Chapter 823

"Haha, maybe!"

Iroha Isshiki thought that if she had siblings, they would probably be a huge headache!

The Fujibayashi sisters prepared dinner,

a sumptuous Japanese meal.

From deep-fried tempura to miso soup and grilled saury, the most common Japanese dishes were all on the table.

Each dish was exquisitely prepared and beautifully plated, and the cooked food emitted a faint, enticing fragrance.

"Welcome to both of you, and I'd like to express my sincere gratitude once again for your help the other day."

"No need to thank us, no need."

Iroha Isshiki smiled and kept waving her hands, indicating there was no need to be so formal.

"If we encounter something, we help. Miss Fujibayashi doesn't need to worry about it."

"I still have to thank you,"

she said to Lin Ye,

but there was a hidden meaning in her words that Lin Ye caught.

And Fujibayashi Muku, seeing that the interaction between Lin Ye and her sister Fujibayashi Kyou had become much more normal and that her sister's attitude toward Lin Ye had improved significantly, felt a weight lifted from her heart.

The four of them started eating.

Not long after,

Lin Ye felt a change in the taste on his tongue.

The drawback of the Devour superpower was shared once again.

The target was...

Hmm?

Lin Ye blinked,

he was eating saury, but the taste of tempura also appeared in his mouth—Fujibayashi Kyou and Iroha Isshiki were both eating tempura. But besides tempura, Lin Ye also tasted grilled chicken—Fujibayashi Muku was eating grilled chicken.

No way!

Lin Ye had a bold guess.

This time, the target of the drawback wasn't one person, but two, but from the perspective of the superpower's drawback, it was treated as one person.

Do twins have this kind of effect?

Lin Ye marveled in his heart.

After a while, Lin Ye clearly felt that Fujibayashi Kyou and Fujibayashi Muku had also noticed a little bit of a problem, but neither of them made a scene, silently accepting it instead.

"Come, have some fruit wine, Muku."

Fujibayashi Kyou fetched a bottle of wine and poured half a small glass for her sister Muku.

"Mr. Lin and Isshiki-san, just have juice!"

This left Iroha Isshiki disappointed.

She actually wanted to try it, but in Japan, you have to be twenty years old to drink alcoholic beverages.

Although it wouldn't be a big deal to drink secretly, Iroha Isshiki wouldn't be the one to suggest it. If Fujibayashi Kyou had offered, she would have accepted.

However,

she didn't.

"I have orange juice and apple juice here. What would you like?"

"Orange juice,"

"Apple juice,"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Fujibayashi Kyou went to the kitchen alone to prepare.

A while later, she placed the orange juice in front of Lin Ye and the apple juice in front of Iroha Isshiki.

Lin Ye sniffed it.

She wouldn't have drugged it, would she!

It's fine; with the Devour superpower, even if it were drugged, he would be fine.

Ten minutes later,

Fujibayashi Muku started yawning, and Iroha Isshiki was in a similar state, yawning repeatedly.

"Sister, I... I'm a bit sleepy. I'll... go back to my room to rest. I'll leave the cleaning to you."

Fujibayashi Muku staggered as she tried to get up and head to her room. Fujibayashi Kyou immediately got up to support her sister Muku,

"Lin Ye, help Isshiki-san to her room."

By now, Lin Ye was certain of one thing:

the sleepiness of these two was definitely not natural; they had been drugged with sleeping pills.

Soon,

Fujibayashi Muku was lying in her room, and Iroha Isshiki was settled in the guest room.

"Miss Fujibayashi, what are you..."

Fujibayashi Kyou rolled her eyes, "What do you think!"

She went downstairs,

"Wait for me a moment; I'll clear the table first. It won't take long."

She immediately started cleaning up.

Lin Ye didn't know whether to sit or stand.

He knew exactly what Fujibayashi Kyou's goal was.

His body was feeling a bit hot!

Seven or eight minutes later, Fujibayashi Kyou came to Lin Ye, "Let's go! To my room. I will fulfill the promise I made to you."

As she said this, she headed toward the stairs, but seeing Lin Ye didn't follow, she gritted her teeth and grabbed his wrist, "What, are you afraid?"

"Are you, a grown man, afraid of a little woman like me?"

Lin Ye thought for a moment and said, "Is it okay to do it at home?"

"The soundproofing in my house is quite good. Muku and Isshiki are both asleep. Or are you really afraid, are you a coward?"

"How could that be? I generally don't refuse pretty girls, let alone be afraid."

A fire burned in his heart.

Lin Ye looked at Fujibayashi Kyou, his body still heating up, "You put something in the orange juice, didn't you!"

"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to perform, so I added a little something,"

I wouldn't be able to perform?

Are you kidding me!

How could my Devour superpower not solve this? Wouldn't toxins and the like be easily devoured completely, leaving no effect on the body?

But why,

this time, the superpower didn't work; instead...

No, it did work, but it maximized the effect of the drug! Like caffeine?

If this continues, tonight will be a stimulating battlefield.

He had been killed by the side effects of the Devour superpower.
