A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

"what?"

She had never thought of this before: staying for dinner... with this man?

A wave of instinctive disgust washed over me; the power of -63 favorability points was not to be underestimated.

Listening to the howling wind outside the window, Natsuki Aoi smiled and said, "If you really can't resist, you don't have to eat it."

"You think I'm interested in eating this? Natsuki Aoi! You think too highly of yourself!" Mito Takahashi frowned, then remembered that her boots were still in the hallway outside. She walked to the glass window, and as soon as she pushed open the door, a gust of cold wind swept in, making her bones feel numb all over.

She braved the strong wind, retrieved her high boots, and quickly ran back inside, heading straight to the warmest part of the living room with its underfloor heating.

My gaze then fell on the slightly smug look on Aoi Natsuki's face. Ah! So he knew all along that there was a strong wind outside!

In an instant, she was filled with rage. Takahashi Mito clenched her fists, disregarded everything else, and strode over, shouting his name fiercely.

Only then did Natsuki Aoi realize something was wrong and quickly apologized.

Chapter 28 Lina, the Goddess of Assistance!

"Awoo awoo!"

When Lina saw this, she immediately ran over to stop them, waving her little hands wildly.

Seeing Rina's anxious look, Takahashi Mitsu's anger gradually subsided, and she quickly withdrew her foot.

Aoi Natsuki got back to the main point and said, "So with such a strong wind outside, are you still planning to go back like this?"

"..." Takahashi Mito glared at him, but what he said was indeed true. However, the thought of having dinner with this guy made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

At that moment, Lina stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

Takahashi Mito's gaze was drawn to her, while Rina held up her writing board.

"Natsuki's cooking is really good."

Do you usually cook for yourselves at home?

Lina nodded heavily after hearing this.

Mito Takahashi seemed to be deep in thought. After a few seconds of silence, an awkward expression flashed across her face: "I understand. We can eat here then. I'll send a text message to my family."

"Awoo!" Lina jumped up and down with joy.

Looking at her innocent smile, Takahashi Mito was instantly healed and was pulled by her to sit down on the sofa next to her.

"Then I'll go cook." Aoi Natsuki slapped her knees, stood up, and headed for the kitchen.

Lina, arm in arm with Mito Takahashi, skillfully turned on the television with the remote control.

When you turn it on, there are rows of cartoon options.

"What are you looking at?"

"Let's see what Rina likes to watch." Takahashi Mito smiled and patted Rina's head.

The two then started watching Peppa Pig.

From time to time, the sounds of knives chopping on the cutting board and oil splattering from stir-frying could be heard from the other end of the kitchen. About twenty minutes later, the aroma of rice mixed with the smell of meat wafted out from the crack in the kitchen door.

After a busy afternoon, Mito Takahashi's stomach finally started growling.

She blushed instantly, stroking her lower abdomen. Luckily, the other person hadn't heard her stomach growling, or it would have been too embarrassing.

But it really smells good...

"Lina, does this guy cook for you like this every day?"

Lina grinned after hearing that: "Mm!"

The words on the whiteboard touched her, and she tentatively asked, "Have you ever been so busy that you've never ordered sushi, pizza, or a bento box for me?"

"Bento boxes are served every day, all made by Natsuki herself."

Made by hand...

Mito Takahashi was momentarily lost in thought, but quickly recovered and turned her gaze to the kitchen.

The glass door, shrouded in steam, almost revealed the figure of Aoi Natsuki inside, but for a fleeting moment, Takahashi Mito had the illusion that this guy wasn't so bad.

"Favorability +4"

The notification sound indicating an increase in favorability caught Aoi Natsuki off guard as she was chopping sauerkraut in the kitchen. She was inwardly grateful for Rina's kindness, thinking that meeting Rina was indeed the best choice for her.

About ten minutes later, Natsuki Aoi shouted that dinner was ready.

Lina's eyes lit up, and she jumped off the sofa, grabbed Takahashi Mito's hand, and headed towards the dining room.

The living room and dining room are connected; you just need to go down a small step.

Ji Jiang smelled the aroma and stood at the kitchen door, wagging her tail incessantly.

Aoi Natsuki opened the door and came out carrying a plate of food, almost bumping into Yoshi-chan.

"You can't do that, Yoshi-chan. I've already prepared your dog food, and if you really want to eat it..." Aoi Natsuki grinned, "I'll save you a chicken leg later."

Mito Takahashi was a little uncomfortable eating at someone else's house and sat there somewhat reserved, but as the dishes were served one after another, her appetite gradually took over.

She clutched her stomach tightly, hoping it wouldn't growl at this moment.

Afterwards, Aoi Natsuki ran to the corridor, grabbed a bag of dog food she had bought that day and a dog bowl. When she came back, Ji-chan was extremely excited, jumping back and forth. Aoi Natsuki put down the dog bowl, then opened the dog food packaging, poured out an appropriate amount, and placed the dog food on the cabinet next to her before finally sitting back down at the dining table.

"Alright, let's get ready to eat!"

"Oh!" Lina exclaimed happily, raising her chopsticks high.

Today I not only got to raise a dog, but also made new friends, and had such a delicious dinner. Today was truly a wonderful day!

Mito Takahashi remained silent, her head slightly lowered, taking small bites of food at a time. The food tasted really good, and she hadn't eaten a hot meal like this in a long time.

Aoi Natsuki, who was standing nearby, noticed that something was off about her. She was about to ask a question, but then she thought that if she opened her mouth, she would definitely be mocked by the other party, so she kept quiet and gave Rina a wink.

Lina, being an old hand, immediately understood what Natsuki meant. She shouted at Takahashi Mito and then began writing on the writing board.

"Is it not to your liking?"

"No... that's not it." Takahashi Mito quickly denied it, but at the same time she noticed Aoi Natsuki's gaze. A little bit of arrogance welled up in her heart, and her eyes became somewhat hostile. "You're a pretty good cook, aren't you?"

Ha... So you have to use this face to cook delicious food? Misogynism is really scary.

"You don't need to be so reserved. It's just a meal. If you don't want to see me, I'll just get some food and eat it in the living room."

“No, no need…” Takahashi Mito stopped him from getting up, then glanced to the other side. “I was just thinking about some things at home, it has nothing to do with you, you can just sit here.”

Oh! This is a rare occurrence for Mitsuko Takahashi to show interest in me; her favorability rating has now reached -55 points.

At this point, the fool's choice would definitely be to press her for details, only to be met with a dismissive retort that it's none of his business. He had anticipated this outcome. The key is to act according to the level of affection she has for you, and never cross the line.

“Okay, let’s continue eating.” Natsuki Aoi nodded and continued eating.

And that's where the topic ended.

The three of them finally began to eat dinner in harmony.

However, Takahashi Mito was truly shocked by Aoi Natsuki's cooking skills. It was astonishing that a boy could cook such delicious food, especially the shrimp stew. The sweetness of the shrimp was perfectly infused into the soup, making each bite a rich and layered flavor.

"Here, let me serve you."

Seeing that Rina was struggling to scoop soup with a spoon, Mitsu Takahashi got up to help her serve the soup, and a faint smile gradually returned to her face.

"Lina should be in elementary school by now, right? Which elementary school does she go to?"

"..."

The dining room was completely silent.

When Lina heard the word "primary school," a slight look of disappointment appeared on her face.

After taking a sip of soup, Aoi Natsuki revealed the truth: "Rina isn't in school yet."

Takahashi Mito was taken aback upon hearing this, then turned her head and said, "Liar? Rina at that age should at least be a mistress or a concubine."

Well, it's a long story.

“Then tell me slowly!” Takahashi Mito frowned slightly, then sat back down, crossed her right leg, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and stared at Aoi Natsuki with a fierce look.

what……

Chapter 29 The Plan is Complete!

Aoi Natsuki didn't intend to hide anything. He knew that once a small lie was told, an even bigger lie would be needed to cover it up. It was best to nip such unstable factors in the bud as early as possible.

"Actually, Lina is not a distant relative of mine."

"what?"

Then, Aoi Natsuki told her about what happened more than half a month ago, including his first encounter with Rina at the convenience store entrance, and how she happened to appear at his doorstep, etc. He did not embellish the story, but simply told the truth.

Whenever Takahashi Mito expressed doubt about this, she would look at Rina, who would give her an affirming look.

After listening to the whole thing, he's actually a positive character?

Natsuki Aoi put down her rice bowl, smiled awkwardly, and scratched the back of her head, saying, "So, Rina's schooling is something that's bothering me right now. I'll have to wait for my dad to come back and discuss it with him before anything can be done."

"In that case, perhaps I can be of help."

"Really?" Natsuki Aoi exclaimed in surprise.

Takahashi Mito couldn't stand his sudden, intense gaze, so she glared at him in return. Realizing what he meant, she immediately looked away.

"Are you serious? Because going to school is closely related to registering your household registration."

"I was just saying maybe, my father... in short, there might be hope. If we can get it done, I'll text you." Takahashi Mi didn't want to reveal too much, especially since it was all for Rina's sake. Why should she talk to you?

Aoi Natsuki was in a great mood after hearing this, and stole a glance at Takahashi Mito, who had a serious expression on her face.

This guy... can be really kind-hearted sometimes. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

"Awoo awoo!"

Lina's reaction was obviously the strongest. She was so bored at home all day and could only entertain herself. Now that Ji-chan was around, she finally had a companion. But she also hoped that one day she could make more good friends at school!

So when she learned that she could go to primary school, she was so excited that she shouted repeatedly.

"Lina! There are guests here, this is impolite!"
