I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

It was midsummer and the daytime hours were long. When Hanakaiin Fukui and Akane Nagisa left their homes and teleported to the Cornerstone Gate, it was just after five in the evening. After all their busy schedules, it was barely six o'clock yet. Compared to when they set out, the sunset in the sky had barely changed except that it had set a little lower.

In fact, because there were no clouds blocking the view, the sunlight was even brighter than before.

"It's so hot~ Why is it so hot?"

As soon as he walked out of the elevator and returned to the central hall on the first floor of the Cornerstone Gate, Lan Yu Qiancong couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

You have to know that it is late July now, which happens to be the hottest weather of the year. However, the above-ground part of the Cornerstone Gate, which is the largest building and financial and commercial center on Genshinjima Island... is not air-conditioned!

This caused the heat accumulated in the day's direct sunlight outside to flow directly into the first-floor hall, making the large space as hot as a sauna.

No, it's a huge sauna!

But this is not surprising. When Teacher Jian from Lotanlingqia invaded the Cornerstone Gate, in order to make it difficult for the special security team to determine which side the terrorist attack was targeting, he destroyed the power supply facilities for the above-ground part before entering the underground artificial island management facilities. As a result, the power supply to more than 20 floors of the above-ground part of the Cornerstone Gate was paralyzed, causing panic.

You can tell this by looking at the several electricians who are carrying out emergency repairs in front of the power supply panel in the lobby on the first floor.

"Alas, I was planning to find a well-reviewed restaurant in Cornerstone Gate for dinner tonight, but now it seems that's impossible."

Although this was not the original plan at all, Aiba Asagi spoke as if this was the plan from the beginning, and at the same time glanced meaningfully at the two junior high school girls who were following the boy like little followers on the other side of him.

"And with all these things happening... Seriously, Fogui, why don't you come with me to my house first? I need to go back and take a shower and change clothes. I got covered in dust when I was walking in the corridor just now. I'm so dirty."

"It's up to you. I don't care."

The flowers bloom in the courtyard and the Buddha returns.

hum~

Hearing the boy's answer, Lan Yu Asagi immediately hummed twice in her heart, and her eyes looked at the two girls more and more blatantly.

Her words, translated, meant—did you hear that, little sisters? From now on, your dear big brother has to go home with me, big sister, because we're going to have dinner together later. So, just go home by yourselves, okay?

Of course I didn’t yell!

Nagisa Akatsuki really wanted to say that, but there was no way. If she just blew herself up, she could have a happy reveal, but it would definitely put her big brother in a difficult position.

She didn't want to embarrass her elder brother.

On the other side, Himeragi Setsuna also unexpectedly showed an inexplicable high emotional intelligence. She immediately followed up after the blonde girl finished speaking.

"Then we'll say goodbye here in front of the Cornerstone Gate. Lanyu-senpai and Fogui-senpai, Nagisa and I are going to go home directly."

"Yeah, be careful on your way home~"

Seeing that her junior schoolmate was so sensible, Lan Yu Asagi's attitude became much kinder for a while.

……

A moment later, as both parties said their goodbyes briefly in front of the devastated Cornerstone Gate, Hanakaiin Fukui and Aoba Asagi left. Only Akatsuki Nagisa and Himeragi Setsuna were left boarding the bus at the roadside bus stop in front of the Cornerstone Gate.

Unlike Asagi Aoba, who lives in the central area of ​​​​Gimgami Island, Nagisa Akatsuki and Setsuna Himeragi, as representatives of the "children from ordinary families" on the island, cannot easily walk to the city center in five minutes from their homes.

If you walk all the way back from the Cornerstone Gate, there won't be any big problems, but it will definitely be time-consuming and laborious.

So taking the bus becomes a must.

Taking advantage of this time, Himeragi Yukina asked a question that she had not had time to ask before.

"Um, Nagisa..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Setsuna-chan? Is there something you want to ask?"

Nagisa Akatsuki turned around almost the moment the voice was uttered, her clean face still filled with a cheerful and energetic smile as always.

"It's okay, you can ask anything you want to ask, just go ahead~"

"Well, it's nothing particularly important."

Himeragi Setsuna felt a little embarrassed by her unusually calm attitude.

"Regarding what happened at the Cornerstone Gate, why did Nagisa and Fukui-senpai appear there?"

"What do you mean..."

Akatsuki Nagisa raised her lips and looked up at the sky, pretending to think for a while.

"Actually, we were originally at home, but we suddenly learned that there was an accident at the Cornerstone Gate. And my brother's daughter...his childhood sweetheart, Asagi, happened to be working at the Cornerstone Gate. To avoid any accidents, my brother quickly took me there."

He forced himself to stop and change the word "girlfriend" to "childhood sweetheart", then Akane Nagisa tilted her head and smiled in a healing way.

"But it's a good thing I went there. Otherwise, it would have been terrible if that teacher Jian had really destroyed the foundation."

"That's true……"

Himeragi Setsuna agreed subconsciously.

But speaking of home...

When the key words were mentioned, the sword witch girl suddenly recalled that she rushed into Nagisa's house after hearing a loud explosion outside, but only saw white marks all over the floor. She was about to ask but was interrupted.

"Where's Setsuna-chan? How did Setsuna-chan get here?"

"I... I also heard the alarm at that time, and then I rushed into your house, Nagisa, but I found that you were not there, so I rushed here directly."

Himeragi Setsuna changed the subject.

"But at that time, I saw a lot of white stuff on the floor of your house, Nagisa. It looked a bit like... liquid, right? Were you and Buddha Gui-senpai doing anything at home at that time?"

“Hmm!? Ah…that…”

Nagisa Akatsuki was startled at first, and then her eyes became increasingly vague.

"Well, actually, my big brother and I were making a cake at home!"

"Bake a cake?"

Himeragi Setsuna was stunned, this actually touched upon her blind spot in knowledge.

After all, although sword wizards have been cultivating cooking skills since childhood, the scope of application of cooking skills is mostly survival in the wild, such as identifying whether wild vegetables are poisonous, etc., and how to ensure nutritional balance as much as possible in the wilderness environment.

But when it comes to delicate baking such as making cakes and cookies, she has never learned it.

"Well, it was a cake. We were trying to make the cream."

The arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so the True Ancestor girl could only continue to talk nonsense.

To make it more realistic, Akatsuki Nagisa even showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"But since I just started learning how to make it, I'm still not very skilled after trying a few times, and I accidentally made a mess everywhere."

“Yeah…”

Although she always felt that something seemed to be wrong, Himeragi Setsuna herself couldn't put her finger on it and could only choose to believe it.

At this moment, Nagisa Akatsuki's eyes suddenly lit up.

"By the way, when we get back later, can I give some to Xuecai-chan to try? It's a great opportunity for her to give some comments and suggestions."

"Eh? Me? But I don't know how to bake a cake..."

"It's okay. If you don't know how to eat, then don't. Just give your review as an ordinary eater."

"Yeah, yeah... okay then."

Chapter 194: Easy Food x Porridge

Let’s not worry about Hanakaiin Fukui and Aoyame Asobu for now.

The scene changed, and as the sky outside the window, which was once bright with the afterglow of the setting sun, finally became a little darker than it should be at night. Inside the apartment, Nagisa Akane, who had already returned home, was standing in the bathroom with a heavy glass in her hand. Her lips were slightly open and her breathing was a little rapid. A suspicious blush was now on her usually fair and delicate cheeks.

"Huh...Huh...this should be enough..."

The girl picked up the glass and with the help of the light from the electric lamp above, she could clearly see through the colorless and transparent outer wall of the glass that there was almost half a cup of milky white liquid inside.

About 150 to 200 milliliters.

A bit less...

Thinking back on the amounts from yesterday and the day before yesterday, and comparing them with today's amounts, Nagisa Akane couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If it had been the previous two days, I would have been able to fill the entire cup easily.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. She had plenty of time yesterday and the day before yesterday, and because of what happened at the Cornerstone Gate today, she and her big brother only happily mixed the cream for about an hour the whole day.

Being able to squeeze out this much is basically the limit.

Because the quantity today is relatively small, even this little bit took a lot of effort to squeeze out.

Hey, I waited for a whole day to get this little bit, and now I have to give it to the snow vegetable sauce. I feel a little reluctant.

I'm so angry. Next time I'll have to ask big brother to make up for it twice as much. Besides, I'm still two thousand nine hundred and ninety-five times away from "loving you three thousand times".

The achievement has not yet been achieved, Nagisa still needs to work hard~

Thinking of this, Nagisa Akatsuki put the cup next to the sink, took two pieces of toilet paper from the paper roll behind the toilet and wiped herself briefly, then pulled up her pants, grabbed the quilt, and turned to go out.

On the other side, at the house of Setsuna Himeragi next door.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

As rhythmic knocks sounded from the entrance, the sword witch girl who was preparing dinner in the open kitchen in the living room paused slightly, raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

After saying that, Himeragi Setsuna put down the ingredients she was washing, turned on the faucet to rinse her hands and shook off the excess water droplets. Then she took off her apron and put it aside, then trotted towards the door in her slippers.

When the security door of the entrance was opened, it was Nagisa Akatsuki who appeared in the corridor outside, holding a glass with a little "cream" in it.

"Sorry for the wait, Yukina-chan. I brought the cream I promised you. I just took it out of the refrigerator. We were in a hurry this afternoon, so there's only a little left."

"refrigerator?"

Himeragi Yukina took it with doubt.

To be honest, although she grew up in the Lion King Agency and has always been isolated from the world by sword wizard training, so she lacks some common sense, but she still has no problem with the more basic parts.

For example, she knows that things taken out of the refrigerator should be cold.

In fact, because she had just been washing vegetables and her hands had been in contact with cold water for a long time, her skin was now particularly sensitive to temperature.

Himeragi Setsuna could clearly feel the heat from the "cream" in the cup being transmitted to her palm through the thin wall of the cup. From experience, it was at least equivalent to normal human body temperature.

You call this fresh out of the fridge?

"Well, that's the magic of this cream~"

Nagisa Akatsuki said seriously, shaking her finger.

"Unlike ordinary cream, this cream can maintain its viscosity even without being frozen, and it can maintain its temperature even in a low-temperature environment because it contains extremely rich spiritual energy. In other words, if you eat a cake made with this cream, the effect is similar to the magical elixir in the novels next door, which can greatly increase your strength."

"I see……"

Himeragi Yukina hesitated for a moment and then looked suddenly enlightened.

Indeed, for Nagisa Akatsuki, she was just an ordinary girl a few days ago. She was not born with the habit of sucking blood from other creatures to replenish her magic power like the vampire race. Therefore, sucking blood to eat seemed a bit too difficult for Nagisa Akatsuki.

It must be based on this idea that Senior Buddhagui concentrated the spiritual power into the cream, and then let Nagisa eat it in the form of a cake so that it could be supplied to the familiar in Nagisa's body for consumption.

"So, I got to try some of the Setsuna sauce too~"

Akatsuki Nagisa clasped her hands in front of her and urged expectantly.

"We agreed before that you would let Xuecai taste it and give us some suggestions for improvement."

"Well... actually, I can't offer any suggestions for improvement. After all, I've never eaten cake before..."

As if she was a little ashamed of the fact that she had never eaten cake before, Himeragi Setsuna kept refusing.

"And this is something that Senior Fukui made especially for you, Nagisa. If I eat it..."

"It's okay, it's okay~ It's just a taste!"

However, Nagisa Akatsuki's face showed even more anticipation.

It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, and with no other choice, Himeragi Setsuna could only reluctantly nod.

She first picked up half a cup of "cream" and smelled it. The taste was a bit strange, not like the taste of normal food.

But since I have already agreed to try it, I can't go back on my word at the last minute.

With the mentality of "Maybe it just smells a little weird?", Himeragi Setsuna picked up the glass, tilted her head back and took a sip of the warm "cream" in the glass.

Sure enough, the taste is weird and a bit fishy...but the texture is quite smooth?

The sword witch girl licked her lips and was thinking so, but her body was inexplicably controlled by her to pick up the glass and take another sip.
