I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Back in the sea, Yuhaka let out a whale-like cry, calling for Yuki and the others to come over. He also mentioned that the creatures weren't very tasty. Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Yuki and the others abandoned the aquatic beast corpses. After they left, the scavenging creatures lurking nearby came out and began tearing at the aquatic beast carcasses.

On Yuhaka's side, Yuhaka and her group were on a ruin on the sea. Yuhaka took out her tablet and showed Yuki and the others a photo of the food.

"We need to catch this, and this too! All this seafood is delicious~ OwO~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Yuki and Yurin's mouths watered, while Titi, standing to the side, had an OvO expression on her face. What Yuhaka showed Yuki and the others were pictures of seafood ingredients that Yuhaka had taken. Whenever Yuhaka saw new ingredients, she would try them out, and if she thought they were good, she would take a picture to record them so that the Cat Adventure Team could search for them later.

After showing the little ones the ingredients they needed to collect, Yuhaka led Yuki and the others back to the sea to gather more ingredients. This time, Yuhaka had the little ones collect seafood, which was very easy to obtain.

For example, there are seafood like oysters, spiky sea urchins, and large clams that don't have much mobility. Of course, Yuhaka also leaves some fish, slugs, and squid that are relatively difficult to catch. These things like to hide in coral reefs and are a bit hard to catch, but they can still be caught if you use your imaginary ability. Of course, turning your hands into tentacles is also no problem.

While Yuki and the others were gathering ingredients, Yuhaka was also gathering ingredients. At the same time, he noticed that there were no other ingredients available. Perhaps because of the previous battle, Yuhaka felt that the fish around him had been scared away, and there were hardly any left. Yuhaka wasn't very interested in the remaining small fish and shrimp, since those fish, which were no bigger than Yuhaka's palm, were of no use to him.

"OwO?"

It was at this moment that Yuhaka suddenly noticed something moving around the corpses of the aquatic beasts that had fallen to the bottom of the sea. After swimming over, Yuhaka saw that there were many creatures eating the aquatic beast corpses.

The creatures didn't leave after noticing Yuhaka's arrival, as if they didn't care about him. Of course, some of the more cautious and timid creatures ran away in fright when they saw Yuhaka coming.

After Yuhaka looked at the creatures with curiosity, he saw something unusual, a... stone that looked like it could move.

Seeing this, Yhaka curiously picked up one of the moving stones. Yhaka then discovered that it was not a stone at all, but a giant crab. The crab that Yhaka had picked up was waving its large pincers in a panic. However, because Yhaka was holding onto the crab's shell, the giant crab could not catch Yhaka.

Yuhaka used his sensory organs to detect that the large crab was covered in a mixture of rocks and sand. Because of the seaweed and other aquatic plants growing on the material, Yuhaka mistook it for rocks. Although Yuhaka could sense life, he mistakenly thought it was some kind of creature hiding under the rocks and didn't pay much attention.

However, now that Yuhaka has seen it, he also plans to go back and try it. Yuhaka threw the unidentified stone crab, which was larger than his own body, into the dimensional cave. After that, Yuhaka also threw the other stone crabs into the dimensional cave. What awaits them is Yuhaka's food research.

After Yuhaka collected the ingredients, he once again called out to Yuki and the others with a whale-like cry. Upon hearing Yuhaka's call, Yuki and the others swam to Yuhaka's side at a very fast speed, and then Yuhaka led them back to the beach.

Chapter 999 [The Darkest Day for the Stone Crab Clan]

On the beach, besides Yuhaka and her group, there were also a few uninvited guests, such as the Shield Crab and the Peach Fur Beast. The former joined Yuhaka and her group's luxurious beach seafood barbecue meal, while the latter was blasted away by Bronya's heavy cannon.

At Yuhaka's place, Yuhaka took out the stone crab he had caught earlier and carefully examined it, considering how best to handle it. Ji Lin, who was cooking nearby, looked at the stone-like crab in Yuhaka's hand with curiosity and said:

"Master Youyou, what is that? I've never seen it before."

In response to Ji Lin's question, Yuhaka raised the stone crab in his hand high and said to Ji Lin:

"Big crab! OwO/!"

"Crab?"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Ji Lin also carefully looked at the stone crab in Yuhaka's hand. Through her observation, she also discovered that the stone-like creature actually resembled a crab, with very obvious fist-like pincers on its forelimbs. At first, Ji Lin thought it was a stone, but now it seems that it is also a seafood.

Looking at the stone crab in Yuhaka's hand, Ji Lin roughly knew why Yuhaka hadn't discovered it yet. Now that Yuhaka had seen it, it was basically going to be added to Yuhaka's menu and Yuhaka's happy breeding farm.

After observing the stone crab in his hand, Yhwach took out Baradion, which had transformed into a small hammer, and struck the stone crab's shell, which was covered with algae and barnacles. With each hammer strike, the stone crab vibrated like a cell phone, and then its stone shell shattered with a snap.

After all the stone carapace on the stone crab fell off, the red carapace underneath was revealed. Seeing that the inedible parts of the stone crab had all fallen off, Yuhaka examined the stone crab in his hand. The stone crab's weight and size had decreased slightly after the stone carapace was removed. However, even so, Yuhaka felt that the crab was still quite substantial, although it was much smaller than the small shield crab.

After destroying the stone crab's stone carapace, Yuhaka cleaned it a bit. After washing it, Yuhaka removed the stone crab's legs and claws, and then removed its head. Looking at the crab roe inside the shell, Yuhaka smiled and said "OwO~". Yuhaka was obviously very satisfied with the quality of the stone crab.

Bronya, who was processing the large oysters that Yuki and the others had collected, looked at the stone crab that Yuhaka was processing and asked curiously:

"Youyou's mom, how do you plan to eat this crab?"

Upon hearing Bronya's question, Yhaka thought for a moment and then decided to steam the crab claws and legs in a pot, while grilling the head, which resembled a small pot, to make shell grill. After that, he would put the steamed crab meat and chopped green onions into the grill.

Bronya also looked uneasy after hearing Yhaka's words. She had a feeling that Yhaka's method of cooking with his carapace was somewhat like "cooking with your head," which felt rather strange...

"~OwO~?"

Compared to Bronya's strange expression, Yhaka had a happy look on her face as she placed the prepared stone crab into the cooking utensils to cook. After putting the lid on the pot, Yhaka also went to process other ingredients before the crab meat was steamed. Yhaka came to Bronya's side and pulled out a large handful of disc-shaped shellfish from the dimensional portal, poured them into a basin to wash, and the name of these shellfish came from their shape.

Because it looks like a plate, it is called the disc clam or the large disc clam. Its shape is also somewhat similar to the sun and moon clam in the real world. They are both flat and resemble a plate.

In fact, large clams like these can be made into handicrafts and plates, and these items can be found in various seaside towns.

After cleaning, Yuhaka skillfully took out Baladion, which transformed into a small knife, and cut into the gap between the shells to sever the adductor muscle inside. After severing the adductor muscle, the shell of the clam was easily opened. Yuhaka removed the inedible parts and threw the edible parts into a basin of ice water.

Yuhaka licked his lips as he looked at the beautiful, white, jade-like scallop in his hand. He clearly wanted to eat it, but he resisted the urge. After swallowing, he put the scallop in the ice water and then picked up another large plate of clams to continue his work.

After processing the large platters of clams, Yuhaka handed them to Ji Lin. Ji Lin took the large bowl of clam meat from Yuhaka and asked:

"Master Youyou, what are you planning to do with these large clams?"

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka thought for a moment and decided to make sashimi and barbecue. After hearing Yuhaka's reply, Ji Lin nodded to indicate that she understood. After Yuhaka gave Ji Lin instructions, Yuhaka took out the spiny sea urchin. This thing is somewhat similar to sea urchins on Earth, but the sharp spines on the spiny sea urchin's shell are like spearheads, and it looks very prickly.

However, this didn't bother Ehaka. Ehaka poured all the spiky sea urchins out of the dimensional hole, and then took out the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword. In a flash, he chopped off all the spikes on the spiky sea urchins, making it easier for Ehaka to process these spiky sea urchins that had become round.

Yuhaka pried open the shell of the sea urchin from its spiky mouth and removed the inedible internal organs. Then she scooped out the crab roe-like substance and put it in a bowl. Later, she would add some seasonings and use it as a rice topping.

After processing the spiny sea urchin, Yuhaka discards the useless shell, as other creatures will eat it later.

After preparing all the ingredients, Yuhaka joined Jilin in the barbecue. Because they were short-handed, Yuhaka called Xilin and the others over, but didn't call the kitchen cats. They were a bit tired from cooking for the little one, so they were allowed to rest for a while.

Moreover, this beach barbecue party was also a family gathering.

Chapter 1000 [Return to Pandora]

At Yuhaka's call (via his phone), Sirin, Kuro, Rin, and Kanna, who were at home, also came to help.

"Oh~ Majiya Bakune~!"

Kanna's eyes sparkled as she looked at the skewers laid out on the barbecue grill. Yuhaka and the others had prepared a lot of ingredients today, so they were using quite a variety. Ji Lin, standing nearby, also took out some ingredients and handed them to Xilin and Hei, saying:

"Cirin, Miss Xiao Hei, could you please prepare these ingredients?"

When Xilin took the ingredients from Ji Lin, she noticed that the ingredients, like those on the grill, looked completely bewildered. Xilin looked up at Ji Lin and couldn't help but ask:

"Um, Ji Lin, aren't these ingredients a bit too much?"

Hearing Xilin's question, Ji Lin, who had just handed over the ingredients she was preparing to make crab curry to Xiao Hei, also looked at Xilin curiously and said:

"Is it a lot? Well... before, those ingredients were enough for Chef Youyou and the others, but now there are two more little cuties just like Chef Youyou, so..."

"Uh... okay, I understand."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Xi Lin realized that there were now two more big eaters in the house, just like Yuhaka, so it was understandable that there was so much more food available.

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

After Yuhaka and the others finished cooking, they gathered around the table to eat. Yuki and Yurin, the two little cuties, were also using soup spoons to scoop up rice mixed with crab roe and crab meat from the stone crab shells. The salty and fresh taste of the crab roe, combined with the slightly chewy texture of the crab meat, made the two little ones very satisfied with seafood.

Yuhaka was also very satisfied with the way the stone crab was prepared. Although the amount of shield crab was much larger than that of stone crab, the two tasted quite different. The stone crab tasted salty and fresh, while the shield crab tasted fresh and fragrant. If the crab roe was taken from the top-quality shield crab, it could completely outperform other crab roe in terms of taste. The crab oil that was cooked in it could also enhance the taste of many crab roe.

Xiao Hei, who was standing to the side, was also eating the crab roe curry omelet rice that Ji Lin had helped him make. The crab roe curry omelet rice that Xiao Hei was eating was curry rice made by mixing crab roe, crab meat and curry. Xiao Hei was also very satisfied with this curry, which was different from the taste of chicken curry.

"Hmm, this scallop sashimi tastes pretty good."

Sitting next to Ji Lin, Xi Lin put the scallop sashimi from the large plate into her mouth. The sweet taste that seeped out as she bit into the tender scallop was quite delicious, and the tender texture of the scallop was also very pleasant.

Bronya, who was sitting with Kanna and the others, nodded and said while holding a grilled garlic oyster in her hand:

"Hmm, this oyster tastes pretty good, but the only downside is that the meat shrinks when grilled. I'll try cooking it like sashimi next time."

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Yuhaka raised her little hand in response:

"Youyou knows! OwO/~"

Sitting next to Yuuki and Yurin, Jilin, upon hearing Yuhaka's words, suddenly remembered something and said to Yuhaka:

"Speaking of oysters... I suddenly remembered that Viya's hometown is about to hold an event called the Monsoon Festival. According to Viya, it seems to be a large-scale hunting event with several tribes participating. A few days ago, Viya also invited us to Pandora in a while, but at that time, Master Youyou was in another world, so I forgot about it for a while."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka finally understood why Viya hadn't come to visit her. It turned out she was busy with matters concerning the tribe.

However, just thinking about the large-scale hunting event that Ji Lin mentioned was being held by Viya, Yuhaka's mouth watered. After all, the most common things on Pandora's planet are all kinds of delicious seafood, and Yuhaka really likes Pandora's large seafood buffet market.

Seeing Yuhaka drooling, Xilin broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but remind him:

"Master Youyou, you should wipe your drool instead of drooling. You're already drooling before we've even gotten there..."

Upon hearing Sirin's words, Yuhaka glanced at Sirin with a drooling expression, then realized he was drooling and licked it back.

Seeing this, Ji Lin sighed, took out her handkerchief, and went to Yuhaka's side to wipe her mouth. Seeing Ji Lin and Yuhaka interacting, Xilin didn't feel like she was being fed dog food for some reason. Instead, she felt like an older sister taking care of her younger sister.

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

After a day of beach seafood barbecue party, Yuhaka and her group returned home. As soon as they got home, Xiao Hei picked up his game console and lay down on the sofa to play games, while the two little ones, Yuki and Yurin, were taken to their room by Bronya and the others to play games.

Ji Lin and Xi Lin went out to buy some daily necessities, while Tiamat tried to practice sewing scarves.

Yuhaka, on the other hand, went to Pandora.

After entering Pandora through the store, Yohaka felt the air around him was humid, but it was different from the last time he came. Last time, Yohaka felt that the flow around him was very calm, but now, Yohaka could feel as if a strong wind was about to blow.

This puzzled Yuhaka greatly, but he thought it would be better to go find Viya first.

Soon, Yuhaka skipped and hopped towards Viya's residence. On the way, he encountered the Niwei tribe members who bowed to him. After all, Yuhaka was their benefactor who saved their tribe and drove out the outsiders, so they had to show him respect.

Besides, Yuhaka is Viya's husband, after all...

Chapter 1001 [Viya: O-O? ? ? ]

When Yuhaka arrived at Viya's house, or rather, Viya and her home, he saw Viya looking at a wooden board with writing on it. Yuhaka wasn't quite sure what was written on the board.

“Yoyo OwO/!”

Even so, it didn't stop Yuhaka from jumping out to scare Viya. Unfortunately, Yuhaka didn't scare Viya, because when Yuhaka came earlier, his icon appeared on the minimap of the game system Viya was carrying, so Viya didn't seem to care too much.

Hearing Yuhaka suddenly shout, Viya looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression. Seeing Yuhaka raising his hands, Viya asked curiously:

"Lord Youyou, is this how outsiders greet each other?"

Yuhaka looked puzzled at Viya's question, as if he didn't know what Viya was asking. However, more than that, Yuhaka wanted to know why Viya wasn't scared by him.

Yuhaka came up to Viya and rubbed his face against hers, taking a whiff of her scent. Viya blushed slightly as Yuhaka nuzzled her cheek, and feeling a little embarrassed, she gently pushed away Yuhaka's face, saying:

"Alright, Master Youyou, stop rubbing your face on me. I still have work to do."

Hearing Viya's words, Yuhaka stopped bothering her. Looking at the wooden board on the table inscribed with the script of Viya's tribe, Yuhaka asked with a curious expression:

"Viya, what's this?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's question, Viya picked up a wooden board with inscriptions on it and explained:

"This thing is a record about this monsoon festival. Because of the outsiders, the number of tribe members has dropped significantly, making it difficult to organize a hunting event of the same scale as before. We have to recalculate."

Yuhaka opened her mouth in surprise upon hearing Viya's words, then tilted her head and looked at Viya, asking:

"Monsoon Festival? What's that?"

Regarding the question about Yuhaka, Viya also gave her own explanation:

"The Monsoon Festival is a special time that we, the inhabitants of Pandora, look forward to."

"Special time of year?"
