Chapter 92

Wearing a white apron, Sae Tokishima was busy in the kitchen.

Dressed in a cool summer outfit, her shorts accentuated her long, beautiful legs.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Sae Tokishima smiled lightly, "Since there was some leftover pork cutlet from lunch, I decided to make a pork cutlet rice bowl."

Looking at the steaming bowl of rice in front of her, the aroma of the meat and eggs, and the nori sprinkled on top, it was clear that even though it was made from leftovers, it was no less impressive.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks, Sae Tokishima brought over a bowl of steaming miso soup.

"Wow, this looks great." Lin Yifan was about to start eating when he noticed a change in Sae Tokishima's expression. He smiled and put down his chopsticks, clasping his hands together, "I won't be shy."

He took a sip of the soup to whet his appetite, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Sae Tokishima, sitting beside the table, propped her chin in her hand, her hair falling down, her eyes filled with a smile as she watched Lin Yifan savor the pork cutlet rice bowl, leaving not a single grain behind.

"Hmm, Sae's cooking... is really good."

Hearing Lin Yifan's muffled words, Sae Tokishima covered her lips with her small hand and laughed lightly, "You have a bit of rice on your mouth."

Sae Tokishima extended her delicate hand, gently removing the grain of rice from the corner of Lin Yifan's mouth and tasting it carefully.

At first, Sae Tokishima didn't realize anything, but when she saw Lin Yifan's gaze, she blushed slightly, "Is it... too bad?"

"It's good, very cute."

"Cute?"

Sae Tokishima was slightly taken aback, her face flushing. In school, she had heard mostly about her coolness and handsomeness, and this was the first time someone had called her cute.

While Sae Tokishima was still in a daze, Lin Yifan had already finished a large bowl of miso soup and patted his stomach contentedly.

These days had been too busy, with his nerves constantly on edge.

Now, he could finally take a break.

"Um, I'll go wash the dishes." Sae Tokishima got up to clear the table, not wanting Lin Yifan to see her blushing face.

Nodding, Lin Yifan leaned back in his chair, his eyes half-closed as the fan blew the wind chimes, and the sound of running water and occasional clinking of dishes came from the kitchen.

Although it was an infinite city, the room's soundproofing was excellent, with no noise at all. There was no restlessness typical of a city, only peace and quiet.

The only sounds were the breathing of the two lazy cats on the sofa.

Saya turned over, hugging a pillow and mumbling, "Daddy... Mommy..."

Lin Yifan, sitting in the chair, was about to doze off, staring at everything in the room, small but peaceful and comfortable.

At this moment, Sae Tokishima brought a plate of sliced watermelon and asked, "Do you want some?"

"Sure." Taking the watermelon, Lin Yifan felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation in this lazy atmosphere.

Taking a bite of the watermelon, Lin Yifan's gaze turned wistful as he looked at Saya, "By the way, since I brought you here, have you thought about going back?"

"Me? I have no reason to go back. Actually, it's not bad. This morning, I found a martial arts dojo with virtual characters to practice with. If you have time, we can go together?"

Sae Tokishima seemed to have discovered a new world, looking very happy.

"Definitely." Lin Yifan smiled lazily.

At this moment, Nan Liang sneezed and the sleepy woman slowly sat up.

Staring at Nan Liang's beautifully toned abs, Lin Yifan teased, "Be careful not to catch a cold. It's hot, but you can't be so bold, can you?"

"I'll do as I please. Don't forget, my Shizuka is a doctor."

Nan Liang carelessly showed off her tanned skin in front of Lin Yifan, roughly snatching the watermelon from his hand and eating it without any grace.

Saya, woken up by the noise, rubbed her eyes and, seeing the three of them eating together, immediately sat up, "How mean! You didn't wake me up, hmph!"

The watermelon that Lin Yifan had just picked up was taken by Saya again. Seeing this, Lin Yifan could only smile bitterly, realizing he wouldn't get to eat it.

"There's still plenty in the fridge, mine..."

Sae Tokishima was about to offer her half-eaten watermelon, but Saya's eyes widened, and she forced the small bite of watermelon into Lin Yifan's hand, "Here, take it, hmph."

"Wha?" Looking at the watermelon with Saya's tooth marks, Lin Yifan couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Saya stomped her bare feet and ran to the fridge, quickly grabbed another watermelon, and ran back, staring at the watermelon in Lin Yifan's hand that he hadn't started eating, and said discontentedly, "Eat it, you should have said earlier. I ran all the way for nothing."

"Uh..."

Under Saya's fierce gaze, Lin Yifan finally took a bite of the watermelon.

At the spot where Saya had bitten, a trace of clear liquid remained. Under the little tiger's watchful eyes, Lin Yifan opened his mouth and bit down.

The sweet and fragrant watermelon had a slightly different sweetness. After savoring it for a while, Lin Yifan swallowed. Seeing Saya pout, he blushed, realizing he had been too gentlemanly.

But... wasn't it just that he was eating slowly, savoring the "sweetness" of the watermelon?

"By the way, I have to arrest someone these next few days. We'll probably enter the next cycle soon. Do any of you want to come?"

As soon as Lin Yifan finished speaking, the three women stopped chewing and raised their hands enthusiastically, "I want to go."

"As a police officer, even though I've switched to being a prison guard, I don't want to stay in that broken place and listen to the prisoners' cries all day," Nan Liang said first.

Saya crossed her arms, accentuating her ample chest, and huffed, "I'm not worried about you. I just don't like being a freeloader. I'll put in mental labor, and it's fair exchange, got it?"

Listening to their explanations, both seemed reasonable, so Lin Yifan nodded without saying much and turned his gaze to Sae Tokishima.

She was more straightforward, picking up the Muramasa blade and holding it in front of her, "The sword needs to taste blood."

Seeing their enthusiasm, Lin Yifan didn't rush to agree but said, "We don't know what the next world will be like yet, but I want to prepare some weapons. We have enough guns, but I want to buy you all a sword."

Hearing about buying weapons, Nan Liang excitedly shouted, "Great! Let's go!"

"What are we waiting for?" Saya also seemed impatient.

"Wait, are you sure?"

Lin Yifan looked at the bold Nan Liang and the very coolly dressed Saya, thinking that their outfits would be too eye-catching outside.

Saya immediately understood and pushed the two women into the house, "I'll go and disguise myself so I won't be recognized by the cycle participants, hehe."

"Wait, what about Zhou Xin's plan?" Lin Yifan suddenly remembered the plan Saya had mentioned.

The petite Saya pushed Sae Tokishima and Nan Liang, turned back, and made an OK gesture, "I've asked the otaku to handle it. It shouldn't go wrong."

After saying that, Saya slammed the door shut.
