"Well, Charles, the grilled fish in front of you is ready to eat."

Xingyan nodded. Since the other party insisted, he must be Xiaer.

As for the real Charles...

It is hard to say who the resurrected soul is after the body that died on the altar is resurrected.

Anyway, that's all in the future. Now that Grimmjow often disturbs the retired God of Death, it's hard to say whether this experiment will be successful or not.

"Ah? I didn't burn it?"

Charles picked up the grilled fish and placed it on a plate. He stared at it for a few more seconds and found that it was indeed not burnt.

He took a careful bite and it definitely didn't taste as good as what Xingyan made, but he felt his mood instantly improved.

He was also able to grill a fish without burning it, and this sudden sense of accomplishment made him feel for a moment that he could change the future.

But it was only for a moment, and he soon remembered that this was just the simplest baking process, and the result was not very good, it just didn't get burnt.

...

...

The initial segmentation, adding materials, charcoal fire, and all the tools...

All of this was possible thanks to the efforts of the Duke, who only managed to produce a small piece of edible food after destroying a lot of pickled ingredients.

"Regarding what you asked me before, regarding business, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"

Xingyan looked at Xiaer, who had calmed down after being excited, and suddenly brought up business matters.

"What kind of business does His Excellency the Duke want?"

Although he still doesn't understand it very well now, Ciel is already learning under Sebastian's arrangement.

If we can cooperate with the Earl, even if we lose money, we can make up for it with other benefits.

"Your family is in the toy and candy business, would you like to give me one of your businesses?"

Xingyan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiaer opposite him with a not-so-innocent smile.

This is not about negotiating business, this is about directly trying to seize someone else's territory.

"Actually... my family's business hasn't started yet..."

Charles was also dumbfounded, as his family's previous business was almost gone.

The candy business can still be maintained for now, but the toy business is his dream, which has not been actually implemented so far.

He told the Earl about it at that time because he was sure that he would do it, and also to show that his house was not as useless as that ruin.

"I know, so I'm asking you to give me one item. To put it more clearly, you can open your favorite toy store in my name. All the management rights and benefits will be yours, but the things on the name and documents will be mine."

Xingyan's request was to ask Xiaer to work for him.

Although everything still belonged to Ciel, if he wanted, he could always have someone take over.

Even though Charles didn't know much about business, he could tell from this request that it was a trap. It all depended on the Duke's mood to determine how long he could hold on to the benefits.

However, he found that he could not say no in front of the Duke.

"sure!"

Although he felt a little sad and helpless, after accepting this, Charles felt that it was not without benefits.

At least as far as the toy store is concerned, anyone who wants to cause trouble under the name of the Uchiha family must first think about what the consequences will be.

"Then it's settled, Akagi. You'll take care of the toy store for me when needed."

Looking at Chi Tong who was standing not far away, Xing Yan handed the matter over to him to follow up.

As for the fact that Ciel hates cats...

"Ciel, since you are Ciel Phantomhive, from now on, your asthma cannot exist, you cannot continue to hate cats, and you cannot keep using this sick body."

Xingyan still has some materials collected by hunters. Although they are not enough to replace Charles' body, it will not be difficult if he just wants to cure his illness and solve some minor problems.

Before it was because there was no reason, but now it’s different.

This person works for him, so it is only natural for him to help out as long as it is not excessive.

"ah?"

Charles, who had no idea what was going on, was picked up by Akameki suddenly and then thrown into the pond.

Charles was completely stunned by this sudden fall into the water, but then he saw that the devil turned into a big black cat and pounced on him.

"Awake? Get up."

Xingyan stood beside the bed, looking at the woken Ciel, and waved for Chitong to come over and help the frightened boy put clothes on.

Although he had intended to scare him before, there was another reason, which was to let Ciel soak in the water for treatment.

However, Akagi's actions were truly brutal.

"Sure enough, I still can't like cats..."

Charles looked at the young man with cat ears who walked up to him and sighed sadly. He really had no interest in cats.

"But cats are cute..."

Xingyan listened to Ciel's muttering and tilted his head to move closer, trying to confirm whether this guy really had no love for cats at all.

"Hmm... So cute..."

Charles, who was holding the quilt and had not yet put on his clothes, turned his head and looked at the Duke in front of him, who was wearing cat pajamas and holding a cat mask in his hand. His whole face turned red in an instant.

"Master... eh? Such a lovely Duke!"

Sebastian had been unable to track Ciel, but now that he had finally recovered, he was immediately teleported over via the contract.

However, when he looked at the two humanoid cats beside Ciel's bed, especially the small one, his eyes instantly glowed red.

Cute, such a cute cat, a human-shaped cat, so exciting!

“Get lost!”

A foot wearing black high heels appeared in Sebastian's face and kicked him out of the window.

Not satisfied with just kicking him out, Akame threw Ciel's clothes on the floor, jumped out and chased after Sebastian to continue beating him up.

"It seems that you summoned him a little too early..."

Xing Yan's expression froze for a moment, then he sat down on the edge of the bed, tilted his head and leaned on his knees, looking towards the window.

In the situation just now, he didn't seem to do anything abnormal, right?

He was just acting cute in front of Ciel and then took out the cat mask he hadn't used for a long time.

So, Sebastian is a cat lover?

If you think about it carefully, it seems that this is what the original plot is about.

"My Lord Duke, I am sure that I like cats very much..."

Ciel listened to the fighting outside and looked at Xingyan with a smile. He was now sure that cats were very lovable creatures.

And, without the threat of asthma, he could also keep some cats around.

This way, he would have a reason to invite the Duke to his house.
