"Eh… eh?"
Erina Nakiri's cheeks were flushed with shame; she felt very embarrassed and shy, and thought it was a bit improper.
But her obedience to her man made it impossible for her to refuse this request.
"Hus… husband."
Finally, she blushed and called out in a barely audible voice.
"Mm, good girl."
Satou smiled slightly, feeling very satisfied inside, "Call it again and let me hear it?"
"Hus… band."
Erina Nakiri, blushing, called out softly.
"So good, call it again?"
"Husband."
"Wife, call it again."
Hearing Satou call her wife, Erina Nakiri's face turned even redder. She felt that calling each other by these terms before marriage was very much against custom, but in her heart, there was a sweetness she had never experienced before.
"Husband."
…
The next day, Satou was in the kitchen preparing fruit wine.
In the morning, he bought two wine coconuts, which cost him one million yuan.
One was for his Father, and the other was for himself to drink.
"Come, please have a taste."
Satou came out with several glasses of fruit wine and said to Tadokoro Megumi and Yukihira Soma, who had come to visit.
"It smells so good! What kind of fruit wine is this?"
Yuki Yoshino sniffed, a surprised look on her face, then eagerly took a sip.
She stuck out her delicate little tongue and licked it, exclaiming in surprise, "Wow, it's really delicious!"
"It really is!"
Yukihira Soma also looked amazed.
Satou smiled slightly. The fruit wines he made had a high proportion of fruit juice and a very low alcohol content, making them more like beverages. You wouldn't get drunk even if you drank a lot, so they were very suitable for everyday consumption.
"I… am back to full health!"
Just then, a loud shout came from the doorway.
Then, Satou and the others saw a beautiful young girl with blood-red hair and a slender figure walk in, carrying a bag of things.
"Eh? Senior Kobayashi, are you back?"
Yukihira Soma wondered.
He remembered that Kobayashi Rindo had gone on an adventure around the world after the exams, and he didn't expect her to finally be back.
"Huh? What's this? Is it a new ingredient again?"
Kobayashi Rindo leaned over, staring at the fruit wine in Satou's glass, sniffing. A hint of curiosity appeared in her golden pupils.
Satou was a bit speechless. How was it that whenever there was a new ingredient, Kobayashi Rindo would happen to encounter it?
Was this the unique sense of smell of a gourmet hunter?
However, after not seeing her for several days, Kobayashi Rindo's skin had tanned a bit, but this didn't affect her beauty. She exuded a healthy, sunny vitality from head to toe.
Perhaps because she was taller, Kobayashi Rindo's figure was more slender compared to other girls, especially her long legs, which were delicate yet not lacking in explosive power.
"Hey, hey, little junior! What's this? Can I have a little sip?"
Kobayashi Rindo showed her two pointed canine teeth, looking curiously at Satou's cup.
Satou was a bit speechless, but he still handed his cup to her.
Kobayashi Rindo giggled, not minding at all, and took it directly for a sip.
Immediately, her golden pupils sparkled with excitement, and she said in pleasant surprise, "Such delicious fruit wine! It's a pity it's not a bit stronger."
"Everyone, the sashimi is ready!"
At this moment, Erina Nakiri, wearing an apron like a domestic housewife, walked out of the kitchen.
There was still a lot of beautiful tuna, and Satou and the others couldn't finish it all. As the freezing time lengthened, the taste would worsen, so Satou often brought it out to treat everyone.
"Sashimi?"
Kobayashi Rindo's eyes lit up again!
"Oh? Senior Kobayashi, are you back?"
Erina Nakiri asked in surprise.
Kobayashi Rindo looked her up and down, and said with some doubt, "After a few days, Erina, you seem to have become much more gentle and virtuous."
Erina Nakiri's face immediately flushed upon hearing this.
However, Kobayashi Rindo ignored her, directly picked up a piece of sashimi with her fingers, and put it into her mouth.
"What kind of fish is this? Tuna? But even bluefin tuna doesn't have such a good texture!"
She said in extreme surprise, then ran in front of Satou, lightly punched him with her small fist, and whined, "Little junior, you're too mean! You hid such delicious food and didn't give it to me!"
Satou was a bit speechless. After all, Kobayashi Rindo was two years older than him, so why did she sometimes act like a little sister?
"By the way, Senior, did you bring back any ingredients this time?"
Yukihira Soma directly started rummaging through Kobayashi Rindo's bag.
Every time she came back, she would bring some strange ingredients. Last time, she brought dried salamanders, and Satou remembered Akikubo Momo was scared to tears because of it.
Inside were some bottles and jars, seemingly containing liquid.
"Is it drinks inside?"
Yukihira Soma asked curiously.
Tadokoro Megumi, Yuki Yoshino, and the others were a bit afraid, worried that some terrifying creature might crawl out.
"Huh? Is it alcohol?"
Yukihira Soma opened a bottle, sniffed it, and said in surprise.
"Mm!"
Kobayashi Rindo immediately smiled, revealing her two small canine teeth, "Rare wines I collected from all over the world, but I didn't expect the best wine to be right here with my little junior!"
A look of annoyance appeared on her face.
"What kind of wine is this? Rice wine?"
Yukihira Soma opened a white bottle; the liquid inside seemed white and had a scent of rice.
"This is Kuchikamizake."
Kobayashi Rindo explained.
"Eh? What is Kuchikamizake?"
Yukihira Soma asked with a strange expression.
"You don't even know that? It's wine made by chewing glutinous rice in the mouth, then putting it into a bottle, and fermenting it with saliva."
Erina Nakiri said.
"How disgusting."
Yuki Yoshino said with a look of disdain.
"What do you know?"
Erina Nakiri rarely regained her tsundere expression, "This is the most primitive and ancient brewing technique mastered by humans. It also exists in Neon, introduced from Huaxia. Shrine maidens specifically make this wine to offer to the gods. And it is said that those who make this wine are virgins."
"Really? Could this be Senior Kobayashi's Kuchikamizake?"
Yukihira Soma's eyes lit up, and he took a direct sip.
"Ah? No!"
A rare hint of shyness appeared on Kobayashi Rindo's face, and she quickly cried out.
But it was too late. Yukihira Soma had already taken a sip, smacked his lips, and said, "It tastes sweet and sour, with a faint alcoholic flavor. But Senior Kobayashi, did you not brush your teeth these past few days? It smells a bit stinky."
