Even though the Boreas family had strange ways of teaching, Shirou really wanted to complain about what kind of family values this family actually had, but right now, the most important thing for him was that Eris was finally willing to learn swordsmanship with him.
In this way, Shirou could also continue learning the Sword God Style from Ghislaine.
Everything was finally back on track.
However, even though it was said to be back on track, it had actually been in trouble from the beginning.
After all, Eris being forced to make that kind of expression and ask to learn swordsmanship could be said to be a huge humiliation for her.
At this time, even though she was doing her best to maintain a smile because Sauros was present, that smile actually made Shirou feel almost terrified.
A smile on her lips, but no smile in her eyes, that was a predator's look.
"Please teach me swordsmanship, Shirou teacher meow☆"
Please stop using that weird tone.
Shirou really wanted to say these words, but because the people of the Boreas family around him all looked like this was very normal, even praising Eris's appearance, he couldn't say anything at all.
And although the people around him were very enthusiastic and thought Eris' actions were very good.
But Eris herself clearly didn't have this kind of reaction.
Looking at Eris's expression now, eighty percent anger, twenty percent humiliation.
Not only was she already red-faced with anger, but her face was as if to say that if she wasn't in this situation, she would have already swung her fist and punched him directly.
Shirou even suspected that the degree of dislike he had in her heart had gone to a new level.
How am I going to live in the future?
Shirou sighed in his heart.
At the same time, Sauros was so happy that his face was falling apart, laughing and saying, "Oh, little Eris is so cute, of course you'll agree, Shirou?"
"This... I agree."
At this time, Shirou really couldn't say anything to refuse.
Especially since Eris was looking at him with a fierce look that said if I've already done this, and you still refuse, I will definitely beat you to death.
There was completely no way out.
"By the way, why is it this way?"
After agreeing to teach swordsmanship, Shirou couldn't bear it anymore and asked the question.
The maid next to him took the opportunity to say, "The male heirs of the Boreas family really like beast people. When hiring Ghislaine, this was also a bonus, so when educating Miss Eris, they also hope that she can show more of the appearance of a beast person to attract their favor."
As expected, this family is not normal!
Shirou had expected it, but he didn't expect these nobles to be this perverted.
And although Shirou's mood was complicated, the fact that he was willing to accept Eris and teach her swordsmanship was still confirmed in this ridiculous development.
The Boreas family all came to celebrate, and even planned to hold a banquet.
However, the banquet did not start smoothly.
Because coincidentally, the chef in the castle had called in sick, and the replacement chef didn't have the ability to hold a banquet, only being able to make some home-style dishes.
This result undoubtedly disappointed Sauros very much. He even wanted to go directly to the city to hire a famous chef to cook on the spot.
Such reckless actions were undoubtedly stopped by the other members of the Boreas family. After all, even if they went to the city to find someone, it would be too late to complete the banquet starting now.
"Why don't I cook?"
Seeing how things were developing, Shirou couldn't help but speak up.
He had actually wanted to cook in the Boreas castle for a long time, but first of all, he was an outsider, and secondly, the Boreas family was a noble family with all sorts of strict rules. This meant that even if Shirou had this idea, he could only think about it in his heart and couldn't take the initiative to bring it up.
But this time, Shirou had integrated into the Boreas family through the kidnapping incident, and plus there happened to be a lack of a chef, so he simply volunteered, wanting to show off his cooking skills after a long time.
"How can this be?"
Unsurprisingly, Sauros was the first to object to Shirou's request.
He didn't think that Shirou had any ability to make decent dishes, and it was impossible to let Shirou do this kind of thing that only servants would do.
Shirou could see what Sauros was thinking, and he had expected it, so he took the initiative to say, "Master Sauros, cooking is not just a job for servants. In fact, in most common families, cooking is an important part of enhancing feelings and improving the family atmosphere. If it were normal times, it would be fine, but now that there happens to be a chef missing, why not let me try?"
"This..."
Hearing Shirou say this, Sauros's tightly frowned brows eased slightly.
But his attitude was still mainly skeptical.
After all, Shirou looked too young and didn't look like an experienced chef. Letting him prepare the banquet might lead to him losing face.
Sauros could be said to be treating Shirou like his grandson now, full of concern.
Seeing that the situation was a bit deadlocked, Philip couldn't help but step forward and say, "Father, why don't we let Shirou try? Although Paul has been kicked out of the family and cut off ties, he still has the blood of the Greyrat family, so naturally Shirou, as his son, is also a member of the Greyrat family, so letting him cook for us is not a problem, and even if it's not delicious, it's still a good way to improve family relationships."
Philip has always been eloquent.
With a few simple words, he gradually changed Sauros's thinking, making this stubborn old man have an attitude of agreement, nodding.
Shirou was then able to have the opportunity to enter the Boreas family's kitchen.
"...Stare"
When Shirou was about to go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes, he found Eris cautiously staring at him from the side.
For Eris, although Shirou had saved her from Thomas before, that couldn't completely reverse her inherent impression of Shirou. Plus, Sauros had forced her to do such a shameful thing to Shirou this time, and Eris's complaints about Shirou in her heart could be said to have broken through the sky.
If it wasn't for her encounter with Emiya that night, she would definitely not have taken the initiative to propose learning swordsmanship from Shirou.
But because of the agreement with Emiya, even if Eris's heart was full of dissatisfaction, she could only hold her nose and force herself to learn swordsmanship from this annoying guy.
And the result of this was that, although Eris became Shirou's disciple on the surface, her heart was still full of all kinds of resentment.
She didn't want to have any interaction with Shirou other than swordsmanship, let alone eat the dishes he made.
Only dogs would eat that kind of thing!
Eris made up her mind in her heart that she would definitely not eat a bite of the dishes that Shirou made later!
And Shirou didn't know what Eris was thinking, he just calmly followed the butler to the Boreas's kitchen, and deeply felt how vast the foundation of a large family was.
Even if it was just the kitchen, the Boreas family had built it quite complexly.
All kinds of tools and materials were placed inside, and all kinds of ingredients that were usually rare in this era were piled up like they didn't cost any money.
The moment he walked into the kitchen, Shirou even had the feeling of an adventurer breaking into a treasure vault full of treasures, feeling very satisfied.
However, even with such a treasure mountain, Shirou didn't plan to use the Boreas family's ingredients to make a feast.
It was true that there were so many ingredients and tools here that it was outrageous. The biggest fresh food supermarket Shirou had visited in his previous life might not have had more things than this.
But Shirou had always followed one principle in cooking, and that was that the chef's heart was above all else!
For the people of the Boreas family, delicacies were probably something they were already tired of eating, and all kinds of rare ingredients were not difficult for them to see.
In addition, the Boreas family's original chef had superb skills, and Shirou had even planned to find the old chef to discuss cooking techniques before.
Therefore, Shirou didn't think it was necessary to make any lavish dishes.
On the contrary, Shirou planned to make the most simple, the most basic home-style dishes.
Because it was such a large castle and a complex family, some more pure, more simple dishes could touch people's hearts.
The chef must stand in the perspective of the diner and make dishes that satisfy the diner.
This was Shirou's way of cooking.
So, Shirou quickly began to bury himself in hard work in the kitchen. He didn't take those complex and rare ingredients, but chose all kinds of the most common and simple cooking materials.
In the end, what he created was not some special food, but just some simple home-style dishes, such as fried eggs, fried meatballs, sandwiches... If it was his previous world, people might even think he was preparing a bento box.
Shirou placed these prepared dishes on simple plates, without any extra decoration or any secret seasonings, and just took them out.
In the Boreas's living room, everyone in the family was gathered at the dining table at this time, preparing to eat with special etiquette.
After all, the Boreas family was a noble family, so they had to pay attention to etiquette when eating.
Eris was often lectured by the butler or her parents for not following the etiquette, but she still didn't change her ways even when she knew she was wrong.
Right now, Shirou brought the dishes over, and the people of the Boreas family almost visibly felt disappointed.
After all, the dishes Shirou made were too simple, completely the kind of dishes that commoners would make.
If an ordinary chef made this kind of thing, they would probably have been kicked out of the Boreas family long ago.
But because it was Shirou who made them, everyone would naturally still give him face, at least trying them simply.
And they didn't know until they ate it, the moment they ate the dishes, the expressions of the people of the Boreas family changed noticeably.
"This is..."
Philip widened his eyes, looking at the seemingly simple dishes in front of him, he could even feel a certain warmth coming from the dishes.
An unprecedented experience was exploding on his tongue, making his life as a noble son, which had been bound for many years, become more colorful than before all at once.
For a time, his heart only had one thought left.
That was that these dishes simply had magic!!
