Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

Immediately realizing who had made these instant noodles, Durandal clenched her fists tightly.

Just how much does that guy think of her cooking skills?!

Even if she had never cooked before, she couldn't possibly destroy the kitchen so easily.

On the other side, seeing Durandal's reaction, Mebius's cold smile deepened.

It's already come to this point, and you still want to play me?!

Having stayed in the Paradise of the Past for so long, this was the first time... no, it should be said that it was the second time she had been forced to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Moreover, both times it was because of the same person!

Thinking of that boy who corrupted the order of Paradise and didn't even spare the memory cells, Mebius immediately felt like tearing Alicia apart.

But then, as his gaze swept over the slight anger on the blonde girl's face, Mebius's lips couldn't help but curl up.

"Hey! Little lab rat! You should have seen Alicia before, right?"

With a light laugh, Möbius asked, his eyes gleaming like a snake, "How about we join forces and crush that guy under our feet?"

By then, she will be able to lock Alicia up and turn her into her own personal toy.

Yulandel: “???”

Why did she trample Alicia under her feet?

"No~"

A soft laugh suddenly rang out, and a figure as beautiful as a flower appeared in the hall. "Really, I was only gone for a short while, and you've already been entangled with other girls so quickly."

And Dr. Mebius, although I know this child is adorable, I have no intention of giving her to you~

"Alicia!"

Upon hearing this familiar expression, Durandal frowned slightly, but still subconsciously moved a few steps closer to the fairy.

Compared to Alicia, Mebius is really not a comfortable person to be around.

"Ha! Little lab rat, I advise you, you'd better not believe anything this guy says."

Women can be incredibly jealous at times, and this guy is no exception.

Knowing he had no more chances this time, Mebius simply left a sentence before his figure quickly faded and disappeared into the depths of Paradise.

Yulandel: "..."

So, what are these people even talking about? Why is Alicia jealous of her?

"Oh my, that guy actually sent so many instant noodles. It seems he really cares about your life here."

"Really, that's underestimating me! How could I possibly let you go hungry!"

Her gaze swept across the pile of instant noodles to the side, and Alicia immediately began to complain, puffing out her cheeks like a pufferfish.

As a beautiful girl who is so cute that she can do everything, she is naturally also extremely good at cooking.

"Um... I can take care of my food myself."

"Raise one hand," Durandal said somewhat timidly.

She had only known Alicia for a short time and was still embarrassed by how much care she received from her.

Moreover, she was not comfortable with the other person's excessive enthusiasm.

"Oh? Durandal, you're also good at cooking?"

But thinking about it, it makes sense; after all, you are Kevin's descendant.

With a relieved expression, Alicia immediately took the blonde girl's hand and gave her a bright smile. "Although I'd love to try your cooking, Durandal, I'll take care of dinner tonight."

Of course, I'd be even happier if you came with me!

As she spoke, before Durandal could show any sign of refusal, Alicia led her towards the Paradise Kitchen.

Chapter Seventy: After the Kitchen Was Destroyed

Half an hour later.

boom!

With a deafening roar, a corner of the former paradise completely collapsed.

"..."

Looking at the ruins that had completely lost their original appearance, and then at the blonde girl in front of her whose face was full of unease, Klein felt that her Honkai reactor was a few beats slower. "Durandal, did you use Judgment of Heavenly Fire in the kitchen?"

Theoretically speaking, the cooking equipment used in the kitchen could never reach that output power.

"Um... I'm sorry..."

Speaking softly, Durandal lowered her gaze to the floor in front of her. The strongest Valkyrie, who was always known for her heroic and valiant demeanor, now looked like a child who had done something wrong.

“You don’t need to say ‘sorry’ to me, Durandal.”

Maintaining the Pure Land of the Past is my job, so any damage you visitors cause to it falls within my purview.

Speaking in a voice that still lacked much variation, Klein looked up at the blonde girl in front of her, "However, I still hope that there can be less unnecessary damage like this."

She simply couldn't understand what the other person had done to fry the kitchen like that.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the facilities of the Pure Land itself may have been affected and need to be thoroughly inspected inside and out.

Thinking about the sudden increase in workload, Klein couldn't help but regret agreeing to let the other party use the kitchen.

"Hmm... I will try my best to prevent it from happening again."

Sensing the intense, suppressed anger in the armed doll, Durandal quickly assured her.

Klein: “…”

She felt that Durandal had completely misunderstood her meaning; the other party actually wanted a next time!?

At this moment, she finally understood why a certain acting lord had issued that order.

Feeling even more remorseful, Klein said calmly, "The hot water in the lounge is ready. You can go there to eat anytime."

"Um...don't you need my help here?"

"I'm a little embarrassed," said Durandal.

Running away after causing trouble is not her style.

Although the fairy lady had already run away the moment the accident happened.

"As I've said before, it's my job to maintain the paradise of the past."

Moreover, from an efficiency standpoint, I believe it would be faster for me to handle it alone.

Klein refused very decisively.

Her intuition told her that if she let this guy near the kitchen any longer, she would only have to work more and more overtime.

"OK then……"

Seeing the armed doll's resolute attitude, Durandal, though still somewhat uneasy, could only nod and accept it.

Upon returning to the Paradise Hall, a voice immediately rang in Durandal's ears:

“You’re quite capable, Klein.”

No matter how much trouble we cause, she always helps us solve it very considerately. You agree, right?

Following the sound, she saw the fairy lady on the sofa in the lounge, just as she had always been. Durandal couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes.

They were the ones who fried the food together, but she was the only one left to take the blame.

While it is undeniable that she should bear the primary responsibility for the accident.

"Phew~ I never expected that you, Durandal, would be so similar to Mei in terms of cooking skills."

As if completely oblivious to the complaint in the blonde girl's eyes, Alicia laughed and sighed, "But at most, Mei will only be able to fry some pots and pans."

"You've far surpassed Mei in that aspect—being able to blow up an entire kitchen!"

"..."

Looking at the fairy's joyful smile, Durandal couldn't tell whether it was mockery or praise.

But after only a slight pause, the girl immediately defended herself: "I just haven't tried cooking before."

Durandal believed that with enough practice, she too could make dishes as delicious as Rita's.

"If you want to learn cooking, I suggest you go find Qianjie."

She said with a smile, then added after thinking for a moment, "And also, whatever you do, whatever you do, whatever you do, you absolutely must not go to Sakura."

She still has a deep impression of someone's masterpiece after studying with Sakura for a period of time.

"Why? Sakura should be good at cooking too, right?"

Durandal couldn't help but ask curiously.

She still remembers that when she met this heroic man in Paradise, the first thing he said to her was whether she wanted to learn cooking.

If it weren't for the numerous Honkai Beasts lurking around, Durandal would have almost thought that Paradise of the Past was some kind of chef training school.

"Hmm...how should I put it?

Sakura is indeed quite good at cooking, but perhaps she doesn't know how to teach others.

Alicia explained tactfully.

At the very least, if it were a thousand tribulations, there would be absolutely no way they would allow a young man to graduate with such a thing.

"That's it."

With a relieved expression, Durandal nodded gently, "Once I find the secret hidden in Paradise, I will try my best to do so."

She wasn't very interested in cooking.

Always valuing her time and rarely spending energy on anything other than training and fighting the Honkai, the girl at this moment only hoped to find the secret of Paradise as quickly as possible so that she could confront [Walter White].

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time."

Seeing the girl's eagerness, Alicia smiled and encouraged her, pushing a bowl of instant noodles in front of her, "Here, try my cooking! I timed it perfectly!"

"..."

Seeing the smug smile on the fairy's face, Yulanda was stunned.

How could this person have the nerve to treat a bowl of instant noodles like a delicacy to her?

Or is there some secret in this bowl of instant noodles that she doesn't know about?

Lost in thought, Durandal picked up a few noodles and put them in her mouth, then...

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

As she leaned closer to ask, Alicia smiled sweetly, as if this was a delicious meal she had prepared with great care.

"……good."

After chewing the noodles a few times and swallowing them, Durandal replied with a calm, almost indifferent expression.

She felt she shouldn't have had any expectations of this fairy lady.

No matter how you taste it, it's just an ordinary bowl of instant noodles.

Using the image of fine clothes and delicacies might seem exaggerated, but having grown accustomed to Rita's care, Durandal had little interest in these convenience foods.

"What a disappointing answer. It's rare to have such a cute girl make instant noodles for you. Durandal, can't you give me a better review?"

Alicia asked without any shame, her clear eyes playfully winking at the Valkyrie, revealing a pitiful look as if she was about to cry.

Durandal: "Hmm..."

Doesn't this guy have any shame at all?

Feeling embarrassed by the fairy's gaze, Durandal looked away and then asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

She noticed that there was only one bowl of instant noodles on the table.

"We cannot eat food from the real world."

Alicia explained, her face still beaming with a smile, "Although I can still talk to you and have physical contact with you, the me here is still a genuine memory entity~"
