Punishing Luna with a slap in the ass inside the house, using the power of fatherly love. Linc told Luna to apologize to Raina, and she just gritted her teeth in annoyance, rubbing her aching butt with tears in her eyes.
Linc glanced at her.
"I'm sorry..."
After apologizing to Raina. Linc noticed that it was already noon. Decided to cook at Raina's house using the ingredients Lamy gave.
Usually during the day like this if he is still busy at the office, Luna will go to Raina's house, and the two of them will eat together.
The two of them were actually quite familiar. But somehow the two of them always couldn't get along.
Linc always tilted his head in confusion at this.
"Hm? It's a little rare."
Linc took out snow radishes the size of his arms in surprise.
Snow radish is a special product from sector-09 which has a cold and liquid taste, even if you bake it on a warm fire. The coldness in the mouth will not go away.
This is what makes snow radish a very unique ingredient in sector-09.
Most people use these chilled radishes to make their ice cream last longer. But the taste is always removed first because it does not match the ingredients of ice cream.
Thought for a while, and decided to make clear radish soup to maintain the characteristics of the ingredients, trying new things. Raina helped Linc in the kitchen, and this intrigued Lamy a little.
Waited a while, the food was ready, and Luna ate right away, regardless of the taste at all.
This made Linc hurt when he saw it.
He felt that the cooking skill that Claire gave him was a trash skill.
"This is delicious... How? Why is the coldness still there in the warm soup? The coldness of the snow radish should decrease if it is cooked using the hot method. How do you defend it?"
"Well, quite simple. Put the snow radish as the last ingredient in the soup. the original taste of food ingredients is the key to taste."
"B-But, the radish texture will harden!"
"Isn't it enough to just boil it and then put it in the fridge to cool it down?"
Lamy: "...."
Has a blank look on her face. Lamy held her dizzy head.
"I've never thought of it that way. It opened my mind."
Finished eating, and waved his hand to Raina who was going to visit Lamy's house for cooking practice. Linc who saw Raina being dragged away by Lamy in a hurry, smiled gently.
"Okay, now let's finish our task first."
Washing dishes, and drinking water to restore the body's metabolism. Linc was walking towards the front door, and he suddenly stopped.
"Luna, where are you?"
"...."
"[She angry.]"
Sigh, Linc got into his car, slowly.
"Luna! We're going to a shopping!"
Wait a few seconds in silence. Linc heard the back door of the car open, and Luna got into the car with an excited look.
"Where!?" Luna stood up, and gripped the chair sitting next to his excitedly.
Linc could sense that Luna was jumping up and down at the moment.
She seemed very happy.
"[Like a child.]"
"Aren't you a kid too?"
Shaking his head helplessly. Linc stepped on the gas pedal, and slowly turned the steering wheel.
"Sector-02, shopping mall."
____
In the Dawn City, Sector-02 is the city center in the first zone. Here, you can buy many products from various sectors.
since the public announcement of the Hore energy solvent antigen. International trade traffic is increasing, which makes this sector even more prosperous.
Although the visitors who enter the Dawn City have been restricted so as not to create a mess. The streets in the city are still rather congested with transportation vehicles.
This is also caused by the road lane that is directly connected to the main door.
Plus due to the expansion and construction of a second city project above the surface. Made many foreign faces enter Dawn City, to take a walk.
Linc, even saw a group of human traffickers wandering the streets accompanied by several Transfusion operators from the Neisser Society.
The world is slowly changing.
"Why are you here?" Irene opened her eyes in surprise.
"Luna!" Sara shouted happily.
Saw that there were Irene and Sara who were also shopping in the school supplies area. Linc came up to the two of them with unhurried footsteps.
As for Luna. she was immediately hugged by Sara tightly.
"Ugh."
Luna tried to push Sara who was clinging to her body away.
Noticing that Linc was slowly walking towards her. Irene saw the book that Linc bought, and she opened her eyes in surprise again.
"Wait a minute, don't tell me you're going to make Luna go to school too."
Linc nodded him head, confirming what Irene just said.
"So we're going to be classmates!?" Sara asked excitedly.
"No! I'm much older than you! You should call me upperclassman!"
"Senior sister? Why is upperclassman shorter than Sara?"
"Ugh..."
Luna gets a critical hit.
"I'm not shorter than you. I'm one centimeter taller!"
"Then prove it!"
....
Listen to their conversation. Linc suddenly got important information.
"Is Sara still not in school?"
Irene shook her head: "All this time she was taught by my parents at home. Since she is now old enough to study, I want to register her to enter this year's school."
Before Antigen Energy Hore appears. Concern for the younger generation is a major problem for all Transfusion circles.
School for them is a place to break the distance between their relationship and their child. many Transfusions in Dawn City never consider sending their children to school.
Now, because the situation has stabilized. The enrollment within dawn city began to experience a significant increase, and many parents decided to send their children to school.
Sara seems to be this kind of group.
"Next week?"
"Yes, next week."
Seeing Linc in front of her. Irene sighed, and she gave a small smile.
"Since I haven't had time to return the favor to you, how about if I help you to buy some school supplies. I know all kinds of high-quality school stuff."
Looking at Irene who smiled at him. Linc nodded his head, accepting Irene's invitation.
Professional must be left to professional.
Linc turned around: "Luna, we will go together with Irene for shopping."
Irene shouted: "Sara, don't wander around! Come here quickly!"
Hearing Linc and Irene's voice. Sara ran to her big sister, and she held her right hand tightly.
"Sis, ice cream!"
"Yeah I know."
Saw that the once brutal figure of Irene was replaced with a caring figure like an older sister. Lin just smiled a little.
He glanced at Luna.
"...."
Luna slowly step back...
Linc sighed.
"...."
Feeling that the choices she makes are always wrong. Luna hesitated for a while, and she finally decided to hold onto Linc's left hand, like a child.
"Luna want... Ice cream too."
"Of course!"
Gripped Luna's small hand tightly. both Linc and Irene decided to buy Sara and Luna ice cream first, to keep them quiet, and not cause trouble.
When they have finished buying ice cream and decide to continue looking for materials, especially school books. A mother with two children suddenly passed the two of them.
"Ara~ the perfect family."
They all suddenly froze, speechless.
Linc: "...."
Irene: "...."
Sara: "...."
Luna: "...."
Claire: "[Surprise attack!]"
