Collapse, I save everything alone

The undisguised admiration and love that comes to you.

"..."

Mingyu closed the book in silence and opened another one:

"Why is Kallen a god?"

"..."

It seems that the styles are all similar... He really can't decide whether the content is good or bad.

Or, why not just... take them all back?

In the end, Mingyu selected a dozen books about Kallen, registered them in the system, and took them out of the library.

These books should be enough for Yaezakura to read for a while.

"Um, Mingyu, are you living alone in the dormitory now?"

Before parting, Mei asked curiously.

Various rumors and news about Mingyu, the only male student in the school, seemed to have spread among the girls within a day.

"Well, that's true."

Mingyu nodded.

Although there is still a Yaezakura, it is not something that can be made public at the moment.

"Well...why don't you want to come to our dormitory for dinner? It won't be a problem if there's one more person."

Mei suggested.

Mingyu was the benefactor who saved her, so she felt that just thanking him was not enough and he should do something for her.

If her father had not yet been imprisoned, she might have been able to rely on the Lei Dian family's property to give Mingyu some material compensation, but now she no longer has the conditions to do so.

If I were to say what I can still do now...it would be my decent cooking skills.

Mingyu certainly had no intention of refusing this.

After all, as the "Hermit of Rice", the food Mei makes is really delicious.

"If I can eat Mei's cooking every day, I won't hesitate."

For me, it was nothing more than a matter of taking a detour to Mei and the others' dormitory after the class was over.

It's quite a good deal to just take a detour and enjoy top-notch food.

"besides……"

Mei blushed and whispered:

"Although I can't come every day...but on weekends when I don't have classes, I can go to your place and cook for you. What do you think?"

Chapter 24 Morning Exercise

After saying goodbye to Mei at the door of the library, Mingyu returned to his dormitory.

This place will probably be his residence for a long time, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "home".

"Welcome back."

As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard a pleasant female voice.

Well, it doesn’t feel bad to live with a beautiful girl with fox ears.

Mingyu walked into the living room while thinking.

I saw a cherry-colored girl sitting on the edge of the sofa, holding a Homunculus doll in her arms, her eyes fixed on the TV opposite.

——Well, that Homunculus doll is a standard feature of the dormitory. It was probably promoted throughout the school because of the personal taste of a certain school principal.

The content played on TV is the currently very popular "Hoom Three Kingdoms".

"Have you learned how to use the TV yet?"

Mingyu pondered.

Although, nowadays, very few young people watch TV.

"Ms. Sakura, I brought back some books you wanted."

Mingyu piled all the books about Saint Kallen that he borrowed from the library on the coffee table.

"Thank you, Mingyu."

The cherry-colored girl stood up and walked over to the seat next to the book.

The cover of each book depicts the image of Kallen, but the styles are different.

Some are cartoon-like images, some are realistic in style, and there are also Ukiyo-e versions.

However, no matter what style it is, Yae Sakura can recognize at a glance that the person above is indeed her old friend.

After being reborn after five hundred years, she didn't think that her old friend would still be alive, but she still desperately wanted to know what Kallen experienced after leaving Yae Village.

"Although it has been five hundred years, I think the evolution of writing is not that fast. You should still be able to understand it."

Mingyu said with a smile.

At this time, he noticed that Yaesakura's body seemed to have become more solid compared to when she was in Changkong City.

"Ms. Sakura, is your body..."

he asked.

"Well, after coming here, my condition seems to be recovering to a certain extent because of the environment here."

The cherry-colored girl said, raising her hand and looking at her arm.

Although the concentration of Honkai energy in St. Freya Academy is not as exaggerated as that in Changkong City, as a training base for Valkyries, it is still much higher than where ordinary people live.

Therefore, in such an environment, her strength and body are slowly recovering.

After just staying there for a day or two, it was almost materialized.

——This cannot be considered a completely bad thing, but it is not a completely good thing either.

The good thing is that as she gradually absorbs Honkai energy, she will be able to exert more power. If a situation arises where she needs to possess Mingyu to fight, she can provide even more powerful assistance.

On the bad side, the malice of the Herrscher of Corrosion who coexists with her will begin to spread as the Honkai energy increases.

Yaezakura originally wanted to open a book to read the story about Kallen, but she remembered that Mingyu had just returned and had not yet had dinner.

——Because today is Mingyu’s first day of school, she hasn’t figured out the exact time and hasn’t had time to prepare meals in advance.

"No, as for dinner...I can do it myself."

Mingyu asked Yaesakura, who was about to get up, to sit down obediently, and he ran into the kitchen.

Let's just take turns to be responsible for cooking. It doesn't seem right to leave it all to Yaesakura alone.

However, whether before or after coming here, he actually had no experience in cooking.

However, as long as he is willing to try, he still believes that hard work will pay off...!

In short, Mingyu plans to start with the most basic fried rice.

However, even if we can keep going back and trying, there will always be things that we cannot do.

Using backtracking to cook is like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, isn't it?

After taking out the basic ingredients from the refrigerator, Mingyu opened the portable terminal, then opened the browser and started searching...

After completing the preliminary preparations, he began his attempt with full confidence.

[The first time, after a flurry of activity, you made something pretty bad. From the shape and color, it's hard to call it fried rice.]

"..."

Backtrack!

[The second time, the egg fried rice you made this time barely looked like egg fried rice, but after tasting a spoonful with chopsticks, its taste was still repulsive]

"..."

backtracking.

……

[For the thirteenth time, due to careless operation, you leaked a trace of electricity, causing the kitchen appliances to explode. Yaezakura, who was reading a book seriously, stuck out her two fox ears to ask you if you need help.]

"..."

Backtracking…

After countless failures, he finally produced two decent works.

"…Do I have Kaslana's bloodline?"

Looking at these two servings of egg fried rice that could barely be considered mid-range or low-range, Mingyu made a self-deprecating comment.

In short, at this level, it should still be edible.

After bringing dinner to the table, Mingyu called Yaezakura.

..............................

The next day.

Thanks to the location of St. Freya Academy surrounded by forests, the mornings here are very pleasant.

There is plenty of moisture in the air. Just by taking a casual breath, you can feel the refreshing moisture and coolness.

In the forest surrounded by green, there is a faint white mist, and the light from the rising sun has become gentler.

In order to learn boxing from Fu Hua, Mingyu left his dormitory on time and came to the forest.

In the forest filled with the sounds of insects and birds, the sounds of punches breaking through the air were particularly eye-catching, so Mingyu found Fu Hua's location without much effort.

She was wearing a blue training suit - this should actually be the Valkyrie uniform of the Far East branch, but everyone can customize their own uniform, so she also chose a look that was more in line with the Shenzhou style.

The gray-haired woman stood facing the rising sun, performing a set of skillful boxing techniques.

Her punches were clean and sharp, her footwork was erratic, and the whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, which was a pleasure for the visitors to watch.

Although, Fu Hua's Shenzhou-style dress and her habit of morning exercises always remind Ming Yu of the elderly people in Shenzhou who are used to taking a walk and exercising early in the morning...

An old man doing morning exercises…wait, why an old man?

While Mingyu was daydreaming, Fu Hua had already completed a whole set of moves.

After retracting her fists and feet, she turned around slowly and looked at Mingyu:

"You came."

With her perception ability, she naturally knew that Mingyu had arrived nearby.

"Well, good morning, monitor."

Mingyu also greeted the old senior.

Although she had just finished an intense exercise, there was no sweat on Fu Hua's face and her breathing was quite steady.

It seems that this level of training is already commonplace for her.

"I didn't expect you to actually come."

Fu Hua said with a faint smile.

"Of course, to be honest with you, squad leader, I have an urgent need to become stronger."

Mingyu answered honestly.

Although the current school life seems to be very leisurely, even if we exclude the various things caused by Cocolia and Otto, the world itself is actually only three or four years away from the end.

Coming to St. Freya Academy was not only to get close to the protagonists and observe future developments, but also to give himself the opportunity to become stronger quickly.

Fortunately, with his special ability to look back in time, he does have a natural advantage in training and practicing certain skills or abilities.

——After all, as he can go back in time, he can always experience the same part over and over again dozens or even hundreds of times in order to master it thoroughly.
