Tokyo: My Super Powers are updated every week

Chapter 456: Housekeeping Expert

The coloring of comics is not as difficult as Qingze's, but the coloring process is too boring.

Even the sound of the brush rubbing against the paper can be heard clearly, and there is a faint fragrance of ink floating in the air.

"Senior Qingze, the shadows of the trees here should be painted lightly, not too thick."

"Senior Qingze, this is a pattern of spots. Click carefully."

"Senior Qingze..."

Only the soft and waxy voice that occasionally rings in his ears can make Qingze escape from boredom and get a brief moment of relaxation.

He agreed to Tetsuji Hojo's request. On the one hand, his friendship with Tetsuji Hojo was there.

He is Hojo Tetsuji's only friend.

In terms of homosexuality, Tetsuji Hojo can also be said to be Aosawa's only friend.

Secondly, it is also related to Hojo Shinoko.

This is a very sensible and virtuous girl, but Qingze does not believe that a sensible girl should endure more hardships. On the contrary, a sensible girl should endure less hardships.

The two reasons combined made Qingze give up the idea of ​​playing outside and chose to sit here, doing boring things that had nothing to do with superpowers.

Jingle Bell.

The alarm clock on her cell phone rang. Hojo Shinoko looked at the time and saw that it was already eleven o'clock.

Time flies so fast, she thought to herself, taking a look at the few comic manuscripts left on the table, her face showed admiration as she said: "Senior Qingze, you are so powerful, you are simply a ruthless coloring machine.

Usually when my eldest brother and I color, we have to wait until at least four or five o'clock in the afternoon to finish it. "

"To me, it's a piece of cake."

Qingze showed a proud smile and said, "You go prepare lunch and leave the rest to me."

"Hi, please."

Hojo Shinoko bowed, so that the already well-developed curves in her bent waist became even tighter.

Qingze had to look away and stared at his brother's sister with that look. Thinking about it, she was quite excited...

But it doesn't mean that he can really stare. If he is discovered, it will be so embarrassing and his life will be stopped in place.

I have no shame in seeing the brother and sister in this life.

Hojo Shinoko got up and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

……

Stepping into the clean kitchen, Hojo Shinoko put on a light blue apron, thought about the vegetables she bought yesterday, and decided to make her best tempura.

She removed the heads and shells of the shrimps, leaving the tails, cleaned the shrimp lines, then cut off the tail ends by two centimeters, and squeezed the water out of the tails through the break to prevent oil from splattering during frying.

Make a few even cuts on one side of the shrimp belly, press the back of the shrimp with your green-white fingers, and cut off the tendons from top to bottom to prevent the shrimp from curling up after it is fully cooked.

Then cut the lotus root, eggplant and sweet potato into pieces.

Prepare the batter.

She stuffed shrimps and diced vegetables into the batter, sandwiched them and fried them in the oil pan.

While Hojo Shinoko was frying, she also took the time to cook clear soup soba noodles and put a little green onion in them.

After the tempura was fried, the soba noodles came out of the pot smoothly and were placed in a large bowl.

She placed the crispy tempura one by one along the edge of the soba noodles, "Aozawa-senpai, you can have lunch."

Hojo Shinoko shouted and brought over two large bowls of steaming soba noodles.

"Ah."

Qingze replied casually and painted the last hair color.

He put down his pen, stretched and said, "It smells so good."

"I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Hojo Shinoko placed the soba noodles in front of Aosawa, then turned back and brought over the plate of tempura.

Qingze picked up a piece and took a bite.

A soft crunch came from the mouth. The tempura was crispy and fragrant, and the shrimp meat inside was extremely tender. "It's been a while since I tasted Shinoko's craftsmanship, and I feel that it has improved a lot than before."

"Yeah, it's great that Senior Qingze likes me."

Hojo Shinoko breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "In this case, you can forgive me."

Qingze blinked and then remembered what happened, and smiled: "Ah, I forgive you.

Xiaozi, you can't always tell the difference between a joke and a serious statement. "

"Can you forgive me if I was joking?"

A flash of shock flashed across Hojo Shinoko's face.

Qingze chuckled, then thought about it seriously and said, "You can also say that I have never blamed you, so how can I forgive you?"

"Really."

Hojo Shinoko's heart dropped as she lowered her head and ate the soba noodles.

She ate the noodles very quietly without making a sound, unlike Qingze who liked to eat noodles in big mouthfuls.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Hojo Shinoko didn't hear the sound of Aozawa sucking. She was not used to it. She looked up and found that this person was staring at her.

She blinked and said with some confusion on her fair cheeks: "Senior Qingze, is there something dirty on my face?"

"No, I just feel that the way you eat has the air of a purdah lady.'

Aozawa shook his head. He and Phoenix Academy Meiji would chat incidentally when they were eating, but Hojo Shinoko was more like a real quiet lady, eating silently without any intention of chatting.

This behavior made Qingze, who was used to chatting at the dinner table, feel a little uncomfortable. He picked up tempura and asked: "What are you going to do this afternoon?"

"In the afternoon, I originally planned to color the comic manuscript. Now, I have already finished it. I should buy groceries."

Shinoko Hojo re-formulated her afternoon plan. She bought shrimps and vegetables in advance yesterday. Her plan was to color comics at home without going out at noon and evening.

Cooking a good meal for Qingze now means that her eldest brother's food will not be enough in the evening, and she needs to go out to buy food for the evening and tomorrow morning. “What happens after you buy it?”

"Play the guzheng and learn."

Hojo Shinoko truthfully stated her thoughts. She was not very interested in short videos and liked to play the guzheng.

She has a very quiet personality.

Qingze felt bored just hearing this schedule. After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with such a schedule.

There is actually no difference between playing the guzheng at home and lying on the sofa watching Douyin, short videos, etc.

Rather, the style of the former is obviously higher than that of the latter.

But he believes it's good for people to try new things occasionally.

"I don't have anything to do in the afternoon. I'll take you out for a walk. A young girl can't stay at home all the time during the summer vacation."

Hojo Shinoko subconsciously wanted to refuse. She opened her mouth slightly and closed it again.

Senior Qingze helped her so much, so it didn't matter if he went shopping with her in the afternoon.

"Ok."

She nodded in agreement and decided to go back to her room and change her clothes.

The suspender dress was something she wore casually in the morning. It would be unsociable etiquette to accompany Qingze-senpai when shopping with such a casual choice of clothes.

At least make a good selection.

……

This challenge lasts half an hour.

Hojo Shinoko returned to the living room downstairs and said with a slightly red expression: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long, Senior Qingze. I have repeatedly emphasized that it will be very soon, very soon, but it still takes so long."

"It doesn't matter. I understand that there is a big difference between girls going out and being at home."

Aozawa answered with a smile, taking a look at Shinoko Hojo's current outfit, a suspender dress.

If I want to say there is any difference from the one just now, I can only say that the pattern is different. This white dress has small orange flowers printed on it.

The neckline will also be slightly lower, making it look white, like the top of Kunlun Mountain.

Shinoko is really not good at dressing up.

Qingze complained in his heart.

"Hi." Hojo Shinoko's voice sounded like a mosquito's chirping. She picked and chose, and finally chose a dress. If she had known this, she might as well have gone out wearing that suspender dress.

But that one doesn’t feel as good-looking as this one.

A trace of worry flashed through Hojo Shinoko's heart, and she took the bag and said, "Aozawa-senpai, where should we go?"

"Go to Kita Senju."

Qingze originally wanted to go to Shinjuku, but after thinking about it, it was already afternoon. If he took the train to Shinjuku, the combined time for the round trip might be longer than the time the two of them played.

Because Hojo Shinoko had to come back early to prepare dinner.

He also needs to buy groceries in advance.

He didn't buy groceries yesterday and had asked Chiyo to chop them. If he didn't buy them today, he could use his toes to understand how serious the consequences would be.

"it is good."

Hojo Shinoko nodded and had no idea where to go. She left home with him and went to the commercial street of Kita Senju.

Contrary to what Shinoko Hojo thought, the street was very hot under the sun, but there were many pedestrians, making it very lively.

"Let's take a walk."

"Ah."

Unlike Hojoin Miki and Akizuki Iroha, Hojo Shinoko would visit some home furnishing stores when she was shopping.

Hojo Shinoko, who is good at housekeeping, likes cheap goods and likes to bargain.

Hojo Shinoko wouldn't even enter those expensive places that couldn't be negotiated.

Qingze was by his side and had no objection at all.

He invited Xiaozi to go out for a walk. The main purpose was to let Xiaozi do some activities outside, instead of staying at home playing guzheng and studying all day during the summer vacation, which would be too boring.

Ah, thinking about it, Qingze suddenly understood why some parents always like to ask their children to go out for a walk.

It is estimated that in the minds of those parents, taking a walk outside even without any purpose is better than being bored at home.

Qingze was thinking to himself when he found Shinoko Hojo walking into a sporting goods store and said in surprise: "Shinoko, aren't you from the guzheng club?"

"Senior Qingze, you won the Jade Dragon Flag championship some time ago. I didn't give you any gifts. Today I just bought a good quality bamboo sword as a celebration."

"You don't have to spend so much money, I have a bamboo sword."

"But that bamboo sword has been used for a long time, senior, it's time to get a new bamboo sword."

Hojo Shinoko insisted on changing.

She is very stingy when choosing her own things, and she will never be stingy when giving gifts to others. She tries her best to choose the best gifts within her financial scope.

Aozawa couldn't refuse, so after buying the bamboo sword, he followed Shinoko Hojo to the vegetable market in Kitasenju.

Is this a place where men and women should go shopping?

Qingze thought to himself, and looked at Hojo Shinoko and the vendors bargaining with each other, very energetic.

He didn't dwell on that, and stepped forward and said, "Xiaozi, I also want to buy food for tonight and tomorrow morning."

"Is Senior Qingze responsible for buying groceries?"

Hojo Shinoko's eyes lit up and she said with some anticipation: "Then let's make an appointment and buy together every day. I can help negotiate the price."

"it is good."

Qingze nodded in agreement.
