"Oops, hey, hey?! Cooking?! ”

Youmeng has always had a very clear positioning for herself.

For example, this time, after completing the work of leading the way and entering the "dungeon", she made up her mind to hide behind Antoneva with peace of mind.

Anyway, in the usual script, in this case, as a salted fish, she only needs to find a comfortable place to lie down and shout 666, while admiring the sassy and heroic posture of the beautiful and powerful senior sisters, while waiting to lie down and win.

- at least, that's what she thought until she was grabbed from behind by Antoneva and pushed to the front.

Bite.

A dialog box pops up on Yumeng's personal terminal.

[Antonieva has transferred the captain to Yumo]

"Oh? Are you planning to throw in the towel and stay here as a free maid for a reason? Considering your current situation, it is a wise choice. ”

Lucardo bowed slightly, scratched his head and said with some distress, "Forget it, I did owe that old guy Hero. You can use the excuse of mission failure to stay here for the time being. Well, I'm going to register you guys. ”

"Quite the opposite." Antonieva smiled, "Since we started the challenge mission instead of directly seeking refuge, I naturally wanted to win the challenge." ”

Antoniène struggled to maintain a calm tone, looking at Lucardo with some nervousness, "Well, if the challenge is successful." As a price we pay, if the challenge is successful, can we get you a chance to make a move? ”

As for the process of the SSS-class challenge mission with complete degrees of freedom, she only gathered it through speculation in historical archives.

In the existing "Covenant of the Spirits" in the academy city, the core point is the concept of partial equivalent exchange, which is also the most essential world law of this spiritual world, the two ends of the balance are not necessarily completely equal, but a reasonable consideration must be formed.

"Huh. That's the idea you made. ”

Lucardo raised his eyebrows, sneered and said, "How can the free three-year employment of a beginner spirit and two spirit apprenticeships be the same as the employment of two high-level Titled Venerables, even the price of one shot is not something you can afford. At most, I'll give you the right to run this shop for three years. ”

"Is it just a three-year right to operate?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Antonieva's eyes, and it was still too difficult to let the Venerables who had chosen to withdraw in the first place take action?

However, if it succeeds, at least this little family will not be easily taken away.

Looking at Otilia beside her, whose eyes were still a little red, Antonieva didn't insist any longer, nodded in response, "So, can you sign a recognized contract and start the challenge?" ”

"Of course. Although I think it's actually a waste of time. Lucardo shrugged his shoulders and snapped his fingers, and a ripple of spiritual power spread out of the air.

Yumeng and Otilia felt as if a terrifying gaze staring at everyone appeared in the void at the same time, and the cold hairs on their bodies stood up unconsciously.

"Don't worry, it's just a Tubal Covenant. It's just a contract to restrain a high-ranking spirit like me, to ensure that I won't break my word. For you, all you need to do is click Confirm on your personal terminal. ”

Lugardo shook his head slightly unpleasantly, and a small cloud of spiritual power condensed from his fingertips and flicked into the void.

"But if you follow the contract and the rules of the mission, those old guys won't say anything."

A faint sound of satisfying chewing sounded in the void, and a burning old parchment-like contract flashed through the air, and the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at slowly faded.

After a pause, looking at a certain salted fish girl with a childish face, Lucardo frowned and said, "I don't know where you came from." Or do you think that the five-eye fried rice at noon is my real cooking skill? I want to rely on the cooking skills of mortals to challenge the spiritual food made by the spirits. Should I say that you are newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, or do you not know the height of the sky? ”

"In short, you have to compare to know." Antoneva turned around, affectionately tucked the hair next to her cheeks behind her head, and said with a smile, "Your Holiness, I suggest that you do the best, or don't underestimate Yumeng too much. She didn't know where she had learned some amazing tricks. ”

"That's right. The cooking skills are superb! Not to mention the academy city, I think it's not inferior to those masters in my family! ”

Otilia swallowed and nodded in solidarity.

She still seemed to feel the warmth of the morning egg of the sun that pierced her soul and sent her to the clouds.

"But, I ......"

Youmeng explained a little crampedly, she really only makes some insignificant simple home-cooked food, as for what spiritual food is just a coincidence, to be honest, she herself has no confidence in herself.

A soft, white index finger sealed the rest of her words behind her lips, and her fingertips could faintly smell the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms.

Antoneva gently patted the girl's shoulder, looked at her beautiful black eyes tenderly and smiled slightly, "Captain, let's start the challenge." ”

This kid ...... From the first glance, I knew that it was a wonderful feeling that I could become a family member.

With a strong desire to survive and determination, Yumeng resisted the desire to stick out his tongue and taste the cherry blossom flavor of his fingers.

Yumeng glanced down at the task panel on her personal terminal.

The description of the SSS-class challenge mission that Antonieva accepted under his direction has changed.

【Dragonlord's Lair (Opened)】SSS

Custom Contract: Lucarto vs. Yumoe's team (Yumoe, Antonieva, Otilia)

Victory Condition: Complete the Cooking Challenge.

Rewards: Obtain the right to operate the "SA & Painted Lair" store for three years

Failure Penalty: All party members become free maids in the Dragonlord's Lair for three years.

【Start/Decline】

According to the plot, it should be clicked to start.

But!!! Blinking, Yumeng glanced weakly at Antonieva.

I'd love to see what kind of story would happen if I refused!

"Now, senior sister. What happens if I click Decline? Flashing with big eyes full of curiosity, Yumeng's face was full of eager to try (to die).

A gentle smile froze on Antoneva's face, and she quietly glanced at Youmeng without speaking.

"I mean, if, if. Sister Neva, you'll forgive me too, right? ”

The so-called family is the kind of existence that will blindly support your wrong decision, and at the same time, after you make a mistake, you will really be ruthless.

Antoneva's heart suddenly flashed a sentence in which book he didn't know where to read, and gently reached out and patted Yumeng's head, "You are the captain now, and the decision is in your hands." But if you refuse, you're failing. Of course, no matter whether we succeed or fail, we will, forgive, forgive, you, oh! ”
