Little Chef... That's a really old memory.
But the problem is, although Shen He enjoys making food, it's just a hobby. He hasn't even professionally studied cooking, so he's not really a chef.
He lightly patted Jeanne's shoulder and rolled over.
"Jeanne, go pack your things first. I'll go to the kitchen and make something delicious. It's been a while since I cooked myself."
"Okay." Jeanne's cheeks were still flushed.
From today onwards, she would be moving into this room; that's what she had just whispered in Shen He's ear.
The employees at the company who have lovers generally live together, so it should be normal.
Shen He, however, wasn't so calm; his heart was still thumping as he walked into the kitchen.
And living with Jeanne...
He took out the cooking utensils from his backpack. Although it was a full set, it looked rather simple and out of place in this modern kitchen. But when Shen He held the kitchen knife in his hand, he suddenly had a strange feeling.
It was as if he had been using this knife to chop vegetables for decades, a sense of familiarity and fluidity welled up.
"Let's make a meat and crab hotpot. Both Violet and Ryougi Shiki don't like spicy food..."
In fact, since moving here and establishing Chaldea, Shen He rarely cooked himself anymore. He only still made some desserts for Saiki Kusuo. Now that he had gathered all the Servants together, not only Misaka Mikoto and the others, but even Accelerator rarely had a bad look on his face.
"I'm taking some back with me." Accelerator had already set his sights on several dishes. "That brat is so annoying, blabbering on and on."
"Do you want to take some back to your world to eat?" Jeanne asked. "Misaka Misaka really needs to replenish her nutrition."
"Swallow the food in your mouth first before you speak."
Shen He placed a cut crab on the plate in front of Jeanne.
The saintess was constantly putting the vermicelli soaked in delicious broth into her mouth, chewing heartily with a face full of happiness.
She also occasionally exclaimed, "So delicious," but her cheeks were puffed up so high that it was impossible to understand what she was saying.
It seemed that even when not in a possessed state, Jeanne was still just as gluttonous.
"It's much tastier than before."
Ryougi Shiki had been looking at Shen He suspiciously since the first chopstick, as if she didn't believe he had made it.
"It's because of the cooking utensils," Shen He explained with a smile. "Anyway, you'll all be in for a treat from now on. I'll have more gatherings like this whenever I have time. Lelouch, you can take some back for Nunnally later. After we're done dealing with the matters in the Toaru Majutsu no Index world, we'll also have time to go to your world to help you."
In the last few draws, he had drawn two limited-time travel cards again.
Now, there's no problem with going to see Teruhashi Kokomi or helping Lelouch.
"Thank you." Lelouch had the most elegant manners of them all. "But, I'd rather have revenge myself, step by step, and make that person pay for what they did to my siblings and me."
Lelouch wouldn't hide his hatred now, but this was evidence that he hadn't let hatred consume him entirely like before; he had moved on from it somewhat.
"Then we can go see Nunnally, okay?"
Shen He shook his head helplessly, but he was still quite happy inside.
Saiki Kusuo, Ryougi Shiki, Violet, Lelouch, Jeanne (d'Arc), Accelerator, and Misaka Mikoto—unconsciously, there were already seven people around him.
Humans were indeed social creatures; just looking at this large table full of people brought a constant sense of fulfillment.
Not to mention, one of them was his lover.
After a meal eaten with everyone sweating profusely, the Servants seemed to have become closer. Shen He even pulled Accelerator aside for a drink, pestering him about whether he was a man or a woman. As a result, Accelerator crushed several glasses. If he hadn't been suppressed to level one, he probably would have flipped the table.
Misaka Mikoto also secretly drank some sweet wine and got tipsy. She grabbed Accelerator, wanting to challenge the number one ranked esper.
Then, with everyone as witnesses, Misaka Mikoto, also suppressed to level one, ended the fight with a granny-style forty-five-degree diagonal kick attack, achieving victory.
It was just a shame that the Railgun was wearing safety shorts.
And in the end, they still couldn't figure out Accelerator's gender.
The night was already deep.
A faint scent of alcohol wafted through the room. The only table lamp emitted a weak, soft glow, dimly illuminating the face of Jeanne (d'Arc), who had her eyes closed in Shen He's arms. His fingers gently traced down her snow-white back. Just the warmth of that touch made him intoxicated.
Jeanne's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her light purple eyes blinked, shyly lowering her head.
She was currently pressed against Shen He, completely naked.
"Sorry, did I wake you?"
Shen He looked at Jeanne's beautiful face with some apology.
"No... Servants don't need to sleep." Jeanne kept her smile, her face pressed against Shen He's chest, "It's just that listening to Master's heartbeat gives me a strange feeling."
"A strange feeling? I feel the same."
Shen He reached out with his other hand, wrapped his arms around Jeanne's waist, and gently rolled over, pressing her tightly against him, as if he wanted to crush her in his embrace.
It was indeed a strange feeling, because at this moment, the previous impression of Jeanne in his mind gradually faded, and the current impression became more real.
It seemed this girl, Jeanne, was just sharing a name with the Jeanne from the original story. All that filled his mind now were her smiles and frowns from these past few months.
Transmigrators often carried a sense of loneliness, but perhaps it was only now that he truly considered this place his home.
Ever since moving in with Jeanne, Shen He had developed a taste for it.
He wished he could stay in their room all day.
The result was that on the third day, after his iron fist warning proved useless, Shen He, clutching his slightly swollen eyes, went to work obediently.
"Can't beat her... that's a big problem, isn't it?" Thinking about his miserable experience, Shen He couldn't help but sigh softly.
"The director is really spot-on," Coulson also wore a helpless expression. "Not being able to win is indeed a big problem."
"...Huh?" Shen He was a bit bewildered.
He was currently listening to Coulson's report, which, aside from the developments of the past period, mainly included unsolvable problems.
"Skye is completely unable to control Banner. The incident this morning has already caused nearly a hundred civilian casualties. One of our agents is also seriously injured and is being rescued at a local hospital. However, the medical conditions there are rudimentary, and his condition is very critical." Coulson pushed the tablet forward a bit. "I have already dispatched a medical team there under the guise of assistance from a virtual reality company."
The screen displayed a frantic green giant, continuously leaping on a dilapidated, run-down building. The weapons of the armed helicopters were completely ineffective against him, and he even jumped up to smash several of them. The scene was filled with dense gunfire and the terrified screams of the crowd.
It was none other than the Hulk, Banner, who had originally been hiding in India to study yoga.
"Nearly a hundred casualties?" Shen He pointed at the video. "Hundreds is probably an understatement."
There were quite a few houses that had collapsed, not to mention the rampaging Hulk.
"That's the official data." Coulson naturally knew what was going on. "The actual number of people hasn't been counted yet."
"What's the cause?"
Shen He frowned slightly.
He still didn't fully grasp the Hulk's destructive power. After all, in the movies, the Hulk was also a hero, so they wouldn't overly focus on the scenes where he hurt innocent people.
But the video before him now felt much more real; it was a heartbreaking disaster.
"We've only traced it back to a Japanese Yakuza group so far," Coulson explained briefly. "There are many people and forces who have designs on Dr. Banner, even including various national armies. If we really wanted to investigate, it wouldn't be difficult to find his hiding place, but previously, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been secretly protecting him, and now..."
He didn't need to say the rest; Shen He understood.
Although Chaldea was currently also keeping an eye on Dr. Banner, Chaldea didn't have the same influence as S.H.I.E.L.D.
Some people and forces naturally began to stir, and it was possible for one or two reckless small-time crooks to appear. As long as someone angered Banner, the ever-enraged Hulk wouldn't care where he was.
"So, besides Banner, the other superpowered individuals might be in a similar situation?" Shen He suddenly realized.
In the past, many superpowered individuals were targeted for protection or control by S.H.I.E.L.D. Now, most of them have lost their shackles and will inevitably be targeted, or they might start showing off everywhere.
"The most important The Sandbox base wasn't breached by HYDRA, but… they don't trust us." Coulson then explained the situation.
The Sandbox is the codename for a mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. base, mainly used to detain and store dangerous individuals or items that could not be controlled. Most superpowered criminals were also held there. After the battle began, because The Sandbox wasn't deeply infiltrated, HYDRA couldn't take it down in a short time, and it survived.
After the battle ended, Coulson went there in person, but the leader didn't acknowledge Chaldea, choosing to defend it to the death.
"That place should still be under Fury's control." Shen He waved his hand indifferently, "Have Hill ask them if any superpowered criminals have escaped. How are the twins doing now?"
Hill was also a spy sent by Fury, but Shen He didn't care about such things.
"The terrorists who killed their parents are still under investigation, but Tony has personally talked to them a few times." Although Shen He's question suddenly jumped to the twins, Coulson still answered fluently, "Now they have put aside those hatreds; they just didn't understand Tony before."
