Chapter 145 The Priest's Warning
Before anyone knew it, Kuonji Yuzu had gotten up from the sofa and quietly appeared behind Aoko.
Yuzhu leaned slightly closer to the microphone.
There was not a ripple in those dark eyes, but the voice that came out seemed to freeze the person on the other end of the phone:
"That man is the familiar I recently summoned and signed a contract with. Also, watch your words, Wenbing Yongli."
On the other end of the phone, Moon Byung-yong-ri, who had been smiling jokingly, paused for a moment.
"So Miss Yuzhu is here too." A few seconds later, the priest's voice returned to normal, even carrying a hint of feigned humility.
"I apologize for my previous flippant remarks."
"Did you hear that!" Aoko immediately covered up for Yuzhu's words, her confidence instantly rising.
"That guy isn't some male concubine or human; he's a familiar that Yuju summoned from her family home in England late last night!"
"You better watch your mouth!"
"..."
Moon Byung-yong-ri paused for a full five seconds on the other end of the phone, and this time, his tone revealed obvious doubt:
"Excuse me for speaking frankly, but when has the fairy tale monster in Miss Ari-chan's house ever had such a perfect human form?"
Moreover, could a mere newly summoned familiar really cause such a terrifying magical shockwave last night?
"That's none of your business!" Aoko retorted forcefully.
After asserting her dominance, Yu-joo returned to silence, relinquishing the right to negotiate to her cohabiting partner.
Aoko snorted coldly:
"The depth of Ayumi's magic is beyond the comprehension of a charlatan like you."
In short, he has signed a strict master-servant contract with Yuzhu, and everything is under our control.
As long as he doesn't attack ordinary people, your Holy Church has no reason to interfere in the affairs of our territory!
"I see... It's just an ordinary possession of Miss Ariel...."
On the other end of the phone, Moon Byung-yong-ri pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses.
Although Kuonji Yuju vouched for him personally, and Aozaki Aoko's tone was very firm, his intuition as the proxy clearly told him...
That man is definitely not just a "familiar".
"Since Miss Aoko has made such a guarantee, the Church will naturally not spoil the fun of the two witches at this time."
Moon Byung-rye resumed his initial feigned gentleness, but before hanging up, his voice suddenly turned cold, coldly conveying the church's final warning:
"However, Qingzi, since you're practically my fellow disciple, I'll give you a piece of advice."
"You'd better make sure that collar around the 'familiar's' neck is secure."
If he bares any uncontrolled fangs on the streets of Misaki, or crosses any of the Church's boundaries...
Wen Bingyongli chuckled softly:
"At that time, the church will not go easy on you just because of your relationship with him."
Wishing you a pleasant life living together.
"Click." The call was unilaterally disconnected.
"That damn priest... he's infuriating!"
Aoko gritted her teeth and slammed the receiver back onto the landline, her chest heaving with anger.
Standing to the side, Yuzhu's already expressionless face was now covered with a layer of frost, as if she wanted to keep strangers away.
"Miss Aoko, Miss Arizu."
An apologetic voice broke the tense atmosphere in the living room.
Looking at the two angry girls in front of him, Arthur's ingrained composure made him realize something immediately.
"I'm sorry, it seems my going out has caused you trouble again..."
"No! Arthur, this has nothing to do with you!"
Aoko scratched her hair in frustration, turned around, and said loudly:
"I simply hate that hypocritical priest! He just can't stand seeing us in peace and quiet!"
"I only felt that my territory had been offended because of that guy's words."
Yuzhu walked back to the sofa, sat down, picked up her black tea, and spoke in an icy tone:
"Since you are now my 'possession,' his questioning of you is questioning of me."
Arthur watched the two witches protecting him in different ways, a hint of warmth appearing in his emerald eyes. He gently touched his chest:
"Thank you both for your understanding."
Aoko took a deep breath and shoved the thick "Complete Guide to Modern Home Cooking," which she had just bought at the bookstore on the way, into Arthur's arms:
"So Arthur, go make a big meal! I'm going to have a good feast and forget all that disgusting feeling!"
"I see!"
Arthur carefully accepted the "Modern Kitchen Magic Book" and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Watching Arthur's figure disappear around the corner of the kitchen, Aoko breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Phew... Great, I've successfully changed the subject. Time to get back to my room and lay low for a bit..."
"So, Aoko."
Just as Aoko's footsteps moved toward the stairs, Arisu's icy voice, seemingly from the depths of hell, rang out in the empty hall.
Aoko's body stiffened instantly.
Yuzhu put down her teacup, placed her hands folded on her knees, and fixed her dark eyes on Aoko with the same intensity as when eyeing prey.
"So, before we go out for a big meal, shouldn't you explain to me what you were doing outside today...?"
What stupid thing did I do to be caught red-handed by that priest the moment I got back?
"I... well... actually..."
Under the witch's absolute majesty, Aoko's imposing manner when facing the priest vanished completely.
She could only hunch her shoulders like a schoolchild who had done something wrong, and in a weak voice, recount her painful experience of "attracting a phenomenal crowd" on the commercial street.
"madness."
After listening to Aoko's report, Arizuka gave her a stern reprimand without any hesitation. She looked at this unreliable roommate and sighed.
"You can't even do the most basic concealment... Starting today, we'll add a new lesson to our evening practice."
You must teach me the magic of 'presence dilution' and 'cognitive blocking'!
If you can't even keep this simple matter of secrecy, then I, as your magic instructor, will look like a complete failure!
"Huh?! I'm not good at those delicate magic tricks! Ayumi..." Aoko's desperate wail echoed in the hall.
An hour later, a sumptuous lunch was served.
This was my first time encountering these complex modern dishes.
Therefore, Arthur meticulously followed the steps in "The Complete Cookbook" to create a replica with "industrial-grade precision".
Weight, heat, and time—perfectly accurate.
Therefore, the tempting-looking French red wine beef stew and Italian seafood soup exuded an incredibly amazing aroma.
"Mmm! This is so delicious!"
Aoko completely cast aside the gloom of being scolded by Yuzhu and began to eat heartily without any restraint, her azure eyes filled with admiration.
"This is clearly my first time making this dish, how come Arthur made it so perfectly! The taste is so good, you could be a Michelin-starred chef!"
Yu-ju sat opposite her, holding a silver knife and fork, and elegantly cut off a small piece of beef and put it into her mouth.
The beef was stewed until tender and flavorful, and the combination of spices achieved a mathematically perfect balance.
They were used to the perfunctory meals that Aoko usually made, which were barely enough to fill their stomachs.
Now, as she savors Arthur's cooking, Yuzhu experiences a long-lost, ultimate enjoyment from her taste buds.
Yuzhu maintained her icy, expressionless demeanor, and offered a curt comment:
"The taste is indeed very good. In terms of cooking, it is much more refined than Aoko's."
"Hey, Arisa!"
Yuzhu ignored Aoko's dissatisfaction. She looked at Arthur, who was dutifully pouring them red tea, and silently made an assessment in her mind.
Although this man is someone who could cause huge trouble for the church and the Magic Association at any time.
But his obedience, learning ability, and excellent culinary skills...
Undeniably, the value demonstrated by this "possession" has exceeded her initial expectations.
