Yuzuru found Ai's bitter and resentful look amusing, so he casually picked up a cute little cookie from the tray that Shimabukuro Kimie was holding next to him and threw it into his mouth.

The cookies melt in your mouth, with a rich milky aroma and a perfect touch of sweetness, which seems to lift your spirits.

[Bear Biscuit: Happiness +5]

The enhanced taste and emotional effects brought by the food cells are still fantastic.

"Mmm! It tastes amazing!"

Hanyu Nan gave Shimabukuro Kimie a thumbs up, "Kimi, you've improved so fast! It seems you've completely mastered the essence of the Gourmet Cell Baking Oven."

However, after he finished praising her, he noticed that his mistress's expression seemed a little... subtly unnatural.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Akemi, standing next to her, couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth as she kindly reminded her, her eyes full of mischievous amusement:

"Young Master Yuzuru, you've got the wrong one~ This is the new dish that Junhui just tried making."

"The one you're eating... is a half-finished cookie mold that Xia Mei left behind when she came over to play this morning. We just used it to bake a few cookies to test the results..."

Yuzuru: "..."

His hand, which was outstretched in mid-air, ready to grab another cookie, froze instantly, standing there stiffly.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and the air suddenly went quiet.

But who exactly is Yuzuru Hanyu?

Having been through countless battles, his skin is as thick as a corner of a city wall.

As long as he's not embarrassed, it's everyone else who's embarrassed!

The next second, without changing his expression, he naturally changed the direction of his hand and precisely picked up a delicate-looking cookie from the plate that Akemi was holding, and put it in his mouth.

"Click".

The cookies are crisp and delicious, with the aroma of butter and flour blended perfectly, and the taste is impeccable, just as Junhui normally does.

As I was chewing, a strange elasticity inexplicably appeared in my mouth, and then—

"puff".

A huge, pink bubble blew out of his mouth, like blowing chewing gum, and almost covered half of his face.

"..."

Even Ai, who had been pretending to be focused on her homework, couldn't help but look up and glance at him, her lips twitching slightly, almost breaking character.

Yuzuru calmly chewed the bubble back up and praised Shimabukuro Kimie again in a serious tone, "Hmm, this effect is also great! You can blow bubbles, it's very interesting and creative, breaking the stereotype of traditional cookies! Kimie, you're a genius!"

The deity's attempt to save face and his forced praise, though somewhat exaggerated, successfully brought a happy and shy smile to the initially embarrassed shrine maiden.

For her, gaining the approval and praise of the gods was more important than anything else, even if the praise sounded a little strange.

As for who made the cookies and whether the results were as expected... well, that's not important.

If the gods say it's good, then it's good!

Seeing the shrine maiden's radiant smile return, Yuzuru secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, had high emotional intelligence, and was incredibly witty.

Otherwise, I almost dampened my shrine maiden's precious enthusiasm for studying cooking. My apologies.

Yuzuru picked up another "bubble cookie" and put it in his mouth. This time, he mastered the technique. Instead of chewing it immediately, he skillfully rolled the cookie with the tip of his tongue, feeling it melt in his mouth and produce a peculiar, elastic gel.

He puffed out his cheeks slightly, then blew out—

"Puff——"

A larger, rounder pink bubble, almost half the size of his head, was born.

"Wow!"

Akemi let out a soft exclamation, "It really can blow up really big!"

Even Ai, who was originally focused on struggling with her homework, couldn't help but lift her eyelids again, a hint of surprise and... a barely perceptible eagerness flashing in her icy blue eyes.

Is your young master grown up?

Yuzuru spoke indistinctly, his voice muffled as he blew bubbles. He shook his head, and the large bubble trembled and swayed along with him.

The little maid clapped her hands enthusiastically, smiling brightly: "Big, so big! Young Master Yuzuru is always the biggest and most amazing!"

Looking at the interesting cookie she had "unintentionally" created, Kimie Shimabukuro smiled with surprise and couldn't resist taking one to try.

A slightly smaller but equally perfect bubble appeared successfully.

"It's a success!"

Junhui said in a low voice with delight.

Mingmei found it fun and joined the "bubble blowing" army. For a moment, a rather peculiar scene appeared in the living room—three adults were chewing on cookies like little children, and then blowing bubbles of different sizes and pinkish color one after another.

"Pfft pfft..."

"Puff..."

"Pop!" (That's the sound of a bubble bursting)

Yuzuru Hanyu, feeling playful, tried to blow an unprecedentedly huge bubble, but he didn't control his strength well. With a crisp "pop," the bubble burst, and a little pink, milky-sweet gel stuck lightly to the tip of his nose and cheeks.

It made him look a bit ridiculous.

"Hahaha!"

Mingmei finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Junhui also covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking slightly, her eyes curving into crescents.

Even Ai, who was originally buried in her homework and exuding an aura of "Do not disturb homework, or you will die," couldn't help but raise her head for the third time, a hint of curiosity and... struggle flashing in her icy blue eyes.

She watched her older sister and the shrine maiden play like two children, watched those silly pink bubbles that kept being created and bursting, and then looked at the mountain of homework piled up in front of her, which seemed to never be finished.
