I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Because Jian is a very gentle and rational person. She always knows the priorities of things. As long as we tell her the situation here and plead with her from the bottom of our hearts, she will definitely not sit idly by."

What happened next was pretty much the same as what Xin Meier said.

After they informed Jian, who had been waiting outside the village, about the situation in the village, Jian did not agree immediately and still refused sternly. However, she had already wavered at this time. After Xin Meir and others asked her for help, Jian agreed reluctantly.

With Ash's help, Haita and Fulilian broke the curse in just half a day.

Afterwards, the others, except Ash, eliminated all the cursed monsters nearby, which took several days. Finally, they continued their journey with the villagers' gratitude.

……

"What? Looking at me like that..."

Realizing that Fulilian had been staring at him, Jian's eyes couldn't help but become strange.

"……nothing."

Fulilian said calmly, "I just suddenly realized... you are indeed a gentle person."

"……baffling."

Ash learned from Fulilian why Philen was so angry.

"During the week we were away, Hugh Turk developed a bad habit of staying up late, staying in bed in the morning, and drinking juice before bed. And Fulilian, it was your turn to do the shopping today, but you stayed in bed and missed the deadline..."

No wonder I saw Hugh Turk half-dead when I came in. I originally thought he was implicated, but I didn’t expect he was the main culprit.

This is an old problem of Fulilian. It's not the first or second time that Feilun has been angry about this...

By the way, Hugh Turk, are you a child? You've become unruly the moment you're away from your parents...

After hearing the whole story, Jian sighed helplessly, then turned to Feilun and said, "Felun, you heard it all... They've both realized their mistakes. Isn't it time for them to calm down?"

Philen remained silent.

"...Speaking of which, have you had breakfast? How about letting them treat you to a dessert?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Philen turned his head.

It's really easy to understand...

Not long after, Jian and others appeared in a snack shop.

Fulilian touched her chin with an undecided look, while Xutalk looked at Philen.

"Um...Phiren, which one should we buy?"

Philen responded: "...either one is fine. Master Xuttark can choose."

Jian poked Hugh Tark's shoulder and whispered to him, "This... seems to be an answer that only comes when everyone is dissatisfied, right?"

"Is such that……"

Hugh Turk became depressed again.

"What should I do……"

"Even if you ask me this, I don't have any good ideas..."

Jian showed a very troubled expression, then looked at the store manager sitting in front of the door.

After some hesitation, Jian walked towards the store manager.

"Excuse me, can I borrow your kitchen?"

Chapter 446 Who can predict what will happen in the future?

Later, Jian and others returned to the hotel where they were currently staying.

Two single beds, a wooden wardrobe, a window, and a painting that serves as a decoration to make the room less monotonous.

That's all there is to this room.

This is Fulilian and Philen's room.

A basket filled with snacks was placed directly on the wooden floor, and on the spread-out paper lay pieces of delicate snacks.

Philen reached out, pinched a piece of light pink dessert, and put it in his mouth.

Then, he stared with his eyes wide open for two seconds, and then Philen's whole body seemed to melt and he showed a happy expression.

"Delicious……"

"...Isn't this expression too exaggerated?"

Xu Tark felt a little embarrassed... He had seen Philen eat a lot of snacks along the way, but he had never seen her show such an exaggerated reaction.

"If Master Xiutalk thinks it's okay, you don't have to eat it."

"That's too much... Are you planning to keep all these snacks for yourself?"

Xuttark glanced at his own snack with curiosity and exploration in his eyes.

With the overestimating thought, "It's just a snack, how delicious can it be?", Hugh Tark also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Two seconds later...

“It’s incredibly delicious!”

"Hehe! Delicious, right?"

Jian hadn't touched the snack in front of her. She folded her arms over her chest, her nose almost raised to the sky, and was feeling proud of the reactions of the two people who tasted her cooking for the first time.

Yes, the snacks in the basket were made by her.

The dessert cooking skills she learned from her sister Edelweiss have not yet become rusty, and as for the problem of ingredients, they can be solved by using life-related magic.

Although some flaws were inevitable, if it was Sister Edwards herself sitting here enjoying the dessert, she would probably be dragged back to the kitchen to practice again... But for Philen, Hugh Tark and the others, it was already a rare delicacy in the world.

"Master Qi."

Feilun stared at Jian, with a hint of complaint in his eyes, "Why don't you tell us when you can obviously make such delicious snacks?"

"Uh……"

Being stared at by Philen with an extremely oppressive gaze, Jian scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "I forgot..."

"Wow... When I think about how I could have enjoyed such delicious snacks earlier, I suddenly feel like I've been cheated..."

Fren uttered this in a whimpering voice, while Hugh Tark, who had been talking non-stop, nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Don't think too much. When you eat snacks, you should eat them happily. Otherwise, the snacks in your hands will cry with you."

Ash spoke softly, like a gentle breeze across the green fields, "The past is the past because it can't be undone. If you continue to lament your past self, only your future self will suffer. It's better to just enjoy the present."

As he spoke, Jian also took a bite of the snack in front of him.

Hmm...it's still not as good as what Sister Xiao Ai did.

Jian raised his head and found that Xutalk and Feilun were staring at his face.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Is there some food crumbs on it?"

"No, it's just..."

Philen shook his head. "Master Jian's pastry-making skills...were taught by someone very important to Master Jian?"

"..."

Someone very important...?

The sister Edwards in Ash's memory...although she was clingy and a little overbearing, she really cared about her.

As the first person she met when she came to that world, Edward had always taken good care of her and taught her swordsmanship and cooking.

Although he possesses unparalleled swordsmanship, he is often as innocent as a child. He would be listless due to weight issues, and would show a pure and cute look when eating snacks. At night, he really likes to hold her to sleep.

At that time, she was still Okita Souji, and she was not very powerful in that world... She was even a long way from the top of that world, but under the protection of Edwards, she was very safe.

The whole world knew that Edwards suddenly adopted a younger sister, but no one knew that Edwards' sister was her until she sneaked out and joined Pojun Academy.

Although Edwards has been restricting her freedom, her concern is real... She can still tell this clearly, so she is very grateful to Edwards, and the call of "sister" is also from the heart.

"...was I that obvious?"

"Because, whether it was when Master Jian was making snacks in the kitchen or when he was eating them just now, he had a very lonely expression on his face."

Ash tilted his head and turned to look at Fulilian, "Did I make that expression?"

Fulilian, who had been stuffing her mouth with snacks until her cheeks were puffed up like a hamster, raised her head and responded to Jian's question: "Who should I ask if you ask me?"

"...Well, it's pointless to ask you, such a slow-witted elf."

Several black question marks appeared above Fulilian's head. She didn't understand why she was being scolded when she hadn't done anything.

Looking at Fulilian's bewildered expression, Jian was distracted for a moment...

When she first made snacks for Xinmeier and the others, they were as surprised as Philen and Shutalk.

I remember that Haita tried to snatch the snacks that should have belonged to Aize, but he ran away in shame because Aize said, "If you dare to touch my share, you have to eat it all by yourself next time you see cauliflower."

It seems that the temptation of Jian's snacks to Haita is still not as great as his dislike for cauliflower... In fact, part of the reason is that he knows that even if he misses this meal, it won't be a big deal, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After all, the cook is in their team.

While enjoying the world-class dessert, Fulilian watched Aize and Haita playing and fighting, while Jian quietly came to Xinmei's side.

"Is it tasty?"

“It’s very delicious. I’ve never eaten such delicious dim sum in my life.”

Xin Mei'er's praise came from the heart, and even though he was not a professional chef, Jian could still feel it.

only……

"You... weren't exactly enjoying my snack."

Jian lowered his eyelids slightly, and his eyes, like the water of a lake on a summer night, stared quietly at Xin Meier's face. "I hope my snacks can make people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, but your heart... there is something else mixed in."

"..."

Xin Meir neither admitted nor denied it, but just smiled calmly.

Fulilian, who was not far away, did not notice that Xinmeier had been watching her silently.

"We went to a really nice restaurant and Flillian ordered a ton of food."

"I told her... there's no need to eat so much at once. She can just come back next time."

"Who would have thought, she would tell me... 'There are so many delicious foods that you will never be able to taste again if you hold that thought in your mind.'"

Fulilian turned her head as if she sensed something, and Xinmeier waved to her with a smile.

Only after Fulilian's attention was diverted once again did Xin Meier continue to speak to Jian: "I'm very happy... At least such a delicious snack won't be lost with the passage of time. Future Fulilian will still be able to taste it again."

Those eyes reflected Fulilian's figure, as blue as the sky and as tender as autumn water.

Staring at that handsome face, Jian was silent for a while, then spoke.

"You're overthinking things... Who can predict the future? I might even leave this world before you all do."

"...That's right. The future is the future because it holds infinite possibilities... That's why it's so worth looking forward to."

Xin Meir lowered his eyes and muttered something as soft as a mosquito's whisper.

"If... all the preparations I've made for the future were no longer necessary... that would be great..."

……

Coming back to his senses, Jian looked at everyone in the room.

Everyone was happily enjoying the snacks she made, and everything was exactly the same as it was back then.

Glancing at Fulilian who was quietly eating snacks, Ash muttered softly.

"What a slow-witted elf..."

At this moment, Philen suddenly asked a question.

"Excuse me, Master Kazue, could you tell me about the person who taught you the art of making sweets? I feel like the relationship between sweets and Master Kazue is like the relationship between the magic that makes flowers bloom and Lady Fulilian."

"Have it?"

Fulilian once embarked on a journey in search of new and interesting magic... but according to her, her interest in magic can only be described as average.
