I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Little friend, where are your parents? Are they comfortable letting you go out alone?"

Hearing the old master's question, Yuhaka tilted his little head and looked at the old master to answer:

"Youyou can do it all by herself, and she's really amazing OwO~ She can go to the supermarket by herself =w=~"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, the old master scratched the back of his head and said:

"Well, it seems I was overthinking it."

Clearly, the chef had assumed Yuhaka was a child who had gone out alone. However, it seemed that Yuhaka wasn't a child who had gone out without telling his parents. Reassured, the chef asked Yuhaka what he wanted to order. Upon hearing the chef's words, Yuhaka looked up at the sign hanging above the counter, which listed the names of various ramen dishes, clearly allowing Yuhaka to choose.

After looking around for a while, Yuhaka saw a sign on the far right that read "Miso Tonkotsu Chashu Ramen". Yuhaka was obviously curious about this ramen, so he ordered a bowl of Miso Tonkotsu Chashu Ramen.

"One serving of miso tonkotsu chashu ramen? Very well, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, the master chef went to work, while Yuhaka craned his neck to peek at the master chef making ramen. Of course, Yuhaka couldn't see what was happening inside the kitchen, but he could hear what was going on inside. With his own senses, Yuhaka was also able to "see" what the people inside were doing.

It was at this moment that Yuhaka suddenly sensed something familiar walking towards the ramen shop. As the door of the ramen shop was opened, a bespectacled high school girl with double braids and wearing a school uniform stepped out. However, after Yuhaka and the high school girl looked at each other, they recognized each other.

"Bad woman OxO!"

"Oh, it's you~"

The high school girl with glasses, wearing a school uniform and sporting double braids, standing at the entrance was Tokisaki Kurumi. At this moment, Tokisaki Kurumi looked exactly like an ordinary high school girl, and even her heterochromatic eyes were covered with black contact lenses to conceal her striking eyes.

As for why the other party dressed up as a seemingly ordinary high school girl, it was because the day before, when Tokisaki Kurumi discovered that she was being followed, she realized that she seemed to be being watched by someone. If she wasn't mistaken, it was probably a government agency of this world that sent her to follow her.

As for why she didn't think they were the perverted stalkers who were eyeing her beauty... the answer is quite simple. After all, with years of fishing experience, Tokisaki Kurumi could naturally recognize the lustful look in the eyes of a perverted stalker.

Those who were following her only had wary eyes, which was undoubtedly suspicious. So, Tokisaki Kurumi disguised herself as an ordinary high school girl, which made those who were following her lose their target.

Although Kurumi Tokisaki didn't know how the guys who were following her were doing, she probably knew they were probably frantic with worry.

However, this is none of Tokisaki Kurumi's business now. What Tokisaki Kurumi is more concerned about now is the little girl wearing a cat headgear in front of her. To be honest, she didn't expect to meet Yuhaka, and more importantly, the other party is actually a girl.

Did the other person say that I am a bad woman?

When Yuhaka saw the bad woman who had said she would eat him last time, he put on a pose with his little paws outstretched and let out a "fierce" growl at Tokisaki Kurumi. Seeing Yuhaka's "fierce" appearance, Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't help but cover her nose, after all, Yuhaka looked a little... very cute right now.

It might have been better if that cat head hadn't looked so ridiculous.

It was at this moment that the master craftsman, hearing the commotion outside, peeked out and saw Yuhaka baring his teeth at Kurumi Tokisaki and Kurumi Tokisaki covering her nose at the door. Seeing this, the master craftsman looked at the two with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Oh my? Tokisaki-san, do you know this little girl?"

Hearing the old master's words, Kurumi Tokisaki also spoke up and said to him:

"Well... we've met once, I guess."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, the old master blinked and said:

"I see... By the way, what would you like to eat today, Tokisaki-san?"

"Yes... what should I choose...?"

After hearing her master's words, Tokisaki Kurumi thought for a moment, then looked at Yuhaka. Yuhaka, feeling stared at, shrank back and extended her small hand, holding a claw, towards Tokisaki Kurumi, saying:

"Ununuo OdinO~"

Seeing this, Tokisaki Kurumi, with her fingers pressed against her cheek and her head tilted to the side, looked at Yuhaka with a charming smile and said:

"Then I'll choose the same thing as this child!"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's choice, the old master nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and said:

"Would you like to choose the miso tonkotsu chashu ramen like this kid? Okay, no problem!"

As he spoke, the master chef went into the kitchen to make noodles.

Kurumi Tokisaki stayed a few chairs away from Yhaka, as she didn't want to fight him. She had found a good prey and didn't need Yhaka much. Most importantly, Kurumi saw Yhaka at the place where the two horned dragons fought last time, and she believed that Yhaka couldn't be a bad person.

At first, Kurumi Tokisaki thought Yhaka was some kind of villain, since she could smell a faint scent of blood on him. This was a misunderstanding on Kurumi's part. In addition, the seemingly infinite amount of time on Yhaka made Kurumi feel like she was seeing a cat, and she couldn't help but want to absorb time from him.

Now that Kurumi Tokisaki has absorbed a portion of Muzan Kibutsuji's time, she's not in a rush. After all, Kurumi knows that Muzan Kibutsuji will definitely reappear. She can smell his foul stench, and if he reappears, her clone will be able to track him down. Kurumi won't give him a second chance to escape.

Kurumi Tokisaki, looking at Yhaka, narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled as she greeted him:

"It's been a few days, little one. It seems quite lucky to meet you here..."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka stared at Kurumi with a deadpan expression. Of course, because Yuhaka was wearing a hood, Kurumi couldn't see Yuhaka's expression. But at that moment, the chef in the kitchen had already prepared the miso tonkotsu chashu ramen.

P.S.: So tired ==

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1211 [Tokisaki Kurumi: My Treat]

Under the master's voice, Yuhka's attention was also drawn to him. Of course, even so, Yuhka's sensory organs were locked on Tokisaki Kurumi, which shows Yuhka's wariness of Tokisaki Kurumi. Although Tokisaki Kurumi could hardly cause any harm to Yuhka, she left a considerable psychological shadow on him.

After placing two large bowls of miso tonkotsu chashu ramen in front of Yuhaka and Tokisaki Kurumi, the chef said "Please enjoy" before returning to the kitchen to prepare some things. After all, if they weren't prepared by noon, the lunch customers might be caught off guard.

Yuhaka stared at the large bowl of miso tonkotsu chashu ramen with a bright, sparkling expression as it was served. The golden ramen noodles were mixed into the white tonkotsu broth, and the soft-boiled egg, fish cake with mosquito coil-like patterns, and round slices of chashu looked incredibly tempting.

Moreover, the char siu was cooked with a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, so it didn't feel too fatty or too lean, which made Yuhaka very satisfied.

Meanwhile, Tokisaki Kurumi hadn't even started eating yet. She was very curious about what looked like under Yuhaka's hood. Yuhaka didn't look like someone who could eat with the hood on. She probably had to take the hood off first.

However, to Tokisaki Kurumi's surprise, Yuhka did not remove the mask. Instead, the mask made a snapping sound at the mouth area, and an opening appeared in Yuhka's mouth area while wearing the Meru Cat mask. Tokisaki Kurumi was dumbfounded when she saw this, clearly not expecting that the mask Yuhka was wearing would have such a function.

"Delicious O~O~"

As Yuhaka slurped up her ramen, she chewed on her food and said this. Based on her investigation, Yuhaka quickly analyzed the ingredients used in the miso tonkotsu chashu ramen. Then Yuhaka discovered that there were quite a lot of ingredients, which was unexpected. If she was not mistaken, it was probably made of dozens of ingredients.

The exact ingredients of the noodles are still unclear, since miso has been added, which slightly affects the analysis of the noodles but doesn't prevent us from eating them.

Seeing how happily Yuhka was eating, Kurumi Tokisaki didn't know what to say. Just now, Kurumi had tried to sneak a peek under Yuhka's hood, as if trying to see what Yuhka looked like. Unfortunately, Yuhka was very wary of Kurumi, like a little animal guarding its food. This made Kurumi feel a little amused and exasperated. Was the food more important than her hidden appearance?

However, this also made Tokisaki Kurumi a little confused about Yhaka. Yhaka didn't seem to care about his appearance being exposed, so why was he wearing a hood to hide his identity?

This was something that Kurumi Tokisaki couldn't understand, but the curious Kurumi wanted to see what Yhaka actually looked like.

Then, Kurumi Tokisaki, watching Yuhka happily eating his noodles, suddenly spoke up:

"It's been a while, little one, how have you been lately?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka suddenly stopped eating and looked at Kurumi with a wary expression. Yuhaka sensed something strange about Kurumi's sudden greeting. After all, the other party had looked frightening last time, but now she was smiling like a fox, making Yuhaka wonder if Kurumi was up to something.

"You naughty woman, Youyou is going to bite me! O皿O!"

Upon hearing Yhaka's threat, Kurumi Tokisaki almost burst out laughing, but she managed to suppress it. Then, Kurumi said to Yhaka:

"I'm sorry about what happened last time. I was eating at the time, and I couldn't help myself after smelling your scent."

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka blinked with a puzzled expression, then sniffed himself. Clearly, Yuhaka had no idea what appealing scent he possessed that Kurumi was tempted by. Seeing Yuhaka's reaction, Kurumi smiled. The scent Kurumi referred to wasn't Yuhaka's natural smell, but rather the vast amount of time Yuhaka possessed. After all, this was the first time Kurumi had ever seen such a massive amount of time, far exceeding any of her previous prey.

However, the little guy in front of her didn't seem like a bad person, so Tokisaki Kurumi naturally wouldn't go all out against Yhaka. Although she wouldn't go all out against Yhaka, Tokisaki Kurumi was thinking about how to get time from Yhaka. If she wasn't mistaken, Altair's main reason for bringing Yhaka into this time was probably the same as hers—he had a goal he wanted to achieve.

If she knew the other party's name, she might be able to find some information about the little guy in front of her online. This is very important, and it also determines how Kurumi Tokisaki should deceive, uh, persuade the other party.

Yuhaka, not smelling anything delicious on herself, looked at Kurumi Tokisaki with a puzzled expression and said:

"That bad woman is lying to YouyouOO!"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Tokisaki Kurumi noticed that Yuhaka always referred to her as "Yu-Yu." Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't help but wonder if that was Yuhaka's name. She decided to make a note of it and look it up online later.

"Anyway, I acted impulsively last time. As an apology, I'll treat you this time!"

Upon hearing that Kurumi Tokisaki was going to treat everyone, Yuhaka immediately gave Kurumi an "OwO" look, wagging his big tail and saying:

"Really?"

Kurumi Tokisaki nodded and said:

"It's true! And please introduce yourself. My name is Tokisaki Kurumi. What's your name?"

"Youyou is Youyou's OwO, San San is such a good person~"

Upon hearing Yhaka's name, Tokisaki Kurumi confirmed it. Once she had investigated Yhaka's situation thoroughly, she was confident she could use her abilities to make a deal with him. After all, turning things around with her abilities wouldn't be too difficult.

But then again, when the other person calls her San San, are they referring to herself?

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

After Yuhaka ate over a dozen bowls of miso tonkotsu chashu ramen, to the astonishment of the master chef and Tokisaki Kurumi, Yuhaka chugled down the entire bowl of miso tonkotsu broth. He then burped, placed the bowl on the table, and said to everyone present:

"Youyou's finished eating, OwO~"

Kurumi Tokisaki and the master chef stared blankly at Yuhaka's empty bowl, clearly surprised by his large appetite. At first, when Yuhaka asked for a second bowl, they were worried he might overeat, but after finishing his second bowl of miso tonkotsu chashu ramen with ease, he ordered a third.

At this moment, Kurumi Tokisaki tentatively touched Yuhka's stomach and asked:

"Wait, Youyou, you didn't make it?"

Yuhaka, who had just had his stomach touched, looked at Kurumi Tokisaki with a puzzled expression and said:

"Youyou hasn't finished eating yet, OO."

After touching the soft, warm little belly and not feeling any signs of swelling, Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't help but wonder if this seemingly small child was actually a big glutton like Yatogami Tohka.

However, just as Kurumi Tokisaki had imagined, Yuhaka was indeed a big glutton.

P.S.: I'm experiencing some writer's block.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1212 [Easy to Kidnap Youyou]

After finishing those dozen or so bowls of miso tonkotsu ramen in Yuhaka, Tokisaki Kurumi paid the chef a considerable sum. Of course, Tokisaki Kurumi didn't care about the money at all, since it wasn't her money. She had taken the money from the Japanese mafia, so she was basically not short of money.

Furthermore, while Yuhka was eating noodles, Kurumi Tokisaki roughly figured out Yuhka's personality: she likes to eat, and if you are nice to her, Yuhka will be nice to you in return. However, if you are malicious towards Yuhka, she will retaliate with her claws and fangs.

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

After leaving with Yuhaka, Kurumi Tokisaki followed him out of the ramen shop. Looking at Yuhaka, who was stretching lazily at the entrance, Kurumi asked with a curious expression:

"So, what are you going to do next, Youyou? Are you going to find your creator?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Yuhaka looked puzzled. Of course, because Yuhaka was wearing the Meru Cat headgear, Kurumi Tokisaki couldn't see Yuhaka's puzzled expression.

After pondering for a few seconds what the Creator was, Yuhaka stopped thinking and said to Kurumi Tokisaki:

"Youyou's going to buy groceries OwO~"

Kurumi Tokisaki was stunned to hear that Yuhaka was going to buy groceries. After all, Yuhaka had just finished eating more than a dozen bowls of ramen. What was Yuhaka going to buy groceries for now?

However, Kurumi Tokisaki also felt that Yuhka's appearance resembled a typical isekai character from a light novel, since Yuhka's weapon was a one-handed sword, which looked like a standard isekai medieval style background.

If you let her go grocery shopping in a modern city like this, she'd probably get lost, right? After all, the writing system in this other world is different from the Japanese writing system.

So, in order to increase Yuhaka's favorability, Kurumi Tokisaki took Yuhaka to a nearby supermarket. Although being with Yuhaka might expose her identity, Kurumi Tokisaki didn't care about those things.

After Kurumi Tokisaki brought Yuhaka to a large supermarket, she saw Yuhaka skillfully pick up a shopping cart and run to the meat section.
