As the sun sets, night gradually falls, making the sky filled with sunset lights completely dark.
At this time, the number of pedestrians on the road was gradually decreasing. People either returned home and started having dinner with their families, or gathered in various restaurants for dinner, making the city at night filled with a touch of warmth.
Soon, most people in the city will fall asleep.
But for Devil, this is the time to become active.
"Then, let's welcome Shiina-san to join us."
In the restaurant of the manor, following Leo's order, a small welcome party was held here.
"Welcome to join, Shiina-san."
"----Welcome."
"You can eat whatever you want, you're welcome."
Utaha Kasumigaoka was the first to respond to Leo's call. Although Yukino Yukinoshita was a moment late, he still spoke stiffly. Only Asuna Yuuki smiled gently at Mahiru Shiina and greeted her.
At this time, the dining table in the restaurant was filled with a variety of dishes. These hot and fragrant dishes were not made by the chefs in the manor, but by Asuna Yuuki himself.
Mahiru Shiina held a welcome party. Leo came up with this idea on a whim, but Asuna Yuuki was also very interested and took the initiative to take over the position of chef. He ran into the kitchen with great interest and directly cooked such a large table of dishes.
"Thank you, fellow seniors."
Mahiru Shiina, who was welcomed, was a little reserved at first, as if he didn't adapt to the lively atmosphere, but he soon showed an innocent smile and accepted everyone's kindness.
"Is there any udon? There should be, right?"
Miyamoto Musashi was also present, and even ordered the food. He looked at his disciple expectantly, and his desire was almost written on his face.
"Yes, teacher, please eat while it's hot."
Asuna Yuuki respectfully brought a bowl of udon noodles in front of Miyamoto Musashi, making Miyamoto Musashi let out a cheer.
"Sure enough, udon noodles are the best!"
Miyamoto Musashi then frowned with happiness on his face, causing the rest of the people present to also start taking down their chopsticks.
"It's so delicious." Utaha Kasumigaoka praised while enjoying it, "Your cooking skills are the best, Asuna."
As a single woman living alone outside, Utaha Kasumigaoka or Yukino Yukinoshita can cook for herself.
However, compared with Asuna Yuuki, at least in terms of cooking skills, Utaha Kasumigaoka is at a disadvantage.
She feels that among the people in this manor, Asuna Yuuki's cooking skills are the most outstanding, and even the chef who specializes in cooking may not be able to match her.
However, Asuna Yuuki doesn't think so.
"Yukino's cooking skills are also very good. I don't think I can match her."
Asuna Yuuki's words made everyone's attention focus on Yukino Yukinoshita.
This statement is not unfounded.
Yukino Yukinoshita Although this person is a bit withdrawn, has a bit of a venomous tongue, and has a cold temperament, it is undeniable that she is indeed very capable.
Whether it's cooking or housework, Yukino Yukinoshita is very good at it, so good that it can even be called impeccable.
Although Asuna Yuuki is also very good at cooking, she only started to study cooking after she entered high school and gradually developed an interest. Her family did not stop her for reasons such as the bride's spiritual practice. However, Asuna Yuuki has only been studying cooking for less than two years, and she feels that she is still not as good as Yukino Yukinoshita, who can do everything at home.
"Asuna's craftsmanship is already very good." Yukino Yukinoshita saw everyone looking at him and said calmly, "Even if I were to do it, it would probably be at this level."
She is indeed versatile in housework, but she is not a chef who specializes in cooking, so she doesn't think her skills are much better than Asuna Yuuki.
"You two are very powerful, right?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka suddenly felt that she had lost a bit as a qualified woman, so she had nothing to say in anger.
Her cooking skills must be the worst among the girls here, right?
Although it is not unpalatable, it should be inferior to Yukino Yukinoshita and Asuna Yuuki who are particularly good at cooking.
No way, who made her call herself a future novelist, and her delicate hands would rather be used to type on the keyboard than to hold a spatula?
Therefore, Utaha Kasumigaoka has not devoted much time to study cooking skills. She may be much better than those girls who don't know how to cook, but compared with those who are good at it, she is still not as good as them.
Obviously she is a senior, the oldest and senior person among the people present except Leo (excluding Miyamoto Musashi), but her cooking skills are not as good as those of the two juniors, which is a bit embarrassing.
However, even the newcomers can probably beat her in this area.
"I remember, Mahiru is also good at cooking, right?"
Leo held a piece of hamburger firmly with chopsticks and smiled at Mahiru Shiina.
"I'm fine." Mahiru Shiina said modestly, "If the seniors and sisters are interested, I can also cook."
This Angel may be the hidden master of cooking.
Because she has learned cooking since she was a child.
A woman who has taken care of her since she was a child said that in order to capture the heart of the person she likes in the future, it is necessary for girls to learn cooking skills.
Therefore, Mahiru Shiina may be the one who has studied cooking for the longest time among the people present. Even Yukino Yukinoshita and Asuna Yuuki may not be able to compare with him.
"Hey, sister Shiina, can you make something for me to eat next time?"
Miyamoto Musashi, as the person with the oldest real age and real seniority at the scene, did not hide the fact that he knew nothing about cooking and only knew how to hold a sword, which was not even as good as that of several younger generations. He spoke out with great expectation.
"I want to eat oden!"
Hearing this, Mahiru Shiina couldn't stand Miyamoto Musashi's enthusiasm, and hesitated in confusion, wondering whether he should agree or not.
She still doesn't know the specific origin of Miyamoto Musashi, let alone his identity here.
"Okay, teacher, you can eat udon noodles first." Asuna Yuuki helped Mahiru Shiina out of trouble, and said helplessly to Miyamoto Musashi: "Next time I will make oden for you."
"Okay!" Miyamoto Musashi cheered again.
It doesn't matter who makes it, as long as it tastes good.
Martial Artist Miyamoto Musashi, your thoughts are so pure.
"If you want to cook, you can cook at any time. Are you afraid that you won't have the chance?" Leo picked up another piece of fat and tender fish, and Shi Shiran said, "There are still many days to come. I have decided that whenever a new member joins in the future, I will hold a welcome party."
Before, it was because there were too few people and there was no need.
But now, he already has four dependents under his command, and he can definitely have some fun when new members join.
This is also helpful to enhance the relationship between family members, so that when there are many people, it will be difficult to get closer to each other.
"This is a good idea, I agree."
Asuna Yuuki put his hands together and was the first to cater to Leo.
"Okay."
Yukino Yukinoshita thought for a while and nodded.
Although it is not very suitable for such a lively atmosphere, she will not feel resisted. If she needs to cook, she will not mind doing it.
"Am I lucky?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka was a little puzzled.
She had just joined the group a few days ago, and starting from her back, all the new members had a welcome party, which really made her feel depressed.
"You should think about the problem from another perspective. For example, in the future, you can attend all the welcome parties for new members and have a big meal. Isn't this also a blessing?"
Leo joked with a smile, making Utaha Kasumigaoka roll his eyes at him.
Everyone started chatting lively while eating. If the teachers and students of Sobu High School saw this scene, they would probably find it very strange, right?
One of the most popular boys in the school, and the four undisputed High Mountain Flowers in the school. The boy was a teacher and the girl was beautiful. However, they ended up having dinner together. It was so lively that they didn't look like children from wealthy families with superior family backgrounds. Instead, they felt as warm as an ordinary family. This must have been something that many people never thought of.
Mahiru Shiina That's it. Looking at this scene, I felt emotions I had never felt before.
She has never been so lively at the dinner table.
Her parents didn't want to see her, and her servants wouldn't eat at the same table with her. Therefore, in her sixteen years of life, Mahiru Shiina ate alone most of the time. She had never been so warm and lively at the dining table.
"Is this what it feels like to be Devil?"
Mahiru Shiina asked himself silently in his heart, but his face was softer than ever.
After they have had enough wine and food, there is no need for everyone to clean up the mess, they can just leave it to the familiars.
Leo announced something before leaving.
"This weekend, I am going to take you to the Kuoh Academy to meet two friends who live there."
Leo informed everyone of this belated notice.
"Kuoh Academy?"
"Is it from Shitori-senpai's side?"
Yukino Yukinoshita and Asuna Yuuki reacted immediately. Both of them had seen Sona Shitori.
"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "At that time, you will also meet Sona Sitri and another family member of High-Class Devil, and you can communicate with each other."
"So, be prepared and don't lose Eligos Peerage's face."
After saying that, Leo left the restaurant, leaving the girls alone to discuss.
"They are all the new generation Devil. They may still be competitors in the future, so it's a good idea to go and have a look." Miyamoto Musashi touched his belly and said with a satisfied look on his face, "The princesses Sitri Clan and Gremory Clan are both geniuses. I guess their dependents will also be very interesting, right?"
Miyamoto Musashi naturally wouldn't go with him when the time came, so he left without saying anything.
The girls immediately looked at each other, and finally stood up together.
"Shiina-kun, let me take you to the study room."
"Okay, excuse me, Yukinoshita-senpai."
"Asuna, do you want to try fighting me this time?"
"Okay, please give me some advice, Kasumigaoka-senpai."
The girls then went their separate ways and worked hard to improve themselves.
