A car stopped in front of the house Sora rented in New York. A young man with excitement and worries comes out of the car.
He is an Asian boy with average Asian height. He has slightly long black hair. He is wearing a white t-shirt and black.
He looks at the house and checks his phone to see if he is at the right address. Seeing that he is in the right place he walks toward the door.
He takes a deep breath and rings the doorbell and waits. After a minute an extremely handsome young man opened the door.
Seeing him the young man was a stunt but the next second his mouth broke into a smile and swung his hand from right to the left.
Sora opened the door and saw a young man standing there. The next second he saw his right-hand swinging. He also did the same as he also broke into a grin.
After slamming each other's palm and then thumping the fist on top of another and making a few more strange hand signs they hug each other.
"Look at you kid, you became handsome."
"You brat, still keeping long hair?"
Next, they broke into laughter. The young man said "dude, what happened to you? How did you become so handsome all of a sudden? Did you do plastic surgery?"
"Fuck off! Your dad did? I am naturally."
"Sora, who is it?" Suddenly a voice came from inside. Instantly the young man's face pale and he became stiff.
Sora looks at him and chuckles. He looked back and looked at Nami and said "It's Akira."
"That snotty kid is here?" Nami replied from inside and came to the door. She is wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, ready for the visit.
Akira was awed by her beauty. But fear is what he gets the most. He didn't forget the park he had to go through. Because he and Sora used to hang out together, he had to also face some of the pranks she did to Sora.
Sora chuckled and said "relax, we are not kids anymore. She won't prank you anymore."
Nami chewed bubble gum and nodded her head and agreed with Sora. Akira relaxed a little but he kept vigilant.
Maria also comes down after getting ready. Akira smiles and gives her his respect. He is happy to meet his friend after such a long time.
Sakura didn't want to go at first. After Some talk, she agreed to go with them.
Maria and Sakura drive Sora's car while Nami and Sora join Akira in his car. Sakura follows Akira's car from behind.
.....
"We are here," Akira said as he parked in front of a duplex house. Nami grinned and came out of the car first.
Sora only shakes his head. He also comes out following her. When Akira was about to come out he felt his pants sticking to the seat of his car.
Immediately his face was ashen. He got out and looked back. And there it was the gum Nami was chewing.
Maria and Skura also get out and notice it. Maria looks at Akira apologetically and walks to Nami and pulls her ear as she starts scolding her.
Akira smiled worriedly and said, "it's okay aunty." He knew something was going to happen with her around. So he intentionally didn't wear expensive clothes.
Mr Han opened the door and smiled when he saw Sora and the others. After learning how he has solved the family problem at such a young age and his business is also booming, he likes Sora more.
If he had a daughter then he would surely recommend sora to her. Ms Han also comes and smiles at Maria as she hugs her. They are kind of like old friends.
Everyone goes inside. Akira went directly to his room and changed into new clothes.
Maria gave Ms the gift she brought with her. After lunch, Akira takes Sora to his room. Sora wasn't surprised when he saw the room full of anime posters.
Well, it was him who recommended those anime and mangas to Sora first. Sora chatted with him for some time.
He finds out that he is not single anymore and has a beautiful girlfriend.
"Oh, I saw that you are now a famous person on youtube."
Sora laughed and said, "yeah, I was surprised too." Well, it's true. He didn't open any YouTube channels. Most of his videos are uploaded by others. Mostly food bloggers and only recently a video of his singing in Hawaii.
"Dude, are you really that good at cooking? Some even give you god Yukihira."
Sora laughed and said, "wanna try?"
Akira stood up and said "let's go to the kitchen. Let me judge you. I will see if I can have a foodgasm or not."
"Fuck off! I am straight."
Akira didn't get angry, instead, he grabbed his hand and dragged him downstairs, to the kitchen.
Mr and Ms Han were confused. Only Nami and others grin. Nami stood up and tip toe to the kitchen following them.
Sora shook his head and said "let go of my hand. I will cook." Akira let go of his hand.
Sora looked at him and thought for a second. He decided to make a special dish. Not the basic fried rice.
Akira immediately moved back and faced his back against a wall when he saw Nami. Nami looks at him and rolls his eyes.
Sora ignores his buddy and turns on the stove. Akira was a spectacle and wanted to know what he was making so he asked "Sora, what will you make?"
Sora continued to chap and grin as he said "won't you know once you saw it?"
Akira clicks his tongue and stops asking. He waits behind and looks at Sora cooking. Ms Han also comes to the kitchen and asks "what are you kids doing?"
"Mom, Sora is cooking," Akira said. Ms Han only nodded. She learns that they have a restaurant and Sora is a chef. So she is not worried that they will burn down her kitchen.
If it was her son then she would surely throw all of them out of the kitchen.
Time passes by and Sora continues moving in the kitchen. A few minutes later everyone could start to smell the smells of food.
As time passes, many gulp saliva. Even though they just eat, they still feel hungry.
Nami on the side only smiles. She knows how powerful Sora's cooking has become.
Another few minutes later Sora finally finished cooking.
Sora turns and serves Akira his cooked food. Akira looked at the bowl of egg rice and beside it some small cubes like yellow jelly.
He was confused at first but the next second his eyes lit up. He looks at Sora and asks "Is this what I think it is?"
Sora smiled and nodded. Akira grabbed the bowl of cubes and poured them onto the egg-fried rice. He waits for a second and the cube starts to melt and dissolve in the rice.
"Transforming Furikake Rice." X2
Akira gets excited and takes a spoonful into his mouth. The next second he felt euphoria. He felt like he had just taken a drug and he is now flying.
He gulped down and his dream broke. He opened his eyes and said, "I forgot to chew." He takes the next bite and chews with a smile as he eats.
Ms Han looked at her son weirdly. She even feels a lot angry. He never eats her food happily. She came beside Akira and wanted to taste herself too.
But to her Surprise, Akira moved back with the bowl. He hides as if she will steal it from him. Ms Han felt speechless.
Sora knew this would happen so he give her another bowl of rice. He made enough for everyone.
Ms Han thanks Sora and tastes herself too. The next second a mother and son start to fight over the food. Hearing the commotion Mr Han came inside.
And another minute later, it turned into a three-man fight, sorry two men and one woman fighting.
....
"God Souma, take my respect. Please make me your student. No, even waiters would be fine. Just feed me three times." Akira said as he held Sora's leg and won't let him go.
Ms hand comes beside him and grabs his ear and moves him from Sora.
Nami laughed and said "visit our restaurant when he visits Japan. We will treat you."
Sora also nodded and said "okay we will leave now. Thanks for hosting us." And bow.
After saying goodbye everyone got in the car. Sora stopped midway and walked towards them and gave them three bracelets and said "this is a charm I bought on our journey. This will protect you from evil."
Akira looks at Sora weirdly. He doesn't believe all this like Akira. But seeing that it looked cool he didn't reject it and wore it instantly.
As for Mr and Ms Han, they happily accepted and wore them too.
