Anime: Stealing Yukino's knee-high socks, and being blocked by Yangno

"Yeah, eating is all about having fun, it doesn't have to be complicated!" Su Mo smiled slightly and took over the conversation in a relaxed tone: "I like the cooking skills of each of you. What's important is that we are together, this is the most fun!"

When the girls heard his words, they all quieted down and the atmosphere became much more harmonious...

Just as everyone was eating quietly, there was suddenly a hurried knock on the door.

"Brother Su Mo! Someone is coming!"

Izumi Sagiri was the first to react and hurried to open the door.

I saw a man covered in a black robe standing at the door. He looked nervous and seemed to have run in a panic.

"Exorcist! There's an evil spirit haunting our village. Please help us!"

Su Mo stood up, and several women stood up together.

"You guys eat, I'll go take care of it!" Su Mo turned and looked at everyone, his expression still calm and composed: "But I guess you guys won't be able to stay at home peacefully, right?"

　5.5 "Of course we'll go with you!" Erina was the first to step forward, her eyes determined: "Wherever you go, we'll follow!"

"That's right!" Izumi Sagiri also echoed: "We are not afraid! Besides, what is there to be afraid of when we are with Brother Su Mo?"

"You two little brats, don't hold us back!" Yamada Fairy crossed his arms and said this, but he was already walking towards the door.

Chapter 235 Brother Su Mo, is this the place where evil spirits exist?

"Okay, since we are going, let's go together!" Su Mo shrugged and showed a doting smile.

Several women immediately gathered around him and set off with him.

Everyone hurried to the edge of the village. There was silence all around, the sky was slightly dark, and there seemed to be a faint cold aura spreading in the distance.

"Brother Su Mo, is this the place where there are evil spirits?" Izumi Sagiri stood beside Su Mo, looking around. Although she said she was not afraid, her hand was tightly grasping Su Mo's sleeve.

"Yes!" Su Mo raised his hand to sense the fluctuation of spiritual energy and said lightly: "It's in that forest.

It seems like he's quite resentful, but it's not a big deal!"

"Let's go with you!" Although Erina Nakiri's tone was firm, her steps were a beat slower than others, and she was obviously still a little timid.

"Are you all following me? Don't get scared and run back home!" Yamada Fairy teased with a smile, but she herself did not completely relax, and her hands unconsciously clenched tighter.

"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen!" Su Mo smiled dotingly, gently patted Erina's shoulder, and encouraged them: "I'll make a move later, just follow me and don't run around!"

"Okay!" Izumi Sagiri nodded quickly. Although she said she was not afraid, she was already feeling nervous.

Su Mo's voice gave her a sense of security, and her worries about herself were slightly alleviated.

Su Mo led a few women into the woods slowly, and several others followed closely behind him, walking lightly and cautiously.

The cold wind blew through the woods, making a slight rustling sound. Although there was nothing particularly scary, the atmosphere still made people feel a little tense.

"This place feels really creepy..." Yamada Fairy pretended to be calm and spoke in a much lower voice than usual: "Don't you think the wind is a little weird?"

"Yeah, I think so too!" Izumi Sagiri hugged her arms tightly, trying to make herself look less scared: "But, as long as Brother Su Mo is here, we will be fine!"

"Of course!" Su Mo responded softly, and suddenly raised his hand and waved it. The spiritual power spread out like ripples, and the atmosphere around him immediately became much more stable.

He stopped and said in a relaxed tone, "We're almost there!"

"Is it really going to start?" Erina stood beside Su Mo, her eyes unconsciously glancing towards the dark corner in the distance. Although her expression was calm, her hands unconsciously clenched a little.

"Stay here and don't move!" Su Mo nodded gently, his voice low and powerful: "I'll take care of it, quickly!"

After saying that, he walked forward. In the cold darkness, there seemed to be a pair of vague eyes peering out.

Suddenly, a low laugh came from the depths of the woods. The sound was eerie, like the whisper of an evil spirit.

"Hahaha.057... A mere human dares to step into my territory?"

Su Mo smiled coldly, not taking the voice seriously at all. He raised his hand and a burst of spiritual power suddenly burst out, rushing straight into the depths of darkness.

"Since you dare to come out, I won't be polite!" He said in a flat tone, and with a wave of his hand, a powerful spiritual power directly hit the source of the voice.

"Ah--" The gloomy voice suddenly became terrified. Only a shrill scream was heard, and then a black shadow emerged from the depths of the woods, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and quickly dissipated in the air.

Izumi Sagiri, Yamada Fairy, and Nakiri Erina stood there, staring at all this in amazement.

Chapter 236: For him, dealing with evil spirits is as easy as cutting vegetables!

"It's resolved so quickly?" Yamada the Fairy widened his eyes and muttered in disbelief, "I thought there would be some earth-shattering scene!"

"This is how powerful Brother Su Mo is!" Izumi Sagiri said proudly, her eyes sparkling with admiration for Su Mo: "Look, for him, dealing with evil spirits is as easy as cutting vegetables!"

"Huh, that's really a bit enviable!" Although Erina Nakiri was tough on the outside, her tone clearly revealed her dependence and trust in Su Mo: "However, this kind of small character is not worth Brother Su Mo's trouble at all!"

"Okay, don't stand here. The matter has been resolved. Let's go back!" Su Mo smiled slightly, walked back to them, and patted their heads: "You performed well this time. Maybe I can let you try next time!"

"Me? Go on stage?" Izumi Sagiri immediately shook her head: "I don't want to! Even if you said I could learn spiritual power, I don't want to deal with these things. They're too scary!"

"Hmph, coward..." Yamada Fairy smiled and said harshly, "I would like to try. After all, I always see Brother Su Mo taking action, so I should learn to become a little stronger!"

"Really?" Su Mo glanced at her and said with a smile, "Then I won't show any mercy next time. I'll wait for you to show off!"

"Tsk, who's afraid of you!" Yamada Fairy replied stubbornly. Although she was a little nervous, she still maintained a proud look.

"Stop arguing and go home for dinner. I don't want to stay here too long!" Nakiri Erina was already impatient. She turned around and walked back, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice: "When we get home, I want Brother Su Mo to cook!"

"You're monopolizing Brother Su Mo again!" Izumi Sagiri protested dissatisfiedly: "I clearly agreed to help today!"

"You want to help with cooking? Just don't make a mess in the kitchen!" Yamada Fairy immediately mocked, "Last time you even burned the pot!"

"Don't mention that anymore!" Izumi Sagiri blushed with shame: "I have improved a lot, okay?"

Su Mo smiled and let them quarrel behind him while he walked leisurely in front.

No matter how much the girls quarreled with each other, in the end they all gathered around him, relied on him, and trusted him.

And he is their most reliable support.

After returning home, the girls started arguing with Su Mo about dinner again.

In the end, Su Mo said casually: "I'll do it today, everyone stop arguing!"

When the women heard this, they all quieted down and smiled with satisfaction.

As soon as Su Mo walked into the kitchen, several women immediately followed him, surrounded him, and watched him prepare dinner eagerly.

"Brother Su Mo, what are you going to make?" Izumi Sagiri came up to him, her eyes full of anticipation: "Can you make something different this time? Don't make all the bland dishes like last time. I want to eat something flavorful!"

"You little kid, you only know how to eat strong flavors!" Nakiri Erina teased beside her, with a hint of arrogance in her tone: "Brother Su Mo will of course make the best dishes, you don't have to worry about it!"

"How am I a child?!" Izumi Sagiri was immediately dissatisfied. She put her hands on her hips, puffed her cheeks and glared at Erina: "You only think you are so great because you can cook!"

"Huh, isn't it?" Nakiri Erina raised her head slightly, with a confident smile on her face, and turned to look at Su Mo: "Brother Su Mo, you are always satisfied with my cooking, right?"

Chapter 237 Look! Brother Su Mo said my cooking is pretty good too!

Su Mo smiled, his hands still busy, and began to prepare the ingredients: "Everyone's cooking style is unique, I like them all, so stop arguing!"

"Look, look! Brother Su Mo said my cooking is pretty good too!" Izumi Sagiri immediately seized the opportunity and proudly raised her head towards Erina: "So, you don't have to pretend to be so great all the time!"

"You little brat..." Erina Nakiri sighed helplessly, but didn't say anything else. She just walked aside and sat down, pretending to look at her phone.

"I'd like to know if Brother Su Mo will make dessert today?" Yamada Fairy interrupted, crossing her arms with a smile on her face. "You promised me last time that you would make a special 057 dessert. You didn't forget today, did you?"

"Of course I won't forget!" Su Mo nodded, his tone relaxed: "But you have to help me, otherwise there won't be enough time!"

"Me?" Yamada Fairy was a little surprised, then said stubbornly: "Humph, since you asked, I will reluctantly help you!"

As she spoke, she walked to Su Mo's side. Although she was not very familiar with the cooking process, she was still a little excited. After all, it was a pleasure to cook with Su Mo.

Seeing this, Izumi Sagiri immediately came over and said, "I want to help too! I don't want Yamada the demon (cfff) to monopolize Brother Su Mo!"

"You guys are not helping!" Erina stood up slowly and walked to Su Mo's side: "Let me do it. After all, cooking requires professionals!"

The three of them were busy around Su Mo. Although Yamada Fairy was secretly glancing at Su Mo while helping with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat on his face, he actually quite liked this busy atmosphere in his heart.

Izumi Sagiri helped and asked Su Mo how to do it from time to time, just like a little apprentice.

Erina handled the ingredients gracefully and gave Su Mo some suggestions from time to time. The scene looked very enjoyable.

"You guys are quite active!" Kasumigaoka Utaha stood at the kitchen door, took a few glances, and couldn't help but laugh: "I don't usually see you guys so diligent!"

"Of course I have to help Brother Su Mo with cooking! Otherwise, it will be so hard for him to do it alone!" Izumi Sagiri shouted, but her hands did not stop moving: "Sister Shiyu, won't you come to help?"

"Me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha lazily leaned against the door frame and shook her head slightly: "I'm not good at cooking, so I'd better not make trouble!"

"Then just stand there and watch, you'll know how good our craftsmanship is later!" Yamada Fairy said stubbornly. Although his hands were not skilled, he tried his best to act like he was very experienced.

"Okay, okay, I'm looking forward to eating your delicious food!" Shi Yu replied with a chuckle, walked into the living room, found a place to sit down, opened a novel and continued reading.

After a busy time in the kitchen, the aroma finally filled the air and several dishes were placed on the table.

Izumi Sagiri excitedly pointed at one of the dishes and said, "Look! I helped make this! Although most of it was directed by Brother Su Mo, I still contributed to it!"

"Yeah, it's really good!" Su Mo nodded in praise and took a bite to taste it: "It tastes great, a big improvement!"

Izumi Sagiri was so happy that her face was full of smiles, completely ignoring the looks from Yamada Fairy and Erina beside her.

"Hmph, the dessert I made is the most important!" Yamada Fairy proudly brought the dessert she helped make to the table. Although she was only responsible for a small part, in her opinion, she had participated in a lot.

Chapter 238 I really enjoy cooking with you!

"You two should stop stealing the credit!" Erina said with a smile, then turned to look at Su Mo: "You did a good job today, thank you for your hard work!"

"Why is it so hard? I really enjoy cooking with you guys!" Su Mo responded with a smile, his eyes full of pampering.

Everyone sat around the dining table and enjoyed this warm dinner.

During this period, Izumi Sagiri complained from time to time that Yamada Fairy was stealing her credit, and Yamada Fairy retorted that she was not even proficient in basic vegetable cutting.

Erina ate gracefully, correcting their small mistakes from time to time, while Kasumigaoka Utaha sat on the side, occasionally interjecting and making a few jokes, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

"Brother Su Mo, do you think we will live together like this forever in the future?" Izumi Sagiri suddenly asked with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

Su Mo chuckled and looked up at her: "Don't you want to?"

"No!" Izumi Sagiri hurriedly shook her head, her face a little red: "I just think... this is good. We are all together, and I feel at ease!"

"Of course it will always be like this!" Su Mo nodded gently: "As long as you are willing, I will always protect you and won't let you get hurt!"

"You said it, don't regret it!" Yamada Fairy immediately responded, with a little pride in his voice: "No matter what happens in the future, you have to be responsible for us!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down!" Su Mo smiled with a firm tone.

The girls all quieted down. Although they were usually noisy, at this moment, they all felt a special sense of security, as if no matter what happened in the future, as long as Su Mo was there, they would not have to worry about anything.

After dinner, the girls gathered around Su Mo and chatted for a while. The topic ranged from spiritual cultivation to today's solution to the evil spirit. Although the topic jumped constantly, everyone was very engaged.

It was not until very late that they reluctantly dispersed and returned to their respective rooms.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Su Mo got up early as usual. He walked to the balcony and stretched. It was quiet all around, as if everyone was still asleep.

Just as he was about to go to the study, there were two light knocks on the door.

"Brother Su Mo, are you up?" Izumi Sagiri's voice came from outside the door, sounding a little hesitant.

"Come in!" Su Mo smiled slightly, walked over and opened the door. Izumi Sagiri was standing at the door, wearing a loose pajamas, her hair a little messy, obviously she had just got up.

·· ·····Request flowers····· ·····

"I...I can't sleep!" Izumi Sagiri stood there a little awkwardly, with a bit of embarrassment on her face: "I want to talk to you!"

"Come in!" Su Mo made way for her to come in. "It's good to get up early. We can talk about anything!"

Izumi Sagiri walked into the room, sat on the sofa, and twisted the corners of her clothes with her little hands a little nervously.

0 ..... ....

"Brother Su Mo, I'm wondering if I'm too stupid when it comes to controlling spiritual energy. You've been teaching me for so long, but I'm always a slow learner!"

Su Mo looked at her, walked over and sat down opposite her, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't think so, you have made great progress.

Everyone learns at a different pace, what matters is that you’re trying!”

"But I see that Erina-sister and the others seem to learn much faster than me..." Izumi Sagiri's voice gradually became quieter, and she seemed a little frustrated: "I'm afraid I'll fall behind!"

"How could you be holding us back?" Su Mo shook his head, his tone gentle but firm: "You have your own strengths, but it will take time to improve your spiritual power.

Besides, I never thought you were a burden!"
