Next, Hisako Arato also arrived, and the four of them got into the car together and headed back to Far Moon.
However, throughout the journey, Erina Nakiri merely sat with her long legs crossed, looking out the window expressionlessly.
Satou also became a bit silent.
"Huh? Why is the atmosphere so quiet? Shall the four of us play poker?"
Yukihira Soma pulled out a deck of poker cards, wanting to liven up the mood.
However, Erina Nakiri merely turned her head and looked at him with her violet pupils, devoid of any emotion, exuding the terrifying aura unique to the Far Moon Queen.
Yukihira Soma couldn't help but swallow.
What was wrong?
In the past, whenever poker was mentioned, didn't Miss Erina always say no, but then obediently sit down and eagerly wait for the cards to be dealt?
He glanced at Satou, who was also a bit quiet, and wondered if the two of them had argued?
He looked at Hisako Arato, but Hisako Arato was also a bit confused.
To be honest, even she herself had no experience in romance, and couldn't figure out what was going on between the two of them.
Just like that, Erina Nakiri looked out the window the entire way, her face expressionless, emanating a terrifying aura. The atmosphere inside the car was incredibly oppressive.
Yukihira Soma and Hisako Arato felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles, extremely uncomfortable.
Yukihira Soma even regretted it a bit. He thought, if only I had known, I wouldn't have come back with them. The atmosphere is too terrifying.
They finally arrived at Far Moon.
"Well then, Satou, I'll be going now."
Yukihira Soma glanced at Erina Nakiri with some trepidation and said, "Actually, if you two had a fight..."
At this moment, Erina Nakiri looked at him expressionlessly.
Yukihira Soma turned and left.
Hisako Arato also bid her farewell somewhat uncomfortably and went back.
"Then, Erina, let's go back."
Satou said.
Erina Nakiri didn't say a word and walked in by herself.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, Miltank and the other Pokémon surrounded them, one by one, looking very happy.
Evidently, after not seeing Satou and Erina Nakiri for several days, they missed them very much.
Before this, Satou had left them enough food. Pokémon aren't ordinary pets; they have their own intelligence and know how to take care of themselves.
At this moment, Combee flew over and handed him a heavy jar of honey.
"Oh, is this the honey you brewed these past few days?"
Satou's eyes lit up as he asked.
Combee happily circled around him.
Satou opened the jar and sniffed it. A fresh fragrance wafted out. This scent was definitely not something ordinary honey could compare to.
At this moment, Shuckle also ran over and led Satou to the refrigerator in the kitchen.
Satou opened the refrigerator and saw that it was filled with a lot of fruit juice.
"Is this the fruit juice you've saved up these past few days?"
Satou asked.
Shuckle nodded happily.
Satou picked up a bottle of fruit juice, opened it, and tasted it. Immediately, an unprecedented sweetness enveloped him.
"It's so delicious, better than all the fruit juice I've ever tasted."
Satou exclaimed.
At this moment, he remembered the Tsundere. He had wanted to call the Tsundere over to drink some together, but he couldn't find Erina Nakiri anywhere.
It seemed she had gone straight upstairs.
It appeared she still hadn't recovered from last night's events.
However, Satou could understand, after all, she was still just a fifteen-year-old girl.
"Host, the reward has been completed. Do you wish to claim the task?"
At this moment, the system's voice rang out.
Only then did Satou remember that he hadn't claimed the reward for his lodging and training task, so he said, "Claim."
"Host received a random Silver Recipe Pack. After opening, received one Stir-fried Twice Cooked Pork recipe."
"Host received a random Ingredient Pack. After opening, received one Red-haired Pig."
The system said.
Satou immediately opened the system description.
"Stir-fried Twice Cooked Pork
Recipe Level: Silver
Effect: Physical Strength
Effect Description: Even someone exhausted to the point of collapse will immediately feel full of energy after eating it."
"Red-haired Pig
Ingredient Level: B-rank
Ingredient Description: A giant pig covered in red hair. It possesses a strong physique and a fierce temperament. Its meat is extremely delicious, tender, and juicy. Just a slight grilling can bring out its most original flavor, making it a high-grade ingredient.
Origin: Gourmet Captive."
Satou was more focused on the ingredients.
Although he didn't get a high-grade ingredient this time, Satou noticed that this Red-haired Pig weighed several tons!
If measured purely by money, the price of this Red-haired Pig would exceed that of many A-class ingredients.
Satou had originally wanted to release this Red-haired Pig, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. He didn't want to completely destroy the Tsundere's kitchen.
Then Satou returned to his room.
As soon as he came back, a black shadow pounced on him like a vicious dog, knocking him to the ground.
Kanna shouted, "Satou, I want magic fried rice."
Satou was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Tohru also rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing Satou finally return, she showed a happy smile, "Welcome back, Satou!"
Satou smiled, then stood up from the ground, but Kanna was still hugging his leg and wouldn't let go.
Satou said helplessly, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll make you something to eat."
Subsequently, he went to the kitchen and made two large plates full of Yangzhou Fried Rice.
Kanna, having something to eat, immediately became well-behaved. After eating her fill, she went to play video games by herself.
At this moment, Satou remembered something and quickly opened the Apartment door. When he saw that it was still a prosperous urban scene outside, rather than some apocalyptic one, Satou breathed a sigh of relief.
He was very worried that after he returned, this world would have been completely destroyed by these two dragons.
At this moment, the news was playing on TV.
"Regarding the dozen or so earthquakes in recent days, the National Earthquake Monitoring Agency has issued a statement that they are purely natural phenomena and definitely not the end of the world! Please do not panic."
"Huh? So many earthquakes happened these past few days?"
Satou was slightly startled.
"It seems so."
Tohru nodded, "It seems this world is actually quite dangerous."
If the high-ranking officials of the country knew the truth, they would definitely cling to Satou's leg and cry tears of joy.
If you didn't come back, the world would have been destroyed.
