When the flames reflected on her snow-white cheeks, she looked like a witch of fire.

They're having a blast!

"Alright, come and try my cooking!"

A moment later, Mayumi placed the grilled skewers on the table.

The problem is, rather than being barbecued meat, it was more like some indescribable thing, a dark, murky mess.

"this...."

Miyuki looked at the plate of grilled meat with some difficulty, but she couldn't refuse the chairman's kindness, so she took the smallest piece and held it in her hand.

Shuibo also imitated the cat, picking up a string of them.

The twins, however, had already made their escape and hidden in a blind spot that Mayumi couldn't find.

As for the true search?

Under Mayumi's piercing gaze, "Why aren't you eating?", he bravely sacrificed himself and picked up the largest string of skewers.

Although he really wanted to ask, "Is this thing edible?"

But under Mayumi's sincere gaze, he swallowed his words.

He slowly brought the grilled meat to his mouth.

"Fine, so be it! I'm not going to die anyway!"

Under the watchful eyes of Miyuki, Mizuna, and Mayumi, Mahiro took a bite.

Click!

That's right, it's a snap!

The moment it enters your mouth, you experience a strong crispness, followed by an endless bitterness and a lingering, pungent taste of alcohol, along with strong, chewy muscle fibers.

Looking down, I saw that beneath the black shell, the meat inside was still a bright red color.

There were even a few drops of blood slowly dripping from it.

Just as expected....

"Brother Mahiro (Master Mahiro)...Are you alright?"

Looking at his expression, which seemed frozen in time, Miyuki and Mizuha's faces were filled with worry.

"No, it's okay..."

Slowly turning his head, his lips, covered in an unidentified black substance, tried to curve into a smile, but before he could even finish speaking, everything went black.

[Self-repair - Complete.]

Just before he was about to faint, he completed his self-repair and then took a strong step back, finally managing to stabilize his body.

"Um... Junior Shinjiro? Are you alright?"

"fine."

After one attempt at repair, Mahiro had developed a tiny bit of resistance to this culinary disaster. After swallowing the half-cooked meat in her mouth, she smiled slightly:

"It's just... the meat you grilled might not be cooked through."

"Huh? Not cooked? That's impossible! I followed the cooking time exactly as it was in the cookbook." Mayumi was quite surprised.

Putting aside whether cookbooks can actually teach people how to cook, the fact that you grill meat over an open flame while spraying strong liquor is something that cookbooks definitely don't teach.

Mayumi, however, refused to believe it and picked up a skewer of grilled meat, putting it directly into her mouth.

The president/older sister/Seven Grass Lady, you are truly a brave warrior...

At this moment, Miyuki, Mizuha, and the twins really wanted to say this praise.

But the next second, Mayumi's expression suddenly changed drastically. Her fair and rosy face turned ashen, and she quickly turned around and spat out what was in her mouth.

I grabbed the drink and rinsed my mouth frantically.

It took me a long time to come to my senses, and I dejectedly put the meat skewers back on the tray.

"Ugh... It tastes awful... I failed again... How embarrassing..."

"It's okay, senior. Just practice cooking more. Practice makes perfect," Yotsuba Mahiro patted her shoulder, comforting her.

Your friend, the master of conversation, is now online.

With just one sentence, Mayumi was rendered speechless.

Her resentful little eyes were fixed on Makoto, while her sisters were trying not to laugh.

"Oh, you don't need to look at me like that. I'm just telling the truth. But the fire in the stove looks just right now, so let me show you how to grill meat."

Just as they were talking, the fire in the stove slowly died down, leaving only embers and no bright flames.

"Junior, you can cook?!" Mayumi's eyes widened slightly, as if she had discovered a new world.

Miyuki and Mizuha looked at each other and saw the words "I don't know" in each other's eyes.

This was the first time they had ever heard that Mahiro could cook!

"Of course! This time, I'll show you what real skill is!"

As they were talking, Mahiro picked up a few meat skewers and some seafood and placed them on the grill, where they immediately started sizzling.

As golden oil dripped down, the soft flames rising from the oven gently licked the surface of the meat.

Before long, the aroma of barbecue wafted from the coastline.

Unfortunately, he didn't have all the seasonings, so he only sprinkled a few drops of salt.

Fortunately, the meat was of high quality and was delicious even without much seasoning.

"Come and taste it."

Mahiro had already neatly arranged the slightly charred meat skewers and seafood on a tray and pushed it in front of them.

“(╯▽╰) It smells so good~~” Kasumi picked up one of the skewers, took a big bite, and immediately showed a look of intoxication.

"Mmm, I never expected that not only is Makoto-nii handsome and incredibly skilled in magic, but he can also grill meat so well." Izumi's eyes were already sparkling with admiration.

"Hmm~ Mahiro-nii's grilled meat is really delicious. Right, Mizuna?"

"Yes, Lady Miyuki, the heat was just right, I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as Mizuha."

Shuibo and Shenxue chewed on the pieces of meat in small bites, happy smiles on their faces.

"Mmm...it's so delicious."

Even Mayumi was moved while eating the grilled meat, but she felt a severe sense of defeat inside.

She possesses powerful magic, can inscribe spells, is also incredibly skilled in physical combat, and now even her cooking is outstanding...

She was very curious; what could possibly be something she couldn't find?

Seeing their happy smiles, Zhenxun smiled nonchalantly.

As a transmigrator from another country, isn't barbecuing an innate skill?

......

.....

...

The next day.

Since they had already played on the beach yesterday, the girls decided to go explore other places today.

Although the island also has a small commercial center, they decided to go there after learning that the commercial street on the nearby South Shield Island was more lively.

Perhaps due to its proximity to South Asia, South Shield Island is filled with Southeast Asian characteristics.

The only thing that seems out of place is the naval base not far from the commercial street on South Shield Island.

"Brother Zhenxun, come quick, come quick!"

Just as Makoto was gazing at the military base separated only by a waterway, he was called away by the sisters Kasumi and Izumi.

Kasumi pulled Izumi along.

The deep snow was accompanied by ripples on the water.

He and Mayumi followed at the back.

The group of five women and one man formed a particularly eye-catching sight on Nandun Island, and passing tourists couldn't help but stop and take a second look.

"You're so lucky. There are so many beautiful girls, but you're the only boy." Mayumi poked Mahiro with her finger.

"Is it my fault?" Mahiro shrugged innocently and whispered, "Who told me to be so charming?"

"Junior, you're really narcissistic."

Mayumi hummed softly, "In that case, let's ask the charming junior, Shinjiro, to help us with our luggage and be our protector."

"Of course, no problem, leave it to me."

However, when he said those words, he had no idea how serious the situation was.

I even feel a little regretful.

It's often said that shopping and strolling are a woman's nature, and Zhenxun has come to realize that this is absolutely true.

From morning until evening, the group of girls spent the entire time shopping, except for a quick lunch break!

Fortunately, most of the time they only looked and didn't buy, so he didn't become a complete baggage handler.

They didn't head to the hotel that Mayumi had arranged until sunset.

After finishing dinner, I returned to my room to rest.

Suddenly, there was a knock on Makoto's door.

"Junior, Zhenxun, you shouldn't be resting yet, right?"

"Oh, you haven't rested yet? Is there anything I can help you with, senior?"

It's Mayumi.

Not only did she come knocking on the door at night, but she also suddenly asked me to go out for a walk with her.

Although he didn't understand what it meant, he accepted the invitation anyway.

Feeling the cool sea breeze blowing under the night sky, I have to say that the night at the beach is much better than the sweltering heat of the day.

Mayumi, on the other hand, was wearing a white dress, a sun hat, and had her hair tied up in a single strand and placed in front of her chest.

Compared to her sexy swimsuit look yesterday, she now inexplicably exudes a more mature, wifely aura.

Perhaps it's because of that dangerous lady's hairstyle?

However, Mayumi then brought up something even more outrageous.

"bar?"

Mahiro looked at the senior next to him with a strange expression and said, "...Senior, are you kidding me? I know you're an adult and will be graduating from high school soon, but I'm still a minor."

"Oh, come on! It's okay to indulge yourself once in a while, right? Besides, you don't look like a minor at all right now, Masashi~"

Indeed, just as my senior said.

At this moment, he was not wearing beach shorts and a thin jacket, but a formal suit that he had been forced to buy by several women in the shopping street during the day.

After putting it on, he certainly didn't look like a minor student anymore; he looked more like a young, ambitious, and successful person.

Therefore, Mayumi forcibly dragged him to experience the nightlife—

In front of a bar.

Even before going inside, Mayumi turned back, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear:

"No calling me 'senpai' here, please call me Mayumi instead. Of course, I'll call you 'Mahiro-sensei' too."

That's really thoughtful.
