[And after settling Fu Lin down, Siegfried prepared to go out and buy ingredients, deciding to cook personally and prepare a sumptuous dinner for Kiana☆ to celebrate her 11th birthday.
Meanwhile, Kiana☆, left alone in the room, turned her gaze to Fu Lin lying on the bed. Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, she couldn't help but pour out her inner joy.
Just as Kiana☆ was immersed in her thoughts, Fu Lin suddenly opened his eyes without warning, staring straight at her and responding.
This startled the unsuspecting Kiana☆, and after calming down and asking some questions, she learned his name, Fu Lin.
During their conversation, Kiana☆ gradually relaxed, but Fu Lin's subtle teasing made her feel a little shy.
Due to a series of careless actions from Fu Lin, his freshly bandaged wound started bleeding again, prompting Kiana☆ to complain before re-bandaging his wound.
While Kiana☆ was focused on re-bandaging Fu Lin, the sound of a door opening came from outside. Kiana☆ quickly put down what she was holding and rushed out to greet Siegfried.
However, when Siegfried instinctively dropped the bag in his hand and opened his arms to hug Kiana☆, as expected, all the eggs broke.
But that didn't matter, it still couldn't stop his determination to cook!
So, Siegfried started preparing dinner.
However, despite his efforts, the food he made was simply unappetizing.
Thus, Kiana☆ and Siegfried began to bicker, with Kiana☆ trying to awaken his paternal love but being firmly rejected by Siegfried.
In the end, the two sat at the table staring blankly at each other, neither willing to eat the bubbling, black-aura-emitting, foul-smelling dinner.]
Cecilia, 〈Siegfried, your cooking skills are still as terrible as ever...〉
Kiana, 〈Mom, I want to report Dad. Back then he kept tricking and forcing me to eat this poisonous-looking food, saying kids can't be picky or they won't grow tall, even though he wouldn't eat it himself!〉
Durandal, 〈Suddenly, I feel like being taken in by Otto... he wasn't so bad, Rita's cooking is really delicious.〉
[Miss Lily]Otto, 〈Hahaha, really? You truly think so?〉
Rita, 〈Thank you for the compliment, Lady Durandal~〉
Siegfried, 〈...Cecilia, let me defend mys- pfft- explain myself!〉
Kallen, 〈So your cooking skills are just like mine, Siegfried Kaslana!〉
Su couldn't help but sigh, 〈His cooking is just like his, truly an amazing thing, these genetic traits.〉
[Miss Lily]Otto, 〈After all, the Kaslana family members are all culinary idiots.〉
Elysia, 〈Oh dear, you inherited Kevin's strength but did not chose Mei's god-slaying cooking skills?〉
Kevin, 〈...〉
Mei☆, 〈What about Fu Lin? Could Fu Lin's true identity also be a Kaslana?〉
Elysia, 〈Nope~ Fu Lin used to cook really well, but ever since that time in the video when he turned into Mei, he was banished from the kitchen.〉
Everyone, 〈...That Mei is really terrifying!〉
Elysia, 〈Generally, whenever Fu Lin transforms, the talents of the previous identity disappear unless he transforms again, but for some reason, Mei's cooking skills ignore this rule and remain.〉
Everyone, 〈...That's really miserable.〉
Hearing Elysia's explanation, Fu Lin instantly knelt to the ground, howling to the sky, "...No!!!"
[Magical Girl]Theresa, 〈So... who ended up taking care of that table full of poison... cough, food?〉
Fu Lin once again howled to the sky, "No!!! The painful memories are attacking my brain!"
Kiana☆ gently hugged Fu Lin and comforted him, "It's all in the past, Fu Lin, don't think about it."
Himeko, 〈Looks like we already know who took care of it.〉
Mei☆, 〈Poor Fu Lin, but as long as I'm here, I'll never let Fu Lin eat bad food again!!!〉
Fu Lin, "That's great! Mei☆, my Rice Herrscher!"
[When the two had been at a stalemate for a long time, Fu Lin walked out of the room, only to see a table full of food. Without even pausing, he turned straight back to his room.
However, Siegfried quickly reacted, holding him down and forcing him onto a chair.
With no shame, Siegfried declared that all these dishes were specially prepared for Fu Lin.
In the end, the unfortunate Fu Lin finished the entire table of food, then sat limply in his chair with dull eyes, mumbling incoherently, before rushing out of the cabin to vomit violently.
After that, Kiana's life gradually became more fulfilling...
Siegfried often took Kiana☆ on missions, while Fu Lin stayed home to recover.
But on one mission's return, seeing Fu Lin carrying dishes full of color and aroma out of the kitchen, they immediately began eating without thinking, even praising the taste.
Then... the scene turned black, and when it lit up again, it was already the next morning.]
Himeko exclaimed, 〈Fu Lin, just how bad is your cooking to knock them out cold?〉
Mei☆ recalled, 〈I've had a similar experience. I didn't eat it, but Dad accidentally did. When he woke up, he said Mom had come to pick him up.〉
Raiden Ryoma was dumbfounded, 〈Huh?〉
[Magical Girl]Theresa curiously, 〈My sense of taste is a bit off, I wonder if I could handle it?〉
Fu Lin's eyes lit up with excitement, rubbing his hands and eagerly asking, "Theresa, do you want to try? I haven't cooked in ages, and my hands are itching to do it!"
[Magical Girl]Theresa quickly refused, 〈Forget it, I don't want to be on the news a few days after taking office, 'Shocking! New Overseer of Schicksal Dies of Food Poisoning!'〉
With Theresa's firm refusal, Fu Lin looked disappointed, and Kiana☆ curiously asked, "Fu Lin, cooking is such tiring work, why are you so passionate about it?"
Elysia remembered how upset Fu Lin was when he discovered he couldn't cook, venting to her, and her eyes narrowed slightly with a faint smile on her lips.
Elysia explained, 〈Because Fu Lin loves seeing the happy smiles on children's faces when they eat delicious food.〉
Raven, 〈Mr. Fu Lin must be a very loving person.〉
Elysia, 〈Fu Lin even hides under the blankets crying little pearls when he can't enter the kitchen~?〉
Kiana☆ was filled with thoughts, feeling like she'd never seen Fu Lin cry like that, even when pinned beneath her, he only blushed with a slightly annoyed look in his eyes.
So, Kiana☆ imagined Fu Lin curled up under the blanket crying little pearls. That shy, adorable look made her think only two words, "Want to eat!"
But! How could she make Fu Lin cry?
This question troubled Kiana☆.
Feeling Kiana☆'s slightly quickened breathing beside him, Fu Lin's mouth twitched, instantly knowing she must be thinking of something unhealthy.
