Am I a bad person? They all want to kill me?

Among those magical demonic kitchen utensils, there is indeed one that allows Alice to show her skills, and she cannot deny that.

Lin Qing'an tapped Erina's belly with a gentle smile and continued on his own.

"Today it's you, tomorrow it's Alice, and the day after tomorrow who should you choose? That outstanding graduate Inui Hinatako? Or your classmate Ikuta Suke? Hojo Miyoko?

"Oh, by the way, there are some great chefs among the ghost maids. Why don't we let them try it too? I'm also quite interested in the cuisine of the demon world."

"Oh, it's troublesome to have too many chefs. How about this..."

Lin Qing'an lowered his head and whispered softly in Erina Nakiri's ear.

"Erina, please go and count the chefs in the Crystal Palace and have them take turns preparing my meals for one day each. After I have tasted them all, I will choose a head chef and award her the kitchen on the sixth floor."

"Erina, how about this?"

Nakiri Erina bit her lip and frowned as she said, "It's a very good and fair method."

As she said, this approach is indeed fair.

The kitchen on the sixth floor of the Crystal Palace is undoubtedly the best kitchen in the entire Crystal Palace.

Earlier, after tidying up the room, she and Feishazi had gone to take a look at the kitchens on the second and first floors.

Although all kinds of things are available, both the ingredients and the kitchen are relatively common types, which cannot be compared with the magical kitchenware and high-end ingredients in the kitchen on the sixth floor.

She hasn't checked out the third, fourth and fifth kitchens yet, but she is basically certain that they are definitely worse than the kitchen on the sixth floor.

She had no problem with the best kitchens being owned by the best chefs.

but......

I want it so badly! I want it so badly! I want it so badly!

She doesn't want to miss out on any new high-end ingredients or magical kitchen utensils!

She must win!

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri turned and looked at Lin Qing'an.

"Master Qing'an, after the other chefs have taken their turns, can you give me another chance?"

Naturally, she prepared today's dishes with great care.

But after all, she had just arrived in the demon world. No matter how hard she tried, she was inevitably a little hasty and did not perform at her 100% level.

Therefore, she needs another chance to show her full strength.

"Haha~ It's just one chance, of course it's no problem, but..."

Lin Qing'an changed the subject and asked with a smile: "Erina, what is the melting temperature of chocolate?"

Erina Nakiri was slightly stunned, not understanding why Lin Qing'an suddenly asked this question.

With doubt in her heart, Erina Nakiri replied truthfully.

"Depending on the type of chocolate, their melting point is generally between 30°C and 36°C,"

"Haha~"

Lin Qing'an smiled, bit Erina Nakiri's ear, and asked softly, "Erina, do you like chocolate bars?"

Nakiri Erina's breathing stagnated, and she said stiffly, "I don't like it too much..."

"I don't like it too much, but that means I can accept it~"

Lin Qing'an rubbed Erina Nakiri's little head and said with a smile: "Since you can accept it, then come to my room tonight."

"Hmm..." Erina Nakiri pursed her pink lips and responded with a blushing face.

"Well, go do your own thing."

Lin Qing'an patted Erina Nakiri's lower back, signaling her that she could leave.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

088. "The moonlight is so beautiful..."

"Goodbye, Master Qing'an."

After saying goodbye respectfully, Erina Nakiri fled from the study room without even paying attention to Hisako Arato.

The newly-acquired Feishazi who was left behind could only clean up the dishes obediently.

After everything was cleaned up, Hisako Arato did not forget to apologize to Lin Qing'an for Erina Nakiri's rudeness.

Lin Qing'an didn't care, he just asked Hisako Arato to call Alice Nakiri to come together tonight.

"I understand, Master Qing'an."

In the end, Niito Hisako left the study with a complicated expression.

.........

After lunch, Lin Qing'an opened the book and continued reading attentively.

Shinomiya Kaguya, who was curled up in the corner and played the role of a cat, was still on guard at first, but after a while, she was so bored that she fell asleep without realizing it.

When I woke up again, I didn't know what time it was. I just saw Lin Qing'an still sitting at the desk, studying hard.

The idle Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to get up and move around, but was afraid of attracting Lin Qing'an's attention, so she could only stay where she was, staring blankly at Lin Qing'an's back.

"Ha~~~"

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qing'an finally took action.

I saw him closing the book, stretching and yawning.

"Kaguya, come here."

Lin Qing'an called out without even turning his head.

"Meow~"

After Shinomiya Kaguya meowed, she slowly crawled to Lin Qing'an like a kitten.

Lin Qingan: "Stand up and help me massage my eyes."

After reading for a whole day, his eyes were inevitably a little sore.

"Meow~~"

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at her hands. They were still clean, without any dust from crawling around.

She thought about it and wiped her hands on her clothes before massaging Lin Qing'an's eyes.

It's not that she cares about Lin Qing'an, she just doesn't want to be caught by Lin Qing'an...

After about seven or eight minutes, feeling that it was almost time, Lin Qing'an took the initiative to push away Shinomiya Kaguya's hand.

"Okay, that's enough."

"Meow~"

Shinomiya Kaguya meowed and subconsciously prepared to climb down and continue pretending to be a cat.

"No need to lie down, just stand." Lin Qing'an said at the right time.

"Meow~"

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't think much about it. She slowly straightened her back and stood obediently beside Lin Qing'an.

"After staying in the study all day, Kaguya, you must be a little bored. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Lin Qing'an asked with interest.

"Meow?"

Shinomiya Kaguya was stunned, and a picture emerged in her mind.

Lin Qing'an held her hand and walked in the corridor on the second floor.

On both sides of the corridor, a group of maids looked at her, the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, with different expressions.

When she walked over, the maids would point at her wagging cat tail, with a hint of contempt and ridicule occasionally flashing across their faces.

Thinking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya’s thoughts were about to explode.

"Meow! (I'm not bored! Not at all! I don't need to go out for a walk!)"

"Meow! (No need!)"

Kaguya Shinomiya meowed anxiously while not forgetting to control the cat's tail behind her.

But in a hurry, she tensed her body at a frequency that went wrong, and she couldn't adjust the cat's tail to the third gear, which represented rejection.

Seeing the cat's tail behind Shinomiya Kaguya shaking slightly, Lin Qing'an said with a smile.

"It seems that you really want to go out for a walk, Kaguya. Let's go. I also want to go out for a walk."

After saying that, Lin Qing'an did not give Kaguya Shinomiya a chance to refuse. He directly took out the leash and tied it to the collar around her neck.

"Let's go."

Lin Qing'an held the rope and walked out the door.

Behind him, Kaguya Shinomiya had no choice but to follow the rope with despair in her eyes.

"Kaguya, don't forget the cat walk." Lin Qing'an reminded gently.

"......" Shinomiya Kaguya looked up at Lin Qing'an, her beautiful eyes about to shed tears.

Lin Qingan smiled and comforted: "You can't stay in the room all the time, you have to go out for a walk, and besides..."

Lin Qing'an leaned close to Shinomiya Kaguya's ear and said in a very soft voice: "Let me tell you a secret, love also goes this way~"

"Eh?" Shinomiya Kaguya was slightly startled, and the mist in her beautiful eyes suddenly faded a little.

Did Hayasaka also walk this way? When did she not know?

"Haha~ Let's go~"

Lin Qing'an smiled, didn't explain, and continued to walk out holding Shinomiya Kaguya's hand.

Behind him, Kaguya Shinomiya gritted her teeth and began to walk like a cat.

If Hayasaka can endure it, then she can too!!

In front, Lin Qingan's smile was somewhat difficult to understand.

He didn't lie. Hayasaka Ai was indeed led by him like this, but only in the room and didn't go outside.

.........

Step by step, Shinomiya Kaguya suppressed her shame and walked with Lin Qing'an.

Fortunately for her, Lin Qing'an did not take her to the second floor for a "parade".

Instead, he took her directly out of the Crystal Palace and strolled in the courtyard.

It was already night, and the blood moon of the demon world was hanging high in the sky. The gray sky and earth during the day suddenly became clear.

Looking into the distance, there is an endless white sand plain beyond the courtyard.

The indescribable vastness of the world made Kaguya Shinomiya dazed for a moment, and she even forgot her current situation.

It was not until she felt a slight tug from the other end of the tow rope that Kaguya Shinomiya came back to her senses.

She pursed her lips, took cat steps, and continued walking.

Shinomiya Kaguya originally thought that she would not meet anyone in the courtyard.

After all, all the maids in the Crystal Palace were recruited under duress, and no one would be bold enough to wander around the courtyard late at night.

However......

"Hey~ Yukino, why are you here?"

In the small garden on the right side of the courtyard, Yukinoshita Yukino sat on a stone bench, staring at the bright red blood moon in the sky in a trance.

After hearing Lin Qing'an's voice, Yukinoshita came to her senses and looked in the direction of the voice.
