Yuzuru clearly felt that his vision seemed to have become clearer, and then he glanced at the LCD screen on the baking oven.
[Baking Complete - Effect: Improves eyesight]
"It has the effect of restoring and improving eyesight." Yuzuru praised, "Natsumi, your skills combined with the oven are a perfect match."
Xia Mei also tried a piece, and immediately showed a surprised expression: "It's really different! The texture and taste are several levels higher!"
She excitedly grabbed Yuzuru Nan's hand: "Nan-kun, thank you so much! I'll definitely make good use of this grill!"
Yuzuru smiled and grasped her hand in return: "I believe you. But..."
He deliberately dragged out the words, "In exchange, I'll hand over my dessert supply to you from now on."
"No problem!" Natsumi Kosaka readily agreed, a confident smile spreading across her sweet face. "I'll definitely make a dessert that will satisfy you, Nan-kun!"
The two smiled at each other, and a sweet atmosphere filled the kitchen.
Just then, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Ai stood in the doorway, holding a fish tank, her expressionless face exuding an aura of coldness that kept people at a distance.
She looked quietly at Yuzuru and Natsumi, and said in a calm tone, "Excuse me, the Empress is hungry."
The empress in the fish tank cooperated by blowing a string of bubbles, as if to say, "This lady is about to have her meal."
Yuzuru: "......"
These two were definitely done on purpose.
Xia Mei was delighted: "Perfect timing! I made cookies, let's all try some!"
As she spoke, she walked enthusiastically to Ai's side, handed her the cookie, and even broke off a small piece to carefully feed the Empress in the fish tank.
The Empress glanced haughtily at the cookies, her gaze as if scrutinizing a lowly tribute, seemingly considering whether she should condescend to accept this offering.
Finally, under everyone's expectant gaze, it slowly swam over, gracefully picked up the cookie, and began to chew it slowly.
"It seems the Empress likes it too~" Xia Mei said happily.
Ai watched this scene, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Thank you."
These two simple words, coming from the mouth of a proud and aloof little girl, are already extremely high praise.
The three returned to the pavilion in the backyard, where Akemi had already prepared black tea.
As the sun sets, golden sunlight spills across the lake, creating a shimmering, breathtaking scene.
Looking at this harmonious scene, Xia Mei couldn't help but exclaim, "How beautiful..."
"You're welcome to come anytime if you like."
Yuzuru said casually.
Xia Mei turned her head, her gaze meeting Yu Sheng Nan's, her gray eyes filled with tenderness: "Really? Is it really okay?"
“Of course,” Yuzuru nodded. “You’re always welcome here.”
A bright, sweet smile bloomed on Natsumi Kosaka's face, and she was breathtakingly beautiful in the glow of the setting sun.
"Then I won't be polite~"
With the girl's answer, the Yuzuru family's "Pokémon Zoo" gained another new member, and Yuzuru Nan's harem... ah, I mean, his circle of friends, expanded once again.
...
At dinner time, Mingmei prepared a sumptuous meal.
Sitting at the dining table, Natsumi Kosaka looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her and couldn't help but exclaim, "Akami-nee's cooking skills are amazing!"
Akemi smiled gently: "I'm glad Natsumi likes it."
Yu Sheng Nan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Xia Mei's bowl: "Try it, it's Ming Mei's specialty."
Xia Mei took a bite, and her eyes lit up instantly: "So delicious!"
Ai silently ate her rice, glancing at Xia Mei every now and then, sighing inwardly—yet another girl "lured" back by her young master.
"Buyi!" Yingying jumped onto the dining table, staring longingly at the food.
Bobo also poked his head in through the window, trying to freeload.
Ai: "..." (glares)
She said seriously, "No, you two have already stolen several cookies."
As a trainer who adheres to scientific principles, Ai-chan has carefully crafted a scientific diet for both Yingying and Bobo.
She did this mainly because she was inspired by her older sister.
After all, in order for her to grow up healthily, her older sister not only customized a nutritionally balanced diet for her, but also forced her to drink a cup of hot milk every morning, muttering something about how this would help her grow up quickly.
What a joke! Is Ai Haibara a child?
Although she thought this way, she was powerless to resist her older sister.
Similarly, Yingying and Bobo, who were completely powerless against Ai, drooped their ears in grievance after hearing Ai's words, looking pitiful as if telling their "tragic story".
They looked at Yuzuru with their big, watery eyes, trying to get a little pity from him.
"Trying to be cute doesn't work~"
Yuzuru flicked her whimpering little nose, "But..."
He conjured a small bowl of specially made spirit rice pudding and placed it in front of Yingying: "You can eat this."
"Bu-i! (???????)?"
Yingying immediately cheered happily, plunged into the pudding, and began to eat with gusto.
"Bobo, this is for you."
"Po~"
Bobo happily caught the flying pudding in its mouth.
Seeing this, the Empress angrily slammed her hand against the glass of the fish tank, seemingly protesting, "Why don't I have one?"
Seeing this, Yu Sheng Nan couldn't help but chuckle. He also conjured a small dish of spirit rice biscuits, crushed them, and sprinkled them into the fish tank, saying with a smile, "Your Majesty, please enjoy!"
The empress then enjoyed the meal with satisfaction, her demeanor as elegant as if she were attending a royal banquet.
