Chapter 149 Leonora Has Problems, Kobayashi Rindou Is Courting Death (Please Subscribe~)

When Leonora and Yumiko returned, Lucifer and the others exclaimed in surprise. Yuko Ichihara said with some emotion, "Oh my, as expected of Alice's mother, she is really beautiful."

"Hmm, as expected, they're all more reliable than Alice. Well then, I'm going to take a proper swim!"

Leonora started warming up on her own as she spoke. Before Lucifer could say anything, he saw Leonora gracefully dive into the pool and swim like a mermaid.

"Wow! What a huge swimming pool! It feels like a water park! So refreshing!"

Yumiko and the others shook their heads with smiles. Zdelada, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said with a laugh, "Hey! Boss, what were you trying to say? You seemed to have a lot of ideas."

"Well... don't you think it's silly of us to be discussing our ideal proposal scenarios here? There are married people here! We should just ask Leonora how she was proposed to!"

"Yes!" xn

"Leonora!" xn

Leonora paused for a moment, then turned around and saw everyone waving at her. She hesitated for a second, then quickly swam over.

"Phew! What's up? Do you have my phone number?"

Lucifer shook his head and squatted by the pool, saying, "No, we have a question we want to ask you."

"Huh? What's the problem? Why are you in such a hurry to call me back?"

"Because it will be difficult to ask once Bai Yu arrives."

"Huh?! This feels like a really big problem. What do you guys think?"

Pandemonica said softly, "We'd love to know what it was like when you were proposed to, what kind of ceremony it was."

Leonora raised an eyebrow, glanced around, and then smiled, saying, "I don't remember!"

"Huh?!" xn

Lucifer's women were all shocked. Being proposed to, getting married, and having a child are some of the most important moments for a woman. Leonora actually said she had forgotten?

"Uh... just kidding. Look at your expressions, they're really cute."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Considering Leonora's personality, it didn't seem like she couldn't make such a joke. Tsunade quickly asked, "So, what kind of scene was it?"

"This...this...uh...um..."

Glefia sat to the side, squinting at Leonora. Leonora seemed strange; Glefia had felt this way ever since Leonora first appeared.

"Um... well... it's like this... on a yacht, and the deck was covered in roses. It was a business party, and there were fireworks. They said they were going to the deck to get some fresh air, but suddenly a lot of people appeared. There was a heart surrounded by roses, and everyone was holding flowers and balloons. That's about it."

Wow! This must be a wonderful surprise!

"Um...it's...not bad."

Lucifer and the others silently gave a thumbs up, while Gurefia felt it was strange. If she hadn't forgotten, why did she need to say a little or think a little?

Moreover, what puzzled Glefia the most was that Leonora's analysis had been very quick, so why was Leonora so hesitant and stuttering? It was strange no matter how you looked at it, not just strangely strange.

However, Griffia didn't say anything, and just sat quietly to the side. Just as she was about to have a drink, she saw Kaguya Houraisan say softly, "Do you also feel strange?"

"Huh? You too?"

"Hmm... People with this way of thinking will never forget, no matter how hard they try. It's strange that you're speaking in such a disjointed way, as if you're just thinking about it."

"Um...so..."

"Just watch and see. It has nothing to do with me anyway. If someone wants to hide something, there must be a reason. So it's better not to say it out loud, just like what I said about Attorney Fei."

“Okay, I understand…”

Leonora immediately turned and swam away. Kobayashi Rindou thought for a moment and said, "I feel like things are starting to clear up a bit. Momo... um? Momo, what are you doing?"

Akane Kubo Momo tugged at Kobayashi Rindou's arm and whispered, "Hey, Rindou, what do you think about telling Leonora?"

"Huh? Huh?! That's right! Little Peach! That's a good reminder! Then it'll be fine if we're not among the three spots..."

Have you decided who you want to contact?

"Ok!"

After Kobayashi Rindou finished speaking, he glanced at Kazami Yuuka, who was holding a wine glass, and smirked. He then leaned over, took the straw, and drank the entire cocktail in Kazami Yuuka's glass in one gulp.

Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow and calmly looked at Kobayashi Rindou. Kobayashi Rindou looked up, smiled, and then put his arm around Kazami Yuuka's waist, saying with a smile, "Hey! Yuuka! This sake is really delicious."

"Ok?"

"So Yuuka, your waist is this slim too!"

"you..."

Just as Kazami Yuuka was about to say something, Kobayashi Rindou leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Come to my room after dinner tonight. I have something to tell you."

Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow, looked at the smiling Kobayashi Rindou, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. Kobayashi Rindou chuckled and said, "Yuuka, you really do smell wonderful, a floral scent."

"Because I am the master of flowers in all four seasons..."

"Huh? So there's this benefit too? Hmm... that's all for now, see you later!"

Kobayashi Rindou ran off immediately. Kazami Yuuka silently picked up a juice bottle to pour herself another glass, only to see Kobayashi Rindou run back and snatch the bottle away.

"I... this guy... if there's nothing important to do, I should probably give him a beating..."

"Hey! Little Peach! I'll buy you a cocktail!"

"Uh... Gentian Cotton, you really like courting death..."

"Huh? Why? Uh... it's okay! I can save you!"

Chapter 150 Real Herbal Tea and Fake Herbal Tea: They Look Too Alike (Please Subscribe~)

Bai Yu arrived shortly afterward, carrying a thermos of hot water. Lucifer and the others were puzzled, wondering why he would bring a thermos of hot water when it was already so hot.

Medici leaned closer and asked in confusion, "What is this...? Why do we need to drink hot water when it's so hot?"

Bai Yu smiled and said softly, "This is herbal tea. We should drink herbal tea in the summer. It's good for cooling down and relieving heat, and it won't upset your stomach."

"Huh? Herbal tea...is it good?"

"You'll know once you try it."

Lucifer and the others also looked puzzled. Nami immediately leaned over, opened the lid, and smelled it, saying, "It smells a bit...fragrant, but the smell is also a little strange. What is it made of? And it's warm..."

"I've already cooled it down in cold water because it tastes better and is smoother for you if it's your first time drinking it."

Tsunade scratched her head and said, "So, why is the herbal tea hot? Does it really make you feel cool?"

"Whether it's cool or not... that's not necessarily true, but... you'll know once you try it."

Lucifer and the others nodded, took their cups, poured themselves a cup, and, trusting Bai Yu, drank it down without a second thought.

The next moment, everyone shuddered. Garuda and the others had some sweat on their foreheads. Lucifer and the others didn't, but they felt much more energetic.

"Wow! Even though I'm sweating, it feels so good! It's like I've been in the desert for ages and suddenly drank a glass of ice water!"

"Hmm!" xn

Eirin Yagokoro nodded and said, "Hmm...that's true. And I feel a warm feeling in my stomach, a sense of peace from the inside out. What kind of tea is this?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Who said herbal tea is made from tea leaves?"

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

"No, herbal tea is made with Chinese medicine, so it's not tea in the real sense that you think of, but a kind of herbal beverage."

Everyone nodded in understanding. Yagokoro Eirin and Tsunade's eyes lit up, and Yagokoro Eirin quickly asked, "Hakuba, what kind of Chinese medicine is in this?"

"There are many, for example... honeysuckle, bamboo leaves, cassia seeds, mint, poria cocos, mulberry leaves, dandelion, dried tangerine peel, ginkgo, lily, etc., and they have many effects."

"For example... in general, it can clear heat and reduce fire, detoxify and relieve irritability, moisten the lungs and stop cough, cool the blood and stop bleeding, etc. Basically, clearing heat and quenching thirst, detoxifying and relieving irritability are its main functions, and it can also calm the mind and focus the spirit."

Eirin Yagokoro sighed and said, "It seems I really need to learn cooking properly. Many dishes actually have therapeutic effects..."

Tsunade nodded and said, "Yes, it's ginseng chicken soup. Grandma had a very good effect after drinking it."

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "We shouldn't drink too much herbal tea, and we should try not to leave it overnight. One cup per person is enough. If we include Managi and the others, there will only be a little bit left after that, so there's no need to keep it."

Nami downed the iced tea in one gulp before letting out a sigh of relief and saying, "It feels really good! The burning sensation in my heart is gone. Hey? Baiyu, did you drink some?"

"Of course I've already drunk it, eh? That's...."

"Phew! What are you drinking? I want some too!"

As Bai Yu was speaking, he suddenly saw a tuft of white fur floating in the pool, and then he saw Leonora stand up. Bai Yu smiled and said, "I was wondering why I hadn't seen you. Herbal tea, would you like some?"

"Herbal tea? Canned? That doesn't taste good, and it gives me a headache."

Lucifer shook his head and said, "No, it's not the canned kind sold outside. It's made by Bai Yu using Chinese medicine. It tastes very good. After drinking it, I feel very comfortable."

"Traditional Chinese medicine? Won't it be very bitter...?"

"It's not bitter at all, and it even has a pleasant aroma."

Leonora hesitated for a moment before climbing up, pouring herself a glass, smelling it, and finding it wasn't bitter. Just as she was about to drink it, she paused and said, "Huh? Isn't it supposed to be cold?"

"Herbal tea is not actually cold; it's just that the medicinal herbs used in it are cooling in nature, which is why it's called herbal tea. The canned herbal tea sold outside is just a beverage, not real herbal tea."

"Oh! Is that so? I was tricked?! But this warm... um... um? Um! This is so delicious! And it makes my stomach feel warm, it makes me feel so at ease! How could I have been fooled for so long?!"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "This is very popular in Guangzhou, China. There are also some herbal teas there that have their recipes modified to suit the effects you want."

"Wow! That's really impressive..."

Kraki said irritably, "Rantabi! Didn't you go on a business trip to Guangdong?! You didn't try it?!"

"Um...I...I...I was shopping when I saw other people drinking dark-colored milk tea, so I asked the staff at the milk tea shop what it was, and they said it was grass jelly."

"I thought it sounded pretty good and was about to buy it, but then a middle-aged man next to me was queuing up. I saw the clerk shout, 'Number 347, herbal tea,' which was also dark black!"

"I didn't even have time to react before I saw two girls come over with two dark-colored drinks. I was still guessing whether it was grass jelly or herbal tea when I heard one of them say, 'This passion fruit herbal jelly is pretty good.' I was completely dumbfounded!"

"Pfft..."xn

Bai Yu smiled and said, "They do look a bit alike, but there are definitely three things. So, what did you choose in the end?"

"I felt that the three things looked so similar, and they were all dark in color. I didn't know if they would taste good or not. I was going to try them, so I bought a mango smoothie."

"Huh? Actually, you would probably prefer grass jelly."

"Huh?! So... I'm at a disadvantage?!"

"Yeah, it's a bit of a loss."

Chapter 151 Leonora's Thanks, Bai Yu's Mysterious Dish (Please Subscribe~)

Lantabi was completely withdrawn. If she had known, she would have tried the herbal jelly. Lucifer chuckled and said, "Why are you withdrawn? Our man knows how to make it, doesn't he? Can you?"

Lantabi and the others looked at Bai Yu with expectant eyes. Pandemonica also pushed up her glasses and said softly, "Bai Yu can make milk tea and smoothies, which means... whatever the milk tea shop can do, Bai Yu can do; and whatever it can't do, Bai Yu can do."

Lantabi said pitifully, "Bai Yu! I may never have another chance to go on a business trip to China! I don't want to have any regrets in my life!"

"Um... okay... but if we make it into milk tea, it'll be a bit high in calories..."

"It's alright!"

Kraki chuckled and said, "Rantabi, judging from your tone, you really want to go on a business trip to China. You should have said so earlier! I'll let you know tonight that you're going on a business trip to China after summer vacation, for a year, how about that?"

"I...I'm not going! I'll only go to Kanagawa on a business trip!"

Lucifer said irritably, "Do I need you to do this? It's only a short ride on the tram, I'm really fed up with you... Hey hey hey! Leonora! You can't drink too much herbal tea, because it's Chinese medicine, so just one cup is enough."

"Oh? What a pity! It felt even more refreshing than eating chilled watermelon. I wanted to have a couple more drinks... But... I'll definitely report those unscrupulous businesses later! They've deceived my feelings!"

Zou-ryu-in Shion waved her hand and said, "It will definitely be improved on the basis. You can't drink too much herbal tea, and I heard from Shiraha that it can't be kept overnight. So if it's sold in cans, it will have to be changed into a regular beverage. That's business."

Leonora sighed and said, "It's really frustrating, so many people have been fooled... Hmm... Manager Shiraha, could you tell me the recipe? I'd like to learn it."

"That's no problem, but I don't think you drink herbal tea where you're from."

"Hmm... it can be used to relieve the frustration from working overtime! And since it's traditional Chinese medicine, it should be able to treat illnesses, right?"

"Hmm, that's correct. Well... then I'll tell you another prescription for treating a cold."
