Chapter 169

"Ah, Mashiro!" Eriri complained, why was she touching her head when she and Utaha were fighting each other, she had already lost her momentum.

　　Compared with the embarrassment just now, the atmosphere in the living room is now much better, and she was successfully bullied by Fou.

　　"It's a very cute creature, may I touch it?" Megumi suddenly appeared beside Yukino, who was almost startled by the sudden voice, and shouted an 'ah'.

　　"Please use it." Mash nodded.

Megumi thanked her, and moved towards Fou.

　　Whether because of her low sense of existence or because of her strong affinity, Fou didn't resist, but was still caressed by Megumi.

　　Fou doesn't like dealing with humans, being able to see interactions with Yukino, but Megumi is accepted by Fou, which is very rare.

　　...

　　Ryuuji brought the dishes to the table, and this time he showed his true skill, at least on the level of the dishes Yukihara Joichiro made in the restaurant.

　　After cooking, Ryuji went to call Jeanne Alter and Gilgamesh, but both of them refused.

Jeanne Alter because she hates crowds, while Gilgamesh because 'ants don't deserve to eat with this king'.

　　In contrast, Nero is much better. She is also a king but he doesn't have the aura of Gilgamesh. They eat together at the very 'friendly' Yukino.

　　Sending dinner to Sagiri's door as usual, Ryuji knocked on the door, and the cute little sister showed her head.

　　"Many guests have come to the house, do you want to come down to meet them?" Ryuji suggested.

　　"No!" Sagiri shook her head. She lost on her way out.

　　Ryuji said with a slight smile: "Utako Sensei is also here."

　　Sagiri was slightly surprised, "Utako Sensei?!"

　　As a fan of [Love Metronome], Sagiri was very curious about Kasumi Utako's real face, and almost walked out of the room with half a foot.

　　"Onii-chan~" Sagiri launched a cute attack on Ryuji. Obviously, she didn't want to go out or miss her chance to meet Kasumi Utako.

　　Ryuji was helpless, he knew this would be the outcome no matter what, he had no illusions about Sagiri walking out of the room right now.

　　"I'll ask you later." He patted Sagiri's head affectionately, and Ryuji put down his cooking and came down.

　　"Hehehe." Sagiri touched where Ryuji had just touched, showing a goofy and happy smile.

　　When Ryuji returned to the living room, Marie was already back, and she was so friendly that she quickly got along with other girls, and the imaginary Shuraba scene didn't happen.

　　"Marie is back."

　　Seeing Marie chatting enthusiastically with Yuigahama, and Eriri. Ryuji felt no need for an introduction.

　　When everyone is here, dinner can start.

　　Even though there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air, there was harmony at the table, Eriri and the others were all interested in Ryuji's cooking.

　　"I didn't even know Ryuji's cooking was so good."

　　As a childhood friend, Eriri had never eaten Ryuji's cooking, and could glimpse the attributes of the defeated dog.

　　"Other than indicating that you are not welcome, do you have any other meaning in your words?" Utaha said sarcastically.

　　This is daily communication between the two. Although they appear to be enemies, they are actually very good friends... Maybe.

　　On the other hand, Yuigahama was sitting across from Yukino, but Yukino kept staring at Fou, as if she wanted to eat Fou...

　　After eating, say match.

　　After dinner, since there was still class tomorrow, everyone offered to leave. Yukino is reluctant to let Fou go, and wants to stay with Fou a little longer.

Yuigahama and Yukino left first, while Eriri and Utaha were delayed for a few moments due to mutual hatred.

　　"Utaha Senpai." Ryuji called out to Utaha at the entrance.

　　"What is it?" Utaha turned around and asked.

　　"I told you my little sister is also your fan. She really wants to meet you."

　　Utaha's eyes are shining with brilliance, and the competitive pressure is too great now, so it is a good choice to start with the Ryuji little sister. Look at Eriri, because she has a good relationship with Mashiro, she almost stayed over today!

　　"Of course not a problem." Utaha maintains her mature smile, and strategy begins with the little sister.

　　"But I have one condition."

　　"You say."

　　Utaha smiled and pretended to be embarrassed: "Anyway, it's really late now, if I delay a bit, the way home will be unsafe, so can I trouble Hyakki-kun to drive me home later?"

　　In light novels, boys sending girls home is a well-known scene, and many events occur under such circumstances.

　　"Uh, but..."

　　"Wait!"

　　Before Ryuji could agree, Eriri, who had already walked out of the gate, returned.

　　The air seemed to become scorched again...
