Nurarihyon's tone was somewhat inexplicable.
After he returned home last night, his demonic power suddenly recovered a little for some reason.
You should know that he was once cursed by Hagoromo Gitsune and had his heart stolen!
Just by eating Aoba's tea jelly, some of her demonic power was restored.
If it were something else, the effect would definitely be even better!
Perhaps this is the special reason why that kid possesses such a powerful 'Nian'.
"Huh? Things that monsters can eat..."
Aoba was suddenly at a loss.
Didn't he eat the tea jelly last night?
Could it be that monsters have special recipes?
Like some kind of chicken demon that eats insects?
"Don't worry, we'll take care of the ingredients ourselves."
After saying that, he pointed slightly towards the door with his pipe.
"Ushiwakamaru, come in."
"Sorry for disturbing you."
The words fell.
A mature male voice came from outside the door.
As the wooden door was pushed open.
A somewhat burly figure appeared in front of Qingye.
Long black hair covering one eye.
A simple, plain black long coat.
And a face bearing the marks of time and hardship.
"Ushiwakamaru?"
"General!"
Ushioni nodded to Nurarihyon, then carried a furry thing in from outside.
then
Aoba's eyes widened as she looked at the thing that Niugui was dragging with one hand:
"Grandpa, this is... bear paw?!"
"Hahaha, of course! Yesterday's tea jelly wasn't very interesting. As a monster, I still need to eat meat!"
Nurarihyon was clearly very pleased with Aoba's expression.
That kid...
It's surprising to encounter something like this!
"While it's great that you brought your own ingredients, we can't process them at our shop right now..."
Qingye stepped forward and examined the bear paw closely, then looked somewhat troubled.
The fur was so thick that it was practically impossible to cut it off with his cleaver; the only way to remove it was to burn it off with a large fire.
However... a bear paw that big is practically sentient; it's questionable whether ordinary fire could even burn off its fur.
"Can't it be handled?"
"Hmm, there's too much fur, I probably can't burn it off..."
Aoba hadn't finished speaking.
next second.
Nurarihyon took a deep drag on his pipe, and the white smoke rings rising from the pipe gradually enveloped the bear paw.
Then, it instantly transformed into a dark purple, transparent flame that burned fiercely!
A few seconds later.
The distinct black hairs on the bear's paw were instantly burned away.
The entire bear paw became incredibly smooth.
Is this okay?
Nurarihyon looked at Aoba with a smug expression.
This is one of Nurarihyon's signature skills.
"That's possible, but since you're already so capable, why not help them to the end..."
Aoba smiled helplessly.
"It's so big, my pot can't hold it all. Could you please cut it into smaller pieces for me?"
"Easy to say."
Grandpa Nurarihyon looked at Ushiwakamaru beside him.
The latter immediately understood.
Qingye didn't even draw his sword; several flashes of light passed by in the blink of an eye.
The enormous bear paw was then cut into small pieces that were almost identical in size.
"What a convenient ability..."
Aoba sighed.
Take out a large basin from the kitchen to hold water and pack the bear paws in it.
"Sir, my pot might not be big enough to cook everything later. Please take the rest back with this gentleman."
"It's not that complicated. Consider the rest as a token of appreciation for your hard work."
Nurarihyon was very generous today.
"Of course, it has to taste delicious!"
"Otherwise, I won't pay later."
Chapter 40 Special Ingredients! A Mysterious Purification Skill!!
"No problem, but the bear paw might take a little time..."
"Before that, would you like to try some of my newly made snacks?"
Qingye smiled and immediately said that there was absolutely no problem.
But they shouldn't forget to promote their own braised food.
He made so much food, and although he ate half of it himself, more than half of it is still left uneaten.
This is completely different from what he thought!
It's all because his guests have such small appetites!
"Is there any?"
"Then... two servings, please."
Nurarihyon glanced sideways at Ushioni.
The latter nodded slightly to him and then sat down directly behind him.
"OK, just a second."
Aoba nodded to Nurarihyon and Ushioni, then headed towards the kitchen.
They didn't seem to care much about the two's monster identities.
He actually prefers guests like the two of them.
Can eat!
Back in the kitchen.
I quickly prepared two platters of braised dishes, giving each item three times the portion size of the other customers!
Then, using both hands, he presented it to Nurarihyon and Ushioni.
As a monster.
They are instinctively very sensitive to smells.
This is especially true for braised dishes, which are snacks that I've never seen before.
"It has the flavor of special spices and Chinese herbs."
Niu Gui looked at the reddish-brown braised food in front of him, and could smell more than a dozen kinds of spices and herbs just by the aroma.
If he could also cook, he'd probably earn the title of "God's Nose".
"Hmm, this kid's cooking skills are indeed very good!"
Nurarihyon put down his pipe and looked at the dishes on the table with great seriousness.
Although he couldn't analyze the types of spices like Niugui, he didn't have a particularly deep understanding of cooking.
But the reason he came here specifically today
I just want to find out whether this kid's cooking actually increases the demonic power of monsters!
To this end, they even specially invited a demon to verify it.
He's the most intelligent yokai in the Nura Clan.
Its predecessor was human, and it even had the title of 'prodigy'.
It's much smarter than other monsters.
