The setting sun was halfway outside the Xishan Mountains, and the crisp sound of tableware passing and colliding sounded on the dining table.

"Haha, today's dinner is very rich." Rinsley placed a huge pot in the center of the neutron, and declared proudly with a pair of crisp breasts.

This is her proud Lauren Frost-style hot pot dish.

After all the members were gathered, everyone took a seat around the dining table with the section of a big tree. Under the boiling cauldron, there are fire-type elf ore that burns brightly; beside the cauldron, there are mountains of ingredients—fresh vegetables picked from the forest, cut river fish, and animal meat from hunting.

"I'm cooking hot pot today, it looks so delicious."

Seeing that the broth was boiling, Mu Hantian picked up a piece of meat and wanted to throw it into the pot.

"Classmate Han Tian! You can't be so unruly!"

A large spoon greeted him on his arm.

"What's wrong? Why not?"

"You must start with the slow-cooked root vegetables first. There is also a balance that cannot be broken in hot pot." Rinsley stared at Mu Hantian with a stern expression, widening her pitiful emerald green eyes.

Mu Hantian quietly bit his ear with Claire who was sitting next to her and said, "Claire, don't you think Rinsley's personality seems to be getting weird?"

"That guy has been like that since the beginning, taking the lead every time he eats hot pot..."

"Hot pot looks like a very simple dish at first glance, but the greatness in the ordinary, and the esoteric in the simplicity; don't underestimate the traditional hot pot dishes of my Lauren Frost!"

Miss Rinsley stood proudly, her arms crossed her chest, and her eyes were like torches. It's like the guardian of hot pot.

I saw Rinsley put meat and vegetables in order in a neat manner.

Everyone could only swallow their saliva and wait for her cooking.

"Okay, please use it!"

After finally waiting for the guardian's order, Mu Hantian couldn't wait to take food from the pot.

This hot pot does not use an ordinary clear soup base, but Rinsley's special medicated soup, which makes the ingredients more flavorful.

The good taste that lingers on the cheeks constantly stimulates the appetite; once you bite down the freshly cooked meat, the gravy immediately fills your mouth, forming an indescribable sense of happiness.

"Oh? ... This is very good!"

"Heh...does it even need to be said!"

Rinsley puffed out her chest triumphantly.

The other eldest ladies also exhaled hot steam and ate their food.

"Hey, Claire! That's the meat I'll be feeding Scarlet later!"

"Wait, did I say you can tempt my contract elf with food without authorization!"

Claire and Ellis gathered around the hot pot and started a sword dance at the table; on the other hand, their contract elves stayed at the bottom of the table, waiting to share the master's leftovers.

"Huh... what is this?" Fianna frowned.

At a glance, it turned out that there was a strange and soft ingredient on the bottom of the pot.

Mu Hantian also noticed that object. But I didn't expect this world to exist.

"It's called tofu—it's a kind of pudding made by grinding soybean pulp. I found this in a book." Rinsley said proudly.

"Let me eat and see." Mu Hantian said while picking up the soft tofu.

Mu Hantian took a small sip with a little nervousness.

"Oh! It's very slippery, this tofu."

The soft and smooth taste, with the mellow flavor, is really delicious.

"Really, let me eat and see... um, it's really delicious!"

"The taste of tofu is incredible. I have never tasted this kind of thing in the imperial palace of the imperial capital."

Claire and others are also full of praise for tofu.

The one who loves it the most is Esther——

"Tofu, tofu tofu..."

She murmured expressionlessly as she ate tofu bit by bit.

"Oops... I hate it, can you be polite! This dish is made for classmate Han Tian!"

"what……"

Suddenly, Alice, who had silently lowered her head to enjoy tofu, suddenly widened her eyes.

"Alice, what's wrong?"

"No...No, I...I just discovered something suddenly..."

When asked by Mu Hantian, Alice immediately blushed and stammered.

"what is it?"

"Every... don't you think that eating hot pot is a kind of... suspicion of indirect kissing?"

"Well……"

When I heard Alice's declaration without being mentally prepared, all the girls at the table froze and didn't move.

"Hey, hey, you're exaggerating. How can there be such a thing?" Mu Hantian smiled wryly and waved his hand to relieve the embarrassment.

"Just... just... just say it! This... such a trivial matter, how can it be regarded as an occasional... indirect kiss...!"

"Alice! It's you...you think too much."

The girls were all blushing with shame.

After the farce subsided, the lively dinner time was almost over.

Claire put down the spoon slowly, cleared her throat and said, "Everyone, there are only two days left for the main event of the 'Sword Dance Festival'. Let's fight with all our strength and don't leave a trace of regret."

"Hmm, you're right."

"Yes, I will never give up my dream of winning the championship!"

That's right, the main event is at the end of the game at this point. In order to dominate this battle with a limited number of 'magic stones', we are bound to aggressively attack the 'stronghold' that the enemy team is holding on to.

The same is true for other teams. From now on, I am afraid it will be a series of more intense battles.

At this time, Mu Hantian inadvertently noticed a gloom on Fianna's face.

"Fianna... are you okay?"

"Well, I'm fine... maybe I'm a little tired."

"It's no wonder, after all, ritual dancing takes a lot of energy."

"You'd better go to bed and take a nap first."

"You're right, then I'll go to rest first."

Fianna slowly got up and walked towards the tent.

………………

After dinner, Mu Hantian helped Rinsley wash the dishes by the creek.

Claire and Alice were patrolling around the 'stronghold', while Est and Restia were having a good time with Scarlet.

"Rinsley, as the eldest lady, you wash the dishes yourself, aren't you afraid your hands will get thicker?"

While washing the dishes, Mu Hantian and Rinsley chatted.

"Hehe, don't bother you anymore. I'm Rinsley, who enjoys the reputation of the ice demon, and the water elves are my good friends."

It turned out to be so - looking closely, the wooden bucket that Rinslet's hands soaked was full of pure light, and the soft jelly-like spirit inside was carefully helping her wash the dishes.

"Fianna should be fine, right?"

"Claire has just picked some herbs that are very effective in recovering from fatigue and gave them to her."

"For some reason, that guy seems to be very attentive to the sick or injured."

"Yeah, don't look at her like that...Actually, Claire is very good at taking care of people in private. When she was at the academy, she often took care of stray cats; when she was a child, she would also accompany the sick bed to take care of the infirm Rubia-sama. "

"yes……"

In fact, Mu Hantian was not too surprised. Although Claire's personality is not frank, her nature is very gentle and kind. Mu Hantian is very clear about this.

"Speaking of which, aren't Rinslet and Claire childhood playmates growing up together?"

"Yeah. We used to play together when we were young... But, don't get me wrong, it's just a bad fate."

"Have you been bickering a lot since you were kids?"

"That's not...that kid Claire, not only was he a crybaby when he was a child, but he also likes to be bullshit."

"It's completely impossible to associate with her now." Mu Hantian reached out and rubbed his temples and whispered.

"Since Lord Rubia left, that child has changed." Rinsley lowered her eyes and looked at the barrel, and said in a low voice.

"Ruby Alstein...?"

Betrayed the Elf King of Fire and disappeared from the scene as the 'Elven Princess of Calamity'.

The 'wish' that Claire wanted to fulfill by participating in the 'Sword Dance Festival' was to know the truth of the events four years ago. And where does his own sister live now?

"That guy is also carrying an unknown burden..."

Mu Hantian pondered while looking down at the moonlight reflected on the water.
