"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, Kotori is just too cute, I couldn't control myself."

Kotori crossed her arms, looking angry, and threw a pillow from the bed at Mo Li.

Mo Li casually lifted the pillow, grabbed it, placed it on the headboard, and said:

"Kotori, have you decided where to go on your date today?"

"Yes, of course. My older sister has always been in charge of your meals. This time, I want to try your cooking myself."

"Oh, you want me to cook? Well, that's not impossible."

In the other world, Mo Li also served as a chef, although all she could do was grill meat and fish.

Since Kotori wanted to eat, Mo Li was willing to do something for his family.

It's just cooking, what's so difficult about that? You just put the meat and vegetables in the pot, that's how it's done on TV, and that's how Shiori taught me too.

At this moment, Kotori had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation, and grabbed Mo Li's arm with both hands and pulled him out.

"Get up quickly. If you don't want to compete with the elderly for ingredients, you have to go early."

"I know, I know, don't pull me, wait a minute, I'm not dressed yet."

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Qinli pulled Moli out of the blanket and realized that he was naked, so she immediately screamed.

Then Mo Li heard a loud "bang" as the door slammed shut, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

After Mo Li changed her clothes and left the room, Qin Li was sitting on the sofa, sulking, her blush still lingering.

"Come on, Kotori, I'll let you taste my cooking today!"

"Hmph, let me make this clear first, I only came out on this date with you to investigate that sphere."

"Yes, yes, I know!"

Knowing Kotori's tsundere nature, Mo Li didn't take her words to heart at all.

The two arrived at a nearby store, where the shelves were filled with ingredients, and there was a whole counter of meat, including tenderloin, pork shoulder, pork belly, pork leg, minced meat, and so on.

But for Mo Li, these are basically the same thing: always pick the expensive ones, that's the right thing to do.

Upon seeing this, Kotori frowned; things didn't seem as simple as she had imagined.

"Hey, Mo Li, can you really cook?"

"Don't worry, just get ready to eat a whole pound!"

Mo Li patted his chest and assured her, but this only increased Qin Li's unease.

After browsing the meat section, I went to the vegetable and condiment sections and bought a lot of ingredients and seasonings.

Just as the two were about to pay, Kotori suddenly noticed something, ran to the snack section, and her eyes lit up.

Upon closer inspection, Mo Li realized that the lollipops had a new flavor, which explained why Kotori was so excited.

"Kotori, why do you wear a black headband on your date?"

"Why, can't it?"

"No, I still think you look cuter with the white hairband. After all, you're still my little sister."

Hearing Mo Li say that she was cute, Kotori's face turned red again, much to her dismay.

Looking at Mo Li, who was full of questions, Qin Li sighed and turned her head to the side.

"Is this... all right, Brother Mo Li?"

"Oh, it's an extremely rare white hairband. Thank you, Kotori. It's really nice."

Kotori manually switched to the white hairband mode. At this moment, she looked like an innocent little sister, holding Mo Li's hand and skipping along the street.

The two returned to the Elf Apartment. Mo Li took out a large basin from the kitchen, quickly prepared the ingredients, and then dumped them all in, along with seasonings.

Kotori watched Mo Li's actions, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead. Was this really okay?

For a moment, Kotori suddenly regretted letting Mo Li cook for her.

Looking at Qinli's expression, Mo Li knew that she definitely didn't trust her cooking skills. Although they weren't particularly outstanding, she would soon discover the charm of Chinese hot pot.

Mo Li turned on the gas stove, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted from the pot.

"What is that? It smells so good! You just put the ingredients in, how did you manage to do that?"

"Hmph, this is my exclusive secret recipe, how could I possibly tell you so easily?"

The aroma quickly attracted the other members of the family: Nia, Yoshino, Tohka, Yuzuru, Kaguya, and Miku, who were all drooling as they peered at the hot pot from the doorway.

Because of a prior agreement, no one rushed in; this was a date just for Kotori.

Kotori also saw the crowd at the door, smiled, changed the white hairband on (Zhao's) head to black, and said:

"What are you doing? Hurry up and come in!"

"Yes, let's all eat together! I bought lots of ingredients!"

Mo Li also invited, saying that eating together is definitely more enjoyable than eating alone.

Although Tohka was very tempted, remembering their previous promise, she wiped her drool and said:

"Hey, really? Can we really go in and eat together?"

"Of course, hot pot is only truly delicious when eaten together! Come on in, Ku."

After receiving Mo Li's approval, everyone rushed in and sat down around the table.

Judging by the time, the meat in the hot pot was almost cooked. After saying "Let's start eating," everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

"Oh, it's so delicious! How can there be something so delicious in the world!"

"It's so hot, darling, can you blow on it for me?"

"Hey, you woman, don't go too far! Mo Li, I got burned too!"

Chapter 152 Reencounter with Kurumi, Tohka's Gourmet Plan

Kotori patted her already bloated stomach. Honestly, I hope I'll gain weight again tomorrow.

Envy was directed at Tohka; despite having the biggest appetite among all the family members, she had never gained weight.

While everyone else had finished eating and drinking, Tohka was still battling with food.

After picking up the last piece of meat from the pot with her chopsticks, Shi Xiang still felt it wasn't enough and said to Mo Li:

"Mo Li, is there any more? I can eat a little more."

"Yes, I'll get it for you, just wait a moment!"

"Tohka-chan, aren't you full yet? Wow, is your stomach a bottomless pit?"

Mo Li got up to get the remaining meat and vegetables from the kitchen. As soon as she opened the refrigerator, she sensed something was wrong.

Turning around, he found Mayuri standing at the door, staring intently at him without moving.

Hey, this is going too far! You know that's trespassing.

"You've got some nerve, daring to follow me right into my house. Let's see where you run this time."

Mo Li stared intently at Wan Youli, and as soon as he took a step, Wan Youli vanished from his sight.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

A loud shout attracted the attention of the other family members. By the time Kotori looked in their direction, Mo Li had already chased after them.

Although everyone was somewhat confused, they all realized what was going on and stood up to chase after them outside.

Mo Li chased after her all the way to the street, but Wan Youli was nowhere to be found. He looked up and stared at the sphere in the sky. Could she have gone back there?

Just as Mo Li was about to fly up to investigate, Qin Li's voice suddenly interrupted him from afar.

"Mo Li, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Didn't any of you notice just now? Mayuri, she..."

"Mayuri? Who's that? Hey, Mo Li, when did you start hooking up with another elf again?"

"Oh dear, I want to know too, Mo Li Jun!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Mo Li stopped in her tracks. Tokisaki Kurumi—perhaps she knew something inside.

Everyone stood beside Mo Li, their eyes fixed on Kurumi, who had sprung out of the shadows.

"Kurumi, do you know something, um?!"

Mo Li pointed to the giant sphere in the sky, believing that Kurumi could definitely see it too.

"I'm so sorry, although I can see it too, I really don't know what it is, but I can sense that it's coming for you, Mo Lijun."

"As expected, Kurumi, this is related to the starter spirit, right?"

"Hmm, as expected of Mo Lijun, you saw through the truth at a glance."

The judgment system—was that mosaic's doing again, specifically designed to deal with his own angels?

Mo Li wanted to ask more, but Kurumi didn't give him the chance, saying:

"Let me give you one last piece of advice: the changes in people's hearts are something even you can't predict."

"What do you mean?"

Kurumi did not respond to the question again, and disappeared into the shadows once more.

Don't be a riddle reader. If you're not smart enough, can't you just explain things clearly?

Mo Li shook his head, losing interest in flying up again. He led everyone back home. In short, tomorrow was the last date, and the truth would surely come out then.

The night passed quickly. After getting up, Mo Li looked at the sphere in the sky. Today, the result would be determined.

Mo Li had arranged to meet Tohka in front of the food street. After getting ready, she headed straight to their meeting place.

"Yo, Tohka, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"No, no, I just arrived not long ago."

"You dressed up specially today, Tohka, it suits you very well."

"Is that so? Let's go, Mo Li. I'm going to have a big time with Mo Li today."

Shi Xiang, holding Mo Li's hand, walked straight into the snack street, which was one of the most bustling streets in Tian Gong City.

I think my first date with Tohka was right here.

Mo Li looked up at the Chinese restaurant, the place where he and Shi Xiang started.

"First of all, this is the place, the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). I had them with Yoshino and the others last time, and they were delicious."

"Xiaolongbao, ah, I really miss it. No wonder Tohka recommended this place."

"Hmph, of course, hoohoo!"

Shi Xiang ate all the steamed buns in the box in one bite, and looked very happy to receive Mo Li's praise.

Mo Li also tried it, and it was indeed quite delicious, juicy, and with plenty of filling.

"So, where should we go on our date next?"

"Well, down there's the takoyaki shop, then there's grilled skewers, crepes, Japanese fried noodles, shaved ice, squid balls, and American hot dogs..."

"Oh, what a Tohka-style date!"

"Right? I've looked into all the dates so far, and I've noticed that food rarely comes up during them. But Mo Li's hot pot is really delicious!"

So that's how it is. We'll eat our way through this whole street, Mo Li thought. Luckily, she still had the black card Kotori had given her before; otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to afford to support them.

For Tohka, a date is about going out to eat with Mori, also known as a culinary date.

The two ate their way from one end of the food street to the other, and of course, their main meal was still at that Chinese restaurant.

Looking at Shi Xiang eating heartily, Mo Li felt a little ashamed. He was already full from the snacks, and no matter how delicious the food was, he couldn't eat anymore.

But Tohka is different; even after eating so much, she can still swallow a whole bowl of rice in one go.

"Delicious! This is really delicious, Mo Li!"

"Mmm, then eat more. As expected of Tohka's date plan."

"Is that so, Mo Li? Here, have this."
