Chapter 4 Misaka Brigade Hanging
Cooking should not be the same, but must be cooked with care. Because the birth of a dish is not isolated, its purpose itself is to satisfy the person who tastes it.
"Amano has only been learning to make desserts for two years, but I think she is very talented. It is important to make excellent desserts. You have made this very good Mikoto, but more importantly, to make desserts that make people happy." [..com]
This is Mr. Amway's evaluation, and Mikoto has no reason to refute this.
If it were made for a dessert that made people happy, Mikoto would definitely sneer at such an idealistic statement. However, after tasting Amanoberry’s ‘Mengse Strawberry Egg Tart’, Mikoto learned that she, who thought it was ‘absolutely impossible’, was short-sighted.
Not only desserts, but cooking is not for yourself, but for those who taste their own dishes. Mikoto can also remember that when the dishes she made were recognized by others, the joy far exceeded that she had to taste her favorite food.
Making happy desserts is a concept, but before this, it must be supported by rich technology and experience, which is still a bit far away for Mikoto. Or after Mikoto's skills have been lifted out of the eight major cuisines and mastering all the skills of Chinese cuisine, it can only be achieved.
"Teacher Amway, can I work in this dessert shop?"
It is a bit abrupt to ask such a question suddenly, but it is not unprepared. After all, as a fait accompli, she has been working here for an afternoon, and of course she is welcoming to these four companions. However, Mikoto is not a student of St. Mary's College, and this "Mary Garden" was actually created by Teacher Amway in the name of the college to allow students to grow faster, which is enough to be a reason to reject Mikoto.
"If you decide, I don't think there is any reason to refuse, but before that I think I have to get your parents' consent."
Amway's words surprised Mikoto, but it is natural to think about it carefully. After all, Mikoto is still a minor, and she has even reached the minimum standard of restricting her capacity for behavior in law. Of course, on April 5th more than a month later, she could declare herself fifteen years old, but even such things as going out to work must be agreed with the consent of her parents who are guardians.
The dignified Tobashita ultra-electromagnetic gun, but this cannot change the fact that she is just a middle school student. Of course, the phone number of Misaka Mikoto's parents is stored in the mobile phone she inherited from the genuine Misaka Mikoto's personal belongings, but Mikoto doesn't think she has this excuse to dial.
But Mikoto was surprised to find that sometimes reality is indeed something more bizarre than the story.
"Did you say my family agree?" It was the next morning. Mikoto, who was visiting the dessert shop again, met Amway who was waiting for her in the dessert shop now. She couldn't hide the surprise in her tone, "What are the family you are talking about?"
"Of course it's Ling Zun." Seeing Mikoto's surprised look, Mr. Amway was also a little confused, "Mr. Misaka, isn't it your father? Last night I received a call from Mr. Misaka and wrote a letter of attorney in writing."
Looking at the fax in Teacher Amway's hand, it was an application to agree to work in a dessert shop, but what was really surprising was that the fax contained a copy of the household registration book, which was also why Amway believed that the other party was Mikoto's guardian.
The household registration certificate photo that is not like a fake is a bearded man. If nothing wrong, Mikoto found that it was indeed a middle-aged man named Misaka Hikaru who he had seen many times in the album. But how could this certificate appear here? Although he did have the idea of fake before, Mikoto swears that this is not his fake.
Misaka Hikaru should be one of the most familiar people Misaka Mikoto is in the world, but in fact, Mikoto herself has never had any communication with this "father" who would never have any mistakes if she did a paternity test. Everything she knew about this "father" was nothing more than a name and appearance in the album.
Subconsciously, Mikoto took out the phone in her pocket, and then saw the phone call she didn't think she would make one day in the communication. After a troubling hesitation, Mikoto finally made up her mind to press the call button.
After waiting for a while, the other party's phone number was answered.
"Mikoto."
It was a heavy man's voice, but it didn't make people feel rude, but it felt very imposing.
He opened his mouth and didn't know how the "Misaka Mikoto" in the past got along with his father. Mikoto found that she didn't know how to call him. This feeling might be like the same as the "unknown" parents in the seaside after losing their memory?
"Dad?"
After considering for a moment, Mikoto chose this title that was not considered a strange one. In response to her, the silence on the other end of the phone would make people unconsciously think that she was saying something wrong. However, just as Mikoto was trying to come up with a topic to hide the embarrassment, Misaka Hiroka's voice finally came over.
"Step from 'old man' to 'dad', should I express my joy?"
It was still a rough sound, but the obvious joking tone inside made Mikoto breathe a sigh of relief and had the courage to continue the topic.
"Dad, I'm not in the school city now."
"Well, I know." The tone of Lu Gun was not surprised. Obviously, I knew that the application was indeed faxed by the other party, but the next sentence of Lu Gun almost jumped up. "Mikoto, I'm traveling around the world and saw several people who look the same."
When I met someone who looked the same when traveling to the world, I suddenly said this sentence, which made people feel abrupt, but Mikoto knew very well what the other party was saying. After the "Absolute Ability Plan" was cut in half, the remaining Misaka sisters were sent around the world. It was not surprising that they were witnessed, but if the witness was Mikoto Misaka's father...
Mikoto found that her tongue was a little knotted, but Misaka Yoshigao did not wait for his daughter's answer.
"Every decision of human beings may contain the possibility of changing the world, so Mikoto, if you don't feel happy, you can change your own world."
This was Mikoto's first time talking to Misaka Hirokaku. It was different from the concept of "father" in her impression, but seriously, she didn't know how to describe it, and she couldn't even understand the man on the other end of the phone. But this feeling was not very bad. At least she felt a little relaxed after hearing Hirokaku's words. She buried the heavy burden in her heart because of the fact that she couldn't say it, and she let it go so strangely.
"I have already told the chairman of your college city that he is also a person who can change the world, but I don't want my wife and daughter to be involved."
Before coming to this world and getting in touch with the daily life of "Mikoto Misaka", Mikoto didn't know what kind of person the father of the Tokupantai Super Electromagnetic Cannon was, but even after reading the diary (which seemed a bit immoral) and photo album left by Sister Pao, she was still a little indifferent to the image of Misaka Traveler, but there was no doubt that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.
But now it seems that the other party is obviously not ordinary at all, even more mysterious than Misaka Mirei, who is obviously a mother but in anyone's eyes, is just his sister.
However, the trouble that originally thought that it was impossible to say was long before the other party's grasp. Mikoto felt the first thing she did was not embarrassment but comfort. Twenty thousand Misaka sisters, this can be said to be the removal of Misaka Mikoto from her daily life and forcing her to face the roots of the darkness of the academy city. Once she knew that this did not require herself to bear it silently, the burden in her heart would suddenly become much lighter. This is probably one of the reasons why Mikoto Misaka gradually relied on Masashimi.
The relaxed mood made people more courageous, and Mikoto found that she had lost fear of Aresta for the first time.
"Dad, I won't escape from the academy city. When I think I'm ready, I will handle the things I leave myself."
This was another unexpected answer. After a moment of silence, Misaka Kotokang only answered "Yes," and hung up the phone, but the tone made people smile unconsciously. 'This is my daughter of Misaka Kotokang' - I feel that Nakami Kotokang heard this smell between the two short words of "Royal".
As Kinomoto Fujitaka said before, this is the last winter snow in winter. When the snow melts, the earth quickly put on the makeup of spring.
"It's already April."
When the calendar was renovated, Mikoto found that her birthday was coming soon, and among her peers who used "love" to describe her passion for desserts, Mikoto found that her cooking skills were improving rapidly. A week ago, she completed the production of all the dishes of Su cuisine, received qualified evaluations, and started learning in the second dish.
This more than a month was the easiest period in her long-term. There were no enemies, no battles, and there was no disturbance from players because of the closed dungeon. Mikoto even gradually forgot her purpose of coming to Tokyo, but such comfort was destined not to last. When an existence that did not belong to this dungeon entered and allowed the time of the dungeon to flow, some things were destined to happen.
It was an afternoon that was no different from usual. Mikoto, who was tasting the fruits of each other's labor in the kitchen, suddenly felt a palpitation. It was a huge magic that made people unable to resist.
It is no less than the arrival of the Holy Grail, it belongs to the true third method, or the magic power left by the third magic envoy Kulorido.
The magic spreads at a certain "center point" in the city, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but for magicians it is no less than the feeling of being in a hurricane - but in fact, Mikoto can feel the magic at this time.
Mikoto knew exactly what this meant: the seal of the Kuro card was unveiled by Sakura Kinomoto!
