Over the next few days, Shirou spent his ti learning basic knowledge of this world, studying cooking, and practicing projection magecraft.
His main focus was still on the first two.
After all, things here seed rather chaotic, common sense was crucial. As for cooking… he had basically beco Penguin Logistics chef, and was now urgently developing new recipes.
He even bought a notebook to write down all the recipes he could rember, just in case he forgot them.
His daily schedule beca very consistent:
Wake up → Exercise → Breakfast → Study → Lunch → Study → Shopping → Dinner → Bath → Practice magecraft → Sleep
Every day felt full and productive.
"The soreness is almost gone… I can probably start increasing my training intensity."
After his usual morning exercise, Shirou noticed his body no longer ached like before.
But during these past few days, he realized sothing—
Everyone at Penguin Logistics was physically stronger than him.
No, more accurately, people in this world were generally stronger than modern humans.
Without using magecraft, he was definitely below average here.
After a quick shower, he put on an apron and got busy in the kitchen.
"Looks like everyone's here today, I need five portions. I bought toast yesterday, so I'll make sandwiches. I can make extra so they can take so along for work."
He prepared so beast at, which was similar to beef. A simple sear and seasoning made it delicious. Then he added lettuce, tomato, and a fried egg.
Since it would be eaten right away, he toasted the bread for better texture, layering it in order: lettuce, tomato, sauce, at, egg.
"Shirou, what are we having for breakfast today?"
Croissant peeked into the kitchen.
She had been the last to return these past few days, busy running a stall outside and handling food and lodging on her own. When she ca back and saw Texas, Exusiai, and Sora enjoying Shirou's baked stew rice, she deeply regretted it.
Why had she wasted money outside on diocre food when there was free, delicious food at ho?
As for Sora, she had returned exhausted after work. Shirou happened to see her and made candied sweet potatoes using so gifted sweet potatoes though Exusiai ended up stealing part of it after slling the sweetness.
"Beast-at sandwiches. Already done, just need to cut them."
Shirou skillfully sliced the sandwiches in half and had Croissant carry them out, along with so milk and cups.
"Ohhh, sandwiches today!"
Exusiai clasped her hands sincerely. These past few days of good sleep and good food had filled her with happiness.
Texas quietly sipped her coffee, adding so warm milk Shirou had prepared.
Croissant and Sora placed the sandwiches at their seats.
anwhile, Shirou returned to the kitchen to prepare lunch portions for them to take along.
Since the food would sit for a while, he used pre-prepared feathered beast at. With proper cooking, even when cooled, it would still taste good, it just needed proper storage.
After finishing, he cut each sandwich into halves, packed them into bags, and placed them into an insulated bag.
"These are for you to take along, made with feathered beast at. You won't be back until evening, right?"
Shirou handed the insulated bag to Sora.
"Texas, if we leave now, can we make it back by noon?"
Exusiai suddenly asked seriously.
"No way. We might not even make it back for dinner."
Texas answered imdiately. She knew this delivery well only if everything went perfectly could they maybe return by dusk.
But when has Penguin Logistics ever had a perfectly smooth long-distance job?
"Don't let that happen!"
Exusiai cried out dramatically.
"Don't worry, Exusiai! If we just take down the enemies quickly, we can co back earlier!"
Croissant proposed her "solution."
"That makes sense! I'll go restock my ammo!"
Exusiai imdiately agreed, ready to unleash the "blessing of a hungry angel."
"…Or, Shirou could just make dinner later, right?"
Sora quietly raised her hand with a practical suggestion.
"..."
Croissant and Exusiai looked at each other, then at Shirou.
"Then just call when you get back to Lungn. Factoring in cleanup ti, it should be about right."
Shirou thought it over and it seed manageable. Worst case, it could be a late-night al.
"Waaah… can I request an apple pie too? From that shop in the shopping district."
Seeing Shirou agree so easily, Exusiai imdiately added an order.
"I want those candied sweet potatoes."
Croissant joined in.
"Then I'll also…"
Sora followed along.
Texas didn't say anything but from her ears and expression, she was clearly interested too.
"Alright, alright, I'll prepare everything. Also, I'll be cleaning your place today make sure all personal items are put away in your rooms."
Shirou noted all their requests. Though lately, everyone had been eating quite a lot, he might need to start paying attention to nutrition as well.
As for cleaning upstairs, he had planned it specifically for today while everyone was out, limited to the kitchen and living room.
"All packed away, don't worry! You won't find our underwear or anything!"
Exusiai struck a pose confidently.
"…I hope so."
Shirou sincerely hoped he would not run into anything awkward. When he checked upstairs earlier, he had already seen things he definitely should not have.
"Do not worry, I made sure they cleaned up everything. It's mostly just shared items, dust, and old gri now."
Sora patted her chest proudly.
"Shirou, it's fine you will get used to it if you see it enough."
Croissant patted his shoulder seriously.
"I hope I never get used to that."
Shirou brushed her hand off rcilessly, then checked the ti.
"Alright, get going. You'll be late otherwise."
Only then did they realize the ti.
They hurriedly grabbed their things and rushed out the door, Texas carrying the all-important sandwiches.
Watching the busy Penguin Logistics crew leave, Shirou waved and said:
Stay safe.
