Today's dinner is hot pot.
When there are many people, hot pot, which is convenient and fast and can bring people closer together, becomes the first choice.
Of course, Xiao Lin bought the ingredients.
In order to make Mimi eat better, he deliberately bought a lot of expensive ingredients, and even bought expensive bubble wine at Aqua's request.
However, Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma didn't have much appetite.
"Honey, I heard people say that cabbage can beautify the skin, so leave the meat to me."
"Oh, my husband, you are the one. Your hair has become thinner and thinner recently. You should eat more sea vegetables and salads."
As you can see, the love between the couple is displayed in front of them, and they are full of dog food.
...It should be dog food, right?
Sad with a little bit of dissatisfaction.
Just let Liu Zi feed herself and let them eat some dog food.
Xiao Lin thought with malice in his heart.
The eldest daughter, Darkness, was probably sitting on such a small table for the first time, so she looked very reserved and her movements were quite elegant.
Mimi, who has a small appetite, played around with Aqua, who drank a little too much, and formed a partnership in a short time. They performed messy banquet skills for everyone and received a round of applause.
Hui Hui was fast asleep beside her.
But no one in her family, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was worried about her, and all their attention was focused on the sumptuous dinner.
How underappreciated are you?
"Hey, Mr. Xiaolin, this maid is also your companion, doesn't she need to eat? You're welcome, please come and enjoy it together."
Pyozaburo was referring to Liu Zi who was sitting far away.
As a doll girl who relies on gears to move, she doesn't need food or air.
Did it really cause a misunderstanding?
"Thank you for your concern, Master Pyozaburo. I am a doll girl. Unlike the fragile, lowly humans who will die if they don't eat for seven days, I can keep moving as long as my gears are not damaged."
Liu Zi thanked her politely, but the venomous words that followed dumbfounded Megumin's family, who didn't have a clear understanding of her.
Kazuma Sato, who knew it might be abrupt, subconsciously wanted to explain.
"No, actually this is..."
"Sister, you're so awesome! If you don't eat, won't you be hungry?"
The little loli Mimi opened her eyes wide and looked at the elegant and quiet poisonous girl with admiration. At the same time, she hoped that it would be great if she had such powerful skills.
Hey, what's going on?
Pyozaburo put down his wine glass naturally and laughed loudly: "I see, this lady has transcended human beings and reached this level. She is worthy of being Mr. Xiaolin's companion. I am really ashamed of myself."
Not at all!
Sato Kazuma looked like a dead fish.
Then I remembered that the Crimson Demons were all a group of chuunibyou. I must have thought that what Liu Zi said was some kind of setting.
I was really nervous for nothing.
Pyozaburo told his wife to leave some food just in case. On the surface, it was because she was afraid that Megumin would be hungry when she woke up, but in fact, she definitely kept Ryuji's share.
A serious tough guy who is unexpectedly considerate.
This is just a small episode in the enjoyable dinner time.
After a long time, I recalled the scene of eating with my family when I was still in another world. I forgot about the rush during this period and enjoyed the meal comfortably.
Very homey.
After the meal, they did not leave.
Piao Saburo kept pulling Xiao Lin and asked about the detailed process of making prank props and how to sell them.
To be honest, Kobayashi is not good at these.
However, he couldn't resist Piao Sanlang's excessive enthusiasm, so he held his hand tightly and refused to let go, so he had no choice but to be patient and accompany him.
However, Xiao Lin underestimated himself.
He thought that there was nothing new and creative for a long time, but after casually speaking, it opened the door to a new world for Pyozaburo, and countless fantastic ideas burst out in this dilapidated stable room.
"In other words, Mr. Kobayashi plans to classify magic items into toys?"
"Yes. Best used for harmless pranks."
"Then a sense of novelty is needed."
"Mr. Kyozaburo is right."
Even if he is making weird props, he is a master maker and can grasp the key points in an instant.
Regardless of whether the magic item is weird or not, it is a good magic item if it can be used.
But the trick props are different. Classified as toys, their role in combat is eliminated first, so the desire to buy them—the sense of novelty is infinitely heightened.
Launch novel toys frequently.
This is a big challenge for Pyo Saburo.
"Don't worry, how many magic items do you think I have made so far?"
As if he could see Xiaolin's worries, Pyozaburo was very confident.
They were obviously a bunch of scraps and weird magic props, but when they came out of his mouth, they sounded like some rare and exotic objects. As expected of a Crimson Demon, he has a really tough mouth.
Xiao Lin just smiled and did not expose him.
After all, he was the father of his companion, so he still had to save some face. Even if Yunyu's father wrote a letter to scare them, it would be fine with him, right?
Unlike Kyozaburo who focuses on creation, Megumin's mother Weiwei is more concerned about how to sell.
"It's okay to make it, but how to sell it?"
There was no small amount of worry in her tone.
This is also a problem that has troubled them for a long time.
Production is important, but sales are even more important. Otherwise, failure to recover the cost will affect subsequent research and development. This is also the main reason why the Huihui family has gradually become poor and desolate.
"Ms. Weiwei, please rest assured that I have professional sales channels."
Xiao Lin is confident.
Immediately told them Axel, the magic tool shop they had a cooperative relationship with - Wiz's magic tool shop.
Barnier might be disgusted with it. After all, they are a magic tools store, not a toy store, but what if Xiaolin tells him that he is willing to cooperate with them and open another toy store?
No need to pay, you can hire him yourself and even give him half of the profit.
Presumably the money-hungry devil would agree without saying a word.
In addition to making money, it can also alleviate the shop owner's habit of spending money to buy everything.
"As for whether Axel's Novice Village agrees to sell prank props, please don't worry about that. I still have some connections."
My female knight is the lord's daughter, so she can open a shop with a few words.
The worst that can happen is handing over some of the benefits.
There is nothing to feel bad about, we are all a family anyway, it’s just that the left hand is the right hand.
"And... it's not just Axel's Novice Village. To be honest, I also have hundreds of millions of connections in Alcanredia."
"Alcanretia? Could it be that very famous hot spring town?"
"Yeah, actually we've been there before."
You can guess this from the hot spring sweet steamed buns given as souvenirs.
It just so happened that a big wave of craze was about to hit the hot spring town. How could he not ride this big wave?
Whether Jesta would agree or not was completely out of his consideration, because he knew that as long as he mentioned Aqua's name, the other party would be eager to help sell it, even for free.
"Is it is it!"
Piao Saburo couldn't help nodding.
He really wanted to show a calm look, but the raised corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than the explosive magic. It was obvious how excited he was.
Ms. Wei Wei smiled naturally and gently.
But the satisfied look on Xiao Lin's face with a smile made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Then the start-up capital..."
"I can probably come up with 500 million Eris."
"5, 500 million...?!"
Piao Saburo's voice trembled.
It seems that he didn't expect there to be so many. He probably thought that at most he would spend hundreds of thousands to test the water, and it might only be one million to break the sky.
Kazuma Sato misunderstood.
Having seen how expensive magic items were sold in Wiz's shop, and being used to spending money lavishly, he thought that Pyozaburo felt that 500 million Eris was a bit too little, so he said:
"Soon I will also receive 300 million Eris. If it is not enough, I can also contribute."
"3. 300 million..."
"But if we sell the equipment collected by Senior Xiaolin, we will probably get 1 billion Eris. The most expensive one is undoubtedly the mecha. Many people have offered incredibly high prices."
"——?!"
Piaozaburo and his wife have lost their minds.
Xiao Lin sensed something was wrong, held his shoulders, and said with a kind face: "Sato-kun, I felt something was wrong when I was fighting the orcs. Why do you know the price of my collection? In addition, my cherished set of Mecha, didn’t you do anything you shouldn’t have done?”
"No, no...oh!"
Sato Kazuma tilted his head, not daring to look at Xiaolin's face.
Good guy!
I thought you were the most trustworthy kid, but I didn’t expect that you dared to consider those equipments. I feel heartbroken that my old father’s collection was stolen and sold by his stupid son.
Xiaolin's uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
"No, I want to go back to the mansion and have a look."
"Mansion?!" X2
The timing of the conversation between Kyozaburo and his wife was very clever.
"Mr. Xiaolin, the mansion is..."
"Because there are a lot of people in the team, I bought a mansion in Axel for convenience. It's not a big deal..."
"Bought a mansion?!" X2
The two screamed again, with no intention of caring about their daughter who was still sleeping.
It’s just a mansion worth six million. Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? ...He would not say such silly things, at least not to the Megumin family who lived in a stable-like house.
Sato Kazuma indicated with his eyes that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, while Kobayashi replied that it was not because of your raised eyebrows.
After a quick wink and wink.
Xiao Lin stood up and said: "It's getting late, it's time to rest. There's no need to stay overnight. It seems like your home can't accommodate so many people."
"Wait, Mr. Xiaolin, stay here for the night!"
"Huh? I should have said that your family cannot accommodate so many people..."
"So I invite you to stay overnight!"
"Are you listening?"
Weiwei held his shoulders.
The strength used was a bit exaggerated, not at all like the professional standard of the Crimson Demon Tribe's Great Mage.
"Mr. Xiaolin is my daughter's companion and friend. It is natural for you to stay overnight. Please allow us to show our friendship as landlords!"
"Let's do it! Mimi, you and your parents will sleep in this living room together today! The other three girls will sleep in our dormitory together! But our house is so small, the only room in the room is the living room and us The rest of the dormitory is the room where Hui Hui used to sleep... It seems too small to accommodate you two... Husband, you might as well consider remodeling it..."
The more they talked, the more exaggerated they became, and they were really a little frightened.
If Xiao Lin lets go, they may really do such a thing if their minds get hot.
"No, it's not necessary...it's really not necessary!"
Sato Kazuma couldn't hold himself any longer and quickly stopped the two of them.
Megumi's parents could not refuse the hospitality, so they had no choice but to stay here.
Eventually it became Kobayashi, Sato Kazuma and Kiyosaburo, and the three of them lived in the living room. Four women, Aqua, Darkness, Ryuji, and Yui, lived in the dormitory, while Mimi and Megumin lived in the same room.
This is the most reasonable arrangement.
Soon it was bedtime.
As the most distinguished guest, Xiao Lin was the first to take a bath.
Since Huihui's house is relatively small, it doesn't have the large bathtub equipped in a luxury house, which is a little uncomfortable. However, with Liu Zi's service, there is another kind of fun.
As soon as they came out, they heard Darkness scolding: "What stupid thing are you doing! Don't you love your daughter at all? What you plan to do is no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!"
Hey, could it be that...? !
Xiao Lin seemed to notice something.
He walked quickly to the living room, leaned against the thin wall, and peeked inside.
I saw Aqua, Sato Kazuma, and others, including Kyozaburo, all lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.
The few people who were shouting excitedly before taking a shower obviously couldn't fall asleep so quickly. There must be some reason.
"what is the relationship?"
Ms. Wei Wei raised the corner of her mouth: "You have been living together under the same roof before, and nothing happened. In this case, there is no problem at all. My daughter is old enough to get married, and Mr. Xiao Lin is also a Adults who know right from wrong, good and evil... If something happens, it will be between the two of them, right? In this case, as her mother, I won't say anything."
As expected, Weiwei planned to betray her daughter.
"Speaking of which, why is Miss Darkness so opposed to it? What inconvenience would it cause to you, Mr. Kobayashi, to sleep with your little girl?"
"me……!"
That's right, just say it, Darkness!
As long as you say it, all problems will be solved!
Xiao Lin, who was hiding behind the door, cheered her on.
This kind of situation is really not suitable for him to come forward, otherwise he would definitely rush in and stop it.
"I, I...sss-sssss-!"
For some reason, the perverted female knight suddenly folded her arms and started panting violently.
Is she thinking about some weird play? !
Wake up, Darkness!
Wei Wei covered her cheek in distress.
"Ah la, ah la ah... It's really a headache. My little girl wrote a letter before saying that she would follow Mr. Xiaolin for the rest of her life and let him raise her own. Unexpectedly, Miss Darkness..."
That’s not love, that’s a long-term meal ticket!
Xiao Lin curled his lips.
Seeing Darkness's reaction, she must have understood.
give up.
One cannot, at least one should not.
So stop now and pretend that nothing happened.
It's good for you, me, and everyone... Wait, wait, wait, mother, what are you doing?
"Sleep."
I saw Weiwei using sleep magic on the unsuspecting perverted female knight, causing Darkness, who was still panting and muttering words that made people blush, to immediately silence herself, then collapse to the ground and fall into a deep sleep.
"It's really a headache. I'm obviously a conservative."
They are conservatives who think radicals are too conservative, right?
Darkness' reaction just now should be easy to understand!
Why……
"Mr. Kobayashi, could you please help send Miss Darkness and the others back to their rooms?"
Wei Wei said softly to the door.
It seemed that she had discovered Xiao Lin a long time ago. Did she deliberately let him hear her by not reacting?
Sorry, I'm a good person.
Xiao Lin said nothing, turned around and walked outside.
The next second, his shoulders were held down.
In order to keep her golden husband, Wei Wei actually used teleportation!
"Wait a moment, Mr. Xiaolin, where are you going?"
"Actually, I made an appointment with the village chief of the Red Demon Clan to discuss something, so..."
"It's getting late today, and the village chief has already gone to bed. If something happens, we can go there tomorrow morning. It's better to go to bed now."
Excuses blocked.
Obviously I can't be kind today.
