Erina Nakiri was so angry that she couldn't help but stomp hard on Satou's foot, glaring at him with a pout, her cheeks puffed out like a bun.
Satou gasped in pain and quickly said, "You really are beautiful. I'm complimenting you."
"Oh? I… I'm sorry."
Erina Nakiri's face flushed. She quickly squatted down and asked with some concern, "Does your foot still hurt? Do you want me to rub it for you?"
"I don't know, but it hurts a lot."
Satou said with a serious expression, pretending to be in great pain.
"No way? Quickly, let me help you to the sofa to sit down."
Erina Nakiri was immediately alarmed and quickly helped Satou, walking towards the living room.
Satou deliberately limped, leaning his entire weight on the Tsundere. He felt her body was fragrant and soft as she helped him sit down on the sofa.
Then, Erina Nakiri placed Satou's foot on her lap and massaged it with her small hand, asking at the same time, "How is it? Does it still hurt?"
"Hmm, it hurts a lot, but it feels much better with your massage."
Satou nodded solemnly while enjoying the foot massage from the Tsundere.
"Really? Then I'll massage a bit longer."
Erina Nakiri nodded and continued to rub his feet with her small hands.
Satou lay on the sofa, comfortably narrowing his eyes. Later, he simply placed his other foot on the Tsundere's soft lap, letting her nimble, fair, and tender hands gently massage him.
Erina Nakiri was wearing her school uniform, with two strands of golden hair playfully framing her fair, rosy cheeks. Her face was exquisitely beautiful and refined. A blue-purple butterfly charm material rested on her golden hair, its dreamlike wings spread open, resembling an exquisite bow.
Satou admired it for a while and found that the Tsundere looked truly beautiful with the butterfly charm material on, pure and lovely like a flower fairy.
"Satou, can I have this butterfly? It seems to really like me."
Erina Nakiri suddenly asked, then used her slender, fair fingers to take down the butterfly charm material and examine it closely.
It was clear that she really liked the butterfly charm material.
"Of course you can."
Satou said, as the butterfly charm material wasn't expensive anyway, "But, tonight."
He looked at her with a smile.
Erina Nakiri's pretty face flushed, and she glared at him irritably but didn't object.
"But what does this child usually eat?"
She asked, as she had never raised a butterfly before.
Before Satou could say anything, the system automatically explained, "Honey, fruit juice, milk, or sugar water, and other nutrient-rich liquid foods can all be its sustenance. It likes to stay in fragrant places and will recognize the first person who feeds it as its master. It usually stays on its master's collar, cuffs, or hair."
"So it likes to stay in fragrant places? No wonder it likes to stay on the Tsundere's head," Satou muttered. Erina's hair was indeed very fragrant; he often smelled it.
"Erina, the powder on its wings is actually a very valuable spice," Satou said at this point. "You can just feed it honey or milk normally."
"Really?"
Erina Nakiri was both surprised and delighted, becoming even more fond of the butterfly charm material.
Satou realized that the butterfly charm material was indeed a very suitable gift for girls: its appearance was noble and luxurious, it could be kept as a pet, worn as an accessory, and it was also very practical, like a portable sachet.
Besides Erina, Alice should also receive one, and Megumi shouldn't be left out.
As for Tohru, forget it; she definitely wouldn't need it, and Kanna would very likely eat it as food.
"Oh, the porridge seems to be ready."
Satou thought of something and quickly stood up, but before he reached the kitchen, he felt a murderous aura lingering on him.
"Satou, does your foot not hurt anymore?" Erina Nakiri said with a smile from behind him, but faint veins were throbbing on her fair forehead.
"Because you massaged it, so it's fine now," Satou said, feeling a bit guilty.
"You scoundrel, you're too hateful! You actually tricked me into massaging your foot for so long!" Erina Nakiri bit her silver teeth, too angry to speak.
She had been so worried about him earlier, letting him put his foot on her lap and gently massaging it for him, only to find out he had tricked her!
Satou had a headache, but fortunately, the Tsundere was rather silly and cute. After a little coaxing, she happily went to serve the dishes for him.
The flying shrimp meat was delicious. Although large, the meat was not tough at all, incredibly tender, tasting somewhat like a mix of king crab and lobster. Eating raw shrimp slices with a little mustard was incredibly good.
The fresh shrimp porridge, made with shrimp meat and shells infused with the butterfly charm material's spice, was equally delicious.
The butterfly charm material's phosphorescent powder was comparable to the finest spices; just a tiny bit could make the soup incredibly fragrant and flavorful.
Erina Nakiri couldn't stop eating, her rosy cheeks puffed out, as cute as a bun, stuffed with food.
"Is this shrimp meat? The texture is so tender. And is this faint, elegant fragrance the butterfly's spice?" She ate and asked curiously without stopping.
In the evening, Satou once again enjoyed the tenderness of the God Tongue.
The butterfly charm material rested in Erina's hair like an exquisite hairpin. She buried her head, sweat glistening on her fair cheeks.
"I say, Erina."
Satou said.
"Hm?" Erina Nakiri asked indistinctly, without lifting her head.
"You seem to have gotten a bit more skilled," Satou muttered.
Erina Nakiri lifted her face, gave him an annoyed glare, and then ground her pearly teeth before biting down.
The next day, Satou met up with Tadokoro Megumi and others in the classroom.
"Satou, have you finished practicing your knife skills?" Tadokoro Megumi asked with a smile.
"Yes, thank you for bringing me lunch every day," Satou said.
Although the break room became a battleground between Tadokoro Megumi and Alice every lunchtime because of this, Satou was still very touched by their thoughtfulness.
"It's nothing, as long as Satou likes to eat," Tadokoro Megumi smiled gently, without the oppressive feeling from yesterday.
"By the way, I have a gift for you," Satou suddenly said.
