Crossover Anime: I'm at Shuchiin Academy, and my surname is Uchiha.

Chapter 117 Family is the most important

Shirasaki Haruka never expected her daughter to be so well-behaved and sensible! To avoid making her worry, she didn't show the slightest bit of reluctance, truly...!

"Wow! Mommy will work hard and come pick up Xiaohua. Xiaohua, you must be good while you're out, okay?"

Shirasaki Hana was suddenly hugged by her mother and was a little taken aback, but she still nodded emphatically.

Great! I get to eat Ling-gege's desserts again!

Shirasaki Haruka: "Then I'll trouble you to pick up Xiaohua from elementary school tomorrow afternoon, young master."

Uchiha Ryo: "Leave it to me."

After saying that, Uchiha Ryo got up and walked towards Goto Ichiri and the other three.

"Is the band already formed?"

Kita Ikuyo looked over. "It's Uchiha from Class A, and an exchange student from Shuchiin!"

Uchiha Ryo: "...You're only just noticing me?"

Kita Ikuyo shook her head. "No, I just haven't had a chance to talk to her. By the way, Uchiha-kun, are you also a member of the Bond Band?"

"No, I don't play any musical instruments. But what about you, Kita-kun? Do you have any plans to join?"

Kita Ikuyo gave an awkward laugh. "Um, I can't play the guitar either..."

Ichi Nijika: "It's perfectly fine, you can have Little Loneliness teach you~"

Yamada Ryo: "Yes, the matter is perfectly resolved."

Goto Ichiri: "???"

Uchiha Ryo smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Good luck! I'll be here as your fan to listen to your performance."

By the way, before the Bond Band becomes popular, let them compose soundtracks for our game club, perfectly saving the budget for hiring a band.

Suddenly, Yamada Ryo thought of something and looked at Uchiha Ryo.

"The Band of Bonds will be setting up a fan club in the future, with an annual membership fee of 10,000 yuan, payable in advance. Since you're the first fan, I'll offer a friendly price of 9,800 yuan, how about that?"

Ichiji Nijika: "No, no, no, let's not think about what happens next, shall we?"

Seeing that Uchiha Ryo didn't seem to intend to pay for a membership in advance, Ryo was slightly disappointed.

Yamada Ryo: "Alright then..."

.....

After leaving the starry sky, Uchiha Ryo did not return to the apartment, but instead went to Natsume's house.

"Auntie Touko, I'm back. Is Natsume feeling better?"

Fujiwara Touko was collecting clothes in the yard when she saw Uchiha Ryo return home and smiled as she spoke.

"The child is much better now. Although I was thinking of asking for another day off tomorrow, Takashi still wants to go to school."

Uchiha Ryo looked towards Natsume's room on the second floor.

"Auntie Tako, if he hasn't fully recovered by tomorrow morning, then let's ask for another day off and let him rest."

After entering, I went straight to Natsume's room on the second floor, gently knocked on the door, and Natsume's gentle voice came from inside.

"Come in, I'm alright now."

Opening the door, Natsume was sitting on the bed, with Nyanko-sensei lying on one side, and Sakura sitting on the window with a worried expression.

Because Uchiha Ryo often came to give the cherry blossom trees in the yard plant vitality, the cherry blossoms' demonic power was gradually recovering.

But even the most powerful demons cannot prevent the simple cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death that humans experience. For example, even a demon cannot instantly cure a common cold.

Uchiha Ryo: "Are you feeling better? Quite a few classmates have been asking about you."

Natsume nodded, picked up Nyanko-sensei, and placed him on his lap.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now. As long as I get a good rest tonight, I won't be late for school tomorrow."

Uchiha Ryo sat on the ground.

"Where's Yanyunjiang?"

Nyanko-sensei opened his eyes. "Go to sleep in your room. But... Natsume, you're really lucky compared to Reiko."

Reiko Natsume basically had no human friends, which is why she went around looking for yokai (spirits/monsters) and eventually created the Book of Friends. Takashi Natsume, on the other hand, had so many family members and friends who cared about him.

Upon hearing Nyanko-sensei's words, Natsume lowered his head, his expression becoming complicated.

"Didn't Grandma meet a kind person?"

Nyanko-sensei closed her eyes again, seemingly recalling something.

"Rinko prefers to be friends with yokai rather than humans."

Nyanko-sensei didn't directly answer Natsume's question, but his words already said a lot.

The next morning, Natsume was somewhat better, but he still looked weak, so Uchiha Ryo forcibly forbade him from going to school and told him to stay home and rest.

Fujiwara Touko: "Is Xiaoling also asking for leave?"

"Okay, I'll stay and take care of Natsume. Aunt Touko and Uncle Shigeru can go back to their rooms and rest. I'll fry some eggs for everyone's breakfast later."

Fujiwara Touko gently patted Uchiha Ryo's head, then looked at Natsume in the room.

"Okay, then I'll wait to taste Xiaoling's cooking."

Natsume sighed and looked at Uchiha Ryo standing at the door of his room.

"Even if I take the day off, Brother Ling, you don't need to come with me, right?"

Uchiha Ryo: "It's okay. I've already mastered most of the knowledge from school. Compared to my studies, my family is the most important."

Natsume looked up and met Uchiha Ryo's gaze.

"Ah, family is more important... I'm also looking forward to Brother Ling's breakfast."

Uchiha Ryo: "I'll make sure you get the perfect sunny-side-up egg!"

In the Natsume family kitchen, Uchiha Ryo prepared ten slices of toast, five eggs, and a bag of bacon. Since Nyanko-sensei eats human food, while Yanyun-chan is a real cat, she only needs to eat cat food.

I'll have bread, bacon, and fried eggs for breakfast this morning.

Uchiha Ryo put on an apron. It was the first time she had cooked for her family today. Although bacon and eggs were simple, Uchiha Ryo had to make sure Natsume ate the most perfect meal!

Place the bread slices into the toaster, heat oil in a pan, and then start frying the bacon. Fry eight slices in total, enough for two slices per person.

"Very good! Next up are the eggs."

With his mind highly focused, Uchiha Ryo washed the frying pan used for frying bacon and prepared to fry eggs!

Uchiha Ryo's Egg-Frying Class - Class Begins!

Crack an egg into the oil at the perfect temperature, remembering to use low heat. Then, when the bottom of the fried egg has just solidified, sprinkle a little salt on it and pour a small spoonful of water into the empty space. Finally, cover the pot with a lid!

The purpose is to allow the evaporated water vapor to heat the egg whites, so that the fried egg cooks more evenly.

But! Timing is key to making a perfect fried egg. If you simmer it for too long, it will be overcooked or even burnt. If you simmer it for too short a time, the egg won't be set and the yolk will easily crack.

So!! Now is the time!

"Hmph, a mere fried egg? I, Uchiha Ryo... huh?!"

On the surface of the perfectly fried egg, there was a tiny piece of eggshell!

I... I actually made such a mistake?! No... the chopstick tip is too thick, it's hard to pick up this small piece of eggshell.

Uchiha Ryo thought for a moment, then suddenly produced a kunai and picked out the eggshells from it.

"Give this to Aunt Ta Zi."

He took out the freshly baked bread, topped it with bacon and a fried egg, and served it to Fujiwara Takako.

"continue!"

Following the same steps, Uchiha Ryo took a deep breath and placed the egg inside!

The moment—now! He quickly flipped the lid open, and the perfect egg brought a delighted smile to Uchiha Ryo's face.

"What?!"

Suddenly, the yolk broke open, and thick yolk liquid flowed out.

"Failed again... Then take this to Uncle Zi."

Third time frying eggs—

Heat the oil, then add the eggs!

What's frustrating is that the yolk of the third egg was probably already broken, so it instantly turned into a scrambled egg when it fell into the pot.

"ah...."

Uchiha Ryo gritted his teeth, picked up his chopsticks, and started stirring the mixture in a fit of rage, turning the fried egg into a scrambled egg.

"Let's give this to Nyanko-sensei..."

Closing his eyes, Uchiha Ryo tried to calm himself down. Frying an egg was a skill, and he absolutely couldn't afford to mess it up again!

When he opened his eyes again, the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared in his pupils.

Add the eggs the instant the oil is at the perfect temperature! This time I won't make a single mistake!

Just as the egg was still in the air and had not yet touched the bottom of the pot, Uchiha Ryo keenly noticed two tiny and barely noticeable pieces of eggshell hanging on it.

With a whooshing sound, the right-hand kunai suddenly approached the egg and skillfully pried the shell off.

Add salt as needed! Okay, add water! Even if the lid is covered with a layer of white mist, these eyes can still see the specific state of the egg yolk.

"Phew... I did it!"

Perfect bread, bacon, and omelet—this is what Natsume, as a European, deserves.
