Chapter 68 Chimera Meat! It's better than Kobe Beef! (2)
TSSSSS
Having removed the meat while allowing the thin stone bowl to heat up, Aoni placed his butterflied cut onto the searing hot stone, and a loud hissing sound emanated from it, followed by the fragrant scent of cooking meat.
*Starrrrrreeee*
Feeling a strange presence beside him, Aoni noticed that Glacia had stood up on his shoulder and was watching the meat cook with such intensity that he believed if it suddenly vanished, she would never emotionally recover.
"Uh...Glacia...watching it won't make the meat cook any faster..." Rapidly flicking his eyes toward the ball of fluff, then away and back again, Aoni was becoming uneasy. It almost seemed like she was frozen in time, not breathing, only....staring.
*STTTTAAARRREEEE*
"O..kay..." carefully reaching down and retrieving his knife, the lad wiped it on some fresh snow and plunged it into the meat once to flip it over; however, the instant he did, like a hungry cat, Glacia leaned forward, ready to pounce at a moments notice.
But who could blame her? It was the first time she had seen meat cooked over an open fire; up until now, every meal had been prepared inside a bag, so of course, she wouldn't have any clue about what went into such a thing.
Still, as he flipped over the tenderloin and inspected the searing, Aoni had to admit that it did smell really tasty, and although he knew his summon could eat it raw just fine, the lad wanted to treat her to a special meal after a hard day's hunt.
"Sprinkle some salt, splash some more golden blood, annnnd FLIP," Carefully monitoring the progression of his cooking, Aoni figured it was better to ignore Glacia and continue preparing the meal, especially since he understood there was ZERO chance of getting his hands on this first cut.
"I know you're hungry, but let me cut it into smaller pieces for you first, then you can have it." Chiding his impatient baby yeti, like a parent would their child, Aoni slipped a finger under her claws and gently forced them up so they wouldn't tear his jacket, followed by expertly dicing up the slab of cooked tenderloin into manageable bite sizes for Glacia.
"OoO." Of course, after tasting what she did earlier, how could the little ball of fluff be patient? I mean, THIS WAS GLORIOUS, FRESH COOKED MEAT!
"Two minutes, that's it." Stopping his dicing, Aoni looked at Glacia on his shoulder, held up two fingers, and chided, causing the baby yeti to look down sadly.
"...gao...." Although she said that with a partial whimper, she understood the meaning behind two minutes, as Aoni frequently used it as a measurement of time.
As expected, before the full two minutes had expired, Aoni placed his knife down and began scooping the even-sized portions of meat onto a wooden plate before scooting it to the side and saying.
"It's all yours."
Without hesitation or waiting for Aoni to have a chance to take back his words, Glacia dove off his shoulders and was soon face-first into the plate, sloppily munching away, completely unaware of the sleight of hand used by her lord to swipe a piece for himself.
'Just a taste, she didn't even notice, eh...why do I feel like a villain or something...' Blinking twice, he shrugged his shoulders and tossed the squared piece of meat into his mouth.
An explosion of Flavor was the first thing that came to Aoni's mind the instant the golden tenderloin touched his tongue.
"Holy shit....this is a million times better than that Kobe Beef Dad bought to celebrate my birthday..."
