"I have a lot of untouched food in my fridge, and it looks like it's going to spoil."

Shiina Mahiru frowned immediately and couldn't help but say, "That won't do, wasting ingredients is wrong!"

"How about this, I'll cook for you and try to use up the ingredients."

"Then I'll leave it to you, my angel!"

"I'm not an angel! Don't call me that." Shiina Mahiru glared at him and followed him into the room.

Returning to the place where she lost her virginity, Shiina Mahiru's expression was somewhat complicated.

After taking a deep breath, she put on an apron and tied her waist-length hair into a high ponytail for easy movement.

Then, they went into the kitchen.

Looking at the refrigerator full of food, Shiina Mahiru quickly realized that he did it on purpose.

It's still very fresh; it could easily last for a few days.

But he deliberately said it was going to spoil, probably just to get me to help him cook.

How cunning!

However, it doesn't feel bad.

Even when she was working and had a conflict with Kurata, he would rush over quickly, which shows how much he cares about her.

This guy probably noticed that she was struggling financially lately, which is why he decided to buy the groceries himself.

Or perhaps he felt bad after eating so many of her bento boxes and wanted to repay her with food?

Lost in thought, Shiina Mahiru's eyes gradually became unfocused.

I have a feeling I really won't be able to sleep tonight.

.........

Shiina Mahiru's culinary skills are, of course, beyond question.

A standard meal of three dishes and one soup, with excellent color, aroma, and taste.

Every bite is a pleasure.

"It's so delicious! Being able to taste the angel's delicious cooking makes my life worthwhile!"

Lin Mu gave a thumbs up and even said it in Chinese.

Shiina Mahiru almost spat out her food and couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"What do you mean 'it's so delicious'? It's not as exaggerated as you say, like 'for a lifetime' or anything... It's just a home-cooked meal. Anyone who puts their heart into it will make it taste like this."

"No, no, no, I'm not lying. Mahiru, what you make is different from others, and it really does taste better!"

That's probably her talent.

If this were a world of MasterChef, her cooking would definitely shine.

Upon receiving the approval, Shiina Mahiru unconsciously revealed a sweet smile, feeling a little shy at being praised.

So the girl lowered her head, pretending to be focused on eating, and didn't dare to look him in the eye at all.

Before long, the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill.

Shiina Mahiru was about to go wash the dishes.

Lin Mu then swept her up in his arms and carried her into the room.

That's where the bed is.

"Um...wait, I still need to wash the dishes!"

Shiina Mahiru blushed and nudged him, her heart pounding and her nerves pounding. She quickly made an excuse to try and stop him.

"I'll wash it tomorrow, I'll do it!"

"Ugh... I haven't showered yet... I need to go take a shower!"

"I'll wash it later... Uh... Why are you biting me?"

Looking at the girl biting her own arm in embarrassment and annoyance, Lin Mu felt somewhat helpless.

Shiina Mahiru didn't bite him hard; she just gave him a light bite and then let go. She glared at him, annoyed, and said:

"I already said I can't... I need to take a shower."

For girls, cleanliness is a must.

She sweats while cooking, so what if it smells bad?

Lin Mu had no choice but to put the little angel, Mahiru, down.

To prevent her from escaping, he ran to the door, locked it, and waited there.

Shiina Mahiru was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

This guy, is he afraid I'll run away?

Her room is next door, so he can still come over and bully her, right?

10 minute later.

Wearing his shirt, Shiina Mahiru was picked up by Lin Mu, who was guarding the door, and carried to that familiar place.

The room and bed where the two first had intimate contact.

Lin Mu carefully put Shiina Mahiru down and then carefully examined her small face.

Her snow-white skin appeared rosy from just having taken a bath.

Her delicate face was absolutely stunning, and her rosy cherry lips shimmered with an alluring luster.

Because she was wearing his oversized shirt, her excellent figure was even more accentuated.

The curve that makes the shirt stand up high.

A deep cleavage on fair skin.

Everything about her seemed so pure, lovely, and incredibly alluring.

Shiina Mahiru glanced at him and, seeing the fervor in his eyes, instinctively closed her own.

"No."

Lin Mu gently stroked her golden hair and asked with a smile, "What do you not want?"

Shiina Mahiru pursed her lips, gently placing her small hand on his chest. She could feel his strong heartbeat in her palm, and she felt even more shy.

"Don't bully me, you bad guy!"

Her soft voice sounded like she was being coquettish.

Lin Mu felt like her ears were getting pregnant from listening to it.

I'm absolutely smitten.

"Sweetie, I won't bully you, Mahiru...you're so cute..."

Shiina Mahiru turned her face away in embarrassment. "Cute? Do you think the perfect angel in front of others is cute, or the real, willful me?"

"They're all adorable. No matter which Shiina Mahiru you're paired with, they're all incredibly cute in my eyes!"

"Hmph, I don't believe it. Today... you were stealing lecherous glances at Asada-kun. You're such a pervert!"

"Uh, at a time like this, are you still going to ruin the atmosphere?" Lin Mu looked at her speechlessly, but his eyes became even more intense.

"Besides, I was clearly looking at her with admiration. Also, Asada-san is so pitiful, and I was just feeling sorry for her and wanted to take care of her. Is that not allowed?"

Shiina Mahiru pouted, rested her cheek against his chest, and whispered in reply:

"It's not that it's impossible, it's just...it hurts. You, you big bad guy, demand that I be gentle only to you, but you go and take care of other girls... Waaah!"

Lin Mu didn't intend to let her continue; she would feel guilty.

The cunning man chose to make her happy and then forget his philandering ways.

There was no way around it; he was destined to be a benevolent devil.

Moreover, if he doesn't work hard to form contracts with other familiars, how can he become stronger to protect Mahiru-chan?

Strength is essential!

Chapter 34: Beware of fire, theft, and best friends

After a long time, Shiina Mahiru had no strength left.

She nestled limply in Lin Mu's arms, her eyes filled with shyness, joy, and a hint of resentment as she looked at him.

She clenched her little fist and gently punched him.

"I hate you!"

Lin Mu smiled and grasped the cute little fist, while gently stroking her golden hair with his other hand.

"What's wrong? What did I do that made Mahiru dislike me? I'll change, I definitely will!"

"Hmph, I just hate you." Shiina Mahiru buried her face in his chest and subconsciously rubbed against him.

"They all said they didn't want it, but you still came."

"If you can't get up tomorrow, who will cook for you?"

Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She was actually worried about this?

It's too cute.

"It's okay. If we can't get up, we'll just have something simple for breakfast and order takeout for lunch. Tomorrow's the weekend, so there's no rush to go to school."

Shiina Mahiru then realized that tomorrow was the weekend and felt a little embarrassed.

"Hmm... I've never had takeout before."

Shiina Mahiru muttered something to herself.

Lin Mu looked at her in surprise, "Never eaten it? Not even once?"

"Yes, I have someone at home who cooks for me," the girl hesitated before replying softly.

However, a sad expression appeared on his face.

Lin Mu knew that she was thinking of her two parents who didn't care about her.

However, this was a rare opportunity, and he wouldn't let it slip by.

He then said with a smile, "There's even someone who cooks for you! Are they maids? Mahiru really is a rich young lady. I'm so lucky!"

Shiina Mahiru rolled her eyes at him, "My family is quite wealthy, but you're sorely mistaken if you think you can live off a woman!"

Because she didn't want to have any contact with that family anymore.

Lin Mu looked at her, both amused and exasperated. "What, in your eyes, am I just a good-for-nothing guy who only lives off women?"

Shiina Mahiru shook her head, but her cheeks flushed again.

She wanted to raise him into a good-for-nothing, so that he would be the only man who belonged to her.

Looking at her shy expression, Lin Mu only found her adorable.

His hand encircled her slender, soft waist, and her sweet fragrance wafted towards him.

Such a good girl, and she's mine.

He actually managed to win her over as soon as he awakened his memories.

Lin Mu suddenly felt a sense of pride.

He lowered his head and kissed Shiina Mahiru's forehead, then whispered:

"Alright, go to sleep now. I won't be a good-for-nothing. I promised I would take care of you."

"I forgot to tell you, my novel has passed the editor's review, and we're going to meet tomorrow to discuss signing a contract."

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru's eyes widened.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! That's why I've always said I'm not a deadbeat otaku, I'm a creative otaku!"
