Seeing her shy and cute look, Kuriyama Mai didn't ask too many questions. He leaned in front of her and asked softly:
"Xiaonan, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Li Shannan held the panda doll tightly to his chest with both hands, and said with strange-colored eyes nervously turning:
"Old...brother, I, no, I want...the origin of magic that tastes like blood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl looked at him with bright eyes.
"Oh?" His mind was spinning rapidly and he said tentatively:
"Then let's make steak tonight, and serve it with some tomatoes, broccoli and lettuce!"
"Heresy! That fruit from hell will affect the purity of magic in my body."
Xiaonan grabbed the doll with one hand and said awkwardly.
He couldn't help but smile, and said quickly:
"Then replace the tomatoes with cucumber strips."
Xiaonan nodded with satisfaction, and her twin ponytails immediately stood up:
"Well... my servant, please hurry up... and give me your blessings."
Kuriyama Mai didn't care whether her settings were a bit off-kilter, he just leaned over to her and winked and said:
"Wearing contact lenses at such a young age will affect your vision."
Xiaonan angrily put her hands on her waist, curled her lips and said:
"...Hmph, hey, you kid, how can you know the strength of my 'Golden True Eyes'? If you don't hurry up and prepare the source, if you contradict me here, I will definitely punish you from heaven."
"Ooooooo, I'm so scared~"
Kuriyama Mai made a face, patted Konan on the back and walked towards the door.
Xiaonan looked at his back with a strange expression, shook the panda doll in her hand, and then plucked up the courage to shout towards the door:
"Brother, no, Archer, please prepare tomatoes, huh~ A crowned magician has no weaknesses. Today I will personally refine this fruit of hell!"

Kuriyama Mai successfully found fresh-cut steak and matching spiced vegetables at the convenience store, and also bought some food and drinks that were easy to store.
But when he was paying, a cashier with short hair and a cute high school student look at him like a robber with fear on his face and said:
"The total is... ten thousand... no, twenty thousand..."
Kuriyama Mai looked like she couldn't figure it out for a long time, and just glanced at her casually. She took two steps back, bowed vigorously, and said at the speed of a machine gun:
"I have caused trouble to you this time. You are welcome to come again next time."
It turns out that this face can be used to collect protection money. Kuriyama Mai didn't want to be regarded as a gangster, so he calculated it and said seriously:
"The total is 20,780 yen."
He immediately handed out three 10,000-yen bills, but even so, the cashier girl's hands were shaking when she was giving change.
Walking out of the convenience store, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. There were only a few people who could appreciate the fierce bad boys. How could he earn excitement points in the long term?
For the time being, Chinatsu and Kasuga can only cultivate slowly and gradually. When they will be profitable depends on fate.
He was thinking and scrolling through his phone aimlessly.
Suddenly, a familiar icon came into view.
TikTok!
Thinking that with this thing, the advantages could be multiplied and the disadvantages could be covered up infinitely, so he immediately put the dishes on a bench by the roadside and started shooting a short video.
As long as you choose the filter well, his hair can become shiny, and his vicious eyes can be sharpened to a deep depth. Then you can choose a recently popular BGM and add hot topics. All that is left is to wait for the heart-stopping value to come to your door. .
Although it is difficult to impress a girl with high charm, a celebrity said that when the quantity is high enough, it is also a kind of quality.
"I'm back!"
"...Jie Jie Jie, I'm finally back, my servant..."
"Nearly three years and six months have passed... I don't have much magic power left, so I can barely maintain my current form."
Kuriyama Minami was nestled on the sofa watching animation, her slender calves dangling cutely without touching the ground.
"Wait a moment, the origin summoning also takes time, Master."
Kuriyama Mai, who was in a good mood, replied in her own language.
"Humph..." Xiaonan tilted her head and flicked her twin tails, and continued to be immersed in the TV.
Chuunibyou is a thing that only high school students would feel ashamed of, and it was just right for someone like him who was already an adult in his previous life, or a 13-year-old Xiaonan.
[Heartbeat value +1]
[Heartbeat value +0.5]
Kuriyama Mai, who had just started cooking, received good news from the system. It seemed that as long as TikTok did not limit the flow, he would be able to buy up all the skills in the system sooner or later.
What he planned to cook tonight was lemon steak. He first used kitchen paper to absorb the moisture from the steak, and then evenly seasoned it with sea salt and black pepper.
While the beef absorbs the flavor of the marinade, he grinds the lemon zest into a powder and prepares the rosemary, garlic and butter.
At this time, we will prepare tonight's vegetables. After cooking the broccoli and letting it cool, we mix it with the cut cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce to make a simple salad.
At this time, the steak was almost marinated, so he started to heat the pan and spray some base oil with a spray bottle. The [Cooking B+] ability allowed him to easily control the grilling time of each piece of steak. He wanted to cook the steak as much as possible while bringing out the fresh taste. Ripe.
After the steak is cooked, the spices and butter are poured over low heat and slowly poured over the meat to allow it to fully absorb the flavor. After the steak is finally shaped and plated, squeeze some lemon juice on the steak for freshness.
Sure enough, the rich aroma of the kitchen had already attracted Xiao Nan, and she nodded in a mature manner:
"As expected of my servant, the magic power replenished today is very pure."
Kuriyama Mai, who was loading the plates, also reminded me happily:
"After three minutes of waking up the meat, you can eat it."
"Hmph~ Poor magic, thank you for your hard work..."
She said the last three words very quickly. After saying that, she swung her golden ponytail and turned towards the dinner table.
Kuriyama Mai brought the four fried steaks and salad to the table. Xiaonan's eyes were already filled with shining anticipation, and she didn't know when she took off her contact lenses.
"I'll start."
"Sure enough, the taste of blood is so special..."
Although the middle part of the medium-rare steak will be a little tender when cut, it is still fairly cooked overall.
Seeing that she was eating well and her white and tender cheeks were bulging very cutely, Kuriyama Mai raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly:
"Konan, why do you suddenly want to participate in the Holy Grail War?"
"Last night, while I was eating hot pot and singing, I was suddenly summoned by you."
Li Shannan finally swallowed the beef in his mouth and coughed twice before saying:
"It seems that evil magic has not been completely eliminated...my stupid servant..."
She suddenly stood up and declared like a king:
"I am Livian~Feng~Einzbern, but I am a crowned magician. Ahem~ You are lucky to be summoned...to participate in the Holy Grail War was a decision made ten thousand years ago. Don't bother yourself."
"Wow~ Master is so amazing. He was famous ten thousand years ago." Kuriyama Mai replied with an exaggerated expression.
"Hmph~ Don't be arrogant, modesty is... it is..."
"It's..."
"very sour!"
Seeing Konan standing and shaking her head for a long time without coming up with a suitable setting, Kuriyama Mai quietly picked up a piece of tomato salad and brought it to her mouth.
"Great Master, it's time to refine this hell fruit." He added.
Xiaonan closed her eyes tightly, sat down reluctantly, chewed as if she wanted to cry, but managed to squeeze out a few words:
"Delicious!"
"Don't force yourself. The reason why adults are not picky eaters is because they only buy the food they like. Children have no choice but to be picky eaters." Kuriyama Mai consoled her.
Xiao Nan frowned and swallowed, and said harshly:
"Stupid! I am a 10,000-year-old crown magician, how can I be afraid of this little hell berry!"
As soon as Xiaonan finished speaking, she stabbed a piece of tomato with a fork and threw it into her mouth, but not a second passed.
"very sour!!!"
"Brother! So sour!"
She couldn't bear it anymore and vomited on the table. When she saw Kuriyama Mai's eyes coming over, she blushed at first, then slowly returned to her normal demeanor and said:
"...That...that, I spent too much magic power to expel the darkness for you, so the Hell Berry... took advantage of it..."
Kuriyama Mai forced to hold back his smile and said:
"Master is so brave."
What he didn't expect was that after Xiaonan finished eating two 250g steaks and a bowl of vegetable salad, she pouted and looked at him eagerly and said:
"Is there any magic source that can be replenished?"
Kuriyama Mai herself felt a little stretched at 178 and 145 pounds. She didn't expect that her weak-looking sister could eat so well.
He had no choice but to look like "I can't do anything to you":
"I'll go make a bowl of noodles."
"Hehe, the magic power required to be a crown magician is not something that a little guy like you can compare with."
Just as he was preparing the condiments, another cover recommendation appeared in front of him.
[Name: Mitsui Kanon]
【Charm: S-】
[Information: The eldest daughter of the current head of the Mitsui Consortium is in danger and needs rescue]
[Location: Next to the warehouse 500 meters to the right of the south gate of Shiba Park, Minato City]
After looking at the location, it would only take less than ten minutes to take a luxurious taxi.
Kuriyama Mai is a little ready to make a move. According to the suspension bridge effect, when encountering danger, the opposite sex is most likely to be tempted.
Maybe it's time to try and see if he can make an S-level girl's heart flutter. After all, when he was empty in his previous life, flirting with girls was his greatest pleasure.
