Chapter 293

"Really, you're not lying to Auntie this time?"

Natsume Chikage shook his head and smiled:

"Really not."

Kondo Miyuki asked tentatively:

"Will you both come together then?"

Although Natsume Ruri didn't understand the situation, she echoed her brother's words:

"Mm-hmm, Ruri will come too!"

Kondo Miyuki smiled:

"Okay, Natsume-kun, let me know which night this week you don't have to work, and Auntie will prepare in advance."

Natsume Chikage was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect her to be so direct.

But come to think of it.

He was a bit greedy for her family's 'collection-grade fighting magazine'.

If he went next time, maybe he could take the initiative to find an excuse to ask for it.

"Friday, I don't have to work the night shift on Friday."

"Ruri, do you have anything important then?"

"If not, shall we go together then?"

Natsume Ruri smiled:

"Mm-hmm, Ruri has no problem."

Kondo Miyuki beamed:

"Then it's a date."

Natsume Ruri remembered something and suggested:

"Auntie Miyuki, Dad once said that you are very good at shogi."

"Brother bought shogi recently, how about playing a few games with Ruri?"

Kondo Miyuki still liked playing shogi quite a bit, and smiled with gratification:

"Of course."

"Rather, it's been a long time since anyone accompanied Auntie to play shogi."

"My daughter and husband at home don't like shogi, and my hands have been itching for a long time."

Natsume Ruri stood up happily to find the shogi set and said:

"Mm-hmm, I'm preparing the shogi now."

Kondo Miyuki turned to look at Natsume Chikage and suggested with a smile:

"What about you, Natsume-kun? How about you accompany Auntie to play a game or two?"

Natsume Chikage shook his head and smiled:

"No."

"You and my sister can play."

"I just bought some milk, white fungus, and red dates, and I want to make some sweet soup for my sister."

"Since you are here, Auntie Miyuki, that's just perfect."

Kondo Miyuki said happily:

"Really? That's great, let Auntie taste your cooking, Natsume-kun."

Natsume Ruri pouted slightly; she had previously warned her brother not to cook and let her be in charge of the kitchen.

Now that her brother was cooking, she had some small emotions.

"Brother!"

"Didn't we agree that I would cook?"

Natsume Chikage naturally understood what his sister meant, but just smiled:

"It's just sweet soup, not really cooking."

Natsume Ruri couldn't insist and said helplessly:

"Alright..."

Kondo Miyuki smiled slightly at the interaction between the siblings; she didn't expect that after they were left to live together, their relationship seemed to be much better than before.

Natsume Ruri just took out the shogi set, set it up completely, put her hands on her hips, and smiled:

"Let me state first, I am very good."

"Brother and Dad can't beat me."

"Auntie Miyuki, you have to be careful!"

Kondo Miyuki smiled in surprise:

"Natsume-kun, is this true?"

Natsume Chikage smiled without looking back:

"True, my sister has quite a high talent for shogi."

Kondo Miyuki also put her hands on her hips and smiled:

"I see—but Auntie Miyuki is also very strong, so bring it on!"

And so.

The two started playing shogi.

Natsume Chikage was busy in the kitchen making 'Milk White Fungus and Red Date Sweet Soup'.

Although it was a dessert.

The steps were not troublesome.

Basically, it was just throwing the ingredients in according to the time sequence.

Before long.

The 'Milk White Fungus and Red Date Sweet Soup' was done.

【Dessert production successful, the flavor of 'Milk White Fungus and Red Date Sweet Soup' increased by 20%!】

The cramped three-mat room was suddenly filled with the warm, sweet fragrance of milk, mixed with the pure, mellow scent of white fungus and dates.

The two people playing shogi swallowed their saliva at the same time.

Natsume Chikage placed two bowls of dessert on the small table.

"It's a bit hot, remember to be careful when you drink it."

"Mm-hmm."

"Thank you, Brother."

And at this time.

Natsume Chikage also paid attention to the shogi the two were playing.

A glance told him that Kondo Miyuki indeed had some strength; her playing style was very steady and full of technique.

As for his sister, she relied entirely on intuition.

Sometimes there were flashes of brilliant moves.

But in the end, she couldn't beat the seasoned playing style.

It could be said that the defeat was basically set.

However, Natsume Chikage had no intention of giving pointers.

Watching a game without speaking is the most basic quality.

The biggest taboo in shogi is for others to point fingers.

But as they played.

Natsume Chikage noticed that Kondo Miyuki was going easy on her.

His sister gradually gained the advantage.

And in the end.

Kondo Miyuki managed to turn the situation into a draw.

She smiled:

"Sister Ruri is indeed very good; Auntie was almost about to lose."
