Problem Girls Strategy

It's so easy to fool.

Jiang Zao suppressed his smile and watched her leave.

When Huihui returned to the room with the water, she saw Jiang Zao sitting on the bed contentedly looking through the monster encyclopedia. She immediately realized that she had been deceived by him. The headache and thirst were all fake and were just excuses to divert her attention.

Calm down, calm down, he is a patient and I am responsible for taking care of him. I can't beat him up on impulse.

Hui Hui walked over with a water bottle and a fake smile: “The water you asked for.”

"Thank you." Jiang Zao closed the book and put it aside, took the cup and drank it all, then returned the cup: "Please go out for a moment."

“Why should I listen to you and go out obediently?” Huihui put the cup on the table, pulled a stool over and sat down angrily: “I won’t go out!”

"You won't go out no matter what I do?"

"I definitely won't go out."

"Okay, I'm going to change my clothes. If you don't want to go out, then turn around." Jiang Zao reminded him and started to take off his pajamas.

No, are you serious?!

Huihui thought Jiang Zao was joking with him, but he really started to change clothes in front of her. It was impossible for her to turn around because her movements were too big and she didn't have enough time, so she had to grab the edge of her magic hat and pull it down to completely block her view in front of her.

Although it was dark in front of her eyes, the rustling sound of changing clothes could still clearly penetrate the hat and reach Huihui's ears. The temperature of her cheeks gradually rose and her heartbeat also accelerated inadvertently.

It was a short half minute, but it felt as long as half a lifetime. If Jiang Zao hadn't said that she had changed her clothes, she felt that the magic hat would even be ignited by the seemingly unlimited temperature of her cheeks.

“Do you always change clothes in front of Kokoro without any scruples?” Huihui covered her blushing face with her hat and complained in a low voice.

"I'll tell Kokoro that I need to change clothes, and then she'll leave the bedroom. It was you who said you wouldn't go out no matter what, so you can't blame me."

"Don't you have any sense of shame?"

Jiang Zao glanced at Hui Hui who was holding her hat and not daring to look up: "You even stayed in the room when I was changing clothes, and now you ask me if I have any shame?"

Huihui was speechless.

"It's been almost a week since I defeated the Sand Scorpion King. My mental overdraft has healed and I no longer need anyone's care. So I'm sorry..." Jiang Zao patted Hui Hui's shoulder and said, "You're out of work."

“Tsk, it’s like I want to take care of you.” Huihui snorted and brushed off the hand on her shoulder. Before leaving, she turned back to confirm: “Are you really fully recovered from your injuries?”

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

"It's not that I care about you, it's to tell Kokoro!"

Jiang Zao nodded to show his understanding.

Tsundere people like to say this.

After washing up, he walked out of the bedroom and saw Huihui preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Her housework and cooking skills were completely different from usual, which surprised Kokoro and Kailu at first.

Before, they only knew that Huihui could help Jiang Zao in the kitchen, and they didn't know how good her cooking skills were. If the two chefs in the family hadn't been bedridden, it was unknown when the fact that her cooking skills were not bad would have been exposed to the two of them.

The magic hat and the cloak that was inconvenient for cooking were put aside. Huihui even tied a small ponytail at the back of her head. Her hair was obviously not to the point where it needed to be tied up, and no one knew what the meaning of this action was.

"Mei Hui, what do you want for breakfast? Also, why do you tie your hair up?"

"For breakfast, I'll have a fried egg and ham sandwich..." Huihui scooped the fried egg out of the pan and put it on the bread, then turned around and smiled and said, "I read in a book that girls will look different if they tie their hair when cooking. What do you think?"

"What kind of weird books do you usually read?" Jiang Zao looked at her carefully and commented: "You really give people a different impression than usual."

"Oh? How do I normally feel, and how do I feel now?"

Jiang Zao pinched his chin and thought for a while, then slowly said: "Usually you are like a humanoid mobile explosive magic launcher. If you don't launch on time, you will explode on the spot. Now... you look like a virtuous explosive magic launcher?"

Hui Hui held the sandwich in her hand. She expressionlessly used it to force Jiang Zao's mouth, which was unable to utter a single good word, and said coldly, "You have finished your breakfast. Go away and don't bother me."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Please leave the kitchen immediately!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited. There's still oil on the spatula." Jiang Zao smiled awkwardly and walked away from the shiny black spatula. It's better not to tease the girl too much when facing a girl who has physical weapons in her hands.

Kael should not be awake yet at this time, so go find Kokoro and take out her void weapon to study the healing magic.

With a clear goal in mind, Jiang Zao walked to Pekolim's bedroom and knocked on the door: "Kokoro, can I come in now?"

"Master, please wait a moment. I am helping Pekolim get dressed."

"Oh, then you're busy."

Not long after, Kokoro helped the patient out of the bedroom. Pekolim's injuries had improved a lot through healing magic and rest, and only her hands had not yet healed.

When Hui Hui saw Kokoro coming out, she immediately called out, “Kokoro, come over here and help me taste the soup.”

"I'll be right there, Master. Pekorim hasn't brushed her teeth yet, so I'm sorry to bother you."

"Hey! Wait... Kokoro!"

"Leave it to me." Jiang Zao smiled and held down the bewildered Pekolim: "Come on, I'll help you brush your teeth."

Chapter 248 Brushing Teeth PLAY

Pekolim stared at Jiang Zao with her big watery blue eyes and begged, "Jiang Zao...can you let me brush my teeth by myself..."

Jiang Zao looked at her hands wrapped like Doraemon and laughed in his heart: "So you are not only a big eater, but also a blue fat man?"

"What blue fat man? I'm not fat at all!" Even someone as good-tempered as her would get angry when someone called her fat, and she would pout and glare at him coquettishly.

"Then tell me, how can you brush your teeth with your hands wrapped like this?"

"There will always be a way..."

"We'll have breakfast soon. Do you want to watch us eat?"

"...brush my teeth...please..." Between eating and the shame of having a boy brush her teeth, Pekolim chose the former, while constantly preparing herself mentally.

It’s okay. When Huihui first started brushing my teeth, I was just a little uncomfortable. The same thing happened after Kokoro changed to her. Now it won’t be any different if Jiang Zao changes to her.

"Come on, let's go brush our teeth."

"Uh-huh."

Pekolim lowered her head like a well-behaved young wife and let Jiang Zao lead her to the sink.

Jiang Zao picked up a small branch and broke off a small section, then smeared the emerald green semi-solid gel that came out of the broken end on Pekorim's pink toothbrush. This thing called cleaning branch is the mint toothpaste on the continent of Astraea.

Fill a cup with water and let Pekolim moisten her mouth with saliva, then soak the toothbrush and toothpaste in the water. Jiang Zao pinched her chin with his left hand and said, "Come on, open your mouth."

“Ah…Ah~”

"Your mouth is less than a centimeter open. Open it wider."

Pekolim closed her eyes and tried her best to open her mouth, but unfortunately in Jiang Zao's view, she only opened her mouth a little bit and was still far from showing her teeth.

"Well, I'll do it myself."

Jiang Zao sighed, and moved the hand that was pinching Pekolim's chin up. He pinched her entire cheek with his broad palm and then applied a little force. The originally "I"-shaped mouth immediately became an "O" shape.

The pure white teeth and the pink tongue hiding behind it, moving around aimlessly, finally revealed their true appearance in front of him.

What did I eat last night?

Sweet fruit? Crunchy potato chips?

It's not garlic bread! ?

Hmm... If I had known, I wouldn't have let Jiang Zao brush my teeth. There should be no bad smell in my mouth, right?

The bristles of the toothbrush gently stroked her teeth, causing Pekolim to shudder. She had never felt her teeth so sensitive before. Every bristle of the toothbrush seemed to be brushing against the nerves in her brain, leaving her no time to think about what she had eaten yesterday.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

"No, no..."

"That's good."

Jiang Zao has plenty of experience in brushing people's teeth. He has brushed the teeth of Goto Ichiri, Irisu Shina, Kazama Ikki and Nymph, and has never received a bad review.

As a foodie, teeth are naturally of utmost importance to Pekolim. Without good teeth, how can she enjoy countless delicacies? So Jiang Zao put all his effort into brushing her teeth.

The friction between the toothbrush and teeth produced delicate white foam, which gradually filled the entire mouth. An indescribable strange feeling extended along the teeth to Pekolim's entire body.

It's like soaking in a comfortable hot spring, where the warm current makes every cell in the body relax and cheer, or like the numbness of the special spice Sichuan pepper flowing through the body.

The wonderful feeling made her legs a little weak, and her breathing unconsciously became heavier and faster. Her eyes, which were originally tightly closed, quietly revealed a slit, and she looked at Jiang Zao's serious face through her fine eyelashes.

Is he this tall?

As far as Pekolim could remember, this was probably the first time she had been so close to Jiang Zao, and also the first time she had observed him like this.

From the perspective of guild companions, he has multiple professions, can be close or far away, and has a portable storage space with almost unlimited capacity. He is methodical, calm in the face of crisis, and cares deeply about his companions. It is said that after she was seriously injured and unconscious by the Sand Scorpion King, her angry roar even scared the other companions.

From a friend's perspective, Jiang Zao never asks about unnecessary things, and even when meeting for the first time, he always keeps enough distance to make people feel relaxed and at ease. He likes food as much as himself, and his cooking skills are impeccable. Although his personality becomes full of mischief when facing Kael and Huihui, they have never said that they are tired of him.

Pekorim thought that he was affected by Megumin's explosive magic and accidentally fell into the lake to meet her, and then they naturally became friends, formed a guild and started their adventure. It seemed as if there was a thread connecting them together.

Maybe this is what is called fate.

Jiang Zao was a little confused when he saw Pekolim suddenly open her eyes and stare at him with a smile.

Weren't you too shy to even look at it before? How come you suddenly understood?

Although he was confused, he did not stop what he was doing. After brushing all her teeth carefully, he held the cup of water to her mouth and said, "That's enough. Rinse your mouth with water."

"Gurgle gurgle~Puff~"

After repeating the rinsing several times, Jiang Zao looked at Pekolim's sparkling white teeth and nodded: "Well, it's clean, next wash your face."

Pushing aside a few strands of wet hair on her forehead, she gently wiped Pekolim's face with the moisture-covered towel. Even through the towel, the elastic and tender touch like pudding could reach Jiang Zao's fingertips.

Seeing that his skillful movements didn't seem like his first time taking care of someone, Pekolim couldn't help but ask curiously, "Jiang Zao, have you often taken care of people before?"

"Rather than taking care of her, it's more like supervision..." Jiang Zao felt a headache when he thought of Gabriel, the problem child: "If I don't take care of her, I'm afraid she will not go out for several months and live in a garbage dump."

"Ahahaha... Is it that serious?"

Not going out for a few months is not a big deal. After all, Pekolim heard that it is normal for magicians not to go out for several years. But living in a garbage dump is too shocking.

"I tell you, she wishes she could let me take care of everything except gaming time..." Jiang Zao chattered on and on about Gabriel like an old mother, but there was no sign of annoyance on her face. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying it.

Pekolimu pulled his sleeve and said, "Um... before my injury heals, could you please brush my teeth and wash my face for me? It's not convenient for Huihui and Kokoro..."

"That's right. You're the tallest among the girls. If Kokoro wants to brush your teeth for you, she should move a small stool to support her feet, right?"

"Well, is that okay?"

"No problem." Jiang Zao took on the task without any pressure.

Chapter 249: Moving the Blood Fountain?

After Jiang Zao took over the job of brushing Pekolim's teeth, he didn't think about the fact that he had to brush her teeth and wash her face anyway, so he simply took on the entire task of taking care of her.

Not to mention whether Huihui and Kokoro would agree, he couldn't even help people take a bath. Huihui might even judge him as a "big pudding" who was peeping at Pekorim and cause trouble for him.

The resentment of flat-breasted girls against big-breasted girls is not so easy to eliminate, and Jiang Zao does not want to be involved in this endless struggle.

After breakfast, Pekorim went back to her room to rest. He drew out Kokoro's void to study healing magic.

Jiang Zao crossed his legs and placed the void weapon horizontally. The ball of light containing the breath of life sank into his body. Unlike the light balls formed by ordinary light elements, the light element only accounted for about one-third of the healing magic. The rest of the special substance rich in vitality was a strange existence that he had never noticed before.

Could it be that in addition to the eight elements of light, darkness, water, fire, earth, thunder, ice and wind, there is also a life element unique to healing magic?

If it's an element, I should be able to sense it.

No matter how Jiang Zao tried, apart from the special substances contained in the healing magic condensed by Kokoro's void weapon, he did not sense anything similar in the air, which made him more confused.

It happened that Huihui and Kailu, two magicians, were there, and Jiang Zao called them: "Kailu, Huihui, I have some questions about healing magic that I want to ask you."

"Healing magic? I'm not proficient in this kind of magic, so I can't answer." Kailu is good at attack and control magic, and can't provide help: "What about Huihui? I see that you are very familiar with a lot of magic, so you should know something, right?"

“Well…” Huihui scratched her cheek in confusion.

She did understand some principles of healing magic, but she only knew a few basics. Her love for explosion magic made her pay little attention to magic other than attack magic in class, because explosion magic was often compared with the power of other attack magic.

"I only know that healing magic is different from ordinary magic. It contains a unique life force. In ancient times, light magic was not even a support magic, but an attack magic."

"It was only later that healing magic was developed, and because of its gentle nature, it gradually shifted towards support magic."

"You are just introducing history. It has no reference value at all."
