"Are you awake, Yu?"
Kurumi, who had just seen Ellie El off, returned to the living room and tidied up. She then saw Yu, still groggy, slowly coming down from upstairs. Looking at such a cute Yu, Kurumi couldn't help but feel embarrassed by how energetic she had been playing games last night, completely forgetting who had introduced Yu to this otaku world.
Yu took the cup of tea Kurumi handed her and nodded at Kurumi.
"Was the game fun, Yu?"
"Interesting."
Because Ayumi had gone to school early in the morning, there was no one to cook at home. Kurumi had no choice but to show off the dishes she had gradually learned to make during her 'parenting' period in King Arthur's era. With just a few dishes, she completely conquered Yu's appetite.
After heating the food and placing it in front of Yu, Kurumi smiled and watched Yu 'battle' a steamed bun while she drank her rice porridge. This originally heartwarming scene was broken the next second by Haruna's sudden return.
"What's this? It smells so good."
Haruna sniffed the aroma of food in the air and asked Kurumi.
"I made a lot. If you don't mind, you can try some."
"Really? That's great!"
"Then, I'll help myself."
With Haruna joining in, Yu and Haruna began their battle at the dinner table. Kurumi watched TV from the side, completely ignoring the two fighting over food.
"Her movements have sped up quite a bit recently!"
Watching the three consecutive murder cases broadcast on TV, Kurumi thought this. She didn't know why. Originally, the other party's speed was basically once every two days, but now it had become three times every two days. She didn't know what kind of orders the Night King had given her.
"Haruna, I'm full."
When Kurumi came back to her senses, she found the plates on the table as clean as if they had been washed with water. Haruna's small body was lying by the dinner table, her stomach distended like a seven-month pregnant woman's. Fortunately, Ayumi's house had tatami flooring, so there was no need to worry about getting her clothes dirty.
"Yu, play by yourself for a bit. I'll clean up and then play with you."
Looking helplessly at Haruna, who was lying on the floor like a dried fish, Kurumi said to Yu and began to clear the dishes from the table. Yu nodded obediently and slowly walked towards the room on the second floor.
"I'll help too! Oh, and I need to prepare a bento for that Ayumi."
Hearing Kurumi's words, Haruna stood up, clutching her waist, and said to Kurumi.
"Why did you suddenly decide to prepare a bento for Ayumi?"
Kurumi, who had watched the anime, was actually very curious about Haruna's action. Was it out of gratitude?
"Isn't it only right to repay someone when you're staying at their house?"
Haruna said to Kurumi with a serious expression. In truth, even if she didn't do much, Ayumi would still welcome Haruna to stay at her house, because she was a Yuri fan and a lolicon! Because she was a Yuri fan and a lolicon! Because she was a Yuri fan and a lolicon! (Important things must be said three times)
"Haruna, you're such a good child."
Kurumi looked at Haruna with a relieved expression, stroked her cute little head, and praised her.
"B-Baka! What are you talking about? Haruna is a good child to begin with."
"Hai! Hai! Hai~! Haruna is a good child."
"Don't treat me like a child."
"In the blink of an eye, Haruna has become a big child. I'm so relieved."
"You..."
Haruna, knowing she couldn't win against Kurumi, angrily ignored Kurumi and walked directly into the kitchen, starting her 'magnificent cooking'. It was truly magnificent!
Curious as to why Haruna in the original story could make such delicious egg dishes, Kurumi also entered the kitchen. But Kurumi immediately regretted it. The method for making such 'bizarre' dishes was also bizarre, actually using electric drills, lime powder, and so on... There were also some things Kurumi couldn't identify, which Haruna explained as 'Billie Eilish's special products.' The appearance of these items immediately made Kurumi give up on learning the 'great egg dish.'
"I'm sorry, Ayumi. I apologize for my previous bad attitude towards you. I'm sorry, if you saw the entire cooking process, you'd probably want to die. That saying is true: ignorance is bliss. I'll treat you better from now on, Ayumi."
Kurumi, stepping out of the kitchen, stood in the yard, looking at the sky, genuinely sympathizing with Ayumi, who was far away at school. That was no longer a so-called egg dish, but merely an unidentified object disguised as food.
"I'm going to deliver the bento to that idiot Ayumi."
"Take it easy on your way, Haruna."
"Yosh, I'll rush to school in one go."
Kurumi saw Haruna out the door and glanced around. She happened to see a handsome man in a corner looking at her. Under normal circumstances, Kurumi wouldn't pay attention to such a gaze, but this man looked so familiar. That hairstyle... She thought for a moment, and suddenly it clicked with a certain character.
"Night King! What are you doing here?"
Walking back inside, Kurumi used her vast perception to find that the other party had only lingered for a moment before leaving, with no intention of 'visiting' at all. This made Kurumi even more curious. Meeting two top-tier figures from this world in a single day—her luck really was something!
"Yu, I'll get your voice back for you soon."
Kurumi looked at a magic book in her hand. This book was something Kurumi had recently created based on the books inside her earring and the equal contract she had signed with Li Jiayu. She had been studying it for the past month and was almost done.
Once Yu and Kurumi contract this book, Yu's immense and uncontrollable magic power would be managed by Kurumi through the grimoire as a medium. The cost would be that if Yu didn't use magic, she wouldn't be able to use the power of'Spirit Words,' while Kurumi would gain Yu's'Spirit Words' power. This trade-off was actually very beneficial for both Kurumi and Yu.
While Kurumi was working hard to solve Yu's problem, in another world, a big shot was taking her child out for a stroll.
"Adam, see? This is your Mother Goddess. My favorite is her shy expression in bed."
As an old driver, Alaya wasn't worried at all about corrupting the child. At that moment, she proudly spoke to Adam, who was already twelve years old, and took out a memory stone. The differing time flow rates between worlds had led to this situation. After Zeus handed the child over to Alaya, Alaya moved the child to another world to raise. She waited five days in a world with a slower time flow before picking up Adam, who was now twelve years old.
So convenient... my foot! This person hadn't taken care of the child at all, just like parents who abandon their child for over a decade without a second thought.
The precocious Adam glanced disdainfully at her 'Father God.' This person turned into a chatterbox whenever Mother Goddess was mentioned. And Adam had never seen Mother Goddess before—what did she even look like? Thinking of this, a few clear tears couldn't help but fall from Adam's adorable face. Wiping them away silently, she turned her gaze to the memory stone.
"Well, isn't your Mother Goddess beautiful? Let me tell you, I risked my life to sneak a peek at the moment she became the God King. Her posture at that moment captivated me instantly, and I swore then that I must have her."
Although Alaya was blabbering on, Adam didn't listen at all. Her attention was completely captivated by the figure on the memory stone.
On the memory stone, Zeus was wearing her 'God King Attire.' The bikini-like, revealing God King Attire accentuated her figure without holding anything back. What should have been an extremely seductive and provocative outfit was instead rendered sacred and pure by the twelve pairs of light wings behind her. This 'God King Attire' truly made one marvel at the designer's thoughtful intentions (Gaia: Meow meow.), seamlessly blending the wearer's two contrasting temperaments without any conflict.
"Perfect."
This was the first word Adam could think of.
"Beautiful."
"Love."
Various thoughts suddenly popped into Adam's mind.
"Mother Goddess, where are you?"
Enchanted, Adam reached out to touch the figure on the memory stone, but her hand passed through empty air.
"This is my treasure, don't even think about it. Kid, wanting to touch my wife? You're still too green."
Alaya's detestable (from Adam's perspective) big face appeared in front of Adam. Adam turned her head away with an unhappy expression. Indeed, she really disliked this Father God.
"Alright, alright. You still need to grow and train. When the time comes, we'll go pick up your Mother Goddess together."
Casually ruffling Adam's adorable little head, Alaya gazed at the twinkling stars in the void, speaking somewhat absentmindedly to the young Adam.
Swatting away the hand on her head, Adam nodded, but who knew what thoughts were in her heart?
