Conan: Top succubus, crazy CP

Chapter 829 The Sad Old Butler

Hanyu Kusunoki clearly felt that his vision seemed to have become clearer, and he then looked at the LCD screen on the baking oven.

[Baking completed - Effect: Improve eyesight]

"It has the effect of restoring and improving vision." Hanyu Kusunoki praised, "Xia Mei, your craftsmanship plus the bonus of the oven are a perfect match."

Xia Mei also tasted a piece and immediately showed a surprised expression: "It's really different! The texture and taste have been improved by several levels!"

She excitedly grabbed Hanyu Kusunoki's hand and said, "Kunsu-kun, thank you so much! I will definitely make good use of this oven!"

Hanyu Kusunoki smiled and held her hand back: "I believe you. But..."

He deliberately dragged out his tone, "In exchange, my dessert supply will be left to you from now on."

"No problem!" Kosaka Natsumi agreed readily, with a confident smile on her sweet face, "I will definitely make a dessert that will satisfy Nan-kun!"

The two smiled at each other, and a sweet atmosphere filled the kitchen.

Just then, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Xiao Ai was standing at the door holding the fish tank, expressionless. Her cold appearance exuded an aura that kept people at a distance.

She looked at Hanyu Nan and Xia Mei quietly, and said in a calm tone: "Excuse me, the empress is hungry."

The empress in the fish tank cooperated by spitting out a string of bubbles, as if saying "I'm going to have my meal."

Hanyu Kusunoki: “…”

These two were definitely intentional.

Xia Mei was very happy: "Just right, I made cookies, let's try some together~"

As she spoke, she walked enthusiastically to Xiao Ai, handed the cookie to her, and even broke off a small piece and carefully fed it to the empress in the fish tank.

The empress glanced at Cookie arrogantly, as if she was examining a low-end tribute, as if she was considering whether to condescend to accept the food.

Finally, under everyone's expectant gaze, it swam over slowly, gracefully picked up the cookie, and began to chew it slowly.

"It seems that the empress likes it too~" Xia Mei said happily.

Xiao Ai looked at this scene, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Thank you."

Just two simple words, but coming from the mouth of a tsundere loli, it is already a very high evaluation.

The three of them returned to the pavilion in the backyard, where Mingmei had already prepared the tea.

As the sun sets, the golden sunlight shines on the lake, making it sparkle and beautify the landscape.

Xia Mei looked at this harmonious scene and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful..."

"If you like, you can come and play anytime."

Hanyu Kusunoki said casually.

Xia Mei turned her head and her eyes met with Hanyu Nan's. Her gray eyes were full of tenderness: "Is it really okay?"

"Of course." Hanyu Kusunoki nodded, "You are always welcome here."

A bright and sweet smile bloomed on Natsumi Kosaka's face, which was so beautiful under the reflection of the setting sun that it was heart-warming.

"Then I'm not welcome~"

With the girl's answer, the Hanyu family's "Pokémon Zoo" has a new member, and Hanyu Kusuno's harem... no, it's a circle of friends, has expanded again.

……

At dinner time, Mingmei prepared a sumptuous meal.

Sitting at the dining table, looking at the exquisite dishes in front of her, Kosaka Natsumi couldn't help but exclaim: "Mingmei's cooking skills are amazing!"

Mingmei smiled gently: "As long as Xiamei likes it."

Hanyu Nan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in Xia Mei's bowl: "Try it, Mingmei's specialty."

Xia Mei took a bite and her eyes lit up instantly: "It's delicious!"

Xiao Ai ate her meal silently on the side, glancing at Xia Mei from time to time and sighing silently in her heart - another girl "kidnapped" by her own young master.

"Buyi!" Yingying jumped onto the dining table and looked at the delicious food eagerly.

Bobo also stuck his head in through the window, trying to get some free food and drinks.

Xiao Ai: “…” (stare)

She said seriously, "No, you two have already stolen several cookies."

As a trainer who adheres to scientific concepts, Ai-chan has carefully customized a scientific diet for Yingying and Pidgeot.

She did this mainly because she was inspired by her elder sister.

After all, in order for her to grow up healthily, her elder sister not only customized a nutritionally balanced diet for her, but also forced her to drink a glass of hot milk every morning, muttering something like this would help her grow up quickly.

What a joke, is she, Haibara Ai, a child?

Although she thought so in her heart, she had no power to resist in front of her elder sister.

Yingying and Bobo, who were also powerless against Ai, drooped their ears in grievance after hearing what Ai said. Their pitiful appearance seemed to be telling about their "tragic experience".

They looked at Hanyu Kusunoki pitifully with their big watery eyes, trying to get a little sympathy from him.

"It's no use being cute~"

Hanyu Kusunoki flicked her nose and said, "But..."

He produced a small bowl of specially made rice pudding and placed it in front of Yingying: "You can eat this."

"Bu-yi! (???????)?"

Yingying immediately cheered happily, dived into the pudding and started eating it.

"Bobo, yours."

"wave~"

Bobo happily caught the flying pudding.

Seeing this, the empress hit the glass of the fish tank in dissatisfaction, as if protesting "Why don't I have it?"

Seeing this, Hanyu Nan couldn't help laughing, and also conjured up a small plate of Lingmi cookies, crushed them and sprinkled them into the fish tank, and said with a smile: "Lady Empress, please enjoy ~"

The empress then enjoyed the meal with satisfaction, her posture as elegant as if she was attending a royal dinner.

Xia Mei was amused by this scene: "They are so cute!"

"You're the only one who thinks they're cute..." A certain loli complained without any self-awareness, "A glutton, a big sister, and a tsundere..."

As she spoke, she secretly complained, but she didn't realize that these three titles, in a sense, could actually be applied to her.

The dinner was held in a pleasant atmosphere.

Xia Mei shared interesting stories since the store opened, Mingmei added a few words from time to time, and although Xiao Ai didn't talk much, she would occasionally interrupt. Hanyu Kusunoki was responsible for adding food and pouring water for everyone, just like the male host.

Uh...he is the only male owner!

……

After dinner, the old housekeeper called on time.

"Miss, it's getting late. Do you need me to send a car to pick you up?"

Natsumi Kosaka held her cell phone, glanced secretly at Hanyu Kusunoki, and then looked at the gourmet cell baking oven in the kitchen that she had been thinking about all the time, her eyes full of reluctance.

"I……"

Before she finished, Mingmei came over and said gently, "Xiamei, why don't you stay here tonight? We can use the gourmet cell baking oven to make midnight snacks together later. Don't you want to try out its functions more?"

"Can I?" Xia Mei was excited for a moment, but then hesitated, "Will it be too much of a bother..."

The old butler on the other end of the phone: "..." (Silence)

Hanyu Kusunoki added at the right moment: "The guest rooms are ready, don't worry."

Xia Mei immediately said to the phone: "Grandpa, I'm staying here tonight! Don't worry about me!"

Old housekeeper: "..." (long sigh)

"Miss, you should at least be more reserved..."

The old butler spoke earnestly, his slightly weathered voice revealing a hint of helplessness.

Xia Mei: "Eh? But Mingmei invited me!"

Old housekeeper: "..." (holding his forehead)

Do you think I'm old and confused?

In the end, the old housekeeper could only compromise helplessly: "Then... Miss, please be safe and remember to come back early tomorrow."
