I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

At the same time, Yuhaka also had the cats build a large bathhouse, which avoided the need for them to travel to the hot springs in the volcanic area to take a bath every time they wanted to, since the place was far away and Yuhaka needed to use Imaginary Teleportation to get there.

Yoshina looked at the bathroom in front of her and nodded, saying:

"Hmm, looks like this is a good place to play games~ How's the soundproofing here?"

Hearing Yoshina's words, Yuhaka looked puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized. "Playing games" probably meant those rubber birds, and "soundproofing" meant preventing others from hearing him playing with rubber birds and calling him a child! Yuhaka understands!

Then Yuhaka took Yoshina to the kitchen. While there, Yuhaka excitedly said to Yoshina:

"This is Youyou's kitchen~ The place where Youyou cooks~ OwO~"

Seeing Yuhaka's "OwO~" expression, Yoshino remembered the time when Yoshino and Yuhaka were at the park, and it was Yuhaka who cooked for Yoshino back then.

Looking at the fully equipped kitchen in front of her, Yoshina turned to Yuhaka and asked:

"Is Yoyo-chan the only one using this kitchen?"

Upon hearing this question, Yuhaka shook his head and said:

"No, besides Youyou, there's also San San and other people~ OwO/"

After receiving Yuhaka's reply, Yoshina nodded and said:

"I see. So, Yu-Yu-chan is a great cook?"

"Youyou is such a great cook! =w=~"

In response to Yoshina's question, Yuhaka replied with a smug look on his face and his hands on his hips. Seeing Yuhaka's confident demeanor, Yoshina couldn't help but be curious about Yuhaka's cooking skills. After all, to win a man's heart through his stomach, one must have excellent cooking skills, and vice versa.

"Mmm, having good cooking skills is very important if you want to win a girl's heart through her stomach~"

"OwO?"

Hearing Yoshina's words, Yuhaka looked a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it.

Afterwards, Yuhaka showed Yoshina around the rooms and let her choose one. Yoshina asked Yuhaka about the empty rooms:

"By the way, Yu-Yu-chan, where is your room?"

Upon hearing Yoshina's question, Yuhaka looked at her with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding why Yoshina wanted to know where her room was. However, Yuhaka honestly told Yoshina where her room was, and after hearing where Yuhaka's room was, Yoshina asked Yuhaka to lead her to the empty rooms around Yuhaka's room.

Coincidentally, there was an empty room near Yuhaka. Yoshina's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she said to Yuhaka:

"Then I'll take this room. Is that alright?"

Yuhaka naturally didn't object to Yoshino's request. After all, no one wanted the empty room anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to let Yoshino and Yoshino stay there. Of course, Yuhaka had no idea why Yoshino chose the empty room closest to his own. He probably wouldn't find out until one night.

After Yoshina chose her room, Yuhaka had the cats bring over the furniture parts that had been prepared in advance from the warehouse. It was at this time that Yoshina had something she wanted to talk to Yuhaka about.

P.S.: I'm still experiencing writer's block, it's so frustrating...

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1361 [Yoshina's Request]

In the ancient forest region where Yuhaka resides, Yuhaka brought Yoshina here. Yoshina, looking at the towering trees that had sprung up around them, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

Wow~ The trees growing here are really big~ It must have taken a lot of time for these trees to grow so tall, right?

Upon hearing Yoshina's question, Yuhaka looked at her with a puzzled expression and said:

"No, these trees only took two or three minutes to grow this big, OwO~"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Yoshina looked at him with a blank expression, clearly shocked by Yuhaka's words about growing into a towering tree in just a few minutes.

Then, seeing Yoshina's incredulous expression, Yuhaka placed his hand under a sapling that hadn't yet grown, and a bright green light appeared. Under this light, the sapling suddenly began to grow rapidly, and before long, it had grown into a large tree as tall as a tower. Yoshina was stunned by this scene.

The saplings, growing wildly as if they had been given a golden fertilizer, were a bit hard for Yoshina to understand. However, Yuhaka seemed a little surprised, clenching her small palms as if she was somewhat taken aback.

"Hmm? Youyou's gotten stronger O^O? Hmm! That's great~ OwO~"

Despite some doubts, Yhaka didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, if he didn't become stronger, Yhaka might consider hunting some powerful monsters.

After Yoshina came to her senses, she looked at Yuhaka and said:

"Oh, oh, oh~ that's really true, Yoyo-chan, how did you do that?"

Upon hearing Yoshina's question, Yuhaka tilted her head and said:

"Hmm? Youyou wanted the tree to grow, and by thinking that, she made it happen! OwO~"

Yoshina looked utterly bewildered by Yuhaka's answer, clearly realizing that asking Yuhaka that question was incredibly stupid.

.................................................. ......................

Led by Yuhaka, at a lake in an ancient forest, Yuhaka sat down on a huge wooden stake after placing a blanket on it. Yuhaka patted the spot next to him and looked at Yoshina with sparkling eyes.

Seeing Yuhaka's expression, as if he were a child on a picnic, Yoshina didn't know what to say. However, this also made Yoshina feel like she was taking care of a child. Well... according to her age, she was already a woman approaching thirty.

Of course, Yoshino's mental age is about the same as her appearance, or maybe even a little younger.

After Yoshina sat down next to Yuhaka, Yuhaka took out a plate of homemade herbivorous dragon jerky from the dimensional portal and placed it in front of the two of them. Yuhaka picked up a piece of herbivorous dragon jerky and handed it to Yoshina, saying:

"Yoshina, here you go~ OwO/, Yuuyu made her own herbivorous dragon jerky~"

"Oh, thank you!"

Upon receiving the herbivorous dragon jerky, Yoshina thanked Yuhaka and accepted it. To be honest, this was the first time Yoshina had ever eaten anything. Although Yoshina was another personality of Yoshino, she had never fought with Yoshino for control of the body. The only connection to the outside world was Yoshino's rabbit hand puppet. This made Yoshina a little curious about whether Yuhaka's food was actually delicious.

After taking a bite of the herbivorous dragon jerky in her hand, Yoshina found that it wasn't as hard and dry as she had imagined, which surprised her.

Most importantly, every time Yoshina chews, she can feel the flavorful marinade in the herbivorous dragon jerky being released like squeezed milk. The more she chews, the richer the marinade becomes, which makes Yoshina exclaim "Delicious!"

When Yoshina said that the herbivorous dragon jerky she made was delicious, Yuhaka, who was standing nearby, also looked happy.

Then, as if remembering something, Yuhaka stopped wagging her big tail and looked at Yoshina, who was munching on jerky like a rabbit with her cheeks puffed out, and asked:

"By the way, Yoshina, why did you call Yuu over here to chat?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's question, Yoshino, who was munching on jerky, suddenly remembered that she had called Yuu out to talk to Yuhaka about Yoshino.

After swallowing the herbivorous dragon jerky in her mouth, Yoshina looked at Yuhaka and asked:

"Yuyu-chan, do you like Yoshino?"

Upon hearing Yoshina's direct question, Yuhaka nodded without hesitation and replied:

"Mmm, Yu-Yu really likes Yoshino, and Yoshino too~"

As he spoke, Yuhaka wagged his big tail, and Yoshina looked on with a "WTF" expression when she heard Yuhaka's words. She was clearly surprised that Yuhaka answered so quickly and even included her in the conversation!

Good heavens! So he's even going after himself?!

Well... to be honest, Yoshina felt a little happy inside after hearing Yuhaka say her name.

But... looking at Yuhaka's innocent expression, Yoshino roughly guessed that he probably liked her as a friend.

Well, it's normal to think that way. After all, it's impossible for the other person's expression of liking to be the same as your own, right?

"Forget it, let's not think about these complicated things anymore." After calming herself down a bit, Yoshina looked at Yuhaka and said:

"Well... I'm a little embarrassed, but Yuu-chan, can I ask you to take care of Yoshino?"

"Hmm? Hmm OwO~"

Hearing Yoshina's question, Yuhaka also looked puzzled, but he nodded and agreed to Yoshina's request. Seeing how decisively Yuhaka agreed, Yoshina couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.

Yoshina clearly hadn't expected Yuhaka to answer so decisively. Although Yoshina had noticed Yuhaka's hesitation for a moment, Yuhaka hadn't asked her anything and had directly agreed to her request. This left Yoshina with no opportunity to say anything she had prepared.

This made Yoshina feel like a hunter fully armed and ready to hunt a monster, only to find that it was just a little white rabbit, leaving Yoshina speechless.

Yoshina scratched her cheek, somewhat speechless, and looked at Yuhaka curiously, asking:

"YuYu-chan, aren't you even a little curious about why I asked you to take care of Yoshino?"

Regarding Yoshina's question, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Yoshina, asking:

"I'm curious, OwO~ So why do you say that?"

Seeing Yuhaka's reaction, Yoshina didn't know what to say. After all, Yuhaka's reaction was a bit annoying. However, after taking a few bites of the herbivorous dragon jerky that Yuhaka had made, Yoshina explained to him:

"Do you know anything about the world of 'Date A Live' that we live in?"

Upon hearing Yoshino's question, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood. After seeing that Yuhaka knew, Yoshino put down the beef jerky in her hand and explained to Yuhaka why she wanted to entrust Yoshino to Yuhaka's care. The reason was because of Takamiya Mio. After all, with Mio around, Yoshino really wouldn't dare to let Yoshino stay in that world.

She was terrified that Mio Takamiya would suddenly appear and use a "Black Tiger Claws Out the Heart" technique on Yoshino, stealing her spirit crystal, which would surely kill Yoshino.

As for Yuhaka, Yoshina wasn't worried about Takamiya Mio. After all, if the other party intended to be retrieved, she would probably have already come to this world. Yoshina was betting that the other party didn't have the ability to come to another world. If the other party was also inexplicably sent to this world like herself, Yoshina could only let Yuhaka use this spatial ability (imaginary space) to avoid the other party.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1362 [Lafite: Be Alert!]

After hearing Yoshina's explanation, Yuhaka nodded with a "Yoo-yoo understands!" expression and said:

"YuYu understands, YuYu will protect Yoshino and Yoshina well OwO~"

When Yoshina heard that Yuhaka had even included her in his protection, she was taken aback. Clearly, Yoshina hadn't expected Yuhaka to include her in his selection.

After receiving Yuhaka's reply, Yoshina looked at Yuhaka with a teasing expression and said:

"Oh my gosh~ I didn't expect Yu-Yu-chan to be so bold~ You're not even going to let me go?"

"OwO???"

Yuhaka looked at Yoshino with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what Yoshino was talking about. After all, in Yuhaka's mind, Yoshino and Yoshina shared the same body, so protecting Yoshino was no different from protecting Yoshina.

Of course, Yoshino doesn't know what Yuhaka is thinking, and Yoshino herself doesn't dislike a kid like Yuhaka. Yoshino also thinks it's great that Yoshino can make a friend like Yuhaka. Judging from his personality, Yuhaka is quite suitable as a friend of Yoshino's age.

If the two could turn their friendship into a close bond, Yoshino would think that would be even better. However, Yoshino felt that the possibility of that was very low, since the two of them were just clueless kids (not really). So, she would need to give Yoshino a few helping hands.

Of course, in the days that followed, Yoshino never expected that by giving Yoshino an assist, she would end up sending herself out first.

"Well... I'll leave that aside for now. I'll leave Yoshino in your care, Yuu-chan~ And this is my reward for protecting Yoshino~"

As she spoke, Yoshina leaned down and gave Yuhaka a quick kiss on the cheek. Yuhaka, caught off guard, looked on with a blank expression, clearly not expecting Yoshina to kiss him so suddenly. However, after the kiss, Yoshina leaned against Yuhaka, and her spirit dress reverted to the green coat-like spirit dress that Yoshino wore.

Yuhaka, who was holding Yoshino, looked at Yoshino in his arms with a puzzled expression, clearly not expecting that Yoshino would suddenly change back.

".......Um?"

As Yoshino transformed back to normal, she slowly opened her blue eyes and looked up to see Yuhka with an "OwO?" expression. This puzzled Yoshino for a moment. Then, she realized that she seemed to be in Yuhka's arms, which made her wonder why she was in Yuhka's arms.

This puzzled Yoshino, but when she realized she was in Yuhaka's arms, her face immediately turned bright red. She quickly left Yuhaka's embrace, looking a little nervous and shy, and sat down to the side, saying:

"Huh?! Why am I saying this here?!"

Seeing Yoshino's flustered expression, Yoshino, whose puppet had reverted to its original form, said to Yoshino:

"Oh dear~ Yoshino doesn't remember?"

"Huh? Don't you remember???"
