"Okay! Goodnight, Grandpa!"
Xia Mei quickly hung up the phone, fearing that the old housekeeper would change his mind.
On the other end of the phone, the old housekeeper looked at his phone, shook his head, and sighed, "A daughter grows up and leaves home..."
At the same time, Ai was also shaking her head and sighing as she watched her older sister wink at Nanami Hanyu.
They aided and abetted the wicked, and colluded with each other in evil deeds.
Ai thought to herself, these words are the perfect way to describe her older sister.
She couldn't help but sigh, "My dear silly sister, what kind of woman acts as a wingman for her husband? It seems that the Miyano family's intelligence has indeed been passed down to her."
All that's left of my dear older sister is her fair skin and beautiful appearance.
As for the brain... what is that?
.........
Nighttime, in the villa's kitchen.
Three girls gathered around the Gourmet Cell Baking Oven, enthusiastically studying various dessert recipes.
"This strawberry cake recipe could be improved by adding some mint leaves; it would taste even more refreshing," Xia Mei suggested.
“Great idea!” Mingmei nodded. “I’ll add some honey to enhance the sweetness.”
Although Ai wasn't particularly interested in desserts, she surprisingly chimed in: "...How about we try adding a little lemon juice? The sourness can balance the sweetness."
Yuzuru leaned against the door frame, his arms crossed over his chest, watching them discuss animatedly, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
This is life.
"bite!"
With a crisp beep from the Gourmet Cell Baking Oven, Xiao Ai's first creation was freshly baked—a plate of small, exquisite lemon cookies.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the display screen on the baking oven:
[Baking Complete - Result: Saying One Thing and Meaning Another (10 minutes)]
[The consumer will say things that are completely contrary to their inner thoughts within ten minutes.]
"What kind of strange effect is this...?"
Ai frowned as she looked at the screen.
Akemi curiously picked up a cookie, took a small bite, chewed it carefully, and said, "It tastes good... Ah!"
She suddenly covered her mouth, her expression turning strange.
"What's wrong?" Xia Mei asked with concern.
Akemi tried to say something, but what came out of her mouth was: "I hate Yuzuru-sama the most!"
After saying that, she was stunned. Her eyes widened, and she hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, trying to explain, but her mouth seemed to be out of control, and she continued to say, "I don't want to be Master Yuzuru's maid!"
Yuzuru Hanyu couldn't help but chuckle, "Looks like the 'saying one thing but meaning another' effect is kicking in~"
Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately picked up a cookie and handed it to Yuzuru: "Want to try some too?"
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow: "Ai, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"
"How could that be~" The little girl smiled innocently. "I just wanted to share it with Nan-kun."
Yuzuru took the cookie with some skepticism and took a bite.
The biscuit spread in his mouth and tasted quite good, but the next second, a strange effect began to appear.
Three seconds later—
“I hate Ai the most!” he blurted out.
After saying that, he paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
Ai raised her chin smugly: "Hmph, just as I thought."
I knew someone was a total lolicon!
Xia Mei watched in stunned silence: "What an amazing effect..."
Next, it was Akemi's turn to try. She made a plate of strawberry daifuku, and the display screen lit up when it came out of the oven:
[Baking Complete - Effect: Blessed with Luck (2 hours)]
The consumer will experience a slight stroke of good luck within 2 hours.
"This is great!" Mingmei happily shared it with everyone.
Ai took a bite and suddenly remembered that she had made a mistake in calculating some experimental data; Xia Mei received a text message from the old housekeeper, saying that a supplier would offer to lower the price tomorrow; Yu Sheng Nan picked up his phone and found a message from a good older sister, saying that the last battle with Vermouth didn't count, and next time she would bring Eri along.
"This effect... is quite impressive," Yuzuru Nan remarked.
Akemi also tried a piece of strawberry daifuku.
The next second, she subconsciously reached into her pocket and pulled out a coupon she couldn't find before: "Wow! It really works! I feel like my luck has turned around."
Um......
Actually, this bit of luck is just icing on the cake for a lucky little maid who can rival Ran in good fortune.
Seeing how well her older sister made the desserts, Ai Haibara, not to be outdone, tried again, this time making a chocolate cake.
[Baking Complete - Result: Misfortune Strikes (30 minutes)]
[Effect: You may experience a minor misfortune within 30 minutes of consuming this product.]
Yu Sheng Nan picked up a piece and mischievously handed it to Yingying: "Here, have a taste~"
"Bu Yi!" The innocent little girl swallowed it in one gulp.
Three seconds later—
"Smack!"
The chandelier on the ceiling suddenly came loose and fell straight down with a crisp sound, hitting Yingying squarely on the head.
"Buee! QAQ"
The empress was blowing bubbles with glee in the fish tank.
......
It was finally Natsumi's turn.
As a professional pastry chef, her first creation was an exquisite macaron.
[Baking complete - Effect: Charm +1 (maximum 3)]
[Eater will permanently increase their charm value]
"Permanent effect?!" Ai's eyes widened in surprise.
