Tennyson-Nohara household…

As he is done preparing the sweets Neo decided it is fine to call his parents to help him put all the foods on the table and start their lunch, so he washed his hands and took Yoruichi from the table and walked outside the kitchen to find an old man talking with his father and his mother arguing with a woman in a traditional Japanese Kimono with has a long honey blond hair and purple-pinkish eyes and a fan in her hand.

"Meaw~ " seeing no one noticed them Yoruichi decided to attract everyone's attention and make them know Neo is here.

Hearing her cry everyone turned in their direction and Misty who was arguing with Mana quickly came in front of Neo with a smike and pulled him in front of Erina and started introducing "Dear meet this is Erina-chan, Introduce yourself to her. "

"Hello, nice to meet you My name is Neo Nohara but you can call me Neo. " Neo said with a smile looking at the girl with a honey blonde hair whom he just missed a moment ago.

"Nice to meet you Neo-kun my is Erina Nakiri you can call me Erina. " Erina replied with a red face looking at Neo and talking with a boy for the first time in her life and it should be noted her only friend is her sister Alice Nakiri.

"Dear are you done preparing your foods? " looking at the introduction process going properly Misty asked with a smile.

"Yes, mom. I came here to call you and dad to help me put them on the table. " Neo replied with a nod upon hearing her inquiry.

"You don't need to worry about that just keep Erina-chan company and we will be done in no time. " Misty repaid with a smile.

"Then I will leave it to you and dad. " Neo said with a smile.

After she was done giving her instructions Misty decided to go to the kitchen when Mana called from behind "Let me help that way it will be faster. "

"Sure. " Misty said as Hiro and Mana followed behind her and started putting all the food on the table.

As they were busy with food serving. Neo held Erina's hand and pulled her towards the dining table while asking curiously "Was that your mother Erina-chan? "

"Yes she was my mother and her name is Mana Nakiri. " Erina replied shyly.

"Then is he your grandfather? " Neo asked pointing at Nakiri Senzaemon who is smiling at them while looking from the other side of the table.

"Yes, he is. " Erina said with a nod.

"What kind of food do you like Erina-chan? " Neo decided to ask as they are already in front of the dining table might as well know about her favorite food.

"I don't like anything. " As she is has gone through her father's lessons now she hates food and only lives like her mother with medicine.

"If that's the case how about you try my favorite food? " Hearing she does not like anything Neo thought he likes every kind of things so he decided to offer her his favorite food.

"… " hearing his question Erina didn't reject bug instead looks at him curiously to know what he wants her to eat.

Neo who is waiting for her answer he stood up after finding her looking at him with expectations.

After taking a plate h walked to the corner of the table and opened the cover of a big pot and the room got filled with a rich flavor of hot steaming rice that made Erina and Senzaemon feel like they are not in a small room but in huge farmland in a hot day upon the flavor of the rice went in their nose.

After taking two big spoons of rice on the plate Neo closed the cover of the rice pot and opened another pot and the view in front of Erina and Senzaemon started changing from hot summer day to a day where the whole land started burning because of the hot sun.

While they are still in an illusion they heard Neo's tone and cane back to reality "Here eat this Bangladeshi style meat Curry rice and tell me how do you feel. "

Looking at him offering her a plate of rice with red meat curry she nodded her head after and understood the change cane from the hot red chilly powder in the curry and with a nod she decided to try it out of expectations because this is her first time of having this level of illusion from just smelling something and with a nod, she took a spoon and looking at Neo she said her "thanks." than she first takes a spoon of rice and upon it enters her mouth she got lost in the illusion again but this time there is more to it than just the hot summer day.

This time she saw herself plowing the land in the hot summer day to plant the rice and waiting patiently for rain and after losing all her hope for rain and almost giving up in despair finally the rain came and she was bathed in that rain and planted the rice with a happy smile. Then she saw the rice tree growing slowly and her expectations and dream connected with the rice.

Finally, after many days the rice got ripe with the help of the hot day of the summer and her dreams come true at this moment she came out of the illusion and looked at the rice with a smile while in the corner her eyes contained with some tears she said "It is very good. "

"Why don't you try some curry. " Neo said with a smile.

"Ok. " Erina gave a nod and took a small spoon of curry with and put it in her mouth.

When she puts the curry in her mouth she felt like her body is on fire and her surrounding changing in a vast land without people and looking at the sky she saw the yellow sun shining in the sky with full might and making it hard for her to stand on the same place as she started getting thirsty she felt something coming towards her as the ground under her feet started shaking like an earthquake but hearing the sound from behind her she turned to find hundreds of bulls coming in her direction and she started running in fear of getting crushed under their feet but she is too thirsty because the heat and can not run as fast.

In the end, the bulls caught up with her and when she was about to get crashed she came out of the illusion but in the corner of her eyes the tears remained as Neo said with a smile "Hear drink some water. "

"No, I will continue eating…. "
