Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

"Just kidding. At least so far, I haven't gotten anyone pregnant, so you don't need to worry. Even if you eat my barbecue, you won't get pregnant."

Qi Ye waved his hand.

Holding a small knife, he cut a large piece off the grilled meat and put it directly into his mouth.

He ate and spoke at the same time.

"I can make steamed buns, xiaolongbao, char siu bao, custard sesame red bean buns, large meat buns, vegetable buns, and soup dumplings. I can also make Mapo tofu, garlic pork belly, dan dan noodles, hot and sour noodles, fried sauce noodles, roast suckling pig, Dongpo pork, candied potatoes, wonton noodles, mala tang, lamb skewers, crab shell pasta, donkey meat sandwiches, glutinous rice braised pork, sweet and sour pork, tiger claw donkey rolls, stinky tofu, four-happiness meatballs, duck blood vermicelli soup, crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, braised noodles, jianbing guozi, tomato scrambled eggs, boiled shrimp, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, stir-fried eel, three-shredded soup, and so on and so forth. I could talk about the names of the dishes for days and nights. Want to eat some?"

"..."

The girl swallowed hard.

I'm hungry.

So hungry, so hungry! I want to eat so much! I want to eat xiaolongbao, char siu bao, custard buns, sesame buns, red bean buns, big meat buns, vegetable buns, soup dumplings...

Etc., etc.

Although I've hardly ever heard of it, it sounds delicious just from the smell.

And besides these, there seem to be many more.

Ah! We really do need to maintain world peace, otherwise there won't be so much delicious food. A world without delicious food is meaningless... a meaningless world...

Okay, the important thing is the food.

"Cook, from now on, follow me. If you follow me, I'll have delicious food."

"...Huh? Shouldn't we be saying things like 'Follow me, and you'll have meat to eat' or 'Follow me, and you'll live a life of luxury'?"

"That's right. If you follow me, I'll have meat to eat. If you follow me, I'll live a life of luxury. What's the problem with that?"

"..."

It sounds like there's nothing wrong, but something just doesn't feel right.

Is it just an illusion?

Okay, that's fine.

"Even if you're going to come along, it'll be you who comes with me, and you'll get plenty of food and drink."

"..."

Black Eyes remained silent.

He was eating the grilled meat, seemingly deep in thought.

for a long time.

We've finished the barbecue.

He wiped the oil and grease off his hands and mouth with a handkerchief, then took his knife in his hand.

"Actually..."

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to dart around.

Then lock onto Seven Nights.

“I know you have a problem. You’re barbecuing in the middle of nowhere, swimming in the river, and you’re even with a little girl. You’re not worried about any dangers. But when you see a stranger like me, you’re completely unguarded and even offer me some barbecue. If you’re not naive or stupid, then there’s something wrong with you.”

"Oh."

Qi Ye nodded.

Black Eyes ignored him and continued speaking.

"I originally intended to arrest you or kill you outright, but considering how delicious your cooking is, I'll spare your life if you become my cook."

"..."

Sure enough, there's no food that can't satisfy a foodie.

If so, it's simply because your food isn't plentiful or tasty enough.

But that's okay.

Seven Nights, a smile curled at the corners of his lips.

Actually, I knew a long time ago that you would know I had a problem.

"Oh, really? Actually, I knew you'd find out I knew you had a problem."

"Yes, I knew you would know me..."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense."

Black Eyes was getting a little impatient.

With a "clang," the sword was drawn and placed directly against Qi Ye's neck.

"You've been captured. You have the right to remain silent, but not the right not to cook. From today onwards, your task is to cook, cook, cook, cook... Do you understand?"

"..."

Qi Ye remained silent.

He simply grinned and then appeared behind Kurohime.

"It's you who was captured!"

"boom!"

Chapter 302: You're welcome.

evening.

Jinrui City, in the shrine.

Seven Nights knocked out Kurohime and moved him back here.

Akame was there too.

The shrine here also has an underground research lab, though it's not big. Most of the large equipment is now placed in the space of the right eye.

Looking at Kurohime, who had been thrown onto a small bed, she then looked at Nana.

"So, how do you plan to persuade her now?"

Her sister is a bit stubborn and obstinate, and it's difficult to persuade her with words.

Even relationships don't work out.

For Kuroko right now, the Empire is more important than anything else.

Or rather, it wasn't the empire, but the justice she upheld in her heart, her loyalty to the country, coupled with the education she received from childhood, that made her ruthless towards her enemies.

They've been captured.

But what to do after being captured is also clear, one of which is not to listen to the enemy's lies.

That's natural.

Because once you hear it, once you know more about it, you will start to think about who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong.

The empire doesn't need them to think; it only needs them to be competent killing tools.

However, only a few of these tools are truly qualified.

"No, no, there's no need to persuade her right now."

Qi Ye shook his head.

He's not good at persuasion; it's very difficult for him to convince someone.

"First, control her, then feed her all kinds of delicious food every day: xiaolongbao, char siu bao, custard sesame red bean buns, large meat buns, vegetable buns, soup dumplings, and also mapo tofu, garlic pork belly, dan dan noodles, hot and sour noodles, fried sauce noodles, roast suckling pig, Dongpo pork, and so on."

"..."

Her red eyes were fixed on him.

Then, swallow hard.

He spoke again.

"Let me do this difficult task. You just need to bring the good food."

As he spoke, he looked at his younger sister.

"Let me be the bad guy, let me bear the infamy, I'm ready!"

"..."

Qi Ye also glanced at her.

It's truly admirable that someone so young can have such awareness.

But we can't let her come.

“You still have to go back. You can still work for the empire on the surface, but you can’t just disappear for too long without a reason, or people will become suspicious.”

"..."

That makes sense.

Not only her, but also Kuroko's eyes couldn't disappear for too long.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again.

"Aren't you going to let Kurohime go back?"

“I was thinking of having her take charge of intelligence and assassination work here. After all, we don’t have any talent in this area, so it’s better for her not to go back. Besides, by the time she changes her mind, who knows how much time will have passed. If she goes back then, she won’t be of much use. Instead, she’ll be suspected or monitored.”

"Too."

Akame nodded.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally made a decision.

"Then she's in your care."

"Leave it to me? I understand, sister-in-law. Please rest assured and leave it to me. You won't get pregnant."
