Meat Has More Chew When You Put on Weight

Kino had already discovered that Wanda's abilities had awakened, though it seems she herself was unaware of it.

But Pietro's reaction was quite intriguing; it was clear he knew this.

Kino picked Pietro up and placed him on the table, asking, "..."

"Can you tell me? I have no ill intentions towards you, and may even be doing you a favor."

Pietro remained silent for a moment, knowing that the Demon King had no reason to deceive him, and then slowly spoke.

When Wanda was little, her family was very happy, until a missile fell into their house and exploded. But it was at that moment that a red power appeared in Wanda's body, protecting Wanda and him.

(In Wanda's recollection, the entire house was blown to pieces, yet the two children barely had any dust on them, which is illogical.)

But his parents still disappeared in the explosion. He and Wanda hid under the bed, and another missile fell down. They spent two long days watching the missile that could explode at any moment.

After that, Wanda seemed to forget the red power within her, remembering only the missile that never exploded.

Kino blinked. His parents had disappeared—it felt so familiar.

Pietro was still lost in his memories.

On the other side, in the bathroom.

"Wanda, come here."

Pamela, wrapped in a bath towel, smiled gently and waved softly to Wanda, who stood timidly to the side.

"Um, Lady Pamela, I can do it myself." Wanda lowered her head, her hands nervously twisting in front of her, avoiding Pamela's gaze.

"The sand and dirt in your hair are too much for one person to clean off, and I remember some insect eggs hatch in sand; if they ended up on your head..."

Pamela paused deliberately, not finishing her sentence.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wanda, who had been cowering, suddenly shuddered and then ran over to Pamela, obediently sitting down.

The thought of worms possibly growing on her head made her scalp tingle and her whole body feel uneasy.

Seeing this, Pamela chuckled and shook her head, then picked up the showerhead and carefully adjusted the water temperature.

Wanda felt the gentle, feather-like touch on her hair, and her tense body gradually relaxed.

"Thank you, Lady Pamela."

Wanda spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Don't call me 'sir,' call me 'sister.'"

Pamela's tone carried an undeniable gentleness.

"... Sister Pamela."

Wanda hesitated for a moment, then called out softly.

"Yes, I'm here."

Pamela replied.

A simple "I'm here" seemed to possess a magical power, reaching deep into Wanda's heart.

Wanda's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Tears mingled with the warm water from the showerhead, streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto her knees.

Wanda bit her lower lip, trying to suppress her sobs, but her trembling shoulders betrayed her inner turmoil.

Pamela put down the showerhead and asked with concern, "What happened? Did you get some in your eyes?"

"No, no, can I hug you, Sister Pamela?"

Wanda said, sobbing.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wanda's face was enveloped in warmth, surrounded by a faint floral fragrance.

"Cry, it'll make you feel better."

Pamela gently stroked the little head in her arms, a subtle smile playing on her lips.

The soothing fragrance, combined with a calming and stress-relieving atmosphere and a few helpful tips, was enough to make Wanda lower her guard.

Wanda had told Kino about her identity that morning before he left, and now was the best time to gain her loyalty.

Although Kino didn't care, Pamela wanted to do what she could.

"Waaaaah, Mommy, Mommy..."

Wanda knew nothing of this; she only felt that she had found a mother figure in Pamela.

Having lived with Pete since childhood, she had many worries she wanted to share, but Pete was also very tired, so she could only keep them to herself, and her personality became more and more introverted.

At this moment, in Pamela's warm embrace, the lock that had been tightly locked in her heart quietly opened.

Wanda could no longer contain her emotions and burst into tears, which flowed freely like a flood.

Pamela's lips twitched. Was the pressure too much? She didn't want a child that big.

After a while.

They say women are made of water, but you're made of tears, aren't you?

A third person's voice came from the bathroom.

Wanda lifted her head from Pamela's embrace and was stunned by a stunningly beautiful face.

"So beautiful..."

Unlike Sister Pamela's elegant and gentle demeanor, the person before her possessed a completely seductive and alluring quality.

"You're so good with words, Pamela. Your maternal aura is getting stronger and stronger."

Venom smiled slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Sister Venom is joking."

Pamela didn't believe Venom hadn't discovered her little tricks.

"Hello, I'm Wanda..."

Wanda introduced herself briefly, her voice still slightly choked with emotion.

"I am Venom, you can also call me Sister Venom."

"Pete, what's wrong?"

Pietro snapped out of his daze and looked at Wanda, who was dressed up beautifully and had a smile on her face that he hadn't seen in a long time. The last time he saw Wanda smile was when her parents were both around.

"Pete?"

Wanda tilts her head.

"Looks like your brother's completely smitten with you, little beauty."

"Sister Venom, no, it itches!"

Wanda dodged the fingers that were slid Venom across her face.

If he couldn't avoid it, he would hide behind Pamela, which shows that he trusted Pamela a lot.

Pamela smiled and cooperatively opened her arms to block the Venom.

"Alright, Sister Venom, let them eat first. Their stomachs are growling loudly."

"Sister Pamela, she wasn't howling."

"Okay, no!"

As Wanda sat down next to Pietro, Pamela and Venom also took their seats next to Kino.

Wanda was still somewhat afraid as she looked at Kino across from her.

"Don't be afraid, he won't eat people."

Pamela put some food into Wanda's bowl.

Pietro also picked up a spoon.

Seeing Wanda enjoying her meal, Kino remarked, "Eat more, get fat so the meat will be chewier."

"Ugh! Hiccup~ I'm not feeling well, hiccup~ Eat."

Wanda looked at Pamela with teary eyes, startled by the words and hiccuped.

"Honey!"

Pamela looked at Kino dangerously.

I'm here to help you win people over, and you're causing trouble for me.

Seeing that things were going badly, Kino immediately dropped his joking expression and honestly apologized.

"Sorry."

After saying that, he thoughtfully poured a glass of juice and gently placed it in front of Wanda, trying to make up for his mistake.

Wanda hiccuped, staring blankly with wide eyes, seemingly unable to believe what she was hearing. Was this an apology?

Pietro looked at Kino with equal surprise.
