Chapter 51: Angel with a Face Full of Question Marks

"Dududududu!"

Tonight, the kitchen of Murata's house was filled with the usual sound of rapid vegetable chopping. The cold kitchen knife in the hands of the blonde girl hit the chopping board smoothly, quickly cutting the ingredients into beautiful slices, cubes, and even intricate carvings.

"Angel, your knife skills are amazing..."

Raiden Mei, who was frying chicken nuggets, raised her chopsticks and sighed for the nth time.

Before Angel arrived, Raiden Mei was responsible for the family's meals. She could only make dinner delicious, but with only one pair of hands, that was her limit.

After Angel came, the kitchen expert was added. With their joint efforts, the color, aroma, and taste of dinner rapidly improved, turning every meal into a delicious work of art.

Raiden Mei gently looked at Angel's petite back standing on the small stool, and her eyes suddenly darkened.

'In the past, she must have been so well-behaved and sensible, accompanying her mother to cook every day, right?'

Angel squinted her eyes and saw from the corner of her eye that Mei Raiden suddenly looked sad.

'What poor acting.'

'If I hadn't turned a blind eye, Mei's thoughts would not be hidden from those around her, right?'

Angel's hand paused almost imperceptibly, then she continued to process the ingredients, with a calm expression on her face.

She couldn't comfort Mei Raiden.

This was not just because she needed to hide her identity.

More importantly, Angel could understand Mei Raiden's innocence rationally. Just like a hostage tied with a bomb and put into a crowd without knowing it, you can't blame the disaster on the hostage. But emotionally, Angel in this world had personal pain she couldn't completely let go of.

So, for now, she can only leave it like this. Angel can only avoid resenting Mei Raiden now, and leave the rest to time.

"Shua!"

While thinking, Angel suddenly moved her wrist and threw out a chopstick like a lightning bolt, sticking it next to the hand of a white-haired girl.

"Wow!!!"

Kiana, who was squatting by the cupboard, was frightened and fell back.

When she came to her senses, a shadow shrouded Kiana's head, and looking up, she saw an expressionless blonde girl standing over her, holding a sharp and shiny kitchen knife, with water still dripping from the blade.

"Gudong!"

Kiana lay down, swallowed her saliva, scratched her head, and tried to explain with a silly smile:

"Well, I just came to ask how long it would take for dinner to be ready. I studied very hard today, so I'm quite hungry..."

Raiden Mei touched her forehead and shook her head.

Angel held a kitchen knife in one hand and grabbed Kiana's collar with the other, dragging her out the door, then pointed to the notice posted on the kitchen door:

[During meal preparation, flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes, dogs, and Kiana Kaslana are not allowed to enter.]

[——Angel]

Angel pointed at the notice, expressionless, slowly raised the kitchen knife, with a faint cold light flashing in her eyes.

Driven by survival instinct, the white-haired girl almost crossed half the living room in an instant and hid next to Himeko, who was sitting on the sofa.

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, isn't it okay? You continue to cook, I will definitely not steal food! I swear!"

Angel stared at the trembling hair peeking from the edge of the sofa, then after three seconds, her eyes moved to Himeko.

"Good evening, welcome home, Himeko~~"

Angel held the kitchen knife in both hands, smiled shyly, twisted her slender and petite body, and said sweetly.

Himeko waved her hand with a bright smile, as if she was used to it.

"Hey, I'm back, Angel!"

"Dinner will be ready soon, please wait a little longer."

"It's okay, take your time, please."

"Well, I'll continue cooking~~"

Angel turned around and went back to the kitchen with a sweet smile.

Kiana then poked her head out from behind the sofa, watching Angel walk into the kitchen with big, fearful eyes, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Kiana pouted her pink, crystal lips and complained:

"Damn it, what kind of differential treatment is this? Her eyes treat me like complete garbage! Am I not a human being?"

"Who told you to always secretly eat our food? Last time, you even stole our luxurious sushi and turned it into vegetarian rice balls. You deserve it!"

"I reflected on it later! Didn't she post a notice to humiliate me and force me to do another make-up exam week training!?"

"I think it's good. Finally, there's someone in this house who can handle you. You don't know how relaxed Mei and I now are! Hahaha!"

Himeko laughed heartily and patted Kiana's shoulder.

Kiana didn't dare to say anything except muttering.

After all, Himeko doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. Mei is soft-hearted towards her, but Angel is different.

Angel will really take action against her!

And every time she is in the wrong and can't beat others, she has no choice but to suffer.

After experiencing it several times, Kiana has completely understood: Angel when not angry is a cute little doll with a great touchy feeling, and she can be hugged and rubbed to heal all the unhappiness of a person away, but when Angel is angry, she can only run as far as possible and pray that Angel will calm down soon.

Soon, a dazzling array of delicacies was placed on the table.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

Only Bronya, who came late, chewed and swallowed mechanically throughout the whole process, as if she had a lot on her mind.

"Pork rib soup is rich in calcium and vitamin B, which can effectively relieve stress."

When Bronya was distracted, Angel's serious and confident words came from beside her.

Bronya turned her head and saw Angel slowly pushing a bowl of fragrant pork rib soup towards her.

"Angel..."

The mood that was always calm and indifferent was repeatedly pierced by Welt's remarks today, and the bowl of soup handed over by Angel, along with the concern conveyed in her clear eyes, finally completely shattered Bronya's state of mind.

Bronya lowered her head, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rippled in her eyes.

'Mother, even if I know the truth, what can I do? The mistake has been made, we owe too much, how can I let Angel...'

Angel, closest to Bronya at the dinner table, was the only one who fully captured Bronya's changes.

Angel was flustered and didn't know what to do.

And Bronya hugged her tightly.

"Bronya?"

"Angel... Don't be so nice to Bronya... I'm sorry..."

"???"

At this moment, Angel launched an off-field call for help from all the Angels, but after brainstorming, they only came up with the same face full of question marks.

In the end, Angel, who didn't know why, could only hug Bronya back, patting her back gently, with a confused look on her face. But for the trembling little girl, Angel had to comfort her as much as possible.

Raiden Mei, Kiana, and Himeko looked at each other for a while, silently realizing something, but they were powerless to do anything except eat in silence

This dinner ended with Angel's confusion and everyone else's discomfort and guilt.
