That night, the villa was exceptionally lively.
Nanami had also been dragged out of her room by Fujino.
Little Kurumi had undoubtedly become good friends with them. In a short time, the three of them became close friends who shared everything.
This situation made Fujino hesitate. Should she really let little Kurumi become her future self? Or should she let her stay as she was and find another chance for little Kurumi to become a Spirit?
Sighing, Fujino decided to take things one step at a time. Anyway, Kyubey hadn't even finished dealing with Nia yet.
Because little Kurumi and Tokisaki Yume were staying over for the night, Fujino intended to cook dinner herself. She specifically had A2, who had matters to handle today, come back as well.
The dinner was extremely lavish, a table full of dishes emitting an inviting aroma. Even Tokisaki Yume, who had seen many delicacies from star-rated restaurants, was greatly surprised. She was amazed to find that the dishes Fujino made looked even better than those from so-called star-rated restaurants.
"Come, sit down. There's plenty more," Fujino warmly pulled Tokisaki Yume's hand, leading her to sit beside her.
Fujino's warmth made Tokisaki Yume feel a bit uncomfortable. Especially the moment Fujino grabbed her hand, Tokisaki Yume felt a long-absent restlessness in her heart. However, her good upbringing allowed her to suppress that feeling.
"So wonderful! Did Big Sister Fujino make all of these?!" Looking at the table full of delicacies, little Kurumi's mouth was practically watering. Not just little Kurumi, but even Nanami and Mukuro were the same.
Nanami, in particular, looked at the table of food and then glanced at Fujino with a somewhat resentful gaze. Fujino had never cooked for her, but now that Tokisaki Yume and little Kurumi were here, she had. There was no need to guess her intentions; she was definitely going to make a move on this mother and daughter pair.
"Alright, don't just stare. Sit down and eat," Fujino laughed. "If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen."
Fujino had made a lot this time, not just for this dinner, but also to reward the YoRHa Units in the DEM Company. Since Fujino had already modified their bodies, the YoRHa Unit members could eat just like normal people.
The YoRHa Units had worked so hard for Fujino over the years, so she naturally wanted to reward them. After finishing the cooking, she sent the food over via technological teleportation.
"Alright, let's eat." Following Fujino's words, the Little Lolis, who had been unable to restrain themselves, quickly started using their chopsticks. As the food entered their mouths, happy smiles appeared on their faces.
"So tasty~"
Seeing little Kurumi's face full of happiness—even to an exaggerated degree—Tokisaki Yume couldn't help but feel curious. She used her chopsticks to pick up a dish and put it in her mouth. The next moment, Tokisaki Yume also revealed a happy smile. However, her smile was different from little Kurumi and the others. Her cheeks turned red, and her long, slender legs under the table involuntarily pressed together. Her body swayed slightly as she let out an inviting moan, much like the people tasting food in the world of Food Wars!.
However, Tokisaki Yume quickly reacted and realized her previous behavior, making her face turn even redder. Especially after she saw Fujino's half-smiling expression, she lowered her head in embarrassment, her cheeks so red they looked as if a light pinch could draw blood.
It was perfectly normal for Tokisaki Yume to act this way. After all, she was someone who had experienced society, and her thoughts were not as simple as Kurumi and the others. It was much like those people in the Food Wars! world who would make faces as if they were on drugs after tasting good food; the reason was likely the same.
Tokisaki Yume lowered her head, her eyes darting around cautiously. Discovering that everyone except Fujino was happily devouring the food on the table and hadn't noticed her earlier behavior, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Being seen by one person was still better than being seen by a whole group, especially since her daughter was here; it wouldn't be good if she set a bad example.
"Come, have some wine." Fujino magically produced a bottle of high-end red wine from behind her back. As for what vintage it was, Fujino didn't know. Regardless, to her, all red wine tasted the same, and it wasn't even as satisfying as soda. Perhaps she just didn't know how to drink it. To her, the only benefit of red wine was that it could get people drunk.
"Okay." Still shy, Tokisaki Yume didn't pay attention to how Fujino had produced the wine. She took the wine poured by Fujino and took an elegant sip.
Fujino also took a small sip while simultaneously opening the system shop in her mind and selecting an item.
Ibuki Suika's Persuasive Drinking Ability (Upgraded Version)
No one can refuse your toast, not even a god!
Points: 30,000.
Fujino purchased it directly for a mere 30,000 points. This ability was quite good, effective even against gods. Spending 30,000 points was very worthwhile, and for Fujino, such a small amount was nothing, as her points were constantly rising with those Reincarnators working hard for her.
"Come, let's keep drinking." Under the influence of the drinking ability, Tokisaki Yume had no possibility of refusal, and this time she heroically downed the red wine in her glass.
"Continue." Fujino refilled Tokisaki Yume's glass, and under the influence of the ability, Tokisaki Yume drained it again.
"Continue." Fujino refilled the wine for Tokisaki Yume again, and Tokisaki Yume continued to drain the red wine in her hand. At this moment, with her brain slightly affected by the alcohol, Tokisaki Yume completely failed to notice that after three glasses, the red wine in Fujino's hand had not decreased at all.
"Continue." Another glass of red wine was drained by Tokisaki Yume. She felt something unusual now and didn't really want to drink anymore. She wanted to voice her refusal, but Fujino's "Continue" rang in her ears again, and she once again downed the red wine in her glass.
Alcohol eroded Tokisaki Yume's brain, and her thoughts gradually dissipated, while Fujino's "Continue" echoed in her mind.
Little Kurumi did not notice her mother at this moment; she was completely captivated by the food. Her little cheeks were stuffed full, looking extremely cute. It wasn't just Little Kurumi; Mukuro was the same, and even A2 and 2B were the same. The only ones present who were better off were Nanami and Fujino, who was pouring wine for Tokisaki Yume.
The three Little Lolis leading the group gently stroked their slightly bulging little bellies, their faces full of satisfaction. A2 and 2B, who were beside the three Little Lolis, were doing fine because their special constitutions allowed them to quickly digest the food and store it as energy.
By now, the entire table full of dishes had been wiped out.
"Alright, Little Kurumi and Mukuro, sit on the chairs and rest for a while. I'll take your Mama upstairs to rest first; she's drunk."
Hearing Fujino's words, Little Kurumi finally noticed that her mother was already looking drunk, her head resting on Sister Fujino's shoulder. If not for Sister Fujino supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground.
It was the first time Little Kurumi had seen her mother drunk. However, thinking that her father had passed away, her mother must have accumulated a lot of pressure, which was why she got drunk.
Little Kurumi immediately nodded and smiled at Fujino: "Troubling you, Big Sister Fujino."
"It's nothing." Looking at Little Kurumi's smile, Fujino actually felt a hint of guilt thinking about what she was going to do later, but it quickly dissipated. She also smiled at Little Kurumi: "I'll take your mother upstairs to take a bath first, then let her rest well. You guys rest for a while, and I'll have Sister Nanami take you to take a bath as well."
"Okay, I understand." The three Little Lolis replied in unison.
