The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life
Chapter 254: Dark Demon Sun Moon (2 in 1)

This was the second time the two have eaten together in the cafeteria, and the last time was when the [Fusion] card was crafted for the first time.

Dark still remembered the meaningful smiles of the halfling chefs at the time.

The cafeteria food at Saint Marian was actually very delicious, and the halfling chefs were no less skilled than the restaurant chefs at Traveller Street.

If there was one thing that was not good, it was that the daily menu was fixed, and students could only choose their favorite food from the limited menu.

Dark glanced at today's menu, and a thought popped into his head.

He made up his mind and didn't go join the queue. "Senpai, come with me."

Pandora curiously followed Dark to the entrance of the kitchen.

The halfling chefs were always gentle and reasonable.

Dark communicated with one of the chefs a little, and then he was granted access to a corner of the kitchen.

The status of chefs was actually not high in the kingdom, but this did not prevent nobles from engaging in cooking for various reasons.

But Pandora was surprised to see Dark's eagerness to try.

"Need help?" A halfling chef came over very kindly.

Dark thought about it, and didn't reject it.

Halfling chefs also had their own obligations and were responsible for the kitchen.

On the surface, it was to help, but in fact, it was to supervise.

To prevent students who wanted to try cooking on a whim from burning down the kitchen. Something like this had happened before after all.

Dark felt that since he had already borrowed the kitchen, he couldn't put them in a difficult position, so he agreed.

So with the assistance of a halfling chef, he quickly processed the corresponding ingredients and began to cook the ribs.

"Are you going to make pork rib soup?" the halfling chef asked curiously.

Dark shook his head and said with a smile; "No."

After the last meal in the cafeteria, he had a good understanding of Pandora-senpai's taste.

He knew that she liked meat, and sweet dishes, especially the salty and sweet flavored ones.

At that time, Dark wanted to show his cooking skills, but he never tried it.

He just happened to have the opportunity today to satisfy her taste and try to make sweet and sour pork ribs.

Among Chinese dishes with various salty and sweet flavors, the cooking requirements for sweet and sour pork ribs were actually relatively simple.

The requirements for food were not high.

As long as there were pork ribs, vinegar, sugar, and some other ingredients.

Almost anything Dark could think of could be found in the halfling chef's kitchen.

Dark first poured water into a pot and boiled it, then added the ribs to blanch, and added some ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the gamy smell.

Then he removed the ribs, rinsed off the foam, poured hot oil on the pan to fry them, and then added ginger and garlic.

He fried the ribs until their surface turned golden brown before taking them out of the pan.

Then he added the new oil and sugar to the pot, and cooked the sugar on low heat.

When the sugar melted, the color gradually darkened. He poured in the fried ribs and stir-fried them evenly at this time, so that a layer of sugar would be evenly spread on the ribs.

Finally, he added water to boil, and then simmered it slowly on low heat.

After adding various seasonings in between, he increased the heat to gather gravy.

Then a sweet and sour pork rib dish with a sweet and sour flavor was out!

Dark picked up a piece of rib and took a bite, the silky soft taste spread throughout his mouth quickly. The just right sweetness mixed with the salty and sour taste made the cells in his bone marrow tremble!

"Not bad!" He nodded with satisfaction.

Dark picked up another piece of boneless meat and handed it to Pandora-senpai: "Try it?"

The heat from the kitchen made Pandora's face turn a little red. She tucked her hair behind her ear, lowered her head slightly, and opened her lustrous lips and the snow-white teeth to bite Dark's meat.

The smell of sweetness and sourness that penetrated into the nasal cavity was already stimulating her taste buds. After actually tasting the meat, the accumulated anticipation instantly exploded!

"Wow!" Pandora couldn't help but speed up the chewing, the rosy flush on her face getting thicker and thicker.

It's so amazing!

Either him or meat.

...

Taking the ribs out with a few side dishes and bread, the two of them enjoyed the food in a corner of the cafeteria.

Dark ate the sweet and sour pork ribs that he hadn't tried for a long time, but felt a little regretful.

Without rice, the sweet and sour pork ribs seemed to lack a soul.

He couldn't help murmuring: "I don't know where I can get rice..."

Pandora: "Mhm?"

Dark raised his head, only to see Pandora-senpai's cheeks bulging, her lips full of oil, showing a rare expression, the feeling of regret in his heart disappeared in an instant.

He smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Maybe the rice grains of this world are waiting for me to discover somewhere.

If I can travel the world like Aunt Claire one day, maybe I'll be able to find it.

...

Pandora didn't have time to speak until a large plate of sweet and sour pork ribs was emptied.

She licked the corners of her lips reluctantly, and said regretfully, "No more left."

Dark: "I can make more next time."

Pandora: "Okay!"

Dark asked curiously, "Senpai, are you in any club?"

Pandora wiped the greasy corners of her mouth with a napkin, and said casually; "Yes, but it's just nominal. After all, I still have a library job. What? Are you thinking about joining a club?"

Dark: "I just wanted to ask."

Pandora looked at him and said, "I think I should be in the Literature Club."

Dark: "Literature Club?"

Pandora: "Look, the librarian and the Literature Club, don't they go well together?"

Dark: "Indeed."

Pandora: "Speaking of which, I have never participated in club activities in the past two years, and I don't know if they have removed me from the club member list."

After saying this, she showed a bright smile.

It seemed that she was still very satisfied with the Literature Club that had not disturbed her.

Her schedule was very tight.

The time for students to engage in club activities completely coincided with the working hours of the librarian.

When she chose a job as a librarian among the two options, naturally she needed to give up the club activities.

...

After chatting for a while, Dark roughly understood what she meant, and then gave up the idea of inviting her to his club in the future.

There was no need to forcibly change the rhythm of her life because of his own will.

The reason why he suddenly had such an idea was only that the academy had a requirement for the minimum number of people to start a club.

No matter what club it was, after approval, it must recruit at least five people within one month.

The original Fantastic Beasts Club maintained a minimum configuration of five people, until five people graduated at the same time, and then the club was naturally disbanded.

Dark wasn't in such a hurry.

This semester had just begun, and the establishment of the club was also a matter of the next academic year.

Including himself, there were already three candidates for the club.

Only two were missing, but there would be no problem finding those two when the club was established.

Maybe by next academic year, there would be no need to look for anyone anymore.

...

Happy times were always limited.

After eating, the two chatted for another ten minutes before saying goodbye to each other.

Pandora-senpai was actually very busy.

She arrived at the academy a week late and had a lot of schoolwork to deal with.

Whether it was yesterday or today, she took time out of her busy schedule to chat with Dark.

Fortunately, she not only chatted with Dark, but also tasted Dark's meat. So she was very satisfied.

...

After sending her to the library, Dark turned around and returned to the tower of Noble House.

He was also very busy.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. The stars and the moon were hanging high, and the ancient castle was covered with a layer of silver gray.

Suddenly, a hole opened in the empty night sky, and a witch riding a pumpkin carriage came through the entrance of the barrier. After wheeling around the castle, it stopped at the Dragon Training platform following the guidance of magic energy.

As the academy's vice-principal, Professor Silver had been waiting on the Dragon Training Platform for a long time.

Her pale blond hair was long and transparent, and the ends of her long hair seemed to blend into the dark night.

Her serious face which did not match her amazing beauty made her exude an air of coldness.

However, as the pumpkin carriage descended, her expression softened, and the cold air around her that had almost become visible quickly melted away.

A tall, slender woman dressed as a witch lifted the curtain from the carriage and walked out.

"Dear Medea, you're finally here." Professor Silver paused for a while, then went up to greet her.

Medea Bartholomew lifted her long legs tightly wrapped in purple stockings, and stepped from the carriage to the ground.

She was wearing a dark witch robe and a pointed witch hat, but the tight-fitting robe perfectly set off her mature figure.

Her gorgeous lashes and lilac eyeshadow added a touch of alluring charm.

The purple veil covered from the tip of the nose revealed a hazy beauty.

Although she was a witch, she was more like a graceful noble lady.

Medea landed on both feet, flicking her finger casually to send out a glowing star to light up the dim Dragon Training Platform.

"Sarah Silver, it's really been a long time." Medea smiled, holding the skirt of the witch's robe like a noble lady and walking gracefully towards Silver in a pair of crystal high heels.

The two were obviously old acquaintances.

But the relationship between them was probably not as harmonious as it seemed.

Professor Silver sighed: "I didn't expect you to agree to the principal's invitation. I thought that with your character, you would definitely refuse without hesitation."

Medea smiled: "It doesn't feel bad to restrain yourself sometimes. Besides, I heard that there are some amazing students this year."

Silver shook her head: "Just a bunch of children. How amazing can they be?"

A trace of the silver moon reflected in Medea's eyes, and her smile gradually became brighter: "Amazing people are born amazing, and their fate has already been determined."

Professor Silver said helplessly: "Quit your fatalism, this is a magic academy."

Medea: "But it didn't use to be."

Professor Silver didn't deny it.

Medea: "How about showing me around?"

Professor Silver was surprised: "At this time?"

The corners of Medea's mouth were raised, and she said lazily, "Witches travel at night, isn't that common sense?"

The corners of Professor Sylph's eyes twitched indistinctly. But she controlled her emotions: "Come with me."

...

"The starry sky is so beautiful tonight." Dark glanced at the night sky, then lowered his head and continued to squeeze [Pride] from the branches of the Worm Tree.

He had just drawn out today's [Pride], which was exactly 10 points in total.

What he was going to do next was to make [Pride Ⅲ].

To this day, Dark was already familiar with the production of [deadly sin] cards below Ⅲ.

The production of [deadly sin] cards based on the crafting method of emotional cards belonged to the relatively simple type.

Its probability of crafting failure was very low.

What really troubled him was the [deadly sin Ⅳ] series that followed.

No matter how he looked at the crafting method of the emotion card, it couldn't support the crafting of [deadly sin Ⅳ].

But thinking about that now wouldn't help him either.

He still needed more and more accumulation of knowledge to be able to capture that glimmer of inspiration.

...

Before starting the process, Dark drank a glass of apple juice to refresh himself, and used [Spiritual Concentration Art] to concentrate.

He finally managed to get rid of some rash thoughts and made himself more cautious.

In fact, he had no room for failure.

10 points [Pride] took him a full seven days to accumulate.

If it really failed, it would definitely affect his emotions.

As soon as his magical spirits saw him begin the experiment, they all fell silent.

Miltank brought the three cat grasses to the balcony to watch the stars, lest they would disturb their master at inopportune times.

Everything was ready.

Dark took a deep breath and started crafting [Pride Ⅲ].

After about an hour.

The hour hand of the wall clock turned from 7:30 to 8:30, and a dark golden magic card with a darker color than [Pride Ⅱ] finally took shape!

The strong aura emanating from this magic card showed no trace of coldness on the cold winter night.

With a little touch, the coolness of Dark's fingers was dissipated by a warm current.

The symbol of [Pride] was the sun, the light that illuminated the earth.

This [Pride Ⅲ] was obviously more sun-like than [Pride Ⅱ]!

"Yes, this is my aura!" Demidevimon suddenly jumped up.

It had been staring at the lab table for a long time.

Anyway, since it couldn't avoid every experiment, it might as well figure out what the experiment would be.

[Lust] would affect its flying speed, only [Pride] was the deadly sin worthy of it!

DemiDevimon felt very excited.

Finally!...

But Dark's eyes glanced over it, and then fell on little Eevee curled up in the round cushion.

[Lust Ⅲ · Moon] could make Eevee-chan evolve into Umbreon.

[Lust Ⅲ] could make Eevee-chan evolve into Sylveon.

So what about this [Pride Ⅲ]?

"Could it be Espeon?"

Dark was somewhat confident in his prediction.

But without experimentation, it was always uncertain.

He beckoned to Eevee-chan, and little Eevee, who had been staring at him all the time, immediately stood up!

The books say "practice makes perfect".

Does it mean that if I evolve more times, I can learn to evolve myself?

Since [Lust Ⅲ] can make me evolve, the new card in master's hand should also be able to, right?
