Problem Girls Strategy

Kokoro agreed: "This is not even recorded in the books. It's really incredible."

“That kind of lake is the public enemy of women!”

Seeing Kailu's indignation, Huihui asked her: "Why don't you blow up the lake?"

"Are you stupid? What if the water from this lake pollutes other lakes? You can't let others go through this."

Jiang Zao took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes: "Kailu is so gentle, she really is, I am crying to death."

Hui Hui followed suit: "She really did it. I cried my heart out!"

"I say, have you two been getting more and more in sync lately..." Kailu clenched her fists with a fake smile: "Compared to the lake, you two should be blown up by me, right?"

“Meihui did it first!”

"Yes, it's me... Wait, you were the one who said it first, but you put it on me. Are you still a man?"

"Of course it was you who suggested blowing up the lake!"

"Are you kidding me? Eat my roaring wrath of pitch-black thunder!"

"It's so funny, isn't it just kicking someone?" Jiang Zao dodged the attack by leaning sideways, and didn't forget to taunt the other party: "I can't even kick people, you should see my move - the roc spreads its wings!"

"You're just reaching out to grab someone. You're not that strong!"

The two people who were in perfect harmony with each other in Kael's words started fighting in the blink of an eye. They confronted each other with different moves and kept giving them names that they thought were cool.

"Really... isn't that stupid?"

"It's good for the two of them to be like this." Pekolim looked at the two of them with a smile. If she hadn't been paying attention to the grilled fish on the campfire, she would have stood up and joined them.

“Yes, this is the unique way that Master and Huihui get along with each other.”

Kailu snorted lightly. Even though she expressed her disgust, her tail still wagged slowly in the joyful atmosphere between the two of them. She didn't hate this lively and warm scene.

As the bonfire fell silent, everyone returned to the capsule house to sleep after their grilled fish dinner, and received a huge surprise the next morning.

The lake that had melted the clothes disappeared, and in its place grew an emerald green glass flower.

"I... am I seeing right?"

"This is the spring water glass flower..."

Rather than being surprised, Jiang Zao was more concerned about another thing, which was whether the appearance of this flower was related to the clothes that dissolved yesterday.

Could it be that...the triggering condition of the syrup spring is to dissolve clothes? This is too indecent.

Gradually, thick mist began to rise all around. The original large and small lakes disappeared in the mist, and a tiny spring emerged from the glass lace of the spring water, from which clear syrup continuously gushed out.

The crowd didn't bother to observe this magical scene. They took the clay jars from Jiang Zao and ran straight to the target. Because they didn't know if they would have another chance to find the spring in the future, they used all the remaining clay jars to store spring water syrup.

Even if all the clay pots are used up, the spring will still gush out syrup, it seems.

When a bright golden light shot into the mist, the glass flowers in the spring withered instantly, and then disappeared along with the spring. The sunlight dispersed the mist, and the surrounding scenery returned to its previous appearance.

Jiang Zao took another piece of clothing and threw it into the lake, but this time it would not dissolve.

"It seems that the appearance of the spring is really related to the dissolution of clothes."

"Jiang Zao, don't worry about the conditions for its appearance, just go back and make Coke!" Huihui dragged him into the capsule house. She hadn't had Coke for a long time and she felt like ants were crawling all over her body.

"Ah."

Back in the house, Jiang Zao took out the three most critical raw materials: tremor leaves, foam lemon, and high-pressure vines, and then took out the special tools he designed specifically for making Coke.

It was a large iron kettle that looked like a wine barrel, had a faucet, a round socket on the top, and was placed on a round tripod.

This iron kettle was designed and made by him using magic after analyzing three kinds of raw materials. All he had to do was put the trembling leaves and cut foam lemons into the iron kettle, add water, cover the lid tightly, and then insert the high-pressure vine into the socket. He would then see the entire iron kettle vibrate slightly, and then wait for half an hour before the initial version of the carbonated beverage was made.

If you ask a blacksmith to make it custom, it probably won't be able to withstand the vibration and impact force generated by the vibrating leaves and high-pressure vines. Even though the high-pressure vines are as thick as ordinary chopsticks, the impact force they release can directly penetrate a two-finger-wide wooden board.

Chapter 296 Listen to the sound of hi

Jiang Zao tightened the faucet on the iron kettle, first took out a small piece of honey spider silk and put it in, then added trembling leaves and foam lemon, covered the lid and inserted the high-pressure vine. Seeing that the iron kettle began to tremble slightly, he let go of his hand and sat back on the sofa.

After obtaining these special ingredients with extremely high sugar content, he tasted the sweetness of each of them. He could only say that they were worthy of being special ingredients. Take the honey spider silk for example. Eating about one centimeter of spider silk into the mouth was like drinking more than ten kilograms of concentrated sugar water in one breath, and the tongue was so sweet that it turned bitter.

As if he recalled the taste that was about to drive up people's blood sugar levels, Jiang Zao's face turned dark and he subconsciously picked up the cup and drank a full glass of water.

"Are you really only going to add this little bit of honey spider silk? Would you consider adding something else?"

"I think the sweetness is enough. Let's see how this combination works. There are too many raw materials, and it will be more troublesome to mass produce them."

Hui Hui couldn't lie on Jiang Zao's legs and throw a tantrum because there were other people watching, so she pulled over a chair and sat down on it, grabbing the back of the chair with both hands and rocking it back and forth impatiently: "Ahhhh~ Why do we have to wait another half an hour? I want to drink a Coke now!"

"Hui Hui, please be patient. Do you want me to tell you some stories about the elves?"

"It's not impossible."

"Then sit still and don't make the chair creak."

“Oh.” Huihui stopped shaking and looked at Kokoro with anticipation in her red eyes.

Kailu was not interested in carbonated drinks, nor did she want to listen to the elves' flowery stories. She stretched her body and said, "I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while. Call me when it's time for dinner."

"Okay, go to bed." Jiang Zao nodded at her, then retracted his gaze and continued to stare at the big iron kettle.

Pekolim was in the room, holding the photos that Jiang Zao had taken with her personal terminal, filling in the blank pages in the monster ingredient encyclopedia.

Perhaps it was because Kokoro's voice was too gentle, and the story of the elves was too long and complicated, Huihui, who was listening to the story attentively, did not fall asleep, while Jiang Zao fell asleep leaning on the sofa.

Megumin's eyes lit up when she noticed that he was asleep. A mischievous smile just appeared on her face, but before she could turn her thoughts into actions, Kokoro called her back, "It's better not to wake up the master. He has been coming out of your room very late recently. He must be sleep deprived."

"..." Huihui couldn't laugh anymore this time. Facing those pure light pink pupils, she felt like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake. She sat there stiffly, not moving at all, not daring to even breathe.

She forced out an expression that was uglier than crying: "How...how did you know..."

"As a guide, whether the master gets enough sleep every day is also something I need to pay attention to."

"Ahahaha...you are really dedicated to your job...uh...if there is nothing else, I will leave first. Wait...when the Coke is ready, just call me down."

"Hui Hui, wait a moment. I know you and the master have just tasted the forbidden fruit and are enjoying it, but doing it too frequently will affect the master's health, so I hope you won't cooperate with him too much."

Hui Hui never expected that Kokoro would bring up the topic so bluntly. She immediately broke out in a sweat. However, there was one thing she needed to clarify: "I...I didn't do that kind of thing with Jiang Zao!"

"Huh? Then why were you screaming in the room..." Kokoro hurriedly covered her mouth, but unfortunately what she said had already completely exposed what she had done.

She...she actually overheard it!

Huihui felt that the stocking on her left leg was about to be torn by her toes. Her red face was spewing steam like a steam locomotive. Her mind was a mess and she didn't know how to face this companion who was eavesdropping.

Tears of shame welled up in her eyes, her teeth left marks on her lips, and she stammered, "In short...in short...he and I...are not what you think...although we did do some things...but...I guarantee that there is nothing wrong with his body."

"Is...is that so? Sorry, I misunderstood you." Kokoro was a little at a loss. She didn't expect that the facts were completely different from her guess.

After a long silence, Hui Hui rubbed her face vigorously to calm down her emotions and said to her seriously, "Jiang Zao told me that he needs to deal with something. Before this matter is dealt with, his relationship with me will not change much. Kokoro, you are his exclusive guide. Do you know the specific content of the matter he mentioned?"

"I don't know... If it was a mission to destroy the Demon King, it would have had nothing to do with the Master long ago."

"That's it..."

"Don't be so disappointed. Since the master already understands your feelings, he will definitely not let you wait too long."

“Yeah.” Huihui nodded gently and looked at Jiang Zao who was sleeping soundly, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowing: “In fact, I don’t mind if we maintain this kind of relationship forever. I have been very happy since I met him, but... sometimes I also fantasize about being able to loudly announce to everyone, ‘Look, this is my great magician Huihui’s unique and most beloved lover!’”

“That must be a very happy scene.” Although Kokoro is an elf with dull emotions, she can still feel the passionate emotions in Huihui’s words.

"Huh, it feels like this bastard's attitude towards you is completely different from his attitude towards the three of us."

"really?"

"Didn't you notice it yourself... Never mind, you're an elf, it's normal that you didn't notice it." Huihui asked Jiang Zao what she thought of the other girls in the Food Hall.

In his answer, Kokoro is the only person with whom the development of the relationship will not be restricted.

Maybe it has something to do with her status as an exclusive guide.

This was her guess. Perhaps even Jiang Zao did not expect at the beginning that her relationship with him, a middle school magician, would develop the fastest.

"Then I have to pay more attention to my master's behavior in the future. I didn't know that he cared so much about me, which is unworthy of his status as an exclusive guide."

Rather than having a personal guide, he would rather have you become what he calls a "family member".

Huihui did not tell Kokoro about Jiang Zao's real intention. Even if she did, she would probably think she was joking. The long-lived race was so unrealistically slow in emotions.

As the big iron kettle stopped vibrating, Kokoro woke Jiang Zao up. Looking at the two of them whose positions had not changed at all, he had no idea that an incident of eavesdropping had just happened that was enough to make him become autistic again.

Holding the cup and walking to the faucet of the iron kettle, Jiang Zao turned on the switch, and the clear carbonated drink sprayed into the cup with a lot of bubbles. Recalling the sour taste at the beginning, he raised the cup to his mouth and hesitated for a while, then made up his mind and drank it in a big gulp.

Huihui stared at his Adam's apple moving up and down nervously: "How is it? Did it work?"

“I didn’t make Coke, but… I made Sprite.”

Chapter 297 Coke and Commission

"Sprite, what is that?"

Seeing that Jiang Zao had a complicated expression and was hesitant to reply, Huihui walked up to him, snatched the cup from his hand, and gulped down the remaining drink in two gulps. Anyway, Kokoro already knew that they were having an affair, so there was no need to hide this little thing.

She smacked her lips twice, raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, "It feels like... another drink similar to Coke?"

"It's not impossible if you say so." Jiang Zao took the cup back from Hui Hui and looked at her in surprise. He didn't understand why she was so bold as to share a cup with him in front of Kokoro without any scruples: "How do you think it tastes?"

"Hmm...it's OK, but I personally prefer Coke."

"Then I'll try the other two materials."

"Pour out all the Sprite in here first. It can be used as a substitute for Coke to temporarily satisfy my craving."

"Ah."

After that, Jiang Zao added rainbow hen eggs and spring water syrup into the mixture, and the final result was still Sprite. Just when he was struggling on how to make Coke, Pekolim, who had finished writing the illustrations, came out of the room. Seeing him sitting in front of a few drinks with a sad face, she took the initiative to ask him the reason.

After understanding the current problem, she suggested that Jiang Zao try adding maple syrup collected from the tri-color sugar maple tree. So Jiang Zao added burgundy, blue and gold maple syrups as seasoning ingredients.

The results were very gratifying. The drink with burgundy maple syrup was successfully made into cola, the one with golden maple syrup became orange-flavored sparkling water, and the one with blue maple syrup became cherry-flavored cola, which made Jiang Zao's face twisted when he tasted it.

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Zao mixed the three special ingredients together, and then increased the amount of the other three raw materials and burgundy maple syrup and put them into a large iron pot for preparation.

I don't know if it was because the sugar content was too high, but what eventually flowed out of the iron faucet was thick cola juice. According to experiments, this juice can be diluted with ice water to make one ton of cola. At least Jiang Zao's storage space has reserved a cubic meter of space filled with cola.

Huihui drank until she was full and smiled so hard that the corners of her mouth were crooked.

The production of Coke was completed, and this long adventure in the Food Palace came to a successful conclusion, because he was in a hurry to go back to promote Coke, and also to start preparing to find out the news of "What Towards Death".

After obtaining consent from the others, Jiang Zao drew out Kokoro's Void to release [Protection of Light] to everyone to increase their speed, and hurried back to Landsol.

Returning to the guild hut they hadn't seen for a long time, Kailu rolled up her sleeves and prepared to clean up with the other girls. Jiang Zao wanted to help, but was chased away by her with "Don't you have other things to do? Don't get in the way here, hurry up."

"Thank you, Kailu. I'll treat you to something delicious later."

"I'm not asking you to treat me!"

"Got it, clean-minded Lady Kailu."

"I told you not to call me that!"

After teasing Kael as usual, Jiang Zao left home. The first thing he had to do was to promote Coke, and he also delivered the letter that Huihui needed to send back to the Adventurer's Guild.

Jiang Zao already had a plan in mind on how to promote Coke. The restaurant "Wild Food Shop" was a very good partner. The dishes in the restaurant were mostly meat-based, and the drinks they usually provided were also mainly for relieving greasiness and refreshing.

Not to mention that the restaurant is also very famous in the royal city and has a good relationship with the Food Palace. As an initial promotion location, it can be said to be excellent in all aspects.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the "Wild Food Shop", Jiang Zao greeted the boss behind the stove: "Hey, boss, if you're not busy later, can I discuss something with you?"

"No problem, just find an empty seat and wait." The boss spoke as concisely as ever.

When he was done, he came over and sat down opposite Jiang Zao with an unlit cigar in his mouth: "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Snap!" Jiang Zao snapped his fingers and controlled the fire element to light his cigar.

"Hey...what are you doing?"

"Boss, you don't have to put out your cigarette. You can still smoke when you're alone with me."

"Fu~Okay, continue with your story."

"That's natural. Try this drink first."

The boss frowned at the bubbling black liquid in the glass bottle: "Is this the same strange drink from before?"

"As expected of the boss, you can tell right away. But this is an improved one, so it definitely won't taste as bad as the original."
