I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"By the way, Thor, Kanna, the meat in this curry is made from fire dragon meat. Is it okay for you to eat dragon meat?"

Hearing Kobayashi's words, Thor, with a reassuring smile, said to Kobayashi:

"Don't worry about Kobayashi! To us dragons, creatures like wyverns are just other creatures, like humans and monkeys."

Then Thor waved his hand and said:

"Besides, those fire dragons in Monster Hunter World are even worse than monkeys; after all, they're creatures lacking intelligence and reason."

Hearing Thor's words, Kobayashi breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Really? That's great. To be honest, I was a little worried that you wouldn't eat this dragon curry rice when it was served."

Thor looked at Kobayashi with a strange expression and then said to her:

"Hmm, Kobayashi, that's strange. Isn't cannibalism quite normal? After all, aren't there human tribes like cannibals?"

Hearing this, Kobayashi wanted to say something, but since Thor was a dragon, he might not know those things, so he gave up on telling Thor those things. After all, Thor was an exception who ate his own tail.

"Curry rice, so delicious~"

Sitting opposite Tohru and Kobayashi, Kanna scooped up some dragon curry rice with a spoon and said this. Yuhaka, standing nearby, took a tissue and wiped the curry from the corner of Kanna's mouth, saying:

"Your mouth is dirty."

"Hmm..."

Watching the loving interaction between Yuhaka and Kanna, Kobayashi, who was eating dragon curry rice, smiled and said:

"Kanna and Yuyu have a really good relationship, just like two sisters."

Hearing Kobayashi's words, Thor, who was standing to the side, looked at Yuhaka wiping Kanna's mouth and asked in confusion:

"Really? I think they look more like a mother and daughter."

Huh? Mother and daughter?

When Kobayashi heard Tohru's words, she looked at Yuhaka and Kanna, who were eating nearby, and had a completely bewildered expression. How could two little girls, both under 140cm tall, look like mother and daughter?

Then, suddenly remembering something, Kobayashi pointed to the two pointed horns on Yuhaka's head and said:

"By the way, Youyou, what's that on your head... a horn, right?"

Hearing Xiaolin's question, Yuhaka tilted his head, reached out and touched the pointed horn on his head, and said in surprise:

"Ah, it's grown horns."

"You're only realizing it now?!"

In response to Xiaolin's complaints, Yuhaka touched his pointed head and tilted it, saying:

"Hmm, I don't know."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's answer, Kobayashi didn't know what to say. By the way, when do dragons of Yuhaka's race grow horns?

Ding bell~

The sound of a bell ringing from the front door of the Merlin Cat Restaurant, indicating that customers had arrived, startled Kobayashi and her friends. Kobayashi knew very well that when they arrived, Yuhaka had put up a sign outside indicating that the restaurant was closed. The fact that customers had arrived again puzzled Kobayashi and her friends.

However, when this guest appeared in Kobayashi's and Tohru's field of vision, Kobayashi and Tohru almost spat out their curry rice, while Kanna and Yuhaka looked at the unexpected guest with puzzled expressions.

In their sight, there was a girl with long, jet-black hair that almost dragged on the floor, skin as white as snow, eyes as bright as the moon, long, pointed ears like an elf, jet-black horns like the symbol of a dragon, and a jet-black tail swaying in the air.

But most importantly—the girl in front of them wasn't wearing any clothes, which meant... the black-haired girl was completely naked!

"Waaaaah! Kobayashi, you're not allowed to look!"

Thor, reacting first, quickly covered Kobayashi's eyes to prevent her from seeing the black-haired girl's naked body in front of them. Kobayashi, flustered by Thor suddenly covering her eyes, said:

"Thor! What are you doing!?"

Kanna showed an expression of astonishment, while Ehaka didn't react much, since Ehaka was already used to it in the first and second forms.

The system panel next to Yuhaka was making clicking sounds like a camera shutter, which came from Zelus taking pictures of the black-haired girl in front of her.

"Hehehe~ You're here as expected, Little Blackie~"

After hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka tilted his head in confusion. Although he didn't know what was going on, Yuhaka felt that Zelus seemed a little excited, like a peach-haired beast that wanted to mate.

"Who are you calling a fluffy beast that looks like it wants to mate? You little idiot!"

“OwO you (pointing)”

"Gurgle!"

...................

After a flurry of activity, the black-haired girl in front of Kobayashi and the others finally managed to dress herself with magic. However, although she was dressed, well...

Thor looked at the dark-haired girl in front of him, who was wearing a dark-toned maid outfit, and said loudly:

"Isn't this attribute the same as mine?!"

Meanwhile, Kobayashi, standing next to Thor, stroked her chin and looked at the black-haired girl in her maid outfit with a "not bad" expression. After hearing Thor's words, Kobayashi nodded as if she suddenly understood. Now that Thor had both dragon girl and maid outfit attributes, the black-haired girl did indeed have some similar attributes.

The black-haired girl looked puzzled when she heard Kobayashi and Tohru's words. After all, she couldn't understand what Kobayashi and Tohru were talking about. What she was more concerned about was... the dragon curry rice that Yuhaka had made on the table.

Chapter 187 [Black: Huh?! Where's the door back?]

"Um, could I have one of these?"

A black-haired girl dressed as a maid pointed at the dragon curry rice on the table and said this in Kobayashi's mind using magic. Kobayashi was surprised by the black-haired girl's way of speaking, while Tohru, Kanna, and Yuhaka didn't seem to be too bothered. In Tohru's world, it was also possible to transmit words to other people's minds through magic. Yuhaka, on the other hand, was already used to Zelus talking in his mind from time to time.

Hearing the black-haired girl's words, Yuhaka nodded and said:

"Hmm, no problem."

As he spoke, Yuhaka ran into the kitchen and made a plate of dragon curry rice for the black-haired girl to try. Since the dragon curry rice was an experimental dish that Yuhaka made for practice, Yuhaka did not charge the black-haired girl.

.......................

"Ah wu..."

After the black-haired girl who called herself "Black" scooped a spoonful of rice and curry from the dragon curry rice and put it in her mouth, Black felt a rich aroma spreading in her mouth.

【tasty! 】

The first time the act of "eating" stimulated Hei's taste buds and curiosity, he had never eaten meat that had been roasted over a fire and softened like this before.

This dish, called "Dragon Curry Rice," appears to be made by adding meat, herbs, and their seeds to a large amount of water and then heating it over a fire.

Hei seemed to remember seeing some intelligent beings doing something similar when he was still on the ground. At first, Hei thought that those intelligent beings couldn't draw magic from their surroundings, so they used such a troublesome and laborious method to draw magic from high places.

Now, Hei finally understands why those intelligent beings do this instead of eating them directly. The meat, which becomes soft and tender after being roasted over a fire, and the flowers and fruits that blend with the broth, are absolutely not as delicious as they would be if they were eaten while they were still forming.

This delicious taste reminded Black of one of his brethren, Red, who could draw magic from his surroundings and even "eat," and who was also the most warlike of the six pillars, possessing the strongest fire power.

It has been almost 34684 years since I last saw her. I wonder how she is doing now.

Thinking this, Hei put the spoon in his hand into his mouth. The spicy flavor spread across his taste buds, making Hei squint his eyes and mentally utter the sound of "Delicious."

Meanwhile, Kobayashi and Tohru stared dumbfounded at Kuro, who was eating curry rice with his eyes half-closed. Kobayashi whispered in Tohru's ear:

"Thor, by the way, isn't this child the dragon you know?"

Hearing Kobayashi's question, Thor shook his head with a puzzled expression and said:

"No, I have never seen this dragon before, but... that dragon possesses power greater than mine and even greater than my father."

"Huh?! No way, he's even stronger than Thor's father?!"

Kobayashi looked at the guy in black who was clearly enjoying himself and thought it didn't seem like it at all!

[One more, please!]

Black put down the spoon in his hand and raised his hand to Yuhaka like a student asking a question in class, asking Yuhaka for dragon curry rice. Yuhaka naturally served Black another plate of dragon curry rice. After all, Yuhaka made a new curry rice and needed someone to taste it, so he naturally wouldn't refuse Black's request.

Meanwhile, Zelus, inside the Yuhaka system space, was thinking about how to get Black to work at Yuhaka's Meru Cat Restaurant. After all, Black was one of the six strongest individuals in the world of "Otherworld Restaurant," and if she could get her to work at Yuhaka's Meru Cat Restaurant, she wouldn't have to worry about Yuhaka and the others' safety. (Although, well, Yuhaka doesn't need to worry about that anyway.)

Although Kuro looks like a pet girl, she is at least much smarter than Mashiro, and her strength is also quite formidable.

Just as Zelus was pondering how to lure Black to the Meru Cat Restaurant within the system space, Kobayashi, who was sitting with Yuhaka and the others, looked at Black and asked her:

"That... Miss Hei?"

Hearing Kobayashi's words, Kuro looked up from her dragon curry rice, her mouth still covered in curry, and stared at Kobayashi with a puzzled expression, as if asking if something was wrong. Kobayashi looked at Kuro and said to her:

"Miss Black, are you from the same world as Thor and the others?"

Upon hearing this question, Kuro glanced at Tohru beside Kobayashi, then shook his head and said using magic:

[We're not from the same world; the types of magic are different.]

"Ah, is Miss Black a dragon from another world?"

Thor looked at Black with a surprised expression and said this. Black thought for a moment, then nodded and said using magic:

【Um. 】

Upon hearing Black's words, Thor was also quite surprised and said:

"Hey... a dragon from another world? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing."

Kobayashi, standing to the side, looked at the surprised Thor with some confusion and said:

"What's wrong? Are dragons from another world rare?"

Thor shook his finger and explained to Kobayashi what he meant:

"It's different. Although there are various separate worlds in our world, this can only be considered a part of our world. The magic consumed by the magic in Miss Black's world is completely different from the mana in our world."

After hearing Thor's words, Kobayashi was a little confused. She didn't understand any of the things like magic or mana. To be honest, Kobayashi didn't really understand either. Wasn't the final conclusion that they were all dragons from another world?

Well... if Thor mentions the parallel world theory, then Kobayashi can roughly understand what Thor is talking about.

................

After Black finished eating the dragon curry rice at Yuhaka Meru Cat Restaurant, she thanked Yuhaka. After all, Yuhaka had treated her to a free meal, and even Black knew that she had to pay for the meal. She must have spent a lot of money to pay for all that food.

Of course, this doesn't mean that criminals have no money. If they wanted to make money, it would be very easy for them.

However, when Hei left, she encountered a big problem: she couldn't go back.

Looking at the darkness of the main road and buildings outside the door, that's what I thought.

Chapter 188 [Youyou's Dragon Maid]

"There's no going back?!"
