Chapter 586: Chapter 586 End of Tour, Reluctant Goodbyes

"What is that!" Suddenly, Hotaru noticed several unusual large trees growing in an area.

"Cotton Candy Trees. The cotton candy is real. Naturally grown cotton candy has a moderate sweetness. Depending on where the leaf grows, the flavor changes. Want to try some?" Looking at them, Miki introduced again.

Hearing Miki’s words, everyone fell silent. They had tried too many delicious foods along the way and were already very full.

"I’ll try some!" Finally, Hotaru quickly spoke up. Cotton candy was one of her favorite sweets.

Besides, she was truly curious about the difference between cotton candy from a tree and artificial cotton candy.

"Please give me some too."

"Me too."

With Hotaru’s lead, Natsumi and Komari quickly spoke up.

"Ah, cotton candy? Haven’t had it in a long time. Please give me some, thank you." Then, Kazuho’s slightly lazy voice sounded.

Hikage and Konomi hesitated but didn’t ask. Actually, they were also looking forward to even more delicious food later.

"So delicious. So sweet, so soft." Soon, after eating the cotton candy, Hotaru lightly held her face, showing a happy expression. Seeing this, Hikage regretted not asking.

"Nee-chan, give me a bite too." Then, Hikage turned to Kazuho.

"Alright." Seeing Hikage’s expectant expression, and thinking about more delicious food to come, Kazuho handed over the half-eaten cotton candy.

"So delicious!" Then, after tasting the natural cotton candy, Hikage also showed an extremely enjoyable expression.

"What is that!" Walking a bit further, they arrived at a new lake. This lake was completely different from the previous one. It was seven-colored and emitted a familiar fruity aroma.

"Karin-san, could that be..." Now even Konomi couldn’t sit still and asked in shock.

"Yes, exactly what you think. It’s all Rainbow Juice. Of course, Takeru-sama gave this as a reward to Kurenai-chan." Seeing their shocked expressions, Karin said seriously.

"Kurenai-chan?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"It looks like something is swimming in there." Soon, Konomi, with her enhanced vision, noticed Kurenai swimming in the Rainbow Juice lake.

"Eh, it’s Karin, Miki, and you all. Want to come swim too? The Rainbow Juice pool is amazing!" Kurenai, swimming happily, noticed Karin, Miki, and the others arriving and greeted them.

"No, Kurenai-chan. Takeru-sama asked us to show them around." Hearing her words, Miki gently shook her head, refusing.

"Is that so? Takeru-nii is out? By the way, who are they? I haven’t seen them before." Then, Kurenai looked curiously at Kazuho and the others. She had been soaking here since morning, so she didn’t know Takeru had finished his training.

"Fairies?" Seeing Kurenai’s delicate, small form, Natsumi and the others’ eyes lit up. They clearly adored fairies from fantasy.

"Yes, I’m Kurenai, the greatest fairy in this world." Seeing their curiosity about her, Kurenai became interested, put her hands on her hips, and spoke proudly.

"Amazing, she can talk. Can I hug you?" Then, Hotaru looked at Kurenai expectantly.

"If you’re willing to become my loyal servant, then allowing you to touch my noble self is not impossible." Hearing Hotaru’s words, Kurenai examined her and spoke.

"I do!" Hearing her words, Hotaru nodded eagerly. Kurenai then landed in her hand, and Hotaru showed a happy expression. Hikage and the others also looked envious.

"By the way, since you’ve become my loyal servant, this is for you." Seeing Hotaru’s delight, Kurenai waved her hand towards the Rainbow Juice lake. A blob of Rainbow Juice was drawn by a special force, floating before Hotaru.

"This is for me?" Seeing the Rainbow Juice floating in the air, Hotaru asked curiously.

"Of course, a reward for you." Hearing this, Kurenai nodded proudly.

"Thank you, Kurenai-sama." Hearing her words, Hotaru spoke reverently, then drank the floating Rainbow Juice.

As the familiar flavor entered her mouth, she fully understood: the juice in this entire lake was no different from what they had drunk before.

Thinking of Takeru’s generosity, she was a bit shocked and unconsciously envied the people living here, ’Life here must be very wonderful.’

The others, seeing Hotaru gain Kurenai’s favor, also looked envious and gathered around her.

Karin and Miki, seeing Kurenai so popular, just smiled, not taking her slightly exaggerated words too seriously. They knew Kurenai was a bit Chuuni.

Then, after introductions, Kurenai learned they were Renge’s sisters and good friends. Their flattery towards her also made her more accepting of them.

As time passed, they stayed in the remodeled area for over two hours. Finally, somewhat reluctantly, they left and followed Karin and the others back to the castle.

"Takeru-nii, I missed you so much!" As soon as they returned, Kurenai, looking very longing, threw herself at Takeru. But Takeru precisely pinched her, looking disgusted.

"How long have you been soaking in the Rainbow Juice? You’re already pickled!" Looking at her, Takeru said bluntly.

"So mean! I only slept there for a day!" Hearing Takeru’s words, Kurenai said angrily.

"Go take a good bath and clean yourself up!" Hearing her words, Takeru rolled his eyes, ’So, while I was away, she had really let herself go.’

After a bit of play, Takeru had Emilia, Chelsea, and Mine start helping with dinner preparations. Learning that Ram, Rem, and the others were learning a new skill and that castle affairs were temporarily left to them, they were surprised but nodded understandingly.

Then, Takeru took out the large lunchbox. Only part of the lunch dishes had been eaten. There was plenty left.

After enjoying the meal again, everyone showed satisfied expressions. After dinner, when asked, they expressed a desire to stay a couple more days.

Seeing Renge’s delight, Takeru didn’t refuse.

But good times always pass quickly. Two days passed in a flash.

These two days, Takeru entrusted the task of entertaining Kazuho and the others to Miki, Karin, Chelsea, and the others.

As for Takeru, besides occasionally cooking, he trained Ram, Rem, and Tohru. He also continuously consolidated his own Food Honor, hoping to reach its highest level, Ultimate Gratitude, as soon as possible.

As for Ram and Rem, after training with Takeru, they deeply felt the difficulty of Food Honor. However, at least with Takeru’s guidance, they successfully began, able to maintain a heart of gratitude.

As for Tohru, she was completely at a loss. Making a fearless dragon feel gratitude for all things in the world was truly difficult. Even Takeru had no solution.

But Takeru knew that after she fully integrated into life here, Tohru’s mindset might completely change. At least for now, it was quite difficult.

So, after persisting for two days, Takeru gave up teaching Tohru and instead had her learn maid training with Miki and the others.

Today, Kazuho and the others needed to return. Takeru first prepared some gifts for them.

After they reluctantly said goodbye to Emilia, Miki, and the others, Takeru teleported them back to Kazuho’s doorstep.

"We’re home!" Returning home instantly, although they had experienced it before, they still found it magical.

"Takeru-san, thank you so much this time." After returning home, Kazuho bowed deeply to Takeru.

"You’re welcome, we’re friends. By the way, if you encounter any trouble later, just call me. If you can’t reach me, call Emilia or the others." Hearing her words, Takeru smiled and waved.
