Chapter 89 89 What? Sister-in-Law Ram Doesn't Have Much Life Left?
Bringing Rem and Ram home, Hakuto looked at them.
"By the way, you're Oni, right?"
Hakuto asked, thinking about whether Rem and Ram were Oni.
"Yes. Rem and Nee-san are both Oni."
[Sure enough, my wife Rem and my sister-in-law Ram are still Oni. Speaking of which, did my sister-in-law Ram's horn get broken again?]
A barely perceptible look of shock appeared in Ram and Rem's eyes.
"Oh, right. Have you eaten yet?"
Hakuto remembered he hadn't eaten yet. He had just said this when Ram's stomach let out a growl. The corner of Hakuto's mouth couldn't help but curl up seventy-five degrees.
Ram's expression immediately stiffened as she looked at Hakuto.
"To prevent Ram's embarrassment from being spread around, Ram thinks it's very necessary to silence the witness."
Ram spread her hand. A ball of wind appeared in her palm. But the next moment, the ball of wind disappeared. Then Ram lay on Rem.
"Rem, I'm hungry."
Hearing her sister's words, Rem immediately answered, "Rem will make food for you right away!"
"I'll do it."
Hakuto said to the two, then walked into the kitchen. Not long after, two plates of egg fried rice were placed in front of Rem and Ram.
"This is egg fried rice from this morning. If you don't mind, you can try it. It shouldn't taste bad."
Before Rem could speak, Ram started teasing. "Serving leftover rice to Ram. Ram is writing down this grudge!"
"Then do you want to eat it or not? If not, I'll take it away. If I didn't see that you were hungry, I wouldn't have given it to you. Fill your stomach first. I'll make something else later."
[Tch. I used my character card this morning. And if my sister-in-law Ram could be mute, that would be great.]
Ram looked at Hakuto, snorted coldly, then said, "Fine. Ram will reluctantly try it."
Hakuto suddenly reacted.
"Wait a minute. You're my maids, aren't you? Is this how you talk to your master?"
Ram puffed out her chest and answered matter-of-factly, "You're not Ram and Rem's master yet!"
"Then you wait. After midnight, you two will call me 'Master'."
After hearing this, a worried expression appeared on Ram's face as she said to Rem, "Rem, Rem. Oh no. The pervert in front of us wants to use his status as master to do all sorts of things to Rem!"
Rem smiled sheepishly at Ram. "Rem believes Master wouldn't do that kind of thing."
"No way, Rem. You're too easy to be taken advantage of by this guy."
Hakuto rolled his eyes, not wanting to talk to Ram anymore. He walked into the kitchen and used his Beginner Cooking Skills to start preparing the grass carp.
As the only recipe he knew, he had made Peony Fish Fillets no less than ten times. So, processing it was a breeze.
In an hour and a half, Hakuto had placed the Peony Fish Fillets in front of Rem and Ram.
After Rem and Ram finished eating, Hakuto ignored them and started writing. He had already written all of "5cm/s", but "Slime" still had many volumes for him to work on.
But once midnight passed, Hakuto's door was knocked on by Rem.
"Here."
Hakuto also gave the Century Soup from the sealed box to Rem.
Resisting the urge to drink the Century Soup, Rem went to the living room and handed it to Ram.
Ram bit her lip. Without a word, she drank the Century Soup.
The next moment, a whirlwind kicked up around Ram. Then, a light appeared on Ram's forehead. Hakuto saw that the light on Ram's forehead was actually a broken horn!
[My sister-in-law Ram's horn really is broken!]
The wind gradually subsided. The light on Ram's forehead also gradually disappeared.
"Failed?"
A hint of disappointment was audible in Rem's voice.
"Tell me what's going on."
Hakuto spoke softly to Rem.
"Although it couldn't repair the broken horn, it did replenish a lot of life force. At least a year's worth of life force. Don't worry, Rem."
Ram said this, but it wasn't hard to see the disappointment in her eyes.
Then Ram looked at Hakuto. "Since you asked so sincerely, Ram will mercifully tell you. Because Ram's horn is broken, Ram's life force is constantly draining. If left untreated, she will die soon. So Ram needs dishes containing the Heart of Cooking to replenish her life force. Without the Heart of Cooking, she would need to eat a huge amount just to replenish a little bit of life force."
"So, if you think Ram is a burden and troublesome, then Ram can take Rem and leave right now."
Ram put her hands on her hips with a proud expression.
"Hey, hey, hey. You're not planning to run off after taking the Century Soup, are you? In your dreams!"
Rem quickly denied it. "No. Rem wants to find a way to fix Nee-san's horn, so..."
"In your dreams. The moment you took the Century Soup, you were born as my people and will die as my dead. And one portion of Century Soup can increase your life force by one year, Ram. I can supply Century Soup."
"No. Only the first time eating each dish increases life force."
Hakuto was stunned, then continued, "Then you should stay with me even more. Because the only one who can possibly save you, Ram, is me."
[I didn't expect my sister-in-law Ram's broken horn to cause her life force to constantly drain. But this is no problem for me. Staying by my side will eventually cure my sister-in-law Ram's broken horn. Even if the horn can't be repaired, with me around, providing life force to my sister-in-law Ram will be easy, right?]
[So my wife Rem and my sister-in-law Ram don't even think about running away. Having walked right into my tiger's mouth, if I let this duck fly away, I might as well find a place to hang myself.]
[For my wife Rem's affection, I will definitely save you, my sister-in-law Ram. But once her affection is high enough, hmph, then it will be your little bottom's turn to suffer. For having such a sharp tongue.]
