Killing intent.
Seiji was certain that at this moment, he truly felt the legendary killing intent!
This was the greatest manifestation of a person's instincts towards danger.
How should he answer this question?
A dialogue option appeared before him —
[A: No, I didn't see anything.]
[B: Yes, I saw something.]
[C: I think I saw something just now … but I've already forgotten about it.]
The answer was probably C.
Actually, C didn't seem like much — it was too unnatural!
But choosing B would be suicidal, and choosing A would be lying through one's teeth, so he could only choose C.
"Er … I think I saw something just now, but I've already forgotten about it. Sigh … why am I standing here?" Seiji's gaze wandered as he pretended to speak.
* Ding! * Favorability rating increased!
The killing intent vanished.
Yes, correct answer!
Seiji mentally gave his system a thumbs up.
Across from him, Mai slowly turned around.
Her face was flushed red, and her expression was rather strange.
If this was depicted in a manga, the maid's current expression would be like a mosquito coil with wrinkled lips. She would be on the verge of dizziness or insanity, as if she was on the verge of losing control.
Seiji broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing her strange expression.
If he had answered incorrectly just now … what would have happened!?
He didn't dare to imagine it.
'I'll just let everything I saw go with the wind! I'll seal the memories in my mind! I'll completely bury them!! '
"You … have you really forgotten?" the low voice asked again.
"Yes, really. I can't even remember why I'm standing here. Please allow me to return to my room and think about it." Seiji put on a serious expression.
He could borrow the printer tomorrow.
"Oh … please go ahead." Mai nodded.
Seiji turned around, walked out of the living room, and returned to his room.
His footsteps were normal at first, but they became faster and faster.
The door to his room was right in front of him.
He reached out to grab the doorknob, but at that moment …
A hand silently rested on his shoulder.
"Junior … you actually … can't possibly forget, right?" a low and gentle female voice spoke up from behind him.
'Terrifying!
So terrifying!! '
Seiji felt all the hairs on his body standing on end.
Houjou-san, you're really going to scare people to death like this! Don't use the Silent Movement Maid skill like this!!
She looked like a female ghost.
"Junior Brother …"
Coupled with the phrase "I hate you so much ~ ~", it was a classic case of a haunted house.
"Senior Sister …" Seiji's cheeks twitched slightly. "I … definitely won't tell anyone. You … don't worry."
Quickly ascend to heaven and become a Buddha!
"How can I be at ease …"
The gentle female voice began to sound a little strange … no, it seemed strange from the very beginning.
"If the Grand Mistress finds out, I'll …"
Seiji felt his shoulder being grabbed, and it hurt a little.
This senior sister's strength is a bit too big.
"She won't know, I promise."
"You … what guarantee do you have?"
Sigh, I seem to have heard something similar?
Oh, right, I remember now. Last time … I gave an answer that was close to self-destructing.
He didn't expect to hear such a question again. This time, he wouldn't answer it like that!
Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.
"I promise on my moral integrity for the rest of my life!"
'Exchanging for silver will never end!' 'Cough cough, I got distracted.'
The hand on his shoulder paused for a moment.
"Moral integrity?" The female ghost … whoops, Mai was rather confused.
"Moral integrity is the most important thing for a gentleman … or an otaku," Seiji said in a serious tone. "You can understand it as something like an ordinary person's moral integrity."
"Oh …"
Mai still felt that it was rather strange, but since he said it like this, she could only accept it.
"Alright, I … believe you … Junior."
The hand on his shoulder retracted.
Seiji inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Good night, Senpai."
He was about to open the door.
However, his shoulder was grabbed again!
'What else do you want, sister!?'
"Thank you … thank you for being willing to keep it a secret. I'll treat you to something good to eat."
This time, her voice was finally normal.
'It's better like this.' Seiji's cheeks twitched.
"Can I call Little Shi … Shika Kagura as well?"
Mai paused in surprise for a moment upon hearing this.
Then, she smiled.
"Sure."
...
The lights in the hallway lit up.
The orange light was bright and gentle, illuminating the three of them as they sat down in the hallway.
"So, the good thing that Senpai was talking about is mutton cake."
Seiji recognized the contents of the box after seeing the maid open it.
Mai smiled and nodded.
"This is mutton cake that I made myself. Since I controlled the sugar content, it's a bit lighter. I hope that you'll like it."
Sakura Island's traditional delicacy, mutton cake … the name itself might cause people to misunderstand, but it actually had nothing to do with sheep.
It was a jelly-like dessert made from beans. The main ingredients were red beans and chestnuts, and there were many different flavors.
The mutton cake that Mai took out was translucent blue, and it was placed on a small porcelain plate. It looked incredibly beautiful under the light, like a work of art.
Shika Kagura, who was sitting beside Seiji, stared unblinkingly at the dessert for quite a while.
Although her face was expressionless, Seiji could tell that she was looking forward to tasting the dessert.
After placing the mutton cake on the table, Mai began pouring tea.
As the clear, light green tea was poured out, a faint aroma of tea immediately filled the air, making the entire atmosphere seem a little poetic.
No, it wasn't poetic; it was certain. Seiji sighed.
Looking at the tranquil night scenery, having two beauties by his side, excellent tea, and delicious desserts personally made by two beauties … what else could this be other than poetic quality?
At this moment, he felt a sense of harmony, tranquility, and beauty.
"Please enjoy." Mai smiled at them after pouring the tea.
Seiji and Shika Kagura exchanged glances, then reached out in unison, picked up their teacups, and took a sip.
Yep, it was delicious.
The perfect temperature of the tea flowed into their stomachs, and the aroma of the tea filled their mouths and noses, making them feel comfortable.
Next was the mutton cake.
Shika Kagura's eyes flashed as she picked up a toothpick, poked a small piece of mutton cake, and placed it in her mouth.
At first, she widened her eyes slightly, but then her expression relaxed as she squinted her eyes.
'She didn't become a gourmet … cough, don't get distracted.'
"Is it delicious?" Seiji asked with a smile.
Shika Kagura nodded.
"Then thank Houjou-senpai; she was kind enough to treat us to this."
"Okay … thank you." Shika sincerely thanked the maid.
"No need to be so polite." Mai smiled gently and seemed to be in a good mood.
Seiji also tasted a mouthful of the mutton cake.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, the dessert melted … it literally melted, melting in his mouth!
The sweet and refreshing taste combined with the aftertaste of the tea, creating a brand new taste that was rich in content. It was sweet, bitter, and fragrant, and left a lingering aftertaste.
With Seiji's cooking skills, this was the best he could describe it.
If Mika or Chiaki were here, perhaps they would go on a long speech, or even show their orgasmic faces … just kidding.
"It's really delicious … no matter what Senpai makes, it's always delicious," Seiji praised sincerely.
"If I married Senpai, I'd probably live a happy life."
Mai's cooking skills were perfect, and she could do housework. As long as you ignored some of the oddities, yep … she would be a perfect bride!
At any rate, any man that married her would be worthy of envy. That was what Seiji believed.
Then, he felt the atmosphere change.
He turned around to see that Shika Kagura and Mai were both looking at him. Mai's eyes were slightly widened, and her face was slightly flushed.
Seiji was rendered speechless.
