Bronya: Definitely Someone You Can Count On!

Even during the five minutes Chen Luo was out, the number of beef balls that Yuyuko secretly put in was exactly the same.

Ten minutes later, Yakumo Yukari's "Judgment Time" was successfully cooked.

Yuyuko, who was enjoying her Judgment Time very much, subconsciously took a step back when she saw the Judgment Time that Yakumo Yukari had made, which was exactly the same as the Judgment Time that Chen Luo had placed next to her.

"Don't be afraid, Yuyuko. You should have seen it too. Our cooking methods are exactly the same." Looking at the Judgment Time she had made, Yakumo Yukari subtly looked away and comforted Yuyuko.

"That's true... but... I don't really want to eat it." Yuyuko used words that were as tactful as possible without hurting her best friend's feelings to defend herself.

"Come on, just have a bite." Yakumo Yukari pushed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Yuyuko and said.

"Just... just one bite," Yuyuko said, holding up one finger.

"Just one bite, just to taste it." Yakumo Yukari nodded.

"Hmm." Yuyuko took a deep breath, then picked up something she couldn't tell what it was and put it in her mouth.

Yuyuko believed in Yakumo Yukari, that she would definitely be able to...

"Thump!"

Yuyuko's entire face was buried in the bowl.

"Yuyuko!!!"

"Can you give me an explanation? I followed all the steps you said exactly, and every single one of them was exactly the same, so why is the result completely opposite?" Yakumo Yukari asked coldly.

When Yakumo Yukari saw Yuyuko carefully eating the Judgment Time made by Chen Luo, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Previously, Judgment Time Yuyuko ate the Judgment, she enjoyed it immensely. However, ever since she ate the Judgment Time made by Yakumo Yukari, every time Yuyuko picked up an unknown object from her bowl, she felt a sense of unease, as if "some treacherous subject is trying to harm me."

She was afraid that if she accidentally ate Judgment Time made by Yakumo Yukari, or even a single bite might have gotten into it.

"This... perhaps it's because you, Yakumo Yukari, lack a certain love for cooking?" Chen Luo said after pondering for a moment.

"A love for cooking? What is that?" Yakumo Yukari asked, frowning.

Yakumo Yukari suspected that Chen Luo was lying to her.

"If you don't love it, please don't hurt it, thank you. You don't understand, but don't question the existence of this kind of thing either. It's like how ordinary people can't understand how demonic power works, but you demons use it as easily as if it were second nature. This kind of thing is inexplicable. Why don't you try it again?" Chen Luo asked.

"No! I'd rather die than eat the Judgment Time made of purple again in this lifetime! In this lifetime!"

Before Yakumo Yukari could speak, Yakumo Yukari, who was Yuyuko next to her, protested.

"Sigh... Forget it, I won't study anymore." Yakumo Yukari sighed helplessly.

Yakumo Yukari suspected that Chen Luo was still holding back something, but he had indeed been teaching her seriously.

But I really can't learn it.

[Ding! Mission complete]

Upon hearing this sound, Chen Luo knew that the matter was over.

Sigh, Yakumo Yukari, do you really think that four-star recipes are so easy to learn?

What does a four-star recipe mean?

That means this recipe is equivalent to a Divine Key.

If it were that easy to learn, it wouldn't live up to its four-star reputation.

After all, this recipe was promoted to 4 stars simply because of its slightly unpalatable taste.

Oh, and of course, there's one more crucial thing: Judgment Time, although no special materials are needed, only those with a cooking skill level of Master or even Grandmaster can create it.

Moreover, even if one's culinary skills reach the level of master or grandmaster, it still requires thousands of practice sessions to master them if one has never used a recipe.

However... if you make Yuyuko eat the Judgment Time thousands of times until it's just unpalatable, Yuyuko might fight you to the death.

Simply put, it is extremely difficult to make and has a very low margin for error.

Chapter 139 Bronya, you can get along with her!

"Chen Luo, look what you've done!" Theresa angrily placed a document on the bar counter and glared at Chen Luo.

"Isn't this a family letter? What are you showing me? Are you planning to make me marry into your family?" This document was not an ordinary document, but a letter.

"I'll marry into your family, my foot! Can't you take a closer look? My grandfather already knows I know you, and he's asking me what's going on with you. How am I supposed to answer that?" Theresa said after taking a big gulp of bitter melon juice.

"It's quite normal, or rather, it's already quite generous of me that Durandal took so long to report this to Otto. Speaking of which, why hasn't Durandal come to the bar? Has she forgotten about this?" Chen Luo muttered.

"As for how to answer... just answer the truth, after all, everyone is a guest. But if possible, could you notify Otto a few days later?"

Durandal, please come quickly, I can help you find your parents.

The requirements aren't high; you just need to get a three-star commission.

If all else fails, two stars will do.

Considering our relationship, one star is fine too.

Well, well... even a little bit is acceptable, but at least give me something, right?

It can't be less than a lollipop, right?

"It's possible, but is that the point? And what do you want Durandal to do here? Are you trying to fleece her?" Theresa looked at Chen Luo warily.

Although Theresa and Durandal's relationship wasn't overly close, they were still comrades-in-arms.

"Look at what you're saying. Let me ask you, did I make you suffer a loss by using you to complete quests?" Chen Luo asked, arms crossed.

"Uh, I didn't lose out," Theresa said after thinking for a while.

After all, Chen Luo really provided him with good food and drink, and even helped him find a niece.

"Maybe Alo knows what kind of request Durandal might have? Didn't Alo spend some time with Durandal? Maybe he figured something out." Raiden Mei unconsciously started speaking up for Chen Luo.

"Mei is the smartest. Durandal's secrets are no less significant than the secrets you all have," Chen Luo said, pointing to Theresa, Himeko, Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Kiana one by one.

"Wait, I understand that Mei has a secret, but what secret do I have?" Kiana asked, puzzled.

"Kiana, don't underestimate yourself. Your secret is no less significant than Mei's. By the way, your long hair looks beautiful."

Kiana didn't have her hair braided today, which is unusual, since she had just washed it.

"Really? Hehe, it's not that pretty..." Kiana said somewhat shyly.

"Wait a minute, Kiana, don't get too carried away with your self-admiration. Chen Luo, you need to explain yourself clearly. What secrets does Kiana have?" In the end, it was Kiana's aunt Theresa who remained rational.

Anyway, it wasn't Theresa was being praised, so Theresa wasn't happy about it.

"Well... it's a secret for now, it's not the right time to talk about it yet." Chen Luo shook his head.

Kiana's secret is truly enormous, and since Chen Luo has said that Kiana has a secret, it naturally means that Chen Luo intends to take action to resolve this matter.

The conflict between Kiana's two personalities, Kiana and her Queen consciousness, is indeed a complex and difficult issue to explain.

I wouldn't say I was heartbroken, but I was definitely conflicted.

In short, I feel a bit uneasy.

But for the two of them, it seemed like fate, almost inevitable.

Kiana and Sirin are actually the same person, somewhat like Herrscher consciousness, but their situation is not quite the same as Raiden Mei's Herrscher consciousness.

The fact that Chen Luo spoke at this moment meant that he already had half a solution.

The Queen's consciousness remained deep within Kiana's consciousness, occasionally emerging to cause trouble, and indeed posed a very high potential danger.

Although Kiana did grow after those events, it Herrscher of the Heart, and the price she paid was quite high.

Kiana and Chen Luo are also friends and have fought side by side. Although she may not have Primogem, Chen Luo will still help her in this way.

Of course, it would be even better if a new quest appeared along the way.

It's like even if Venti didn't give him a request, Chen Luo would still be willing to help him beat up Stormterror once.

It was just something I could do; I'll help if I can.

Of course, this only applies to Stormterror into the War Domain.

"Alo, I'll have an ice cream," Kiana called out.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Okay.

And look, given Kiana's personality, getting 20 Primogem every day is no problem at all; she'll only get more, not less.

If you persist for 15 days, you'll get 300 Primogem, right?

If you persist for a month, this will yield 600 Primogem.

Therefore, someone who always prioritizes quests and Primogem is definitely not a qualified Traveler.

Why does the world have to be so dark and cruel? Wouldn't it be better if it were more ordinary?

"Kiana, you're eating ice cream again. You've already had two servings today. You can't have any more."

"Oh, Auntie, I only ate two servings." Kiana looked at Theresa with a slightly aggrieved expression.

"Theresa, you've already had two cups of bitter melon juice today, you can't drink any more," Chen Luo said coldly.

"Sigh, I only had two drinks." Theresa looked at Chen Luo with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"I was just kidding."

"Yay! Another one, please!"

"Sigh..." Raiden Mei couldn't help but facepalm.

"By the way, Bronya, how have you been doing at the St. Freya Academy these past few days?" Chen Luo asked Bronya in a tone of a parent looking at a child.

Anyway, it won't be long before Cocolia becomes his doll, so naturally Chen Luo will be of the same generation as Cocolia, or even a generation older, so there's absolutely no problem with using this tone.

"What did you just call me?" Bronya's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Bronya?" Chen Luo Qi asked curiously.

"..." Bronya looked at Chen Luo scrutinizingly, but couldn't sense anything wrong with him.

The other person was just speaking a little fast, but...

"Very good, thank you for your concern." Bronya downed her glass of vodka.

"So... do you think Theresa, Himeko, Kiana, Mei are good to you?" Chen Luo asked with a smile.

"If Kiana is removed, everything is fine," Bronya said after a moment's hesitation.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by removing me? Haven't I been good to you?" Kiana became dissatisfied.

"So, do you like your current life?" Chen Luo and Bronya both tacitly ignored Kiana.

"I like it. But it would be even better if Seele were there, so when are you going to finish your mission?" Bronya asked.

"Uh, don't be so hasty. That's not the point right now. The point is, Cocolia wants to ruin your life right now?" Chen Luo whispered the last sentence into Bronya's ear, so no one else could hear it.

Bronya's pupils dilated slightly.

"No..."

"Don't say it's impossible, you know it's very possible." Before Bronya could finish speaking, Chen Luo interrupted her.

"..." Bronya didn't speak, because she knew Chen Luo was telling the truth.

Bronya knows Cocolia all too well.

During this time of living in the same house with everyone, Bronya felt a long-lost sense of warmth.

Himeko Murata lazy yet exceptionally responsible.

Raiden Mei gentle, considerate, and caring towards herself.

Kiana is earnest yet silly, but she brings joy.

Theresa, the mascot.

If Seele could come to my side, that would be a truly perfect life.
