"Since there's nothing wrong, let's go to sleep."
Seeing Yotsuya Miko's unspoken difficulty, Lin wisely didn't press the matter, smiling as he stood up.
"Where will I sleep?"
Yotsuya Miko looked around.
"The second-floor master bedroom."
"The second-floor master bedroom..."
Yotsuya Miko blinked at his words, then asked hesitantly:
"Um, where will you sleep?"
"The second-floor master bedroom, of course."
Lin looked at her with a knowing smile.
"Ah!!!"
Yotsuya Miko froze for a moment, her eyes widening.
So, she was really going to share a room with Lin?!
If they were sharing a room, what would happen next?
The thought of those thrilling, heart-pounding, R-rated scenes instantly made her face flush.
Like a perfectly ripe peach.
"Let's go."
Lin smiled slightly.
Then he picked up Yotsuya Miko in a bridal carry.
The room's lighting was dim.
Only a few faint stars slipped into the room through the gaps in the blinds.
A dark cloud quietly obscured the moon.
The night grew even deeper.
As a sliver of dawn broke, the colors of night began to recede.
On the oversized, soft double bed, Yotsuya Miko was curled up in Lin's arms, covered by a blanket.
Lin slowly opened his eyes.
Glancing at Yotsuya Miko still sleeping peacefully in his arms, Lin's lips curved slightly, his gaze tender.
A moment later, he summoned the Codex of All Things.
Nickname: Yotsuya Miko
Level: Blue
Description: Super Spiritual Sight Girl
Obtained: Sky Magic
...
"Sky Magic?"
Looking at what he had obtained, Lin felt a little confused.
What was the function of this magic?
Could it be flight, or something else?
Where did this magic originate?
The scope was too broad; he couldn't guess.
However, he didn't waste brain cells, as he would know the ability's effects and origin once he fused them.
He closed his eyes to fuse the ability.
The process produced no sound.
About three seconds later, Lin opened his eyes, a look of realization dawning on his face.
It turned out this Sky Magic originated from Fairy Tail.
It was the magic wielded by Wendy Marvell in that world's cosmology.
A healing magic derived from Sky Dragon Slayer Magic, possessing special curative effects.
Its effects included, but were not limited to, detoxification, fever reduction, and wound healing.
It could even treat balance issues, resolving motion sickness.
The ability had one drawback.
Its usage consumed a bit of energy.
And the higher the difficulty of the treatment, the higher the consumption.
However, this drawback was non-existent for Lin.
Because he had infinite energy.
"Excellent, truly excellent."
Having obtained a healing magic with outstanding effects, Lin's joyful mood elevated even further.
He gently kissed Yotsuya Miko's forehead.
Carefully separating from her, he got up, took a clean bathrobe from the wardrobe, and then left the bedroom.
Primal Force circulated throughout his body, instantly making him feel refreshed.
Only then did he put on the bathrobe.
Leaving the bedroom, he went to the first-floor kitchen.
He took out the ingredients needed for breakfast from the refrigerator and began to prepare them.
Lin made steamed buns for himself.
He took out five hundred grams of low-gluten flour, added two hundred seventy grams of water and thirty grams of milk.
He added five grams of high-sugar-tolerant yeast, fifteen grams of sugar, and ten grams of baking powder.
After stirring evenly, he waited for it to proof.
Then he minced pork, three parts fat to seven parts lean, added seasonings, and stirred it vigorously with garlic water.
Finally, he added chopped green onions and mixed it into a filling.
While waiting for the dough to proof, Lin thought of Yotsuya Miko.
So, he washed some red dates and red beans, and together with millet, he began to simmer Jujube Red Bean Porridge.
Once the dough was proofed, Lin began to knead it.
Kneading required gently working in one direction to expel the air.
After kneading, the dough was pressed into wrappers, and he started making steamed buns.
Although Lin had not specifically studied cooking,
by cooking for himself daily, he gradually developed a certain level of culinary skill.
After all, as long as one doesn't have a talent for making dark cuisine, understanding a recipe and following instructions makes failure very unlikely.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect; once unfamiliar, twice familiar, just do it a few times.
As long as you try enough times and don't blindly add your own 'inspiration' while cooking, your culinary skills will improve.
Without aspiring to be a grand chef, with diligent practice, opening a small home-style restaurant would be no problem.
After wrapping each meat-filled bun, they could be steamed over high heat for fifteen minutes until ready.
As for the porridge, due to insufficient time, Lin could only use his superpower to assist, drastically shortening the required cooking time.
When the buns were out of the steamer, Lin, with his "ruthless iron hands," grabbed a steaming hot meat bun.
In the process, he used a minuscule amount of Blue's Order power to cool it down, bringing it to a warm state.
One bite, and the rich aroma filled his nostrils.
The outer skin was fluffy, and the meat filling was plump and juicy, leaving one feeling utterly content.
Time slowly passed.
At seven in the morning, the sun was bright.
"Mm..."
On the bed, Yotsuya Miko's eyelashes suddenly fluttered, a soft hum escaping her throat, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Her eyes held a hazy confusion.
She seemed not fully awake, her mind still a blank.
As she blinked, her consciousness and memories quickly sharpened.
Her expression changed drastically, and she abruptly sat up.
Recalling the madness of the previous night.
Her face couldn't help but redden.
Like cherry blossoms blooming under the sun, beautiful and enchanting.
Not seeing Lin's figure, a faint sense of unease suddenly welled up in Yotsuya Miko's heart.
Click, the door suddenly opened.
Yotsuya Miko instinctively grabbed the blanket to cover herself.
Lin returned to the bedroom, holding something in his hands, and seeing Yotsuya Miko sitting up, he smiled slightly and said:
"Good morning, Miko."
"Lin..."
Yotsuya Miko's eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth as if to speak, then hesitated.
Her face flushed again.
"Today's breakfast is porridge and steamed buns."
Lin smiled and walked towards the bed.
Seeing Lin getting closer, and remembering that she was still undressed, Yotsuya Miko's face grew even redder.
Her eyes flickered, filled with shyness.
She could only pull the blanket, which was shielding her, tighter.
Lin sat down by the bed and said in a gentle tone:
"I'll feed you, ah~~~."
As he spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of Jujube Red Bean Porridge and offered it.
"...Thank you."
Yotsuya Miko was silent for a moment, her eyes flickering, then she finally thanked him with a blush, accepting the feeding.
Warm and sweet.
It felt like she had eaten honey.
The slight feeling of unease that had arisen in her heart earlier completely vanished.
As if it had never appeared.
Watching Lin gently feed her, her gaze subtly changed without her realizing it.
The unease in her heart slowly dissipated.
Eating the porridge Lin had cooked.
She felt her sore, weak body seemed to be regaining its vitality.
