"So, Satou, if you've had a fight with Miss Erina and she's not washing your clothes, I could certainly help you wash them."
Ryoko Sakaki brushed her hair behind her ear and said with a smile.
"Oh? You want to wash my clothes?" Satou looked at her strangely.
"Ryoko, is this a confession?" Yuki Yoshino looked at her in surprise, then patted her shoulder and said, "I'm rooting for you!"
"Ugh." Ryoko Sakaki's face flushed. She gave Yuuki a chiding look. "It's not like that at all."
She clasped her hands behind her back, her full, beautiful figure displayed. "It's just to thank Satou for the butterfly he gave me last time. I really liked it! So, if there's ever any hard work like washing clothes, washing dishes, or shopping, just call me."
"Tsk tsk, isn't that just a girlfriend's job?" Yuki Yoshino couldn't help but chuckle mischievously. "I can't believe Ryoko sold herself to Satou for just one butterfly."
"Haha, that's not just a girlfriend, but a personal nanny too!" Yukihira Soma joined in the laughter.
Ryoko Sakaki's ears immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she gave them an annoyed glare.
"In that case, I really got a good deal." Satou also smiled. Just a butterfly, and he got a personal nanny.
Of course, while he said that, he didn't actually have any tasks he wanted to ask Ryoko to do, but he appreciated the sentiment.
"Since that's the case, I can't not offer something either. If there's any work in the future, just call me." Yuki Yoshino patted Satou's shoulder and generously offered.
"Hmm, do you want to be my personal nanny too?" Satou looked at her amusingly, teasing, "Can you really do any job?"
"Mm-hm." Yuki Yoshino nodded. "Of course, I won't wash your underwear, though. You can ask Ryoko to wash those."
Ryoko Sakaki stuck out her tongue, a playful smile on her face. "I won't wash them either. Let Megumi wash them."
Tadokoro Megumi, who was nearby, couldn't help but blush, shyly stealing a glance at Satou.
"In that case, here, this is your first job." Satou took off his jacket, handed it to her, and said with a teasing smile.
To his surprise, Yuki Yoshino actually took it and said, "I'll give it back to you tomorrow after it's dry."
Satou hadn't expected her to be serious and was quite surprised.
"Hey, Satou, do you have anything you need washed?" Ryoko Sakaki also looked at him eagerly, clearly wanting to contribute something.
"Um, I can help you wash them too, Satou." Tadokoro Megumi said somewhat timidly.
Looking at the two girls, Satou was a bit exasperated. "I don't have any clothes on me! Am I supposed to take off my shirt and pants for you?"
The two girls' faces couldn't help but flush.
After class, upon returning to the Tsundere's mansion, Satou eagerly entered the kitchen and took out his reward for this time.
Immediately, a large cleaver appeared before Satou.
The name of this Seven Star Knives is Jumon. Although its size is not as large as Pojun, it is still much larger compared to ordinary kitchen knives.
"Hmm, this Seven Star Knives should be for processing medium-sized ingredients, right? It's also good for chopping bones." Satou nodded with satisfaction. This was already the sixth Seven Star Knives he had obtained. He only needed to collect one more to complete the entire set of Seven Star Knives.
As someone with a collecting addiction, he definitely had to collect all the remaining ones.
Next was the Gourmet Gift Pack.
"Host has opened the Gourmet Gift Pack and obtained A-grade ingredient, Mineral Earthworm, and A-grade ingredient, Cotton Candy Pumpkin."
"Mineral Earthworm, what is that?" Seeing the newly acquired ingredient, Satou couldn't help but be stunned.
Apparently, earthworms couldn't be eaten, could they? And they couldn't produce ingredients either.
A milky white, very cute earthworm appeared before him, about 15 centimeters long.
Ordinary earthworms are a bit slimy and have an unpleasant smell, but this earthworm was very clean and had no strange odor.
Then, Satou opened the ingredient description.
"Mineral Earthworm
Ingredient Level: A-grade
Ingredient Description: A peculiar earthworm whose entire body is composed of up to 99% water, and can survive by only ingesting water. Its special metabolic organs can purify all harmful pollutants from the water it drinks. Mineral water extracted from several Mineral Earthworms is an excellent pure drinking water beverage.
Additionally, any farmland where Mineral Earthworms reside can become fertile land rich in excellent water quality. Therefore, Mineral Earthworms are also known as 'Little Masters of the Farmland.'
Origin: Gourmet Captive."
"So that's it. Not only can it purify water quality, but it can also make farmland more suitable for cultivation?" Seeing the ingredient description, Satou's eyes lit up.
As for pure drinking water, Satou had previously obtained the Elf Sacred Spring. However, he later heard from Thor that the Elf Holy Maiden often bathed in the Sacred Spring, which meant that the so-called Elf Sacred Spring was actually the Elf Holy Maiden's bathwater...
Although the Elf Holy Maiden was certainly of captivating beauty and able to bring down kingdoms, it always felt a bit strange to drink it.
Moreover, Thor's every visit was relatively dangerous, and the water she brought back was usually not enough for drinking and cooking.
But now with the Mineral Earthworm, Satou, Erina, and Thor could all drink excellent quality drinking water every day, and it would also be enough for cooking, and even bathing and washing clothes.
And the ability to make farmland suitable for cultivation was also something Satou valued greatly.
Although he now had quite a few fantasy ingredients, most of them were meats, with very few vegetables.
If he made good use of this, he would often be able to eat high-quality vegetables in the future.
After finishing with the Mineral Earthworm, Satou turned his attention to the Cotton Candy Pumpkin.
The pumpkin was very small, only about 10 centimeters.
"Cotton Candy Pumpkin
Ingredient Level: A-grade
Ingredient Description: The fruit is much smaller than a regular pumpkin, but because its sugar content is concentrated, it tastes sweeter than marshmallows. At the same time, the flesh is as soft and elastic as marshmallows, hence its name. Even eaten raw, its taste is no less exquisite than the pumpkin desserts sold at high-end pastry shops.
Origin: Gourmet Captive."
"A good ingredient." Satou's eyes lit up.
At this moment, Erina Nakiri also returned.
She walked into the kitchen, saw Satou, and was stunned for a moment, then she started to laugh.
"Satou, your jacket is missing again?"
