[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

"I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand you..."

"Whether it's a sudden idea to open a restaurant, food that can replenish people's life force, or a sudden mastery of elemental power..."

"All sorts of amazing abilities have appeared in you."

"But I still believe that I understand you."

"Hmm~, be gentle here."

"it is good."

Chao Ke changed positions and continued massaging, not quite knowing how to continue the conversation.

"But recently, I realized I was wrong."

"Or rather..."

"Chao Ke, I've realized you're really hungry."

Chao Ke: "???"

"That day, President Carles of the Rose Society asked to meet with me privately. She wanted to discuss something about her daughter..."

“I even reassured him when he was afraid that you would have an ambiguous relationship with his daughter.”

"I thought you weren't interested in the type of girl with blond hair."

"But now it seems I was wrong..."

"Kares' concerns may not be unfounded."

Chao Ke: "???"

Sis, what do you mean by those words?

The impact of these words left Chao Ke's mind reeling.

Chao Ke even looked at his own hands with suspicion.

I didn't apply any fiery essential oil, so why is my sister's tone getting more and more off?

Also, how did you come to that conclusion, sis...?

Surely not? My affair with Faroshan has already reached Fontainebleau?

After a moment of silence, Chao Ke asked Arecino.

"Sister, how did you find out about me and Farusan?"

Arecino paused. "Her name is Farusian...?"

“I didn’t intentionally send someone to monitor you; I was just a little worried about you. So I specifically asked Miss Catherine to take good care of you in the countries I’m visiting.”

"then....."

Chao Ke's lips twitched.

"Catherine, you're really dedicated to your work..."

"I really like you so much..."

[Bonus chapter added to improve the rating from 7.4 to 7.5]

Although Chao Ke learned the reason for his older sister's unusual mood, today's conversation was far from over.

Chao Ke didn't put all the blame on Miss Catherine, after all, he was the one who did the bad thing.

She would tell Arecino about Farusian someday.

However, Miss Catherine brought this matter forward by quite some time.

This also caught Chao Ke off guard.

Judging from what my older sister is saying now, it seems like she wants to have a showdown of truth.

Chao Ke sighed. He not only had to fight this unprepared and tough battle, but he also had to fight it well.

Chao Ke was no good person; he never hid his lust for his older sister's body.

Arecino understood this perfectly well, but instead of disliking Chao Ke, she would occasionally give him a chance.

The familial bond between the two has been altered...

It is precisely because of this conflicted feeling that Chao Ke is the only exception in Arecino's eyes.

She was so exceptional that she could make an exception for Chao Ke on some issues that involved her principles.

If Chao Ke hadn't been sent abroad this time, perhaps the outcome of their relationship would have been like a spoiled apple.

What started as a minor breach of kinship gradually spread to the entire fruit.

That slight ambiguity, nurtured by familial affection, can quickly transform into romantic love.

But... there are no "ifs".

The relationship between Chao Ke and Farusan became a thorn in Arecino's side.

This needle is extremely tricky.

It only pricks the spoiled part, without affecting the remaining pulp.

To put it bluntly, Arecino couldn't bear to throw away the result of her relationship with Chao Ke.

What Arecino hesitated about was whether to erase the part of their relationship that had soured, leaving only pure familial affection.

In this way, the thorn from Faroshan will not harm him.

but...

Watching the hands moving around on my shoulders and neck, secretly taking advantage of me.

Arecino knew she had failed.

The spoiled part had silently seeped deep into the pit, and by then it was too late to remove it.

Arecino raised her head and freed her hands.

After a helpless sigh, Arecino grasped the hands that Chao Ke was massaging.

He tugged at her, making Chao Ke's body press tightly against him from behind.

"Fine, since I don't have the determination and perseverance to remove the spoiled parts, I might as well enjoy the process of spoilage."

"Besides, I was here first..."

Chow was caught off guard by Arecino's sudden attack.

A strange blush even rose within her...

Arecino glanced back at Chao Ke, "You're blushing..."

"Ah."

However, the two, caught up in their blissful moment, seemed to have forgotten.

The door to Arecino's office was still open.

Just then, Linnie, who was returning home, caught a glimpse of this scene.

He rubbed his forehead with one hand, thinking, "I really didn't do all that unnecessary analysis..."

------------

The couple's home in the Leonai district.

Even though Arecino made her choice, it doesn't mean that Chao Ke can go any further.

The deterioration of family ties also takes time; skipping directly to the final step means losing the beauty of the process.

Of course, Aregino also made a three-point agreement with Chao Ke.

At least for now, in this room between the two of them...

Only Arecino and Chao Ke are allowed.

At most, you can add a [Worldly Lock], but it can only be stored in Chao Ke's bedroom and cannot be placed elsewhere.

This is Arecino's bottom line.

Chao Ke naturally agreed to and abided by the contract with Arecino.

Knowing Arecino's temperament, Chao Ke understood how difficult it was for her to make this concession.

Silent all night.

The next day, Chao Ke got up early as usual and prepared a sumptuous breakfast to enjoy with Arecino.

This time, however, the two did not keep a certain distance from each other as before, but sat down to eat together.

It has to be said, this feeling—both familiar and strange, even a little exciting—is truly addictive...

After the meal, the two walked together from the Leonai district toward the Boufati Mansion.

After parting ways at the entrance of the mansion, Arecino went inside to begin her day's business, while Chao Ke stepped into the long-missed [Delicious Taste Restaurant].

It's been a long time since I've been back... maybe fifty or so chapters?

In short, when Chao Ke pushed open the restaurant door, everyone inside expressed surprise and delight.

First were the restaurant's waitresses, Ashley and Miss Butler, followed by Louise and three married apprentices who came out of the kitchen.

The six people at [Delicious Restaurant] warmly welcomed Chao Ke's return.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chao Ke joined the kitchen of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] and began working alongside the restaurant staff.

After a full day of operation, Chao Ke roughly understood the current state of the restaurant's business.

Thanks to the restaurant's high-tech equipment and self-service model, Ms. Ashley and Ms. Butler can assist customers with taking orders even when the restaurant is full.

In the kitchen, although there were five people including Chao Ke, the three of them working together were only able to produce enough food to keep up with demand.

As for profits, the store's daily net profit, after deducting all costs, is currently between 600,000 and 800,000 Mora.

The gains from the power of the spirit food are roughly between 14 and 17 points per day (when Chao Ke is in the store) or between 4 and 7 points (when Chao Ke is not in the store).
