My anime girlfriend has come into my life

This is too much to handle. Even if I spend time with one person a day, I still wouldn't be able to finish in a month.

Thankfully, he was there with everyone, eating, playing games, and...

"Doctor, did anyone else from Rhodes Island come with me?"

Upon hearing Li Chaoge mention that so many people had arrived, Fengdi asked curiously.

She noticed that there weren't many people in the lobby and thought she had arrived too early, but she was surprised to find that there were more than ten people there.

"Exusiai and Platinum have arrived at Rhodes Island. They should still be upstairs playing computer games. You can go find them and play with them if you want."

Li Chaoge pointed upstairs. These guys seem to be getting addicted to the internet and becoming couch potatoes. They spend all their time in the computer room except for eating and sleeping.

However, for the world of Terra, where entertainment is not very developed, modern computer games are indeed incredibly fun and exciting.

"Computer games? You mean those played on machines? Never mind then."

Bagpipe had originally intended to greet Exusiai and the others, but upon hearing that they were playing with something far too complicated, she immediately shook her head and declined.

There are also "electronic devices" like cell phones in Arknights, but Bagpipe is prone to making mistakes and breaking them due to their complexity, so she keeps her distance from them.

"Those games are really fun. I'll teach you how to play them sometime."

Seeing Bagpipes immediately change his attitude and shake his head, Li Chaoge couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps because she was once a village girl and couldn't accept new things, Bagpipe is the type of person who is completely unfamiliar with electrical appliances. However, she is very good at driving, and she can handle agricultural machinery such as tractors with ease.

"Well, I can't possibly come alone, can I?"

After looking at the bagpipes and the Root Style, Mona asked a question from the side.

She wasn't particularly curious about the two of them. Although they had never met in person, they had all chatted in the group chat, and knowing just their names was enough to get a sense of each other's personalities.

Well, Bagpipe is alright, but Root seems to be quite powerful, probably someone she can't afford to mess with. However, she doesn't provoke anyone, so she doesn't need to worry about it too much.

"Here come Ayaka Kamisato and my sister, Hotaru. Mona, are you familiar with them?"

Li Chaoge looked at Mona. Compared to Bagpipe, who was only resistant to video games, Mona and Ayako Kamisato had nothing to say.

"Oh, them? I'm not really familiar with them."

Upon hearing that it was Ayaka Kamisato and Hikari, Mona frowned. It seemed that her appearance was just good luck, and that no one had specifically called her over.

If it were Jeanne, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, or Barbara Lisa, she might go over and chat with them, asking how they were doing a few days after arriving here, and if there was anything unusual. But she wouldn't bother with Ayaka Kamisato.

She was indeed not familiar with Ayaka Kamisato. Ayaka Kamisato was the young lady of the Inatsume Society. Although Mona knew her, Mona herself was mainly active in Mondstadt, and she was quite far away from Inatsume.

Although Ayaka Kamisato is said to be a wealthy young lady...

"Cuckoo..."

At this moment, a strange sound rang out, and Li Chaoge and Fengdi both turned their gazes to Mona.

Mona looked at them with a natural expression.

"Cuckoo..."

"Mona, are you hungry?"

Hearing the sound again, Bagpipe blinked and looked at Mona with a puzzled expression.

"..." Mona.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot to ask if you've eaten yet."

Seeing that Mona seemed a little embarrassed, Li Chaoge quickly got up to go to the kitchen to get something.

"I'm not hungry. I just forgot to eat because I was doing research before I came."

Feeling embarrassed, Mona put on a stern face and spoke righteously.

It's not that she doesn't have money for food!

"Yes, yes, you're really not hungry, I just wanted to treat you to something!" Looking at Mona's slightly flushed face, Li Chaoge nodded repeatedly, "Mona, wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat."

"If you're hungry, you have to eat properly. No matter what, you have to eat properly."

Bagpipes chimed in, saying that only when you're full can you have the energy to work, and being hungry will always put you in a bad mood.

Genji stood by without saying anything, just smiling as he watched them.

"I'm really not hungry!!!"

Feeling incredibly embarrassed, Mona glared at Li Chaoge with her face flushed red. How could this guy not understand human language!

Chapter 79. This time, we definitely won't be fooled so easily!

"Captain, what are you talking about that's making you so happy?"

After teasing Mona, Li Chaoge wanted to go to the kitchen to get her something nice to eat, but just as he was about to leave, he saw Seele, Bronya, and Lucia walking over with a teapot, teacups, and snacks.

Bronya went to the kitchen to say that a new person had arrived, so Seele naturally didn't just come over with a cup of tea; she also had to prepare other things.

When Seele asked Li Chaoge, Mona glared at him, not allowing him to continue talking about what had just happened.

It's one thing to lose face in front of those two people, since the damage is done and can't be undone, but what if everyone knew about this? Would she still have any face left?

"They didn't say anything, just that Fengpi and the others can cook, so things will be easier for you guys in the future."

Li Chaoge took the snacks and treats from Xier and the others, and shook his head at them with a smile.

He didn't mean to speak ill of Mona on purpose; it was just that Mona's poverty was deeply ingrained in people's minds. Despite being able to make money through astrology, she still maintained a simple, impoverished life, often struggling to make ends meet. He liked Mona very much for her diligence, principles, and slightly arrogant nature, as if he were seeing his younger self in her.

However, it's not good to tease Mona too much; girls also have their pride.

"Everyone knows how to cook? That's great! We've been so busy lately!"

Seele placed the tea set on the table, then looked at the three Root-type characters—Bagpipe, Mona, and the others—sitting on the sofa, and said with some surprise.

She still enjoys cooking for everyone and doesn't find it annoying or unpleasant.

However, recently the number of people has been increasing, and many of them have big appetites, so she and Lucia are indeed too busy to keep up.

"Need help with the cooking? No problem!"

Fengdi, who hadn't discussed it with Li Chaoge, was also taken aback, but she immediately patted her chest and agreed.

Although she can't cook the elaborate dishes served to nobles, she made many delicious meals when she was in the countryside, which should satisfy most people's needs. She also used to cook on Rhodes Island, and the Doctor and many operators there have said they really enjoyed her cooking, so she's quite confident in her abilities.

"I can help if you're too busy, but what I make might not suit your taste."

Root looked at Seele and Bagpipe, a gentle smile appearing on his perfectly delicate face, and agreed.

She rarely cooks at Chaldea, but if her Master needs help, she can still do some cooking.

There are currently over a dozen people here, and among the Chaldea Servants, only the lone wolf Lilith is present. If she doesn't do something, she'll likely be isolated by the other girls who like the Master. Although it's not a major problem—no particularly powerful characters have been identified yet—their strained relationship will likely give the Master a headache.

However, since there is such a shortage of chefs here, she can simply prepare some delicious food and then she should be able to blend in smoothly. At that time, she can comfortably watch her Master's chaotic scene.

"Hmm... I can usually handle most ingredients, but I'm very busy with research, so I might not be able to find the time to help you."

Seeing that Root and Bagpipe, who had come with her, had both agreed, Mona hesitated for a moment and stammered.

Aside from occasionally meeting up with Cleopatra and the others to discuss academics and grab a bite to eat, she usually cooks for herself, so helping out with simple tasks is a given.

However, she usually uses ingredients that are easy to find in the wild, such as mushrooms, wild fruits, and wild vegetables. She is confident that she can make vegetable salads and fruit salads very well, but she doesn't cook many other dishes. Seeing that other people are so confident, she feels that her cooking skills may not be very good.

"It would be great if you could lend a hand occasionally. It's not like we need you to take over all the kitchen work. We have a very talented head chef here, Lucia."

Seele nodded quickly and pulled Lucia over to introduce them.

Although Lucia is not very good at controlling the flavor, she is very skilled in other aspects such as knife skills and heat control, which is much better than Lucia, who is only good at stews and desserts.

"Hello, I'm Lucia..."

Lucia, who had been pulled over, looked at them and whispered. Usually calm and composed, she seemed a little downcast at this moment.

"Hello, I'm Bagpipe, the professor's good friend!"

Bagpipes immediately greeted Lucia warmly, but her enthusiasm did not affect Lucia.

Li Chaoge glanced at Lucia, who seemed uninterested, with a hint of confusion.

"Is he a very skilled chef? Then I'm relieved."

Mona breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Seele wasn't the only one doing the work, and that she would only help out occasionally.

"Call me Ryougi Shiki or Shiki, it's up to you."

Genyuan smiled and nodded in agreement with their pointless conversation, while also introducing himself.

Actually, I didn't do very well...

However, Lucia, who had been praised by Seele, looked at Mona, Bagpipe, and the other two Roots who all had some cooking skills, shook her head, and whispered.

"Ok?"

Bagpipe and Mona looked at Lucia, who denied it outright, with some confusion. Was she being modest? But judging from her expression, it didn't seem like she was.

"Commander, I'm sorry."

Lucia looked at Li Chaoge, pursed her lips, lowered her head silently, and whispered.

She felt that the three people who suddenly appeared were summoned because the commander was dissatisfied with the food she cooked. Although no one said anything to her during the meal, everyone was unhappy because of her.

"Lucia, what are you apologizing for? If it's because of lunch, then there's no need for it. You didn't do anything wrong."

Looking at Lucia who suddenly lowered her head, Li Chaoge said helplessly.

He had thought something was wrong that made Lucia in a bad mood, but now that he saw Lucia like this, he suddenly understood. It turned out to be the lunch they had just had. He had thought Lucia was just tired from cooking.

Why has this adorable Lucia suddenly become so sensitive? Her sentimental style doesn't suit her at all.

Bagpipe Mona and Root Style looked at Li Chaoge and Lucia's conversation with some confusion, but since they didn't know much about the matter, they didn't speak up immediately.

Bronya seemed thoughtful. She had sensed Lucia's low spirits while in the kitchen. She hadn't expected Lucia to be so concerned. Perhaps Lucia's request for the captain to summon someone skilled in cooking made her even more worried, perhaps fearing the captain's dislike.

"But I didn't cook well... Didn't the Commander call the others out because he thought I couldn't cook a good lunch?"

Lucia paused, then looked at Li Chaoge hesitantly.

That's exactly what she thought. After a few days, she still couldn't get used to it and kept putting the seasonings in the wrong places.

Although she trusted the commander and believed he wouldn't treat her badly over something so trivial, she still felt very unhappy because she had betrayed his trust.

She was even more unhappy now that she saw the arrival of a new person who seemed to be taking over her task of cooking for the commander.

If only Liv were here, she's messed up the mission the commander gave her, and there's no way to fix it...

"Of course not, I just think you and Xier are too busy and tired. You have to prepare meals for more than a dozen people every day, buy groceries, wash vegetables, cook and clean. If that's the case, you won't have much time for yourself in the future."

Li Chaoge looked at the adorable Lucia with amusement and explained, "Isn't it better now that someone is helping you? Otherwise, it's too tiring for you and Seele to be busy for so long every time."

While summoning three times in a row was partly due to what Lucia mentioned, he mainly wanted to make things easier for Seele, Lucia, and the others.

If he really disliked Lucia's cooking, he would have cooked for her himself long ago; why would he let Lucia control his stomach?

Besides, everyone was very understanding and didn't say anything. Even though Paimon couldn't stand the saltiness, she just took a few big gulps of her drink and continued eating. No one would really blame her.

"really?"

After hearing Li Chaoge's explanation, Lucia looked at him somewhat bewildered, her eyes filled with confusion.

She can be decisive and fight hard in battle, but she still doesn't understand many things in the little things of life, and she doesn't know how to be decisive even if she wants to.

"Really? You don't even believe what the commander says?"

Li Chaoge looked at the adorable Lucia with a helpless smile, reached out and touched her twin ponytails, and then pulled out his trump card.

As the commander of the Gray Raven squad, how could Lucia refuse when he revealed his identity?

"Of course not!"

Lucia quickly shook her head in denial; how could she not believe the commander's words?

"That's settled then. Lucia, just focus on cooking for me and don't worry about anything else."

Shaking his head and smiling, Li Chaoge was speechless at Lucia's overthinking.

Binglu is such a goofball; she overthinks things even when she doesn't cook a meal perfectly. Making mistakes while cooking is perfectly normal; it's not like it happens every day.

"Okay, fine..."

Realizing that she might have let the commander say something he shouldn't have, Lucia, her pretty face slightly flushed, quickly apologized to Bagpipe and the others: "Um, I'm so sorry. I wasn't too happy that the commander asked you to come and help me."

This was a huge blunder; she hadn't expected the commander to not mind at all.
