As evening approached.
The sunset reflected the twilight, painting Nagazora City's Golden Garden with a layer of golden-red.
Soft light illuminated the kitchen of the large villa, and a man wearing an apron stood at the stove, with wisps of cooking smoke rising, softening his rugged facial features.
"Haru, what are you making?"
Like a pink fairy who had stepped out of a fairy tale, wearing cool home clothes, her jade feet wrapped in black stockings lightly tiptoed as she tried to peek over the man's shoulder with a curious little head.
Haru turned his head slightly, and seeing Elysia's adorable appearance, couldn't help but smile.
"I'm obviously cooking!"
"Haru, you know Miss Fairy doesn't mean that..."
The girl gave Haru a white look and poked him with her elbow in dissatisfaction. "I obviously know you're cooking, but what specific dish are you making?"
"Well, the answer is cola chicken wings."
Haru stopped teasing Elysia and revealed the answer while lifting the pot lid.
Steam billowed out like white mist.
On the surface of the boiling water in the pot floated a layer of reddish-brown blood and impurities, with chicken wings that were already about thirty percent cooked underneath.
"Cola chicken wings... Hm, I don't think we have any cola at home, do we?"
Elysia watched as Haru scooped out the blanched chicken wings and started washing the pot to heat oil again, looking somewhat puzzled.
To avoid becoming a pink piggy, Elysia always kept her distance from high-sugar drinks like cola, and although Haru liked Coca-Cola, he didn't drink carbonated beverages often for health reasons, just like Fu Hua.
In summary, they basically didn't keep cola stocked at home.
"How should I put it... today someone treated me to cola when I was out, and there was quite a bit left over, so I brought it home to make cola chicken wings."
Haru nodded toward the 2-liter bottle of cola placed beside the stove.
During the afternoon house-hunting, Bronya really did buy him the large bottle of Coca-Cola as promised, so he kept his word and brought the unfinished portion home to make cola chicken wings.
Originally, Haru had planned to invite Bronya to come home and eat together...
But Bronya looked serious, as if she were about to face a boss battle, saying she wasn't ready yet, and then declined.
He couldn't understand it—it was just a meal, what preparation was needed?
Could Bronya mean she didn't buy a gift for visiting? That would be too polite!
Haru shook his head and tossed the scored chicken wings into the pot, frying them on low heat.
After the chicken wings were fried until golden on the surface, he added ginger slices and star anise, stir-fried until fragrant, then poured in all the cola at once, added a little soy sauce and salt for seasoning, brought it to a boil on high heat, then reduced to low heat and simmered for 15 minutes.
During the waiting process, Elysia asked about the house-hunting results.
"Bronya decided to buy two apartments—one right above the studio, and the other tentatively a detached villa with a garden and pool, though it's unclear if she'll change her mind later."
Haru said with a smile, mentioning several houses he thought were quite nice.
Elysia listened attentively, nodding from time to time, her pink-blue beautiful eyes showing some unusual light.
"Having a house you're satisfied with sounds really wonderful!"
"What's so difficult about that? With your income, Elysia, you could casually buy a house anywhere in Nagazora City, right?"
Haru looked at the pink little wealthy woman beside him and teased.
Half a year ago, he had been fed by Elysia for a while, so he had a good understanding of Elysia's financial capabilities.
Although she couldn't compare to the country-rivaling wealth of Eden, or to Bronya who was the heir to Anti-Entropy, Elysia's earning ability was comparable to that of a top-tier celebrity, with several small goals lying in her bank account.
"It's not about money... Most houses on the market aren't as good as Golden Garden, and they're also... not interesting enough?"
Elysia pointed to her chin, her tone somewhat hesitant.
The girl liked interesting things, liked romantic and happy things, and obviously most houses couldn't satisfy these points.
"I see, I understand."
Haru thought for a moment, then said seriously: "I will definitely do my best to make our matrimonial home like a paradise from fairy tales—beautiful and flawless, eternally romantic."
"You... you don't need to be so exaggerated... Actually, as long as Miss Fairy can be with you, she'd be satisfied living anywhere."
Elysia was hit by Haru's direct shot, her pretty face showing a shy but sweet blush.
Haru gazed at his fiancée's bashful expression, feeling even more determined.
In Celtic mythology, fairies lived on an island called Avalon, which was an ideal land far from the mortal world... Perhaps he could follow the mythology and buy a small island to build a paradise belonging only to him and Elysia, using it as their matrimonial home?
However, buying a small island wouldn't be easy.
And because of the greenhouse effect, sea levels were rising slowly every year, so small islands might risk being submerged.
If the small island he worked so hard to buy as a matrimonial home just disappeared like that, he had experienced great storms and waves so it wouldn't matter much to him, but Elysia might get so angry she'd roll around on the floor, crying and making a fuss.
Haha, that version of Elysia would be unexpectedly interesting...
Haru suddenly wanted to see the girl pacing, running, rolling around in the room, then bawling like a child.
But soon, Haru snapped back from his pleasant fantasy.
Right now he only had the twenty thousand salary that Bronya had advanced him in his pocket—he couldn't even buy a toilet, let alone buy an island to build a matrimonial home. It was premature to even think about it.
He should just honestly save money first!
When he earned enough tens of millions from making games, he'd find a place with clear mountains, beautiful waters, and flowers everywhere to build a matrimonial home like a small amusement park—that might be more realistic...
Haru murmured to himself, then his gaze sharpened as he looked down at his pants zipper.
At some point, a fair little hand had found its way there, sneakily planning to proceed to the next step.
"Elysia?"
Haru caught the girl's not-so-innocent little hand, looking at her with some amusement.
"Cough cough, well... I just thought your zipper wasn't pulled up properly, so I reached over to check."
Elysia's gaze wandered as she said guiltily.
She had just been moved by Haru's words, and remembering the last time in the kitchen when she didn't succeed, she momentarily gave in to lustful instincts and acted on impulse.
She thought she could successfully ambush Haru like last night and achieve another great victory, but didn't expect to be caught red-handed halfway through...
This was bad—her image in Haru's mind would definitely become that of a perverted fairy miss!
Elysia wondered if there was any way to salvage the situation, then had a change of thought—she seemed to have always had this image after starting to date Haru.
Since that was the case, she probably didn't need to pretend to be a gentleman anymore, right?
The girl licked her pink lips, the embarrassment on her pretty face being replaced by a flush, and her gaze gradually became unrestrained!
