Yaaann~
Another typical day at Hinata-sou greeted Mutsumi. Sunlight, chirping birds, and Keitaro being blasted off into the distance. Maybe he would land near a pet store? Tama-chan did need a snack refill.
Such a nice day today. She yawned slowly. I wonder how my garden patch is this morning Stretching lightly she wondered for a bit how everyone was doing back home. Nothing to worry about, Her mother would make sure everything ran smoothly.
A light scent wafted into her room from downstairs. She instantly knew where it was coming from and who was making it. Being at the inn every so often, there were a few things that the Okinawan had already gotten used to; and the scent which tickled her olfactory senses could only come from Shinbou in the kitchen.
The girl really did have a talent with food. And she would help her share that talent by eating as much of its deliciousness as possible.
To the kitchen!
.
In said kitchen, everywhere and everything was covered in flour, sugar and various other ingredients. Well except Tama-chan of course. The turtle relaxed in a safe spot on top of the refrigerator where most of the flying food could not reach his shell.
Shinobu ran about the room trying to get everything in order. It was a special day and she even tried to cordon off the kitchen from everyone else, except Haruka, who was the only one who knew what she was up to and had kindly gotten everything she needed the night before. That didnt really work as Motoko and
Naru had passed by earlier. Fortunately they were only interested in knowing when breakfast would be ready.
Motoko was in the back garden practicing her sword play, while Naru relaxed in the hot spring for a quick morning soak.
Suu hadnt been seen all morning. It was assumed by everyone that she was working on a new invention, and no one was willing to go to her room and find out what it was.
That should have given her enough time to get everything ready by eight o clock.
Well things werent working out that way. A few mishaps with the bender and an oven fire kind of set those plans back a bit.
Sighing the girl looked at the clock above Tama-chan. Shinobu had set aside two hours to get everything done. One hour to make it all and one hour to let the oven cook what she needed to.
Seven-fifteen. All her setbacks left her with forty-five minutes to get it all done. The only thing cooked was a stack of okonomiyaki. It wasnt exactly what she had planned but it was all she had.
Its not like you were any help She laid her eyes on Tama-chan who waved in return. Shaking her head she thought to herself. Why am I getting mad at a turtle?
Oh Shinobu-chan.
Shinobu squeaked and turned around, The back door! I forgot about that
Keitaro chuckled lightly, it was an arduous journey, seeing as he was blasted half way across the district into the womens side of a public bath, and well on didnt need to guess what happened after that. However despite that and his aching body, (he was pretty sure one of those women used a tire iron on him), he managed to make it back before breakfast time.
His excitement was quickly doused as he saw the state of the kitchen and Shinobus normally happy attitude absent.
Eh.. Shinobu-chan? He asked with concern, What happened here? Is there something wrong?
Ah! Well- N-No! She stammered quickly. Theres nothing wrong!
He raised an eyebrow. Well it doesnt really look like nothings wrong. The kitchen is a mess.
W-Well Ill clean it up right away! She nodded rapidly. Y-You should leave for now. Breakfast will be-
Good morning!
Mutsumi greeted the two with a warm smile. She was a little disappointed when she found the door to the kitchen locked, and she might have missed out on a great meal, but then she remembered there was another! With that realization she quickly made her way to the other door and made her way inside
Oh my Mitsumi cupped her chin. It did look similar to a disaster area. So
Breakfast isnt ready?
Shinobu slumped in her spot and sighed. I give up.
Give up what Shinobu-chan? Keitaro asked again. It was one of those times where he didnt like seeing any of the girls in Hinata-sou depressed. Especially Shinobu, she was always kind of him and lack the physical strength and tsundere personality to actually hurt him.
Mutsumi perked up, keen to listen and maybe get her breakfast soon.
Well the girl began. I.. I just wanted to give you something special today..
Eh? He blinked. Special? Me? Why?
Isnt it your birthday today? Shinobu asked in turn.
Oh. The manager realized. He had been so busy with things lately he actually forgot his birthday was coming up, well today. But how did you find out?
Haruka-san told me. She confessed. But.. I didnt get much done and I have a half-hour left.
That doesnt matter. Keitaro nodded. You remembered my birthday when even I forgot about it. He replied sagely. That makes a pretty good gift on its own.
B-But-
Mutsumi gave her a broad smile. That doesnt mean that you have to give up. We can help you. Im sure the three of us can whip something up together.
Her growling stomach made it apparent that she really wanted that to happen.
Keitaro nodded. I think we should start now.
.
How was training?
Naru walked through the hall with Motoko while drying her hair with a towel. With no one around, especially that assumed perverted manager, she had a great time in soaking in the spring, which was something she swore to do more often.
It was fine as usual. Motoko answered plainly
Her usual morning regimen was growing old however; and she needed fine find new exercises to push herself further.
But there was one thing on both their minds. Breakfast.
Motokos eyes narrowed as her ears picked up multiple voices on approaching the kitchen. Instantly identifying two of them as Shinobu and Keitaro.
Stop.
Eh? Naru huffed. Why? Im hungry.
Urashima and Shinobu are in there. She replied stiffly. Alone.
I see. Naru nodded. Immediately walking up to the door to open it. Its locked.. She growled, but before she could shout a war cry Motoko stopped her.
Lets us discover what they are doing first before barging in.
With that both she and Naru placed their ears to the door in an effort to find out whether Urashima was up to anything unsavory, which he most likely was. Then beat him nine ways to hell and back.
K-Keitaro-sempai you should stop that.. Its embarrassing.
Both women twitched at that. There was something going on in there.
But it tastes so sweet Shinobu-chan. Keitaros voice was heard clearly.
Naru was fairly close to bursting an artery. Im going to kill that lecher.. She thought dangerously.
Hmm Hes right. Its tastes so good!
A third voice was heard and left the two of them in shock.
Mutsumi?!!
T-That monster. He corrupted those pure souls with his perverted ways! Motokos mind raged. She grabbed her practice blade tightly. Enough of this! We must stop it before this carries on any further!
With a sharp swing the door was smashed to pieces. Im going to kill you Urashima!!!
With the obvious threat out. Keitaro ran behind Mitsumi. What?! What did I do?! His fingers were red with the strawberry jam Shinobu had made. Well it was so good that he and Mitsumi had eaten to batches already.
You corrupted these poor souls with your perversions! Shinobu is just of age! Does your lust know no boundaries!
B-But there isnt anything going on. Shinobu cut in. We were jus-
Its alright Shinobu. Naru comforted her. We wont let this monster near you any more,
Auuu.. Mutsumi sighed. But we were just making breakfast.
Like Im going to take that as an exc- A sweet scent from the oven cut off Motokos tirade. That smells good. Looking around she couldnt help but to notice the large amounts of food that covered the kitchen counter and left her salivating.
So.. You were just making breakfast? Naru asked in surprise.
Yeah. Keitaro nodded. What did you think we were doing?
Nothing! Motoko cut in. Nothing that concerns you.
But-
Like she said Urashima. Naru added. Nothing. Now lets go eat. Please?
Everyone instantly agreed to that.
