Sake, though not strong, has a unique and mellow flavor.
Later that evening, everyone went to the market, bought a lot of ingredients, and returned to Zhu Zi's house.
Zhu Zi's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen. Seeing everyone returning with so many ingredients, she smiled helplessly: "You are guests, why should you go shopping for groceries! I already bought them! Zhu Zi, why didn't you stop us!"
Zhu Zi stuck out her tongue and said, "It's okay, Mom. There are a lot of us, and we eat a lot, so it's good to buy a little more to have on hand."
With so many people to eat, it's impossible for Zhu Zi's mother to cook all the meals by herself; that would be too tiring for her.
The girls went into the kitchen to help, some washing vegetables, some chopping vegetables, some tending the fire, and some stir-frying vegetables.
Zhu Zi's mother stood to the side, but couldn't get any work to do.
Looking at everyone bustling about, she remarked with emotion, "It's been a long time since our house has been this lively."
Zhu Zi told her mother that the boss had given the raccoon a new name, Li Yi.
Zhu Zi's mother repeated the name a few times, beaming with joy, and said it was indeed a good name.
Not long after, Zhu Zi's father came home from get off work. When he opened the door and saw so many strangers in the house, he was a little confused at first.
After learning the situation, he greeted everyone with an embarrassed smile, saying that his home was too small and he had not been able to provide adequate hospitality.
Zhu Zi's parents and Yao Yao's parents are actually quite similar; they are both very simple and kind people.
With the girls' help in the kitchen, the meal was quickly prepared.
Zhu Zi's parents said they had never eaten such delicious food before, no wonder their daughter has gained weight.
Zhu Zi puffed out her cheeks and said that she hadn't gained weight.
She often gets massages from her boss to easily maintain her figure, but she's too embarrassed to tell her parents about oil massages, so she can only eat her meal with her head down in frustration.
As a result, I ate an extra bowl.
After the meal, everyone helped clean up the room and wash the dishes.
Zhu Zi's mother's eyes were full of smiles, feeling that the friends her daughter had made outside were all really good people.
After sitting and drinking tea and chatting for a while, everyone got up to say goodbye and leave.
Zhu Zi did not walk with the others.
She finally got to go home, so she wanted to spend a few days with her parents.
I'll also take this opportunity to get to know Rii better.
Watching everyone's backs disappear into the distance, Zhu Zi touched her still somewhat full stomach, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
Sigh, I guess I won't be able to get a massage from the boss tonight.
There was a guest room in Zhu Zi's house, but since she wasn't home before, Li Yi slept in her room.
Now that Zhu Zi is back, Li Yi was originally going to sleep in the guest room, but Zhu Zi thought it would be too much trouble to tidy up. Since she was only staying at home for a few days anyway, there was no need to go through all that trouble. They could just sleep together.
Rii had no objection to this and quietly agreed.
There's no way to take a bath at home.
After taking a bath, Zhu Zi returned to his room, took out his pen and paper, and began to continue his writing.
Li Yi watched curiously from the side: "Sister Zhu Zi, are you writing a book?"
"Ah."
"You're so amazing!"
"It's alright, Rii, can you read?"
"Won't……"
"That won't do. I'll teach you to read. Oh, right, I remember there are literacy textbooks on my phone..."
Zhu Zi picked up her phone.
"Found it. Here, see for yourself."
"Okay, Sister Zhu Zi."

To get back to Narukami Taisha, you have to climb Kagemōyama.
That's too tiring.
After leaving Inazuma Castle, Xia Ci took out the hovercar.
Everyone got into the car, and we drove straight up the mountain.
Before long, the car landed on the mountaintop, and Narukami Taisha Shrine came into view.
Several priestesses came forward to greet them.
Yae no Miko stepped out of the carriage, gave them a few instructions, and then dismissed them.
As for the others, they did not get out of the car.
They had already entered the bathhouse inside the car and were taking a bath there, saying they would get a massage later.
As for Wendy the Dragon King and Risui Shizuki, they didn't come back together. Instead, they found an inn in Inazuma Castle and stayed there. They'll probably go out drinking and sightseeing that night.
Yae no Miko stood alone outside the carriage, watching the cherry blossoms fall before her, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
At one point, she seemed to realize something and turned around.
A familiar figure appeared there.
It's a shadow.
She looked at Yae no Miko and asked, "Where is my sister?"
Yae no Miko pointed to the car and said, "They're all taking a bath inside."
"Bath?"
Ying glanced at the car and asked again.
Are you all out and about today?
"Yes, we've been shopping all day."
"Is it interesting?"
"Some things happened, and they were quite interesting."
"Oh?"
"A raccoon dog monster has appeared in Zhu Zi's house to repay a debt of gratitude..."
Yae no Miko recounted the interesting things that happened today.
Ying listened quietly, her face expressionless.
As if remembering something, Yae no Miko suddenly said, "When we were eating at the restaurant tonight, she said that she really likes hot pot now."
At this moment, Ying's expression finally changed slightly: "Sister likes to eat casserole?...What is casserole?"
Yae no Miko explained, "It's a cooking method from Liyue, similar to Inazuma's sukiyaki..."
Ying seemed to be deep in thought: "Does my sister really like eating sukiyaki now...?"
Yae Miko said, "What she really likes isn't the regular sukiyaki, but the kind with slime added."
Ying was slightly taken aback: "Add... slime?"
Yae no Miko nodded and said, "That's right. I also found it strange at first, but that's exactly what she told me. She also said that she thought the taste was very special."
Ying couldn't help but fall into thought.
Yae no Miko pointed to the car and asked, "Do you want to go inside the Dust Song Pot and take a bath with Shin?"
Ying looked up, a hint of interest in her eyes, and asked, "Sister, you're not taking a bath alone, are you?"
Yae no Miko shook her head and said, "No, they bathed together in large groups."
“Oh… my sister told me yesterday that she’s going to the castle tower tonight to start taking over Inazuma’s administration. I was planning to go with her, but since she’s still taking a bath, I’ll head back first. Tell her I’ll be waiting for her at the castle tower.”
"it is good."
The shadow disappeared.
Yae no Miko looked in the direction of the castle tower, a strange smile appearing on her lips.
Dishes made by Kage...
If I remember correctly, it seems...
--
The shadow returned to the castle tower.
A large pile of government documents was placed on the table inside the room.
But she ignored them, simply tapping her hand lightly on the table.
A few minutes later, Ying called out towards the outside, "Someone come here."
Then, someone outside the door respectfully replied, "General, what are your orders?"
