In the time loop, I do whatever I want

Nino Nakano greeted her first, then complained to Makoto Fushimi, "So you haven't gone home yet? You suddenly messaged me to come over, and I thought you were anxiously waiting for me, so I hurriedly made dinner for Miku and the others. But when I arrived, you were still on your way to buy groceries."

Yukino also said in a helpless tone, "When he messaged me, he told me to come over quickly, saying that he had something important to discuss and that he wanted me to experience authentic Chinese mala tang."

"So dinner is mala tang?" Nakano Nino perked up. "I've heard my classmates mention it. It's quite popular in Ikebukuro, but I've never tried it."

"Wait, you received the message too." Shiyu finally couldn't help but interrupt.

Yukino and Nino Nakano looked over at the same time: "What else?"

Shiyu turned her head in surprise, staring at Fushimi Makoto's face and asked, "So, you invited three girls to your house for dinner today?"

“It’s not just about dinner; I have something important to discuss with you.” Makoto Fushimi said, then added, “To be precise, I also invited Ichika, but she has to film a movie and can’t get away.”

Shi Yu's feelings suddenly became complicated.

I was basking in my own cleverness, and I was even happy that Eriri "created an opportunity for me," but in the end, this wasn't the romantic time I wanted at all!

However, since Fushimi Makoto said he had important business to attend to, she put aside those distracting thoughts and tried to calm herself down: "Since you're still out buying groceries, you shouldn't have messaged Yukinoshita and the others so early. It doesn't feel like your style to have them wait for you at the door."

Fushimi Makoto asked Yukino and the other person with some doubt, "I remember when I sent you a message I said the door wasn't locked and you could come in and sit down."

Nino Nakano pouted: "I would like to go in, but Yukinoshita insists that since you, the host, are not home, we guests should not go in without permission."

"Please note, I just told you that I wouldn't go in by myself; I didn't ask you to wait at the door," Yukino corrected.

Nino Nakano rolled her eyes: "If you wait outside and I go in alone, wouldn't that make me look bad compared to you?"

Yukino seemed to be disgusted and shook her head: "That's why I prefer spending time with Yotsuba and Itsuki."

Nakano Nino retorted angrily, "What do you mean?"

"Alright, if you want to argue, go inside and do it here," Fushimi Makoto interrupted the two.

He had actually anticipated that Nino and Yukino's less-than-pleasant way of getting along would happen.

Nino is now a staunch supporter of Ichika, and Ichika has said more than once that her greatest rival in life is Yukino.

As a result, Nino Nakano would subconsciously add a sense of hostility whenever she faced Yukino.

However, this time it was his oversight; he didn't expect the two to arrive so quickly.

You see, he didn't even go home after leaving school, he went straight to buy groceries, and he thought Yukino and the other two would come back later than him.

The three beautiful girls changed their shoes and came into the house to sit down. Fushimi Makoto cut fruit for them and brought them tea before going over to tie on his apron: "I'll cook first, and we can chat while we eat."

"Sure, but I'd like to get a book from your room." Yukino was still caught up in her own thoughts.

"Just take whatever you want. I've already read most of the books on the shelf and taken some notes," Fushimi Makoto waved his hand.

Upon hearing the word "notes," Yukino's beautiful eyes lit up.

As she entered the bedroom, Fushimi Seiya went to the kitchen.

Shiyu glanced at Nakano Nino, who was playing on her phone, and a thought struck her: "Nino-kun, do you know why he contacted us?"

Nino Nakano seemed surprised that the other party would reach out to her. After a moment's hesitation, she replied, "I don't know either. At first, I thought he was going to discuss future tutoring plans with me, but he also invited you and Yukinoshita, so I can't be sure."

"Could it be related to tomorrow's speech?" Shiyu asked subconsciously.

Nino Nakano laughed and said, "That's obviously impossible. Giving a speech is very easy for him; you could even say it comes naturally to him."

She then recounted an amusing anecdote about Makoto Fushimi's speech during the filming of his first short film.

At that time, she wasn't helping out on set yet, but because Ichika was the lead actress, she would often bring homemade meals to visit the set, and she was also encouraged by Makoto Fushimi's speeches.

"I see."

Shiyu nodded slightly; she couldn't guess what Fushimi Makoto was thinking either.

After a while, she noticed that Nino Nakano seemed to be peeking at her. When she looked up, Nino was looking down at her phone, as if nothing had happened.

"You have something to say to me?" Shi Yu asked bluntly.

Nino Nakano blushed slightly, and she put down her phone as if feeling guilty, her gaze lingering several times on Utaha's beautiful legs in stockings.

This time, Shiyu noticed it clearly, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you staring at my legs?"

"Um, Shiyu-senpai, may I call you that...? I'm curious, how do your pantyhose feel? Do they feel tight around your legs? Are they comfortable to walk in?"

"Ok?"

Shi Yu was taken aback; she hadn't expected the other person to ask that.

Pretending not to notice the glint in Nino Nakano's eyes, she asked, "I remember Miku-san also likes to wear this. Didn't you ask her?"

"I asked her, but my relationship with her is a bit strange. Every time I chat with her for a few words, we start arguing," Nino Nakano muttered discontentedly.

Shi Yu smiled faintly: "Personally, I feel that wearing them is quite comfortable and doesn't affect my walking. Of course, if you want to run, then you definitely can't wear them."

"I see, thank you for your explanation."

Nino Nakano said something politely, then fell into deep thought.

Shi Yu stared at her face for a few seconds, and seeing that she was completely distracted, she seized the opportunity to ask abruptly, "You want to wear black stockings for that guy to see?"

"Huh? No, Shiyu-senpai, you're overthinking it." Nakano Nino blushed and denied it hastily.

Shi Yu remained expressionless.

Sure enough, hitting the bullseye when others aren't looking is the most practical move.

She was certain that Nino Nakano wanted to wear black stockings to show Makoto Fushimi.

But she didn't press the matter further.

Just then, Yukino came out carrying two books, and Utaha immediately said, "If Nino is still struggling with this, why not try wearing stockings like Yukinoshita does?"

Yukino frowned: "Don't drag me into your business."

She overheard the two men talking about black stockings inside the house.

This is so boring.

Nino Nakano didn't pay attention to the topic; she had already worn stockings before.

On the contrary, the kind of thin black stockings that Shiwa wore, which vaguely revealed her fair skin, was something that Nakano Nino had never actually worn.

Once Yukino sat down, Utaha's urge to cause trouble began to stir.

Perhaps it's just like what Makoto Fushimi once joked with her: "Beautiful girls with long, straight black hair are attracted to each other."

"Senior, I sensed something rude in your eyes. If you have something to say, please just say it. I haven't started reading yet, so I can chat with you."

Yukino's calm eyes swept over, and she noticed Shiho's emotional change almost immediately.

Nino Nakano blinked. Was this the war between top-performing girls that Ichika had mentioned before?

She was itching to watch the drama unfold.

Shiyu calmly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled meaningfully: "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I've never seen the complete form of a catgirl before."

She was referring to Yukino's catgirl outfit.

So far, she has only ever seen Yukino wearing cat ears and looking adorable.

Yukino's lips curled up into a cold laugh: "Is that so? Then I've seen more sights than you, senpai, like that rope bondage that I still can't accept."

A decisive goal.

Shiyu: "!!!"

She blushed instantly.

She felt ashamed whenever she thought about her rather perverse XP.

Nino Nakano, standing to the side, stared in surprise, mouth agape. What were they talking about?

What catgirl?

What kind of rope art?

I hate encrypted calls!

Chapter 312 I'm starting to get a feel for it

Compared to the heated exchange between Yukino and Utaha in the living room, Makoto Fushimi in the kitchen fell silent.

He didn't encounter any problems while cooking; on the contrary, his culinary skills were already top-notch, and making mala tang was a piece of cake for him.

The problem is that he now has Yotsuba Nakano's mission reward—the [Effort Aura].

These past few days, when he was making bento boxes for Eriri, the "Hard Work Aura" did indeed work, but it only worked on normal dishes like "super delicious tonkatsu rice" and "delightful curry beef brisket".

But today is different.

As he swiftly and efficiently prepared the spicy hot pot, the system's text description completely stunned him.

[A spicy hot pot dish that can be used seven times in one night: This is an incredibly delicious food, perfectly balanced between spicy and savory, made with fresh ingredients. After eating it, you'll unleash all your passion for the person you love most, and your physical abilities will be enhanced for a short period, allowing you to reach the level of seven times.]

[Note: This food is very high in calories. If you are someone who is very strict about managing your figure, please consider carefully before trying it.]

Makoto Fushimi's only thought right now is: My memories of my death are attacking me.

What ancient meme is this?

Keep in mind that this meme was already an ancient one before he time-traveled.

When he first heard about this meme, he didn't bother to verify its authenticity. He just heard from others that a guy treated a girl to a meal of spicy hot pot, and that's how he unlocked that achievement that amazed his fellow men...

Back then, whenever anyone heard this story, whether true or false, they would exclaim: "Wow, that's terrifying!"

Makoto Fushimi silently approached the kitchen door and glanced at the three beautiful girls sitting on opposite sides of the living room.

If I let them eat this spicy hot pot, my shop will be blown up!

Although Makoto Fushimi once extended an invitation to a free-for-all, a free-for-all shouldn't be so chaotic as to have no rules.

Will Yukino and Utaha team up?

He did think that way.

But now that these two beautiful girls with long, straight black hair are together, he's definitely the one who'll explode.

As for Nakano Nino?

Her combat power was too low. Compared to those two women with long, straight black hair whose physical abilities were constantly improving, they might fight to the point of obliterating the Great Dao, while Nakano Nino could only stand by and cheer.

We currently have enough raw materials at home, but not enough meat.

After thinking for a moment, Fushimi Makoto decided to go out and buy some meat to temporarily make a spicy hot pot.

As soon as he took off his apron and came out, the three beautiful girls in the living room immediately looked up and looked at him almost at the same time.

"Can we eat now?" Nakano Nino stood up, seemingly ready to help set the table.

Yukino, however, seemed to sense something and asked with a puzzled tone, "Are you going out?"

"Okay, I'll go out and buy some more groceries. Please wait a moment." Fushimi Makoto didn't offer any further explanation.

"He needs to buy groceries again? Is he planning to cook us a big meal today?" Shi Yu said with amusement.

She glanced at Fushimi Makoto's bag of ingredients a few times on her way here; it should have been enough for four people.

Unless Makoto Fushimi plans to start a competitive eating contest, there is absolutely no need to buy any more food.

"Perhaps there weren't enough side dishes." Nino Nakano, whose culinary skills are extremely high, made her speculation from a professional perspective.

Yukino also had this idea, but she hadn't expressed her opinion yet; the aroma wafting from the kitchen whetted her appetite.

fragrance.

It smells really good.

It also has a distinctly spicy flavor.

She wasn't worried that the food would be too spicy for her to eat; Makoto Fushimi has always been good at these kinds of details.

So she was simply aroused by her appetite.

It just so happened that it was dinnertime, and all three of them were still hungry. Now, with that mouthwatering aroma wafting over, Shiwa and Yukino lost all interest in reading.

"Just smelling this is making me restless." Shi Yu subconsciously stood up and muttered softly, "I'll go take a look."

“I’m going too.” Nino Nakano quickly followed.

Yukino didn't move.

She had the best self-control of the three. Although she was a little hungry and her appetite was completely whetted, she was still able to sit still.
