Chapter 203

"..." The older sister was quite speechless. From some perspectives, this place did indeed resemble the villain's Dark Laboratory.

But... it doesn't have to be this bad, does it?

"And what about you?" the older sister asked. "It seems you don't think that way, right?"

"Of course!" Rosaliya said, "Although Doctor Mei seems cold and ruthless, and the things he creates are strangely bizarre."

"Moreover, she is very difficult to talk to, a lifelong spinster, extremely hard to please, and extremely impersonal."

"The laboratory is also bizarre and strange, like a den of demons, not for normal people at all."

"Although the Doctor doesn't seem like a normal person either, hmm... I knew it!"

"Abnormal people should stay in abnormal places to be normal..."

"Eh? Huh?"

Rosaliya hadn't finished speaking when she found herself being lifted up.

"Rosaliya, aren't you curious why I know your name?" the older sister said, looking at Rosaliya with a forced smile.

"For..." Rosaliya started to say, but then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Then she realized something: Doctor Mei could always transform into different people.

Masaka?!

"Yes! It's that Masaka," the older sister said. "You can call me 'Mamiya' now."

"Of course, if you call me Mei."

"I don't mind either!"

Chapter 233 Dark Cuisine

Since delicious food exists in the world, there must be something else in contrast.

Just like light and darkness, the South Pole and the North Pole.

What is the opposite of delicious food?

It's definitely Dark Cuisine!

They have to make a set of dishes like stir-fried tomatoes with five kinds of nuts, stir-fried bananas with watermelon, stir-fried Doritos, or stir-fried strawberries and cabbage with fish balls.

Rosaliya was well-behaved and sensible, sitting quietly at the table in the cafeteria.

If it weren't for those legs that were shaking more than a sieve, and a girl whose body was emitting an unknown blackish-purple smoke.

Everyone should rub their eyes and take a closer look. How did the ship's notorious husky suddenly become so girly? This is supposed to be a fearless little devil!

It remains puzzling even now.

But no one dared to step forward and ask.

She looks like just a young girl, and her face suggests a kind and approachable person. But the aura she exudes is simply too strong.

They're completely unapproachable!

And Rosaliya ~

"Waaah~" Rosaliya cried, or rather, she was in tears, saying, "Doctor Mei! No, those words really weren't said by Rosaliya. Rosaliya just heard them from someone else! Really! They have nothing to do with Rosaliya."

"Rosaliya would vouch for Liliya's reputation!"

"Rosaliya really wasn't lying."

This time, Rosaliya really wasn't lying. Although she didn't mind talking badly about Mei behind his back, she was, of course, rather, rather careful.

But she really heard these things from others; she didn't say them herself.

She wouldn't dare to make fun of Doctor Mei.

"Oh~" Mamiya certainly believed that Rosaliya hadn't made these words up; at least she wasn't the first person to say that about her. Besides, a child might not understand the malice in those words, but of course, they might also understand them.

Whether they understand or not, children don't mind learning these phrases.

But these words always have a source.

"Is that so?" Mamiya said with a forced smile, "Of course I know, this is not something that lovely Rosaliya would say."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Rosaliya nodded frantically, saying, "Rosaliya is definitely not a bad child, Rosaliya is a good child! A child who listens to the Doctor."

"Rosaliya's admiration for the Doctor is like a never-ending, surging river."

"Alright," Mamiya interrupted Rosaliya, "I don't want to hear these things, but I'd love to hear who's been talking badly about me behind my back."

There's always a source to these bad things. It might not be something Rosaliya made up, but there's always someone who'll say it.

"That big sister with the double cabbage head." Rosaliya betrayed that person without hesitation.

"I hear her say that all the time," Rosaliya added. "And she also often says things like, 'What is Doctor Mei doing? She's turned the lab into a haunted house.' 'Her aesthetic sense is hopeless.' 'That eternally spinster is definitely not right in the head.'"

"Oh..." Mamiya responded with an "oh".

Of course, to some extent this does look like something a cabbage head would do.

"Very good." Mamiya said with satisfaction, "Then this table of dishes..."

"Thank you, Lady MEI." Rosaliya immediately felt relieved, realizing she wouldn't have to eat those strange-looking dishes.

"Eat it all." In the next sentence, Mamiya made Rosaliya fall into an ice hole.

"Eh..." Rosaliya's smile hadn't even faded yet, and this 'adult' had only said one sentence when the situation took such a sharp turn.

The air suddenly felt stiff, and it became difficult to breathe!

"Once you finish eating, you're done with this," Mamiya said with a smile. "Otherwise, one meal a day, with occasional snacks. If you don't behave well, three meals a day plus two small snacks."

Is this... is this... is this a demon?

Whether she was a devil or not, Mamiya didn't care; Rosaliya herself had already compromised.

Rosaliya knows a bit about MEI's personality.

In short, if we can't finish this meal today, then starting tomorrow, we might really only be eating one meal a day.

Whether she experiences pain once or every time, Rosaliya still has a choice in this regard.

You have to bear the consequences of your own actions, even if it's painful.

Who would have thought that Doctor Mei had such a deceptive transformation?

Rosaliya picked up a spoon, scooped up a large spoonful of this Dark Cuisine, and put it in her mouth.

'Um...'

What should Rosaliya say?

Although this thing looks incredibly inhuman and is visually striking, making people instinctively want to keep their distance, it feels like taking a bite would be torture.

But...

Actually...

But after taking that bite, I made an unexpected discovery...

This stuff is surprisingly delicious!

After all, this is Mamiya's specialty, Mamiya's already tried her best to make Dark Cuisine. Yet, the result was surprisingly good.

For example, stir-fried bananas with watermelon is more like stewing than stir-frying.

This thing is closer to another type of food.

Fruit Stew.

This food exists in a certain game where you don't save the princess. If you control the Wilderness Rogue and throw fruit into a pot, you will get a dish called Fruit Stew.

So although it looks like Dark Cuisine.

But it was actually surprisingly delicious.

Fruit Stew has a texture closer to jam, while retaining the unique qualities of the fruit itself. It's also soft, sweet and sour, and delicious and appetizing.

It's very delicious.

As for stir-fried Doritos.

This thing is a snack to begin with, but the result is basically like turning the original flavor into a spicy version of Doritos. And after being stir-fried, it becomes even crispier. It's not only delicious, but also quite fun to eat.

As for the strawberry, cabbage, and fish ball stir-fry...

Actually, it's not bad at all. Without adding any other strange seasonings, the deliciousness of the strawberries is really brought out. And the crispness of the cabbage is also highlighted.

More importantly, this dish can be considered a type of Fruit Stew, and the fish balls in it do add to the overall flavor.

If I had to say what's not good about this, it would probably be the tomato and mixed nuts mooncake.

This five-nut mooncake was already heavily criticized, and even the addition of tomatoes and Mamiya's skillful stir-frying technique might not save it much.

This meal was delicious.

Aside from the tomato and mixed nut mooncake, the rest of the Dark Cuisine.

"Ah... um..." Rosaliya said expectantly, holding the Fruit Stew she had licked clean, "Can I have another one of these two?"

Indeed, the best dish among them is the Fruit Stew.

It tasted much better than any pastry I'd ever had before.

How can we not order another one?

"This..." Now it was Mamiya's turn to have a headache.

This...

Is there something wrong with this girl's sense of taste?

This...

This is Dark Cuisine she painstakingly prepared!

You still want it?

Are you kidding me?

Chapter 234 Ship Girl' Affiliation

"What's the deal with this reincarnation?"

Otto reluctantly put down the picture book of Kallen in his hand and glanced at the woman in the photograph. In some ways, she looked somewhat similar to Rita.

The identity of the woman was not immediately stated.

Otto could still guess it.

These days, the only explanation for this sudden appearance, especially since it was personally delivered by Rita, is that it must be one of Kallen's reincarnations.

"It seems quite different." Otto frowned slightly. While he was undeniably a simp, he was still fairly intelligent.

I noticed the difference in this reincarnation at a glance.

For example, the shoes on your feet, or that huge thing behind you.

"It looks like a boat," Otto said, picking up the photo and examining it closely for a moment. "But anyway, it's my wife."

' Lord Otto, you're really quite ill,' Rita thought to herself. 'Does that mean every woman is your wife?'

Of course, these words couldn't be spoken aloud. Rita knew perfectly well that this was Otto's backup plan, in case the plan to resurrect Kallen completely failed.

The idea that Kallen is my wife's reincarnation can be uploaded now.

In any case, Otto had no objection to the alternative option of "since she is the reincarnation of Kallen, she is my wife".

He even agreed with this plan.

Although this solution came from Siegfried.

'That Li Pu is such a troublesome little devil. I wonder who he'll end up with.' Rita thought to herself for a moment, then quickly returned to the point of the matter and said, 'You're right, those things on her feet do look like wooden clogs that resemble boats.'

"What's carried on your back looks like the superstructure of a ship."
