Kuriyama Mai didn't answer her. He just closed the curtains, turned on the lights, opened the refrigerator as if nothing happened, and asked:
"Are you hungry? Tomato, egg noodles or something? But if I do it, you will have to wash the dishes later."
He only had a bento at a convenience store to deal with it, and now his stomach was already hungry.
If I had known earlier, I would have eaten some set meals at the casino...
However, [Cooking B+] is not a decoration. A bowl of delicious tomato and egg noodles after being drunk is the best way to warm your stomach and relieve your hangover.
"Washing dishes? Eating noodles?"
Igarashi Yuto looked at him without looking angry at all, but how could he refuse?
"Is there something that makes Brother Pheasant dissatisfied?"
Igarashi Yuto asked Hayato who was rummaging in the refrigerator.
She mentally reviewed what exactly had gone wrong.
If Brother Pheasant is disgusted, he will be completely unable to complete the task assigned by the master...
Isn't he also interested in his own body...
But when I think of the determined expression on my master’s face, how could I go wrong...
Igarashi Yuden muttered to himself, standing timidly by the stairs with his head lowered like a pupil who made a mistake, motionless.
Kuriyama Mai was not in a hurry to answer her, but continued to ask:
"Do you really not want to eat noodles?"
Igarashi Yuto, who couldn't find the answer for the moment, had no choice but to shake her head. When she saw Hayato Yamazaki starting to mind his own business, she felt something was wrong.
You won't really be hated, right...
When she thought of this, she rushed to him with bare feet. Seeing Hayato Yamazaki peeling the tomatoes meticulously, she also took one out of the hot water basin.
"I'm here to help too~"
But Kuriyama Mai responded without raising his head:
"You want to eat too."
"Emm~" Yui Igarashi skillfully placed a peeled tomato in front of Hayato.
"No, I just want to help Brother Pheasant."
"Actually, if you stay here now, you only need to be obedient and not go out. Just pretend to be dead. There is no need to do so much."
Kuriyama Mai’s answer was very official.
Jie Deng tilted his head, narrowed his eyes and smiled innocently.
"It's okay. Helping Brother Pheasant makes me happy."
Something was wrong, Kuriyama Mai thought about it carefully and felt that she had no reason to please him.
It might be okay if this is a task given to her by her master, but if it is a habit she has developed since childhood, or to gain trust before taking her things back from her place...
Kuriyama Mai only felt a dull pain in her heart.
In order for her to truly 'awaken', she must at least put their status on an equal footing.
He stopped and took out the "munitions" from his inner pocket.
"Give this back to you."
He handed the SFP9 pistol into her hand.
"I can come and go freely here, there is no need to force myself."
Since she didn't leave all night, if she continued to put this thing on him, it would affect the trust between both parties.
"Ah?" Igarashi raised his face slightly, and along with the water vapor from the hot water basin, incredible white mist came out of his mouth.
She was still planning how to find an opportunity to take it back, but she didn't expect him to hand it over so casually.
Kuriyama Mai only rubbed her young head with a smile on her face:
"Your stun gun is very useful. Can you tell me where to buy it?"
"I also threw away those messy communication equipment of yours, but Brother Yufeng probably doesn't value them. I will compensate you no matter how much money you have."
Just relying on threats will bring danger to herself, so she must be willing to do so.
Living under the same roof, it is still too difficult to keep a close eye on these dead things, so why not let her see what she really thinks.
At least I didn't hear any rumors in the VIP room today that Igarashi Yufeng wanted to kill him.
With this girl's obedient temperament, she would not kill herself even if she had a weapon.
It's better to give her a favor so that she can use her subjective initiative.
"This..." Igarashi Yuedeng's little mind became even more confused, "Brother Pheasant, aren't you afraid that I will leave?"
Kuriyama Mai waved his hand naturally, "Why are you afraid?"
"But I said, this opportunity may only come once."
After all, relying on various means to force her to stay was not Kuriyama Mai's original intention.
He just wanted to liberate this oppressed girl as much as possible. Of course it would be better if she could transform into a comrade-in-arms, but only when her subjective initiative coincided with his own could she unleash her greatest abilities.
Seeing her big eyes turning hesitantly, Kuriyama Mai added another sentence.
"According to the information we gathered today, Brother Yufeng..." Kuriyama Mai curled his lips at her, making a show-off expression.
"What!"
Igarashi Yuto couldn't hide his excited and nervous expression, as if he was waiting for the results of the final exam.
"Nothing." Kuriyama Mai shrugged at her with a regretful expression.
"Various rumors say that he is having fun with Mrs. Qingkou. How could he care about characters like us."
"If you don't believe it, I have a recording. You should be able to hear your colleague's voice."
Igarashi Yufeng moved very quickly. In just one day, the horses in the VIP room tonight have been replaced by members of the Igarashi family.
There are not many, but they are full of spirit.
As for the people in the Qingguchi group, according to rumors, Igarashi Yufeng may have to inspect them one by one.
"That's it..."
Although it was an expected result, a bit of disappointment could be heard in Jie Deng's tone as he lowered his head and murmured.
"So..." Kuriyama Mai threw away the tomato in his hand and played a trick like a hydrangea. Igarashi's polite eyes were instantly attracted to him.
"You have to think about what you want to do most now? Just pleasing others is not enough~"
"Myself?" Igarashi was stunned for a while before he realized that this was the second time Brother Pheasant had asked him this question.
Her eyes peeked back and forth at Yamazaki Hayato, and from time to time she poked the side of her baby-fat side with the muzzle of her gun.
Although the answer gradually became clear in her heart, Yue Deng felt more and more embarrassed, and the cold barrel of the gun seemed unable to lower the temperature that was gradually rising on her cheeks.
Wouldn't it be nice to say it like this...
In Yue Deng's impression, speaking out about one's desires is a very shameful thing.
"The stun gun... I got it from the logistics department... I don't know the details."
"Those equipments...are not expensive at all."
The hesitant Igarashi Yuto could only hesitate and try to change the topic.
"Hmm~ I think I'm embarrassed to speak." Kuriyama Mai noticed her shyness and deliberately teased, "If you are an adult, I can promise to cooperate with you."
Even though the system had informed him that he was 19 years old, this kind of thing could not be easily revealed.
"That's...it's not like that..." Unexpectedly, Hayato turned an army against him. Yue Deng's little face turned red, and he lowered his head and moaned "Uuu~".
"I'm sleepy!"
Finally, Igarashi Yuedeng mustered up the courage to tell the answer in his heart.
It seemed that, apart from her master's smile on her, the thing that made her happiest was sleeping.
Especially lying in bed and not having to worry about anything feels so great.
However, as her master's ambitions grew, she had to be prepared for emergencies at any time, even in her sleep.
Even just now, she was only half asleep, ready to welcome Brother Pheasant back home at any time.
Kuriyama Mai didn't say much, but squeezed out a gentle smile and said:
"Oh, Smith~"
"Oh... Smith." The girl's eyes flashed with a different kind of light.
Brother Pheasant turns out to be more than just talk...
But when he reached the door of the room, Igarashi Yuto still looked back at Hayato Yamazaki who was busy in the kitchen.
"Brother Pheasant, leave breakfast to me tomorrow morning."
"No, no need." Kuriyama Mai waved his hand with a look of disgust, "When you want to sleep, you can wake up naturally. Don't disturb my rest by making your own decisions."
"good……"
A flash of surprise flashed before Igarashi Yuden's eyes, but a gentle smile immediately bloomed from the bottom of his heart.
Lying on the bed, she looked at the ceiling reflecting the moonlight and murmured in her heart:
"You won't be scolded if you say what you want to do?"
Rhythmic snoring began to wander around the room after a while, but Yue Deng's hand holding the pistol never relaxed.

After Kasuga Chinatsu took care of Konan to sleep, she walked to the bedroom, but her body unconsciously controlled her to walk to the study.
The book "Steel" prepared for Kuriyama Mai was lying quietly on the desk, and the memories of her childhood suddenly flooded into her mind like a Pandora's box had been opened.
From the dusty corner of the bookcase, she dug out "A Certain Theory", "The State and Revolution", "A Certain Selection", "General History of Modern Times" and various local materials written during the student movements of the last century.
The power of memories drove her to reopen these dusty books, and before she knew it, it was already late at night.
But in the end she shook her head and closed the last book.
Although it is the best long-cherished wish, it cannot be touched after all...
No matter who it is, they will eventually lose to reality without exception...
Kasuga Chinatsu sighed in her heart.
It was no longer suitable for her to keep these books. Although this ideal was still as attractive as the bright moonlight, she no longer felt that it was realistic.
Let's give them all back to my father another day. After all, even my father is still struggling...
Just as she was holding the book and preparing to put it back, another fantasy thought flashed through her mind.
Maybe it can actually be realized in someone's hands?
She patted the old covers and finally decided to hang them on the R original salted fish Mercari.
Even if they don't really come true, they can open up another way of thinking for people.
Fortunately, not long after Kasuga Chinatsu hung the book in the window, someone started asking her for advice.
It is a netizen named San Gei.
————
After enjoying his meal, Kuriyama Mai lay down comfortably on the bed.
But he felt that his brain was a little unclear, not because of alcohol, but because his brain was very messy and complicated.
He felt that there were many things he wanted to do, but he couldn't figure out a clear line.
Although he now seems to have weapons, supplies and comrades he can win over, he has not yet decided what banner to use to unite the organization.
Becoming the leader of Yanagihara Town?
That kind of structure is too small, and it won't be able to do anything big at all. It will just become Mitsui Kanon's thug.
Protect your dream?
It's too personal and too personal. Without a specific explanation, it's hard to convince others.
Against oppression? Realize a certain doctrine?
It is too false and empty, does not conform to the reality of Japan, and is too frivolous. It is difficult for people like Igarashi Yudeng and Jiuchengzhen to understand.
He didn't even understand it thoroughly. Maybe he should look for a book and read it.
Thinking of this, Kuriyama Mai couldn't help but smile knowingly.
This is the second time today that I have expressed the same emotion...
It would be too difficult for him to start from scratch, but it might be possible to add some of his own stuff based on previous experience.
With his mind determined, Kuriyama Mai opened the R book to try his luck. Although there was a period of movement in the R book in the last century, he didn't know how many old books could be left...
Maybe you have to go shopping in some second-hand bookstores.
After all, R has been turning right for many, many years...
But what was unexpected was that he found it as soon as he entered the keywords, and the seller was very complete.
This...can't be the same name...
Kuriyama Mai couldn't hide his surprise and looked at the phone screen with wide eyes.
Why does the minister still read this kind of book?
He sent the message tentatively.
[Gei: Why sell? This book is very rare in China]
[Chinatsu: Because they are currently impossible to realize, but just reading about them is quite eye-opening]
Listening to her tone, Kuriyama Mai was vaguely sure that it was her, but he still wanted to be sure.
[Gei: Why do you talk so much? Aren’t the songs always saying that XXX will definitely come true?]
[Chinatsu: Because it’s unfair]
[Gei:? 】
[Chinatsu: To realize this ideal, those who sacrifice the most often get nothing in return, while those who enjoy the results do nothing at all]
[Chinatsu: Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? 】
Kuriyama Mai only felt these words ringing in his ears like thunder.
The memory was instantly pulled back to the afternoon when I went to school in R Ben for the first time after my rebirth.
He pushed open the door of the activity room and saw the girl reading in the sunset.
For a moment, he felt like it had just happened.
It turns out that I misunderstood her at that time...
