“What is your name?”
“You can just call me Shelly.”
Shelly answered in response.
“Alright, you rest first, and I’ll go make dinner.”
Kain didn’t believe for a second that her name was just Shelly.
It was definitely a pseudonym, but that was normal; after all, when traveling out in the world, one could never be too careful.
Especially when facing a stranger, how could one possibly expose their real name?
“Hiss, I just blurted out my real name directly, there shouldn’t be any other issues, right?”
“It shouldn’t be a problem, I haven’t made enemies with anyone.”
Thinking about this, Kain went back downstairs.
Looking at her clothes on the bedside table and then at the bathrobe on her body, Shelly felt a sense of loss.
She had met a good person, but he was a bit too nice and didn’t even know how to avoid suspicion.
She was a girl, after all, and having him change her clothes directly like that was truly a bit embarrassing.
“Right, I need to contact the leader quickly, otherwise the leader will think I’ve already fallen in battle.”
Shelly suddenly thought of something, but the moment she moved, her whole body hurt like hell.
“Hiss… Let’s rest for a bit first, and then contact the leader. But my Poké Ball shouldn’t be lost, right?”
Shelly had spent goodness knows how many resources raising those Pokémon of hers.
If they were accidentally lost, that would be the biggest disaster and completely unacceptable.
Fortunately, however, she saw her Poké Ball hanging from the waist of her clothes on the bedside table.
“It’s good that it wasn’t lost, but where is this place?”
“It should be like this, yeah, just like this, but should I add some of these Berries for that woman?”
Kain thought to himself as he looked at the Berries on the table.
He wasn’t an idiot; he knew this stuff was definitely precious.
He and that woman weren’t even close, so adding this Berry would be a bit too extravagant.
“Forget it, just squeezing a few drops of juice will do, just enough to have a sense of participation.”
After thinking about it, Kain still couldn’t bear to put the Berry in.
He wasn’t close with that woman, so there was no need to use such good things.
“Big Guy, Little One, you guys eat first, don’t wait for me.”
After shouting to Gyarados and Dragonair, Kain carried the food upstairs.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
After knocking three times, he pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing that Shelly was still lying in bed, he smiled, “I’ve made dinner, you should eat a little too. You can only recover your health once you’re full.” Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
With that, he placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and left the room.
“It smells so good!”
Shelly was attracted by the aroma right away.
Looking at the bowl on the bedside table, she swallowed hard.
However, she still forcibly turned her head away; this person was simply too nice to others, and she worried he might have put something bad in it.
When one was out and about, one still had to protect oneself.
But this food smelled simply too amazing, and Shelly felt she might not be able to hold out.
“Shelly, oh Shelly, to think you’re an executive of Team Aqua, can’t you even withstand this little bit of temptation?”
Shelly thought to herself.
She couldn’t just eat random things.
“I’ll just eat a little bit, a tiny bit should be fine.”
After struggling in her mind for a long time, Shelly finally couldn’t resist the aroma anymore, and with a trembling hand, she reached out and grabbed the spoon.
“This is rice? And egg? Meat? Such simple food, how can it smell so good?”
Shelly looked at this bowl of egg fried rice and thought in bewilderment.
She had never seen food made by master chefs smell as good as this.
“Phew, that handsome teenager shouldn’t be that kind of person, right? Should I try a bite?”
Shelly was persuaded by her stomach, picked up a spoonful with the spoon, and brought it to her lips.
“Hiss… I keep feeling like there’s something I forgot to tell that person. What was it?”
At the dining table, Kain thought suspiciously.
It seemed there was something he needed to tell the person named Shelly.
But he couldn’t remember what he needed to say.
“Dragonair!”
Dragonair leaned in close to look at Kain, wondering what was wrong with her Trainer that she couldn’t even focus on eating.
If her Trainer didn’t want to eat, she could take over for her.
“I don’t know either, it’s like there’s something I need to tell the person upstairs.”
After thinking for a while and truly unable to figure out what it was, Kain couldn’t be bothered to think anymore and just ate the egg fried rice bite by bite.
“Mmm… Just this flavor, delicious.”
Kain said with satisfaction, and suddenly, his eyes widened.
He remembered what it was he had forgotten.
Bang!
The sound of clothes exploding rang out; although it was very soft, to Kain, it was almost as if it had happened right in front of his eyes.
“Hiss… No way, Shelly won’t think I’m some kind of pervert, right?”
Knock, knock, knock…
“Um, Shelly, are you okay?”
“What did you put in the food?”
Inside the room, Shelly was wrapped in the quilt, leaving only her head exposed, and shouted toward the door.
Her heart was filled with shame and anger.
She had only taken a bite of the rice and was sighing aloud about how delicious the food was, when suddenly her face turned hot, and her clothes burst into fragments.
Even someone who had experienced many things like her found this hard to accept.
Feeling her burning body now, she increasingly felt that the teenager was not a good person.
To actually add aphrodisiacs into the food.
Truly despicable.
“Um, let me explain, anyone who eats the food I make becomes like this, their clothes will explode.”
Kain explained from the doorway; he was definitely not that kind of person, he was a great good guy, not some depraved villain.
“What? You’re saying this is caused by your food? Do you take me for a fool? Does eating normal food cause that kind of bodily reaction? You definitely added an aphrodisiac!”
Shelly didn’t believe anyone could have such an ability.
Where on earth could someone do something like this—making food so delicious it was like taking an aphrodisiac, and even blowing up clothes?
How could such an ability possibly exist in this world?
“It’s true! Aren’t you experiencing it right now? Feel it now, hasn’t that burning sensation already disappeared?”
Kain had no choice but to explain again.
This cooking ability of his wasn’t something he wanted; the system gave it to him, so there was nothing he could do.
No matter how it was made, it would always have this effect.
“It… it really is gone?”
Shelly said in surprise.
The previous sensation had already disappeared without a trace.
She slowly got up.
Could it be that she had overthought things?
Did this person really have this kind of ability?
“Um, there are more bathrobes in the room, inside the wardrobe. That’s pretty much it.”
Hearing no more sound, Kain finally offered a reminder.
Then he went downstairs; it was better to give her some time to accept it.
“Gurgle…”
Discovering that there really were no other issues, Shelly picked up the bowl once more.
As for the bathrobe, she would deal with it after eating; if she changed now, it would just explode again anyway, so she might as well not wear one at all.
