During dinner that evening, Mako was a bit bewildered.
This family seemed to have quite a few people.
Besides her and her daughter, there were nine other people, six of whom were young girls.
However, on second thought, this was even better. This way, Sagiri would have friends her age.
Then, Liu Ming began to introduce everyone.
Knowing that Sagiri and the others would be living here, everyone showed great kindness.
This made Mako secretly breathe a sigh of relief; these people in front of her didn't seem difficult to get along with.
Sagiri, though still a bit shy, didn't hide and quietly stayed by Mako's side.
"Sagiri, you're amazing! So young, yet already a famous manga artist."
Miyu was completely stunned when she heard that Sagiri would be drawing for Liu Ming's work.
She was roughly the same age, yet so talented; she felt a little jealous.
Sagiri lowered her head, feeling embarrassed.
"After dinner, can I see some of your manga?" Miyu looked at Sagiri expectantly.
"No," Liu Ming directly denied.
"Why not?" Miyu frowned, puzzled.
"Because her pen name is Eromanga Sensei," Liu Ming said.
"I don't know anyone with that name," Sagiri retorted in a low voice.
Sora couldn't help but glance at her. Was this the legendary tsundere?
However, Miyu and the others were innocent children and didn't understand what that pen name meant, each showing a bewildered expression.
"In any case, you're not allowed to look." Liu Ming didn't know how to explain, so he forcefully issued a ban.
At this moment, Mako explained for him. She smiled and said, "Because most of those manga are for adults; children can't watch them."
Xiao Hina and the others were still young and didn't know what these things meant, while Kyoko, the psychic girl, didn't mind at all.
But Sora and Miyu were different; their minds were already somewhat mature. Hearing this, both their pretty faces flushed.
"You're kidding, right? She's clearly so young," Sora stammered.
"What do you think?" Liu Ming rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "If they were just ordinary manga, would I not let you see them?"
Sora and Miyu exchanged glances and then seriously re-examined Sagiri.
She looked to be about ten years old. To dare to draw such things, she was too bold.
"Sagiri is just a manga artist, and drawing these things is understandable. Don't look at her with such eyes. But you are still young; you are not allowed to look at those things, lest you learn bad habits."
Liu Ming's tone was somewhat strict. He didn't want another Xiao Anzu in the house. Every time he encountered Xiao Anzu, who dared to say anything, he got a headache.
"We wouldn't look," Sora stammered.
Miyu nodded in agreement.
"I'd believe Sora, but as for you, Miyu, hehe. Tell me, what's with your expression right now? Why do you give me a feeling of eagerness?" Liu Ming glared at Miyu. This girl really didn't make things easy.
Miyu playfully made a funny face.
"Sora, keep a close eye on her for me."
Time flew by, and soon it was the day Liu Ming was to leave. Although everyone was a little reluctant, they weren't overly sad.
After all, it was only a week; Liu Ming would be back soon.
After everyone went to school, Liu Ming officially set off for Totsuki Resort.
Although Tohru had promised not to follow, for Liu Ming's safety, she still made Liu Ming bring Iko.
According to her, although Iko was very weak, it could still help block bullets if Liu Ming encountered danger.
Iko had nothing to say about this; who told it that it couldn't beat Tohru?
Because Iko didn't have invisibility magic, Liu Ming had Tohru take him part of the way.
Anyway, there were no outsiders, so there was no need to be careful.
With Tohru's help, Liu Ming quickly arrived at Totsuki Resort.
Tohru found a deserted place and set Liu Ming down.
Tohru felt even more at ease now because she knew where Liu Ming was, and with her flying speed, she could come over at any time.
After receiving Liu Ming's praise, Tohru left happily.
Looking up at the luxurious buildings in front of him, Liu Ming secretly sighed, thinking, "As expected of the Totsuki Corporation, they are truly wealthy and powerful."
Liu Ming took out his phone and called Senzaemon, telling him that he had arrived at Totsuki Resort.
Not long after hanging up the phone, a person walked into the service hall.
It was Gin Dojima, the current Director General of Totsuki Resort.
Gin Dojima scanned the hall, then saw Liu Ming. His eyes changed, and he quickly went to greet him.
"You must be Mr. Liu. I heard about you from the Director General. To have such culinary skills at such a young age is truly remarkable. My name is Gin Dojima, and I am the current Director General of Totsuki Resort. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Gin Dojima's bright eyes constantly scrutinized Liu Ming.
He was very curious about what Liu Ming had accomplished to be so highly praised by the Demon King of Cuisine, Nakiri Senzaemon.
One should know that even he, the highest-scoring graduate and top student in Totsuki's history, had never received such treatment.
"I'm fine. I apologize for the intrusion this time," Liu Ming extended his hand and shook his.
"Not at all. With a master like you coming, we couldn't be happier. I hope to have the opportunity to taste your cooking."
"Hmm, by the way, this is not the time to talk about these things. I'll take you to your room now." After Gin Dojima finished speaking, he led Liu Ming towards the elevator not far away.
Liu Ming followed him.
