Misty World: Start with SSS skill
Chapter 266 Tea Party...

"Like I said, be yourself, don't try to change yourself for others. I love you, and not your personality."

When Tsuraguki heard that she nodded, her face was full of happiness, and she really wanted to hug Hikaru tightly but now that there were many people, she couldn't do that.

However, Tsuraguki wasn't worried at all. Anyway, Hikaru had said that he would spend a lot of time with her, so they had plenty of time left to spend together.

Tsuraguki smiled and said: "Master, ever since you freed me, I have considered you as my master forever. I'm not lying, and I'm telling the truth."

"In the end, the one who can free me from my loneliness is you. So thank you, master. In the future I will cling to you, and make you unable to abandon or ignore me."

Tsuraguki spoke confidently while smiling, and the air of a queen emanated from her.

Hikaru looked at Nekomaly, his eyes were filled with warmth that made her extremely shy, her face turned red, and she didn't dare to look directly at him.

"Nekomaly, you just arrived here, you probably still feel a bit strange. But you should remember, this is your home, I have never considered you a slave but an important person to me."

" So don't underestimate yourself."

Nekomaly nodded repeatedly, and said in a shy voice: "I understand, master."

Hikaru nodded and looked towards Saraya, there were many emotions that couldn't be expressed in words in his eyes.

Although he spent a lot of time with Selvih and Anno, in his heart Saraya's status was still very high.

Saraya had been by his side since the first day he arrived  in this world. Both of them  had also been through some difficult times together.

The scene where Saraya was suppressed by the Gravity Catfish and was unable to move was still clear in his mind. But things were different now, as Saraya had the power of a god.

However, it was not because Saraya got stronger that he  loved her, basically, he had fallen in love with her since the first time he met her.

If all things were considered then, his first girl was not Vuni but Saraya.

He felt that Saraya's love for him was so pure, that he didn't need to spend anything. When he looked at her, he could see his past self in her.

Like a dog that was loyal to its owner, there was no need for the owner to do anything, so just leaving it by the owner's side was enough.

However, he was loyal to the wrong person, as Naomi was not worthy enough to receive his love. But Saraya was different, and her affection made him feel extremely comfortable.

He didn't know what Saraya's past was like, nor did he want to see it. If Saraya wanted to, she would tell him, anyway everyone had their  secret.

Hikaru stared at Saraya, and Saraya looked at him too, the two looked at each other for a long time, and without communicating both of them were able to understand each other.

He raised his glass and said, "So…"

"Wait! Master, didn't you say anything to Saraya?"  Tsuraguki spoke up, she was like a messenger of justice who wanted to claim justice for Saraya.

"Ah…" Hikaru was about to say something when Saraya cut him off.

"Master has already spoken, and he said a lot." Saraya said with a smile, a smile filled with mystery that made Tsuraguki tilt her head, and frown in confusion.

"Heh?! But master didn't say anything just now…"

" It's because master doesn't need to speak, and I can also understand what he wants to say." Saraya said confidently. Her words were enough for everyone here to realize Saraya's place in Hikaru's heart.

However, they weren't jealous or annoyed, even Tsuraguki didn't feel jealous of Saraya because she couldn't be jealous.

If Tsuraguki and Selvih were two opposing factions, then Saraya was a mediator, who  could make anyone her friend.

Tsuraguki sighed in relief and sat down, then she followed Hikaru, and picked up the tea cup in her hand.

The others also followed Hikaru, and picked up the teacup, only Nekomaly was different, she knew very well how to hold a teacup.

Everyone looked at  Nekomaly like a real aristocrat. Her movements as she held the cups and plates were elegant, and her gentle aura fascinated everyone.

Hikaru felt that it was a bit funny, he said: "Okay, so... today is just a small party, the cakes and tea are all made by Nekomaly, you guys should taste it. I don't know what your tastes are so I'll leave it to Nekomaly, if you have a special request, you can tell her."

Anno picked up the teacup, inside it was a dark brown liquid like a mirror that reflected her face. Then she took a sip.

The liquid had a taste that she had never experienced before. There was a bit of bitterness on the tongue, but when it entered the throat, it was a little sweet, and the scent of herbs lingered and spread throughout her oral cavity.

"Delicious… delicious… Is this herbal juice?" Anno said as her eyes shone.

Hikaru smiled at that, "It's not that different, but I call it tea. But I don't think Nekomaly can make tea, I remember this place doesn't have tea leaves or anything to replace it."

Nekomaly said with a smile, "It's one of my special abilities, master."

"Hm?!"

"Hehehe.. it takes a long time to make tea leaves, there are no tea leaves in this world, and there were no tea leaves in your pantry, there was also no spices or things that could help me make the tea leaves."

"However, I have the ability to simulate things."

"Simulation?!" Hikaru asked with interest, "Please clarify."

Nekomaly nodded and said, "Master, you probably already know that there are many different types of food, but the taste is the same. There are many types of vegetables that, if you know how to prepare them, will taste like tea leaves."

Hearing that, Hikaru frowned and said: "However, the process of making tea leaves is very complicated, choosing a good tea leaf, drying them and making tea is not simple, So how did you do it?"

Nekomaly looked up at Hikaru, but every time she saw his face, she blushed and became extremely shy.

Nekomaly immediately lowered her head and said, "It's not like making tea leaves, my ability can simulate a variety of dishes by using other ingredients."

"Actually, the tea you drank is more like herbal water. I just picked a few vegetables that tasted like tea, then separated them and stew them for a while."

Hikaru nodded at that, and tried to take a sip of tea. Just like Nekomaly said, it tasted like tea, but it wasn't tea, but a herbal water that tasted more like tea.

However, the authentic taste was very similar to tea, for someone like Hikaru who used to drink many types of tea, he quickly realized that this was not tea.

But for the inhabitants of this world…

Hikaru glanced at Anno, Selvih, Tsuraguki, and Saraya. Their eyes were shining like stars, as they seemed to enjoy the thing called tea.

Tsuraguki was entranced with the tea, she drank the whole cup of tea in one gulp, and she looked so happy as if she had drunk beer.

"Nekomaly, give me another drink…" shouted Tsuraguki, Hikaru could feel that she  was extremely excited.

"Beer..." Suddenly, an idea appeared in Hikaru's mind, then he asked Nekomaly: "Can you make beer or wine?"

"Beer? Wine?" Nekomaly asked confused, "What is that?"

Hikaru frowned upon hearing that. Tsuraguki's expression reminded Hikaru of the relaxed expression of people who drank a cold beer after a tiring day at work.

He asked: "It's a fermented drink, specifically... I don't know how to describe it."

Nekomaly replied: "Fermentation? It seems I know what your intentions are, I can try it."

"Yes, however, the fermentation process is quite long, maybe we have to wait a while before we can taste the  beer and wine."

"Not necessarily."

"Heh?!" Nekomaly suddenly spoke up to Hikaru's surprise, he asked: "Do you have a way?"

Nekomaly shyly said: "I have the ability to simulate and speed up the process of food. That means we can make it ferment quickly, but we can also leave it undamaged for a long time."

Hikaru nodded his head, he felt that Nekomaly's ability was like a pocket of space. where time stood still, and the objects in the bag would not be damaged.

For example, if she put a cup of hot water at 80 degrees Celsius in a space bag for 10 years, if it was taken out it would still be at 80 degrees Celsius.

But the latter part was what caught Hikaru's attention, her ability to cause food to die,  in other words, to mold and ferment...

If she managed to speed up the fermentation process, it would become a useful food, but if not managed well, it would create a deadly poison.

However, he was not afraid. For someone with the ability to use mana it was easy to get rid of the toxins of those foods, and for someone with high level energy like him, it was even easier.

This did not include the poison produced from the mist, as it was a completely different thing, and the inhabitants of this world couldn't use mana to eliminate it.

Hikaru shook his head, and put that aside for the time being, he said, "Okay, everyone, let's try the cake."

When Saraya heard that, she immediately displayed her childish nature, she inserted a fork into the cake, then brought it close to her mouth and took a big bite.

At this moment, Saraya's eyes shone as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Heh?! Is the cake that delicious?" Anno couldn't believe it, and she cut a small piece with a knife and put it in her mouth with a fork.

It could be seen that everyone could use the eating utensils very easily, which slightly surprised Hikaru.

Anno was startled and she suddenly said: "Delicious… so delicious…"

Anno, Selvih and Tsuraguki's expressions were no different from Saraya's, and in Hikaru's heart he thought of a concept he often heard when he was still living on Earth.

And that was that 'Women could not resist the temptation of sweets'.
