Eriri: Could You Guys At Least Look at Me?!

Unfortunately Eriri Spencer Sawamura is a complete weakling, thin-skinned, and arrogant.

All these factors combined made it impossible for Yukino to show the same hostility she had towards Utaha.

Let alone giving her a cold look, Eriri Spencer Sawamura would probably blush instantly or even run away in a huff if she made a slight move.

It's all Fushimi Makoto's fault!

Yukino silently recited this in her heart.

The two quickly arrived at Fushimi Makoto's house, but he hadn't returned yet. It was Sawamura Sayuri who opened the door.

"You came very quickly."

The beautiful woman was still as lively and approachable as ever. She led the two pretty girls into the living room, and after they greeted Mrs. Yukinoshita, she said excitedly, "Makoto said he'd be making mala tang for dinner. We've never had it before, so we stayed out of curiosity."

Mrs. Yukinoshita immediately spoke up, "You were the one who suggested that he cook, don't drag me into it."

"What does it matter? We're best friends, why are we being so close?" Sawamura Sayuri smiled and leaned closer, hugging the other's arm.

The air conditioning was on in the room, Mrs. Yukinoshita couldn't use the "it's too hot" excuse anymore, so she simply pulled her arm away. "Can't you be a little more composed?"

Sawamura Sayuri pretended not to hear and smiled at Eriri Spencer Sawamura, saying, "Eriri Spencer Sawamura, did you see that? Good friends should interact often. You can learn from me."

Eriri Spencer Sawamura froze, then instinctively turned to look at Yukino.

Seeing her hesitant little expression, Yukino felt both helpless and amused. "You don't actually believe that, do you? Sayuri was clearly joking."

"It's older sister, not auntie~" Sawamura Sayuri corrected.

Yukino remained silent.

Clearly, given her reserved nature, she simply couldn't bring herself to call an auntie "sister."

In particular, the other party's attitude was somewhat frivolous.

Etc.

I think I overlooked something!

Yukino turned around abruptly, her voice full of surprise. "Auntie Sayuri, you just said he was going to make mala tang?"

"I already said I'm the older sister... That's right, he said he's really good at making mala tang (spicy hot pot), I'm actually looking forward to it." Sawamura Sayuri nodded.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura, standing nearby, became expectant. "I saw a really famous mala tang place in Ikebukuro online, I think it's called Cockroach Mala Tang?"

When she spoke the word "cockroach," her Chinese accent was very strange.

Yukino reminded them, "It's Zhang Liang Malatang."

Her Chinese is quite fluent.

"Oh right, that's it... Huh? You understand Chinese?" Eriri Spencer Sawamura, surprised.

Yukino no explanation.

She studies Chinese in private, influenced by Fushimi Makoto.

Coincidentally, she learned everything very quickly, as if she were born with that talent, so she mastered a new language in a short time.

Fushimi Makoto once remarked. "That saying was definitely true: don't meddle in anime and manga."

With Yukino's unreasonable learning ability, anyone who didn't know better would think she had some kind of system boost...

"Yukino, what's wrong?" Compared to the Sawamura mother and daughter who were more interested in Chinese, Mrs. Yukinoshita clearly noticed that her younger daughter was acting strangely.

Yukino shook her head with a complicated expression and said tactfully, "He used to make me spicy hot pot."

"Oh? Have you eaten? How did it taste?" Sawamura Sayuri asked immediately.

Yukino's tone became more complicated. "I didn't eat it, but Kasumigaoka -senpai and Nino- san did, and they said it was delicious."

They started blushing and trembling as they ate, and then they started feeling it...

Yukino didn't dare say those words aloud.

"That would be fantastic!" Sawamura Sayuri exclaimed with anticipation.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura was also secretly delighted, thinking that if she was a guest at the Fushimi Family tonight, even if that strange schedule worked, she would at least have someone to sweat and exercise with.

After these days of monotonous life, Eriri Spencer Sawamura has actually gotten used to doing things according to the schedule every day, and the initial resistance and panic have long since faded.

What she really disliked was living such a monotonous life all by herself.

Just like Fushimi Makoto over to tutor her every noon, she was actually quite happy about it.

She's fine with anything as long as someone is there for her, whether it's studying or exercising.

Yukino, seeing the joy on the faces of Sawamura and her daughter, silently picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said nothing more.

Although she didn't suspect that Fushimi Makoto had drugged the hot pot, Nakano Nino and Utaha's behavior that day was so enthusiastic that it left a deep impression on her.

Later, she was bent over in the bathroom... As a result, she now feels uneasy whenever she hears the word "mala tang" (spicy hot pot).

But today she was definitely overthinking things.

Fushimi Makoto has also cooked mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot) these past few days, but he hasn't experienced the "seven in, seven out" buff from that day again.

He has now completely figured out the effect of the [Diligence Aura].

If it's food, the chance of getting a strange buff is extremely low; he was just unlucky that day.

If it's a handcrafted item, the chance of getting strange buffs increases significantly, but at least they're all positive effects that still have an effect.

After Fushimi Makoto returned from grocery shopping, he greeted the two beautiful girls, tied on an apron, and went into the kitchen to start working.

"I'll go help him."

Yukino was restless, and finally hurriedly said something before getting up and heading to the kitchen.

While Sawamura Sayuri was still teasing them about how good their relationship was, Mrs. Yukinoshita was already starting to have doubts.

Yukino very strange!

Is it because of the mala tang (spicy hot pot)?

That shouldn't be the case. Mala Tang is just ordinary food; what could be wrong with it?

Mrs. Yukinoshita fell into deep thought.

They are currently in the kitchen.

Fushimi Makoto saw Yukino suddenly enter, he immediately realized that the girl was traumatized by the previous incident.

This was a tricky thing to explain, so he pretended not to know and changed the subject. "Will you still play tennis with me in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino, whose thoughts were already in turmoil, immediately asked, "What kind of filthy thoughts are you having now?"

"I just wanted to compliment you on how cute you look in your tennis skirt. Why do you always overthink things?"

"Is that really all there is to it?"

"Certainly."

I don't believe it.

Yukino, looking down at Fushimi Makoto with pity, said, "Even if I wear a tennis skirt again, I'll still wear safety shorts, so your little scheme is impossible."

To everyone's Fushimi Makoto said, "Safety shorts are cute too."

For example, Railgun).

Yukino, of course, had no idea about Railgun. When she heard Fushimi Makoto say that, she was immediately surprised and exclaimed, "Safety shorts are also your XP?"

Then she raised her hand to her forehead, giving a disgusted look. "You're hopeless."

"So you're not planning to wear safety shorts?" Fushimi Makoto countered.

Yukino's expression remained unchanged. "If you beg me..."

Please.

"Oh."

Yukino smiled, a smile so beautiful it was mesmerizing, but her tone was icy. "I haven't finished speaking. If you beg me, I can go to the mall with you to look at safety shorts. You can look at them however you like."

"You're cheating!" Fushimi Makoto looked very dissatisfied.

Yukino knew he was faking it, but she still felt a sense of pleasure.

She suppressed a laugh and said, "What a pity, your perverted wish to look at legs is destined to remain unfulfilled."

Fushimi Makoto finished preparing the seasonings and put on a thoughtful expression. "If I were to ask Eriri Spencer Sawamura for help, she's so shy and a soft-hearted god, she might agree."

"Then I wish you success." Yukino's smile faded.

"I was just kidding. Actually, I don't want to see anything else except your safety shorts."

"Now that you say that, I think you're even more of a pervert."

She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly noticed Fushimi Makoto's expression turn serious, which alerted her. "What are you going to do?"

Fushimi Makoto glanced outside the kitchen and whispered, "Let me play with your legs, and I'll give you a family heirloom."

Yukino was dumbfounded.

So direct?

Besides, his mother is out there.

As for the family heirloom the other party mentioned, Yukino was not entirely convinced, but she was certainly curious.

"Take the item out and let me see it first." Yukino didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Fushimi Makoto then reached into his pocket and pulled out a transparent pendant.

Yukino, of course, had no idea that he had made the pendant himself.

[Rough Peace Pendant: This pendant has the effects of calming the mind and nourishing the brain, promoting blood circulation and regulating Qi, clearing heat and calming the liver. People who wear this pendant have better sleep quality and experience a significant reduction in anxiety and irritability.]

[Note: The effects of this pendant only last for 30 days. It is recommended to make several as spares.]

Fushimi Makoto's monstrous physical abilities certainly don't require it, but the people around him do.

"Promoting blood circulation and regulating qi" means that it can improve blood circulation and make the body healthier.

Clearing heat and calming the liver means that it can relieve physical fatigue and reduce discomfort caused by physical illness.

"This is the family heirloom you were talking about?" Yukino's eyes were practically overflowing with suspicion.

This thing looks rather rough, like it was bought from a street stall.

Fushimi Makoto smiled and said, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. This is a treasure I asked someone to buy from a very famous Daoist temple in China. It can make your body healthier and help you sleep better."

"A Daoist temple?"

Yukino wanted to say that such a thing was impossible.

But then she thought again, if even Time Loop could appear on Fushimi Makoto, then the fact that he's specifically taking out this seemingly cheap pendant means it can't be fake.

She paused for a moment, then looked outside hesitantly. "Here... my mother and the others might find us."

"We can close the door. No one will usually bother us while we're cooking. Besides, I have very good hearing," Fushimi Makoto said confidently.

Yukino hesitated for a moment, then finally turned and walked to the door, saying softly, "I'll go take a shower first."

The moment she finished speaking, two alluring blushes rose on her cheeks.

After she left, footsteps sounded outside, and Eriri Spencer Sawamura's pretty face came into Fushimi Makoto's view. "Have you started cooking yet?"

Fushimi Makoto blinked. "Eriri Spencer Sawamura, do you need a massage lately?"

Eriri Spencer Sawamura blushed and said shyly, "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

I do really like that feeling, but you can't be so direct!

"I was just thinking, if you let me give you a massage, and it happens to improve my practical experience, then I'll give you a family heirloom."

Fushimi Makoto finished speaking, he took out another pendant from his pants pocket.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura: "???"

Chapter 318 Eriri Spencer Sawamura: Look at me!

In the end Yukino and Eriri Spencer Sawamura each received a "family heirloom".

Although they were all skeptical of the "family heirloom" that Fushimi Makoto, they immediately felt a change in their bodies after they actually got their hands on the pendant.

My whole being felt blessed, instantly becoming Serenity and warm, much like when I was lying in a chair leisurely enjoying a sunbath on a pleasant afternoon.
