The afternoon of the next day!
Ayato finally finished his work and had some free time.
Totsuki Academy!
Occult Service Cooking Club.
Ayato sat in a chair, tasting the latest dishes created by Erina and the others.
Opposite him!
Erina and Rindou were locked in a standoff.
"Master, isn't my dish more delicious?" x2
"I haven't eaten yet. Wait a moment."
Ayato picked up his chopsticks, both amused and exasperated.
Both dishes, without exception, used Dangerous Species as ingredients. They were truly a feast for the eyes and nose.
Both were among the best chefs to begin with.
And with these ingredients...
The dishes they made had basically surpassed all ordinary chefs in the world.
"Mm, both are delicious."
After eating, Ayato expressed high approval.
Beside him, Hisako took out a clay pot. "Master, after eating Erina-sama's and Rindou-senpai's dishes, try my medicinal soup. I used many precious herbs from other worlds in it."
"???"
Ayato's expression was peculiar.
It's for me to drink, right?
You drinking it yourself... what's that about?
"Mmph..."
Ayato blinked, his throat moving as he swallowed the soup.
Drinking it this way wasn't bad either.
Rindou: "Glare."
She had been careless.
She didn't expect the other to have made progress too.
Seeing this, Erina also took a sip of the soup and leaned in. "Master, the soup... Hisako's... soup really has a good flavor."
Erina initiated a request to feed him soup.
The corner of Ayato's mouth curled up as he turned his head.
"Mmph..."
Erina's eyes widened.
Her God's Tongue felt the medicinal soup even more intensely.
Her breathing became a bit heavy.
"Master."
Rindou gulped down a mouthful of soup and immediately snuggled into Ayato's lap.
Anyone could play those little tricks.
Seeing this, Ayato smiled slightly and lowered his head.
Before long.
The entire clay pot of medicinal soup had been completely drunk by Ayato.
Just as things were about to get out of hand, the clubroom door was knocked on.
Ayato raised an eyebrow.
Could it be... that today would finally bear fruit?
"Master, I'll get the door."
Hisako quickly stood up.
Her mother had said that sensible women were likable.
Creak.
As the door opened...
A girl with blonde hair, green eyes, and brown skin came into view.
Stare!
Looking at her, Hisako's eyelids twitched.
Damn it!
She had lost again.
These women, their... sizes were simply unfair. What did they eat growing up?
She herself drank targeted medicinal soups, so why was there no effect?
"Hello. I heard there are very rare ingredients here, and I wanted to..."
Mito Ikumi's words stopped abruptly, her face instantly turning red.
S-shameless!
Weren't those Nakiri Erina and Kobayashi Rindou?
These two women...
You really couldn't tell on normal days.
Oh my god!
She had actually been considering joining this club.
She must have lost her mind.
"Well, I think I have the wrong place."
Shaking her head wildly, Nikumi prepared to leave.
Staying in this place any longer seemed very bad.
"Miss, since you're here, come in and have a look."
Hisako grabbed her arm and smiled. "Don't worry, I promise the ingredients won't disappoint you."
The person before her was a truly genuine beautiful girl.
She definitely met Master's criteria for a servant.
Since she had come knocking...
There was no way she was getting away.
"Eh?! Eh?!"
Nikumi was completely confused, her whole body forcibly brought into the clubroom.
This woman was so strong!
She simply couldn't resist at all.
"Master, I didn't let her escape. Am I great?"
Hisako pushed Nikumi in front of Ayato.
Nikumi flushed red again.
M-Master?
What kind of address was that?
Were these people playing such wild games?
And what did she mean by "didn't let her escape"?
Indeed, this place was very bad.
Ayato looked at Nikumi, the corner of his mouth already curling up.
It seemed he would be adding one more to his wings today.
"Not bad. What reward do you want?"
"Well..."
Hisako fidgeted, then said quietly, "Let's keep it for now. I'll ask Master for it later."
"I see."
Ayato looked at her with a faint smile.
This scene...
Looked familiar!
It seemed another one of his servants was about to have a revelation.
Seeing Nikumi's flustered state, Ayato said, "You wanted to see rare ingredients, right?"
"Simple. Erina, process her membership."
"Okay."
Erina nodded, took out a form from the cabinet, and said, "Miss, fill out this club application form first."
