Chapter 641

~6 min read 1,069 words

She looked at the boy beside her.

"My stomach doesn't feel well."

"I want to hear the truth."

"Comforting someone,"

Is it a girl?

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't even bother asking such a question that clearly didn't need asking.

The person who could make Lin Ye deliberately fake an illness to leave the classroom mid-lesson just to comfort them couldn't possibly be a man—at least, this man wasn't kind enough to comfort other men to that extent.

She was in a bad mood.

This time, Lin Ye and Yukinoshita Yukino were the first to arrive at the Service Club; naturally, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't count.

Sakurajima Mai stood by the window, leaning back against it, looking at the two of them with a calm expression.

Lin Ye had said he would come to the Service Club for lunch; sharing a meal with his beautiful, quasi-fiancée—for many boys, this would be a highly anticipated and longed-for event!

Thinking about it this way, Lin Ye was truly fortunate; he didn't know how many men would envy his experiences.

As far as she knew, every one of the girls Lin Ye had ambiguous relationships with was school-belle material, yet this guy was juggling several of them at once—his main style was being affectionate and polyamorous.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Ye noticed the change in Yukino's expression.

"I remember the chairs being placed straight."

Before leaving, she always made sure the tables and chairs were in their proper places.

"Maybe someone came by during the holiday!"

"Mm."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, accepting this explanation. She sat down, placed her bento on the table, and opened it.

"Here,"

Only then did Sakurajima Mai realize that Lin Ye's lunch bento had been prepared by Yukinoshita Yukino.

These two, who initially wouldn't even admit to a close relationship, were now quasi-fiancés, and Yukino was even preparing bentos for him—this relationship was definitely intimate by any standard.

"She's already making bentos for you, letting you stay at her apartment, and inviting you over for meals; I suggest you two just get married immediately and become a couple! There's no need to live apart anymore."

In Japan, people this age could already get married.

Lin Ye silently glanced at Sakurajima Mai.

He understood that look.

This was about not wanting to give up an entire forest for the sake of a single sapling waiting to grow!

This man was truly greedy.

'Knock, knock, knock...'

A knocking sound rang out.

"Hello, hello,"

Yuigahama Yui opened the classroom door and waved, greeting them proactively.

The way her 'dango' bounced made Sakurajima Mai take a few extra surprised looks.

At this age, to be that well-endowed—was it real or fake?

But then again, this girl with the pink dango was quite cute; her exquisite makeup led her to judge that this girl was the type who pursued fashion, showing a clear difference from Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yuigahama Yui sat down as well and took out the bento she had brought.

Lin Ye opened the bento box pushed in front of him, and he froze.

At a glance, it was all vegetarian.

Greens, carrots, tomatoes, paired with rice—the colors of the bento were very pleasing, but the nutrition was severely unbalanced.

"Yukinoshita, I... am not on a diet."

"Eating more vegetables will give you less energy and fewer ideas."

There was a hidden meaning in her words.

Absolutely.

Lin Ye knew even better that this was Yukino's little revenge, expressing her dissatisfaction with him.

"I want to eat meat."

Finally,

Under Lin Ye's gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino placed a small piece of steak from her own bento box into Lin Ye's.

"You're such a good person!"

It had to be meat.

Without meat, it just wouldn't do.

Lin Ye picked up his chopsticks and ate the rice first.

The taste hadn't changed at all.

Afterward, he ate the tomatoes and greens; there wasn't much change there either.

Finally, it was the steak.

If he ate the steak and there was still no change, then this 'Devour' superpower probably had no necessary connection to eating.

He would have to approach it from other angles.

Lin Ye took a bite.

The steak cooked by Yukinoshita Yukino still tasted quite good; although it had gone cold due to the time, the flavor was still delicious.

The taste of black pepper coating the beef spread across his tongue; the meat was delicate and elastic. In terms of selection, the young lady had definitely chosen high-quality ingredients.

This showed how focused the girl was on it.

But even now, Lin Ye didn't perceive any changes in his body.

Even eating meat didn't work.

Lin Ye felt a little disappointed.

"What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"

"No, it's my problem; I just thought of something."

Lin Ye took a second bite, and suddenly, his eyes changed.

"Yukinoshita, can you taste chicken in this steak? How did you manage that?"

How magical!

Lin Ye took a few more bites, and he found the taste of chicken in all of them.

On this point, he still had confidence.

"Chicken flavor? That's impossible."

Making steak taste like chicken?

Wasn't that going the long way around?

The price of beef was much higher than chicken, and she had used top-quality steak; if she had turned it into chicken flavor, the price would have multiplied several times over—it would be a total waste of good ingredients.

Lin Ye ate some more, but he definitely tasted chicken.

Yukinoshita Yukino also tasted it, savoring it carefully. "There's no problem at all. Yuigahama-san, you try it."

She handed the bento box to Yuigahama Yui.

"I, I'll try it,"

Yuigahama Yui took a piece and ate it. "Steak. There's no chicken flavor. Lin-kun, is your body not feeling well, affecting your sense of taste?"

Was his sense of taste malfunctioning?

But the next second,

Lin Ye suddenly felt that the steak in his mouth also had the taste of broccoli.

What the hell, what was going on?

Was the drawback that it affected his sense of taste?

Suddenly,

A unique, faint fragrance drifted into Lin Ye's nostrils.

This wasn't the smell of ingredients, but the scent of a woman.

Lin Ye blinked and looked at Yukino, then at Yuigahama Yui, and even glanced at Sakurajima Mai, but he remembered very clearly that the scents of the three young ladies were completely different from this one.

Did it even affect his sense of smell?
