Chapter 76 Yuihama Wants to Experiment Again
After lunch, Xia Sheng lay back on the sofa in the living room, rubbing his slightly bulging belly contentedly.
He can't eat anything right now.
His stomach can no longer digest and absorb nutrients as intensely as it could in the morning.
"Natsuo, you've eaten too much, haven't you?" Yui Yuigahama, sitting next to him, looked at him and teased him with amusement.
He ate most of the four dishes and the pot of rice.
"Because it's really delicious. You know, I don't usually get to eat hot meals," Xia Sheng replied lazily.
"Oh right... Doesn't Shiina usually make extra for you?" Yui Yuigahama asked softly, glancing at Shiina Mahiru's back as she washed the dishes in the kitchen.
"It happens occasionally, it mainly depends on her mood."
"Occasionally..."
"After all, she has no obligation to do it for me."
"That's true..." Yui Yuigahama pursed her lips and nodded slowly.
It seems that the two are just ordinary neighbors and friends.
So, Shiina, have you thought about the future?
Yui Yuigahama felt that with Shiina Mahiru's intelligence, she must have foreseen the future developments, just like Yukino Yukinoshita.
So, what are her thoughts?
Is it better to accept it gradually, or...?
"What's wrong with you? Why are you spacing out?" Natsumi raised his hand and waved it in front of Yui Yuigahama.
"It's nothing." Yui Yuigahama came back to her senses and shook her head.
"By the way, between Yukinoshita and Shiina, who do you think is the best cook?"
"...You're such a problem-maker!" Xia Sheng glared at her, annoyed.
Just now, when faced with Shiina Mahiru's question, Natsuo naturally treated her fairly, answering that all four dishes were equally delicious.
He had no idea who cooked which dish.
Of course, even if you knew, there wouldn't be any other answer.
This is a life-or-death question.
However, he wasn't lying. All four dishes were truly delicious and suited his taste perfectly, with no dietary restrictions whatsoever.
It would be even better if we could eat it every day.
After a short while, Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina finished washing the dishes and cleaning up the trash. They rested for a while before continuing their experiments.
There were no significant results in the afternoon.
The reason for this is ultimately a matter of magic.
If they don't have magic power within them, there's nothing that can be done; Xia Sheng's abilities simply cannot be shared with them.
Ultimately, it comes down to how close they are.
Xia Sheng was well aware of this situation; it was highly likely that they wanted him to develop a very close relationship with them.
He had this idea the moment his interlocked fingers began to work.
He'd seen this kind of setup countless times.
However, he should pretend he knew nothing about it, since he was the one who benefited.
This may be the purpose of the world.
He is an outsider, not belonging to this world, and if the world cannot deal with an invader, then His people are even less likely to be able to.
But Xia Sheng is different. He is not restricted. If the people of this world are assimilated by him, he can also break free from the constraints of this world.
As for how they were assimilated, those who know, know.
The world is clearly using him, but this use is entirely beneficial to him, and he can accept it.
He has already provided the conditions; now it's up to him to see how far he can go.
As evening approached, Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama prepared to go home, not planning to stay for dinner.
Moreover, Yui Yuigahama will be going to that place with him that night, so he needs to go back and prepare.
Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru escorted them to the entrance of the apartment building, and he also gave them the first volume of "Konosuba".
"This light novel is the one I mentioned I'd recommend to you guys. It's really good. You can go back and check it out, and also learn about the monster settings in it."
"I've already watched most of it, and it's really interesting," Shiina Mahiru said with a smile.
"Is that so?"
Yukino Yukinoshita took it, glanced at the very common light novel cover, and noticed the author's and illustrator's names.
She glanced at Xia Sheng, but said nothing.
It seems they've guessed something.
"KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! I understand. I'll go back and take a good look." Yui Yuigahama glanced at the book title and said earnestly.
"See you tonight."
"Okay, see you tonight!"
After watching the two leave, Natsumi and Shiina Mahiru went home.
To Natsuo's surprise, Shiina Mahiru followed him to his house.
"What's wrong with you?"
"What? Yukinoshita and the others left, so you won't let me come to your house anymore?" Shiina Mahiru asked in a slightly cold tone.
"Of course not, you're welcome to come into my house," Xia Sheng quickly replied.
"That's more like it. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll make dinner and call you when it's ready," Shiina Mahiru said, walking towards the kitchen.
Xia Sheng stood there, staring blankly at her, wondering if he had misheard.
Is there such a good thing?
"Are you telling the truth?" he followed up with the question.
"There's still some food left, it would be a waste not to cook it, and you don't know how to cook anyway." Shiina Mahiru took the remaining food out of the refrigerator, explaining as she began to wash it.
"Then I'll help you out," Xia Sheng said, leaning closer.
"Can you?"
"You underestimate me, don't you?"
Xia Sheng can handle the simple task of preparing ingredients.
With Natsumi's help, Shiina Mahiru's preparation time was shortened considerably, and soon the sound of stir-frying could be heard from the kitchen.
Xia Sheng had already returned to the living room, so there was nothing more he could do to help.
However, he did nothing, just lay on the back of the sofa, watching Shiina Mahiru's busy back.
A feeling of happiness welled up inside me.
After preparing the meal, Shiina Mahiru stayed to eat with them. Not counting lunchtime, this was the first time the two of them had sat down to eat together.
The two didn't talk much, eating their meal quietly in a peaceful atmosphere.
After the meal, Shiina Mahiru wanted to wash the dishes, but Natsuo stopped her.
She's already cooked for him, so he'll definitely have to take care of the rest.
Shiina Mahiru wasn't in a hurry to go back. She sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Natsuo wash the dishes, slightly lost in thought.
After Xia Sheng finished washing up, she went back.
Xia Sheng was bored, so he went to the art studio to draw illustrations.
He has already finished writing the second volume of "Konosuba". Once the illustrations are finished, he can hand it over to Kuroneko to arrange the release date.
The first volume is currently very popular and has a high level of interest within the community.
There are many funny novels, and there are also well-written novels, but there are none that are both funny and well-written.
The author is still a newcomer.
Moreover, this pen name has led many people to mistakenly believe that she is a female author.
It became even more popular with readers.
Xia Sheng plans to capitalize on the hype and release the second volume in a month.
This will surely surprise many readers.
When the third volume comes out a month later, they will realize that something is wrong.
This author is a word machine!
In an era where only one volume is published every quarter or half a year, Xia Sheng's "Inner Struggle" will be loved by readers.
Who doesn't like an author who updates frequently?
Xia Sheng drew until after 10 p.m. before taking a shower and going to bed.
After falling asleep, when I opened my eyes again, it was that place.
It is the first floor.
"Natsuo, good evening~" Yui Yuigahama walked towards him excitedly.
"Good evening," Xia Sheng replied, glancing around.
It was indeed the first floor. He had thought he would go to the second floor with Yui Yuigahama.
What will today's slime be like?
"Natsuo, this isn't the second floor, is it?" Yui Yuigahama asked.
"Hmm, still the first floor."
"I thought we were going to the second floor."
"It's only a matter of time."
"Um..." Yui Yuigahama grabbed Natsuo's sleeve, tilting her head up with her cheeks slightly flushed.
"What's wrong?"
"Well... while the slime hasn't appeared yet, should we try it out here?" Yui Yuigahama asked softly.
"Should we test it here?"
"Yes...maybe there will be a different effect here..." Yui Yuigahama's voice grew softer and softer.
Looking at the shy Yui Yuigahama, whose charming appearance stirred something in Natsumi's heart: "It seems like I could give it a try."
"That......"
"Give it a try."
Natsumi took Yui Yuigahama's hand, their fingers intertwined, and magic appeared.
