"Um, the shop is probably still busy, right? Is it okay to leave everything to them?" Looking at the respectful Akina, Takeru asked with confusion.
"Compared to those things, of course, your matters are more important, Takeru. You rarely come by, and I haven't had a chance to properly entertain you. It's truly rude."
Hearing Takeru's words, Akina said matter-of-factly. It was clear her respect for Takeru wasn't just talk.
"There's no need for that. I have other things to do, so I can't stay for long either." Hearing Akina's words, Takeru shook his head gently.
"Is that so? That's true. Compared to me, an ordinary businesswoman, you have to constantly save the world. It's really hard for you, Takeru." Hearing Takeru couldn't stay long, Akina said with a hint of disappointment.
"Haha, no need for that. By the way, I have a new drink here that you can sell in the shop." Hearing her words, Takeru said with amusement.
"Oh, a new drink? Is it something you concocted, Takeru?" Hearing this, Akina's eyes lit up. The items supplied by Takeru were never ordinary.
It was precisely because of Takeru's gourmet supplies that the Hinatsuru Inn's reputation had skyrocketed in a short time.
Now, to book a stay, you basically needed to reserve three days in advance. During peak seasons, you might need to book a week in advance.
And because of the excessive number of guests, they were now even preparing to expand.
"Yes, you could say that." As he spoke, Takeru directly took out the large vat.
Because it hadn't been divided yet, he had to on the spot use his water control ability to extract the juice from inside. Then, with his manifestation ability, exquisite glass bottles appeared before Akina and Ai.
Then, Takeru quickly poured the juice evenly into the glass bottles. Finally, he sealed them with cork stoppers.
In less than five minutes, over two hundred 500ml bottles of Rainbow Juice were lined up in the room. The juice in the vat had only decreased by a small portion. Seeing it was about right, Takeru put the vat back into his item bar.
Watching Takeru's mystical abilities, even Akina, who had seen many of Takeru's methods, couldn't help but be shocked.
It took her a while to come back to her senses, looking at Takeru with complex eyes.
As for Ai, her face was full of admiration. She wouldn't be surprised by anything Takeru did, only admiring.
"Akina-san, Ai, have a taste." Looking at the two, Takeru took out a bottle of unsealed Rainbow Juice, manifested three cups, and poured for everyone.
"Yes, then I'll help myself." Hearing Takeru's words, Akina quickly came back to her senses.
Looking at the juice that emitted a seven-colored light and an extremely tempting aroma, she eagerly took a sip.
Feeling the intense flavor of the Rainbow Juice and the continuously changing deliciousness in her mouth, she couldn't help but drink it all in one go.
Afterwards, she still wanted more licked her lips.
Without exaggeration, Rainbow Juice was even sweeter and richer than Moomoo Milk.
Most importantly, its flavor was very varied, allowing one to enjoy seven kinds of deliciousness at once.
However, Moomoo Milk was a dairy drink, valued for its richness and sweetness. Both could awaken vitality in people. That was a tie.
But Moomoo Milk also moisturized the skin with each drink, having great beauty benefits.
Especially for a hot spring inn, drinking a cup of milk after a bath was even more pleasant, making it slightly better. For those who preferred fruit juice, Rainbow Juice was definitely the preferred choice.
"Really, Takeru, you've given me another tremendous surprise." After a while, having quickly compared the flavor and effects of the two drinks in her mind, Akina said with emotion.
"It seems you like them. Then, I'll leave these to you." Seeing Akina's surprised expression, Takeru said with a smile.
"Master, I want more to drink." After finishing her cup, Ai licked her lips excitedly.
"Okay." Hearing this, Takeru didn't be stingy. He filled her cup again.
After that, Takeru stayed with Ai for another ten plus minutes before standing up to say goodbye.
Akina saw them off. After bidding farewell, Takeru directly teleported with Ai from the room back to the island.
"Ai, you're here!" Just as they returned to the island, Ram, who was cleaning the house, noticed Ai and waved to her.
"Ram-nee, long time no see!" Hearing Ram's voice, Ai gave her a sweet smile and greeted her.
"Hi, Ai, long time no see!" At this moment, Felt and Karin, having finished their chores, came over and saw Ai's arrival. They happily greeted her.
"Karin-nee, Felt-nee!" Hearing the calls, Ai quickly turned around and greeted them.
"Ai, let's go train together!" Then, Karin invited Ai.
When Ai and the others weren't around, Karin mostly trained Chakra alone. So, she was very happy about Ai's return.
"Sure, Karin-nee!" Hearing Karin's words, Ai quickly nodded. She went directly to her room, changed into a training suit made from Silk Slime's threads, and then followed Karin outside.
Seeing Ai show no strangeness towards the place, Takeru smiled and prepared to pick up the others.
A teleportation later, he returned to the apartment in the city. Looking at the somewhat dusty apartment, Takeru gathered a small cyclone to clean the house.
Then, the cyclone carrying a large amount of dust flew out the window to an uninhabited area in the wild and dissipated.
After cleaning with the cyclone, the air became even fresher. However, Takeru still washed the house with water flow, then let the water completely evaporate. The stains were devoured.
After quickly cleaning the apartment, Takeru opened the door and went outside.
"Eh, Takeru, when did you get back?" As Takeru left, a neighbor aunt came out of the adjacent house. Seeing Takeru, she asked with surprise.
"I just got back, but I have to leave again soon." Looking at the surprised neighbor, Takeru showed a slight smile.
"Is that so? If you have time, bring Miu over for dinner." Hearing Takeru's words, the aunt was startled, then warmly invited Takeru.
"Haha, Auntie, thank you. But I've been quite busy lately. I will come by if I have the chance." Hearing her warm invitation, Takeru waved his hand with a light laugh.
"Is that so? Alright then. Go on. But remember, if you have time, come over and sit." Hearing Takeru say this, the aunt could only nod and let it go.
As he walked down from the apartment, the acquaintances he met along the way warmly greeted Takeru.
After all, Takeru was very famous in the apartment building. He was sensible and well-behaved.
Because his parents had passed away young, he had taken care of a little tag-along from a young age, and he had raised Miu very well.
Up to now, with Takeru's activities, the people around had long noticed his distinctiveness. Naturally, Takeru became even more famous.
However, because Takeru had been coming here less often lately, many who wanted to interview him had been disappointed, and his popularity had slowly faded.
But Takeru had not forgotten the elders in this area who had been quite kind to him and Miu since they were young.
Leaving home, Takeru leisurely walked towards the Hoshino household. Along the way, wherever he went, the head-turning rate was as high as eighty percent.
Some shop owners, quite familiar with Takeru, warmly greeted him, asking if he wanted to buy some cooked food or vegetables.
To these, Takeru politely shook his head and refused.
Watching the pedestrians passing by on the street and the constant flow of traffic, Takeru felt a sense of leisurely comfort. No heavy study or work pressure, no need to worry about mortgages or car loans...
The Hoshino household wasn't far from Takeru's apartment. After a leisurely ten-plus minute walk, he saw an ordinary residential area. Walking forward, Takeru arrived at the Hinata's house.
Upon arriving, he knocked directly on the door.
"Co... coming. Yo... you are..." Hearing the knock, a timid voice quickly came. Then, as the door opened, Takeru saw Hoshino Miyako with a fearful expression.
"Hi, long time no see, Hoshino-san. I'm here to pick up Hinata. She should be at home, right?" Seeing the somewhat scared Miyako, Takeru calmly greeted her.
