"Hmm, I have to say, this dish called sweet and sour pork, its taste is really good. And this tamagoyaki with sugar..."
"So, eating can be so relaxing for the mind and body?"
After eating Yuuko's cooking, Raiden Ei showed a surprised expression, continuously exclaiming.
Clearly, she was very satisfied with Yuuko's dishes.
"She really does have a sweet tooth, it seems my decision to make sweet dishes was correct..." Yuuko smiled and said, "That's good, eat more."
Raiden Ei nodded, then continued to lower her head and eat slowly.
At this moment, Yuuko looked in the direction of the corridor and whispered:
"At this time, the little fox should be back by now, why isn't she back yet?"
"Little fox?" Raiden Ei's eating motion paused slightly.
"That's a fox I keep, she's especially cute. She just loves to run outside and play during the day, only coming home at night," Yuuko laughed.
"Is that so." Raiden Ei fell into contemplation, somehow feeling that the little fox Yuuko mentioned was a bit off.
Her mind inexplicably kept associating it with that scum woman, Yae Miko.
"Hahaha, she's a very cute little fellow. When she comes home later, I'll definitely let her give you a hug," Yuuko said with another laugh.
Raiden Ei nodded and said nothing more.
At this moment, a faint sound came from the corridor.
Yuuko smiled, "Ah, speak of the devil, and she appears."
Raiden Ei also turned her head, looking towards the corridor.
Then, she saw a small pink fox excitedly rushing into the living room entrance.
And then... for some reason, the fox suddenly froze there.
Raiden Ei also froze... "Little fox, you're finally home," Yuuko said with a smile, standing up and picking up the little fox.
He then walked in front of Raiden Ei, handed the little fox to her, and said with a smile:
"Here, this is my little fox, isn't she cute? Give her a hug."
Only then did Yuuko notice Raiden Ei's very strange expression: "What's wrong?"
Reminded, Raiden Ei snapped back to attention, shaking her head: "Nothing, just a bit surprised."
Yuuko felt a bit confused but didn't pay too much attention: "Then give her a hug."
However, at this moment, the little fox inexplicably began to fuss, seemingly unwilling to be held by Raiden Ei.
Seeing this, Yuuko was about to offer some comforting words.
A purple light suddenly shone in Raiden Ei's eyes, and she said lightly, "Let me do it."
Ignoring the little fox's fussing, Raiden Ei forcibly picked up the little fox, then her hand glowed purple... and she began to 'stroke' the little fox's head.
Raiden Ei's method was very 'gentle'.
The little fox, who had been fussing, quieted down instantly after being 'gently' 'stroked' a few times... At this moment, the little fox's mental state had completely exploded.
Leaving aside why Sayu and Raiden Ei were at home, happily enjoying dinner with Yuuko.
Now being 'gently' 'stroked' by Raiden Ei like this, she was utterly furious.
But with Yuuko right here, she couldn't reveal her true form and have a real 1v1 brawl with Raiden Ei.
She could only continue to be held by Raiden Ei, enduring the humiliation.
As she stroked, a faint smile appeared on Raiden Ei's face:
"Indeed, everyone has an unknown side, Yuuko, thank you for showing me so much."
"Ah?" Yuuko was stunned, clearly not understanding what Raiden Ei meant by that.
"It's nothing." Raiden Ei shook her head, then placed the now bristling little fox on the ground.
The little fox, regaining her freedom, immediately jumped onto Yuuko's shoulder and bared her teeth at Raiden Ei... After all, after what just happened, how could she not bare her teeth? ...Now the little fox just wanted Raiden Ei to leave quickly... Raiden Ei ignored the hostility displayed by the little fox, instead stood up and said:
"Then, I shall not disturb you further. I need to return and rethink the definition of eternity."
Hearing this, the little fox finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that Raiden Ei would just stay at home!
She wished Raiden Ei would leave quickly!
"It's so late, aren't you staying here for the night?" Yuuko asked in surprise.
Little fox: "???"
You want her to stay!?
The little fox instantly started fussing... Yuuko only managed to calm her down with great difficulty, then looked at Raiden Ei, waiting for her answer.
Raiden Ei's lips seemed to be curling wildly, her expression slightly stiff: "No need... Today I have witnessed enough new things, now it's time to go back and continue thinking."
"Is that so." Yuuko nodded, not intending to persuade her to stay further.
"Then, I shall take my leave first." With that, Raiden Ei walked towards the exit of the house.
Seeing Raiden Ei leave, Yuuko also gently let out a sigh of relief.
Regardless, he had shown Raiden Ei quite a lot today.
He couldn't say it would immediately change her mind, but it should at least make her less stubborn.
After seeing Raiden Ei off, Yuuko returned to the living room.
Only to find... in the living room, the little fox and Sayu were staring at each other, both with very unfriendly eyes... "First she's quarreling with Raiden Ei, now she's starting with Sayu again..."
Yuuko sighed helplessly, walked over, and said:
"You two, eat properly."
It was long known that Sayu and the little fox didn't get along, so Yuuko wasn't too surprised to see them glaring at each other.
Afterwards, with Yuuko's mediation, they finally continued to eat this extremely harmonious dinner.
After dinner, Yuuko saw that it was late outside and thought that a young girl like Sayu might not be safe alone outside.
So he considered letting Sayu stay for the night.
However, the little fox strongly protested, so he eventually gave up on the idea.
Moreover, Sayu didn't seem to have any intention of staying either.
After Sayu also left, Yuuko washed all the dinner dishes before returning to the living room and sitting down, letting out a heavy sigh.
To be honest, after everything that happened today, he was also a bit tired.
At this moment, the little fox jumped in front of him, constantly shaking her body, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction.
"Hahaha, are you still angry? Why do you get angry every time we have guests at home? Wouldn't it be better with more people and more lively?"
Yuuko smiled, picked up the little fox, and then began to pet this fluffy, cute creature.
The little fox was originally very displeased, but under Yuuko's miraculous petting technique, she quickly calmed down.
While petting, Yuuko softly said:
"It's getting late, time for a bath."
