28: Women…

'I've found it! The way to get him away from Mama,' Ruby seemed to have found a way to keep Adam away from Ai.

Leaving that aside it didn't take long to clean the kitchen and everyone was stumped.

"So, you made a stuffed whole roasted chicken as the main dish?" Adam asked and Ai nodded.

"Well, I forgot about the time, Tehe~!" Ai said and the others couldn't look the other way even if she acted cute.

"How much food did you make?" Miyako asked as Ai tried to remember.

"There is rice, sweet and sour pork, tofu miso soup, Nepolitan, kaarage, and tempura as well," Ai said while counting on her fingers and the others were even more stumped.

'Did you try to make a feast or something?' They couldn't help but think that since Ai had made a lot of food even if she was thinking that all of them would be eating here, which they were sure she didn't.

Not to mention that she was just making things from all over the place not sticking to one cuisine.

"Sigh* Why did you cook so much food?" Ichigo couldn't help but ask since Ai herself can't eat a lot as she is on a strict diet, the kids weren't going to eat much as well not to mention his wife.

"It looks like we will need to finish the food," Ichigo looked at Adam who was sitting at the dining table with him.

"Looks like it," Adam just nodded as he took the bowl of hot rice given to him by Ai.

"Eat a lot, Mister," Ai said with a smile and Adam nodded.

"Thanks for the food!" And with that, everyone started to eat.

"Ai the pork is too sweet," Ichigo complained after he took a bite.

"Is it really Mister?" But Ai asked Adam about it even if Ichigo told her about it.

"No it is fine," Adam said and Ai seemed happy to hear about it totally forgetting what Ichigo said.

'Well, it is good since Ai cooked it,' Aqua was really impressed by Adam since he was really thankful for the food, unlike Ichigo who just complained.

'At least he knows how to be grateful for the rare blessing,' Ruby thought while eating so quickly that the sauce got on her face.

And like the dinner continued with people stopping one by one, the first one was surprisingly Ichigo, then Miyako after which the kids also seemed to have had their fill.

So, the last ones on the table were Ai and Adam.

But only Adam was eating as Ai was just filling up the bowls as soon as he emptied it.

'He sure can eat,' Ichigo thought as he looked at Adam who was still eating like he had an empty stomach.

'Maybe that's how one can get that type of body, I should try it as well,' Aqua thought while looking at Adam, but the real reason was something else.

"Mister you like the Kaarage?" Ai asked and Adam nodded.

"I really like chicken,"

'I know you do,' Ai thought while looking at Adam, 'It is because every time I saw you eat, you always ate plates full of fried chicken.'

Adam liked Chicken since it was one of the dishes he could make in the world he was summoned into, they had chickens so it became his comfort food.

'Grr, I don't like it, I'll need to make a move now,' Ruby did not like the scene in front of her, the way Ai was smiling while giving food to Adam didn't sit well with her that is why.

"Miyako come here," Ruby called out to Miyako quietly while she was looking at the dining table or more particularly…

"You're interested in him, right?" Ruby didn't beat around the bush and went straight for the kill as soon as they reached the room.

'What is she up to?' Aqua also followed them since he could also clearly see what his sister was trying to do but he didn't stop her because…

"W-What do you mean?" Miyako's face turned a little red as she nearly shouted.

'Yep, she was interested after all,' Aqua had noticed it a while back, it was just after Adam said that he wasn't married.

"D-Don't talk about such things, I am a married woman," Miyako tried to stand up and go out but.

"You remember what we promised you, right?" Ruby said and Miyako halted in place.

"Y-You don't mean….that?" Miyako looked back and asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, for your service of taking care of us, The Incarnation of Amaterasu and children of Hoshino Ai, we've given you this opportunity you've always yearned for," Ruby said in a solemn voice.

'Didn't we do that to fool her though?' Aqua thought as he remembered that incident, It was when Miyako tried to expose the fact that Ai was pregnant because she was stuck there taking care of the two of them and became angry. It was really a miracle that they were able to make her believe that crap.

'Given how old we were, the ridiculous lie seemed really true,' Aqua knew this because no normal children would be able to speak clearly at that age unless something supernatural was involved.

And for Ai's kids, the situation was indeed supernatural as they were actually reincarnations with memories of their previous lives intact.

Leaving that aside, Miyako was totally hooked by Ruby.

"As promised we have brought a young, good-looking, and wealthy man for you, if you let this chance go, we do not know when the next one will present itself," Ruby spoke mysteriously as Miyako started to panic a little.

'Yes, who knows when another chance will come, and even if it comes, what if I am too old at the time?' Miyako thought and Ruby knew she had this one in the bag.

'Well, good-looking man and young aside, do you even know if he is wealthy?' Aqua thought while narrowing his eyes.

He used the term good looking man because if you had to go just by the looks, Adam was well above average, but he wasn't crazy hot that girls would blush just by looking at him, even then his confidence, physique, and the way he carried himself added to his charm.

All in all, he was a Good looking man that women wouldn't pass up on even when he standing next to a really handsome guy.

But whether he was wealthy or not was the problem.

'He did grow up in an orphanage but he even went to America to study as a chef means he has talent or at least connections, not to mention his clothes and shoes, he should be moderately wealthy,' Aqua made his assumption based on the type of clothes and shoes Adam was wearing, they all looked high-quality goods, so it wasn't a wrong assessment.

Even then Aqua was sure that Ruby did not think that far ahead and just straight-up lied to Miyako.

'She is right, not to mention that he is handsome, But also 10 years older than Ai, that means he should be 32 years old right now? Isn't he totally in my age range then? This is my best chance,' Miyako's eyes widened when she realized that.

'Heh, I got her,' Ruby knew that Miyako had fallen for the trap.

"Ok, I'll take this chance, thank you very much," Miyako said to Ruby with a bow as…

"No need to thank us, this is the fruit of your labor," Ruby said as Miyako nodded and went out of the room.

"You might go to hell for breaking their marriage you know?" Aqua said.

"Heh," Ruby turned to look at Aqua with a smug smile and said, "Anything to keep Mama safe, I am not letting any playboy come near Mama."

'Not sure about the playboy thing but, I am sure Miyako would've made her move sooner or later after gauging out a few things,' Aqua thought as he chose to close his eyes to this incident.

"Where are you going?" Ichigo asked Miyako as he saw her grabbing her handbag.

"I am going to the toilet," Miyako left quickly with the handbag.

'Did she get a stomach ache because of Ai's food?' Ichigo thought that he should buy some meds after they left from here.

But there was one thing that was bugging him…

"Why do you need your handbag in the toilet?" Ichigo still couldn't understand how women think even after he had so many relationships.
