--It's called 'Holy Love Day' in our world, a day like Valentine's Day in a previous life.

　I was under attack from Liu.

"Master!　Good catching up!　My deepest sense "Maid Masked Fire"!

　Liu stretched out his arms in front of him and said, "Hah! and fires a beam toward you, making a sorta motion.

"Sweet!　You think I don't know your secrets and have no countermeasures?　"Demon King Ice Barrier"!

　I, on the other hand, said, "Nuh-uh! And crosses his arms in front of his body and guards the maid-masked fire, a sort of movement.

I've been reading that defense!　Take the Maid's Mask Earth Trap, a trap that is set in the field and only activated when the opponent is defending.

"Geez--what did you expect me to say!　Activate counter magic, "Demon King Double!　When an opponent is hit, double the attack once and return it to the opponent!　Die by your own attack, Liu!

"What? I'm not going to say what?　The "extra-sheer heel" to heal everything!　All damage from your master's attacks are healed and virtually nullified!

"Torya!

　A smiley-faced Si points her hands at Liu and makes a cursory motion to recover her. Cute.

I'm going to get it!　All right, if you're going to shhhh, we have the means to do it too!　Activate, "Maid Sage Leila's Inversion Field"!　From now on, all magic effects will be reversed in this place, and if you recover, it will still do the damage!　Recovery by Shee is no longer available!

"Yes, I'm on it!

　Maid Sage Leila waves her finger a bit and makes a flipping field-like motion.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it.

You're going to be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this.　But we know how to neutralize it!　Scattered, "The many chores we failed to do"!　Leila is going to have to leave this place to deal with my screw-up!　Now the inversion field is gone!

"...... don't you feel sad for saying that to yourself?

Please don't worry about it. ...... Please don't worry about it.

　If you were damaged enough to say it twice, you should have stopped.

　--This game of shouting technique names, which looks like a casual shouting match, actually has strict rules.

　Improvise a move or magic and defeat your opponent by alternately smashing them together.
　The techniques must not be unreasonable, and if, for example, you defend against a water-attribute attack with a fire-attribute, the damage you receive will be significant.

　It's a good idea to take into account the various attributes of the attack and defense, just as Maid Sage Leila's clunker worked effectively against Maid Masked Liu.

　The rest is ...... well, tension is high.
　As long as our souls are concealed in each other's cages, it's good to be concealed.

　Judging is a matter of self-judgment by me and Liu's own people.
　It's a head-to-head match based on sportsmanship.

　The longest time this battle lasted was nearly 30 moves, and then a disgusted Reffi said, "You guys take a bath. The game once ended in a tie because of a recommendation to "take a bath and leave the rest to you!
　I didn't set up my HP or anything, so I didn't have many wins or losses.

　No, no. It's a battle so serious between me and Liu that it cannot be easily settled.

　This is not just a game, this is a serious battle with our whole being at stake. ......!

Gohon ......, now it's your husband's turn!　Or do you want to just admit defeat?　It's okay to say we won, right?

"What do you think?　I'm just getting warmed up. I'm going to show you the essence of the Demon King's power by all means--

　And just as he is about to unleash a new technique on Liu, Reffi appears from the kitchen.

"Come on, boys, it's time to eat! Come here!

"Oh, hey.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

　Even a serious battle with all your body and soul is no match for a meal.

　Yes, this is the truth of the world: ......!

"How about it, Yuki!　This is our masterpiece, the Keiki the Conqueror!

"Oh, ......

　Leffy stretches her chest in front of a large whole cake.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Let's just say that, aside from Shi, Liu . I know you're proud of yourself, but you were just playing with me a while ago.

　She and Leila were with us, but they finished their portion of the work early, so they stayed in the living room, out of the way of the others.
　Leila was sent to the living room because she decided that if she left them in the kitchen, she would finish them all by herself before she could share them.

　Well, it seems that Liu also helped with some of the cooking, and apparently she was left alone to play with me on a different mission, so in that sense, I can be proud to say that she is well versed in her work.

This year, we all worked together to make a piece of cake, learning from our previous mistakes. With this one, you won't be able to finish it, and we can eat it too!



"The second half isn't the real story?

Of course it is. You are incidental, incidental.

　I laugh at Leffy's deliberately petty comments and then thank her.

"Thank you, I'm so happy for you guys. --Then it's time for dinner!　The food besides the cake is gorgeous and looks delicious!

Hehe, we all worked hard on it!　This area is me, this area is Shi, this area is En, this area is Ray, and this area is--

　As Iruna began to explain the dishes one by one, I chuckled and foolishly patted her head.

"Haha, so what Iruna means is that you all made this dish together, right?

"Yeah!　That's it!

Okay, so you'll tell me all about it as we eat. I'm just hungry and starving. I don't think I can stand all the food you guys have prepared for me.

Mmm, that's a bad idea!　We've got to get to dinner now!

Hungry Boy, eat a lot of food!

　I sat down in a chair, with Iruna and Sy holding my hand.
