I really only stop

Celica retorted firmly:

"Have you forgotten Nana? You, Ruoweixi, and Yushiya were all registered as adventurers on the same day, and I was already active as an adventurer a year ago. In terms of qualifications, I am the only It's Ruoweixi's predecessor!"

Because Lu Xi's tone of voice when he mentioned 'senior' was so special that everyone separated it from the intended [senior].

In everyone's perception, Lu Xi's "predecessors" are more strict in terms of grades, and the strength of face-jumping is also greater.

Here, Celica is using the special version of Lucy's face-jumping 'predecessor'. Just looking at the tone of voice, it has almost equaled or even surpassed the original version.

"Er, if you say that, you're right..."

From the bottom of my heart, I feel that both Lu Xi and Celica are very naive and deeply unable to understand their soft girls. They just want to get out of this mess quickly, and don't care about anything else, first feed the slacker who gets up late in front of him. Besides:

"It's been a long time since yesterday's dinner, isn't Celica hungry? I'm going to ask Cook to heat up breakfast—"

"No! This is a super serious issue related to my credibility and reputation!"

To Nana's surprise, even in the face of the temptation of delicious food, Celica's expression was still so firm, and she quickly came up with a new idea afterwards:

"That's right! Ruoweixi can take the grade test, so can I! As long as my grade is higher than Ruoweixi, can't I suppress him like my predecessor?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Because the sleeves were firmly pulled, Nana could only sigh helplessly, and continued to chat with Celica:

"Let's not mention the guild rule [superior adventurers are not allowed to bully lower-level adventurers at will], if you only look at the assessment criteria, Lu Xi probably, maybe, maybe better than Celica?"

In order to coax the child well as soon as possible, Nana's words are already cautious enough.

She knew very well in her heart that according to the guild's assessment standards, it was impossible for Celica to be as good as Lu Xi.

In terms of strength, Celica is always suppressed by Lu Xi with one hand, and in terms of speed, she is always surrounded by the latter and choked. Watch is definitely the weakest.

"Even so, it's just that I've been giving way to the weak and weak all the time!"

Knowing that her winning rate against Lu Xi is a bit low, Celica stammered and said:

"—That's right! If I completely uncover the seal in my body, and bring the evil dragon that will eventually devour the world back under my command, I hope you will beat one by one—"

"Cuckoo~"

Don't look at Celica dancing happily, in fact, she still hasn't eaten a grain of rice near noon.When she said the word 'swallow', her stomach growled by itself.

Seeing this scene, Nana naturally covered her mouth and smiled:

"Okay, okay, before releasing the dragon, should Celica want to 'swallow' a steaming breakfast by herself?"

"Ugh..."

I also understand that I am a bit ashamed now, Celica rarely blushes.Facing Nana's question, she rubbed the corner of her clothes a little while humming in a low voice:

"Please, please..."

Chapter 282 What is Feminine Power (Leaning Back)

Lu Xi's house, in the kitchen.

Somewhat surprised to see Nana humming a ditty while wrapping a cute apron around her body, Celica, who sneaked in together, hesitated for a long time before asking:

"Didn't you just say that you want Master Cook to help me heat up the rice? Why did Nana wrap her apron around herself?"

Ever since Lu Xiye broke into the soft sister's room and discovered the secret of the cook's puppet, everyone knew the fact that Nana, like everyone else, couldn't cook.Even though she used to get into the kitchen every day, it was Cook, the puppet in her hand, who was actually cooking.

Logically speaking, since we have all discovered Nana's secret, wouldn't it be good for Nana to just take out Master Cook?It's useless to put up a disguise here.

"Ah...you found out."

Reluctantly discovering Celica who had slipped in with her, Nana's face blushed a bit, and then she smiled embarrassedly:

"I originally planned to make a breakfast for Celica myself, and then let you taste the meal and help me taste it under the condition that you thought it was made by Cook, so I lied before—— I'm sorry~"

"What~ it's just a taste test. With the generous me, Nana doesn't have to hide it like this at all-what?!"

Speaking of ordinary, Celica suddenly reacted, and looked at the soft girl in front of her in disbelief:

"Didn't Nana belong to the common front of [Open Mouth Waiting] like me before?! Why do you learn how to cook now!"

"Just, just a little bit... Just like Celica learned the technique of grilling meat, in my spare time, I will also learn some cooking skills from Cook."

After saying this, Nana's expression suddenly became a little subtle:

"[Open your mouth and wait for the common front]? May I ask who is in there?"

"It's just me, Nana, and Yuxia?"

Looking at the soft girl who asked this question strangely, Celica counted on her fingers:

"I have Nana, Nana has Cook, Yushia's family is very, very rich, and they can eat whatever they want - the three of us have no kitchen experience at all, it is for the common front of [open mouth and wait for feed]! "

"Don't divide me into the kind of front that only lazy children will join!"

Nana, who was wearing a cute little apron, spoke with a hint of crying:

"I've been working hard to learn how to cook, and I can almost reach a tenth of Cook's level!"

Although one-tenth sounds like a weak cooking skill, considering that Cook is the combat unit, Nana's cooking skills should be extraordinary among ordinary people.

Somewhat similar to Lu Xi, the optimist Celica hates the tearful look of a soft girl in front of her eyes the most.She quickly reached out and patted Nana:

"Okay! I understand! As the leader of the alliance, I officially announce that the only member of the alliance, Nana, is officially graduating now. I hope her future will be bright and bright-how about it! Will it be no problem?"

"Well, that's fine—huh? Seems like something's wrong?"

Just as Nana wanted to nod her head to accept the congratulations from the 'Leader', she tilted her head and thought for a while, then asked doubtfully:

"Am I the only member? There are only three people in the common front. Celica is the leader and I am a member. What about Yuxia? Yuxia should also be a member?"

"Ah... this..."

Celica scratched her head embarrassedly:

"Yusia can provide a lot of funds for the common front, and she bought me sweet cakes in the imperial capital last time, so I was promoted to deputy leader..."

"So, even in a small front with only three people, am I the only one being managed?!"

Because she is not good at accusing others by nature, Ruanmei can only turn her back angrily and express her dissatisfaction in this way:

"Then, Lord Celica, you can cook and eat yourself! I won't care about you anymore!"

"Mother Nana! Don't!"

----------

Facts have proved that soft girls are really easy to coax.Under Celica's aggressive offensive of cuteness and coquettishness, Nana's dissatisfaction, which was not too big at first, quickly dissipated.

"However, I was really surprised."

Celica, who was afraid that she would really have nothing to eat, didn't dare to mess around anymore.Supporting her chin with both hands, watching the scene where Nana skillfully smashed an egg into a bowl, Celica suddenly tilted her head in confusion:

"This question is a bit straightforward. I hope Nana won't be angry with me—since there is such a powerful master cook, why does Nana still have to learn to cook by herself? Learning is very hard."

"Well, the reason is actually not that complicated."

Cutting the vegetables in her hands into small pieces, Nana replied:

"The dolls have always been by my side, and they can indeed handle all kinds of things perfectly for me—but if I don't do anything, just blindly [rely on] Their words must be bad."

"Is Nana worried that the puppets will leave you one day?"

Celica thought for a while and added:

"It's like the day you met Weak Xi, if Nana, who didn't have a doll by her side, hadn't met Weak Xi, she would definitely have encountered something terrible, wouldn't she?"

"Those are only very small aspects."

Nana shook her head lightly:

"If you want to talk about the reason, I am more willing to help others as much as I can after I have learned it, rather than running to help me after others have mastered something. There must be no harm in learning more. More importantly-"

Having said that, Nana showed a smile on her face:

"If you can do it yourself, you have to do it yourself. If you keep bothering the people around you with various things, I will feel embarrassed~"

【…】

In a certain deep and dark space, countless puppets opened their eyes at the same time, and then made the same movement at the same time - raising their hands to wipe their tears.

Miss Nana has really grown up.

Well, the little girl who cried and hid herself as a puppet because she couldn't find a friend to play with is getting farther and farther away from us.

...Good thing, good thing...

Unaware of how exaggerated the reaction of the dolls was after hearing what she said, Nana just looked at Zelika who was covering her eyes strangely:

"Selica, what's wrong with you?"

"Woo! Let me be quiet! I have just been suppressed by Nana's [Halo of Hard-working Children]! It's so dazzling! I'm about to die!"

Covering her eyes exaggeratedly, Celica shouted:

"Hurry up! Nana hurry up and tell me a reason for learning to cook that is not so tall! Otherwise, the dark as I will be burned and melted by the light of human nature!"

"Eh?! Is this so serious? Let me think about it—"

The evil soft girl who believed in Zorika really used her brain to think hard, and after a while, her voice sounded softly—for some reason, this time with a little shyness unique to girls:

"[For example, if it is possible, I want to watch the person who cares eat my food and be praised by him]——Is this reason okay?"

Ah, after the brilliance of humanity, is it actually the power of women?

Silently staring at the extremely shy but equally adorable girl in front of her, Celica gave a thumbs up with her last bit of strength, and then she was simply reduced to ashes in the soft girl's light.

I am completely defeated.

Chapter 283 The Black Cockroach

"Celica? Celica?!"

Seeing the scene where Celica fell to the ground peacefully on the spot, Nana panicked and dropped the spatula in her hand, picked her up in a panic, and gently put the former's head on her lap:

"Did you collapse because you were too hungry? What should I do...or let Cook cook a high-calorie meal quickly—"

"Clap."

Just when Nana was about to take Cook out of her bag, Celica who was still in [Peaceful.jpg] suddenly stretched out a small hand, stopping the former's movement:

"...It's okay, Nana. I just expressed my feelings just now, Nana just needs to be like Ruoyouxi, and complain about my actions."

"Spit, spit?"

Nana expresses complete ignorance of the bewildering behavior of troubled children like Lucy and Celica:

"But, I don't seem to be able to complain——ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

"What?! What's wrong?!"

Originally, Celica was still peacefully lying on the soft girl's lap pillow and sneaking fish, but when she heard Nana's scream, she felt that her little heart was going to be scared out:

"Volcanic eruption? Super earthquake? Meteorite?!"

"None of them..."

Nana, who was just making a knee pillow for Celica, picked Celika up from the ground and blocked it in front of her with an agility that was too fast to be an alchemist. At the same time, she stretched out a finger tremblingly, pointing to the floor in front of her. something of:

"You, look over there..."

there?

Celica raised her head subconsciously and looked in the direction Nana was pointing at.On the clean and tidy floor tiles of the kitchen, a black lump that seemed to have grown many legs was writhing restlessly.

this this this this is——

The real name of this creature was instantly judged in his mind, and the face of Celica, who was usually fearless, turned pale instantly.Almost subconsciously, she cried out in horror:

"——It's【Black Cockroach】!!!"
