfather to remove his father's custody.

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri's gaze towards Fang Yan softened even more. Fang Yan, don't worry. Since you want to hide your identity as a cultivator, I will cooperate with you and play the role of a naive and innocent girl who doesn't know anything.

"Hmm?" Fang Yan glanced at Erina Nakiri strangely. For some reason, he felt that Erina Nakiri seemed to be thinking about something.

However, he was used to it. The girl in front of him was a noble young lady who was difficult to approach in the eyes of others, but in many ways, she was just a pure girl who liked to daydream. Even after being modified by Fang Yan, this LSP, Nakiri Erina was still innocent in some ways.

"By the way, have you decided where to go for tomorrow or the day after? After all, Alice's friends are coming over, you can't just leave them unattended, can you?" Fang Yan asked.

After all, they are nobles in Europe, so Erina Nakiri will need to treat them well.

This is a matter of etiquette, and I believe that even Erina Nakiri will go at that time.

"Yes, we're planning to go to the mountain resort in the north, the one we went to when we were kids!" Erina Nakiri didn't hide anything, saying, "The kind in the mountains. Actually, my grandfather didn't initially plan to go there, since it doesn't seem very safe these days."

However, that's what those people demanded!

"Hmm?" Fang Yan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. Something seemed amiss about this matter.

The revival of spiritual energy is a global trend, even in Europe. As nobles, they should know about this, yet they still deliberately venture into deep mountains and forests at this time.

This is somewhat problematic.

"Let's go together then!" After thinking for a moment, Fang Yan said to Erina Nakiri, "I haven't been on vacation for a while, so let's go together!"

“Okay!” Nakiri Erina agreed to Fang Yan’s request without hesitation. She also enjoyed being with Fang Yan. Since the end of summer vacation, they hadn’t gone on vacation together for several months.

Erina Nakiri also wants to go out, but there's still some time before the holiday.

As for asking Fang Yan whether he needed to go to school, Erina Nakiri didn't ask. Fang Yan had been smart since he was a child and learned everything quickly. Even if he missed a few days of school, it wouldn't be a problem for him.

Unfortunately, Fang Yan has no interest in cooking. Otherwise, given his excellent learning ability, well, it's really hard to say whether he could cook a good meal.

Erina Nakiri originally thought Fang Yan could cook well, but then she realized that Fang Yan had practiced calligraphy for a long time and still couldn't write well. It seemed that Fang Yan couldn't handle this kind of delicate work!

(I don't know why, but my computer crashed this afternoon. After restarting, a lot of the smart vocabulary was gone. For example, I spent ages looking for the character "薙" in Erina Nakiri's name. So annoying!)

Chapter 44

"Ugh, you bastard, you put this thing directly in my mouth! It tastes so fishy!" Erina Nakiri glared angrily at her beloved, forcing herself to swallow the food while suppressing her nausea.

This scene attracted the attention of many diners nearby, since many people tend to misinterpret such words.

Fortunately, this was just a late-night food stall, not some kind of chaotic place; otherwise, many people would probably have considered it inappropriate content.

The environment here is not good, the food doesn't taste good either, it can't even be considered a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

You'll hardly see any wealthy people here.

If it were for some special purpose, Fang Yan wouldn't have brought Erina Nakiri here.

If the culinary world knew that Erina Nakiri would come to a place like this, they would probably be speechless with shock.

"There's no other way. What I want is for you to have no reaction and subconsciously taste these things!" Fang Yan said helplessly as he picked up a half-cooked oyster and said to Erina Nakiri, "Disgust is temporary, but it's better than ending up like your mother in the future!"

To be honest, the food here didn't taste good, and it wasn't even fresh; the oysters, in particular, had a fishy, ​​foul smell. Normally, Fang Yan would probably have filed a complaint.

Is this food even fit for human consumption? Finding a suitable restaurant for Erina Nakiri is proving quite difficult.

"Ugh!" Erina Nakiri thought of her mother's appearance, and swallowed the oyster Fang Yan handed her with a pale face. She swallowed it in one gulp, then her face changed again, and she hurriedly ran to a dark corner to vomit.

Fang Yan quickly followed, patting Erina Nakiri's back, his eyes filled with heartache.

This is also a very helpless thing. God Tongue gave Erina Nakiri outstanding culinary talent, but it is also a curse on her. As God Tongue grows, it needs more and more delicious food, otherwise, it will feel that everything is garbage.

Just like Erina Nakiri's mother, who is an extremely excellent chef herself, and has many people around her who can be called the world's top chefs, even they can no longer make food that satisfies her.

This made Erina Nakiri's mother prefer intravenous fluids to eating cooked food.

If Erina Nakiri's God Tongue is not dealt with, it is possible that she will fall into the same situation in the future.

Fang Yan was not a chef, nor was he particularly talented in this area. Naturally, he needed to consider Erina Nakiri's future, so he chose to fight poison with poison.

Isn't the Tongue of God picky? If you were to taste something unpalatable and then eat something relatively delicious afterwards, wouldn't it be as good as a delicacy?

Making someone with a divine tongue eat such disgusting food would be torture. The disgusting taste would be a thousand times stronger, countless times more repulsive than eating feces.

However, out of trust in Fang Yan, Erina Nakiri ultimately chose to try this method, and the results... were quite good.

Erina Nakiri's God Tongue has been developed quite well, but the negative effects are not as great as those of her mother at the same age.

At least Erina Nakiri can make dishes that satisfy herself, and she can even eat dishes that are typical of Totsuki Academy students.

The situation is deteriorating much more slowly than expected.

It's just that every month we have to endure this disgusting smell.

However, in order to avoid ending up like her mother, Erina Nakiri chose to endure it.

Erina Nakiri's condition had once tempted her mother, who even tried it herself. Unfortunately, she gave up after just one attempt because Erina's condition was too severe; she simply couldn't bear the stench.

This left Erina Nakiri with lingering fear. Fortunately, she met Fang Yan; if it had been a few years later, she might have ended up like her mother.

"Cough cough!" Seeing that Erina Nakiri had vomited enough, Fang Yan brought her some mineral water. He was quite familiar with this process, and although he felt sorry for her, there was nothing he could do to help.

Erina Nakiri took the water, rinsed her mouth first, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "Almost done!"

He then gritted his teeth and said, "However, the food this boss delivered today seems to be even more pungent and foul than usual! I'm pretty sure my God Tongue hasn't evolved recently; it's just that the ingredients are too stale!"

"Uh!" Fang Yan was also speechless: "Forget it, it's hard to find a chef with such bad cooking skills. Even I would have a hard time making a worse dish than him!"

“Alright!” Erina Nakiri glanced at Fang Yan but didn’t say anything more. Actually, she really wanted to say that she would be willing to eat any dish Fang Yan made for her, no matter how bad it was, but she thought better of it.

If I develop a negative association with the food, it could affect my relationship with Fang Yan. Unlike this restaurant, where I might later, when I'm in a bad mood and find another equally bad place, I'd definitely come back to cause trouble for this one.

Chapter 45

"Hmm?" Just as Fang Yan was comforting Erina Nakiri, he suddenly sensed something was wrong and looked at the alleyway next to him. It was pitch black, and because there were no streetlights, it was practically pitch black.

"What's wrong?" Erina Nakiri asked, having recovered her composure.

"It's nothing!" Fang Yan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.

He had sensed a special aura earlier, but unfortunately, it was fleeting and disappeared after Erina Nakiri spoke.

This left Fang Yan speechless!

Sure enough, the world is becoming more and more turbulent. I couldn't feel it when I didn't have power, but now that I have power, I can sense some special auras nearby.

Perhaps at some point in the future, many people will not even know how they died!

This world is getting more and more dangerous! When I get back, I still need to practice drawing talismans properly. These things can save those around me in critical moments!

Fang Yan is not a saint, but he doesn't want the people around him to suffer because of certain special events. He may not be able to help everyone in the world, but he will try his best to help those around him.

"Alright, let's go back!" Seeing Fang Yan's expression, Erina Nakiri was a little puzzled, but she still spoke up.

"Okay!" Fang Yan didn't refuse. He simply walked up to Erina Nakiri, half-squatted down, and said, "Come on up!"
