Breakfast

Kimihito and Chitose were surprised because everyone was already in the living room. Especially when she saw that Nonko, who rarely got up early, was also there, and now, all the residents of Yuragi-sou have gathered.

"Nee Nee~ Kimihito-chan, hurry up. I can't wait anymore~"

"Be patient, Nonko. I'm carrying it." After last night's drinking party, Kimihito and Nonko's relationship became closer. Especially Nonko, because she's found a drinking buddy who's hard to get drunk on.

After Chitose and Kimihito put all the food on the table, they surprised by how tempting the dish looked.

"I'm surprised. You also can cook Kimihito Kurusu?" Sagiri asked, completely unable to believe what she saw.

"Call me Kimihito like the others. And I only cook the fish. Chitose-san is the one who cooks the rest."

"Is it okay? It looks so red." Sagiri's comment after seeing the fish with red spices like smoldering fire.

"But it smells sweet, Sagi-chan~"

Hearing Nonko, she brought her nose closer to smell it more clearly. "Indeed, it smells sweet."

"I season the fish with a sweet-spicy taste, and it's also not too spicy."

Clap

Chitose, who saw everyone who couldn't wait to eat, clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. "Then everyone..."

"Itadakimasu!" X6

They started to enjoy their breakfast. For Yuuna herself, Kimihito had already prepared food for the offering. Even though Yuuna is a ghost, there was no way he would let her watch them enjoy their meal when she wasn't.

"Nngh!!" X6

Instantly, they all could feel they were soaking in the hot spring pool. But not only that, they can see the carp fish swimming calmly in the hot pool. In addition, the water in the hot pool is sweet, and they can feel the warmth and serenity after eating the fish made by Kimihito.

Kimihitowanted to make dishes that could warm and soothe both body and soul from the very beginning. Because it's still winter, the dishes are very suitable to be enjoyed at times like that, especially if enjoyed together, the effect of the food that comes out will be more pronounced.

"S-so delicious!" Sagiri was surprised because the taste of Kimihito's cooking far exceeded her expectations.

"Umu."

"Thanks for the compliment, but Chitose-san cooking is just as good."

"Ara? Fufufu~ Thanks for your compliment, Kimihito-kun."

{Chitose-san has lived for hundreds of years. Of course, the food she makes tastes amazing.}

"Ha?"

'Hundreds of years?'

Kimihito gaped at Yuuna's writing, rubbed his eyes, and read it once more. Convinced of what he had just read, he then looked at Chitose. He didn't expect the girl who looked like a 13-year-old had already lived for hundreds of years.

Chitose, who felt stared at by him, became confused. "What's wrong Kimihito-kun?"

"No, I was just… Surprised."

"It's natural for humans to be surprised, and please treat me as usual." She said, smiling at him.

Despite being hundreds of years old, Chitose prefers to be treated as Chitose, Yuragi-sou's innkeeper, rather than the legendary Zashiki Warashi. It was uncomfortable for her to be treated by the people around her as special.

Unbeknownst to them, Nonko had started in front of them with her small party. "As expected, this grilled fish would be perfect when served with Sake!"

"Are you drunk, Nonko?" He couldn't say anything looking at Nonko, who was already drunk even though it was still too early to drink.

{It's pretty unusual that Nonko-san doesn't drink.}

"Do you want Kimihito-chan?" She asked while showing the large Sake bottle in her hand.

"I don't drink Sake this early."

"Eeh? Even though you're great, you know~ last night~" Nonko said in a teasing tone.

"Kimihito! What did you do with Nonko last night?!"

"Sagiri, calm down! I just had a drinking party with Nonko yesterday." He tried to calm Sagiri, who was still misunderstood.

"You, Nonko! Don't use a tone that will misunderstand others!"

"Ehehe~"

At that time, a thought suddenly crossed Kimihito's mind. And he immediately asked everyone who was there, "Hmm... Is there a way for me to see ghosts?"

"You want to see Yuuna?"

"I want to be able to see her. It feels weird to live together in a room but can't see her form."

Yuuna, who heard Kimihito reason, suddenly hugged him tightly. It was the first time she heard someone who wanted to see her. Many people were afraid of her, so her heart immediately shook when Kimihito said he wanted to see her.

"Yuuna?"

{...}

"Yuuna-san looks happy." Said Chitose, who saw Yuuna's face that looked happy.

{Sorry, Kimihito.}

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Ehem, about your question... We, Chuuma Ninja have a lens-like device for ordinary people who can't see supernatural beings," Sagiri said suddenly.

"Is that true? but is it for sale?"

"It's for sale, and you can buy it through an online store called Chuumazon." He felt familiar after hearing about Chuumazon somewhere.

"Are you guys really a secret organization?" He felt there would never be a secret organization that set up an online store.

"We are also exporters of specialty commodities, but of course, only certain people know this."

"Then how can I buy things from there?"

"All you have to do is create a Chuumazon account." That was the only answer Sagiri gave to him.

Kimihito immediately opened his smartphone and looked for Chuumazon on the internet out of curiosity. It's easy to find Chuumazon's website because as soon as he enters the Chuumazon keyword, he immediately finds it on the top line of search results.

"Is this the web?" He asked while showing his smartphone to Sagiri.

She made sure the website he visited was correct, she then confirmed. "Right… W-wait, you already have the account?"

"Is that true?"

It seemed that Kimihito had indeed heard of Chuumazon's name somewhere, but he had forgotten that he had bought anything there. With that, he quickly opened his purchase history and checked if he had ever shopped there.

'Animal taming pill?' Thinking for a while, he finally remembered something.

"Ah! I remember buying animal taming pills to tame the animals in the forest."

{Did it work?} Yuuna asked, feeling interested because it could tame animals.

"But after that, I was in a coma for a few days."

"Eh?! How come? It's just a pill, right?"

Sagiri was confused by his words. There's no way the tools sold by Chuuma Ninja have side effects like coma because it doesn't suck energy at all but has been energized by Chuuma Ninja. Of course, it has been tested by Chuuma Ninja standards.

"Precisely because it was just a pill, I fell into a coma."

With that, he began to explain. "Animal taming pills had to be put in the mouths of animals before they could work, and at that time, I was trying to tame a tiger and a bear who were fighting for territory. When I got close, the two beastsimmediately saw me as an enemy and started attacking me. But at the last moment, I was able to put the pill in both of their mouths. As the result of my fight, I was seriously wounded all over my body. Of course, I lost a lot of blood. It took a few days for me to wake up from the coma and a few weeks for my body to recover fully."

Recalling the incident made Kimihito grateful for his luck. He was lucky to find the two animals exhausted from fighting. Otherwise, he didn't know if he would still be alive.

"Wait, don't you have a strong physique due to heavenly restrictions?" Sagiri asked, feeling strange. She couldn't believe that a person's physical strength with heavenly restrictions was only that much.

"At that time, I was only five years old. What do you expect from a boy of that age?" He said casually.

Everyone who heard it fell silent, they couldn't imagine a 5-year-old human child fighting a tiger and a bear together, and he managed to win by surprise.

"WHAT?!" Sagiri was shocked after finding out that he was fighting at five years old. She couldn't imagine herself doing that at five years old. She remembered that she was still playing and learning about being a Chuuma Ninja at five.

"But I'm glad you survived," Chitose said with relief.

"Hmm." Yaya nodded in agreement, and Yuuna looked relieved.

"Heee~ 5-year-old Kimihito-chan must be cute~"

Nonko is still Nonko. She doesn't bother thinking about Kimihito fighting, but she was more interested in his appearance when he was still five years old. She was interested in it because it might be used as a reference for her work.

On the other hand, Kimihito finally found the item to see supernatural beings in Chuumazon. But, "Hmm... But the spirit detection glasses seem to be running out."

"Spirit detection glasses?"

"Yeah, with that, I will be able to see Yuuna andalso hear her voice. That's amazing stuff!"

"Of course, don't underestimate the quality of Chuuma Ninja products," Sagiri said while puffing out her chest, which she deserved to be proud of.

"But it's a shame the stock is still empty, and it says here that it will be available in one month and also this item is a best-selling item."

Hearing that, Sagiri suddenly had an idea. "How about going to a retail shop looking for those glasses?"

"Retail shop?"

"Of course, the price will be a little higher than buying it directly from Chuuma Ninja via Chuumazon."

"Then where is it?"

"All you have to do is search for the 'Chuuma Ninja retail shop near you.' on the internet." She replied casually as usual.

"I wonder if Chuuma Ninja is a secret organization." He muttered, doubting the truth of Chuuma Ninja's secrecy.

After searching the internet, Kimihito found several retail shops selling Chuuma Ninja items nearby. Unfortunately, it was all in Tokyo, and there wasn't a single Chuuma Ninja retail shop in the youkai area, so he had to leave the youkai area(2nd floor) to go to Tokyo(1st floor).

"I'll go look for it later," He said, not immediately going there because it was still too early and retail shops selling goods from Chuuma Ninja were still closed at this hour.

{Kimihito, I want to come with you too!} Suddenly Yuuna wrote that she wanted to go with him later.

"Is it okay, Yuuna?"

{You are trying to find a way to be able to see me. At least I want to accompany you!}

"Well, I just wanted to go to the shop, so don't take it too seriously, just think of it as a walk."

{Umu!}

Meanwhile, Nonko, who had been watching, suddenly said, "Nee Nee~ Kimihito chan, can you buy me some Sake later?"

"Which Sake?"

"That's up to you. I want to drink whatever you choose. Don't worry, I'll pay you back later~"

"But don't complainif you don't like it." He didn't know Nonko's favorite Sake was, but he's sure she liked strong Sake. So he planned to buy the most powerful Sake later.

"Fufufu~ I never regret drinking Sake."
