Two years is a long time for a human and Shirou could work on it in the house, while enjoying his time in school, if anything that was a logic his mother would approve of. There was that small part of him that knew if his mother discovered he was working like mad and not resting properly she would throw a fit.
It was not the first time such a thing happened, he became divided on what he wanted to do for others and what his family wanted him to do for himself. The most healthy choice would be to spare some time for normal activities if only to relax. His sister insisted on that, his mother loved to go around with the whole family when she was around and even his father got caught in her hurricane. But now he only had Liz and she would say something on the lines of 'do what you think is best' and just leave it to him.
"So you owe Shirou a date?" Akeno had a teasing air around her but Setsuna didn't care or didn't notice.
"It was the deal that I made at the beginning. By the conditions that I established' the one who beat me gets a date' and that one was Shirou, even though he says I won, I disagree."
"But what if a girl had won?" Akeno was trying to fish for something.
"Then I would go on a date with her." Unfortunately for Akeno, Setsuna had nothing that she could tease, Rias was enjoying her Queen's attempts but decided to ask a question of her own.
"Is that why you are here? To set up a date with Shirou?"
"It is only fair… but a part of me wants a rematch more. With both of us using our real skills." Setsuna was determined to have a real spar with Shirou and that reminded Rias of two things.
The first is that she never saw him fighting for real and the second was that she needed to get him to spar with Kiba one of these days. It will be easier if she could get him- "I will join the club." Her fellow redhead finally says interrupting her thoughts, not that she minded.
"Excellent Shirou!" Rias almost jumped with joy. "We are going to get a forge ready around here, hidden of course, but that won't take long, meanwhile you can use one of the rooms around here as a lab, don't worry, we have plenty- Ah! There is only one place you can't enter but there is a boundary field and lots of warnings there, don't worry about it."
A growl was heard and everyone turned to Setsuna, her face was like stone but everyone could tell the sound came from her stomach. "I believe I shall return to the school grounds. It is lunch time and I am hungry."
It was impressive for all present how she could say it with a straight face, unperturbed by the noise of her stomach. "You don't need to leave Setsuna. We can eat lunch here." The devils left the room for a few minutes and came back with different kinds of foods and drinks. "We always eat here, we have a fully stocked kitchen and we keep the place well maintained."
'Fully stocked kitchen!' Shirou now felt he made the right decision, he didn't need a culinary club, he would have his own kitchen here. "Can I use it?" The excitement was unmistakable on his voice.
"Another day maybe." Akeno smiled while putting some dishes on the table. "Today was my day to cook and I hope we all can enjoy it."
"Akeno is good with japanese dishes," Rias distributes the plates with Kiba leaving Shirou and Setsuna to move and organize the cups of tea, "Kiba here can make some nice british meals."
"And what about you?" The younger raven haired woman asked, already getting her plate ready.
"Oh, I love japanese food too but also dabble in some italian."
Shirou remembered something, so after getting his bag he pulled out one of the bentos he prepared in the morning and decided to place it on the table as well. "It's not much but I hope you guys can taste some food I made today."
"Ara, ara. If you don't mind Emiya-kun." The vice-president of the club says while her and the rest take some bites of the meat and vegetables in it.
While Shirou started eating Akeno's food, the rest of the room was stunned. 'This is way too good!' Rias thinks of enjoying all the mixtures of spices with the food.
'This is delicious!.' Setsuna can't help herself and moves fast enough to get another mouthful.
'This flavor!' Akeno felt herself in a cloud placing a hand on her mouth while her face got red.
'The best thing I ever ate in my life!' Kiba was almost crying from joy.
'Hum~ Himejima-san is a great cook.' Shirou complimented on his mind while trying the rest of the food while the person he was complementing and the rest of the group devoured his bento.
It was fast and it was silent, none wanting to talk or miss the chance of eating if another would eat it. All of them were enjoying the food until the bento was finished. Once they realized it was done they all turned to Shirou, who was enjoying the rest of the food peacefully.
"Yes, you are undoubtedly using the kitchen." Rias decided and everyone except Shirou was nodding in affirmation, even Setsuna was on it.
"Cool." Shirou notices that the bento was empty. "You guys liked it that much, hum?"
"How did you get so good at cooking?" Akeno remembered Iri bragging about her son's skill but the woman hadn't gone in depth about it. "This was the best stuff I ate in my life." Followed by another set of nods.
"I have eaten food from some of the best chefs," Setsuna was admiring the now empty bento box, "yet none of them had ever gotten so close to this." She then looks at RIas. "Can I join? Until I find a club of my own… I still may visit for parties or lunch."
