Chapter 360: Murder in Shikatori Town, Aozaki Orange's Spiritual World (Part 2)
"It's too late, the delivery boy has already got off work."
Hearing the words coming from the microphone, Aozaki Aoko's face turned completely dark. This was already the reply from the sixth restaurant. Judging from this attitude, the chance of going hungry tonight is very high.
It is now close to ten o'clock in the evening, and there is still a howling cold wind outside. Even wearing a heavy down jacket will not help, so the delivery boy naturally got off work early.
She put down the phone loudly and let out a long sigh.
"I'm going to be hungry today, what should I do, Youzhu?"
Aozaki Aoko sat on the sofa dejectedly, watching the program on the TV, and then poured herself a cup of hot black tea.
The aroma of black tea lingered on the tip of her nose, and the hunger in her belly was infinitely amplified. She rubbed her painful stomach with a look of despair on her face.
Yuu Kuonji didn't say anything, but silently took out a chocolate box from under the table. Inside the red soft satin was placed exquisitely crafted chocolates. Each one was made like a glass ball, smooth and round, it was hard to imagine that it was made from
A product of human hands. Various dried fruits are also used to make star shapes on it, and they are arranged into shapes to distinguish the different meanings represented by each chocolate.
If Aoko Aozaki remembers correctly, the brand of this box of chocolates is "Sixpenny Song", a luxury brand that can only be found in this bungalow in the world.
To be precise, this is not just chocolate, but some kind of familiar made from chocolate. Of course, it is still chocolate in nature and can be eaten.
Aozaki Aoko's eyes glowed green when she looked at the chocolate, and then she quickly picked up a piece of chocolate and threw it into her mouth. Feeling the sweetness spreading between her lips and teeth, she couldn't help but smile happily.
Although chocolate can't fill their stomachs, such high-calorie snacks can at least help the hungry two people survive the bitterly cold night.
At this time, Mikael had already slipped into the kitchen, doing his own work and getting enough food and clothing. Although as a special Dead Apostle, he only needed enough magic power to maintain his immortal life, but the desire for food and food was too much for him.
It is also an indispensable existence.
Looking at the kitchen utensils that could be used as mirrors, he couldn't help but sigh. These kitchen utensils were completely new and had never been used. It could be inferred that the owner of the bungalow had no habit of cooking by himself.
After rummaging in the refrigerator for a long time, he found half a box of sterile eggs, half a cabbage and some bacon. Although it looked a little shabby, he could still make something with a little bit of improvisation.
Mikael pulled out the kitchen knife and turned it skillfully. Then he saw a sudden cold light. The small half of cabbage on the chopping board turned into a neat cube, and the bacon was processed into even dices.
Facts have proved that swordsmanship can not only be used to cut people, but also very convenient for cutting vegetables and so on.
The oil in the wok was already hot. He added the diced bacon into it and slowly stir-fried it over low heat until an attractive golden color appeared on the surface. Then he added the cabbage that was processed first.
The alluring aroma of bacon spread from the kitchen to the entire bungalow. Aozaki Aoko suddenly felt that the chocolate in front of her was no longer fragrant. She and Kuonji Yuju looked at each other, then stood up in unison and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Go.
The kitchen can be said to be the most familiar unfamiliar area for Aozaki Aoko and Kuonji Yuju. It's not that Aozaki Aoko has never learned cooking skills, but her talent in cooking is the same as that in magic.
The art is obviously not something she can master with rough lines.
As for Kuonji Yuju...she taught Aozaki Aoko the skill of ordering takeout.
"I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."
Looking at the rice mixed with bacon and cabbage in the wok, Aozaki Aoko swallowed her saliva, and Kuonji Yuju also showed a rare "desire". Although he still had the expressionless expression, his bright eyes betrayed it.
Her true inner thoughts.
"Actually, my cooking skills are the best in the world, and it's easy to make dazzling dishes."
Mikael said leisurely, without disturbing the movements of his hands. While stir-frying the rice evenly, he also broke up the lumps of rice, added an appropriate amount of salt, continued to stir-fry, and then stir-fried the rice.
Put the cooked rice into a plate and set aside.
"Aozaki-san, Yuzu, could you please break the sterile eggs into a bowl and stir them evenly with chopsticks."
"Hey, don't be so skillful in ordering others around!"
However, although Aozaki Aoko said so, she still did as Mikael said. Maybe she used a little too much force, and some egg liquid flew out along the edge of the bowl, and was thrown on the
on Mikael's face.
"The force is lighter."
After sipping the egg liquid from his face, Mikael said helplessly.
"ha?"
"If you exert force like you do, the egg liquid will fly away. What will we eat later?"
"Isn't there also fried rice?" Aozaki Aoko replied without thinking.
"But what I want to make is omelette rice."
Take the stirred egg liquid from Aozaki Aoko, pick out a piece of broken eggshell wrapped in it, and then when the oil is hot, pour it from all sides to the middle, allowing the egg liquid to flow naturally to the middle of the pot and spread it out.
Egg skin.
After it was slightly solidified, Mikael placed the prepared fried rice on one side of the egg skin, quickly folded the other half of the egg skin in half, pressed the edges tightly, and took it out of the pot after it was set.
"It's a pity that the egg skin is broken. If there is starch, this situation can be avoided."
Looking at the finished omurice on the plate, Mikael said with regret, but the materials were limited, so it was already amazing to be able to do this.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Aozaki Aoko held a shiny silver knife in her hand and kept making gestures on the omelette rice, as if she was thinking about where to cut the knife.
But in the end, it was evenly divided into three equal parts. Although the portion was a little small, it was better than nothing.
She quickly finished off her portion of the omelette rice, and licked her lips, still savoring the delicious food left between her lips and teeth. Suddenly, she noticed the smile on Mikael's face, but no matter how she looked at it, she had a malicious feeling.
.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something pleasant."
Mikael shook his head, scooped up a spoonful of omelette rice, and tasted the fruits of his labor leisurely.
Just a moment ago, someone stepped into the trap he set.
………
………
"Ahem...there's some trouble."
In a secluded corner of Misaki Central Park, the flat stone slabs on the ground were lifted up to the sky, leaving a large pit half a person deep. The blood and flesh mixed with rags were splashed freely, staining the surrounding area with blood.
Aozaki Orange leaned weakly on the tree trunk, her face was pale, and her bloody right arm could even see the bones inside. If she hadn't sensed the danger in time, she would have been shattered to pieces by now.
The wound became increasingly hot, and black lines spread along the blood to other parts, forming spiderweb-like marks on the skin.
【It is indeed poison.】
The little magic power left in her body became the source of power for the development of the black line. She endured the weakness and burning pain, and tried hard to take out a test tube from the bag on her waist.
There was a complicated wry smile on Aozaki Orange's face. She had already guessed that Mikael would take revenge, but she didn't expect it would come so soon. Fumi Eri had already been killed, and she didn't expect that man would die so easily.
, even the corpse has been reduced to a prop to plot against himself.
[Hope the antidote will work...]
With trembling hands, he unlocked the magic seal on the top of the test tube, then raised his slender neck and drank the lavender liquid inside in one gulp.
