I will never give in to Miss Death

The girl behind him was a little confused: "Shouldn't you...decorate the room first?"

I didn't even turn my head: "It doesn't matter what I do, I'll deal with it later."

Since Elodie and Yin Xiamo's purpose of recruiting roommates is "wanting to eat home-cooked meals", then I have the obligation to shoulder this responsibility.

A monthly rent of 500 yuan is considered "quite cheap" even in Minaminagi district of Kamihama City. If I remember correctly, the rent in this community is generally around 2000 yuan per month, and there are various additional fees: property fees, water fees, electricity fees, internet fees... In busy areas, even these "basic" fees can reach 3000 or even yuan.

This is how it is in big cities, some workers work hard for ten years and still earn 250 yuan a month, some get lucky and become wealthy and earn millions a month, some people live in urban villages accompanied by rats, some live in picturesque villas, some live in remote alleys with rent of , and some landlords in the city center can earn hundreds of thousands a month just by collecting rent.

At least so far... My first impression of this old house in Elodie is very good.

It is far away from the city and is usually very quiet. I will not be disturbed when sleeping. The surrounding infrastructure and shops are also very complete. The rent is only 500 yuan, and I don’t have to pay for water, electricity, rent or internet fees. It is also less than minutes away from the coffee shop where I work.

The only drawback here may be that it is not as prosperous as the city center and there are not as many people.

Although I know that with Elodie's personality, it doesn't matter whether she lives here and cooks or not, and she won't suddenly change her attitude and kick me out, but after all, I have received other people's kindness, and I am still very happy to be able to repay them.

“Is this originally powered by natural gas?”

In the kitchen on the first floor connected to the living room, I carefully checked the equipment here while placing the various kitchen utensils that I had just moved in one by one.

Before I came, the place was already equipped with a large rice cooker and induction cooker, as well as a stove specifically for cooking, which used natural gas transported from outside.

You can see that the device that calculates the gas is showing the current gas amount of 39 cubic meters.

If I run out of gas, where do I go to pay? Or is it a fixed amount every month?

Following the pipe, I noticed that the whole house seemed to use gas, including the faucets in the bathroom and the shower head in the bathroom.

A large water heater is installed in the kitchen. If you press the hot water switch in the bathroom, the water heater here will use gas to start, boil water, and then transport the hot water over.

Similarly, if the weather is cold, you can use hot water to wash vegetables in the kitchen.

What makes me happiest is that the kitchen space is quite large and the counter is not too high. Even though I am less than 1.4 meters tall, I can still stand directly in front of these pots and pans and operate them.

"Is there anything missing?"

As he was observing, Yin Xiamo came over from behind. She had changed into a very ordinary T-shirt and shorts without knowing when, looking like a girl next door.

"There's a lack of bowls."

I opened the disinfection cabinet below: "And there are plates for food."

Elodie said she can't cook, and that the Death Girls haven't cooked in the past few years. I thought they just "often order takeout" and "occasionally eat at home", but I didn't expect that these two people really have never cooked a meal.

I couldn't find any dishes or chopsticks in the entire kitchen, including the refrigerator next to it.

No bowls or chopsticks! Not even a bowl or a pair of chopsticks.

This kitchen does have its own frying pan and spatula, as well as a large rice cooker. Both the pot and the spatula are brand new - the spatula doesn't even have the trademark removed.

Just now, the Death Girl and I moved almost all the appliances from the kitchen of the small apartment here. Now we have two rice cookers, two frying pans, two induction cookers, and two spatulas. When the time comes, I can do multi-threaded operations when cooking. I don't have to use the rice cooker to cook rice and make soup at the same time like before. However, the problem is... there are not enough bowls for three people here.

"Do you usually order takeout in addition to fast food?"

I couldn’t bear to look at the miserable state of the kitchen, so I subconsciously asked Yin Xiamo behind me, “Aren’t you going to buy chopsticks?”

"You...you know me."

The girl at the kitchen door was a little embarrassed: "I can't cook."

"Not at all?"

"will not."

"Isn't cooking simple? You just buy some rice and put it in the rice cooker, add one-third of water and press the cook button. Then you can buy some cooked food, roast duck, chicken wings, or shredded chicken, etc. They will help you prepare it. You can just add seasoning and eat it."

I became even more curious: "Even if you really don't know how to cook, you can still buy lettuce, wash it briefly, blanch it with hot water, add some soy sauce and you can eat it."

"..."

The girl at the kitchen door looked confused.

"Ah... never mind."

I glanced at the soy sauce, vinegar, and salt I had just brought back from the rental house: "I'll teach you when I have time..."

"Have you moved your stuff?"

As he was talking, Elodie's voice came from the stairs next to the kitchen. Her former editor came down in just a nightgown: "When did you move? Why is there no movement at all?"

"Anyway, we just moved."

I quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Editor, have you finished your work?"

"I was just playing games."

Elodie yawned, "I couldn't beat that Ben with Qingyuan for a long time, so I gave up. I took a shower and heard you guys talking here... What are you talking about?"

"We were talking about the problem of not having enough jobs."

I pointed to the disinfection cabinet in the kitchen: "You don't have any bowls here. I usually eat alone at home. If I cook for three people... there won't be enough bowls and chopsticks."

"Oh, then I'll buy some tomorrow when I get back from work."

Elodie didn't seem to care: "What style do you want?"

"It doesn't matter. As long as the bowls and chopsticks are usable, that's fine."

I thought about it and said, "And I may not be back until after 12 o'clock tomorrow night."

"Want to work overtime?"

"Ah."

"Pitiful."

Elodie yawned again: "Even worse than those old foxes in Yaedo."

"I took the initiative to ask for it."

I quickly explained: "I want to save more money."

From what you said... the "old fox" in Yaedo has done similar things many times in the past?

"So what's missing from your side?"

Elodie walked past me and went straight to the room behind the kitchen. She took a look inside and said, "Wow... Why is it that Nuoer, such a cute girl, your personal belongings in the room don't have any girlish atmosphere at all?"

I told the truth: "Poor."

“Don’t you even have basic skin care products?”

After looking around the room, Elodie came to the bathroom again and looked at the bottles of shower gel and shampoo I had just put out there: "What are you using?"

"This is already a very expensive brand in the supermarket."

I, who was at the back, said aggrievedly: "They are all new, just bought not long ago."

"No skincare products... Where's your body lotion?"

"what?"

I was dumbfounded: "What body lotion?"

"this."

Elodie took an exquisite bottle from the shelf next to the bathroom. "Apply it on your body after bathing to maintain your skin."

I shook my head: "I have never used this."

"Tsk..."

Putting the bottle back in its place, Elodie walked out of the bathroom and said, "You and Xiaomo are exactly the same. You don't take a good shower, and as a girl, you don't have any makeup or skin care products. I don't know how you two can have such good skin without taking care of it."

The Death Girl and I looked at each other and saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.

"Don't use those shampoos and shower gels of yours. Using those shampoos on such beautiful hair will damage it."

With that, Elodie trotted towards the stairs and went upstairs: "Wait for me a moment."

Amid the sound of "da da da da" climbing the stairs, I heard Elodi seemed to go to the bathroom on the second floor. When she appeared again, the girl had a pile of bottles and jars in her arms.

"This is the shower gel, this is the shampoo, and this is the conditioner. Use the conditioner after you wash your hair with the shampoo."

Pulling me into the bathroom, Elodie put bottles of brands I couldn't name on the shelf: "There is also body lotion. You and Xiaomo know each other, so use hers tonight. Body lotion is applied to the body after taking a bath to maintain the skin. Don't forget to rinse it off after applying it."

Seeing Elodie's look of "a mother educating her daughter", I felt even more embarrassed: "Mr. Editor, this..."

"Call me Sister Ai. I'm talking to you as a senior now. I really can't stand seeing girls not cherishing themselves like this."

Elodie interrupted me and picked up a few more bottles: "This is an exfoliator, this is a face cream, this is an eye cream, and this is a toner. You can look up the specific instructions online one by one. I guess neither of you can remember what I'm saying here."

"And this, sunscreen. Although the weather has been good recently and the sun is not strong, it will be summer after the rainstorm. It should be useful. Unscrew the cap and apply it on your face..."

Uh……

Are girls really so troublesome?

For a moment I didn’t know how to reject Elodie’s kindness, so I subconsciously said, “Editor… Well, Sister Ai, you gave all these to us, what about you?”

"I've taken a shower and done my skincare routine, and will be going to bed soon. I have to buy a bowl tomorrow before work anyway, so I can just buy a new one if I pass by a cosmetics store."

After putting all the things she had brought down on the shelf in the bathroom, Elodie came and stood in front of me.

I felt a little guilty: "What's wrong?"

The girl in front of me leaned down slightly, stretched out her hands, grasped both sides of my face, and pinched it.

I cried out in pain: "Ouch——"

"envy."

Elodie loosened her grip.

I was stunned: "Huh?"

"I'm jealous of you two, you have such nice skin, hum."

Elodie walked between Yin Xiamo and me without even turning her head: "I'm going to bed, both of you don't make too much noise."

"Oh……"

Watching Elodie go upstairs, I deliberately looked over her face and found that the Death Girl Yin Xiamo was also looking at me.

"In another world...there are no such weird things."

As I stared at her, Yin Xiamo scratched her face and said, "Any wound or aging can be healed with magic."

"But this is the real world."

I was curious: "Can your magic... cover the entire process?"

"No."

The girl shook her head: "It's such a waste to use magic for beauty treatments."

"So let's just live like ordinary people here."

I gestured to the bathroom: "Do you want to shower first or should I?"

"I...ah, that's not right."

As if she remembered something, the Death Girl walked towards her room guiltily: "Well, I have some personal matters to attend to... Can you take a shower first?"

"I still have to tidy up the kitchen and the room. It will probably take another ten to twenty minutes."

I asked curiously, "Are you sure you don't want to wash first? I might need to wash in there for a long time later."

"It's okay. You have to go to work at eight tomorrow and I'm at nine. You go first."

The girl went straight into her room: "I...I'm fine, I...I still need to check out the new phone, yes, the new phone."

What weird thing is this guy thinking about?

Although I was very confused, I thought that since the other party had said so, there was no point in "giving in", so I went back to the kitchen and started to organize the things I had moved in one by one.

The rice cooker is here, the frying pan is here, the oven is here, and then there is rice, grains, sweet potatoes, corn, and eggs...

The kitchen is nearly three times bigger than the one in my small apartment, which makes me very happy just organizing things in it.

You no longer have to stand on a small stool to cook, you no longer have to be short of space for your hands and feet, and you no longer have to use the rice cooker as a soup-making tool!

With so many tools and this big kitchen, I can probably save more than twice the time when cooking next time.

"Whoosh..."

After organizing the various appliances in the kitchen and finishing the cleaning, I returned to my bedroom and began to sort out the things I had moved in and make the bed.
