The evening salon, a lively time when friends gather after they return home.

'With Lyota!　Emily's!　Combined Cookin'!

　Alice makes it grand, like she's going to show off something.

　I point my muzzle at the soup that Emily has prepared for me after we discussed it beforehand, and I pull the trigger.

　The next moment, the entire bowl of soup goes up in flames.

''Oh, it's a strange flame.''

　It was Celeste who instantly noticed the change.
　She was the family's best at flame magic, and for that matter, she was quite an expert among all adventurers, and she noticed it immediately.

　Cold flames.

　She noticed as soon as she saw it that the flame was just a little higher than human skin.

''Touch it.''
Yes. ...... You're warm.

　Perhaps because she knew, Celeste touched the flaming bowl without any hesitation at all.

'Flaming soup, isn't that kind of cool?'
Is it cool?
Soup is nice, but wouldn't a drink be better for that?

　It was Aulum who pointed it out.
　Horns sprouting from her head in a jet black dress.
　The princess of the demon tribe, a spirit with an appearance that looks like a princess of the demon tribe, here and there, a smile of old age appeared on her childish face.

''It's definitely more windy to moonlight with burning liquor.
Oh, my goodness. Emily, can I get a lukewarm drink?
Yes, sir.

　Ena tuned in to Aulum and Emily ran to the kitchen with a pat on the back.
　In almost no time at all, Emily returned with a tray of lukewarm sake cups and a choko set.

'Yoda-san,'
Yeah.

　I re-pack the flaming and freezing bullets and hit the cold flame on the chopper.
　Emily pours the liquor into it and Aulum and Ena get it and sip it.

　Aurum in a dress and Ena with a rich adult s*x appeal.

'You two are giving off an overwhelming sense of strength.
I told you that.
It's a good one, and I like it a lot, and I like it a lot.

　They drank the burning liquor with satisfaction.
　Some dishes dare to use a high alcohol content and see perfection by setting it on fire and letting the alcohol content go, but it seems to have a different kind of goodness to it.

　Aurum and Ena are enjoying the mature taste while Celeste stares at my hand and the gun in her hand.

'You just loaded two bullets, didn't you?
Yeah.
It's not like fusion bullets?
No, you're not.
Is there anything else you can put together?
'I've tried a whole bunch of them, but this was the most fun.

　I said, taking out two accelerated rounds and loading them into the vanadium bullets and pointing the muzzle at Celeste.

'You're going to shoot at me, aren't you?'
Yeah. I've got about ten seconds.
...... I get it.

　I tilted my head slightly, but Celeste quickly nodded her head.
　She correctly received my silent message that she would understand if she did it.

　I pulled the trigger toward Celeste.
　The moment it hit, Celeste disappeared.

''What?　What, now?
Mr. Celeste is gone, sir.

　Surprised, Alice and Emily.
　Immediately after, Celeste opens the door and comes back into the salon from the hallway.

'What?　Were you out in the hallway?
What's going on here?
Celeste already knows that, doesn't she?
...... Are you sure about that?

　Celeste has a look on her face that says she still can't believe what she's actually experienced.

'I was ready for some kind of prank, though.
You couldn't do anything in ten seconds. It was too fast.
So that's it.
Hey, hey, what's going on?

　Alice asked for an answer. Emily looked straight at me, too.

'Time stoppage, I suppose. The doubling of accelerated bullets - or maybe it's self-squared. The resulting time halt.
Yeah!
Oh, you can do that?
I was surprised when I did it the first time, too. But, well, they say that 90% of time stopping porn is imposters, so I guess time stopping isn't that surprising.
Yes. ......
Mr. Yoda just keeps getting better and better.

　I chuckled, a little sad.
　I kind of blurted it out, but I couldn't get through to the original world stuff at all, and I was starting to feel embarrassed about it.

'Hey, hey, Ryota. Again, give me that one more time.
Okay.

　Wondering why I was so excited, I loaded another two accelerated rounds, this time at Alice.

'Huh?'
Awwww.
You're a quick learner.

　Celeste raising her voice and me smiling.
　Celeste is turned around and the tray Emily was holding is placed on top of her head.
　The gun I had been holding in my right hand was being held in my left.

　Time stopping prank, for ten seconds, Alice seemed to be enjoying herself to the fullest.

'Awesome, this is awesome, Lyota,'
You're a quick learner.
Hmmm, I don't think about Lyota every day.
"What?

　Surprised, Celeste. Clattering and knocking over the chair, Elsa.
　They were both upset at the same time, and in a big way.

"Well, he thinks about it every day.
Maybe Alice, you can go to ...... too?
Too?

　Alice tilted her head slightly in response.

''Isn't it?''
What do you mean, you're thinking?
'It's Lyotha. In order to use Lyotha well, you have to think about her and know her properly, right?
'Oh, ah, ......'
So that's what happened: ......

　Celeste, and Elsa was relieved to see.

　But, yeah. Ryouchin.
　You're always thinking about me - how to fight, so you were able to take advantage of the time stoppage right away.

I have to say, I'm a lot stronger now. Thanks, Ryota.

　Alice laughs innocently and thanks me for my help.

'Tell Vanadium to thank me.
'I know!　Thanks Erieli. All right, mela mela tackle.

　Alice commanded Melamela to jostle with Vanadium, who was still clinging to me.

　I wasn't the only one. I was reminded once again that Alice was getting stronger too, and I was more and more happy to see that she was getting stronger too.
