Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Conversation, favors.

After returning at noon, the live broadcast was over. She and Dazai Osamu ventilated the room, cleared out the empty wine bottles, and cleaned it inside and out.
It happened that the ingredients for the calming tea ordered online had arrived, so Li Xiaoqi brewed a pot of tea.
The apartment was filled with the fresh aroma of tea. As usual, Dazai Osamu moved a chair to sit on the balcony, watching the slowly moving clouds in the distance.
Li Xiaoqi handed the calming tea he had prepared to Dazai Osamu, moved a chair and sat next to him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
So, the two of them held the teacups and drank the tea slowly, sip by sip.
"It's really comfortable."
"yes……"
"But are we forgetting something?"
"What?"
The sun shone on Li Xiaoqi. She changed her clothes, took a shower, and was enjoying the warmth of the sun comfortably.
She summoned her backpack, looked at the amount of gold coins on top of it, and nodded with great satisfaction.
CG's 'Moving Towards a Changed Future' sold like hotcakes, and they earned 6,000 gold coins.
Minus the gold coins converted into Japanese Yen, the total is 20,890.
Dazai Osamu held a little yellow duck pillow in his arms, and was leisurely drinking soothing tea in his pajamas, with a faint scent of shower gel emanating from his body.
"Is this what calming tea tastes like? Not bad."
Li Xiaoqi smiled and said, "My mother taught me how to do it."
After getting rid of the smell of alcohol, the two of them stretched together, with comfortable expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, the phone rang and it was a message from the minister.
[Today is a day off for students, but it is not a day off for the cafeteria staff.]
Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu: "Ah."
The two men, who had completely forgotten about their canteen work, quickly drank the tea in their hands, changed into their work clothes, and hurried to the canteen.
As soon as I arrived at the cafeteria entrance, I saw Nanami Kento, Haibara Yu and several injured students sitting on the steps, their stomachs rumbling one after another.
In this way, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu began to cook for the students.
Because of the continuous system tasks, Li Xiaoqi sighed tiredly, "Ah... I really want to take a vacation."
Dazai Osamu stood in the kitchen, glanced at the empty vegetable box, slowly put on a smile, and then whispered in Li Xiaoqi's ear.
When Li Xiaoqi heard Dazai Osamu's idea of being lazy, he gave him a thumbs up.
So, the cafeteria of Jujutsu High School finally opened after the two employees arrived, and lunch was placed directly on the windowsill ten minutes later.
This speed surprised the students present.
The lunch dishes are completely new, some of which I have never even heard of, such as the sweet flower stuffed chicken set meal and the matsutake mushroom stuffed meat roll set meal.
The aroma whetted the students' appetites and they lined up very quickly.
Haibara Yu pulled Nanami Kento along, and they ordered different set meals, ready to share so they could eat different foods.
Li Xiaoqi handed them the bowl of rice and said with a smile, "Enjoy your meal~"
Haibara Xiong looked at the whole sweet flower-stuffed chicken with sparkling eyes, his saliva almost dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Nanami Kento pondered for a moment, picked up the plate of matsutake-stuffed meat rolls, swiped his meal card, and left.
In the cafeteria, white lights appeared one after another.
After eating lunch, the students who were injured in the mission realized that their injuries had healed. They exclaimed in surprise and thanked Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu loudly.
It seemed that everyone believed that this was the effect of their technique.
"Last time I saw the effects of Nanami and the others eating it, I was amazed. Now that I've experienced it myself, it's really amazing—"
"This way, I won't be afraid even if I get seriously injured next time!"
Everyone was talking excitedly.
Li Xiaoqi looked at the empty wooden barrel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Dazai Osamu was leaning against the table, reading the consumption of ingredients.
"I made 7 pieces of sweet flower stuffed chicken and 8 pieces of matsutake stuffed meat rolls, and they were just finished."
Outside the window, Ye Moth Zhengdao, who was observing quietly, slightly raised the corners of his lips and had an idea in his mind.
*
The next day, after Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu went out to buy ingredients, they were called out by Ye Mo Zhengdao.
Inside the office, sunlight falls on the dark brown wooden table. A few documents are scattered on the table, and a palm-sized panda doll is placed on the corner of the table.
Ye Mo Zhengdao stood in front of the window, his sunglasses reflecting the lush trees outside the window.
The calendar on the wall has turned to a new page, it has officially entered July, and a hot warm breeze is blowing outside the window.
"Store the recovered food?"
Li Xiaoqi repeated what he had just heard and spoke softly.
Ye Moth Zhengdao had a serious expression and nodded slightly, "Yes. We have a sorcerer who can keep food fresh for longer, although his technique can only prolong the duration of the spell..."
Li Xiaoqi waved his hands and said subconsciously: "Ah, it doesn't matter. The food we make is magical, so the food will not spoil before it is consumed."
Ye Mo Zheng Dao's expression was blank for a moment, "...Ah?"
Dazai Osamu coughed lightly, glanced at Li Xiaoqi, and smiled helplessly.
Xiaoqi, you are so honest.
Li Xiaoqi closed his mouth and stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.
After a while, Ye Mo Zhengdao regained his voice, looked at Li Xiaoqi and smiled, "What a kind girl."
Li Xiaoqi hesitated and rubbed his index finger nervously.
"Actually, I've heard about your origins from Wu and the others..."
"Huh?"
Li Xiaoqi showed a surprised look, turned his head to look at Dazai Osamu and blinked blankly.
Dazai Osamu's expression was normal, his iris-colored eyes reflected the messy desk, which was covered with documents filled with text.
He raised his hand and touched the bandage on his left cheek, gently brushing it with his fingertips, then lowered his eyes to meet Li Xiaoqi's.
There were traces of sunshine in his brown eyes, revealing ignorance and confusion.
Dazai Osamu laughed and raised his hand to gently rub Li Xiaoqi's hair.
Then, the round bun on his head trembled, Li Xiaoqi puffed up his cheeks, slapped Dazai Osamu's hand away and protected the bun on his head.
"Don't blame them. I was the one who forced them to answer yesterday."
Ye Mo Zheng Dao's expression softened a bit. "After all, I've never noticed any signs of magic being used in the cafeteria, and I've also tried those wonderful and unique meals there. There's definitely no magic flowing when the magic is activated."
"It's normal that the students didn't notice it, because a powerful sorcerer can suppress the flow of their spells to an extremely subtle level."
Dazai chuckled, not surprised. "It seems the top brass in the world of curse arts didn't come to talk to us. Mr. Yega is hiding a lot, right?"
Ye Mo Zhengdao widened the smile on his lips, and his serious facial expression relaxed a lot.
"Mr. Dazai is really smart."
"I can see that both of you are kind people, which is why you set up a window at the Jujutsu High School dedicated to Jujutsu practitioners and placed food that can heal wounds."
He paused, as if thinking of something, a look of displeasure flashing across his eyes. "Hiding some of your information is also beneficial to us. After all, the hearts of the top leaders are a bit fragile."
Ye Mo Zheng Dao's tone turned teasing when he said the last half of the sentence.
Dazai Osamu, who is considered a good person by everyone: "..."
He avoided the gaze of Ye Mo Zhengdao, stared at the sunlight falling on the back of his hand, and silently moved his hand away.
"Brother, did you know that the top leaders of the curse world would come to us?"
Li Xiaoqi asked.
She wasn't terribly surprised. Considering how much trouble they had caused when they left the anchor point, it was a miracle they hadn't come looking for them yet.
However, due to the continuous events, Li Xiaoqi did not have much energy to think about why those old-timers in the upper echelons of spell arts did not take action.
"The first time in that villa, it could be said that it was caused by Gojo-kun and Geto-kun's spell, or by the cursed spirit, but what happened in the Hongxing Palace would definitely reach the ears of those people."
"As for the strange behavior we usually engage in at school, the higher-ups don't really know the details. I guess the most they know is that two employees who can perform healing spells have arrived at the Jujutsu High School cafeteria. However, they lack combat abilities and can't go into battle. They can only provide food that can be made to heal wounds."
Dazai Osamu spoke in a gentle tone, as if he was saying something plain and simple like what he had for lunch.
"But yesterday, besides Geto Suguru, Riko Tenchu, and Shinji Zenin, there were also Xiao Qi and me in Hongxing Palace. They thought it was strange that someone without fighting ability would be there."
"What's more, Zenyuan Shener gave up the idea of assassinating Tennariko and left Hongxing Palace. If you think about it carefully, you will know that it was us who were responsible."
He looked at Ye Moth Zhengdao with a calm and sharp gaze.
"I really want to know where Gojo-kun and Getsu-kun are? They haven't been seen since yesterday."
The smile on Ye Mo Zhengdao's lips disappeared, his brows furrowed, and he didn't speak immediately.
He sighed softly and looked at the little doll on his desk.
Li Xiaoqi opened his lips slightly, thinking of what Geto Suguru said to Nakano Riko yesterday, and thought of something.
"Did those higher-ups lock up Geto-kun and Gojo-kun?"
She spoke anxiously.
Ye Mo Zheng Dao showed a hesitant look on his face. He thought for a moment and decided to speak.
"As a stellar plasma, Tennuriko has had only one purpose since her birth, and that is to assimilate with Tengen-sama. Tengen-sama will be reborn, and the barrier network covering all of Japan will continue to remain stable."
"As the most compatible astral plasma, Tennuriko has refused to assimilate with Lord Tengen. The higher-ups are treating this as a major incident. Jie and Wu are considered instigators and have been imprisoned. Tennuriko and Miss Kuroi, who is taking care of her, are currently hiding from the sorcerer."
Dazai Osamu frowned slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"A technique to achieve immortality by assimilating with another... This is the first time I've seen it. So, what does this Tengen-sama intend? Do you still want assimilation? Or will you die if you don't?"
Ye Moth Zhengdao shook his head slightly and said, "If he doesn't assimilate with the astral plasma, Master Tianyuan will still exist, but he will become an existence in a higher dimension. At that time, his way of thinking will completely change, and perhaps he will bring destruction to the world in a single thought."
"Horrible, terrible~"
Dazai Osamu teased.
"But if the existence of a world depends on one person, that's too terrifying. It's not a balanced world at all."
He suppressed the smile on his lips and looked straight into Ye Mo Zhengdao's eyes.
When Ye Moth touched the iris-colored eyes, he felt that the pupils, which should have been as white as glass, now looked extremely deep, like a hand strangling the throat, making it difficult to breathe.
A thin layer of cold sweat ran down his forehead and he slowly clenched his fingers.
This man is definitely not as indifferent as he appears to be.
Dazai Osamu didn't care who Tengen was, he only cared about the purpose of Yaga Masamichi revealing this matter to them.
"Mr. Ye Moth, you concealed most of our affairs. Even when the higher-ups found out we were in Hongxing Palace, they didn't come looking for us right away. Instead, they sentenced Gojo-kun and Geto-kun to prison. You must have been able to turn things around quite a bit during that time, right?"
"As for the Hongxing Palace incident, it's true that Xiaoqi and I were there, which was suspicious. However, Geto-kun and Gojo-kun were the ones who directly changed Riko's mind. So, to the higher-ups, our culpability is less severe, and Mr. Yaga has more room to manipulate."
"And you're bringing this up now because you want to use this favor to help your students, right?"
The office fell silent. Li Xiaoqi looked at Dazai Osamu, horrified.
What a meticulous mind! If it were her, she wouldn't have thought of so much.
Ye Mo Zhengdao smiled slightly and nodded frankly.
"Yes, I want you to rescue Wu and Jie."
"Of course, with their strength, it wouldn't be difficult for them to get out of the prison cell, but if they did, they would be expelled from the curse world and become curse masters."
