After returning home, Yuuko began to prepare lunch.
Paimon, meanwhile, curiously wandered around Yuuko's house, constantly observing it.
At the same time, she would occasionally run to the kitchen to watch Yuuko cook, continuously drooling.
Only after Yuuko chased her out did she reluctantly return to the living room.
Before long, Yuuko finished cooking the meal.
After serving the dishes, this little creature, Paimon, immediately had her eyes light up again, drooling profusely:
"Wow! It looks so delicious! You're really good at cooking!"
Her appearance made it no exaggeration to call her a glutton.
Seeing this, Yuuko thought for a moment and then smiled:
"This meal should be enough to forgive my actions just now, right?"
"Hmm..." Paimon was about to nod, then suddenly reacted: "No! One meal isn't enough, at least two... no, three!"
Yuuko chuckled: "I'll cook for you."
"Re... Really!?" Paimon was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yuuko in disbelief.
Clearly, she hadn't expected Yuuko to be so straightforward.
Yuuko nodded: "But you have to promise me one thing."
"What thing?" Paimon blinked her big eyes, her index finger on her chin, her eyes full of doubt.
"Help me look after the house."
"Uh... that simple?"
"It's that simple. Help look after the house when I'm not home, and help take care of my pet little fox."
"Little fox?"
"Yes, it's my pet. It's quite cute, but I might be busy for a while and won't be able to accompany it, so I'm afraid it'll get lonely."
"Hmm..." Paimon rested her chin on her hand, starting to hesitate: "But it feels so boring to always stay at home helping to take care of a pet..."
After speaking, Paimon looked at Yuuko suspiciously again:
"And why do I feel like you're treating me as a pet too?"
"No, no." Yuuko laughed heartily: "Who would treat a cup as a pet?"
"A cup?" Paimon was very confused.
"Ah, sorry, looking at your size, I can't help but think of some useful tool."
After speaking, Yuuko smiled again: "So Paimon, will you accept my proposal? Take good care of my house, and I'll make you delicious food."
Paimon fell into a struggle again: "Hmm... Although I really want to agree, I feel like you're tricking me..."
"There will be meat every day," Yuuko offered again.
"Okay! I promise! No backing out!"
Indeed, it was quite simple to trick a glutton... Of course, Yuuko had his reasons for doing this.
Mainly, he might have to go to war with other nations soon.
Yuuko also didn't want Paimon, this unstable factor, to always be by his side.
Later, Yuuko would not only have Paimon guard the house, but also ask Sayu to secretly keep an eye on Paimon.
Once Paimon made any strange moves at home, Yuuko would quickly know.
In essence, it was also a test for Paimon.
If Paimon had a problem, she would definitely not be willing to stay at home.
If Paimon snuck away midway, it would indicate a potential problem.
"Let's pinky promise, no backing out!" At this moment, Paimon extended her finger again.
Yuuko smiled helplessly and extended his hand to pinky promise with her.
Honestly, if it weren't for Paimon's strangely cup-like body size, with her naive personality,
Yuuko might have long since let go of his suspicions about her.
After the pinky promise, Paimon finally couldn't hold back and started devouring the food.
"Eat slower... no one's snatching it from you..."
Paimon replied while eating: "Be... because it's so... so delicious, I can't stop once I start."
Yuuko smiled and said nothing more.
He didn't compete with Paimon, the hungry ghost, for food, but sat aside, constantly thinking about his next steps.
Next, what he had to deal with first should be the attacks from other nations.
Yuuko felt this was an opportunity.
An opportunity to win over the gods of other nations!
