Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

Ichichi Hongxia took the ribbon and prepared to leave the kitchen.

"what?"

Kitahara Makoto's eyes fell on the ribbon and his expression suddenly froze.

The ordinary cookie box ribbon, for some reason, was now emitting a faint glow.

what's the situation?

How did the ribbon become an optimizable item in the blink of an eye?

Chapter 128 Everything is Steins;Gate's choice

"what happened?"

Ichichi Hongxia looked at him in confusion.

"It's okay." Kitahara Makoto shook his head, "Senior, be careful and don't get stuck in the washing machine again."

Ichichi Hongxia's pretty face quickly turned red, and she thought of the scene of being "pulled carrots" that night, puffed up her cheeks and said:

"That kind of thing will never happen again!"

Kitahara Makoto added:

"Wash the ribbons, then come to the kitchen and take the fruit out."

"know."

"..."

The cookie box ribbon is one of Senior Hongxia’s most precious treasures. No matter how she changes her outfit, the ribbon has never been changed. It is ten times harder to get than Classmate Xiaodeng’s stockings.

Therefore, although Kitahara Makoto was very curious about what entries would appear after the ribbon optimization, he had no intention of speaking up.

After a while.

After washing the ribbons, senior sister Hongxia returned to the kitchen. Her hair was not tied up yet. Her long, brilliant golden hair fell to her waist, making her look inexplicably more mature.

"Senior, the food is almost ready." Kitahara Makoto said softly, "Take the fruit out, and then rest outside."

Ijichi Hongxia pursed her pink lips and her eyes fell on Kitahara Makoto's fingers: "It's obviously you who should rest, let me cook, you go outside and rest..."

Kitahara Makoto said with a serious expression: "I refuse."

"Eh?"

"As the saying goes, if you want to capture a girl's heart, you must first capture her stomach." Kitahara Makoto said calmly, "In order to get Senior to agree to join the harem, I have been working hard to practice cooking skills during this period of time, just to show off my skills today. No one can stop me."

This is a lie.

The daily task requires him to cook the food himself. If he asks Senior Hongxia to help, the task will most likely fail. He has been busy for so long, and he will definitely be unwilling to fail at the last minute.

"Give up, it's impossible." Ichichi Hongxia couldn't help but scolded him, picked up the fruit plate and turned away, "I won't join the harem!"

"..."

Kitahara Makoto stayed in the kitchen and continued cooking, and soon heard various noises coming from the living room.

Kita: "Senior Nijiya, I need to change my shirt. This white shirt is too transparent."

Ichichi Hongxia: "Wait a moment, I'll go find some clothes right away."

Xiaohua: "Mom, little cake."

Ichichi Hongxia: "There is no cake. You have already eaten it. You can't eat so many sweets in one go."

Yamada Ryo: "I'm so hungry, Hongxia, feed me some fruit..."

Ichichi Hongxia: "Sit up and eat! Don't ask others for everything!"

"..."

Listening to the various sounds in the living room, Kitahara Makoto sighed silently:

If it weren't for Senior Sister Hongxia, this family would have broken up sooner or later.

ten minutes later.

"The dishes are all ready." Kitahara Makoto walked out of the kitchen, "Wash your hands and eat."

Kita: "I'll serve the food."

Ichichi Hongxia: "I'll get the bowls, chopsticks and rice cooker."

Pochi-chan: "I, I'll take Xiaohua and Erli to wash their hands."

"..."

Except for Xiaohua and Erli, the girls all took action. Even the usually lazy Yamada Ryo did not continue to lie down.

There is strength in numbers. Soon, all the bowls, chopsticks and dishes were brought up. The girls sat around the table and it was exactly full.

Dinner officially begins.

"It looks so delicious!" Kita Ikuyo's eyes sparkled, and she took out her phone to take pictures. "Let me take two pictures first, so I can keep them as a souvenir!"

The food on the table was indeed quite rich, including braised spare ribs, beef brisket with potatoes, smashed cucumber, spicy and sour potato shreds, garlic shrimps... Cuisine knows no national boundaries, and the most important thing is that it tastes good, because taste buds won't lie.

Except Indian food, of course.

Seeing Kita taking out his cell phone and taking pictures, the other girls followed suit and prepared to keep them as souvenirs.

Looking at the 'family photo' on her phone, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly had an idea:

"If I send this photo to Xiaoxiang, what will Xiaoxiang do?"

"..."

Photo taken.

It's finally dinner time.

"I'm gonna start now."

As Kitahara Makoto took the first step, the girls began to eat.

"Well--"

After taking a bite of the braised spareribs, the usually expressionless Xie Liang quickly opened his eyes wide, turned his head to look at Kitahara Makoto, and said in a pious tone:

"God, please accept my knees."

Kitahara Makoto was speechless: "Senior Liang is exaggerating."

"It's really delicious." Kita's eyes sparkled, and his chopsticks kept moving. "Kitahara-san is amazing, the food he makes is better than many restaurants!"

Nagasaki Suyo whispered, "It seems that Kitahara-kun's cooking skills are at the level of a master chef."

Goto Jiri raised his little face, with rice grains on the corners of his mouth: "I want to eat Onii-chan's cooking tomorrow!"

Kitahara Makoto said in a gentle voice:

"No problem, come over for dinner tomorrow evening."

Pochi-chan quickly shook her head: "No, no... I can't keep disturbing Kitahara-san..."

"..."

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

The girls gave full marks to the review.

After eating and drinking, Kitahara Makoto opened the simulator and saw that the fourth daily task was successfully checked.

[Daily Task 4: Cooking Master]

[Current status: Completed]

[Task Reward: Your cooking skills have been permanently improved]

After a quick glance, Kitahara Makoto quickly retracted his gaze. He had no plans to become a chef in the future, so he didn't care about the cooking reward.

"There is only one last lap pillow mission left..."

Kitahara Makoto was thinking in his heart whether he should try harder, when he suddenly heard Erli's exclamation:

“Ah, that book moved on its own!”

Kitahara Makoto turned around and saw the scheming young lady standing in front of the bookshelf with the book of answers in her hand. The whole book was rustling silently.

"I didn't do anything." Nagasaki Suyo's voice was a little nervous, "I just picked up the book out of curiosity, and I don't know why it moved by itself."

Kitahara Makoto understood as soon as he heard it. The number of questions in the Book of Answers had not been used up. When the scheming young lady saw the Book of Answers that she brought over yesterday, she was probably curious and happened to be thinking about the questions when she picked it up, so she triggered the book's special effects.

"Don't be nervous, this is normal." Kitahara Makoto said, "After Xiaohua got the book back last night, she slept with it all night. When she woke up in the morning, she found that the book had acquired strange powers... You can imagine it as the magic mirror in Snow White. This book is now a paper version of the magic mirror, and it will give the answer to any question."

The girl with animal ears raised her little face with an expressionless look.

"Be careful next time." Kitahara Makoto looked down and said nonchalantly, "Don't always cause trouble for me."

It was clearly a riding contract, but unfortunately he could neither ride nor mount. He also had to eat small cakes every day and let the beast-eared girl take the blame. Kitahara Makoto had no psychological burden at all.

As he spoke, the Book of Answers slowly stopped, and a page of text quietly appeared in front of everyone.

【Everything is a choice of Steins;Gate】

Chapter 129 Kita: I didn’t cheat on you guys!

"Everything is a choice made by Steins;Gate... Kitahara-san, what does this mean?"

Kita Ikuyo looked over curiously.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either." Kitahara Makoto complained, "I tried it this morning. This book does answer everything, but whether you can understand it is another matter."

"I know." Erli raised his hand, "Riddler!"

"Correct answer." Kitahara Makoto rubbed Erli's little head, "Erli is really smart."

"Hey~"

Ichichi Hongxia asked curiously:

"What question did Sushi-san ask?"

Nagasaki Suyo pursed her pink lips and said, "Just now I was just curious about why Kitahara-kun was interested in this book. I really don't know what the choice of Steins;Gate means."

Kitahara Makoto: “…”

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing that there is no Riddler, it is really the choice of Steins;Gate.

If I don't take this book, it will just be an ordinary book, destined to be thrown on the bookshelf and gather dust, and it will never become a book version of the magic mirror.

“Never mind.” Kita Ikuyo’s eyes sparkled, and she raised her right hand impatiently, “Me, me, me, I want to try it too!”

Having witnessed with their own eyes a washing machine that could suck people in and get them stuck, the girls had no doubt about the authenticity of the book of answers.

Kitahara Makoto said beside him:

"Anyone can ask questions, but each person can only ask once a day, and the daily limit is five times. I asked once when I got up this morning, and now Su Shi asked again. There are only three chances left to ask questions."

"Eh..." Kita blinked, "Then how are we going to distribute it?"

There are only three questions left today, and there are still Pochi-chan, Kita, Nijika, Yamada Ryo, and Erli left, so it is really impossible to distribute them all.

"I, I won't ask any more questions. I don't have any questions to ask..." Goto Ichiri quickly shook his head and whispered, "Eri is still a child. He also has nothing to ask. You can ask them."

Erli raised her little face and said, "Sister, I am an adult now, of course I have questions to ask."

"That, that..."

Pochi-chan hesitated, not knowing what to do.

Kitahara Makoto finally made the decision: "Erli, come over to play tomorrow. You can ask questions tomorrow. As compensation, I will buy you a small cake tomorrow."

"Great!"
