Half a year later, at Yafu Shrine.
“Sizzle…”
Shen Yun was wearing an apron and busy in front of the stove. The fried eggs in the pan were sizzling and emitting a faint aroma.
Half a year has passed since the annihilation of the Thousand Ghosts.
Half a year ago, the Fangrangers had gone their separate ways and returned to their peaceful lives.
Ogami Tsukima rides a motorcycle and travels around Japan with Fuutarou.
Washio Takeshi re-enlisted as a trainee.
Since Washio Takeshi was a reserve pilot and there was no record of him crashing and disappearing as in the original work, and with Shen Yun's secret support, he became a pilot of the Self-Defense Forces again in just half a year.
Shizizou declined Shen Yun's offer to help him set up an animal hospital, claiming that he still had a lot to learn, and returned to Sakuraba Animal Hospital to continue working as a veterinarian.
However, Samezu Kai and Uta Sotaro did not hesitate to accept Shen Yun's kindness. They jointly opened a sumo hot pot restaurant on Sumo Street in Sumida District, Tokyo, and their business was booming.
Niu Tatsu Sotaro's sweetheart, the flower shop owner named Shiori, also took out her savings after hearing that the two of them were going to open a sumo hot pot restaurant together, intending to support Niu Tatsu Sotaro's business.
Now, Miss Shiori has become the owner of a hot pot restaurant.
As for the youngest Ohkawa Sae, she returned to the martial arts school in Tokyo to continue her classes. Today is her graduation day.
We have all agreed to take advantage of Ohkawa Sae's graduation to have a good get-together.
Shen Yun scooped up the fried egg from the pan and placed it on the toast on the plate.
Under the fried eggs are beef, lettuce, sausage slices, pickles, pork tenderloin, tomato slices and other fillings, which is very rich.
"It's done." Shen Yun took off her apron, picked up a piece of toast to cover the filling, and then cut it in half with a diagonal knife.
A simple sandwich breakfast is ready.
Shen Yun left the kitchen with the plate and placed the sandwich on the dining table, where there was also a cup of freshly heated milk and a bowl of cut fruit salad.
Although this breakfast is simple in style, it is nutritious.
"Didom, it's time to get up." Shen Yun walked into the room, looked at Didom who was still lying in bed, patted her buttocks gently, and urged her.
"Well~ let me sleep a little longer." Tidom arched his back on the bed and said.
"Today is Saeko's graduation day, and we have to pick up other people. If we don't get up now, we will be late." Shen Yun said with a smile.
"It's all your fault. You stayed up so late yesterday." Tidom opened his eyes, stepped on Shen Yun's face, and groaned.
"Who made Miss Witch so attractive?" Shen Yun grabbed Tidom's ankle and threw himself onto the bed to play with him.
After playing around for a while, Tidom pushed Shen Yun off the bed and said coquettishly, "Get out quickly. I need to change my clothes."
“It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”
"Say that again! I'm really going to get angry!" A hint of shame and anger appeared on Tidom's face.
"Okay, okay, I'll go out right now." Shen Yun raised his hands in surrender and left the room.
Soon, Tidom changed into a youthful and beautiful casual outfit, walked out of the room, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, Tidom also came to the dining table and sat down to enjoy the loving breakfast prepared by Shen Yun.
Shen Yun did not accompany them, but was busy in the kitchen.
He had already had breakfast and was now preparing food for his picnic on Sky Island.
Looking at Shen Yun's busy back, Tidom swung his legs and a happy smile appeared on his pretty face.
It’s great to meet Mr. Shen.
Tidom quickly finished his breakfast, stood up and walked into the kitchen, saying with a smile, "Mr. Shen, I'll help too~"
With Tidom's help, the two of them quickly finished cooking.
“Ding ding ding~”
At this moment, Shen Yun's cell phone suddenly rang.
Shen Yun took out his cell phone and looked at the incoming call information. It was a call from the great god Yue Mo.
After answering the phone, Shen Yun chatted with the great god Yue Mo for a few words before hanging up. He then turned to look at Didom beside him and said with a smile: "Didom, Yue Mo and Fuutarou will be here soon. Do you want to go with me to greet them?"
"Okay, let's go together." Tidom agreed happily.
The two took the cable car to the foot of the mountain.
Before long, the roar of a motorcycle engine came from afar and a motorcycle stopped in front of the two.
"Doctor, Tidom." Ogami Tsukima took off his helmet, picked up Fuutarou and greeted him with a smile.
"Fuutarou!" Tidom hugged Fuutarou happily.
"Tidom, long time no see. It seems that he takes good care of you. That makes me feel relieved." Fuutarou looked at the radiant Tidom and nodded with satisfaction.
Tidom is not only his witch, but also Zi's descendant. He is also Tidom's maternal family member. If Tidom is not living well, he will definitely settle the score with Shen Yun.
“…”Shen Yun.
Where are you from, my father-in-law?
Shen Yun smiled helplessly, took the luggage from the Great God Yue Mo, and asked, "Long time no see, did your trip go well?"
"Thanks to you, the trip went smoothly and we saw a lot of beautiful scenery." The great god Yue Mo said with a smile.
"That's good."
The few of them chatted and laughed as they took the cable car back to the shrine. After picking up their lunch boxes, they boarded the Kameiwa and headed for Tokyo.
Most of them live in Tokyo, which makes it convenient for them to reunite.
Sumida Ward, Tokyo.
In a thriving sumo hot pot restaurant, Samezu Kai, wearing a headscarf, held a large bowl full of ingredients and placed it in front of the customer, smiling and saying:
"Please enjoy your meal~"
At this time, the wind chimes at the door rang.
Samezumi quickly looked up at the gate and said, "Welcome... Ah! Doctor, Tidom, Okami, Fuutarou!"
Seeing the people coming in, Samezumi's face was full of surprise.
"Business is booming, you two brothers." Shen Yun glanced at the hot pot restaurant which was crowded with customers and said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is all thanks to the doctor." Samezumi greeted everyone with a smile, saying, "Doctor, please come in and sit down. I'll go call Kusatarou."
After saying that, Samezumi hurried to the kitchen and shouted, "Koutarou, the doctor and the others are here!"
"Oh? Really?" Niuda Sotaro also put down the kitchen knife and ran out following Samezumi with a look of surprise.
Seeing Shen Yun and others, Niu Da Sotaro was also surprised, and came up to give Shen Yun and Ogami Yuema a hug.
"It's been a long time."
"Yeah, it's been two or three months now." Shen Yun nodded with a smile and said, "You guys should pack up quickly, we still have to pick up the doctor and others later."
"OK." Samezumi smiled and took off her headscarf and apron.
"I'll go tell Shiori." Niuda Sotaro smiled innocently, turned around and ran to Shiori.
"Koutarou-kun, don't worry about going to the party. I'm here in the store. By the way, don't forget to bring some ingredients and hot pot." Shiori reminded.
"Okay~"
They didn't have to wait too long before Samezumi and Utatsu Sotaro arrived, carrying a lot of prepared ingredients and hot pot, and said with a smile:
"Sorry for the long wait, let's go."
"Let's go."
On the other side, Sakuraba Animal Hospital.
After Lion put an Elizabethan collar on a Chihuahua, he handed it to the Chihuahua's owner and said with a smile:
"It's fine now. Just be careful not to let the wound get wet and change the dressing in time."
"Thank you very much." The Chihuahua's owner took the Chihuahua and thanked him repeatedly.
"Who's next?"
"Let's go, doctor." Sakurai came over carrying the birdcage and said, "I'm a regular customer."
Seeing the cockatiel in the cage, the lion leaned over to look at it and teased, "It's you again! Your owner is so bad. He forgot to feed you again. What a pity, you lonely little vulture."
"Hey, I told you not to say such disgusting things." Washio Takeshi walked into the hospital and urged.
"Hurry up and change your clothes, Saeko's graduation exam is about to begin."
"I understand. I'll trouble the dean to take care of the little eagle." The lion said as he took off his clothes.
"I'll explain this to the dean. Doctor, you can go to the party without worry." Miss Sakurai said with a smile.
Shizi put on a black jacket and followed Washio Yue out of the veterinary hospital, then saw Shen Yun and others coming towards him.
"Doctor, Tidom!" When the lion saw the people coming, his eyes lit up and he waved and shouted with a smile on his face.
"Let's go, doctor, Yue!" Samezumi rushed forward, grabbed the shoulders of the two men and said with a smile.
"Ahai, how is your hot pot restaurant business?" Washio Takeshi asked with a smile, bumping his fists.
"Business is pretty good. It will definitely become bigger and stronger in the future." Samezumi said with a smile.
"Okay, let's catch up on the way. Saeko has called to urge us." Shen Yun showed the incoming call message on his phone and said.
"oh!"
Tokyo Martial Arts School.
Ohkawa Sae was wearing a white training suit and holding a pink smartphone in her hand. She stood at the school gate, looking back and forth at the street, feeling a little anxious.
The school's graduation exam is about to begin. Why haven't they arrived yet? Are they going to be late?
Really!
Ohkawa Sae stamped his feet anxiously.
"Saeko, you go in first. I'll wait for your friends here." Ohgawa Toranosuke said.
"Okay." Ohkawa Sae hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Zezi!"
Just as Ohkawa Sae was about to return to school to take the graduation exam, the voices of Shishizou and others came from afar.
Ohkawa Sae turned around in surprise, only to see Shishizou and the others waving at her with their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Everyone!" Ohkawa Sae ran up quickly and hugged Tidom affectionately.
"Saeko!" Tidom also had a happy face as he was close to Ohkawa Sae.
"Are we not late?" Shen Yun asked.
"No, it's just right." Ohkawa Sae shook his head and chuckled.
"Okay, go get ready, we will cheer you on." Shen Yun touched Ohkawa Sae's little head and said with a smile.
"Keep doing it," Tidom encouraged.
"Yes!" Ohkawa Sae smiled, waved goodbye to everyone, turned around and ran into the school.
"It's Saeko's blessing to have friends like you." Ohkawa Toranosuke looked at everyone and said with emotion.
"Uncle, you are too kind."
"Let's go in too." Ohkawa Toranosuke said with a smile.
The group entered the martial arts school, sat in the audience seats, and watched Ohkawa Sae's graduation exam.
Although Ohkawa Sae took a year and a half off from school, she did not stop practicing.
After all, Ohkawa Sae is a warrior who has experienced many life-and-death battles, and his combat experience is far beyond that of the students in the school.
Although Ohkawa Sae is petite, she can easily defeat students who are taller than her thanks to her rich combat experience.
Everyone sitting in the audience watched Ohgawa Sae overcome all obstacles and win the championship, and they all applauded and cheered for Ohgawa Sae.
"Takao-san!" Ohkawa Sae looked at Ohkawa Toranosuke who was giving her the graduation certificate and bowed slightly.
"You've trained well this year, the gorgeous white tiger." Ohgawa Toranosuke handed the graduation certificate to Ohgawa Sae, his face full of satisfaction.
"Dosan, that name is in the past." Ohkawa Sae lowered her head shyly when she heard that, but she quickly got over her shyness and looked up at Ohkawa Toranosuke and said, "My name is Ohkawa Sae, and I'm Ohkawa Toranosuke's daughter."
"Saeko, you've really grown up." Ohgawa Toranosuke touched Ohgawa Sae's head, feeling melancholy.
Before I knew it, the little guy who always stuck to me had grown up.
"Saeko!" Everyone stood at the entrance of the venue and greeted Ohkawa Saeko.
"Go, don't keep your friends waiting." Ohgawa Toranosuke patted Ohgawa Sae's shoulder and said.
"Yes!" Ohkawa Sae nodded, turned around and ran towards everyone.
The group left the venue, and after Ohkawa Sae changed out of her training clothes and put on a pink jacket, they chatted and laughed with everyone and headed to Kame Rock.
…
Sky Island.
After arriving at Sky Island, everyone dispersed and reunited with their respective Power Beasts to communicate.
Shen Yun accompanied Tidom and spread out the carpet and food boxes on the grass near the lake, and cooked the hot pot brought by Samezumi and Uda Sotaro.
Soon, after reminiscing with the mighty beasts, everyone returned to the camp, laughing and joking, and enjoyed the food without any hesitation.
"Well, Tidom's food is something you can never get tired of no matter how much you eat it." Lion said with a satisfied look on his face.
"Yeah, without Tidom's cooking, I can't enjoy my meals anymore." Washio Takeshi agreed after taking a bite of the croquette.
"Yeah, me too!" Ohkawa Sae nodded repeatedly.
"Hey, it's not that good~"
"Does anyone want some coffee?" asked Da Shenyue as he ground and brewed handmade coffee.
"Give me a drink!"
"I want one too!"
After eating and drinking, Shen Yun took out some fishing gear and asked with a smile, "How about a fishing competition? We'll eat the fish we caught tonight."
Although Sky Island is at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it is spring here all year round and there are still fish in the lake.
"Oh! Motivation is coming!" The lion picked up a set of fishing gear, ran to the lake, and started casting his rod.
"Doctor Zou is still the same as always, full of passion." Niuda Sotaro said with a smile.
"I won't join in. I should take a nap at this time." Washio Take yawned and ran to the shade of a tree to take a nap.
Although there were fewer people, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the men at all. They all ran to the lake and started fishing.
Ohkawa Sae and Tidom sat on a blanket, drinking tea and having a tea party.
"Saeko should like Mr. Shen." Tidom said suddenly.
Ohkawa Sae almost spit out her tea when she heard that. She asked with a guilty conscience, "Why did Tidom say that?"
"Because you can't hide the love you show for someone in your eyes," Tidom said.
“Hmm…”
"Saeko, do you want to join?"
"Eh?! Join in?"
"Well, Mr. Shen is too strong, and I can't handle it alone..." Tidom leaned over and whispered in Ohkawa Sae's ear.
Ohkawa Sae's face turned redder and redder, and she whispered, "Is this true?"
Tidom nodded.
"But will the Doctor accept it?"
"Hehe, leave this matter to me."
By the lake.
"A-choo!" Shen Yun, who was fishing, suddenly felt a chill on his back and couldn't help sneezing.
"Doctor, you scared all the fish away." Samezumi cried sadly as he looked at the scattered school of fish.
"Sorry, sorry."
"Doctor, you are not catching a cold, are you?" asked the lion.
"How is that possible? How could I catch a cold with my constitution? Someone must be talking about me behind my back." Shen Yun said.
"Who is it? Never mind, just keep fishing."
