chapter 9

"Thanks."

　　Zun Zun handed over the plate full of curry beef. Huihui thanked him and started to wolf it down again. Seeing this little Loli like this, Sister Taolao felt a surge of maternal love in her heart.

　　"By the way, Zun Zun, I forgot to ask when I just came back, what is your relationship?"

　　"…Huh?"

　　Zun Zun was stunned.

　　Thinking back carefully, it seems that I didn't really mention this matter just now.

　　What is their relationship?

　　Strictly speaking, Zun Zun and Hui Hui should be in the relationship of employer and helper. But now Zun Zun didn't want to expose his farming business, and suddenly he didn't know how to explain it.

　　"I know! We're friends!"

　　"friend...?"

　　"I'm so touched, Zun Zun. You've always been alone and never played with other children. I thought you would never make friends in the future, but I didn't expect that you would actually make friends..."

　　The sister looked extremely pleased with herself for trapping him.

　　No no no, it's a misunderstanding!

　　It's not that Zun Zun doesn't want to make friends, but there are too few Red Demons to meet anyone close to his age…

　　Well, he admitted that was an excuse.

　　But it is very painful for him, who has an adult soul, to make friends with children, not to mention a Crimson Demon child with a strong aura of chuunibyou. That would be even more painful.

　　"No, we are not friends!"

　　Zun Zun slammed the table and stood up.

　　The sudden action seemed to scare the two of them, and Huihui's action of stuffing food into her mouth stopped in mid-air.

　　The trapped sister said somewhat disappointedly: "Did I misunderstand? It turns out you two are not friends."

　　"No... that is... I mean, we are more than just friends. Yes, we are partners! We are closer friends!"

　　In order not to make his sister sad, Zun Zun became more and more excited and his tone became higher and higher.

　　"Really? That's great!"

　　The trapped sister clapped her hands happily.

　　"Well… Huihui, let's stay here tonight! This is our first sleepover as friends, okay? Oh, and let's take a bath together tonight!"

　　"Wait, wait, hold my sister back. If Huihui doesn't come home, her parents will be worried!"

　　"It doesn't matter. My father and mother are not at home today. To be exact, they haven't been home for nearly three months."

　　Huihui said these heartbreaking words calmly.

　　"That's perfect!"

　　Sister Trapped smiled and said, "Hui Hui, stay here tonight. I'll go prepare the bath water now!"

　　"Wait...Trap my sister, trap my sister!"

　　Sister Tao Lao, who had a hospitality spirit, didn't listen to Zun Zun at all. She quickly left the living room and went to the bathroom to prepare a bath, leaving Zun Zun covering his face with his hands in pain. He knew it would turn out like this.

　　Huihui looked at Zunzun.

　　"So, what is our relationship now?"

　　"Shh, don't ask, just keep eating."

　　"oh."

　　The little girl didn't dwell on these things. She was more focused on the curry beef on the plate and started to eat it with relish again.

　　After dinner it's time to take a bath.

　　In the bathroom, Zun Zun soaked himself in the bathtub, a little away from his sister and Huihui.

　　Obviously the space in the bathtub was very small, barely enough for two people, but now the three of them were squeezed together, and there was even a little space between Zun Zun and the two of them.

　　This situation is especially like being on a crowded bus.

　　It looks like the bus is jammed like a can of sardines, but passengers can still squeeze in. However, once an unexpected friction occurs, a fierce warrior duel will unfold on the bus, and a very large space will be opened up inexplicably.

　　"Zun Zun, come a little closer."

　　"No need, I'll be fine here."

　　Zun Zun knelt in the bathtub, closed his eyes, raised his head and straightened his back, with his hands on his knees. With the boiling hot steam coming out of the bathtub, he looked like an immortal who was about to ascend to heaven.

　　Don't get me wrong, he was not interested in trapping his sister and Huihui, he did this to avoid embarrassment. On the contrary, he was afraid that Huihui would be interested in him.

　　"We are all girls, why are you so shy?"

　　The trapped sister pulled Zun Zun over, and the two beautiful "little lolis" were held in her arms, one on the left and one on the right. If it weren't for the broad pectoral muscles that made people dizzy, some people would definitely shout "Let me do it"... Wait, there might be more people shouting at this time?

　　Hui Hui was also stunned. She stared blankly and couldn't help asking, "Um...what should I do to become like you, big sister?"

　　This is the second time she asked this question.

　　Unfortunately, the older sister last time did not tell her how to have broad pectoral muscles, and this time she asked the same question again, eager to get a clear answer.

　　It seems a bit difficult to trap my sister.

　　"Well..."

　　"Just eat well and eat more nutritious food. How can the body grow without nutrition?" Zun Zun said.

　　"Yes, eat well!"

　　The sister who was enlightened quickly agreed, and secretly gave Zun Zun a thumbs up.

　　The little Loli nodded thoughtfully.

　　"Yeah~~~"

　　Sister Trapped stretched, then stood up from the bathtub and said, "Sorry, the teacher asked us to do some chores today. I'm a little tired, so I'll go out first."

　　She strode out of the bathroom.

　　Although he said that, Zun Zun always felt that he was trapping his sister because he was afraid that Huihui would ask questions that she couldn't answer, so she ran away in fear.

　　Zun Zun and Hui Hui are in the bathtub.

　　One is on the left, the other on the right. There is a lot of space left between the two petite figures, making them seem a little distant.

　　The high water temperature made it hard to bear, but Zun Zun couldn't go out first, so he could only stay here with Huihui.

　　After a while, Huihui took the initiative to speak.

　　"Well... it's nice to have a sister."

　　"Why do you say that suddenly?"

　　"Because my father and mother are often not at home, I always fantasize about having a sister to take care of me. But unfortunately, I am an only child, and even if my father and mother have another child, I can only be a sister."

　　"So, why are you saying these things?"

　　"I want to say, please don't be nervous. Although I want to have a sister, I won't steal someone else's sister, so don't hate me so much."

　　"…Huh?"

　　Zun Zun was dumbfounded. Did Huihui think that he was jealous and hated her?

　　No way!

　　He didn't hate Huihui at all, he just didn't want to reveal his identity as a boy and be regarded as a pervert who liked to wear women's clothes.

　　I didn't expect that the estrangement from the little loli would lead to misunderstanding. Thinking back to what I did after I came back from trapping my sister, I couldn't help but slap my forehead.

　　"I hope you don't hate me. After all, the dinner made by Zun Zun is delicious."

　　"No, I..."

　　"That's it, I'm leaving first."

　　Huihui stood up from the bathtub and left the bathroom quickly without even wiping herself.

　　"…I don't hate you."

　　Zun Zun, lying in the bathtub, stared in a daze at the exclusive stripe code of the Crimson Demon Clan engraved on Huihui's butt.

13 Ming-style farming [Seeking bookshelf, seeking recommendation]

　　That night, Huihui stayed at Zunzun's house.

　　Three people lay on one bed.

　　The trapped sister hugged the two "little lolis" on the left and right, with a happy smile on her face, but that was all.

　　Nothing happened between them, not even a pajama party or a girls' tea party, probably because of the boys.

　　the next day.

　　After breakfast, Zun Zun prepared a lunch box for his sister and sent her to school before leaving home with Huihui.

　　The two walked towards the forbidden area.

　　In fact, in farming... no, I should say in all jobs, the most frightening thing is intermittent complacency and continuous idleness.

　　Fortunately, Huihui is not a college student. She has a deeper obsession with having enough food to eat. In addition, after asking her sister questions last night, she should not be lazy... right?

　　In fact, the worry is completely unnecessary.

　　Let alone being lazy, Huihui works even harder than Zunzun and leaves no stone unturned.

　　Having a full meal was indeed attractive to her.

　　In the morning, the two of them worked together to reclaim the third piece of land. In the afternoon, they cleaned up the debris on the reclaimed land, dug holes and planted seeds.

　　The two of them sat on the dilapidated altar, enjoying their lunch in the shade under the extra corner of the altar.

　　"Here, the leftover curry from yesterday."

　　"Thanks."

　　Huihui took the lunch box handed to her by Zunzun and started to eat.

　　The food after work is the best.

　　Not to mention, the curry becomes even more fragrant and delicious after the second cooking.

　　Zun Zun seemed to understand what their relationship was.

　　The afternoon sun shines warmly on the cornfield, and the breeze blows, with a gentle rustling sound in my ears. The cornfield is green, swaying in the wind like a romantic ocean.

　　Despite such beautiful scenery, Zun Zun couldn't enjoy it at all and instead felt a little depressed.

　　Other people's farming style, although it is called farming, is actually developing little by little, allowing their own power to gradually grow until they become a towering tree that can shake the world. However, Zun Zun's farming style is really farming. It cannot be said that there is a world of difference, but it can be said that there is a huge difference.

　　"Zun Zun, don't you want to eat?"

　　Huihui stared at the lunch box in Zunzun's hand, her ruby-like eyes revealing obvious desire.

　　"…Here you go."

　　Zun Zun burst out laughing.

　　Little greedy cat?

　　If I continue like this, won't I turn this little Loli into a foodie?

　　Soon, she finished up Zun Zun's lunch box, patted her slightly swollen belly and said contentedly, "Zun Zun's cooking is really delicious."

　　"It's all thanks to the expensive spices and the legendary beef." Zun Zun said casually.

　　"No, it's the cooking of Zun Zun that's delicious. I've certainly never eaten beef and curry, but in fact, no matter what the ingredients are, they don't taste that good on their own. What makes them delicious is the person who cooks them - this is what my mother told me when she brought back some very unpalatable weeds one day."

　　"Why do you want to eat weeds?"

　　Zun Zun really wanted to complain about her recipe.

　　Even the Crimson Demons who were extremely Chuunibyou didn't eat grass on purpose, because it wouldn't make them look cool. But for Megumin, who was trying to survive, it was a different story.

　　"By the way, what should we plant on this newly reclaimed land?"

　　Huihui was a little curious.
