"Who exactly is this person? So terrifying!"
Yukio heard the explosion behind her and turned to see the Yashida Family home reduced to ruins, her heart trembling.
If the misunderstanding hadn't been resolved just now, she would probably have been blown to smithereens and buried in these ruins.
However, it was actually a false alarm; if she were truly going to die today, she would have foreseen it in advance.
"This is... the ancestral home?"
At midnight, Yukio looked at the old house before her, a surprised expression on her face, but then she understood:
"Only here will it not be discovered so quickly."
In the city, no matter where they hid, they couldn't escape surveillance, couldn't escape the Yashida Family's sphere of influence.
Only a secluded place like the ancestral home could evade the search.
That house had been abandoned for over a decade.
"They shouldn't have arrived yet. Let's rest here for the night."
Hawking pointed a hand towards the main gate, and the rusty old lock was opened by his Alohomora. The three of them walked into the small house, which was filled with cobwebs and dust.
"It seems we need to clean up first."
Death Woman wiped her hand across the living room table, looking at her dusty hand and saying helplessly.
Yukio placed her katana aside:
"There should be cleaning tools in the utility room; I'll go get them."
She and Mariko had lived in this house for a while when they were children, and she still had some memories of the things here.
Hawking saw this and reached out to stop Yukio:
"No need for such trouble, let me handle it."
"Hawking, it's more appropriate for us to do this kind of thing."
Death Woman heard this, turned around, and smiled.
In her traditional view, it was not appropriate for a man to do such cleaning work, especially since Hawking was only sixteen, still a child.
If by age, Yukio was also a few years older than Hawking; how could they, one an aunt and one an older sister, let Hawking clean?
"My point is that your efficiency would be too low if you cleaned."
Hawking reached out and pointed forward:
"Clean as new!"
magic was released from his hand, transforming into a small magical whirlwind. Under Hawking's command, it quickly swept through every corner of the entire house, thoroughly removing all dust and stains.
In an instant, the entire house was completely refreshed.
"If you did house-cleaning services, you would definitely make a fortune!"
Looking at the room that had transformed in the blink of an eye, Yukio couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Death Woman was equally surprised, but she knew Hawking's background quite well and understood that he possessed many special abilities.
"He's not short on money."
With the development of Hero Alliance International Company, it wouldn't be long before Hawking would probably be the richest man in the World.
"Grumble~~~"
Just then, Yukio's and Death Woman's stomachs rumbled simultaneously, and embarrassed expressions immediately appeared on their faces.
It wasn't surprising; Yukio had been looking for Logan and Mariko since the afternoon and hadn't eaten until now, while Death Woman had flown with Hawking from New York to Tokyo, and then to here, also without having dinner.
"Is there anywhere to eat nearby?"
Hawking rubbed his stomach; he was also a bit hungry.
Yukio shook her head:
"This place is very remote. Most people go to bed when it gets dark, so restaurants are only open during the day. At this hour, you can't even buy groceries."
"Then let's endure it and eat tomorrow morning."
Death Woman suggested.
Missing one meal wasn't a big problem.
"You two wait for me here; I'll be right back."
Hawking frowned. The two women could be hungry, but he didn't like to starve.
He threw a kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique onto the ground, and his hands quickly formed a seal:
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
With a flash, Hawking appeared in his school dormitory room.
Before leaving, he had already left a kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique in his dorm room, to make it convenient to return at any time.
He opened the door and rushed towards the school cafeteria.
"There's still a good amount of ingredients left; it should be enough."
It was already midnight, the cafeteria had long since closed, and the chef, Yug, had also gone home from work.
So, eating ready-made food was definitely not an option. He could only pack up the remaining ingredients from the cafeteria kitchen and prepare something himself.
However, this was not difficult for him, as he had also studied cooking magic quite a bit.
Compared to other types of magic, the difficulty of cooking magic lay not in the magic itself, but rather in the user's culinary skills.
Only those with good cooking skills would make delicious food using cooking magic; if one's cooking skills were poor, even if they mastered the magic, they still wouldn't be able to make good food.
The essence of cooking magic was to use magic to cook more conveniently and quickly, not to conjure delicious food out of thin air.
Conjuring delicious food out of thin air violated Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration and could not be accomplished with magic, at least not within the Wizard system of magic.
And Hawking's cooking skills, while not exceptionally superb, were quite good; before in Sokovia, he was basically responsible for cooking.
"Engorgement Charm!"
He took a basket for ingredients from the kitchen, enlarged it with an Engorgement Charm, and began a large-scale sweep in the kitchen, putting most of the ingredients into the basket.
"It seems that after getting the Adamantium, I need to create my own spatial storage box soon."
Compared to the Engorgement Charm and the shrinking charm, spatial equipment that could store items was much more convenient.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Sensing the spatial coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique in the distance, he hoisted the super-large basket full of ingredients and activated Flying Thunder God, disappearing from his original spot.
Inside the Yashida ancestral home, Death Woman and Yukio were somewhat at a loss due to Hawking's sudden disappearance, when Hawking reappeared in the living room, carrying a basket about the size of a small car.
"This... this is too much!"
The two looked at the large chunks of pork, beef, chicken, and various vegetables in the basket. When Hawking said he was going to turn these ingredients into food, they were also quite stunned.
"I think this one piece is enough for the three of us."
Yukio lifted a large piece of beef meant for steak from the basket.
There were only three of them, not three hundred.
"Mainly, with so many ingredients, if we were to cook all of it, it would be until dawn."
Death Woman knew that Hawking had a very large appetite, but even if all three of them cooked together, it would take at least five or six hours to prepare so much food.
Hawking didn't explain; he simply pointed his hand at the basket of ingredients and began to cast cooking magic.
Under the effect of the cooking magic, the ingredients successively flew into the kitchen, then, under the action of various kitchen utensils, they were broken down into pots at a speed difficult to see with the naked eye, quickly transforming into dishes that flew out and were placed on the dining table.
"Alright, you can start eating."
With the food ready, Hawking didn't stand on ceremony. After a greeting, he quickly began to eat.
"Unbelievable!"
Death Woman and Yukio exchanged glances, uttering the same exclamation.
