In the time loop, I do whatever I want

Unfortunately, Eriri is a complete weakling, thin-skinned, and arrogant.

With all these factors combined, Yukino simply couldn't muster the same hostility she had towards Utaha.

Let alone giving her a cold look, Eriri would probably blush on the spot, or even run away in a huff, looking aggrieved, if she made even the slightest move.

It's all Fushimi Makoto's fault!

Yukino silently recited this in her heart.

The two quickly arrived at Fushimi Makoto's house, but he hadn't returned yet. It was Sawamura Sayuri who opened the door.

"You came very quickly."

The beautiful woman was still as lively and approachable as ever. She led the two pretty girls into the living room, and after the two girls greeted Mrs. Yukinoshita, she said excitedly, "Acheng said he's going to make mala tang for dinner. We've never had this before, so we stayed out of curiosity."

Mrs. Yukinoshita immediately spoke up: "You were the one who suggested that he cook, don't drag me into it."

"What does it matter? We're best friends, why are we being so close?" Sawamura Sayuri smiled and leaned over, hugging the other's arm.

The air conditioning was on in the room, and Mrs. Yukinoshita couldn't use the "it's too hot" excuse anymore, so she simply pulled her arm away: "Can't you be a little more composed?"

Sawamura Sayuri pretended not to hear and smiled at Eriri, saying, "Eriri, did you see that? Good friends should interact often. You can learn from me."

Eriri froze, then instinctively turned to look at Yukino.

When Yukino saw her hesitant little expression, she felt both helpless and amused: "You don't actually believe it, do you? Aunt Sayuri was just joking."

"It's older sister, not auntie~" Sawamura Sayuri corrected.

Yukino remained silent.

Clearly, given her reserved nature, she simply couldn't bring herself to call an auntie "sister."

In particular, the other party's attitude was somewhat frivolous.

and many more.

I think I overlooked something!

Yukino turned around abruptly, her voice full of surprise: "Auntie Sayuri, you just said he was going to make mala tang?"

“I already said I’m the older sister… That’s right, he said he’s really good at making mala tang (spicy hot pot), I’m really looking forward to it.” Sayuri Sawamura nodded.

Eriri, standing nearby, became expectant: "I saw a really famous mala tang place in Ikebukuro online, I think it's called Cockroach Mala Tang?"

When she spoke the word "cockroach," her Chinese accent was very strange.

Yukino reminded them, "It's Zhang Liang Malatang."

Her Chinese is quite fluent.

"Oh right, that's it... Huh? You even know Chinese?" Eriri asked in surprise.

Yukino offered no explanation.

She studies Chinese in private, influenced by Makoto Fushimi.

Coincidentally, she learns everything very quickly, as if she were born with that talent, so she mastered a new language in a short time.

Makoto Fushimi once remarked: "That saying was right after all: don't meddle in the affairs of anime and manga."

With Yukino's unreasonable learning ability, anyone who didn't know better would think she had some kind of system boost...

"Yukino, what's wrong?" Compared to the Sawamura mother and daughter who were concerned about Chinese, Mrs. Yukinoshita clearly noticed that her younger daughter was acting strangely.

Yukino shook her head with a complicated expression and said tactfully, "He used to make me spicy hot pot."

"Oh? Have you eaten? How did it taste?" Sawamura Sayuri immediately asked.

Yukino's tone became more complicated: "I didn't eat it, but Kasumigaoka-senpai and Nino-san did, and they said it was delicious."

They started blushing and trembling as they ate, and then they started feeling it...

Yukino didn't dare say those words aloud.

"That would be fantastic!" Sayuri Sawamura exclaimed with anticipation.

Eriri was also secretly delighted, thinking that if she was a guest at Fushimi's house tonight, even if that strange schedule worked, she would have someone to sweat and exercise with.

After these days of monotonous life, Eriri has actually gotten used to doing things according to the schedule every day, and the initial resistance and panic have long since faded.

What she really disliked was living such a monotonous life all by herself.

Just like how Fushimi Makoto would come over every noon to tutor her, she was actually quite happy about it.

She is willing to accept anyone's company, whether it's for studying or exercising.

Yukino looked at the happy faces of Sawamura and her daughter, silently picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said nothing more.

Although she didn't suspect that Makoto Fushimi had drugged the hot pot, the overzealous behavior of Nino Nakano and Utaha that day left a deep impression on her.

Later, she was bent over in the bathroom... As a result, she now feels uneasy whenever she hears the word "mala tang" (spicy hot pot).

But today she was definitely overthinking things.

Makoto Fushimi has also cooked mala tang these past few days, but the "seven in and seven out" buff from that day hasn't reappeared.

He now has a complete understanding of the effects of the [Effort Aura].

If it's food, the chance of getting a strange buff is extremely low; he was just unlucky that day.

If it's a handcrafted item, the chance of getting strange buffs increases significantly, but at least they are all positive effects that can still be effective.

After Fushimi Makoto returned from grocery shopping, he greeted the two beautiful girls, put on an apron, and went into the kitchen to start working.

"I'll go help him."

Yukino was restless, and finally hurriedly said something before getting up and heading to the kitchen.

While Sayuri Sawamura was still teasing them about how good their relationship was, Mrs. Yukinoshita was already starting to have doubts.

Yukino is acting very strange!

Is it because of the mala tang (spicy hot pot)?

That shouldn't be the case. Mala Tang is just a regular food. What could be wrong with it?

Mrs. Yukinoshita fell into deep thought.

They are currently in the kitchen.

When Makoto Fushimi saw Yukino suddenly enter, he immediately realized that the girl had developed psychological trauma from the previous incident.

This was a tricky thing to explain, so he pretended not to know and changed the subject: "Will you still play tennis with me in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino, whose thoughts were already in turmoil, immediately asked, "What kind of filthy thoughts are you having now?"

"I just wanted to compliment you on how cute you look in your tennis skirt. Why do you always overthink things?"

"Is that really all there is to it?"

"of course."

"I do not believe."

At this moment, Yukino looked at Fushimi Makoto's face with great pity, like a god on high, and said, "Even if I wear a tennis skirt again in the future, I will still wear safety shorts, so your little tricks are impossible to achieve."

To everyone's surprise, Makoto Fushimi said, "Safety shorts are cute too."

For example, Misaka Mikoto (Railgun).

Yukino, of course, had no idea about Misaka Mikoto. When she heard Fushimi Makoto say that, she was immediately surprised and asked, "Safety shorts are also your XP?"

Then she raised her hand to cover her forehead, showing a disgusted look: "You're hopeless."

"So you're not planning to wear safety shorts?" Fushimi Makoto countered.

Yukino's expression remained unchanged: "If you beg me..."

"I beg you."

"Oh."

Yukino smiled, a smile so beautiful it was intoxicating, but her tone was icy: "I haven't finished speaking yet. If you beg me, I can accompany you to the mall to look at safety shorts. You can look at them however you like."

"You're cheating!" Fushimi Makoto looked very dissatisfied.

Yukino knew he was faking it, but she still felt happy.

She suppressed a laugh and said, "What a pity, your perverted wish to look at legs is destined to remain unfulfilled."

Makoto Fushimi finished preparing the seasonings and put on a thoughtful expression: "If I were to ask Eriri for help, she's so shy and a soft-hearted god, she might agree."

"Then I wish you success." Yukino's smile faded.

"I was just kidding. Actually, I don't want to see anything else except your safety shorts."

"...Now that you say that, I think you're even more of a pervert."

She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly noticed Fushimi Makoto's expression turn serious, which alerted her: "What are you going to do?"

Fushimi Seijin glanced outside the kitchen and whispered, "Let me play with your legs, and I'll give you a family heirloom."

Yukino was dumbfounded.

So direct?

Besides, his mother is outside.

As for the family heirloom the other party mentioned, Yukino didn't quite believe it, but she was curious.

"Take the item out and let me see it first." Yukino didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Fushimi Makoto then reached into his pocket and pulled out a transparent pendant.

Yukino, of course, had no idea that he had made the pendant himself.

[A rough-hewn peace pendant: This pendant has the effects of calming the mind and nourishing the brain, promoting blood circulation and regulating Qi, clearing heat and calming the liver. People who wear this pendant experience better sleep quality and a significant reduction in anxiety and irritability.]

[Note: The effects of this pendant only last for 30 days. It is recommended to make several as backups.]

Makoto Fushimi's monstrous physical abilities certainly don't require it, but the people around him do.

"Invigorating blood circulation and promoting qi circulation" means that it can improve blood circulation and make the body healthier.

Clearing heat and calming the liver means that it can relieve physical fatigue and reduce discomfort caused by physical illness.

"This is the family heirloom you were talking about?" Yukino's eyes were practically overflowing with suspicion.

This thing looks a bit rough no matter how you look at it, like it was bought from a street stall.

Fushimi Makoto smiled and said, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. This is a treasure that I asked someone to buy from a very famous Taoist temple in China. It can make your body healthier and help you sleep better."

"A Taoist temple?"

Yukino wanted to say that such a thing was impossible.

But then she thought again, if even time loops could appear on Fushimi Makoto, then the fact that he specifically took out this seemingly cheap pendant now meant it couldn't be fake.

She paused for a moment, then looked outside hesitantly: "Here... my mother and the others might find us."

“We can close the door. No one will usually bother us while we're cooking. Besides, I have very good hearing,” Fushimi Makoto said confidently.

Yukino hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked to the door, saying softly, "I'm going to take a shower first."

The moment she finished speaking, two alluring blushes rose on her cheeks.

After she left, footsteps sounded outside, and Eriri's pretty face came into Fushimi Makoto's view: "Have you started cooking yet?"

Makoto Fushimi blinked: "Eriri, do you need a massage lately?"

Eriri blushed and said shyly, "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

I do really like that feeling, but you can't be so direct!

"I was just thinking that if you let me give you a massage, and it helps me improve my practical experience, then I'll give you a family heirloom."

After Fushimi Makoto finished speaking, he took out another pendant from his pants pocket.

Yinglili: "???"

Chapter 318 Eriri: Look at me!

In the end, Yukino and Eriri each received a "family heirloom".

Although they were all skeptical of the "family heirloom" that Fushimi Makoto mentioned, they immediately felt a change in their bodies after they actually got their hands on the pendant.

My whole being felt blessed, instantly becoming peaceful and warm, much like when I was lying in a chair leisurely enjoying a sunbath on a pleasant afternoon.
