Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at them.
Erina Nakiri felt extremely embarrassed internally and said indignantly, "Hisako, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Erina-san."
Hisako Arato clearly felt that asking so directly was a bit inappropriate, but after hesitating, she still said, "This morning, I saw that Erina-san looked a bit pale, rubbing her stomach from time to time, and sneezing, so I asked."
"I just caught a slight cold."
Erina Nakiri was a bit embarrassed and quickly explained.
Speaking of which, she was a bit angry. Yesterday, Satou dragged her to soak in the bathroom for quite a while, causing the water to turn cold in the end.
That guy was... in good spirits the next day, but she caught a cold because of it. Just thinking about it made her angry.
"Oh, so that's how it is?"
Hisako Arato breathed a sigh of relief, smiling awkwardly, "I thought Erina-san accidentally got pregnant."
"Hmm..., it shouldn't be, right?"
Erina Nakiri touched her stomach and mumbled softly.
"By the way, Erina-san, do you and Satou usually have any... protective measures?"
Hisako Arato suddenly leaned close to her ear and asked softly.
"Protective measures? What are those?"
Erina Nakiri stared at her blankly.
"Oh, Miss Erina, you... you don't know, do you?"
Hisako Arato looked at her in horror, her words stammering.
"Yes.
What's wrong?"
Erina Nakiri looked utterly bewildered.
Hisako Arato: ""
Oh my goodness, what did I just find out?! Beside them, Alice Nakiri, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, felt a sudden pang of guilt and hid behind her Mother.
"However, this time, the Cabbage is growing really well!"
Leonora Nakiri gave her daughter a strange look, then said with a smile, "Today's lunch will be this.
Let me treat you to my cooking."
"Oh, really? Can we taste Lady Reioura's cooking?"
Tadokoro Megumi, Ryoko Sakaki, and others who had come to help with the harvest were all very happy and full of anticipation for the cooking of this... Head Chef of the Far Moon International Department.
"Mm, Aunt's cooking skills are excellent."
Satou said with a smile.
"Oh, Satou, have you eaten Lady Reioura's cooking before?"
Tadokoro Megumi turned her head and asked in surprise, "Mm, I eat it often."
Satou said with a smile, whenever he went to Alice's house for dinner, his Mother-in-law was always full of enthusiasm for him, constantly putting food on his plate.
"Host has completed the first achievement mission, obtaining one Vegetable Fantasy Ingredient Gift Pack, do you want to open it?"
At this moment, the system's voice rang out.
Satou excused himself and went into the kitchen, saying, "Open it."
"Host opened the Ingredient Gift Pack and obtained S-rank ingredients, Ox Tongue Dandelion and potato pork chop."
"Oh, I even got two!"
Satou was very happy, and then, the two ingredients appeared before him.
The Ox Tongue Dandelion was about twenty centimeters tall, with a small red flower blooming on its emerald green leaves.
In fact, though it was called a Dandelion, its shape was more like a daisy.
As for the potato pork chop, it was several potato pieces connected to a root, looking similar to ordinary potatoes, just a bit larger and darker in color.
Subsequently, Satou opened the ingredient descriptions.
"Ox Tongue Dandelion Ingredient Level: S Ingredient Description: A Dandelion whose petals have the taste and texture of beef tongue. The beef tongue flavor has no fishiness at all, possessing a unique fragrance, extremely tender and delicious.
Origin: Gourmet Captive."
"potato pork chop Ingredient Level: S Ingredient Description: Natural pork chops that grow like potatoes.
Although they feel like ordinary pork chops, their taste is far superior to ordinary pork chops.
Natural potato pork chops are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, as if they have been fried.
Origin: Gourmet Captive."
These two ingredients were very easy to cultivate, which meant Satou now had two more fantasy ingredients he could grow, making him very happy.
He cut off the flower of the Ox Tongue Dandelion, discarding the remaining leaves into the trash can; only this part of the ingredient was edible, the other parts were not.
At this moment, Leonora Nakiri also walked in, carrying an Almond Cabbage the size of two or three heads, her vision obscured by the Cabbage. Coupled with the mud on her long boots, as soon as she stepped onto the smooth tile floor, she suddenly slipped, let out a soft cry, and fell to the ground.
Satou saw her, quickly rushed over, and caught her in his arms, the Cabbage falling to the ground.
"Aunt, are you alright?"
Satou asked, there was a pleasant scent on her body.
"Mmm..., I'm fine."
Leonora Nakiri's face couldn't help but flush slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Oh, Mom, what are you two doing?"
Alice Nakiri also walked in, looking at the two of them with suspicion.
"Oh, Aunt accidentally fell just now."
Satou quickly explained.
"This time, it's really thanks to Satou."
Leonora Nakiri also nodded, her expression seeming a bit awkward.
Alice Nakiri still looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Oh dear, it's time to make lunch.
I almost forgot, how annoying.
Right."
Leonora Nakiri caressed her cheek, her young and beautiful face like that of a maiden.
Satou and she exchanged glances, their gazes both a little unnatural, and then they both walked into the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Not long after, Satou made several dishes using Ox Tongue Dandelion and potato pork chop. Besides... asking everyone to taste them, he also wanted to test the characteristics of these two new ingredients.
