"We've finished picking the hops, buddy. Is there anything else you need us to do?"
The physically tiny but terrifyingly strong Suika Ibuki casually walked entirely over completely from a hazy distance, aggressively holding her green skirt completely up entirely in both hands exactly like a makeshift sack, entirely inside exactly which were absolutely all the thousands of bitter, green hops she had rapidly collected.
Yuugi Hoshiguma, a massive, towering Oni, completely sat comfortably entirely on the tiny Suika's fragile-looking shoulders and loudly, boisterously greeted Leo. They completely didn't logically have Leo's massive, magical inventory backpack, so they completely could entirely only actively collect the precious hops completely in the absolute most primitive, labor-intensive way. But entirely anyway, exactly as legendary Oni, they completely had entirely plenty completely of monstrous strength and brutal methods, and aggressively managed completely to physically bring entirely over a massive, entire field's worth entirely of hops absolutely all completely at exactly once!
"Nothing else, just unload the hops here, rest for a while and then we'll get ready to eat. The beer will take about two days to brew, so remember to come back for beer the day after tomorrow morning."
Exactly once Suika completely had heavily placed absolutely all the massive pile of fragrant hops completely on the dirt ground, Leo smoothly put entirely on his glowing, purple Iridium Magnet Ring, heavily carried the magical backpack, and casually walked entirely around the massive green pile. With a loud vworp sound, the ring magnetically vacuumed and completely collected absolutely all the hops directly into his inventory! Entirely then, Yukari Yakumo lazily, cleanly opened a swirling, dark Gap directly leading completely to the industrial plain entirely to actively start the massive, automated brewing barrels, and the massive agricultural task was completely, flawlessly completed.
Exactly when Leo entirely returned completely to the massive picnic area, the massive, boiling pots entirely of winter melon soup completely had entirely already actively started aggressively cooking! The massive wooden tables were heavily modeled completely after exactly those entirely in bustling, modern hot pot restaurants, completely with exactly four exhausted people comfortably seated entirely at exactly each table.
Exactly in the absolute middle entirely of each table was a massive, bubbling iron pot completely full of clear winter melon soup, aggressively surrounded entirely by plates of thinly chopped, premium chicken and rich mutton, exactly as well completely as absolutely various freshly picked, vibrant vegetables. You completely could entirely just actively put absolutely whatever you completely wanted directly into the boiling pot entirely yourself!
However, entirely today's massive, heavy main dish was completely still the aggressive, sizzling stir-fried vegetables completely with steamed rice: heavily braised, oily purple eggplant, aggressively spicy stir-fried pork completely with blistering chili peppers, rich braised chicken, and thick, glistening braised pork belly!
Leo aggressively cooked absolutely all the massive dishes she entirely liked, absolutely all completely of exactly which were incredibly, unforgivingly heavy completely on sizzling oil and coarse salt. Aggressively served completely with a massive, steaming bowl entirely of white rice, it entirely smelled completely so incredibly, violently good it magically made everyone's toes actively curl and scratch the inside of their shoes!
Normally, the strict, heavily diet-controlled racehorse girls absolutely wouldn't entirely dare completely eat exactly this fatty, oily food; the terrifying Hayakawa Tazuna completely would violently let entirely out a massive, ear-piercing screech exactly if they completely took exactly a single, greasy bite! But the absolute, extreme ocean swimming challenge brutally arranged entirely by Symboli Rudolf exactly in the freezing morning completely had violently consumed a massive, ridiculous amount entirely of their physical energy, so completely even the absolute most polite, aristocratic young ladies were entirely, aggressively shoveling white rice heartily directly into their mouths exactly like starving wolves!
The massive dozen or entirely so rice cookers meticulously prepared completely by the Great Fairy (Daiyousei) tragically seemed entirely a little incredibly insufficient!
"Miss, please eat slowly. Let me wipe your mouth for you."
Sakuya Izayoi's usually stoic voice violently trembled completely with massive, barely contained emotion exactly as she entirely watched the precious eldest and second young ladies aggressively, happily eat the sizzling food Hong Meiling completely had prepared; her aristocratic heart was literally, physically bleeding! Exactly especially completely since the lazy Meiling completely had entirely, specially aggressively cooked her entirely own regional dishes exactly for the eldest young lady!
Massive, vibrant plates of sweet and sour scrambled eggs completely with fresh tomatoes, aggressively spicy and incredibly fragrant Mao Xue Wang (a brutal Sichuan dish swimming in red chili oil), and a massive plate entirely of sizzling stir-fried pork liver exactly that's completely, entirely even physically more mathematically tender exactly than Sakuya's completely own leg!
Exactly what entirely on earth is Meiling actively trying completely to do?! Is this a violent culinary coup d'état?!
A massive, terrifying, highly vivid scene violently flashed completely through Sakuya's paranoid mind: Hong Meiling completely had entirely won completely over the eldest and second young ladies completely with her aggressive cooking skills, and completely now she was triumphantly holding exactly one entirely in exactly each hand, arrogantly looking entirely down completely at Sakuya violently kneeling entirely on the cold ground, mercilessly saying things exactly like, "You entirely useless, silver-haired maid, violently hurry completely up and actively take completely off your frilly maid outfit and gracefully go obediently guard the front gate!"
Entirely then, completely tragically alone entirely in the freezing, cold guardhouse exactly in the pouring rain, she completely looked entirely through the tiny, cracked small window entirely at the warm, golden lights completely inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and exactly in the cruel reflection completely of the wet window, she actively saw the massive shadows entirely of Hong Meiling happily feeding and entirely bullying the eldest and second young ladies completely with her spicy food.
It physically hurts, it completely hurts entirely so incredibly much!
"You! Go and cook me two dishes."
Violently watching Hong Meiling happily feeding the chaotic Flandre, Sakuya aggressively activated the legendary, aura-infused Great Wilderness Imprisoning Finger (pointing furiously at Meiling with lethal intent!).
"You're such a good cook, huh? I never knew you were so good at cooking before. Go and cook me a couple of dishes. If I don't like them, you won't get your salary this month."
"Ah? Oh, Miss Sakuya, please wait a moment."
Peacefully putting completely down her wooden chopsticks, Hong Meiling happily went directly to the smoking open-air kitchen. The fancy, aristocratic food completely at the Scarlet Devil Mansion was strictly, specially entirely made completely by Sakuya. The eldest and second young ladies completely didn't logically eat pungent garlic, so entirely their spicy dishes were completely made actively separately. Completely now exactly that she was entirely making it actively separately exactly for Miss Sakuya, it entirely would completely be incredibly much easier!
Exactly after aggressively simmering a massive, pungent handful entirely of minced garlic completely in a sizzling iron pan exactly until the intense aroma exploded, she violently added plump, peeled shrimp and aggressively stir-fried them with a burst of high heat. Sakuya secretly loves heavy garlic, and exactly this massive plate entirely of golden garlic shrimp completely will absolutely, definitely deeply satisfy her!
Exactly after casually telling Leo, Meiling aggressively scooped a massive, jade-like clove entirely of pickled green garlic completely from a heavy ceramic jar, entirely added a massive, steaming bowl entirely of perfect rice, and a highly flavorful, rustic side dish was flawlessly ready!
Casually finding an entirely empty wooden table and heavily sitting completely down, Hong Meiling patiently waited completely for the eldest and second young ladies entirely to completely finish entirely eating. Aggressively serving completely such a pungent dish completely with an extremely high, intense garlic content entirely near the vampires would entirely be absolutely no legally less exactly than serving them a massive, rotting plate entirely of stinky tofu. It entirely would completely be physically better entirely to actively wait completely for Miss Sakuya entirely to completely come entirely over exactly later.
Exactly seeing Hong Meiling completely sitting entirely not incredibly far entirely away and happily winking entirely at her, Sakuya's gloved fists violently, aggressively hardened! Exactly after the precious young lady completely finished actively eating, Sakuya aggressively used her terrifying time stop entirely to instantly, flawlessly clean completely up the messy table, elegantly brewed a steaming pot entirely of premium black tea, and entirely then aggressively walked completely over completely with a terrifyingly dark, murderous face.
...
"I lost! I'll go to work at the guardhouse right now, and I'll take off my maid outfit for you right away."
Exactly with a highly critical, hawkish eye, Sakuya had violently sat completely down, maliciously intending completely to aggressively criticize the rustic appearance of the food, but the blindingly golden, fragrant garlic and plump shrimp completely left her absolutely, physically speechless! The jade-like pickled garlic completely on the absolute other side entirely had a flawless, translucent texture, and absolutely even the steaming rice was completely, perfectly physically separated completely grain by grain, aggressively leaving absolutely no mathematical room completely for fault!
The intense, exploding garlic flavor exactly after aggressively eating exactly it violently caused Sakuya's absolute mental defenses completely to violently crumble exactly into dust, entirely leaving her completely in a tragic, culinary daze!
So... absolutely all exactly those highly complex, fancy French things I completely made exactly before were entirely just good-looking and I was completely just familiar entirely with them?! I am a complete culinary fraud!
Sakuya slowly, mechanically, in absolute, total defeat, completely placed her trembling hand directly on the frilly shoulder strap completely of her pristine maid outfit. Exactly at completely this devastating moment, Hong Meiling's relaxed figure was incredibly, terrifyingly tall exactly in her eyes, magically radiating a massive, blinding culinary light exactly that was absolutely impossible entirely to look directly at!
"Oh? No, the guardhouse is great. If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
Exactly just entirely as Sakuya was completely, tragically about entirely to violently take completely off her iconic maid outfit entirely in public surrender, Hong Meiling quickly, frantically went entirely up and aggressively, tightly hugged Sakuya, stopping her entirely, and things were suddenly looking entirely very promising and wholesome completely between the two.
"That was great, I'm full."
Leo happily soaked a massive bowl entirely of white rice completely in the thick, gelatinous braised pork sauce, aggressively finished the absolute rest completely of the heavy dishes, and happily patted his expanding, full belly completely comfortably. He completely had entirely a massive, incredibly heavy meal entirely of fatty meat and fresh fish entirely today.
He casually wondered exactly what the innocent little fairies completely would physically look exactly like exactly when they completely went entirely back and tragically found exactly that their animal companions were completely, entirely gone (eaten). Exactly right completely now, the massive swarm of little fairies were absolutely all entirely very physically satisfied and full.
"What about mine?"
Suddenly, a massive, freezing drop in atmospheric temperature occurred, and a tiny, icy blue figure violently, magically appeared completely in exactly front entirely of Leo! Cirno stood angrily completely with her small hands aggressively planted completely on her freezing hips!
She completely had entirely been aggressively cosplaying entirely as a frozen snowman completely for a incredibly long, freezing time exactly to magically chill the massive pile of watermelons! She was completely, finally safely freed entirely up exactly when Youmu Konpaku completely came entirely over completely to actively cut the massive watermelon vegetables, but exactly when she excitedly ran completely over, she violently, tragically found exactly that absolutely everyone completely had entirely finished actively eating, and completely only she absolutely hadn't entirely eaten exactly yet!
"Uh... um..."
Leo frantically, terrifiedly glanced entirely at the massive, open-air kitchen and violently breathed a massive sigh entirely of relief. There was completely, magically still exactly only a little tiny bit entirely of braised food completely left...
...gone!
"I'm full!"
Oguri Cap—the absolute, bottomless, terrifying black hole of the Tracen Academy—happily patted her massively round, painfully stretched belly, happily picked entirely up a massive plate entirely of chilled, sliced watermelon, and peacefully walked completely back to her table, completely having vacuumed the absolute last drop of food!
"What about mine!"
Cirno's icy, crystalline wings aggressively began entirely to violently shimmer completely with a highly dangerous, piercing icy blue light! The massive Food Fairy completely hadn't entirely forgotten her, had she?! Entirely today, she, the absolute Cirno-sama, was a massive, great hero; actively chilling entirely so incredibly many massive watermelons completely had aggressively exhausted her physical mana!
"Yes, yes, just a moment. To thank Cirno for her help, I specially waited for you to come so I could make it for you separately."
Leo frantically, desperately went back to the hot kitchen and aggressively, violently used the absolute last leftover scraps of cold rice and stray ingredients exactly to rapidly, furiously make a massive, sizzling plate of mixed fried rice, exactly which completely, miraculously finally managed entirely to actively fool the dense Cirno!
"Come on, let's eat watermelon. I want half of it, and I'll scoop it out with a spoon."
Aggressively holding entirely a massive, freezing cold half of a green watermelon, Leo incredibly skillfully used a silver spoon entirely to rapidly spin a perfect circle completely in the absolute middle, exactly which was the absolute, mathematically sweetest, crispest part completely of the absolute whole massive watermelon!
"Ah~~ Open your mouth."
He romantically, gently held the massive spoonful entirely of dripping, sweet watermelon directly to Ran Yakumo's soft lips, and Ran completely also lovingly handed Leo a massive, juicy slice entirely of watermelon she was delicately holding. The two comfortably, romantically exchanged the sweet tips completely of their watermelons, exactly which were incredibly, piercingly icy cold and entirely, profoundly sweet completely to their happy hearts.
