Chapter 194

Hmm, Uchiha Mikoto, she must be able to cook up a storm!

At least better than Kushina.

Speak of Kushina, and Kushina arrives.

"Cough, cough!"

In the backyard.

Billowing clouds of thick smoke drifted over.

Uzumaki Kushina coughed incessantly as she walked over, carrying a plate of something pitch-black.

Her face was stained by the black smoke, making her look like a little calico cat.

She stared at the 'food' on the plate in her hand and hesitated slightly, saying, "This... is this still edible?"

Uzumaki Chihiro: "..."

What do you think?

She cast her gaze toward Uzumaki Chihiro and probed, "Brother Chihiro, why don't you have a taste?"

Uzumaki Chihiro sighed and said helplessly, "I should have left you in Konoha back then; that way, you could have ruled Konoha by relying on your cooking."

"Hehe!"

Uzumaki Kushina stuck out her tongue and was just about to run over to act spoiled when she realized there were outsiders in the living room.

She suddenly froze in place, feeling awkward.

Uchiha Mikoto hesitated for a moment before calling out softly, "... Kushina?"

"Hmm?"

Uzumaki Kushina took a closer look and then exclaimed in surprise, "Mikoto! Why are you here in the Land of Whirlpools? Are you here as a guest?"

It really is Kushina!

Seeing a familiar face, Uchiha Mikoto finally felt a sense of relief.

Then, she smiled gently, remembering what the big-chested sister next to her had said earlier, and replied, "Um, I think I'm here to be a personal maid for Lord Soul King..."

By the end of the sentence, Uchiha Mikoto's face was slightly flushed, and she snuck a glance at Uzumaki Chihiro.

She knew what a personal maid meant.

Uzumaki Chihiro was a bit bewildered. A personal maid?

He cast his gaze toward Matsumoto Rangiku, only to find that she didn't dare look at him at all.

Did this woman go around spouting nonsense again?

As the dignified Lord Soul King, could he really lay a hand on these young girls?

"A personal maid!"

Uzumaki Kushina's eyes widened, and she let out an exclamation.

Then, she looked at Uzumaki Chihiro with a look of contempt.

"Pervert!"

Uzumaki Chihiro: "..."

An unmerited disaster!

Hmm...

But having Uchiha Mikoto as a personal maid wouldn't be bad either.

At the very least, it might get Kushina to give up on entering the kitchen.

Uchiha Mikoto secretly sized up Uzumaki Chihiro and Uzumaki Kushina.

The intimate relationship between the two earlier made her feel a bit concerned.

This Lord Soul King seems quite easy to talk to.

He's not as outrageous as the village rumors say...

And, she focused her gaze on their matching bright red hair.

She had some guesses in her heart.

Perhaps.

It's the complete opposite of what the village says.

Kushina wasn't snatched away by a bad person.

She simply returned to her own home.

In Konoha, she had never seen Kushina have such rich expressions.

This just goes to show that Kushina is living very well here.

At this moment, Uzumaki Chihiro also made a decision.

He asked, "Can you cook?"

Uchiha Mikoto was stunned for a moment and said modestly, "I suppose... I know a little."

"Good! Then you shall be my maid!"

Uzumaki Chihiro made the decision on the spot.

Uchiha Mikoto's face turned beet red, blushing all the way down to her neck.

Her heart suddenly began to pound violently.

A maid.

It really is a personal maid...

But this outcome is already far better than she had imagined.

Plus, the master she is serving is easy on the eyes.

She can do this!

Uchiha Mikoto cheered herself on in her heart!

It's just that.

What does a personal maid have to do?

Is it...

Something like warming the bed...
