"Let's continue eating."
Looking at this scene, Qiu Bai let out a soft sigh.
There shouldn't be any exposure...
"Anyway, it's good that everything is alright."
Mikan felt relieved, wiped the strange liquid off the table, and threw it in the trash can next to her.
She then turned around and walked back to her seat, where she sat down.
This time!
A notification sound rang in Qiu Bai's mind.
[Ding! Event triggered at a distance of 126 meters from the host!]
[Mission Location: Akizuki's House.]
[Mission Objective: Rescue Airi Akizuki from being assaulted by the "demon father" Kozo Akizuki.]
[Task time limit: 10 minutes.]
[Mission Reward: Charm Ability]
His face froze.
Keep in mind that I just used up most of my magic power...
And here comes the mission!?
I'm numb now, I've really learned my lesson...
Magic shouldn't be misused!
Qiu Bai immediately began communicating with the system in his mind:
"Hey! System, is there any way to postpone the mission deadline or quickly restore mana?"
[Host, regarding the postponement of the mission deadline, you can try to change the course of the real-world events, which may result in an extension of the deadline.]
As for restoring magic power, the simplest way is to eat more; the nutrients in food will be converted into magic power.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Bai looked at the rice and dishes in front of him.
I see……
Food can accelerate magic recovery...
He looked at the countdown in his mind.
[Task Time Limit: 09 minutes and 32 seconds]
There simply isn't enough time!
Must be fast!
Qiu Bai quickly picked up his chopsticks and kept adding food to his bowl before wolfing down his rice.
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
He chewed the food a couple of times and swallowed it.
Qiong: ()
Meikan: ( )!!!
"Brother Qiubai, what's wrong with you today?"
"Even if the food is to your liking today, at least chew it a couple more times before swallowing, right?"
Mikan couldn't help but talk about it.
Even Qiong was stunned, and the chopsticks in her hand fell onto the table with a "thud".
After she realized what was happening, she picked up the chopsticks again.
"Tch, what an idiot."
Qiong turned her head and started eating by herself, but she seemed to be eating much faster than usual.
It seems she's really going after Qiu Bai...?
"Qiu Bai, Qiong, eat slowly. Eating too fast is bad for your health!"
"Ugh! You guys are really... I don't care anymore!"
When Mikan realized that her persuasion was useless, she started to lose her temper.
But as she looked at the dwindling number of dishes, she joined the ranks of those showing off their food.
……
Seven minutes later.
The dishes on the table were almost entirely gone, with only a few scraps and rotten leaves remaining.
"Phew...so full..."
Mikan reached out and touched her chubby little belly, leaning back in her chair with a contented expression.
"So full."
Qiong, however, was already slumped over the table.
She was being a bit too competitive.
Qiu Bai then slurped up the remaining crumbs on the plate and stretched his hands upwards.
"Yoshi, nutrient replenishment complete!"
"Sora, Mikan, I'm going out to buy you some drinks. Wait for me a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up quickly.
"Drinking...?"
Mikan seemed to have thought of something.
Qiu Bai immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the entrance.
stomping on...
creak-
boom!
The door to the house was closed.
"Wait, isn't there... something to drink at home?"
When Mikan heard the door close, she sat up straight with a start.
Meikan: () ?!
Meikan: ()
As she looked around, she discovered that Qiu Bai had vanished without a trace.
"Hey?"
Qiong slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
穹：
The two women looked at each other.
"Ugh"
After a soft sigh, Mikan leaned back in her chair again and opened her pink lips:
"Brother Qiu Bai is in such a hurry to leave... Is he really going to buy a drink?"
Upon hearing this, Qiong hugged the black rabbit in her arms tighter, biting her lower lip slightly with her silver teeth, and murmured softly:
"Qiu Bai..."
The Jiu family, outside the gate.
As the sun set and its afterglow dissipated, the inky blackness surged rapidly across the horizon, turning the sky dark in an instant.
The streetlights gradually brightened, providing a faint glow in the darkness and guarding the city's outline.
As soon as Qiu Bai stepped out the door, he felt his magical power rapidly recovering, but there was no time to wait any longer.
[Task Time Limit: 01 minutes and 59 seconds]
Qiuyue's house is right next door, just a few steps away.
Step, step, step...
soon.
Qiu Bai arrived at Qiu Yue's door.
He felt the demonic power within him, clenched his fists, and his dark eyes showed a hint of solemnity.
"I don't have much magic power to begin with, but the recovery speed is pretty good. I should be able to pause for more than 2 minutes."
While Qiu Bai was secretly calculating, he also stepped towards the glass window next to him.
He moved closer to the glass window, which was mostly covered by curtains, but fortunately a corner remained open, allowing him to see what was inside.
"My body... feels so uncomfortable... what did you spray on me just now?"
The blonde girl with pigtails hugged herself, suddenly feeling weak and restless.
She quickly moved closer to the wall, clearly having been drugged.
But the black-haired man pressed closer, holding a spray bottle of purple medicine in his hand, a grin spreading across his face, tinged with jealousy.
"I really didn't expect that bastard Qiu Bai... to make you so infatuated with him, Ai Li, going to his house every other day. The difference in treatment is really huge..."
"It just so happens that there isn't a suitable test subject for this drug yet, so let's make you the first test subject, Ellie."
Ellie gritted her teeth, hugged her delicate body with both hands, and trembled slightly.
"Of course, Qiu Bai is handsome and gentle, a thousand times better than a beast like you!"
She glared fiercely at the man in front of her.
Hear this.
Qiu Bai was slightly stunned and reached out to cover his forehead.
Ellie is actually still thinking of me at this moment, and even speaking up for me??
wipe!
If that damned guy succeeds, wouldn't that be like making himself look good?
What a joke! ?
As the saying goes...
I'd rather be the best in the world than let the world be the best in me!
Kōzō Akizuki, you're fucking dead!

His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared intently at the situation ahead, ready to strike at any moment.
"Hehe, Qiu Bai? Speaking of which, that guy has two younger sisters, right? We can use them as test subjects for the medicine."
"You actually did that to Sora and Mikan... You're worse than an animal! I'm going to tell Mom when she gets back!"
"Don't force yourself, Ellie. Daddy will free you from this."
"Damn it, get out of here, you pervert!"
"How can a girl say 'fuck'... Ellie?"
"No—!"
Time stops!
The sound inside stopped.
