At first, it was just a child's game.

"Is it hidden?"

“Not yet.”

While running in the ruins, the silver-haired girl responded to her parents' questions with a smile. Then the girl's eyes lit up, and she crawled into an abandoned closet in front of her and closed the door.

"Alyssa, where are you?"

"Come out quickly."

Watching her parents looking for her everywhere, the little girl hiding in the closet covered her mouth and laughed softly. At this moment, suddenly, a series of chaotic screams came out.

"Wild God!"

"The wild god is coming, run!!"

“Alyssa!!”

At this time, the parents' voices were no longer leisurely, but filled with anxiety and fear.

"Where are you? Come out! Quick, quick ...

The huge monster dropped from the sky and stepped on the prey in front of it. Then it opened its mouth and bit their limbs, pulling, biting, and swallowing greedily.

“Aaaaaaah!!”

The girl curled up in the closet and couldn't even move at this moment. The smile on her face was still there, but now it turned pale. Everything happened too fast. In the last moment, she was still playing games with her parents, but in the next moment, her parents were torn to pieces and eaten alive by the wild god in front of her.

Dad...Mom...!!

The girl's eyes widened and she collapsed to the ground, not being able to exert any strength at all. She could only watch in despair as the wild god ate her parents. Then... the wild god seemed to have noticed something. It turned its head and slowly walked towards the closet where the girl was hiding.

Then, the girl saw the monster's face staring at her through the crack of the door with an expressionless face, and the next moment, she knew nothing.

"I see."

Fang Zheng took his hand away from the unconscious Alyssa's forehead, frowned slightly, and stared at the girl in front of him. He now understood why Alyssa behaved like that. It was not just hatred for the wild god who killed her parents, but also deep disgust and self-blame for herself.

If she hadn't been so naughty at that time and wanted to play hide-and-seek with her parents.

If only she had reacted earlier and come out of the closet.

...But unfortunately, there is no if in reality.

The reality is, because Alyssa was naughty and wanted to play hide-and-seek with her parents, her parents didn't have time to escape in order to find her and were eaten by the wild gods, but she... escaped.

In this kind of situation, anyone with a slightly fragile mentality would probably want to commit suicide.

Of course, judging from Alyssa's previous performance, she was not much better.

"It seems that it is time to learn some enchantment spells."

Fang Zheng thought about it for a long time, but he just felt it was difficult. Although he had played a guest role as a psychologist, Fang Zheng also knew that many problems would not be solved by you. For a problem like this, if Fang Zheng took the royal route and comforted Alyssa by saying "It was just an accident, you didn't kill your parents, and they don't want you to be sad about their death"... Fang Zheng didn't even believe it himself. Saying this kind of thing can make the heroine get out of the psychological trauma, it's completely a plot requirement and it's not scientific at all.

Weaving memories is more reliable!

Or should I just look for Shokuhou Misaki? Although this is also a solution, but... it's hard to say whether it can really solve the problem.

“Boom boom boom.”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then the door opened. Feili poked her head in from outside and stared at Fang Zheng.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, today's dinner..."

"Uh, let me do it. I'll do it, okay?"

Looking at Feili, Fang Zheng also hurriedly raised his hand. He knew that if he told Feili to go eat instant noodles again like he did that day, he might not be able to keep the house.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, can you cook?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Feili was stunned. She had always believed that Fang Zheng should be the ruler of some powerful force. For things like cooking... shouldn't there be a chef or something?

"Why can't I cook? You have to remember that even if you become a god, you can't be lazy when it's time to cook..."

Otherwise, what will the little girls at home eat?

"Do gods also need to eat?"

"Isn't it possible for the God of Cookery?"

Facing Feili's question, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly. He was now extremely grateful that the system did not create a world of ZhongO Xiaodangjia or the world of the Spirit of Food for him. Otherwise, if the system gave him a mission to become the God of Food, would Fang Zheng do it or not?

As for whether the system would give such a task, Fang Zheng didn't even need to think about it. Just look at the position of that damned Magical Girl God and you'll know. If there's a chance, this bastard will definitely catch me and trick me.

Thinking about it this way, I was probably lucky and cautious not to get the position of the God of Love in the love world. After all, in that world, although a lot of girls had a crush on him, in the end Fang Zheng only wanted Qiong, and at most he had a little ambiguity with Kiyoura Setsuna and Hoshii Miki, and basically rejected the others. If Fang Zheng took Sekai, Kotonoha, Touma, Setsuna, and 765's other girl idols into his harem, then he could be sure that he would not be able to escape the position of the "God of Love".

Oh my god, now that I think about it, I’m glad I’m smart.

Otherwise, it would be so awkward for a man to be the God of Love!

Am I supposed to be Cupid with my bare ass?

Besides, if I were to play matchmaker, I might end up cheating on her. After all, Kato Megumi was a lesson for us. At the time, Amami Tomoya vowed that their relationship was extremely stable and they would never break up because of such a "small matter". At that time, Fang Zheng felt that he believed in your lies. If he didn't break up with her, he would be a saint, or a psychopath.

Facts have proven that there are no saints in this world. Even if you have a good temper, you will still go berserk if you are heartbroken.

After all, once or twice is fine, you can get over it if you grit your teeth. You still have one week... So if Kato Megumi doesn't change her mind within one week, do you plan to do it for another week?

Even the Virgin Mary couldn't tolerate this.

Hmm... Looking at it this way, I should be considered the God of Minotaur?

Sounds like it's pretty good?

But the minotaur... the minotaur...

"How do you feel about having steak tonight?"

"……Why?"

Fang Zheng did what he said. Not long after, a sumptuous dinner was set. He even put a few candles and wine glasses, and poured some grape juice in them to add to the fun, making it a candlelight dinner.

However……

"Mr. Fang Zheng, what is this?"

"Candlelight dinner?"

"No, I mean..."

Looking at the food on the plate in front of her, Fili was speechless. On the plate in front of her, except for the steak which was somewhat decent, the rest... Fili didn't know what to say.

Although Fang Zheng had eaten Western food before, he had never cooked it well. Grilled steak was simple, he could just find a video and watch it, but if Fang Zheng didn't like other things, he would basically replace them with something else.

For example, since I couldn’t find any vegetable salad, I just cut some cucumbers and tomatoes and made pickles.

Since I don’t like eating bread, I just cut the steamed buns into slices and toasted them.

Fang Zheng had never eaten pasta in his entire life, so he simply cooked two packs of instant noodles instead, then put a poached egg on it and added some seaweed egg drop soup... Well, perfect!

“Isn’t this wonderful?”

Looking at the dinner in front of him, Fang Zheng shrugged.

"As long as it's edible, it's fine. And I've already given you the atmosphere, so don't worry about the other things. Aren't all Western restaurants out there like this? It's all about the atmosphere, and as long as the food is acceptable, it's fine. Besides, the food in those unscrupulous restaurants is so small, but here we serve large portions and we guarantee you'll be full!"

"That's not the question... Never mind."

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Feili was also very upset, but in the end she sighed helplessly, sat opposite Fang Zheng, and began to enjoy this special candlelight dinner.

The meal was bland. After all, Fang Zheng's cooking skills... had not improved much even after becoming a god. However, the raw materials he brought were still pretty good, so the taste of the meal was naturally acceptable.

Of course, it was still quite delicious. After taking a bite, Feili's eyes became blurred, her cheeks flushed, and her heart seemed to melt. Her favorability soared as she looked at Fang Zheng and she wanted to give herself to him immediately. Forget about this kind of thing...

Unless someone put drugs in the food.

"This is truly the most special candlelight dinner I have ever had."

Fili put down the fork in her hand and savored the instant noodles she had just eaten. She simply... didn't know what to say.

Where can I have instant noodles for a candlelight dinner?

"I used to eat this way often, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. You know, when he was a child in his previous life, when there was a power outage at night, everyone would eat instant noodles with candles... There's nothing special about it, right?

"But I still want to thank you."

"This meal?"

"I'm talking about Zuellni."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Feili glared at him. It would have been fine if he didn't mention the meal, but after he mentioned it, Feili wanted to kick him.

"Thank you for saving Zuellni."

"You're welcome. After all, we do know each other, and more friends mean more paths."

“…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Feili turned her head and looked at the dark earth outside the window, and remained silent for a while.

"Did I... do something wrong?"

"Um?"

"Have you heard what my brother said about me?"

"That's not the case."

Fang Zheng shook his head, while Feili sighed.

"I was originally born in another city. In that city, my family was considered the ruling class of the city. Because I was born with very strong telekinesis, my family always hoped that I could develop in this direction. In fact, my future had been decided by everyone since I was born."

Having said that, Felli clenched the knife in her hand.

"But I didn't want to accept this fate. I wanted to choose my own future, so I left there and came to Zuellni. But what I didn't expect was that even my brother didn't support me, and still placed me in the martial arts department..."

I see. No wonder Felli always treats Kalian like a nose that is not a nose, and an eye that is not an eye.

"So what's changed your mind now?"

"Because I think...am I a little too willful?"

Having said this, Felli once again looked at the land in front of her.

"I have always lived in a mobile city and never knew that the outside world is like this. I always thought that I was wronged, but look at those people who live outside, have no food to eat, no water to drink, and have to worry about being attacked by wild gods and polluted beasts all the time... Although I don't know what happened to Miss Alisa, she must have had a very tragic past, so she reacted like this. However, I have been hiding in my own world..."

Felli is usually a quiet person, but she said so much today. She must have been touched by seeing the runaway Alisa.

"There's nothing wrong with that. After all, you're just a child and you're still growing up. It's pretty good that you can have such thoughts."

Having said that, Fang Zheng raised his fork with a smile and pointed at Fili's plate.

"If you want to change yourself, you have to start with the little things in your daily life - eat the tomatoes in here first."

“Woo…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Feili's expression suddenly changed.
