“Wow, what a sumptuous dinner.”
Sitting in her seat, Xiaoyu, wearing a newly purchased JK outfit and holding two plushie dragons, looked at the various dishes on the table with sparkling eyes: “I, I don’t know what to eat first.”
“Today’s dishes are Italian-style, with carbonara, curry meatballs, Milanese steak, and seafood pizza, etc.,” Mo, picking up a pair of large knives and forks, began to fill the plate in front of the pink-haired girl, and at the same time, introduced the dinner casually.
“I don’t know what you like, so just try each one, and then tell me which one you like best.”
“Sister Mo is really amazing,” Xiaoyu’s face was flushed, looking at the silver-haired girl who was busy.
However, she wasn’t discovered because her plushies were in the way.
“Doing the cleaning, tidying up the room, buying ingredients, and cooking now.
She’s really an all-around top student—in comparison, I’m really useless, I can’t help with anything, and I accidentally broke several bowls.
Ugh… I’m really sorry…”
“It’s just that practice makes perfect,” Mo, taking out a large bottle of Root Beer from the refrigerator, didn’t even look at the other person, and poured it into the two glasses.
“I’ve been doing these things for over a year, it would be strange if I couldn’t, so there’s no comparison at all.”
“Then…” Gently stroking the plushies in her hand, Xiaoyu hesitated, and then mustered her courage to ask,
“Then, may I ask, Sister Mo, will you be angry with Xiaoyu because of those bowls?
Ah, I, I mean, if Sister Mo is very angry, I’ll apologize…”
“Eris breaks a lot more than you, so there’s no need to take it to heart,” The silver-haired girl, who finally finished all the preparations, sat down, spread a napkin over her slender legs clad in black silk stockings, and then picked up her knife and fork.
“I’ll start eating, and you can put down your plushies and eat too.”
“Ah, okay, okay.”
Nodding obediently, the pink-haired girl put the two matched plushie dragons on the small chair that was specially prepared for them, and then picked up the knife and fork, carefully glancing at the other person with her peripheral vision.
The poor little thing had never eaten Western food before, and had always used chopsticks.
After suddenly switching to knives and forks, she was a little at a loss, but she didn’t dare to ask, so she had to learn on the spot by observing the silver-haired girl’s way of using them.
Fortunately, knives and forks were much simpler than chopsticks, so after a few failed attempts at the beginning, she finally put the first mouthful of spaghetti into her mouth—although it was a bit awkward.
Delicious! It’s really delicious!
“So, so, thank you Sister Mo, for being able to make such a delicious meal!” Xiaoyu’s eyes were shining, and she revealed a big smile at the same time.
“I didn’t handle the heat well for the first time making spaghetti, and it was burnt,” Mo, forking a piece of lasagna, looked at the black spots on it, and stuffed it into her mouth.
“This is actually a failed work. You don’t have to flatter me.”
“But, I really think it’s delicious,” trying to learn how the other person used the fork to roll up the spaghetti, the pink-haired girl was absorbed in watching the elastic noodles bouncing in the air. “It’s as delicious as the Goose family from yesterday!”
“That can only show that you’re a glutton who doesn’t discriminate, you can’t tell the quality at all—focus on eating, don’t talk.”
“Ah, yes! Then I won’t be polite!”
Then Xiaoyu started to wield the knife and fork and eat somewhat clumsily.
Half an hour later…
Mo looked at the pink-haired girl who still had more than half left on her plate, speechless: “I didn’t feel it when Eris fed you the other day, but now I’ve discovered it: there is someone who eats slower than me.”
“Ah, that, I’m, I’m so sorry,” Xiaoyu, who was trying to cut the steak, bowed a little embarrassed.
“The teacher said that you must eat slowly, bite by bite, or you’re not a good child. I’ve, I’ve already formed a habit…”
It can be seen, just like you still call that beast teacher, even after Eris has told you many times to forget about the teacher.
The silver-haired girl thought to herself silently.
She’d go back to the United Nations and cut that beast off sometime.
“Oh, right, Sister Mo,” Sipping a little of the drink in the glass, the pink-haired girl looked at the other person with star eyes.
“Um, co, could you teach me how, how to cook? If, if you don’t mind that I’m clumsy.”
“Yes.”
“That’s great!” She cheered a little, cupping her chin with both hands, and looking intoxicated. “Sister Mo and Sister Si are like angels who have descended to the human world!”
“Angels? No, I’m a devil.”
“Eh?” Xiaoyu was taken aback, as she didn’t expect the other person to call herself the enemy of God in the Bible, and almost knocked over the glass with Root Beer next to it.
“Bu, but the teacher said that devils are the embodiments of evil, the representatives of darkness, and they will bring disasters to humanity…”
“Although I really want to cut off your teacher’s head, I agree with him on this point.”
Swallowing a piece of steak, Mo wiped her mouth with a napkin and finally looked directly at the pink-haired girl:
“I, have brought endless disasters to humanity, and I have personally cut off countless heads, and they are not less than six figures or even five figures.”
“Ah…”
Looking at the blood-red pupils of the other person, Xiaoyu suddenly felt a chill and involuntarily lowered her head, avoiding the heartbreaking gaze.
Then she suddenly raised her head:
“No, I don’t believe it. Sister Mo obviously saved me together with Sister Si, and also helped me escape those terrible uncles with guns, how could it be…”
“Many people knelt in front of me before they died, some even hugged my legs, begging and wagging their tails like a group of little dogs, just to escape the catastrophe,” Mo picked up the glass next to her and sipped from a straw.
“Most of them were civilians who had no grievances with me.
There were also some boys and girls as old as you, with eyes as pure as a blank sheet of paper, coupled with the tears and sobs constantly seeping out, which did indeed appear pitiful.
However, every time I would turn on the chainsaw, pull open their necks without hesitation, watch the bright red blood from their arteries gush out like a fountain, watch the pupils of various colors slowly dilate, watch the faces filled with fear, hatred, sorrow, and pain, and then, when the light in their eyes completely disappeared, I would turn and leave.
Eris once told me that I should learn to enjoy the thrill of killing like her and gain endless happiness and satisfaction from it, but when I looked at those people, I felt like I was looking at an ant that was about to be stepped on.
Even if I tried to open the corners of my mouth, it was extremely hollow.
Even within the magical girls, I was treated as an alien, feared and alienated, and now I have nothing, but I also brought this on myself, after all, I… ah, I seem to have said too much.”
Mo didn’t know why she, who was taciturn, had suddenly spoken at length.
She tilted her head and looked at the dark night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
“In short, I don’t need to lie to you. I’m just a devil and have nothing to do with the angels in your mouth, so extinguish your fantasies, little one. Don’t praise me, flatter me, and apologize to me just because of a little thing.
It’s really annoying to listen to too much. If you want to find an angel, go find Eris. Don’t find me.”
“But, I…”
Looking at the remaining dinner on the plate, Xiaoyu’s tears had already flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground: “I want to be Mo, Sister Mo’s companion.”
“Companion?”
After being silent for about three seconds, the silver-haired girl jumped off the chair and began to clean up the plates on the table: “You better not take me as a companion, after all, I’m a devil, and have nothing to do with angels.”
“It’s not like that!”
When Mo came back to her senses, she was already hugged from behind by the pink-haired girl, and her arms were tightly wrapped around her flat chest.
“Even if Sister Mo is telling the truth, even if Sister Mo killed so many people before,” Burying her head in the other person’s back, Xiaoyu was gently sobbing, and her words were somewhat difficult to distinguish.
“I also firmly believe that Sister Mo’s heart is kind, and has nothing to do with the devil!
Sister Mo did that, definitely because Sister Mo had her own reasons and difficulties, although I don’t know exactly what it is…
But, but, at least I know that it was Sister Mo who saved me in the hospital regardless of everything, and was willing to stand in front of so many terrible uncles for me, and even was willing to do so many delicious things for me—based on these, Xiaoyu believes that Sister Mo is definitely not a devil!”
“A little bit of kindness cannot wash away the blood stained on the hands,” the silver-haired girl hated being touched by others—except for a certain red-haired girl—but this time, she rarely didn’t break free or order the other person to let go, but stood quietly in place.
“I’m not suitable to be your companion. Don’t you like Eris? Having her is enough.”
“No, it’s not enough!”
Moving to face Mo, the pink-haired girl, although still tearful, had such a firm expression:
“Yes, I like Sister Si very much, and I long to be by her side for the rest of my life, but Sister Mo, you’re just as important, you and Sister Si are both equally important!
Even, even if you are really a devil, I will also be your companion—Xiaoyu is very useless, but I will never betray my savior!
Even if I am looked down upon and even abandoned again one day, I will always be grateful in my heart that I met you both in the past!
If Sister Mo thinks my praise is annoying, then I’m really, really sorry.
But even if Xiaoyu is a useless waste, she will keep working hard to strive to not be so useless one day, so that Sister Mo won’t feel that I’m annoying!
So, please, please allow me to be your companion!”
The room was silent for a full five minutes.
The silver-haired girl closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, while Xiaoyu had retreated a few steps, somewhat uneasy, carefully observing the other person’s reaction.
And when Mo opened her eyes again, the pink-haired girl realized that the other person’s pupils seemed to have turned from blood red to crimson red—a very weak change, but she did feel it.
“I see, then, you finish your dinner first.”
“Ah, yes!”
Watching Xiaoyu rush back to her seat and pick up the knife and fork again, the silver-haired girl silently cleared up the other plates and took them to the kitchen.
You, like Eris, are a hopeless idiot.
