Ai turned to her older sister, her little face beaming with excitement: "I'm going back to the lab to research this right now! I'm skipping breakfast!"

"No." Akemi gently but firmly pressed down on her shoulder. "Eat breakfast first."

"Let me go! I need to do the experiment!"

Ai struggled, trying to break free from her older sister's grip.

Mingmei smiled slightly, the power of the Ox Talisman flowing through her body, easily lifting the struggling little girl up: "I said, let's eat breakfast first."

Ai: "......"

She glared angrily at her sister, but faced with the absolute power of the Ox Talisman, she could only obediently admit defeat: "I-I know! Put me down!"

Hanyu Nan and Shimabukuro Kimie couldn't help but chuckle as they watched.

The little maid is best at persuading people with reason.

As for the logic behind it, that's hard to say.

"Alright, everyone, come and eat." Mingmei lifted her younger sister by the back of the neck and placed her in front of the table, then turned to get breakfast. "I specially made chicken soup today to nourish Miss Junhui."

Kimie Shimabukuro's face flushed red: "Th-thank you..."

Ai pouted and muttered under her breath, "Beast..."

Hanyu Nan pretended not to hear and happily sat down at the table to enjoy the breakfast that Akemi had carefully prepared.

...

At the dining table, Shimabukuro Kimie carefully touched her cat ears, then looked at Hanyu Nanami and asked softly, "My God... how long will this last?"

"You can remove it anytime you want." Yuzuru smiled and took a sip of soup. "But I think it's quite cute, so keeping it isn't bad either?"

"Woo..." Junhui's cat ears twitched as she lowered her head to eat, but a smile quietly crept onto her lips.

—Being liked by the gods, she was willing to maintain even her strange form.

......

After breakfast, Ai finally got the authorization from the shrine maiden and received the monkey charm from her, so she could begin her "scientific research".

"First, test localized animalization..."

She stared intently at the talisman.

Yuzuru suddenly had a bad feeling.

Three minutes later—

"Ai Haibara! Change my slippers back!"

"No, hamster slippers are so cute."

"Is this what you call cute?"

Yuzuru pointed at the slipper, whose head had been enhanced to resemble a hamster and was running around everywhere, and looked up at the sky speechlessly. This was not cute at all; this was just a bit weird.

"You don't understand, that's just how science works."

The little girl made a solemn vow, just like someone else.

Faced with this situation, the person had no choice but to resort to their ultimate weapon.

"Mingmei~"

"You've arrived, young master Yuzuru."

"......"

The deity's villa is as lively as ever today.

.........

The younger sister's natural enemy is always the older sister.

After Akemi's "education on love," Ai could only sullenly take the monkey charm and the shrine maiden upstairs to take the test.

Seeing the two figures leave, Akemi shook her head, walked up to Yuusuke, stood on tiptoe slightly, and gently smoothed the collar of his clothes that he had messed up when he was playing with Ai. Her eyes were focused and gentle.

"Young Master Yuzuru is always so careless about his image," she scolded softly, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "He is clearly a god in Miss Junhui's eyes, yet he acts like a big boy."

Yu Shengnan looked down at her face, which was so close to his own, and smelled the faint scent of shampoo in her hair. Mingmei's eyelashes cast small shadows in the morning light, and her pink lips were slightly pursed, making her look particularly serious.

"With Mingmei around, why would I need to pay attention to these things?"

He deliberately moved closer and grinned mischievously.

Akemi's ears turned slightly red, but her hands didn't stop moving at all: "That won't do. As your maid, I must dress the young master properly."

She took a half step back, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, pulled a bottle of milk from her apron pocket.

"By the way, young master, you used up so much energy last night, you should replenish your nutrition." She skillfully inserted a straw and held it to Yu Shengnan's lips. "This is fresh milk that was just delivered this morning."

Just as Yuzuru was about to take it, Akemi playfully dodged his hand: "Oh dear, young master's hand was scratched red by Ai's ferret form just now, wasn't it? I'll hold it."

She gently pressed the straw to Yuzuru's lips, a sly glint in her eyes.

Yuzuru obediently put the straw in his mouth and took a sip.

The sweet aroma of milk spreads in your mouth, accompanied by a slight coolness, making you feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Hmm...the milk tastes especially sweet today."

He looked meaningfully at the little maid in front of him.

Akemi pretended not to understand his hint, but a blush had already crept onto her cheeks: "I-Is that so? Maybe it's a new ranch..."

“No,” Yuzuru suddenly grabbed her hand holding the milk and took another sip in that position. “Is it because Akemi held it herself? It’s been imbued with the maid’s gentle scent.”

"Young Master Yuzuru~ Please don't say such embarrassing things..."

Akemi looked shy.

Yu Shengnan let go of her hand with a mischievous smile: "Then Akemi, have a sip too. You've worked hard making such a lavish breakfast."

Akemi hesitated for a moment, then took a small sip through the same straw. Her heart was pounding, not only because of the indirect kiss, but also because of the excitement she felt from the self-inflicted kiss.

"Is it good?" Yuzuru asked, leaning closer.
