Chapter 284 Albedo's Abnormality, White Feather Delivering Takeout (Please Subscribe~)

For Suzuki Satoru, the World Tree was his only form of entertainment and a tool for communicating with the outside world, aside from the Shiraha shop. Now, this thing was about to disappear from his world in four days.

This news was not a pleasant one for Suzuki Satoru; in fact, it caused his initial joy to plummet.

"Forget it... let's cherish these last moments... I wonder if Bai Yu will even be able to log on once on this last day..."

After sending a message to Shiraha, Suzuki Satoru skillfully entered the game and began his daily tasks and raids.

Meanwhile, some of the former top-tier accounts have started selling their once-brilliant, one-of-a-kind equipment—which they used to flaunt on the world chat—at low or average prices. Of course, these transactions are all done with real money.

Many people wanted to experience these powerful equipment before the server shut down, while others wanted to fulfill their dream of having god-tier gear at the end, and still others wanted to improve their ranking or see how those god-level subordinates could command effectively.

In short, when Suzuki Satoru stood in the guild hall, he appeared remarkably calm as he watched the world channel filled with news of acquisitions and sales; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was completely indifferent.

However, he knew that every time an account's world equipment was traded, it meant that the player was about to leave this world, or was waiting for the moment the server would shut down, so that they could leave with nothing, just like when they first entered the game.

Suzuki Satoru didn't know if Shiraha would see the message, but after glancing at Albedo standing to the side and remaining silent for a long time, he left the guild to do some quests.

Suzuki Satoru knew that even though it was to say goodbye and bid farewell to Albedo, Shiraha would still enter the game to take a look. Albedo still had that stoic expression unique to NPCs, but she looked somewhat sad in the empty guild hall.

However, what no one noticed was that Albedo looked at a chair in front of her in front of the guild and gave a strange smile, but it disappeared very quickly, so quickly that people even doubted whether they had seen it wrong.

Even as she came downstairs, Kraki was still praising Kasugano Sora's room. Girls tend to pay extra attention to their quality of life, and no girl would dislike such an exquisite and beautiful room.

Lucifer looked at Klara with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is there anything special about Kyō's room?"

"Absolutely gorgeous!" x5

Lucifer tilted her head. Her room seemed to be exactly as it was at the beginning. It looked like it needed some decorating. But it seemed like everything she was interested in was in Hell. If she went back, she might never be able to come back...

If it were Pandemonica and the others, it would be fine, but if that devil of tobacco and alcohol found out... just thinking about it makes Lucifer tremble. Who knows what will happen to those two wicked guys if they find out!

Everyone looked at Lucifer, who suddenly stood there shaking his head in terror, with puzzled expressions. Cerberus, however, was casually playing on his phone while leaning on the table, saying, "Don't worry about it, this is normal for Lucifer... Master... Bai Yu said Lucifer is just being tsundere..."

Everyone nodded and then looked at Kasugano Sora. They remembered how Shiraha introduced Kasugano Sora, saying that she was a tsundere but quite cute.

Kasugano Sora felt like she was being targeted too easily here, and the next moment she said in an annoyed tone, "I'm not tsundere!"

"Oh~" x6

Kasugano Sora's lips twitched. She knew without a doubt that these guys didn't believe her at all; their perfunctory attitude was practically overflowing. Kasugano Sora didn't say anything, just snorted and took out her phone to play.

Hibiki Sakura asked in confusion, "Eh? Cerberus-neechan, what are you playing? You seem to be having a lot of fun?"

"Oh? It's nothing, we were just chatting~"

Upon hearing this, Lucifer asked in confusion, "Huh? Cerberus, who are you chatting with? In a group chat? But I didn't see any messages in the group."

Cerberus scratched his head and said, "I don't know her name either, but I've been chatting with her a lot these past few days, it's been quite interesting~"

Lucifer, having already spoken, said, "Eh? Who is it?"

"Ugh... Esdeath!"

Upon hearing this name, Lucifer seemed to recall something, his lips twitching as he said irritably, "That Esdeath really has a lot of free time... But don't you know her name?"

"Because there's also someone called the Electronic Empress..."

Lucifer nodded, then thought for a moment and said in confusion, "Huh? Ah! The one who does the photo editing? She seems quite interesting. How did you end up chatting with her?"

"She started chatting with me because she asked me if I wanted her to edit the photos of me and Lucifer. She's really amazing! And she's very funny!"

Lucifer nodded and didn't say anything more, but Klara asked in confusion, "Huh? What group? What electronic empress? What are you talking about? Online friends?"

Cerberus was about to say something when Lucifer said with a resentful look, "This is why Bai Yu is called a big pig's trotter... Victims' Alliance?"

Kraki now knew what group it was and was curious about who was in it. Akemi Souin casually remarked, "My sister was so angry about Lucifer and your chat that her hands were shaking... but it was probably Kirari's doing..."

"Huh? Your sister and Kirari are here too..."

"Yes~"

Just as Klara was about to say something, she heard Bai Yu walk out carrying a lunchbox and say, "Klara, Lucifer, in ten minutes, turn the heat down to low."

Lucifer responded and then asked in confusion, "Where are you going? Isn't it business hours now?"

"Yeah, so I'm going to deliver some takeout."

Kraki, Ayaka, and the others exclaimed in surprise, "Baiyu/Baiyu-nii, you can order takeout here?!"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "Of course~ Don't you all know that Xiao Qiong used to order takeout from me all the time? But most people will choose to eat by themselves~ I'm leaving now, it should be ready by the time I get back."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he left. He hadn't been out long when he returned and said to the shop, "If any customers come in, just ask them to wait a moment..."

"oh.."

Chapter 285 Wu Fengshui in a Hurry, and Izumi Sagiri (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Bai Yu walked in one direction with the dishes in her hand. After looking at the dishes in her hand, she said with some helplessness, "She really is an exceptionally picky eater. I wonder if she and Xiao Qiong will have much in common."

At that moment, Kasugano Sora suddenly felt a chill down her back, as if she was being watched by something. After turning her head and finding nothing there, she continued playing on her phone.

Kasugano Sora's daily life is quite monotonous. She basically plays games, browses online forums, watches movies and TV series, checks social media updates, and occasionally glances at a textbook before putting it aside. It's amazing how she can stay still like that.

Maybe it's like what Hibiki Sakura said, she's a rich loli, she'd be better off staying at home as a homebody. Kasugano Sora learns a lot of her lifestyle habits from the updates posted by Yumiko and the others on her contact list.

Lucifer, propping his head up with his hand and sipping his drink, said, "It feels like Baiyu has a lot of customers in some ways, but it seems like many of them don't come very often."

Akemi Souyuuin nodded and said, "Yeah~ When I used to come here with my sister, we always saw a lot of interesting guests, but it seems like we don't see them coming as often now. They must all be pretty busy~"

Kraki thought for a moment and said, "Have you guys noticed that the guests at Shiraha's place seem to be very well-mannered and quite interesting? That guy before, Saitama, right... he was very interesting, and seemed like a good person too..."

Everyone nodded, and Zhu Mei said with a smile, "Mr. Saitama, it's been so long since I've seen him. I wonder if he still has hair...?"

"Gone!" x3

Lucifer, Cerberus, and Kraki all spoke at the same time, startling everyone. Akemi burst out laughing, saying, "If Saitama's expression didn't have hair... hahahaha!" (Saitama: Serious Punch Warning?)

Lucifer and Claire couldn't help but laugh out loud. Cerberus chuckled and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! That guest named Saitama looks kind of silly and funny~ He looks a bit like an egg..."

"Hahaha!" x3

Kraki and the other two were immediately amused, while Sakura Hibiki and the others looked puzzled. Kasugano Sora had always ordered takeout and had never seen Saitama even when she came, so she didn't know what Saitama looked like.

Ayaka laughed and said, "Maybe it's because there are so many interesting customers like this that Shiraha-nii likes to open a restaurant~ After all, Shiraha-nii seems to have plenty of money..."

Kraki nodded and said, "There's no way they'd be short of money! Otherwise, a dish of this caliber wouldn't be this pricey. Besides, they're competing, how could they be short of money?"

Gina said excitedly, "I really want to see Bai Yu and Gao Lang fight! It'll be so interesting! Whoosh! A fight where every punch lands is so exciting!" (Gao Lang: Are you cursing me?)

Lucifer asked doubtfully, "When Gaolang came before, Little Peach seemed to have mentioned that Gaolang was some kind of God of War. Is that guy very powerful?"

At this point, Gina stood up and said with admiration, "Of course! Gaolang has dominated four boxing teams and perfectly combined Muay Thai and boxing. He's invincible in his own country!"

At this point, Kraki nodded and said, "Yes, yes~ This person is indeed very famous. You know, while others use straight punches and uppercuts, he uses jabs, and his attack speed is incredibly fast and powerful. It's rumored that he can do sixteen jabs in one breath, which is amazing!"

Ayaka's lips twitched as she said, "Ah... I guess so..."

Lucifer thought for a moment and said, "Oh~ that must be pretty powerful, but it seems Gaolang can't beat Bai Yu, Gaolang himself said so..."

"Eh?" x6

After Lucifer recounted what happened that night, Gina stammered, "No way...that's way too exaggerated..."

She ran out, then ran back to the shop. Seeing a small, cracked hole not far away and a fissure on the wall, she exclaimed, "Wow! They're still okay! Bai Yu and the others are really that high-level!"

Cerberus said proudly, "Of course! Bai Yu is very powerful! In every aspect!"

Hearing this from all angles, Kraki glanced at Lucifer, whose expression also twitched slightly. There really wasn't anything wrong with that statement...

Seeing Lucifer's reaction, Klaqi knew what it meant. She was immediately shocked and then froze. With some unknown courage, she sent the sentence, which she had translated herself, to Dekla. After that, she lay on the table and didn't move.

"Yo! Hello everyone~ Eh? Isn't this Sora? Eh? Akemi's here too~"

Just then, everyone saw Wu Fengshui carrying a large box as she walked in. Kasugano Sora and Akemi nodded and said, "Good evening, Fengshui-neechan..."

"Hmm~ How obedient you are~ Lucifer~ Where's Bai Yu?"

"Off to deliver takeout~ Will you wait a bit?"

Wu Fengshui waved his hand and went into the kitchen by himself. He came out a short while later with a sandwich and a box of juice, saying as he drank, "Um~ I'm leaving now~ I put the money on the table for Bai Yu~ I have something important to do~ See you later~"

After saying that, she hurriedly left with her luggage. Sakura Hibiki and the others looked puzzled. Lucifer tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Where did she go?"

Zhu Mei shook her head and said, "I don't know~ I only know a little bit about what happened to my sisters... By the way, it seems like ten minutes are almost up~"

Lucifer was taken aback, then threw down his phone and ran to the kitchen. Cerberus didn't pay any attention and continued chatting with the person called the Electronic Empress.

Bai Yu looked at the familiar building in front of him, sighed, and coughed lightly. The next moment, he saw a sign slowly protruding from the window.

Bai Yu sighed and said, "I left it at the door anyway. Remember to eat it all. Also, I made your favorite tomato and tofu soup without meat. Remember not to drink it too fast..."

Bai Yu was about to turn and leave after speaking when he heard a soft voice from inside the house say, "Brother Bai Yu... thank you..."

Hearing the voice, Bai Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Finally, you can speak with your own voice~ It's okay, eat up. But next time, try eating a little more meat or adding a little more salt, otherwise you'll really have no energy~"

"Well...."

"Then I'll be going now, eat it all up~ Sagiri~"

Chapter 286 The Story of Izumi Sagiri and Shiraha (Please Subscribe~)

Not long after Bai Yu left, Izumi Sagiri, who was sitting in the entryway, quickly opened the door, took the food from the doorway inside, and then smoothly closed and locked the door, along with the anti-theft chain.

Shiraha naturally didn't stay to watch Izumi Sagiri take all the food inside before leaving. He really left right after he finished speaking, because Sagiri has a skill similar to the legendary seventh sense, which allows her to sense whether someone has left or not.

After carrying the food, Izumi Sagiri breathed a sigh of relief and slowly returned to her room. Only after locking the door did she feel completely safe.

Izumi Sagiri is very similar to Kasugano Sora. The only difference might be that Izumi Sagiri doesn't eat just any snacks and is more picky about food. Most importantly, Izumi Sagiri never goes out and doesn't have any major health problems, although she is quite weak.

However, both of them are quite pitiful, as they have both lost their parents. Another difference between Kasugano Sora and Izumi Sagiri is that Kasugano Sora doesn't want to go to school for various reasons, while Izumi Sagiri is afraid to go to school because the school has given her too much trauma.

After Izumi Sagiri took away her electronic drawing board, she placed the dishes on the table. They were three simple dishes, and in some ways, almost anyone could make them.

A steaming bowl of tomato and tofu soup, a plate of Longjing shrimp, a vegetable salad, and a bowl of rice—anyone could make these dishes. The only difficult part might be turning the thick omelet into an omelet.

Izumi Sagiri is a very picky eater. She basically avoids oily foods and meat, and prefers dishes with very little seasoning. Therefore, her cooking is both simple and complex...

It's simple because almost all the dishes are just stir-fried or mixed with water, at most steamed or boiled. The word "stir-fry" can basically be skipped, as it's very easy to handle. But that's for a normal restaurant.

Bai Yu and Izumi Sagiri have known each other for several years. However, Bai Yu was quite surprised at the time that Izumi Sagiri was so picky about food. After that, Sagiri would call Bai Yu at noon or in the afternoon to order food, wearing a mask and changing her voice. However, most of the time, she would let Bai Yu make the decision.

At first, Sagiri would order the food herself, but gradually it became that she would just call Shiraha to let him know that the food was to be delivered to her that day.

Bai Yu went to great lengths for this, making sure that each meal he delivered was different from the last one, and he also controlled the quantity, because Sagiri couldn't eat it all. He also had to ensure a balanced diet, taking into account protein, fat, vitamins, and dietary fiber. So Bai Yu had quite a headache.

Izumi Sagiri stared at the dish in front of her for a moment, then said with some surprise, "Wow... Shiraha-nii made Longjing Shrimp again... Hmm... I'm so conflicted... I feel like I can't possibly finish this..."

Despite saying that, Izumi Sagiri still picked up her chopsticks and slowly began to eat. When she tasted the Longjing shrimp, her eyes narrowed, and she whispered, "Mmm~ As expected, Shiraha-nii's cooking is the best... it's just a bit far away..."

That's right. Izumi Sagiri doesn't often order takeout from Shiraha because she doesn't want Shiraha to have to travel so far and go back to work, which might cause her to lose customers and be very tired. Obviously, she underestimated Shiraha's physical strength.

This short distance is like a stroll for Shiraha, so Izumi Sagiri usually orders other takeout, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and milk. She delivers them to the door and waits for people to leave before picking them up, then boils them herself or orders ready-made takeout. Although she always finishes the food, she never finds it very tasty.

Izumi Sagiri ate her meal quietly, her bare little feet swinging under the table, occasionally letting out a soft hum. As if remembering something, she picked up her phone, found Shiraha's number in the list of only three people, sent a message, and then continued to enjoy her dinner.

On his way back, Bai Yu heard his phone ring and picked it up to look at it. It simply said, "Brother Bai Yu, the food was delicious, but it seems like you made too much..."

Bai Yu just smiled, put away his phone, and said nothing. To be honest, it was quite strange that Bai Yu knew Izumi Sagiri, because Bai Yu knew Sagiri's mother. Her mother had once brought back dishes from Bai Yu's place. Although she later died in a car accident with her second husband, leaving only Izumi Sagiri.

One day, when Bai Yu received a call from Izumi Sagiri, he was stunned by the girl's voice-changing mask. Later, after learning about the incident, Bai Yu comforted her at the door for quite a while, but Sagiri still didn't come out.

Shiraha later learned that Sagiri had learned from her mother that the dish was brought back from her, which was why she called her that day and ordered the milk pudding that her mother had brought back that day.

After that, Izumi Sagiri frequently ordered this dish for a while. Every time Shiraha came, he would comfort her with a few words, but he would not comfort her with words like "everything will pass." Such comforting words are cruel, because some things cannot be overcome.

Bai Yu would basically say something interesting each time, tell her what dishes were available, tell her to eat them all, and then say a few words like "call me if you need anything" before leaving.

Gradually, Izumi Sagiri and Shiraha became more familiar with each other, but the frequency of ordering takeout decreased to once every now and then. This continued for almost two years until a few months ago when Sagiri would finally stick out a cardboard sign and say a few words to him, which was a big improvement.

"This girl...sigh...it would be interesting if she could meet Sora...Sagiri is probably a tsundere too...but she seems to be a middle schooler...the tsundere of a middle schooler and the tsundere of a high schooler..."

"Hmm~ This sounds interesting..."
