What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

The best temperature for jelly is 5°C. After it is put into the mouth, as the temperature rises, the taste of the rainbow fruit begins to change.

It starts with the refreshing sweetness of berries such as strawberries and raspberries, then gradually turns into the fresh and crisp sweetness of apples and pears, and then there is the rich sweetness of concentrated mangoes. In just a few seconds of putting it in the mouth, the taste has changed three times, and each time it is a critical hit to the taste buds!

But this is not the end, it is just the beginning, the deliciousness from the rainbow fruit is still increasing! Increasing! Increasing!

After the extreme sweetness, sourness gradually emerges.

But it was not the kind of sourness that made people feel sick. Instead, it was more acceptable than lemon and softer than passion fruit. It could neutralize the extreme sweetness just now and make the taste of the jelly more harmonious. This fourth taste change went from a sweet solo to a sweet and sour symphony.

The fifth taste change that follows is an aroma.

It is the sweet aroma of autumn brought by dried fruits such as chestnuts. It seems to be more intense than the fresh sweetness of fruits, but the unique sweetness that comes from the degradation of starch into glucose is so comfortable. It does not overshadow the main flavor at all. Instead, it gives you an irreplaceable sense of security, like the sweet and soft rice after tasting exquisite dishes.

The girl's throat moved slightly, and she subconsciously swallowed the jelly slowly.

I thought that was the end of it. After swallowing something that is too sweet, there will often be a slight bitter aftertaste in the mouth. The so-called 'sweet to the point of being bitter' is usually the case. However, is rainbow jelly such an ordinary thing?

Even after it has passed through the throat, its presence is still terrifyingly strong. It is better to say that the taste changes explosively again at the moment of swallowing. Not only does the bitter aftertaste not exist, but there is a different kind of sweetness.

It takes at least several hours for humans to digest food after eating it, and the food will stay in the intestines responsible for absorption for a longer time after digestion.

However, at this time, the Yamada fairy had only swallowed the jelly, and the sweetness of the rainbow jelly had already spread around the body like capillaries, surrounding the body and lingering for a long time.

An inappropriate smile appeared on her face. It was not that she wanted to smile, but simply because the food was too delicious. The extreme feeling of happiness made her smile uncontrollably.

Even if you have tasted countless so-called delicacies since childhood, those so-called delicacies in front of rainbow jelly are no different from slop.

If she had the blood of the Nakiri family, which controls most of the food market on the island country, her clothes would probably have been torn by now.

By the time Yamada Fairy came to her senses, the small plate in front of her was empty.

"How could there be a pudding in the world that is this delicious..." She muttered to herself in disbelief as she looked at the plate.

If Si Ji hadn't been right there looking at her with a smile, the girl would have probably put aside her tutoring and started licking the plate.

"I told you I made this with all my heart, it would be strange if it wasn't delicious, right?" Si Ji happily cleared the table, "This is not something you can eat every day."

No matter how expensive the ingredients on earth are, they are no problem for him who has a lot of money. Even if he uses the highest-grade steak as a side dish, uses king crab legs to make noodles, adds 100 grams of caviar worth thousands of dollars as seasoning, and finally sprinkles the three-fresh noodles with gold foil decoration, he can show off every day. However, whether the blind box can produce rainbow fruit really depends on luck.

"That's it..."

Fairy Yamada naturally didn't know how precious the rainbow fruit was, but she was knowledgeable and knew very well that Shiki's skill in making rainbow jelly alone was enough for him to easily become the head chef of any star-rated tire restaurant. Even among the restaurants she had eaten in, few could compare to Shiki's.

Although she didn't know how much the jelly was worth, she was very touched by the thought.

I'm afraid that my landlord must have spent a lot of time and effort to make such a perfect delicacy that is simply like a miracle and cannot exist in this world.

And all this is to cheer myself up...

"Assistant." The girl said seriously.

"What's wrong?" Si Ji, who was cleaning up the dishes, looked up and asked.

"After this bet with Kasumi Shiko is over, whether I win or lose, I will tell you my real name."

"Huh? Why are you saying this suddenly? And don't you think this sentence has a flag-like feeling like 'I will go back to my hometown and get married after the war is over'?" Si Ji asked in surprise.

And I already know it all, Shiki thought.

"Don't worry about such a small matter!" The girl smiled brightly and said sweetly, "Just look forward to it!"

Shiki looked confused, not quite sure what Miss Yamada Fairy was planning, but his full-level business skills allowed him to tell at a glance that the other party had no ill intentions and was not lying, so he didn't care much.

Although the rainbow fruit was indeed precious, this thing itself was something he cleared out when he was sorting out his inventory, and it was not a thing of much value among his pile of treasures.

Moreover, among all the gourmet ingredients that appeared in his purple blind boxes, the rainbow fruit was the easiest to process - the others were high-difficulty ingredients such as whales and dolphins, whose success rate in processing was less than 50%.

In order to save trouble, he even did not make the more difficult dishes in the recipe and just made the simplest jelly.

There is only one reason for doing this.

"How do you feel now?" he asked the girl.

After he asked this, Yamada Fairy noticed that his sleepy spirit seemed to be nourished and became full of energy. Even his tired body seemed to be re-energized and he felt better than ever!

"Is this also the effect of the food?" She asked in surprise, her beautiful eyes slightly widened.

"It's love, I added love." Si Ji said seriously, and then he waited for the other party to complain about him as usual.

It turned out that the Yamada fairy didn't complain, but a pretty blush appeared on her delicate face like a doll.

four seasons:……

This is not good. Why do I feel like I'm digging my own grave?

Chapter 56: Puberty is like this (wrong

Si Ji probably realized that his favor towards the fat sheep seemed to be a little too much.

However, unlike the vest that can be transformed into a scumbag at will, he has no intention of using his real self to fall in love for the time being. After all, the vest can be thrown away at any time when it is not needed, but the real self is the real self, a part of himself that cannot be cut off, and requires a certain degree of careful maintenance, at least to avoid falling into some weird Shura field.

After all, God knows when I will no longer be able to afford to rent this stingy system, and at that time, the only thing I can rely on is my own identity.

This is not an unfounded worry. As the two aliases of Qiu Ling Fumpei and Natsume Zhenliu become more famous all over the world, people are gradually getting used to the influence they bring. The same behavior can earn fewer and fewer influence points, which makes Shiki, who noticed this, quite distressed.

If it weren't for the appearance of the three little fat sheep, Yamada Fairy, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Takanashi Rikka, which allowed Shiki to discover a new way to obtain influence points, he would probably have to consider letting those two vests do a big job for people all over the world after his vacation...

"But the fairy is only 14 years old. Her affection for me now is probably just an impulse of adolescence. Considering the rebellious period that goes with adolescence, it would be better to deal with it coldly rather than rejecting her forcefully, which could easily backfire. Anyway, 'Washinomiya Shiki' is different from the two famous and dazzling aliases, Natsume Makuryu Akiryo Bunpei. She is just an ordinary person. Just wait until she calms down."

While watching the energetic girl leave the room, Shiki made this judgment in his heart as he looked at her energetic back.

So he felt relieved and started to think about the strategy to conquer Shiina Mashiro.

☆

Although it was a little sudden, Nanami Aoyama felt that she was about to die from overwork.

She lives in Sakurasou and is already very busy balancing studies and a part-time job.

She is an executive committee member of the student union, and she cannot fall behind in her studies no matter what. She also needs to pay for the tuition and daily expenses of the voice actor school by herself. Because her family does not support her dream of becoming a voice actor, they only pay for her high school tuition. However, the girl still chooses to stick to her dream and does not want to give up no matter how difficult it is.

Even though she was so busy, the irresponsible dormitory supervisor at Sakurasou still caused her a lot of trouble.

She was the cousin of the dormitory teacher Chihiro Sengoku, a mixed-race returned child named 'Shiina Mashiro'.

At first, the girl refused to be forced to bear the brunt of the burden, but after meeting Shiina Mashiro, she softened her heart.

The other party is too pure and has no ability to take care of herself. If she does not take over the responsibility of taking care of Shiina Mashiro in Sakurasou, the girl may fall into the hands of other problem children... Although she does not hate the other residents in the dormitory, Nanami Aoyama really can't feel at ease to hand over such an innocent girl to them.

So in the end, Nanami Aoyama could only be bound by her own kindness and took on the job of taking care of Mashiro Shiina, making her, who was already overwhelmed by various busy affairs, even more tired.

Even if I complained to the dorm supervisor, I would only get a weird response like "As long as the student I like takes action, everything will be fine!"

After much persuasion, she finally made it to the spring break. School matters were over and she only had to balance her part-time job and voice actor school, which made her feel a little more relaxed. However, whenever she thought about the start of school in a few days, Nanami Aoyama would feel a dull pain in her stomach.

Having said that, the girl's sense of responsibility (and corporate spirit) still makes her do her job as Shiina Mashiro's babysitter diligently. Although she does have complaints, every time she sees Shiina Mashiro's dreamy and pure appearance, which is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, most of the resentment in her heart always disappears.

"Yabai, you came back a little late today."

The voice actor school would occasionally notify students to go for auditions. After being eliminated as usual, Nanami Aoyama hurriedly returned to Sakurasou with the food.

As a result, I ran into other residents of Sakurasou at the door.

"Misaki-senpai, what are you doing here?" she asked curiously.

"It's Nanami-chan... Actually, two people suddenly came to visit Mashiro today and said they wanted to be alone with her for a while. I wanted to help Mashiro reject them, but I don't know what the boy said to Mashiro, but in the end Mashiro actually agreed."

Misaki Igusa was startled by Nanami Aoyama when she sneaked up to her. She calmed down after seeing that it was her and answered, "Because the door was closed, I wanted to secretly see from the window outside to see if that guy did anything strange to Mashiro."

"what!"

Aoyama Nanami was horrified, and immediately ran into Sakurasou, came to the door of Mashiro's room, and pushed the door open directly -

‘Kaka’

"The door is locked?!"

This is not good. Mashiro never locks the door on normal days!

Nanami Aoyama's worry level immediately rose two levels. She quickly ran to the dormitory manager Chihiro Chigoku's room, dug out the spare key, and rushed back to the door to open Mashiro's room: "Mashiro, are you okay?"

As a result, the scene she was worried about did not appear.

Shiina Mashiro and a strange white-haired boy were setting up a drawing board and painting a short-haired girl wearing an eyepatch sitting on the bed as a model.

According to Kamiigusa Misaki, it should have been only a short time since the three of them were alone (?), but the paintings on the two people's drawing boards were already quite complete - they were not quick sketches, but felt more like gouache paintings. Nanami Aoyama, who had no research in this area, could only make such an assessment.

"Nanami?" Shiina Mashiro seemed to have just come back to her senses. She tilted her head and looked at Nanami Aoyama who was still gasping for breath at the door, and called out softly in a voice that was a little ethereal.

"I, um..." Nanami Aoyama was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say.

It was the strange boy who rescued her.

There was no expression on his pale but handsome face, but his wine-red eyes revealed a hint of playfulness: "It just so happens that if we, as creators, were to make a subjective judgment, there would inevitably be some controversy. At this time, if a third party were to look at it from a more objective perspective, perhaps a more fair conclusion could be reached."

He turned sideways and presented his drawing board to Aoyama Nanami: "My classmate, if you don't mind, let me ask you this: whose painting do you think is better, mine or Ms. Shiina's?"

Nanami Aoyama subconsciously felt it was a little ridiculous: Shiina Mashiro was a well-known art genius. Even if she didn't understand art at all, she would be moved when she saw Mashiro's works. There couldn't be a better painter than her among her peers, right?

However, when she saw the boy's painting, her confidence began to waver...

Chapter 57 Isn't it normal for geniuses to have quirks?

It is difficult for humans to appreciate beauty objectively without being subjective. It is better to say that the definition of beauty itself varies according to personal preferences.

Therefore, it is difficult to make a completely objective assessment of the quality of a painting, even for professional commentators.

That is why some graffiti that seem very abstract or just a few random strokes to normal people can be praised as brilliant by art connoisseurs and sold at unimaginable prices for ordinary people - even if you exclude the scum who use this to launder money, there will still be people who appreciate that kind of art.

However, when there is another painting with exactly the same painting method and subject matter next to it, this originally unquantifiable situation becomes possible for comparison.

From her own inner preference, Nanami Aoyama would definitely want to choose Mashiro Shiina, who was closer to her. However, from the girl's simple aesthetic point of view, the painting of the white-haired boy made her feel the beauty more. She even felt as if the soul of the girl sitting on the bed and making strange movements was sucked into the painting and came alive.

So Nanami Aoyama didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I lost."

But after admiring the boy's painting for a while, Shiina Mashiro's usually expressionless face revealed a hint of amazement - this was the first time Aoyama Nanami saw Mashiro show such an expression - and she very frankly put down her paintbrush and admitted defeat.

"There's actually someone who can draw better than Mashiro..."

It was not until this time that Nanami Aoyama confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her aesthetic taste.

This was a huge shock to her.

Unlike Mashiro, a child prodigy who has been famous in the painting world since childhood, Nanami Aoyama is just an ordinary person with ordinary talents. Her dream is not out of reach for her, but it is not easily reached either. She can only grit her teeth and rely on her own efforts to climb the mountain leading to her dream as high as possible, hoping to reap the fruits of success one day.

There is nothing wrong with this simple dream when everyone around you is as ordinary as you are. It can even inspire people to work hard.

However, when a genius like Shiina Mashiro appeared, the girl's worldview that originally relied on hard work and sweat to achieve success was already crumbling - the cliff that ordinary people need to climb at the risk of their lives and gamble their future is just a smooth road for such people. The goals that ordinary people pursue throughout their lives are just wild flowers that they can pick on the roadside and discard at any time.

All of this is too cruel, and it may even make people doubt their lives, wondering "What is the point of my efforts?"

Fortunately, Shiina Mashiro only has an extraordinary talent in painting, which has nothing to do with Aoyama Nanami's path. In addition, Mashiro is as naive as a blank sheet of paper and has no ability to take care of herself, which gives Aoyama Nanami a little comfort and prevents her from completely doubting her life.

But the appearance of the young man at this time once again made her feel that there is always someone better.

"As agreed, I will help you draw."

Shiina Mashiro continued, but then she tilted her head and asked in a puzzled voice: "But you are so good, why do you still need me to help you draw?"

"Wait, what agreement? Why does Mashiro want to help you draw?"

It was not until this time that Nanami Aoyama came to her senses and realized that she was not the referee of the other competition, but was the proxy guardian of Mashiro Shiina to protect her from being deceived by strange people.

"Of course there are stakes when people of our level compete in drawing. Don't worry, it's not a bad stakes," the boy said, spreading his hands. "It's just that if I win, Ms. Shiina will help me draw, and if I lose, I will teach her how to draw comics and help her contact the publisher."

“Are you a cartoonist?”

Because the boy's frank look did not seem to be fake, and his paintings were right next to him, Nanami Aoyama put aside her doubts for the time being and asked in surprise.

"Not yet, but I can debut anytime if I want."

The boy took out his cell phone and started operating it.

Nanami Aoyama could only roughly see that he was logging into the backend of some forum, and then the boy showed them his backend email address.

The page was full of unread letters. I scrolled down more than a dozen pages but still didn't reach the bottom. Most of them were "readers" expressing their admiration and amazement - there were also a few who seemed to be from hardware stores talking about razor blades or something - and a few of them were highlighted. They were all letters from various publishing houses inviting them to discuss publishing matters in detail. Several of them were well-known comic publishers, even to outsiders like Nanami Aoyama.

"If Mashiro agrees, I won't say much... But Mashiro is a very famous painter. Even the British Prime Minister has shaken hands with her!"

Compared to Shiina Mashiro who has no social experience, Aoyama Nanami, who has been working part-time in various places, is more sensitive to certain issues. She subconsciously bluffs, wanting the boy opposite to make a guarantee to prevent him from asking Mashiro to draw something weird.
