Because the maid helped prepare the dishes, this dinner was served just in time for the usual meals.
Senior Sister Quail had been waiting at the door early, helping him bring food and rice and setting out the bowls and chopsticks.
Occasionally, he would find tissues and wipe his cheeks that were greasy from the smoke.
"Thank you for your hard work..."
After Senior Quail took out all the finished dishes, she stood aside and looked at the last dish in the pot and said to him Nunuu.
"You know I'm working hard, why are you standing here stupidly? Come here and squeeze my shoulders, they're so sore..."
He turned around and saw his senior sister's pretty face reddened by the fireworks, and said with a smile.
"oh..."
Originally he was just joking, but to his surprise, the senior actually walked up behind him, raised her soft little hand and pressed it on his shoulder.
"Um?"
He was a little surprised, but he didn't refuse, but his cooking movements were a little smaller.
"Sorry, I don't know how to cook...but I will let my mother teach me when I go back...I will study hard..."
The soft and waxy voice of the senior sister sounded from behind, and her tone was very serious.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to learn how to cook it for me." He replied somewhat casually while enjoying the massage while frying vegetables.
"Yeah!" The senior sister made a rare and energetic voice, sounding very satisfied.
"Here, take it out. You can call them to eat."
He put the last dish on the plate and handed it to the senior sister, washed his hands and walked outside.
By the time he came out of the dining room, all the girls had already crowded the small dining room of the Nakano family.
The older ones, like Yaliu and the senior sister, were better off, sitting upright and waiting for his arrival, only looking at the table and swallowing their saliva from time to time.
As for the younger ones, little Lolita Ai Sui could no longer control herself and stretched out her chopsticks to the dishes on the table. Her little hands turned red after being slapped by her sister, so she put down her chopsticks aggrievedly.
"Nakano Nissan..."
Hachiyanagi Akiho, who didn't come in to say hello just now, as the youngest girl in the room, was serving food for everyone, and her movements looked very skillful.
Seeing Nakano Mayu coming over, Akiho immediately stopped pretending to eat, bowed slightly to greet him, and said in a respectful tone: "Thank you very much for the hospitality..."
"There's no need to be so polite, Akiho-chan..."
He walked towards the only empty seat left for him, which was also the main seat.
When I passed by little Lolita Ai Sui, I pinched her tender little face that puckered up after being slapped by her sister.
"Hahaha, don't wait for me, just start eating..."
After he finished speaking, he clasped his hands together according to the custom here: "I'm starting..."
Usually it doesn't matter if it's just him and Nanako, they can be happy as they please.
But since we are entertaining guests today, it would be better to just go through the motions.
After he finished speaking, he immediately took the first bite of food while Aiho watched eagerly.
Ai Sui cheered when she saw this.
"Ah woo..." I directly picked up a large piece of pork belly that was cooked into a brown sauce with a fragrant aroma. I put it into my small mouth and chewed it, just like a little squirrel hiding two chestnuts in its mouth. Look.
It looks silly and cute.
"hehe..."
Everyone started using their chopsticks one after another, and the scene became heated for a while.
Riho-chan's voice instructing her sister, Nanako's warm greeting voice, and Mizuki's joking voice mixed together, and the entire Nakano family suddenly became lively.
Nakano Mayu looked at Reika who was sitting at the bottom, holding bowls and chopsticks and chewing slowly, and asked mysteriously: "Reika, can you drink that wine?"
The little maid was not originally ready to take a seat. It was only at Nanako's strong request that she finally took a seat. At this time, she was sitting closest to the rice cooker and the kitchen, ready to help the guests with food.
"That's alright, Master Nakano, I'm going to take it out now."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, she put down her bowls and chopsticks and walked directly into the kitchen.
"Nakano-kun, do you want to drink?"
"Why does Nini suddenly want to drink?"
"Brother, do you want to drink?"
"..."
After hearing his words, the scene suddenly became chaotic. Everyone expressed their opinions, but no one said anything about underage drinking.
Nakano Mayu looked around happily, only Hachiyanagi Akiho's usually serious little face showed a bit of tangle, but he did not express any objection, but ate the food silently.
He knew that for the girls present, his underage drinking was basically not a big problem.
Not to mention the Yatsuyanagi family who own an izakaya. Judging from the naughty and mischievous appearance of Aiho, she must have drank secretly since she was a child, not to mention the always bold Riho.
As for Chisa and Reika, two people from a chaebol family, if they said that they had never drank before, they would probably be laughed at.
As we all know, laws in capitalist countries like neon are basically used to restrain the poor.
For these consortium-level figures, they have already had the concept that "a scholar-bureaucrat cannot be punished".
Let alone underage drinking, even if Chisa kills someone in public and is broadcast live nationwide, her legal team will still have a hundred ways to help her solve the problem.
Of course, this will definitely have an irreparable impact on her own reputation.
Mizuki Eri's expression became excited after hearing the word "drink". Basically, it was a case of "breaking the law" together.
Only the senior sister frowned slightly at this moment, biting her lower lip silently, looking at his expression that was hesitant to speak.
But after being given a "vicious" look by him, he immediately retreated and concentrated on eating...
"Master Nakano..."
The maid took out the white wine, cold beer, and sake that had been sobered, and placed them on the small cupboard next to the dining table.
"Nini, I want to drink too!"
Nanako was the first to comment.
Nakano Mayu simply looked around and asked, "Who else wants to drink?"
He is not opposed to having a drink during family dinners. At least he can know in advance what the wine is, and he probably has an idea of ​​his own drinking capacity.
It is better than being suppressed from a young age and not being allowed to drink, and then having no idea what your drinking capacity will do when you become an adult.
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. In the end, except for Akiho-chan and Soshi Mio who refused to drink, even the senior sister agreed with his "gentle" look and asked for a glass of beer.
But he was still the only one who chose to drink liquor.
After all, for these children, the content of liquor is like a fantasy.
With the help of Mingho-chan, Reika poured everyone's wine one by one.
When Nakano Mayu saw this, he also directly raised his glass: "I wish my cutest sister Nanako a happy 16th birthday today!"
"oh oh!!"
Everyone clinked glasses with smiles on their faces.
It seems that this Yanguo family-style dinner party is also very new to them.
There was a moment of cheering and cheering, and everyone congratulated Nanako and gave out gifts.
After Nanako carefully put all the gifts she received together, she turned to look at him.
Nakano Mayu had already drank two glasses of white wine and his mind was a little blurry. He happily went back to his room and took out the gift box Riho-chan had prepared for him from his school bag and handed it to him.
Nanako didn't open the gifts on the spot. After all, they were still eating, but she just took them all back to her room.
He looked at his sister's back going upstairs and shook his head.
It seems that my drinking ability is really bad now. I shouldn't be able to drink anymore tonight...
While he was thinking...
"Onii-sama~" Eri Mizuki took advantage of Nanako to take the gift back to the room, walked up to him with a decanter of white wine and poured wine for him.
He looked slightly startled, but still subconsciously raised his cup to cooperate.
"Gudong, Gudong..."
Mizuki Eri directly filled the large cup he usually used to drink tea to eight full.
The total of his two small cups just now was probably less than three points.
"Mizuki-chan, stop, stop, stop..."
By the time he reacted, the wine glass was already full and about to overflow.
"I'm sorry, Onii-sama, I'm a little dizzy because I just drank some sake..."
Mizuki Eri had an apologetic look on her face, her big eyes instantly became moist, and it looked like she had done it accidentally.
"It's okay...you have to fill the wine completely, but this is Yanguo's liquor. The alcohol content is too high. I'm worried that I won't be able to finish it..."
Nakano Mayu wasn't angry either. After all, the little girl drank alcohol and didn't know the alcohol content, so it wasn't a problem.
But he looked at the drink that was almost overflowing in the glass, with a trace of distress on his face. He still knew the price of this thing. This glass probably cost hundreds of thousands of yen...
Even though it's not my own wine, I feel just as distressed.
"I'm sorry, Onii-sama..." Mizuki Eri pitifully took her quilt and toasted to him to apologize.
Originally, the way of toasting at Neon was relatively complicated, but by now, after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was already up.
In addition, these little sisters didn't know much about the rules of the drinking table. At this time, Mizuki Eri directly drank the sake in her small cup, about one or two, in one go.
"I apologize to you, brother. I hope you won't be angry..." The girl's healthy, wheat-colored skin turned rosy at this time. Even her neck was slightly red. She really looked like she had drunk too much.
.
"Mizuki-chan, how can you go back at night like this?" He asked with some confusion after drinking a little bit of the wine in his glass.
"I just made an agreement with Nanako-sama to sleep with her tonight..."
"Is that so? That's fine..."
"Huh? I want to sleep with the minister too!" Aiho, who had drank a glass of beer, seemed to be possessed by a demon. After hearing the conversation between the two, she jumped out of the chair and shouted with her hands on her hips.
"Boom!"
"Woo..."
Riho-chan put down her chopsticks and hit her head with a knife, almost knocking out her tongue just like he did with Nanako just now.
"It's so rude to speak so loudly, Aiho!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, brother-sama, but I also want to sleep with the minister tonight..."
Aiho pouted and apologized, then walked over to him again, held his other arm and shook it.
The little panda that had just begun to grow clung to his arm without hesitation, causing him to glance at Riho-chan awkwardly for a moment.
But seeing that Riho-chan was only choosing the dishes in front of her, her face was red and her eyes were a little distracted.
Could this guy have grown up in an izakaya but never drank in a bar?
When Nakano Mayu saw that Riho-chan didn't respond, he also said to Aiho-chan in a warm voice: "I can't decide on this kind of thing. I need Nanako to agree..."
"Then I'll ask the Minister!"
After the little Lolita Ai Sui finished speaking, she hummed a song she had heard in the bathroom of Baliu's house before and skipped upstairs.
This very impressive ballad evoked some beautiful scenes in Nakano Mayu's reaction, and he subconsciously looked towards Hachiyanagi Riho.
The hot blood flowing all over my body accelerates in an instant...
But the girl's eyes were almost completely distracted at this time, and other than the actions of eating food and drinking, she didn't respond to his gaze at all.
He rubbed his somewhat swollen temples and felt that tonight's meal was slowly getting worse.
He looked around and saw that at this time, except for Mingsui and Sister Swordsman, two people who had not touched alcohol at all were still very sober.
At this time, the pretty faces of Miss Nishimiya and Senior Quail had turned crimson, and their eyes were slightly divergent.
Fortunately for Chisa, she drank sake and participated in several toasts. Almost every time, she drank one glass to the end.
But the senior sister still has half a glass of beer left, so why is she blushing like this...
"Lixiang, please put away all the wine on the table. They can't drink any more..."
Thinking of this, he directly gave instructions to the maid who had just brought out the processed fruit from the kitchen.
"Yes, Master Nakano!"
Although Reika also drank two glasses of sake, her eyes were still clear and clear, and the fair skin on her face was as usual, with no trace of rosiness at all.
"No...don't accept it, I still want to drink it!"
But unexpectedly, the first person to have problems was Riho, who had spoken sternly when educating her sister. At this time, she was holding her half-cup of sake, not giving Reika a chance to clean it up, and shouting loudly at the same time.
The volume was obviously louder than Ai Sui's voice just now.
If Riho had a sister, she would probably have her tongue knocked out by now.
"Sister...stop drinking. If you drink any more, you won't be able to go home tonight..."
Akiho, who had always remained awake, glanced at Nakano Mayu with a somewhat shy expression, and quickly tried to persuade her eldest sister.
"If you don't come back, I won't come back. I want to...burp...I'm also sleeping at Nakano's house!"
Riho Hachiyanagi ignored her sister's persuasion and boldly said something that she would never say if she were sober, without any embarrassment on her face.
Nakano Mayu covered his forehead.
He really didn't expect that Riho-chan, who usually looked the shrewdest and had big eyes that darted around quickly, didn't even know how much he had drunk.
A few glasses of sake and this is what it looks like...
Eh?
How many drinks has she had?
He felt as if his brain had become a little sluggish, and his reaction to things happening around him was a few beats slower.
"Sleep! Riho-chan, you can sleep at my house tonight, just..." For some reason, he who originally wanted to advise him changed his words to agreement, and his tone became a little stuttering: "Just sleep in my house..."
.My bed, my bed for... you to sleep on!"
"Okay!" Riho-chan seemed to have turned into a second Aiho, raising her hands in the air and cheering: "Then let's..."
"Nakano-kun???"
"Senior Nakano?"
Miss Nishimiya, who was still eating quietly, suddenly raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes.
And Senior Sister Quail, who was sitting on his left side and had been silently serving him food and pouring wine, raised her head and looked up at him. Her original divergent eyes disappeared, and her eyes were moist.
"Um?"
Nakano Mayu suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something outrageous just now.
Although it was Ai Sui's ballad that reminded him of the past.
But the biggest problem at this time is the alcohol in the body!
It seemed that his perception and brain operation speed were slowed down a lot, and the emotions that he usually suppressed were amplified many times.
"I mean, Riho...sleep...sleep in my bed, and I sleep...in the master bedroom, hahaha."
After he explained, he gave the little maid a 'wink' and asked the little maid to take charge of handling the current situation.
"I'm full. Let's go to the room to rest first. You guys can eat slowly..."
Under normal circumstances, as the host, he should accompany the guests until they finish eating.
But he felt that his condition seemed to be very bad, and the people present were almost all his own, so he walked directly to the vacant master bedroom left by his parents.
As soon as I walked into the master bedroom, I felt a strong sense of sleepiness.
"Well..."
However, Nakano Mayu's brain function has become a bit slow, but on the other hand, his operation seems to have become more rapid.
He suppressed his sleepiness, took out his mobile phone and sent a line to Lixiang:
[Gluttonous Pig: When they all go to bed tonight, come to the room to find me...]
