Chapter 29: A Marvelous Lunch (2)
update icon Updated at 2025/6/16 2:10:13

After being questioned by Juxi, Yu Nai, who was also curious, asked Hai, "Yeah, I remember that there wasn't much food on the spaceship. How did you bring so many fried meat pieces?"

She had always liked fried meat pieces since she was young, or at least that's what she was told. But after being reminded by Juxi, she began to doubt what these meat pieces were made of.

"It's actually nothing much... just some local chicken... fish, yes, it's fried fish pieces!"

Hai answered the question evasively, as if deliberately hiding something mysterious.

Now not only Juxi was sure, but even Yu Nai and Ruo, who were about to put the meat pieces into their mouths, carefully put back the half-eaten meat pieces into their plates.

Although Ruo didn't talk as much as Yu Nai and Juxi, she was also very curious about what kind of animal they were eating!

Among those present, only Yukari and Chiyori sat in their seats, unaffected, eating their own food.

Hai made a hesitant expression, then looked at Yukari, as if seeking approval or asking the administrator if she should speak.

"It's alright..."

Yukari casually wiped the corner of her mouth and continued, "Show them!"

"Yes... huh?!" Hai initially thought she misheard, but Yukari repeated it again.

"Show them, otherwise they won't be able to eat here peacefully."

Yukari said the same thing, although with more words than before, the general meaning didn't change.

"Okay... alright then."

As it was the administrator's command, Hai had no reason not to obey.

But it was a pity for Chiyori, who ate even faster than Yukari across from her, quickly finishing most of the meat on her plate.

In this situation, Chiyori had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and furrow her eyebrows, waiting for the chef's response.

"Actually, it's nothing much, it's just that I can't describe it well with my current vocabulary. Let's look at some pictures instead."

After speaking, Hai accessed her memory database and projected the main ingredients of the meat pieces.

"Look, I told you it looks like chicken!"

The picture showed a creature with green scales all over its body, six chicken heads on its neck! Not only that, there were some strange and black things wriggling on its body. Its appearance was extremely strange, especially since it had a snake tail!

If there was anything that resembled a chicken on its entire body, it would probably be the six chicken heads!!!

When I saw this chicken, I immediately set aside the chicken pieces in my hand and looked at Chiyori, who had already eaten more than half. A mischievous smile appeared on my face.

"Hahaha, Miss Chiyori, is it delicious? The hormone chicken with six heads."

"Ew~!"

"Wow, my hard work food, don't waste it!"

"Hahaha, it's really amusing, it's like pretending to be a tiger eating a pig, right?"

"You... ew..."

Chiyori didn't even have time to curse Juxi, she could only continue to vomit, as if even her bile was about to come out.

"Phew... feels much better now."

I don't know how long it took, but Chiyori finally crawled out of the restroom, her face unusually pale from vomiting.

On the other hand, Yukari seemed as if she hadn't noticed anything at all. She continued to eat her own lunch, wiping her mouth afterwards to indicate that she was full.

"Hey, Chiyori!" Yukari glared at her menacingly. "From now on, please clean up your share of the trash, okay?"

With just one glare, Chiyori immediately understood. She stood up and said, "Yes...yes!"

Yukari is usually gentle, but that one look made everyone shudder.

...

Even Juxi stopped laughing and watched as Yukari finished her meal and left the room.

Now, only Juxi and Chiyori, who was on the brink of passing out from vomiting, were left in the room with empty stomachs. Basically, except for Yukari, all three of them were starving and hadn't even had a proper meal. Oh, and by the way, although Chiyori claimed to have eaten, she had actually vomited her breakfast. So, let's say she didn't eat anything either.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

The sound of their growling stomachs made Juxi suddenly recall some memories from his past.

That day was one of those days when he hadn't eaten...

Hmm, he couldn't rely on snacks for dinner every day, could he? Juxi thought.

"For a proper meal...steak, potatoes, mushrooms, onions. Is that enough?" Juxi organized the groceries he had bought and found that he had everything he needed.

He happened to catch a big sale at the supermarket, and the price of the steak seemed really cheap.

Unfortunately, he couldn't go home for now because it would be wasteful to spend time searching for these ingredients. After finally buying everything in the crowded underground mall, he could hardly see the snowflakes floating in the sky. It seemed like it was already very late.

These big sales always end up crushing people.

That's forgivable, but the time I spend on them could have easily allowed me to complete more than ten dungeons. How much experience would that be?!

"But living alone is pretty nice. I can eat whatever I want, hehe!"

No one would complain about eating snacks and instant noodles every day, and I can do whatever I want, including being lazy.

As soon as he reached home, he reached into his pocket to grab his keys, only to realize that he had forgotten them...

"Huh, did I forget them?!"

Juxi instinctively searched his pockets for any trace of the keys, but he couldn't find them anywhere.

Helplessly, Juxi had to spend the night in the cold winter.

However, just when he was completely hopeless...

Click!

The front door miraculously opened at that moment, revealing a well-proportioned and handsome figure standing in the brightly lit doorway.

"Welcome home, husband!"

A woman with a gentle expression appeared before me, standing at the entrance hall and taking the burden and the newly bought groceries from me. I stood there, stunned.

"What do you mean 'husband'...but seriously, thank you so much! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to enter my own home today!"

At that moment, Juxi stepped back to look at the door sign, and it was indeed his own home!

Looking back at the stranger who seemed to be a virtuous housewife, Juxi was quite puzzled.

"When did you come in? Don't you know it's trespassing on private property?!"

"Haha! Trespassing on private property? Are you kidding me?"

The other party suddenly became casual and pulled out a piece of paper from Juxi, which had a few big words written on it - Marriage Agreement!

"What is this... I don't want it! No..."

I suddenly woke up from the dream and shouted, "I don't want a marriage agreement!!!"

"Huh?" Yu Nai and Chiyori both froze, then said in unison, "Marriage agreement... what is that?!"

Neither of them understood what Juxi was saying. Since it was already said, it was necessary to explain it properly... especially to these two clueless women!

"Blah blah... understood, right?"

Juxi explained in detail, almost repeating everything, but it became a reason for those two to mock him.

Just as Juxi explained what a marriage agreement was, Chiyori couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, were you so scared just now that you thought you would be eaten by a marriage agreement?"

To be eaten by a marriage agreement, she really came up with it!

But speaking honestly! Juxi thought to himself that the woman he encountered earlier seemed familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

Thinking about the back of the administrator Yukari just now, Juxi felt that they both had some similarities!

However, he didn't dare to draw conclusions easily. After all, this kind of thing should be carefully considered.

"Don't you feel it?" Juxi asked Yu Nai and others who were trying to adapt to the food, "The administrator gives me a familiar feeling, I don't know if you feel the same?"

"Not at all, I just think it's troublesome," Yu Nai said, looking away.

"Nonsense! The administrator has always been a great existence in my eyes, always... always..." Chiyori and Yu Nai argued, turning a simple question into a heated argument between the two of them.

"That administrator is just a jerk. I don't want him to bother me all the time!"

Yu Nai still insisted on her initial idea, which infuriated Chiyori: "How dare you... speak ill of the great person, I think you're tired of living!!!"

In this situation, Yu Nai still stubbornly resisted and said, "If you really like her so much, why don't you just become her servant, washing her feet and bathing for her all day..."

Yu Nai became more and more spirited as she spoke, completely disregarding Chiyori's feelings. Juxi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yu Nai.

"Stop it! Let's all be peaceful... isn't that better?"

Although there would definitely be a bloody fight between the two, Juxi still wanted to try and hope for the best outcome in the end.

But the result was somewhat unexpected. Instead of getting angry, Chiyori grabbed Yu Nai's hand and said, "What a genius idea!"

Being grabbed like this by Chiyori, Yu Nai didn't know how to respond for a moment, just forced a smile and said, "Yeah... it's a method only geniuses would use."

That's true... Finally, things have settled down. It's good that we didn't argue.
