"Because it's really delicious. You know, I don't usually get to eat hot meals," Xia Sheng replied lazily.

"Oh right... Doesn't Shiina usually make extra for you?" Yui Yuigahama glanced at Shiina Mahiru's back as she washed the dishes in the kitchen and asked softly.

"It happens occasionally, mainly depending on her mood."

"Occasionally...?"

"After all, she has no obligation to do it for me."

“That makes sense…” Yui Yuigahama pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

It seems that the two are just ordinary neighbors and friends.

So, Shiina, have you thought about the future?

Yui Yuigahama felt that with Shiina Mahiru's intelligence, she must have foreseen the future developments, just like Yukino Yukinoshita.

So, what were her thoughts?

Is it better to accept it gradually, or...?

"What's wrong with you? Why are you spacing out?" Natsumi raised his hand and waved it in front of Yuigahama Yui.

"It's nothing." Yui Yuigahama came back to her senses and shook her head.

"By the way, between Yukinoshita and Shiina, who do you think cooks better?"

“...You always ask so many questions!” Xia Sheng glared at her, annoyed.

Just now, when faced with Shiina Mahiru's question, Natsuo naturally treated her fairly, answering that all four dishes were equally delicious.

He had no idea who cooked which dish.

Of course, even if you knew, there wouldn't be any other answer.

This is a life-threatening question.

However, he wasn't lying. All four dishes were truly delicious and suited his taste perfectly, with no dietary restrictions whatsoever.

It would be even better if we could eat it every day.

After a short while, Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina finished washing the dishes and cleaning up the trash. They rested for a while before continuing their experiments.

There were no results in the afternoon.

The reason for this is ultimately a matter of magic.

If they don't have magic power within them, there's nothing that can be done; Xia Sheng's abilities simply cannot be shared with them.

Ultimately, it comes down to how close they are.

Xia Sheng was well aware of this situation; it was highly likely that they wanted him to develop a very close relationship with them.

He had this idea the moment his interlocked fingers began to work.

He'd seen this kind of setup countless times.

However, he should pretend he knows nothing about it, since he is the one who benefits.

This may be the purpose of the world.

He is an outsider, not belonging to this world, and if the world cannot deal with an invader, then His people are even less likely to be able to.

But Xia Sheng is different. He is not restricted. If the people of this world are assimilated by him, he can also break free from the constraints of this world.

As for how they are assimilated, those who know, know.

The world is clearly using him, but this use is entirely beneficial to him, and he can accept it.

He has already provided the conditions; now it's up to him to see how far he can go.

As evening approached, Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama prepared to go home, not planning to stay for dinner.

Moreover, Yui Yuigahama will be going to that place with him that night, so he needs to go back and prepare.

Natsuo and Shiina Mahiru escorted them to the entrance of the apartment building, and he also gave them the first volume of "Konosuba".

"This light novel is the one I mentioned I was going to introduce to you before. It's really good. You can go back and check it out, and also learn about the monster settings in it."

“I’ve already read most of it, and it’s really interesting,” Shiina Mahiru said with a smile.

"Is it."

Yukino Yukinoshita took it, glanced at the very common light novel cover, and noticed the author's and illustrator's names.

She glanced at Xia Sheng, but said nothing.

It seems they've guessed something.

"KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! I understand. I'll go back and take a good look." Yui Yuigahama glanced at the book title and said earnestly.

"See you tonight then."

"Well, see you tonight!"

After watching the two leave, Natsumi and Shiina Mahiru went home.

To Natsuo's surprise, Shiina Mahiru followed him to his house.

"What are you doing?"

"What? Now that Yukinoshita and the others are gone, I'm not allowed to come to your house anymore?" Shiina Mahiru retorted, her tone a little cold.

"Of course not, you're welcome to come into my house," Xia Sheng quickly replied.

"That's more like it. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll make dinner and call you when it's ready," Shiina Mahiru said, walking towards the kitchen.

Xia Sheng stood there, staring blankly at her, wondering if he had misheard.

Is there such a good thing?

"Are you telling the truth?" he followed up with the question.

"There's still some food left, it would be a waste not to cook it, and you don't know how to cook anyway." Shiina Mahiru took the remaining food out of the refrigerator, explaining as she began to wash it.

"Then I'll help you out," Xia Sheng said, leaning closer.

"Do you know?"

"You underestimate me, don't you?"

Xia Sheng can handle the simple task of preparing ingredients.

With Natsumi's help, Shiina Mahiru's preparation time was shortened considerably, and soon the sound of stir-frying could be heard from the kitchen.

Xia Sheng had already returned to the living room, so there was nothing more he could do to help.

However, he did nothing, just leaned against the back of the sofa, watching Shiina Mahiru's busy figure.

A feeling of happiness welled up inside me.

After preparing the meal, Shiina Mahiru stayed to eat with them. Not counting lunchtime, this was the first time the two of them had sat down to eat together.

The two ate their meal quietly without exchanging much words, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

After the meal, Shiina Mahiru wanted to wash the dishes, but Natsuo stopped her.

She's already cooked for him, so he'll definitely have to take care of the rest.

Shiina Mahiru wasn't in a hurry to go back. She sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Natsuo wash the dishes, slightly lost in thought.

After Xia Sheng finished washing up, she went back.

Xia Sheng was bored, so he went to the art studio to draw illustrations.

He has already finished writing the second volume of "Konosuba". Once the illustrations are finished, he can hand it over to Kuroneko to arrange the release date.

The first volume is currently very popular and has a high level of interest within the community.

There are many funny novels, and there are also well-written novels, but there are none that are both funny and well-written.

The author is still a newcomer.

Moreover, this pen name has led many people to mistakenly believe that she is a female author.

It became even more popular with readers.

Xia Sheng plans to capitalize on the hype and release the second volume in a month.

This will surely surprise many readers.

When the third volume comes out a month later, they will realize that something is wrong.

This author is a word machine!

In an era where only one volume is published every quarter or half a year, Xia Sheng's "Inner Struggle" will be loved by readers.

Who doesn't like an author who updates frequently?

Xia Sheng drew until after 10 p.m. before taking a shower and going to bed.

After falling asleep, when I opened my eyes again, it was that place.

It is the first floor.

"Natsuo, good evening~" Yui Yuigahama walked towards him excitedly.

"Good evening," Xia Sheng replied, glancing around.

It was indeed the first floor. He had thought he would go to the second floor with Yui Yuigahama.

What will today's slime look like?

“Natsuo, this isn’t the second floor, is it?” Yui Yuigahama asked.

"Hmm, still the first floor."

"I thought we were going to the second floor."

"It's only a matter of time."

“Um…” Yui Yuigahama grabbed Natsuo’s sleeve, tilting her head up with her cheeks slightly flushed.

"what happened?"

"Well... while the slime hasn't appeared yet, should we try it out here?" Yui Yuigahama asked softly.

"Test it here?"

"Yes...maybe there will be a different effect here..." Yui Yuigahama's voice grew softer and softer.

Looking at the shy Yui Yuigahama, whose charming appearance made Natsumi's heart flutter: "It seems like I could give it a try."

"That......"

"Try it."

Natsumi took Yui Yuigahama's hand, their fingers intertwined, and magic appeared.

Chapter 77 Yui Yuigahama's Kiss

The shimmering white magical light enveloped Xia Sheng's hands like a thin gauze glove, serving as a beacon in the dim space.

Yui Yuigahama's gaze fell on the two people's intertwined hands, her eyes gleaming with a magical light.

She had never really looked at it properly before, but at this moment, she discovered how beautiful the magic was.

Natsumi begins to manipulate magic, attempting to attach it to Yui Yuigahama's hand.

but failed.

"Looks like this place won't work either," Xia Sheng said helplessly, shaking his head.

"Try again... a hug," Yui Yuigahama suggested softly.

“Okay.” Xia Sheng didn’t stand on ceremony and hugged her directly.

We've already done this during the day, so there's nothing to be shy about.

Yui Yuigahama, dressed in sportswear, was held in his arms; she was warm and soft, like a plush toy.

Her short, light brown hair, which was loose and flowing, had a faint fragrance—the scent of shampoo.

Souls shouldn't have a fragrance, right?

Then the only option is for the physical form to come over.
