Welcoming the End: Mist

But speaking of breasts... well, Eden couldn't help but think of Aponia.

What nun? You could say that even her succubus disguised as a nun is more convincing as a nun... That kind of charm that seems to encompass everything is simply against the rules.

Had she not encountered the even more outrageous Aponia, her slight melancholy about Mobius's figure would have lingered for some time.

(The teacher is such a sinful man...) Su muttered to himself, and suddenly felt that he was getting in the way of the other person sitting there—he felt that he was now at least a kilowatt of brightness.

However—she hadn't even seen how Kevin died yet, and no matter how bright the light, Sue would resolutely sit down.

"Chest... Phew... I'm alright..." Sakura patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She still had some understanding of what her husband liked.

"Kevin, what are you waiting for?"

Mei finally finished her business and had time to look up at her junior brother.

Is there a problem with the team? Or is there some personal difficulty?

As soon as Mei spoke, everyone except Kalpas sat up straight instantly.

Why are they just sitting here idly, daydreaming?

To build a relationship with Mei?

Bullshit!

Just to see Kevin's heroic sacrifice!

"No, no, no, that's not it."

Kevin shook his head and handed over the gift box. "I just wanted to give you this gift in person."

"A gift?" Mei was taken aback. "Then I'll have to look forward to it."

As Mei took the gift box, she pondered what kind of return gift she should give to this silly junior brother.

"... Kitchenware?" Mei paused again after seeing the packaging inside.

Hmm... this gift seems a bit odd...

"Senior sister! I hope you can soon cook dishes that will earn the teacher's praise. Here, I've also included a coupon for a set meal from the same brand!"

"... This kid actually optimized the language himself?" Liu Bai sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Einstein, standing nearby, secretly gave Kevin a thumbs up. Good for you, kid!

However, Mei, the person involved, fell into deep thought.

What's going on here?

Mei sensed a strong undertone of sarcasm in Kevin's words.

But looking at her junior brother's usual goofy expression, Mei wasn't sure if her goofy side was on purpose.

A little confused, Mei immediately opened the package, revealing a complete set of kitchen knives, a frying pan, a spatula, and other similar items.

"Brother Su, what do you think Dr. Mei will use to beat up Big Brother? A knife or a pot?" Kosma asked in a very low voice.

Su looked straight ahead, showing no intention of answering whatsoever.

Hey kid, don't be reckless! What if you make a move now and get accused of being an accomplice later?!

Just as Mei feared, her worries came true. Although she didn't hear Kosma's soft mutterings, Kosma little actions successfully drew her attention as she was deep in thought.

These guys...

Mei was taken aback at first, but then immediately realized what was happening.

These guys had expressions of anticipation and enjoyment on their faces!

So, Kevin, that guy...

Mei's fingers slowly traced the back of the knife under the tense (anticipation) gazes of the crowd.

He rubbed the bottom of the pot again.

After a moment's thought, Mei finally looked at Kevin again, then glanced at everyone present and revealed a smile with a hint of murderous intent, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness... Tonight, let's all get together and have dinner. I'll cook."

Let's just end it all. Since I'm cooking anyway, I might as well kill all these bastards who are watching the show while I'm at it.

Mei thought coldly, her expression turning somewhat dark.

"???" The others were immediately filled with question marks.

"Ahem, Mei, I'm not feeling well today, sorry, I probably can't come tonight." Eden coughed twice.

"Yes, yes, I'm not feeling well either." Sakura nodded in agreement. "It just so happens to be those days— Pardo, you are too, right?"

Sakura didn't forget to bring her silly little cat along.

"Huh? Me? I... Oh! Right, I'm not feeling well either!" The sudden alarm made Pardo realize what was happening.

"... Senior sister, to be honest, I'm not feeling well either."

"You also have your period?" Mei sneered.

Let's leave the others aside for now, but Su, do you dare to say you know nothing about this?

"I..." Su hesitated for a moment, then her mind raced. "Kevin just wants you to cook, Senior Sister! Don't fall for this treacherous trick!"

Chapter 396 Welcoming the Final Fog

"Kevin! Traitor! Villain! Scoundrel! Rebel!"

Sue looked at Kevin, who had pressed her into the chair, with a face full of grief and indignation.

"Don't get so worked up." Kevin held Su down with one hand and casually picked at his ear with the other. "It's just a meal, no need to react so strongly."

"What you call eating... cough, I'm not hungry! I don't need to eat!"

Su, who was about to complain that this was not a meal but a poison test, pulled back from the brink.

"If you want to eat it, then eat it yourself!"

"We brothers share both good times and bad." Kevin sat down next to Sue and put his big arm around her.

Although this was his own doing, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that if he messed up, others might not know, but Su would definitely laugh at him.

Rather than letting him laugh at me later, I'd rather just keep this kid in check. Anyway, my senior sister is in such a rage right now, she probably won't mind cooking an extra meal.

"Besides, you're still better than Dr. Einstein, aren't you?"

Kevin pointed to Einstein was tied to a chair on the other side.

As someone who entered the room with Kevin, Mei casually tied him up as well. Einstein Einstein's penchant for having fun, he definitely knew what Kevin was going to do. Or to put it more bluntly, when Mei tried to tie Einstein up, she knew what he was up to as soon as she didn't see her teacher stop her.

Accomplices, they're all accomplices!

If it weren't for the fact that I felt I couldn't wipe them all out at once, Mei would say, "I don't care if you're Eden or Vil-V, you all better come here and face your doom..."

This is for you bunch of bastards who love to watch the drama unfold!

However... well, Mei wasn't completely out of her mind, so she just casually tied up Einstein, who was probably the one stirring up trouble.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm actually quite satisfied with dragging two people down with me, especially since Dr. Einstein had a very satisfying discussion beforehand." Despite being tied up in a rather disheveled manner, Einstein still managed a calm and composed smile.

You can lose anything but your aura.

"Oh, so Einstein, you're currently in a 'If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die happy in the evening' mentality, right?" Kevin nodded, seemingly understanding.

"So this time it's really over." Sue subconsciously started to play the straight man for Kevin.

"... I really didn't know you were such a chatterbox, Sue." Einstein glanced at Sue. Sue had studied with Mobius for so long, so Einstein and Sue were quite familiar with each other.

"So I think the three of you should reflect on yourselves."

Liu Bai emerged from the air.

"I'm innocent!" Su insisted that he really did nothing, at most he was just keeping quiet about something, but there were so many people watching at the time, he wasn't the only one who kept quiet!

"Reflect? But I've already achieved my goal!"

"It's not bad to have two people suffer with me."

Kevin and Einstein showed absolutely no remorse.

If it's Su...

Liu Bai looked at Su and fell into deep thought.

"Teacher, help! I'm innocent!"

"Dinner is ready!" Just as Liu Bai was hesitating about how to plead for Su, the clattering sounds from the kitchen finally stopped.

Mei, with a bright and cheerful smile that the three people present had never seen before, brought out a pot and placed it on the table with a bang.

"... This guy's smile is really full of murderous intent."

Kevin looked at Mei's sunny and cheerful smile and fell silent.

Yes, my intuition finally gave me a warning about that pot.

"Kevin, this was specially made for you by your senior sister. If you can't finish this pot, don't blame me for being impolite. And Einstein, I wonder if the dark chocolate-colored dish I made this time has whetted your appetite?" Mei spoke with the most sunny and cheerful smile and tone, but her words were full of murderous intent.

"... Actually, it was Su who wanted to eat it!"

There's no need to eat anymore. Looking at that pot, my intuition gave me a warning of danger, which said it all.

This is very bad, extremely bad!

"... Mei, you're not going to make some culinary disasters this time, are you?"

After a brief silence, the bound Einstein began to struggle violently.

She's seen Mei cook before, but Mei has definitely never made anything like this before!

That guy's cooking this time is definitely aimed at being awful! It'll be at least several times more terrifying than before!

The kind of food used to be so bad it could make people lose consciousness, but this kind of food, which is completely on the verge of being unpalatable and is at least several times more terrifying... it's practically murder!

When faced with the question about Einstein, Mei clasped her hands together and gave a playful and cute smile, "Guess~~?"

"Don't try to fool me with Elysia's tone!"

Einstein struggled violently while refuting the argument, but his individual strength was too weak to break free. In addition, his short stature made the option of running away with the chair out of the question impossible.

"Since you already know, why did you ask?" Mei, who had just been showing a playful and cute expression, suddenly turned into a terrified one. However, the next moment, she changed her expression again and became cute. "Well~~? Don't worry about the details~ I'll go get you two some bowls and chopsticks."

Two?

Su was stunned for a moment, and finally noticed the loophole in Mei's words—her senior sister didn't seem to have mentioned her since earlier?

Oh wow...

Sue grabbed Kevin, who was trying to leave, and pulled him back.

"Kevin, our senior sister has gone to the trouble of cooking for us once in a while, and you're just going to leave like this? Isn't that a bit impolite?"

You bastard, now you know how to run away?

Dream on!

Sue remained calm, settling leisurely into a chair, one hand supporting her chin, the other holding Kevin's hand. "If Lao Tzu get away today, I'll abandon medicine and pursue literature!"

"...Su, don't force me." Kevin's tone turned serious as he watched Su grab his hand. "I don't want to be your enemy."

"Don't try to fool me with that 'betrayed protagonist' tone from a patriotic drama." Su sneered. You little bastard, I know what you're going to say the moment you lift your leg. Trying to pull this stunt on me?

"You asked for this yourself. Take my advice: a short pain is worse than a long one. If you run away today, it will be even more deadly later."

"Is it possible that things are already deadly? It can't get any worse than this."

Looking at the large pot with the lid still on, Kevin had already given up on trying it.

"Besides, all I asked was to see my senior sister's cooking skills, not to try them!"

Kevin shook off Sue and ran away.

However, as soon as he lifted his leg, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"I told you, you're not getting away today." Sue, who was holding onto Kevin's legs, sneered.

"Su! You bastard!"

"You talk as if you're not a piece of trash, Kevin!"
