At night, the warm sunshine disappears with the skyline, and Human Village is an ancient village with roads covered with moss, and smoke rises from the roof.
Wow.
Night Sparrow Diner's glass and wooden door was opened.
"Good evening." Mystia originally wanted to greet the guest, but found that the person coming was Yuyuko, so he immediately shrank under the counter.
"What are you going to eat tonight?" Shirou Emiya put the lamprey covered in sauce on the charcoal grill, turned around and asked, "Still the same?"
"Yeah, same old thing."
"Okay, let's have one of everything on the menu."
"Can I add a roasted bird?"
"We don't prepare poultry dishes here."
"Where is Mystia?"
"That's the boss, not the ingredients."
After appeasing their greedy Yuyuko, Shirou Emiya began to prepare their own ingredients.
There is still some time before the official opening, but some customers will sit here early to avoid queuing later. This is an unspoken rule that only regular customers can use.
"That's why I don't want to entertain that ghost."
Once when Eternal Night Incident was activated, the defeated Mystia retained a psychological shadow on Yuyuko.
"That's an important customer who can provide a huge amount of sales." Shirou Emiya joked, "Boss, it's almost time for you to get used to it."
"If it weren't for your suggestion, I wouldn't come to Human Village to open a store." Mystia sighed.
Mystia Lorela is a night sparrow monster. She originally ran a mobile barbecue stall with a red lantern in Night Road, a place with few pedestrians. However, after she met this human named Shirou Emiya and was defeated in the battle with Spell Card, she was asked to open a shop in Human Village.
Although strictly speaking, she was initially rescued by this person when she was attacked by a group of strange human ability users.
He has a palate like Monster, and after taking a bite of hamagey, he told me the recipe for his unique sauce; he is very good at cooking and can make many different types of very delicious dishes.
He is very strong and handsome in appearance.
"It's much safer here, right?" Shirou Emiya laughed, "Boss, your demonic power has also faded. Now you are no different from an ordinary little human girl. It's better not to be alone in the wild."
"Besides, business is much better now."
"It's all because of your cooking skills." Mystia is very self-aware of this.
"Don't worry, I will teach you all the cooking skills."
"There are boundaries in spiritual practice, but there are no boundaries in cooking. He is worthy of being our master of cooking."
Fairy Bie Xue, who chose not to be paid, but came to learn cooking skills and techniques, as well as other cooks from Chaldea, all expressed their praise for this.
Night Sparrow Diner is able to receive so many guests thanks to Shirou Emiya's connections.
After getting along with him, I feel that he is very considerate and gentle. I have to say there is nothing wrong with him.
Wow--!
"Shirou~I'm out of school~" Illya pushed Door Opening and jumped to Shirou Emiya's side, giving him a hug and a kiss skillfully.
"Well, maybe it's not good to attack young human women like this." Mystia was a little lost.
The two are still brother and sister.
There are rumors that these two people went from Japan to Germany, and then from Germany to seclusion to Gensokyo's forbidden love in order to avoid the secular eyes of the outside world.
"Brother Shirou, we are out of school too."
Magical Girl Illya, Miyu and others standing at the door looked at the two intimate people over there with blushing faces, while Kuro looked envious.
"Welcome, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Shirou Emiya invited several people to sit down. At the same time, he glanced at Illya who was hugging him and the elementary school student's schoolbag behind him, and said:
"Illya, why do you still go to school at Keine's School, who are just kids?"
"But my age is not even close to the average among my classmates." Illya got off Shirou Emiya's body and spread his hands. "And Shirou isn't looking forward to it?"
What to expect?
"My fiancée is still in elementary school or something." Illya turned his head shyly, put his index finger on his lips and licked it.
"Haha. Let me go, sister."
Really unable to bear the thorny gazes around her, Shirou Emiya rarely respected her true age and family status, so she called Illya as her adopted sister, trying to make this person a little more age-conscious.
Little did I know.
In the eyes of others, this scene seemed like a special interest between adults. Many people chose to distance themselves slightly, leaving some space for the two of them, and at the same time began to focus on the matters at hand.
Because night is coming.
On the clay stove, the casserole is spitting out pearly white bubbles, the kombu is spreading in the soup, and the white mist and aroma gradually fill every corner.
Shirou Emiya took out a piece of freshly picked perilla from the rattan basket, wrapped it in batter, and put it into the oil pan. There was still glutinous rice flour remaining on the chopping board on the other side, which was being diffused by Steam into a warm and sweet aroma.
The aromas of these foods blend together with the sounds of cooking in the open kitchen.
Of course, there are also the sounds of hungry diners' empty stomachs
The door was opened again, and Human Village and the sky seemed to be plunged into the darkness of Serenity, but the red lantern hanging at the door of the store separated the two worlds.
"Good evening, eh, why did it happen like this?"
Shirou Emiya saw Song Shuhang walking into the store in a panic, and asked, "Is it possible that those teams Reincarnator are in trouble?"
Song Shuhang and Zhang Heng's complexions are now pale, and the cracks on their lips caused by lack of water can be seen with the naked eye.
"Remilia couldn't control his stand-in ability. He was complaining about not bleeding enough today, so he set his sights on us."
Song Shuhang covered his forehead and said, "Is there anything that can moisturize your throat and replenish your blood?"
"Um. What's the relationship between the two?"
"She asked us to praise Majesty for Red Moon."
Song Shuhang laughed at himself, "It was so cute, I couldn't help but think about it, so I was poked by Gungnir several times."
"Thank you for your hard work"
Shirou Emiya took out the prunes from the glass jar, with the wrinkled skin covered with icing sugar, then mixed some fruits with the drinks and handed them to the two of them.
Not long after, Remilia, the instigator, came to the store with the Scarlet Devil Mansion and everyone else. She first glanced at Song Shuhang, who was sitting in the back, and then looked away awkwardly.
"One cup of bloody Mary and one cup of Avici Hell."
"Okay."
Shirou Emiya started to prepare strawberry juice and Mapo Xuewang.
Ever since Remilia had a 'problem' with his sense of taste, he hasn't drunk ordinary human blood for a long time. It seems that his body has no need for it, so when he drinks tea, it only tastes like rust.
But after trying the food Xuewang again, it became a must-order dish when visiting the restaurant.
"Is there any bread?" Sakuya Izayoi asked, "Master Elaina asked me to help bring some back."
Patchouli's library stores a large number of magic books, many of which have self-written magic books for True Magic created by Record.
Elaina naturally will not let go of this opportunity to collect True Magic, so Scarlet Devil Mansion has recently added a host Demoness.
I just don't know why, but when I was chatting with Patchouli, I heard that Remilia turned into Blood Descendant of Su Lin and Meng Qi, and the other person's expression collapsed.
As a perfect head maid, Sakuya can usually bake pastries such as bread, but the attack she encountered today caused all the stored ingredients to be scrapped.
"Yes, yes." Shirou Emiya scratched his head.
Su Lin had previously told himself not to sell bread to Elaina too often, and to buy more nutritious foods such as vegetables and meat when ordering meals.
"I'll make some sandwiches later."
There are meat, vegetables and bread, and the nutrition can keep up. Gensokyo There are many rare and delicious wild vegetables in this place, which are perfect for making sandwiches.
Since Night Sparrow Diner is a place similar to an izakaya to the outside world, and most of the villagers in Human Village are used to having dinner at home, the huge store is quite empty.
Generally speaking, things start to get busy in the second half of the night, but today there were obviously a little more guests, and it was earlier than usual.

"Brother Li, you can order whatever you want. I'm treating you today." Xiao Hong walked in with Dawn and others.
After this group of Reincarnator scanned the store, they came to a corner and sat down, observing secretly while using the team's spiritual link.
"I always feel my heart aches when I see Remilia." Dawn covered his chest.
"What does it feel like to be in love?" Lin Xingxing was a little surprised. "Captain, you are a lolita control!"
"No, it's just pure pain."
"Come to think of it, I also have phantom pain."
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, but when I saw Flandre, I wanted to dance. There seemed to be something carved into the DNA, and I really wanted to eat McDonald's. Does this place have fried chicken and French fries?"
Reincarnator people were talking a lot, and they always felt that they had forgotten something very important.
Mission? There's no need to rush into that kind of thing, just slowly investigate this strange Gensokyo.
Just as they were thinking this, Dawn and others saw Huai Shi, whom they had met in the office lobby during the day. At this moment, the other party was in ragged clothes, with messy hair, bruises and bloodstains on his body, and slowly walked in from outside the store.
A pair of shining eyes, a neutral face, and soft facial features, they look so Chuchu pitiful under the light.
"Doudou, sit down, it's not this Chuchu." Song Shuhang pressed the key word 'Chuchu control' Doudou.
"Poof!"
Zhao Xin next to Ge Xiaolun had blood spurting from his nose, with anger and pity in his eyes.
"Who did this!? Miss Huai, you, me." Zhao Xin slapped the table and stood up.
"I told you he was a man." Ge Xiaolun tugged on the other party's sleeve.
"Fart! How can he be a boy if he looks so cute?"
"If this guy bends his will in the future, you will have to take responsibility."
Jarvan shook his head.
"Huai Shi."
Shirou Emiya remembered that Huai Shi had gone to lure away a certain fanatical Reincarnator. He had a complicated expression and said with difficulty, "Is it okay? Nothing happened, right? Do you want to go back and take a shower and rest first?"
"." Huai Shi was silent for a long time. After a moment, he solemnly spoke:
"I have never been so grateful to that woman Tongji. I thank her for choosing Mountain Ghost, this path of sublimation with plant roots, for me."
Don't get me wrong, he was not caught by Yuuka Kazami and thrown into the letter circle to stage an enviable plot.
Although Edward was sent to Sunflower Field, the origin of Sunflower Brand Liver Protection Tablets, Yuuka Kazami, a big plant-based monster, has no ill intentions towards similar "little monsters". In addition, we have dealt with Human Village on weekdays, so at least the initial favorability is not negative.
Mountain Ghost can grow grass and flowers, so after repairing Sun Flower Field, the opponent just held an umbrella and fired magic cannons, while deliberately torturing himself as he was escaping.
At least it didn't drop instantly.
"It's really hard." Shirou Emiya listened silently and wiped Huai Shi's sweat. "Fortunately, I escaped."
"It's not like I escaped. On the way, I met the boss Shi Hao who had finished taking care of the other teams." Huai Shi glanced in the direction of Sun Flower Field: "Those two are still fighting each other."
Yuuka Kazami is interested in monsters who also have powerful powers or humans with special abilities, and prefers physical attacks with overwhelming power.
After bumping into Shi Hao on the way, he immediately gave up his plan to torture Huai Shi.
After Shi Hao saw the 'tragic situation' of Huai Shi, without saying a word, he directly picked up Da Luo Sword Embryo and rushed to fight. By the way, he wanted to complete the recovery of 'Nature Authority' from Yuuka Kazami.
Edward's physical strength is like a rookie compared to the two Monster's.
Huai Shi took a deep breath, letting in the smell of oils and spices to soothe the tense nerves. "Uncle Fang has always wanted to add more recipes, but unfortunately he can't leave home for the time being."
"Can't you learn it on your own?" Crow appeared and exposed the truth mercilessly. "How long has it been since your cooking skills improved?"
"I'm already very tired from work. I just want to eat ready-made food after get off work, even if it's pre-made food."
Huai Shi spoke frankly and decided what he wanted to eat tonight, "Bring me some grilled lamprey, I don't want to see anything related to green plants for the time being."
"Another bowl of loach soup."
Not long after, grilled lamprey, which had a flavor similar to grilled eel but with some gram elements, appeared on Huai Shi's table.
This thing is called lamprey in China, and it can cure night blindness and corneal dryness.
"Is it easy to deal with the Reincarnator team heading over to Old Hell?"
Huai Shi ate something and asked, "They are all teams that take the technological route, and they also created a clone army. There are quite a lot of them, right?"
Just after asking, along with the boss's greetings, there was a quarrel at the door.
"It's Hentai God of Combat"
"No, it's Hentai Heroic Spirit."
"You are wrong, what I saw was endless gods and demons."
They were three Reincarnator teams with bruises and swollen faces. They looked a bit more miserable than Huai Shi. They were talking nonsense and words that others could not understand, and their spirits and cognition seemed a little confused.
"Hell, Netherworld, Old Hell, and Other Shore are all gone, aren't they? The gods and demons managed by Chen Nan and Heroic Spirit led by Ritsuka are interviewing for group performances today."
"Got it."
Huai Shi is not gloating about the misfortune, but my appetite feels better in comparison, so I added another dish.
The atmosphere in the store was much livelier than at the beginning. Water vapor climbed up the wooden beams along the copper pipes, and under the influence of the lights, condensed into a mist-like galaxy on the ceiling.
As time goes by, there are more and more people.
Xiao Yan, who was picking up his daughter from school, walked into the store with his two wives and several confidantes, and happened to meet Yan Sen. The two parties solemnly negotiated with Xiao Yan about their children's education.
"Excuse me, I need delivery." Zhongli walked in and said.
"Not in the store today?"
"The business of the coffin shop and Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is very good today. They are the remains of some monks, so I have to rush back to take care of them."
"It may be delivered later."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhongli said hello to everyone and then turned around and left.
Shirou Emiya looked away, the silver light in his hand rose and fell, and the minced garlic piled up on the porcelain plate like an avalanche, then he put it into the oil pan and immediately stir-fried it with the Jade-colored green onions.
Mystia was troubled by the good business for the first time. He sighed, "It's like a dream. I don't know how long it will last."
"Isn't this a bad dream?"
"I just don't know what to do in the future. After all, I am a monster, but now I have become no different from a human being. I don't know what Gensokyo will become in the future."
Zila--!
The lampreys on the iron plate exploded.
Mystia After being silent for a while, he was a little confused as to why the monsters in the store were not as uneasy about the future as he was.
"Science."
The Kappa girl wearing a green beret stood up from a position near the center of the dining table and said, "The future Gensokyo must be an era of science, and science is the primary productive force!"
After saying that, he put down the coins and trotted out.
"Kappa Tribe has not yet collected the authority to control the water flow."
"They are a very rigid family. They don't recognize the Spell Card game. They say they want to have another technical competition with Su Lin, and they will only willingly hand over their abilities if they lose."
"I, Prison Brother, am still typing Revival Tournament, how can I be free?"
"I don't know."
The discussion gradually went sideways, and the time also reached late at night.
This time, local villagers from Gensokyo also came to Night Sparrow Diner. In addition to Yuyuko, the guests rotated, and even the teams of Freud and Edward appeared again.
The monsters of Gensokyo, Reincarnator, time travellers, outsiders, and villagers are all sitting together peacefully at this moment. Under some unknown influence, they ignore conflicts and problems and each talk about their own things.
If you die in a dream, you will not really die, but you will enter the next level of dream like Inception.
People's consciousness is connected to dreams, but overlaps with reality. The things that have passed away, missed, and expected will all exist here due to the interaction between Harmony and Order.
Here Gensokyo is also the second Penacony, and even more
Fool's Dream.
Remembrance Matter filled the air silently, covering even the boundary where Han Li and Time Dao Ancestor fought during the day.
Dream World reflects reality, as clear and distant as watching a fire from the other side, but it turns into reality in the rolling Chaos.
