"Lala, get the salt."
"Yay..."
"You silly girl, this is sugar!"
"Lala, soy sauce."
"Yay..."
"You silly girl, this is old vinegar!"
...
In the Kusanagi family's kitchen, Sora's roars could be heard from time to time.
As a lazy and gluttonous great demon, Sora's usual practice was to train his women to be capable and then serve him. He had originally planned to have Lala assist him and learn how to cook, but this girl didn't learn anything and instead caused trouble in the kitchen, almost driving Sora crazy.
"I clearly remember it was this one..."
After being scolded by Sora a few times, Lala was still unconvinced, pouting her small lips with a slightly resentful expression, which made Sora's mouth twitch with frustration.
"Alright, Lala, go get me some plates. Don't get it wrong this time, or you won't get any dinner."
Having completely given up, Sora helplessly patted Lala's head and said.
In the original story, Lala was a cooking disaster. The dark cuisine she made nearly poisoned Rito to death several times, causing his soul to leave his body. The great demon king Sora didn't believe in this and had fantastically thought of training Lala into a beautiful chef who would serve him every day. The result was this...
"Yay..."
Hearing the word "eat," she perked up again. Lala cheered and skipped off to get the plates.
Looking at the girl's wagging little tail and bare little bottom, Sora's old face turned slightly red with a little embarrassment, but he also felt an unusual sense of excitement and enjoyment.
Although this silly girl Lala had no hope of becoming a beautiful chef, having her wear that seductive little apron and serve him plates in the future would be a nice sight...
Ding dong...
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Lala, we have a guest. Go open the door."
He was busy frying vegetables and couldn't leave, so Sora called out to Lala.
He didn't have many acquaintances here. The only people who would come to his house at this time were the Yūki siblings. He guessed that he had casually lied about being sick this morning, and the two Yūki siblings were here to visit him.
"Okay, okay."
Loving crowds and excitement the most, Lala replied and skipped off to open the door.
"You silly girl, come back!"
Seeing Lala about to run out just like that, Sora was so angry that he quickly grabbed Lala's tail.
"Waaah... Sora, my... my tail, don't touch..."
Her most sensitive part of her body was grabbed by Sora. The originally energetic Lala instantly went limp and weak, her body softening and falling towards the ground, caught in Sora's arms.
Looking at the girl with a flushed face and an intoxicated expression, still panting in his arms, the great demon king Sora sighed to the heavens. Does his Lala have to be so adorable!!!
"Peke, change Lala's clothes back!"
Except for himself, Sora would never allow anyone else to see Lala dressed like this. He commanded the dress-up robot Peke.
"Yes, Sora-sama."
Not daring to disobey Sora's command, Peke quickly changed its form and returned to its usual cute dress, wrapping it around Lala's body. With the absolute program and command implanted by Sora, it would never reveal Lala's beautiful body to anyone other than Sora!
"Let's go, you silly girl. Don't forget again next time."
Releasing Lala's tail, he tapped her little head and said in a bad mood.
"Hehehe... I forgot just now..."
Instantly revived after her tail was released, Lala giggled with a little embarrassment.
The vegetables in the pot were already burnt, and Sora couldn't be bothered with them anymore. He thought to himself that he would have to spend some time training this girl Lala in the future. Without saying anything more, he and Lala walked out of the kitchen to open the door for the visitor.
"Eh... Rito-kun, Mikan-chan... and Sairenji-san."
Opening the door, three figures appeared. To Sora's surprise, besides the Yūki siblings, Haruna was also there.
"Sora-san, we heard you were sick, so we came to see you. Are you feeling better?"
The Yūki siblings asked Sora with concerned expressions, while Haruna on the side had a relieved expression after seeing Sora.
"Hehehe... it was just a little cold. I'm completely fine after taking some medicine."
"Thank you for your concern. Please come in, Rito-kun, Mikan-san, Sairenji-san."
Dismissing his lie about being sick with a single sentence, Sora invited the three of them into the house with a smile.
"Then we'll come in..."
It was the first time for all three of them to come to Sora's house. They were a little curious and returned the greeting as they walked in.
"Hey, hey, Sora, who are they? Who are they?"
Looking at Rito and the other two who had walked into the house, Lala ran over with three pairs of slippers and placed them on the ground, then wrapped her arm around Sora's and asked with a slightly curious and happy expression.
And after hearing Lala's voice, Rito and the other two who had entered the house instantly turned their gazes to Lala, each with a surprised and astonished expression.
"Lala, they are my good friends, Rito-kun, Mikan-chan, and Sairenji-san."
"Rito-kun, Mikan-chan, Sairenji-san, this is Lala, an alien from Planet Deviluke in the galaxy. She's a real princess!"
Even with Mikan-chan and Haruna seeing Lala in his house, Sora wasn't flustered at all. He introduced them to each other with a teasing tone.
"Hehehe... My name is Lala Satalin Deviluke, nice to meet you all!"
With a sunny and brilliant smile, Lala greeted the three of them.
"An alien..."
"A princess..."
"A... a tail..."
"Eh?!!!!!!"
Seeing the incredulous expressions on the three of them, a slight curve appeared on Sora's lips...
...
"So there really are aliens in this world..."
Looking at Lala's long and cute tail that was always wagging, the Yūki siblings and Haruna finally recovered from their endless shock and confirmed that this was not a dream.
"Sora-san, what's going on?"
The three of them all turned to Sora with questioning gazes. A beautiful girl who claimed to be an alien princess suddenly appeared in Sora's house, which made the Yūki siblings extremely curious. Although Haruna had seen Lala last night, she had only just learned her identity now and was also extremely shocked.
"Hehe... it's a long story. Rito-kun, you guys come in and sit down first. I'll tell you slowly later."
Inviting the three of them into the living room to sit down, Sora brewed a cup of hot tea for each of them before slowly sitting down with Lala on the side.
Lala habitually wanted to cling to Sora, but now with the two un-conquered beautiful girls, Mikan and Haruna, present, Sora didn't want to be too blatant. He patted Lala's little bottom and gave her a look, then told the three of them the whole story with a serious expression.
He told them about Lala's identity as the first princess of Planet Deviluke, how she ran away from home and was pursued, and how he later saved her and temporarily took her in. However, he intentionally or unintentionally omitted the information about their engagement and the fact that they had done everything they should and shouldn't have done.
After hearing Lala's story, the Yūki siblings and Haruna on the side were all amazed. For the first time, they knew that this world was so big, and they slowly accepted this fact.
Of course, the three of them were also very speechless about this princess who actually ran away from home...
"Well, that's about it. Lala will be staying at my house for a while. Please take care of her, Rito-kun, Mikan-chan, and Sairenji-san."
Clapping his hands, Sora concluded with a smile.
"Hehehe... please take care of me in the future!"
Cheerful and lively, Lala also said to the three of them with a smile.
Looking at each other, although Lala's identity as an alien and a princess still made the Yūki siblings and Haruna a little disbelieving, they couldn't help but have a good impression of such a simple and sunny girl. They smiled and returned the greeting, naturally not rejecting her.
"Rito-kun, Mikan-chan, Sairenji-san, since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner? You can also try my cooking."
"Lala, come and help."
"Yay..."
Letting the three of them do as they pleased, Sora took Lala into the kitchen.
Hearing that Sora was going to cook, a strange light flashed in the eyes of Mikan and Haruna, and Rito on the side couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
"Sora-san, Lala-san, we'll help too."
Mikan and Haruna also followed to help, while Rito, who knew nothing about cooking, didn't join in the fun. Bored, he sat alone in the living room and watched TV...
Also being cooking experts, with the help of Mikan and Haruna, Sora had a much easier time this time. Unlike that careless girl Lala, Mikan and Haruna were standard beautiful chefs. For his future easy and comfortable happy life, Sora decided that he had to conquer them as soon as possible.
Looking at Lala on the side, who was serving them plates and having a great time, Sora shook his head speechlessly. He would have to train this girl in other aspects in the future.
What Sora didn't notice was that while he was sighing in his heart, the gazes of Mikan and Haruna on the side became brighter and brighter...
...
"I'm starting!"
Gathered around the dining table, everyone clapped their hands and started eating.
Although he was a lazy glutton, the great demon king Sora's cooking skills were unquestionable. Lala kept stuffing food into her little mouth, cheering and moved. She decided in her heart that she would follow Sora forever and eat delicious food.
As the kind of knowledgeable, virtuous, and gentle girls, Mikan and Haruna behaved much more quietly, carefully tasting the food bite by bite. Even a simple action gave people a feeling of elegance and cuteness.
After tasting Sora's cooking, the two girls' eyes lit up, and at the same time, their cheeks turned slightly red with a hint of shame and embarrassment. They had always been very confident in their cooking skills, but they didn't expect that a boy's cooking skills would be even better than theirs...
Rito on the side also praised Sora's cooking. Even though his taste buds had long been spoiled by the capable Mikan-chan, he still found Sora's cooking delicious, even better than his own Mikan. He kept tasting, and although his movements were not as exaggerated as Lala's, they were not slow either.
Noticing that Mikan on the side was glaring at him fiercely, with a look of disappointment on her cute face, Rito smiled sheepishly and restrained himself a little.
As the saying goes, comparisons are odious. Sora-san is handsome, has amazing grades, is a tennis god, and even his cooking skills are so amazing!
Although Rito had recently resolved to become outstanding, he decided not to compare himself to a monster like Sora-san who made people despair. At most, he would use him as a role model to motivate himself...
Everyone ate and chatted, the atmosphere was very good. Lala's cheerful, lively, simple, and sunny personality was very likable. In no time, she became familiar with Rito and the others and became good friends with Mikan and Haruna.
However, this girl was careless and couldn't keep her mouth shut. Several times, she almost revealed her relationship with Sora and the bad things they did in the bathroom and on the bed. Fortunately, Sora was quick-witted. Every time this silly girl accidentally almost said it, he would quickly grab her tail to make her behave.
The meal was thrilling but without any danger. Everyone else was satisfied, but Sora was exhausted. He thought viciously in his heart that he would definitely punish this silly girl Lala later. Fortunately, no one else found out anything.
...
"Sora-san, thank you for the meal. We'll be heading back now."
Bowing to Sora, Mikan kicked Rito, who was still standing there, and prepared to say goodbye and go home.
Rito chuckled and also said a polite word, but his gaze couldn't help but fall on Haruna on the side. Although he really wanted to take the opportunity to walk Haruna-chan home, he was too embarrassed to say it at this time. A hint of regret flashed in his eyes, and he could only say goodbye and go back to his house next door with Mikan.
"Sairenji-san, it's getting late. I'll walk you home."
After seeing off the Yūki siblings, looking at Haruna on the side, Sora smiled slightly.
"Mm..."
Without refusing, Haruna responded softly.
Letting Lala play at home by herself, Sora walked Haruna home.
It seemed that she had come directly from school with Rito. Haruna was still wearing her school uniform. But even this ordinary uniform, worn on this naturally beautiful and gentle girl, had a unique charm that was captivating.
If the girl were to go home alone at night, some perverted uncles on the roadside would probably not be able to resist taking action!
The two of them walked side by side on the cold and empty street. No one took the initiative to say anything. The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet, without any awkwardness.
It wasn't clear how Haruna felt, but Sora himself was enjoying it a little. Even though the two of them were just walking together quietly without saying anything, he felt that the distance between them had become much closer.
It seemed that in no time, the two of them had arrived at the gate of the house.
"Sairenji-san, we're at your house."
Stopping, Sora said.
"Mm..."
Lowering her head and responding softly, a hint of regret flashed in the girl's eyes.
"It's getting late, so I'll be going back now. See you tomorrow, Sairenji-san."
As an old hand in the dating scene, the great demon king Sora naturally knew what the most brilliant move was at this time. Without any hesitation, he turned around and made a gesture to leave.
As expected, the next moment—
"Sora-san, please wait!"
The girl's shout came from behind, and Sora also stopped.
"Sairenji-san, is there anything else?"
A slight curve appeared on his lips. Looking at the slightly nervous girl in front of him who seemed to want to say something, Sora asked with a smile.
"Sora-san, um... um... do you like Lala-san?!"
Do you like Lala-san... do you like Lala-san... do you like Lala-san...
The girl's voice echoed in the air, and the entire scene fell into a strange silence.
"Ha... ha... I asked, I finally asked..."
Her face was flushed, and she was panting slightly. She had finally mustered the courage to ask. Haruna didn't know what was wrong with her.
Sora-san saved Lala-san, and the two of them are living together now. And from her previous observations, the simple Lala-san undoubtedly likes Sora-san very much. Thinking about Sora and Lala's relationship, Haruna couldn't help but be very concerned...
"Ah... Lala is cheerful and lively, simple and cute, and she's a beautiful princess. Of course I like her very much."
With a different kind of smile, Sora answered without hesitation.
Staring at Sora blankly, after hearing him so frankly say that he liked Lala, Haruna suddenly felt a sense of loss and discomfort...
"But, I also like Sairenji-san very much!"
"Sairenji-san is so gentle, beautiful, and cute. Even I often can't help but think how great it would be if I had a girlfriend like Sairenji-san."
"Sairenji-san, I have answered your question. Goodbye, hahaha..."
After speaking, without waiting for the girl to react, Sora laughed loudly and directly flew up into the sky and away.
"Sora-san..."
Staring blankly at Sora who had disappeared into the sky, Haruna took a long time to come to her senses.
A faint blush appeared on her face, and the feeling of loss and discomfort disappeared. The girl revealed a shy and knowing smile, and after standing there for a while, she also pushed open the door of her house and walked in...
