Traveled through time and space and became Sukuna, but the host was Yukinoshita?

[You will regret this, Yukinoshita.]

[I am the head of the Service Club, Parasite-kun. ]

Fifteen minutes later, Yuigahama Yui excitedly took the baking tray out of the oven, poured the baked cookies onto the plate, and then the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

Looking at the plate of cookies that were as black as charcoal, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly regretted not listening to the advice just now. Perhaps she really shouldn't have let Yuigahama do what he wants.

"This is completely charcoal, right?" Hikigaya Hachiman carefully picked up a piece of it. "Is it poisonous?"

"Where is it poisonous!?" Yuigahama Yui, who was furious, also picked up a cookie from the plate, intending to try it herself, but looking at the burnt color, she couldn't bring herself to eat it, "Hmm... is it really poisonous?"

"Will it eat dead people?" Yukinoshita Yukino had a bitter face and called out to Lin Qi in her heart.

【Would you like to try it? 】

【you are human?】

Lin Qi refused decisively. Since he didn't open his mouth, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't force-feed him, and this behavior was indeed inhumane.

The girl with the bun-haired look was depressed, and it seemed as if there was a dark cloud floating above her head and it was raining continuously. Hikigaya Hachiman really couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and finally, with a pretended resolute expression as if "the hero will never come back", he picked up a piece and took a bite.

"So bitter..." He frowned subconsciously, and the bitter and dry feeling echoed between his teeth. After pinching his nose and biting the whole cookie and swallowing it, Hikigaya Hachiman immediately moved away from the plate of cookies.

"Xiao Qi..." Yuigahama felt both amused and touched as she saw his appearance of trying to avoid her.

"Next, just follow me and do it again." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly and prepared two portions of ingredients again.

Seeing that Yukinoshita was about to start making cookies again, Lin Qi suggested: "You'd better guide Yuigahama step by step, instead of demonstrating by yourself and letting her follow you, otherwise she won't be able to control her hands."

He finally understood that when it comes to cooking, Yuigahama Yui is just like the green-skinned girl who has no power of thinking. She is very creative, but she doesn't consider the taste of the food after it is cooked. She just adds ingredients and seasonings randomly based on her feelings.

If it is not curbed a little, Yukinoshita Yukino's teaching will probably fail again.

[No...Okay, I'll listen to you this time.]

Yukinoshita Yukino, who originally planned to refuse, finally changed her mind after hesitating for a moment and chose to teach Yuigahama according to Lin Qi's method.

Although the girl thought that this method, directing Yuigahama Yui to make the cookies, might lead to the latter mechanically following instructions without thinking, which would not achieve good learning effect, but considering the steps and wonderful ideas when Yuigahama made cookies for the first time, Yukinoshita Yukino felt that what Lin Qi said made sense.

After all, there is a saying called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly froze for a moment and put down the tools in her hands, Yuigahama Yui tilted her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just thought about it and thought that instead of me demonstrating and letting you follow me, it might be better for me to direct you, Yuigahama." Yukinoshita Yukino said.

"Oh, I'm fine with everything." Yuigahama Yui touched the ball on the side of her head and said a little embarrassedly.

She knew that she had no talent in cooking and was clumsy, so it was already great that Yukinoshita Yukino did not look down on her, not to mention that she was so enthusiastic in teaching her.

It was probably Uncle Lin Qi who asked Yukinoshita to do this.

Hikigaya Hachiman watched the two of them quietly from the side, and soon figured out the reason why Yukinoshita Yukino changed her mind.

I hope it will be successful this time.

He didn't want to taste that bitter and astringent taste again.

So, under the instruction of Yukinoshita Yukino, Yuigahama began to make cookies step by step. Her hair fell down inadvertently and some flour was rubbed on her cheeks.

Hikigaya Hachiman unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the serious Yuigahama. He inexplicably felt touched that the silly child finally got his way.

"That's enough, don't add any more sugar." Yukinoshita Yukino stopped Yuigahama Yui's actions in time.

"But, doesn't Xiaoqi like sweeter things?" Yuigahama glanced at the dead-eyed boy who was hitting his shoulder with a rolling pin, and the latter's heart skipped a beat.

"That's sweet enough now."

"Ok."

The bun-haired girl put down the spoon in frustration.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, Yuigahama Yui swallowed her saliva, solemnly opened the oven, and took out the baked cookies.

Hikigaya Hachiman came over curiously and said, "It looks very ordinary."

Then, under Yuigahama's nervous and expectant gaze, he picked up a biscuit, put it in his mouth and started chewing.

"How, how is it?"

After a moment of silence, Hikigaya Hachiman slowly said, "The normal ones are delicious."

At the moment he was silent, Yuigahama Yui thought she had failed again. Before she had time to feel lost, her emotions were like a roller coaster that rapidly dived to the lowest point and then quickly climbed back up. A bright smile broke out on her face.

"Great!"

Yukinoshita Yukino quietly breathed a sigh of relief in a place where the two of them couldn't see. Fortunately, she listened to Lin Qi's advice, otherwise she would probably fail again this time.

[Am I right? ]

In his mind, Lin Qi turned into a boy seeking credit, his tone full of pride.

This time, Yukinoshita Yukino also put away her sharp tongue.

【You did a good thing. 】

……

……

Chapter 15: Direction is more important than effort

"Thank you, Yukinoshita! And Xiaoqi too!" After successfully making delicious cookies, Yuigahama Yui was obviously in high spirits. "I'll go home and try it myself. I'll bring a thank you gift tomorrow!"

After helping to clean the home economics classroom, the bun-haired girl left the service club contentedly.

"In this way, Yuigahama's commission has been completed. I will go home today." While Lin Qi had not appeared yet, Hikigaya Hachiman picked up his schoolbag and wanted to slip away.

"Hey, where do you want to go, Hikigaya boy?" A deep and magnetic voice sounded faintly behind Hikigaya Hachiman.

The hand that was about to open the door suddenly froze.

He turned his head stiffly like a robot, raised his lips and looked erratic, with a ghostly smile on his face: "I want to pick up my sister Komachi from school."

"No problem, as long as you can control the cursed energy to the same level as Yukinoshita, you will be allowed to go." Lin Qi said with a smile, "Come on, Yukinoshita, give Hikigaya a good life!"

"I hope you won't use such strange terms."

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly, and then Hikigaya Hachiman saw the flame-like azure cursed energy rising from her body. Unlike yesterday when only his fists were covered with cursed energy, Yukinoshita Yukino's entire body was enveloped in the azure cursed energy.

"Is this true..." Hikigaya Hachiman shrank his pupils, his face full of disbelief.

Yesterday, Yukinoshita couldn't even activate her magical power, but she was able to achieve this level in just one night? Could it be that this guy's dark history is even more shameful than mine?

"I always feel like you are thinking about something rude." Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Hikigaya Hachiman shivered all over when he was stared at.

"No, I'm surprised at how fast you've made progress." He flattered her quickly, but his face immediately turned bitter.

Yukinoshita was already able to cover her entire body with cursed energy, but even though he was trying hard to withstand the attack from Dark History, he could only make the cursed energy cover only one fist.

What kind of dark history could lead to this extent?

Although Yukinoshita Yukino's expression eased a little due to Hikigaya Hachiman's flattery, she was unwilling to attribute Lin Qi's achievement to herself, so she slowly said, "In fact, it was Lin Qi-jun who helped me master the control of cursed power last night. I didn't do it alone. If you really have something to do, it's okay to just leave."

Hikigaya suddenly realized that it was Uncle Lin Qi who gave him special treatment, so he was fine.

Having said that, isn't Yukinoshita really too serious? Is she even going to admit that she's been given special treatment?

"Well, I'm not the kind of unscrupulous teacher who favors students." Lin Qi said, "Looking at the nature of your cursed power, you're not constantly replaying your own dark history in your mind to stimulate your cursed power, are you?"

"Huh? Isn't that so?" Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned.

"Of course not." Lin Qi laughed loudly. Unexpectedly, his reminder made Hikigaya Hachiman fall into a strange kind of boredom. "The right way is to stimulate the magic power from the small emotions in daily life."

Ugh!

The dead-eyed boy couldn't help but cover his chest and took two steps back. He felt like an arrow had hit his chest out of thin air.

I tore open the scars of memory, actively embraced the unspeakable past, and lay on the bed in embarrassment and shame until I rolled over and over and fell off the bed. But now you tell me that the secondary damage caused by the dark history is unnecessary?

If this happened to Hikigaya Hachiman in junior high school, he would definitely turn evil. It is said that those who turn evil are three times stronger. I wonder if this setting will work on a sorcerer.

However, now he just feels extremely fortunate - it is great that he does not have to rely on the negative emotions caused by recalling his dark history to stimulate his cursed power!

In this way, even Hikigaya Hachiman, who has always been negative about life-and-death battles, can be a little more motivated.

"Also, there is a problem with the way you control the cursed energy." Lin Qi, who had entered teaching mode, subconsciously occupied Yukinoshita Yukino's right hand and pointed it at Hikigaya Hachiman, which also attracted the girl's angry glare. "The extracted cursed energy will be stored in the abdomen, and you subconsciously let the cursed energy flow in your body, and finally it will flow to your fist to strengthen your attack."

"However, this approach is wrong. It will cause the cursed energy to not flow smoothly into various attacks. At the same time, a single obvious flow of cursed energy will also make it easy for people to predict your attack."

"...Did I actually control the cursed energy so much?" Hikigaya Hachiman felt a little embarrassed. He just subconsciously concentrated the cursed energy on his fist.

"It's not wrong to let the cursed energy flow, but it shouldn't be a single flow that relies on attacking. Instead, it should flow and circulate throughout the body like blood. Do you understand?"

"Probably." Hikigaya scratched his cheek and said in an uncertain tone. Even if he could understand what Lin Qi said, he might not be able to do it. After all, the cursed power sounded too mysterious.

"Because I can possess Yukinoshita's body, I can use her body to demonstrate to her how to control the cursed power correctly. But you and I can't do that. You can only practice and master it by yourself." Lin Qi said regretfully. If he could possess others at will, then toys... then things would become much more interesting.

"It's okay, I can practice by myself, no need to bother Uncle Lin Qi..." Hikigaya Hachiman said hurriedly, fearing that Lin Qi would really run to him.

He has no interest in sharing a body with others!

"Okay, go back if you have something to do. Remember to start exercising. Although cursed energy can be used to enhance various physical abilities, a strong body can truly increase your upper limit."

"Oh, I understand." Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment with some surprise, then nodded and agreed honestly.

Uncle Lin Qi actually let him go so easily?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Lin Qi smiled slightly: "I'll let you take it easy today, and we'll start the actual combat tomorrow."

The dead-eyed boy's face froze for a moment, then he nodded resignedly and left.

As expected, you can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever. What is coming will eventually come.

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed in his heart as he pushed his bicycle towards the school gate.

I just don't know if the actual combat Lin Qi mentioned means that he and Yukinoshita Yukino should deal with those monsters called cursed spirits, or if he and Yukinoshita should fight each other alone.

Hikigaya Hachiman hoped it was the latter. He was not mentally prepared to fight those ugly monsters.

……

……

Chapter 16: Easy-to-handle dumplings

"Are you really going to let us fight the cursed spirits, those monsters?"

In the Service Club, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had no friends, naturally got the key to the activity room from the classroom office as soon as school was over, and then came to the Service Club and sat alone, silently waiting for the client to come, who might appear at any time.

Yukinoshita Yukino was very concerned about what Lin Qi said yesterday.

"Are you scared?" A mouth opened on the back of her hand.

"No, I just feel vaguely uneasy."

"You're so stubborn."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips and pinched her white knuckles hard, with an unwilling look that said, "Although I feel very unhappy, I can't refute it."

She was indeed a little scared.

The psychological trauma left by the terrifying mad dog-like cursed spirit that attacked her home three days ago has not completely disappeared. What's more, she has only mastered the initial method of controlling cursed power and has no idea how to fight.

Does she have to use her family's Aikido to fight the cursed spirit?

However, as a beautiful girl with a serious and strong personality, Yukinoshita Yukino forgot all her psychological shadows and cowardice after Lin Qi's continuous ridicule. Instead, she was filled with a spontaneous and high-spirited emotion called "I am very brave".

In short, it's a bit over the top.

"For ordinary people, it is normal to feel a little nervous when dealing with a monster like that without any experience. But if you think it is cowardice, then Parasite-kun is really blinding his eyes." Yukinoshita Yukino snorted coldly.

Lin Qi discovered that his host had a very cute little habit - once she started to criticize or attack someone or something, she would unconsciously hold her hands up, as if trying to make her image more majestic.

However, no matter how she hugged her chest, it was still as flat as the Siberian plains.

"Well said! As a reward, I'll give you a cursed spirit in the form of a big dog!" Lin Qi was not affected at all by Yukinoshita Yukino's somewhat harsh rebuttal, and instead responded happily.

"＃!" The bulging blue veins can be vaguely seen on the girl's forehead.

This guy must be trying to scare me on purpose... But what if Lin Qi really finds herself a cursed spirit that looks like a dog?

No, no matter if the cursed spirit looks like a dog or not, it's scary...

Her thoughts were a little confused, and when Yukinoshita Yukino calmed down, her courage level decreased a little, and she entered a state of being timid yet stubborn.
