Chapter 242: Preparing to Go Home

"Hello, May."

Soon, Ash was greeted by a young and beautiful girl.

This girl's appearance couldn't be called breathtaking, but she had her own unique charm.

Moreover, the girl was wearing simple clothes, but they couldn't hide her charm.

"Aha, Ash! Good morning!"

May shouted happily and threw herself into Ash's arms.

"Hehe."

Ash scratched his head and smiled honestly.

"Right, May, what do you want to eat for breakfast today?"

Subsequently, Ash asked.

"Hehe, I want to eat the breakfast Brother Ash makes."

May smiled sweetly.

"Okay."

Ash smiled slightly and then took out the ingredients.

"Brother Ash, what kind of breakfast are you making?"

May opened her eyes wide and looked at Ash.

"Well, today, I'm making fried eggs, boiled beef, and grilled fish."

Ash arranged the ingredients and said to May.

"Awesome, I want to eat chicken legs!"

May clapped her little hands happily.

"Alright, go play for a while, I'll call you in a bit!"

Ash gently touched May's head.

"Mm!"

May nodded obediently and then skipped off to watch cartoons.

……

Soon, Ash began to get busy.

Not long after, Ash finished setting out the breakfast.

"May, time to eat breakfast~"

Ash called out.

"Mm-hmm!"

May ran over happily and sat in the chair.

Ash also sat down next to May.

Then, the two enjoyed the delicious breakfast together.

"Woo woo woo!"

"May, drink the porridge slowly!"

"It smells so good!"

May kept praising the breakfast Ash made.

Of course, hearing these words in Ash's ears was like the sweetest love talk.

"Brother Ash, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"

May praised.

"That's natural; after all, I am an excellent chef!"

Ash said with a proud look.

"Hmph hmph!"

May showed a look of disdain and said dismissively: "Brother Ash, I don't believe your cooking skills are that great!"

"Uh..."

Ash scratched his head awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

"Right, Brother Ash, how is your physical condition now?"

Subsequently, May asked again.

"There's no major problem anymore."

Ash nodded and said to May: "However, I suppose I will definitely have to recuperate at home for a while during this time."

"It's okay, Brother Ash, your body still needs to recover, we are not in a hurry."

May nodded sensibly, showing her support.

"Mm! Thank you, May."

Ash smiled slightly, feeling warm inside.

……

"Ash, where is May?" ### CHAPTER 374

On the other side, Misty was looking for May anxiously.

"Sister, May is still sleeping."

Ash said with a smile.

"Oh, I see. I thought May had disappeared."

Misty breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and then asked: "Right, Ash, when are we going back?"

"Tomorrow. I plan to buy some things today and then go back with May."

Ash said with a smile.

"Mm, that's fine. Then I'll head back first."

Misty nodded and said.

"Mm, Sister Misty, goodbye!"

Ash also nodded.

……

After saying goodbye to May, Ash prepared to go home.

However, after stepping out, he encountered Ash's father.

"Yo! Ash, you're back."

Ash's father said to Ash.

"Mm."

Ash nodded faintly.

"You two, go back together!"

But at this moment, Ash's father suddenly ordered.

"Eh?"

Ash was stunned.

"Mm, Ash, your father and I are heading back first. Tomorrow, remember to come pick up May; May is entrusted to your care."

Misty also spoke up.

"Oh, I understand."

Ash nodded.

"Alright, Ash, we're leaving now, bye-bye!"

Having said that, Misty pulled Ash's father away.

"Ash, see you tomorrow."

May also waved her hand.

"Okay."

Ash waved his hand as well.

After Misty and her father left, Ash turned and walked into the house.

"Wow, what a sumptuous breakfast."

At this moment, May was washing up. When she came out, she saw three dishes and a soup on the table.

May exclaimed in surprise.

"Mm! Hurry and try it."

Ash said with a face full of anticipation.

"Mm."

May nodded, then picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of rice, and put it into her mouth.

"Mm! Delicious."

May offered a compliment.

Afterward, she ate a piece of grilled fish.

"Delicious! Brother Ash, the flavor of this grilled fish is super amazing!"

May laughed happily.

"Haha!"

Hearing May's words, Ash also laughed.

And at this moment, a figure appeared in his mind.

It was a girl.

Moreover, this girl was a friend Ash had known for five or six years.

However, she was not Ash's girlfriend.

Or rather, she had never acknowledged Ash.

Yet, Ash had never forgotten her, nor could he forget her.

"Cynthia, I must become even more outstanding, and then let you see that I am not just an ordinary commoner student."

Ash clenched his fists and recited silently in his heart.

But at this moment, what Ash did not know was that Cynthia had also discovered the secret in his heart.

"Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for triggering a hidden task: 【Path of the Culinary God】 (Incomplete)."

The system's notification sound entered Ash's ears.

"Hm?"

Ash frowned.

He ignored this and instead continued to lower his head to keep May company as she played.

"Brother Ash, let's go to the game room to play!"

At this time, May spoke up.

"Alright, let's go!"

Ash agreed with a smile.

"Mm, let's go!"

May cheered.

Consequently, Ash held May's hand and walked toward the game room.

Very quickly, Ash and May arrived at the arcade.

"May, where is your game console?"

Ash asked.

He remembered that May's game console had already been sent home by him last night.

And Ash's mother did not allow him to touch it.

Therefore, May currently had no game console to play with.

Thus, inside the arcade, May could only watch others play games.

"Hehe, Brother Ash, I locked it in the cabinet. In a while, I'll take you to get it."

May chuckled.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Ash nodded and then said, "May, let me wipe your sweat!"

As he spoke, Ash reached out to gently wipe the sweat from May's forehead.

"Heehee, Brother Ash, actually there's no need."

May shook her head.

However, although she refused, May did not dodge Ash's palm.

And this scene, falling into the eyes of the surrounding students playing nearby, caused them to curse under their breath.

"Damn it, this brat actually dares to take advantage of May!"

"Bastard!!!"
