Chapter 228 It's Not Like I Could Be the Reincarnation of Liu Mao Xing
After waking up and seeing Hakuto, Mai was startled. Then she instinctively pulled up the blanket to cover herself, looking at Hakuto with vigilance in her eyes.
[No good deed goes unpunished. This woman Sakurajima Mai really repays kindness with enmity. Can't there be a little more trust between people? If I wanted to do anything to you, I would have already had my way with you while you were unconscious.]
[And I even went to Gensokyo to save you. Tch, whatever. Consider it an apology for misunderstanding you before. From now on, we're even!]
Mai was stunned. Then she looked at Hakuto's diary, a bit confused. Then she flipped through the previous diary entries. Only then did Mai learn that she had been captured by a Boundary Yokai, and that Hakuto had gone to save her.
He had even been willing to make an enemy of all of Gensokyo for her.
Mai finally understood why Hakuto said she was repaying kindness with enmity. Hakuto had almost truly risked his life for her, and she had been so guarded against him.
"Sorry. I was a bit overreacting."
Hakuto waved his hand. "It's fine. It's nothing serious. Whatever makes you happy. Oh, by the way, your problem has been solved. You can leave now."
Mai was stunned for a moment. Then she stood up and looked at Hakuto. "Really?"
Hakuto rolled his eyes. "What benefit would I get from lying to you? Alright, I said your problem is solved, so it's solved. So, that's it. I'm leaving."
Mai looked at Hakuto. She thought about how he said she was repaying kindness with enmity. She bit her lip.
Then, almost involuntarily, she reached out and grabbed Hakuto's hand. She pulled him, making him stumble, then hugged his face and kissed him. Mouth to mouth.
Hakuto was instantly stunned, 'This Sakurajima Mai didn't follow the rules. She came to deceive, to ambush this teenage boy like this.'
Could he tolerate this?
Hakuto immediately hugged Sakurajima Mai and kissed her back. But just as Hakuto instinctively reached his hand towards Mai's conscience, she pushed him away.
"It's just to thank you for your help. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. And don't even think about it. Understand?"
Hakuto looked at Mai. "Understood. If there's nothing else, then that's it."
Sakurajima Mai looked at Hakuto in shock, 'This guy actually had no reaction at all.'
Her fists clenched. Here she was, a beautiful girl, actively kissing him, and he had no reaction at all.
Watching Hakuto leave, Mai couldn't help but stomp her foot in anger. "Jerk!"
After leaving the room, Hakuto didn't have time to worry about what Mai was thinking. He just wanted to quickly study his character card upgrade fragment.
[Use character card upgrade fragment!]
As Hakuto silently called out in his heart, the character card upgrade fragment immediately turned into a beam of light that fell into Hakuto's mind. Countless memories about cooking were added to Hakuto's memory.
At the same time, Hakuto could also feel that his body seemed to have become more harmonious. Also, Hakuto discovered that he seemed to have already crossed the threshold of becoming a Super Chef.
[A Super Chef, just like that? Just one character card upgrade fragment directly upgraded the character card to Super Chef? Huh? The character card has actually completely merged into my body? There's no more once-a-day usage limit? I can use it unlimitedly now?]
[Does that mean I am already a Super Chef now? Sheesh, terrifyingly so. I, Yagami Hakuto, am truly the chosen one!]
'What the hell?'
Seeing this diary entry from Hakuto, a huge question mark appeared above the heads of the group of people.
'Just like that, he's a Super Chef?'
Even possessing the Heart of Cooking only grants the qualification to become a Super Chef. There's still a long way to go to actually become one. And yet Hakuto reached it in one step.
[But something feels off. Why does this Liu Mao Xing character card feel to me like... an illusion. It must be because I used Liu Mao Xing's character card. The Heart of Cooking that comes with Liu Mao Xing is exactly the same as mine. This must be a coincidence, right? It's not like I'm the reincarnation of Liu Mao Xing. I'm a Transmigrator, so how could I have a past life?]
[Never mind. I won't think about it. With the strength of a Super Chef, dealing with the Dragon God's trial in half a month shouldn't be a big problem. Speaking of which, when is that Chef God Candidate trial that Natsuki-chan mentioned going to start? I'm still thinking about getting another fragment soon.]
[One fragment made me a Super Chef. Would another fragment make me ascend to the heavens?]
[Oh, right. And the Legendary Cooking Utensils. I wonder how the investigation into the Restoration Society is going. The Restoration Society has one piece of the Legendary Cooking Utensils. If I could get my hands on that piece...]
At the Grand Narukami Shrine, Yae Miko smiled as she looked at Yakumo Yukari. Yakumo Yukari was also holding a diary and reading at that moment.
Yakumo Yukari's expression was somewhat unpleasant. She hadn't recognized him. That was something Yakumo Yukari couldn't accept.
"Oh my, the bond between you and him isn't as deep as I thought, Lady Yakumo Yukari!"
A hint of anger appeared in Yakumo Yukari's eyes. "Yae Miko, does angering me really bring you that much joy?"
Looking at Yakumo Yukari's expression, Yae Miko smiled and said, "I'm just a poor, weak little fox. When the time comes, I'll just cry to him about it. Who do you think he would believe more now, me or you? For me, would he attack you?"
The folding fan in Yakumo Yukari's hand was directly crushed into pieces. Then Yakumo Yukari looked at Yae Miko with a gloomy expression.
"Let's end this matter here, Yae Miko. If you continue, I might not be able to control my anger."
Seeing Yakumo Yukari like that, Yae Miko naturally didn't dare to continue angering her.
"So, what do you plan to do? With Hakuto's current strength, he may not be able to pass the Dragon God's trial. But if you lay a hand on Sakurajima Mai, Hakuto won't just stand by. For you, that seems like a dead end, doesn't it?"
Yae Miko's gloating expression made Yakumo Yukari's expression darken slightly.
But then Yakumo Yukari looked at Yae Miko. "How about a bet? I bet Hakuto will pass the Dragon God's trial. You bet that he won't."
"I'm not stupid, Lady Yakumo Yukari."
