Becoming an Oni in this land of illusion

Chapter 35

[Ibaraki]

I look at the two people who slung their heads down while Patchouli is berating them, I hope they will learn their lessons after this.

Well I guess it's partially my fault since It's akin to put two roosters inside a pen, I should've let them reconcile first

------------

And... they didn't learn anything from that and decided to fight again...

"Huh?! Who said you are stepping inside my house?!"

Marisa aggressively denies Stella's entrance, while Stella Aggressively wanting to be let in

"Well I am her maid after all, so It's normal for me to be by her side"

"no, no, no, she is already an adult, so she doesn't need a maid"

They are still arguing I want it to end...

"Ahem! Can we eat something, I'm starving?"

I'll create a new topic, so they will not fight

"so It's already late... then I will cook something"

I decided to pitch in, so Marisa will not argue with her again...

"You are cooking? That's nice, I miss your cooking for a very long time after all"

"Ibaraki, Is her cooking that good?"

Marisa asked me, seemingly jealous because I prefer Stella's cooking than hers

"to be honest I always eat her cooking that my standard of good has become high"

"but it depends on you really, we have different taste that my standard of good is not quite the same as yours"

"Then... is my cooking delicious?"

Marisa asked me, while she seemed afraid to know the answer

"of course!"

I kissed her deeply and look at her surprised eyes

"just like you"

she blushed heavily and not knowing what to do while I chuckle at the display, in the corner of my eye I saw Stella clenching her hands

as I sigh mentally and gathered my thoughts and decided to give my plan a shot

"Marisa, Shuten is just as important as you to me if she didn't exist I am sure I am not here being with you"

"That's why, for my sake, can you two please reconcile?"

I bow my head, so she could see I am serious about it

"you don't need to bow... I'll definitely try Ibaraki..."

She said with uncertainties, It's understandable since even I can't really think about the word sharing

I look at the spot where Stella is, but she is not there, and I hear the clattering of the kitchen

"we should go inside since Shuten already cooking..."

"Ah, ill help Shuten and you can just rest for a while"

Marisa said with such calmness

"just don't fight, please"

----------------------------------

[Marisa]

I stepped in the kitchen and sees the tear stained Oni, and it made me feel bad

"What? Are you going to make fun of me again?"

She asked with an obvious anger on her voice

"no, I am here with a different purpose"
