"Zhenna, who are these two?" Shizori, who walked out of the kitchen, was immediately attracted by Fujino and Nanami.
She couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful the two people were. Were they Zhenna's classmates?
"Sister Shizori, these are my friends."
Zhenna was smart and didn't say that she had met Fujino and Nanami on the road; otherwise, she would definitely be in for a lecture afterward.
"So they are Zhenna's friends." Shizori revealed a smile. "Please sit down. I'm just preparing lunch. How about you stay for a meal?"
"Yes! Sister Fujino, you guys should stay for a meal! Sister Shizori's cooking is amazing!" Zhenna said excitedly, clearly hoping that the two of them would stay.
Fujino naturally wouldn't refuse the invitation from the two. Her original goal was Shizori, and now there was a perfect reason to stay openly, saving her the effort of using magic.
The two sat on the sofa in the living room, and Shizori handed them two glasses of juice.
It had to be said that Shizori was truly very attractive; every gesture was filled with a powerful affinity that made people relax involuntarily.
"Please wait a moment; the food will be ready soon," Shizori smiled at Fujino and Nanami.
"It's fine." Fujino smiled slightly and took a sip of the juice. It tasted quite good; it must have been freshly squeezed.
"Let me help too. I've cooked before, so it won't be a problem for me to assist Shizori."
"How can that be! You are guests!"
Shizori's cheeks puffed up slightly, looking very cute, but then Shizori realized her actions, and her cheeks returned to normal in the blink of an eye, though a slight blush appeared on her delicate face.
I don't know why, but in front of Fujino and Nanami, Shizori felt very relaxed, as if she were facing her own family, and she had made such a gesture involuntarily.
"You guys sit here first. Zhenna has gone to change clothes and will be down soon. I'll go to the kitchen first." After saying that, Shizori walked away.
Seeing this, Fujino couldn't help but smile and reached out to stroke Nanami, who was beside her. "How does it feel?"
Nanami tilted her head, her fair, delicate fingers tapping her chin. "A very interesting person."
"Yes, quite an interesting person." Fujino stroked Nanami's hair vigorously and added, "Besides that?"
"A very good vessel," Nanami said. "She is very compatible with the power of Spirits."
Hearing this, Fujino didn't say anything else, just smiled and looked toward the kitchen, where the busy figure could be seen through the shadow on the floor.
In the kitchen, Shizori was preparing today's lunch. Because there were two extra people, Fujino and Nanami, Shizori decided to modify today's menu to make something delicious.
Fortunately, Shizori hadn't started cooking before Fujino and Nanami arrived, which saved some effort.
Cutting the vegetables and setting them aside, the whole process was fluid and highly watchable, especially with a beauty like Shizori doing it.
Doing these things now was already second nature to Shizori.
When Shizori was able to cook and handle household chores on her own, her parents irresponsibly left her younger brother and sister for her to take care of. Apart from the large sum of living expenses sent on time every month, the two irresponsible parents rarely managed household affairs and didn't know where they had run off to have fun.
So for all these years, household matters had always been handled by Shizori, and over these years, Shizori had long since gotten used to it.
However, it was also because of this that Shizori developed her Housework Mastery ability.
"Let me help." Fujino walked into the kitchen.
"Why did you come in? I'm enough here." Seeing Fujino, Shizori subconsciously refused. "You are a guest; how can I let a guest help?"
"It's okay, Shizori is very cute." Fujino said with a smile, a remark that left Shizori feeling a bit confused.
"Cute?" Shizori said blankly, looking at Fujino's smiling face.
"Yes, Shizori is very cute, so I want to help Shizori." Fujino said, winking playfully.
Shizori's face turned red instantly. The way Fujino winked just now made her heart speed up suddenly, and an inexplicable emotion was growing in her heart.
"That's cheating."
Shizori muttered softly, even though the Fujino in front of her was clearly the one who was cuter.
"Alright, let's do this together." As she spoke, Fujino had already picked up a kitchen knife.
"No!" Shizori still refused. "You're a guest! How can I let a guest help!"
"Is it because I'm a guest that I can't?" Fujino suddenly remarked.
"Of course!" Shizori said subconsciously. For some reason, she felt like there was a hidden meaning in Fujino's words.
"Then wouldn't it be fine if Shizori became my girlfriend?"
As soon as Fujino finished speaking, the surroundings before Shizori's eyes suddenly shifted. By the time she reacted, Fujino's smiling face was right in front of her.
The distance between the two was very close; their bodies could be said to have no distance between them at all.
Shizori's face turned red, and she subconsciously tried to pull away.
Fujino just looked at Shizori with a smile, watching her bright red cheeks.
"So, how about it? Will Shizori be my girlfriend?"
Fujino leaned in close to Shizori's ear and whispered.
"Don't do this..."
Shizori's tone became somewhat unnatural.
A few minutes later, Shizori collapsed weakly against Fujino, a faint blush still lingering on her face.
"How does it feel?"
With a smile on her face, Fujino used one hand to brush aside the strands of hair on Shizori's forehead that were dampened by sweat.
Shizori didn't answer; at this moment, she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.
"Giggle."
Fujino let out a light laugh and lowered her head to plant a gentle kiss on the corner of Shizori's lips.
"Have a good rest. I'll handle the cooking, my little girlfriend~"
Hearing this, Shizori's eyes darted away, her slightly clenched hands relaxed, and she finally whispered:
"I'll leave it to you then, Fujino."
