Herta's Cooking

"Are you trying to trick someone?"

"Hey~ I won't talk about it, I won't talk about it."

Yaoguang shook his right index finger.

"How can this be called cheating people? This is called sharing the hardships and enjoying the blessings together."

I kindly brought a small gift for an elderly person, and he actually thanked me!

Jing Yuan, who was playing chess, sneezed.

I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen.

"Okay."

Sera probably knew what Yaoguang was planning, and could only hope that Jing Yuan wouldn't accidentally unleash the Mara-Struck.

"Miss Himeko, could you please prepare another cup of coffee later? I'd like to get one for my colleague as well; he's getting on in years and doesn't sleep very well."

Yaoguang put on an expression of consideration for his colleague, but the smile in his eyes never faded.

"No problem!" Himeko agreed without hesitation.

The Seven Arbiter-Generals are truly blessed to have such a demonic colleague. He doesn't forget his colleague even when he gets good things; when there's danger, Boss Yao is the most reliable eye, and when there's no danger, Boss Yao is the greatest danger.

Sera stopped watching the two people talking and instead stood up and went into the kitchen.

"Maybe we shouldn't do it?"

Sera asked tentatively.

"No!"

The Herta, who was battling the Curio, instinctively turned around to retort upon hearing Sera's words, and the result was...

boom--

The Curio exploded inside the pot.

The people outside: What happened?

Herta silently stared at the Curio in the pot, its original form unrecognizable, and clenched his fist.

"It's your fault for distracting me, causing the Curio to explode again."

"Yes, yes, yes, then can our great Ms. Herta and Ms. Black Tomb cook with normal ingredients?"

Sera raised her hands in surrender, helplessly trying to persuade the Herta and the Black Tomb.

"Okay." x2

Black Tomb regretfully put the Curio down; she was just about to put it in the pot.

"I'll help you too."

Sera felt relieved and walked over to the two people in the Herta.

result...

Bang!

Sera glanced awkwardly at the kitchen, which had exploded again, and at the two men beside her with dark expressions.

As expected, Sera was pushed out of the kitchen by the Herta and the Black Tomb. After staying inside for a while, the Black Tomb even took a sign and hung it on the kitchen door.

The kitchen is a restricted area; Sera is not allowed to enter.

"Would you believe me if I said it was an accident?"

Sera looked at everyone with an innocent expression.

"I don't believe it." Kiana shook her head decisively.

"White Kitty, it's okay if you can't get into the kitchen."

"My benefactor, it's alright if you can't cook."

"Hmm, let's just sit down and wait patiently."

Cyrene walked over and pushed Sera to the seat, pressing him down into a seat.

Himeko felt that Sera's reliable image was almost completely fading from her mind, but she liked Sera no matter what.

Sparkle secretly noted that Sera couldn't go into the kitchen and posted it to the fan club.

Yaoguang glanced at Sparkle's little actions, then looked at the message on the Jade Abacus, smiled, and remained silent.

"Shh~"

Sparkle noticed Yaoguang's gaze and clasped her hands together, begging for mercy from Yaoguang.

Yaoguang pointed to Jade Abacus, indicating that Sparkle should check the message.

Sparkle glanced at the message and gasped in surprise. Wasn't this stealing her job?!

Sparkle stared wide-eyed, one hand on her hip, pointing at Yaoguang.

Yaoguang remained silent, only shaking the Jade Abacus. In the end, Sparkle gave in.

Sparkle made a "1" gesture with his hand, Yaoguang didn't refuse, nodding, because if he asked for more, Sparkle would get angry.

Herta and Black Tomb came out carrying several plates of seemingly normal dishes, and Sera breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no strange ingredients.

"All the dishes are served, let's eat."

Herta and Black Tomb washed their hands, dried them with towels, and then threw the towels into the basket in the same manner.

Sera glanced at the dishes, then at the crowd waiting for him to 'test the poison' first, and had no choice but to start eating.

After he picked up a dish and ate it, everyone else felt relieved and picked up the same dish.

"How about it? You're secretly thrilled to be able to eat a meal cooked by this genius."

"Delicious! As expected of Ms. Herta and Ms. Black Tomb."

Sera gave a thumbs-up and praised without hesitation.

He was afraid that if he spoke too late, they would start cooking with Curio every day.

However, Sera wasn't exaggerating; the food the two of them cooked was genuinely quite good. Herta's cooking skills were similar to Himeko's —she could cook well, but she always liked to add strange ingredients, resulting in less than ideal outcomes.

Sera just hopes Himeko won't go astray; he doesn't want to eat weird food every day. Even if he's Herrscher, he couldn't handle eating that kind of stuff every day, right?

But Sera ultimately failed because Himeko's reason was simple. "Don't you think this is Trailblaze?"

Sera, naturally, had nothing to say.

"Just eat. Eat as much as you like."

Herta sat down next to Sera, propping his head up as he watched her.

The item will arrive soon; he should like it, right?

The birthday presents Herta prepared for Sera, just like the Screwllum prepared, are still on their way.

In fact, what Polka Kakamu gave him back then was a Curio that manipulated probability, but it was limited to only a small number of things.

This item is still in Sera's 'collection', and Sera basically has no use for it.

Black Tomb picked up his chopsticks, placed a piece of braised pork in Sera's bowl, and put it there.

"I remember you like this. I learned how to make it especially for you. Try it."

"Mmm! Black Tomb's cooking is delicious."

Sera, just like a robot, gave a thumbs up.

"The taste is about the same as some of the old restaurants in Xianzhou."

Yaoguang took a sip and exclaimed in admiration, "As everyone knows, the old brand of Xianzhou is truly ancient."

Cyrene, who was also sitting next to Sera, was not to be outdone and served Sera food as well, but she didn't say anything, since the food was made by Black Tomb and Herta.

After Feiying tried the 'poison' in Sera, she focused on eating. Ying sat next to Feiying and poured her water when she choked from eating too fast, gently patting Feiying's back.

It was like an older sister taking care of her younger sister, Sakura thought to herself, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.

Suzi was peeling shrimp while wearing gloves, and placed the peeled shrimp in a bowl. Himeko picked up a peeled shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and brought it to Suzi's mouth.

Suzi opened her mouth slightly and ate it, then looked at Himeko with a helpless expression.

"You don't need to feed me so much, you should eat some too."

"No, Suzi peeled all of these, so of course Suzi should get more!"

Himeko shook her head; she wouldn't listen.

"What's wrong?"

Herta picked up a piece of meat and put it in Ruan Mei's bowl.

"I'm still thinking... about greed."

Before Ruan Mei could finish speaking, Herta silenced her with food served on serving chopsticks.

"Don't think about research while we're eating. Do you think my cooking is bad?"

"It tastes much better than before."

Nguyen Mai commented as follows.
