Chapter 759: Saiki Kusuo (17)
"Ah, ah, don't be polite, Yunci-san. This is the first time someone has come to our house to celebrate Kusuo's birthday. Mom, I'm so happy..."
The dining table was filled with meals carefully prepared by Qi Mu's mother.
Under the expectant gaze of Qi Mu's mother, Yun Ci picked up a fried chicken leg, put it on the plate, and took a big bite.
"good to eat."
Qi Mu's mother smiled brightly: "As long as you like it, eat more."
"Thank you, Auntie. You can eat too."
The birthday boy, Saiki Kusuo, sat aside unnoticed, eating his meal quietly, but his entire attention was on the giant coffee pudding that he saw with his super powers.
--I'm stuffed.
"So fast!" Saiki's mother looked at Saiki Kusuo's empty bowl, then looked at the few dishes in front of him. Knowing her son well, she immediately understood Saiki Kusuo's thoughts, "No, Kusuo, you still have to eat well!"
——That’s enough.
"But Xiaoci hasn't finished her meal yet." It would be inappropriate to serve dessert now.
——When did you become so close?
So good that you just change the name?
Never mind.
This is not important.
——That’s true. I’ll eat some more then.
"If you can't eat, don't force yourself."
Qi Mu's mother did not hesitate to interrupt: "Kusuo has a big appetite. He is thinking about the coffee pudding you brought, Xiaoci."
"Is that so?" Yun Ci looked at Saiki Kusuo with a smile.
Saiki Kusuo looked away.
——I ate it after dinner.
"Qi Mu, I really like to eat this."
Coffee pudding, coffee jelly.
"Yeah, yeah, coffee pudding is Kusuo's only favorite food..."
Saiki Kusuo picked up another piece of fried food with his chopsticks and ate it in a disjointed manner as the two of them chatted.
She put down her chopsticks only after Yun Ci had almost finished eating.
Without any request from Saiki's mother, Saiki Kusuo used his superpowers to clear an empty space on the dining table, which was just enough to place the large-sized coffee pudding he had just unpacked.
Saiki's mother was startled and came close to Saiki Kusuo and whispered, "Hey, Kusuo, are you okay like this? Xiaoci is still here!"
—It doesn’t matter, she knows.
"!"
Qi Mu's mother froze in shock.
Know, know, know…know?!
Oh my goodness.
This is the first person besides their family who knows that Kusuo is a person with super powers!
And she's a girl!
Saiki's mother held her hands to her heart with excitement: "Nansuo, are you and Xiaoci...in a relationship?"
——Not yet.
return? !
If you say so...
Qi Mu's mother ran to get her cell phone and called Qi Mu's father directly.
"Moshimoshi? Husband? Big news! Let me tell you! Our Kusuo has a girl he likes!"
Saiki K: ...
Yun Ci smiled as she looked at Saiki Kusuo, who was eating coffee pudding with a satisfied look on his face.
"like?"
--like.
"Are you talking about the coffee pudding, or me?"
Saiki Kusuo held up the spoon and looked at Yun Ci.
——Both.
"Eh..." Yun Ci held up her chin and looked at him, "What a surprise, I didn't expect this."
She thought that Saiki K. just had a crush on her.
After all, it's rare to come across a being that won't turn into a skeleton even if you stare at it for a long time.
Plus, the two of them have a common secret.
Such a 'setting' can easily bring the two closer together and then slowly change the relationship.
Yunci is really good at 'boiling a frog in warm water'.
This seems to be the first time that her love target confessed to her before she even started pursuing him?
Yun Ci doesn’t remember much.
She has lived for too long, and if she doesn't sort out her rich memories, she would probably go crazy now.
Therefore, after each life ends, she will seal the memories into the "Memory Book".
Even though it is sealed, it is not the kind that is completely forgotten.
The "Memory Book" is connected to her sea of consciousness. As long as she has a thought, the "Memory Book" will automatically turn to the page where she has sealed the relevant memory.
Well... to put it simply, the "memory book" can be considered her external brain.
To put it more simply, when the computer memory is insufficient, you can connect an external mobile hard drive.
Yes, it is like that.
However, the connection cable between her 'computer' and 'mobile hard drive' will not be disconnected and will always be connected.
When it is not in use, it is equivalent to not existing.
Yunci's brain only contains the memories she left behind.
Therefore, for Yun Ci, every time she enters a new world, it is no different from reincarnation with her childhood memories.
It’s all a new beginning.
This is getting off topic.
Yun Ci's thoughts returned to reality, and she saw the coffee pudding that had been half eaten by Saiki Kusuo.
"!"
This is a 20-inch coffee pudding!
Yun Ci looked at the satisfied Saiki Kusuo and asked, "Aren't you full?"
——No, I can go on.
"...You've already eaten enough for almost 10 people." Yun Ci said with some concern, "Even if you're a superpower, your internal organs won't change much, right? Don't overeat."
——Don't worry, everything will be fine.
Yunci looked at the living room door and saw that Qi Mu’s mother had gone to make a phone call and had not returned.
"Why don't we eat the rest in the evening?"
——That’s true. It would be a waste to enjoy it all at once.
Saiki Kusuo used his superpowers to clean up the restaurant and said to Yun Ci.
——Then let’s go sit in the living room.
"Would you like to go for a walk?"
The weather is just right now, and it’s not too hot to take a walk.
Saiki Kusuo knew Yun Ci's concerns. He touched his stomach which was indeed a little bloated, and decided to accept the proposal.
I was a bit too unrestrained this afternoon.
Do some proper exercise.
"Don't you need to tell Auntie?"
——I left a note.
Saiki Kusuo changed his shoes and opened the door.
——Okay, let’s go.
Yun Ci stretched her ankles and stepped up to follow.
The two of them didn't have anywhere to go, they just chose a direction at random and began to wander around slowly.
——Back to the original topic.
"Eh?"
——What’s unexpected?
"Ah, unexpectedly, Saiki-san has a crush on me?"
——People who have interacted with you generally don’t have any bad feelings towards you.
Maybe Yun Ci doesn’t know, but there are actually quite a few boys in school who like her.
Saiki K. knew all this through his inner voice.
There were also some boys who wanted to send love letters to Yunci, but she always stayed with Hiraguchi Yuki or Taneda Hana.
Completely - there is no opportunity to communicate alone.
These are other people’s original words.
Honestly speaking, given Yun Ci's outstanding looks, it's strange that she only has so few suitors.
She must have used some 'superpowers'.
For example, it can reduce one's sense of presence.
"Reduce the presence." Yun Ci nodded, "Indeed, I did use it."
She pointed to the thin black stick hairpin she always wore on her head.
"This can make others ignore my existence."
——!
Is there a hairpin on her head all the time?!
He didn't notice at all.
