Chapter 22: Today’s Surprise Is Me
The first cup of milk tea.
Naya naturally wanted Iris to enjoy it thoroughly. Her plan was set for tonight.
As that crimson figure walked in with the setting sun, Naya joyfully rushed forward and hugged Iris tightly.
“Iris, you’re back!”
“Mmm.”
Iris raised her hand and wrapped it around Naya’s waist. Looking down, she saw Naya’s silver dragon tail wagging happily. Naya was genuinely delighted by Iris’s return.
“How was the milk tea I made?”
“If vinegar scores a 1, your milk tea scores 100.”
“Hehe… As long as you like it, Iris. From now on, I won’t make anything you dislike again. I made sure you’d like it before asking Bella to deliver it. After making it, I had Illya try it first. It’s just a pity I didn’t get to see your expression when you first drank it.”
“It was full of amazement and delight like never before. Next time you make something new, how about I record my reaction with a magic crystal?”
Naya pushed Iris away, looking surprised.
“Eh? There’s such a thing?”
“Of course there is.”
Iris stroked Naya’s face. “I have a lot of treasures, many of them taken from heroes.
After tinkering with them a bit, I figured out how to use them.”
“So that’s how it is!”
Wait, does that mean my equipment got stripped by you too?! Thankfully, the Holy Spear was soul-bound and was already physically destroyed by Iris at the time.
Never mind.
Naya grabbed Iris’s right hand and swayed it slightly like a little girl.
“But it’s fine. I’ll get to see it soon anyway. Milk tea is best when chilled. I’ve been freezing the ingredients and tea all afternoon. Let’s eat first, and afterward, I’ll make us some milk tea. By then, it’ll have an entirely different taste.”
Holding Iris’s hand, Naya led her to the dining table.
Illya eagerly picked up her chopsticks.
“Eat, eat! Finally, I can eat.”
I can’t stand watching Mama and Mother being all lovey-dovey every day.”
But then, she remembered how clingy she was with her Mama and figured she wasn’t any better herself.
During the meal, Iris sniffed and caught a scent, more intense than usual, coming from Illya. Had she just bathed?
From the strength of the scent, it seemed no more than thirty minutes ago.
Illya always applied perfume powder after taking a bath.
Her especially smooth and supple skin indicated she had recently bathed in the holy milk spring.
Why did Naya bathe Illya so early today?
Puzzled, Iris finished her dinner. Naya stood up.
“Wait here, I’ll go prepare the milk tea now.”
In the kitchen, there was a large tub-like container filled with ice. Inside were jars of milk tea and ingredients. Earlier, she had rushed to make a milkshake-Like milk tea for Iris. This time, she would try serving it cold without ice.
Personally, Naya preferred her milk tea without ice—Purer and tastier that way.
She opened the iron cans in the tub-like container, poured out three cups of milk tea, and added pineapple, coconut, and mango toppings to them.
Then, she pulled a small bottle of purple potion from her cleavage. Taking a deep breath, she opened it and poured it into one of the cups.
According to the system, the potion was tasteless, effective in small amounts, and didn’t change the color much when mixed with black tea.
Would this really work?
Naya poked her head out of the kitchen. Bella was cleaning up the dining table.
“Bella! Come here.”
Bella glanced at Iris before setting down the dishes and walking to the kitchen.
“Help me crush some ice.”
“Got it.”
Bella grabbed some ice cubes from the tub-like container, placed them in an empty tin, and picked up a pestle.
“Tap-tap-tap!”
In just a blink of an eye, Bella had crushed the ice into a fine slush. To say that it was so fast that you could see afterimages would be an insult to Bella’s hand speed.
Naya barely saw her move before half the tin was filled with ice slush.
“Thanks.”
Naya smiled as she took the tin from Bella.
Combat maids were so convenient! Their battle skills made cooking efficiency skyrocket.
Since Illya had already drink iced milk tea that afternoon, it didn’t matter if she added some ice slush tonight. She scooped a few spoonfuls of ice slush into Illya’s milk tea and handed it to Bella.
“Take this to Illya. Then, ask Iris to come in.”
To avoid any mishaps in front of Illya, Naya planned to carry out her secret plan in the kitchen, out of their daughter’s sight.
“Understood.”
Bella took the milk tea and left the kitchen. Soon after, Iris walked in. Naya greeted her with a sweet smile, causing Iris to grin as well.
“What’s with all the secrecy?”
“Here, try this.”
Naya handed the paler cup of milk tea to Iris.
“Hmm?”
“You must be too shy to show that ‘Wow’ expression in front of others, right? Here, it’s just us. Let me see that look of pure happiness, okay?”
Iris considered for a few seconds before nodding. Under Naya’s eager gaze, she took a sip of the milk tea, fully relaxed her expression, and revealed a face of sheer bliss—Like she had reached a euphoric peak.
If this were a food show, her clothes would have burst off from the reaction.
Wonderful! So, this is Iris’s true reaction to drinking her milk tea.
Naya felt completely fulfilled, grabbed the last cup of milk tea, and gulped it down.
“Ahhh, so refreshing!”
[Host, what are you doing?!]
The system had expected Naya to feed Iris the drugged tea through a kiss, but instead, Naya had downed it herself.
[System, I wanted to test it first to make sure it wasn’t poisonous. I couldn’t just let Iris drink it without being certain.]
[Host, don’t you trust me?]
[Considering you’re always shouting about killing Iris, how could I let her drink something you made so easily?]
[Host…]
The drug’s effects were quick and intense—A potent aphrodisiac.
Concerned that Iris might be resistant to magic potions, the system had maximized its potency, ensuring even a minor effect would guarantee victory.
But now, the foolish host had ingested it herself!
Naya’s rationality crumbled in an instant. Turns out, the potion was real.
The system hadn’t lied. It wasn’t poisonous, but her body felt incredibly hot, and she wanted to take off her clothes.
Not long after drinking the milk tea, Naya began to feel dizzy. Before completely losing control, she grabbed Iris’s milk tea, took a big gulp, and swished it around in her mouth to rid herself of any remaining potion.
If she kissed Iris later with traces of the potion still in her mouth, it could cause trouble.
[System, I guess I just can’t bring myself to use Iris’s trust in me to drug her.]
Swallowing the milk tea, Naya’s body became limp, collapsing like a crumbling tower.
“Naya!”
Seeing this, Iris rushed to catch her.
“Iris, I’m so hot…”
Naya felt her beloved’s presence close, burying her face in Iris’s chest and inhaling her scent like a drunkard. Now, she was deeply immersed in a dreamy haze.
“Iris… I… I want… I need you…”
Garbled words slipped from Naya’s lips as she surrendered entirely to her instincts.
Yet, she knew the person beside her was Iris, which made her surrender both willing and strangely comforting.
The wizard Of SILVER
You’re screwed, Naya! It’s unsalvageable!
