I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Upon hearing Nia Honjou's question, Yuhaka thought for a moment and then nodded, indicating that it was magic. After all, when the maid clerk cast magic earlier, Yuhaka had sensed the flow of mana. Although there was no mana in this world, it was still possible for ordinary people without mana to cast simple spells.

After seeing Yuhaka nod, Nia Honjou looked at Yuhaka with some confusion and asked:

"But then again, isn't this world more of a slice-of-life style?"

Regarding Nia Honjo's question, Yuhaka explained to her while eating omelet rice:

"No, there are dragons, angels, demons, superpowered beings, magical girls, and even gods O~O."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's explanation, Nia Honjou's eye twitched involuntarily. Was the race system in this world really this complex? This greatly surprised her...

Volume 2 [Slice of Life - Part 1]: Chapter 1621 [Using Magic to Cook?]

After learning about the complexity of the races here from Yuhaka, Nia Honjou looked worried. She obviously hadn't expected the world to be like this. However, when she thought of Tiamat, who had children in Yuhaka's family, Nia Honjou seemed to think it didn't matter so much.

After the two came out of the maid cafeteria, Nia Honjou looked at Yuhaka standing to the side and suddenly thought of something, saying:

"Speaking of which, Youyou, you once called yourself a hero. Where did you get that title from?"

Upon hearing Nia's question, Yuhaka explained to the other party:

"It was won by Youyou in a competition at Biscotti! OwO~"

"Competition?"

After receiving Yuhaka's answer, Nia Honjou looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression. To be honest, she couldn't connect the competition and the hero with anything, since the two seemed completely unrelated.

However, Yuhaka quickly explained to Nia Honjou about the unique competitions in the Biscotti world. The fact that what was originally war had become a war sport competition surprised Nia Honjou, who remarked:

"I can't believe such a world exists. It's so peaceful. If the real world were like that, I wonder how much more peaceful it would be... The world of anime is truly wonderful. Ah... Of course, there are also some annoying creators who produce garbage that pollutes this sacred land of anime."

"OwO?"

Yuhaka, standing to the side, looked at Nia Honjou with a puzzled expression when he heard her words. After all, Yuhaka couldn't understand what Nia Honjou was talking about, such as anime and manga. However, judging from her disgusted expression and the fact that she was talking about poop, she probably thought Nia was like the Peach Fur Beast and the hunter who put poop bombs on his projectile.

Yuhaka also couldn't understand why those guys would play with poop. It's so disgusting. Don't they find it smelly and dirty? Do they want to eat it?

Seeing Yuhaka's puzzled and strange expression, Nia Honjou scratched the back of her head apologetically and said:

"Sorry, I said some things that made you confused, Xiaoyou."

Upon hearing Nia Honjou's apology, Yuhaka was also puzzled. After all, Yuhaka didn't understand why Nia Honjou would suddenly apologize to him. Could it be that she had stolen Yuyu's food supplies?!

Thinking of this, Yuhaka couldn't help but look at Honjou Nia with a wary OヘO expression. Honjou Nia saw that Yuhaka looked like a kitten whose owner was stealing its cat food, and she knew what Yuhaka was thinking. After Honjou Nia explained, Yuhaka realized that Honjou Nia hadn't stolen its food, and Yuhaka's expression changed back to OwO, clearly going from a wary state to a relaxed one.

Seeing that the other party believed her explanation, Honjou Nia breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Honjou Nia knew very well how tightly this little guy guarded his food reserves. According to Ji Lin, you can ask Yuhaka for it, but you absolutely cannot steal it, or you'll be in for a good spanking.

Yuki and Yurin understood this all too well. Of course, the two little ones forgot the lesson the next day, acting as if they weren't the ones who got spanked by Yuhaka.

Then, as if struck by a thought, Yuhaka also wore a thoughtful expression. Seeing Yuhaka deep in thought, Nia Honjou looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Little Youyou, what are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing Nia Honjo's question, Yuhaka shared her thoughts after finishing the omelet rice with Nia Honjo.

"Hmm, Youyou is thinking of ways to use magic to make food."

"what?"

Nia Honjou looked puzzled after hearing Yuhaka's explanation, clearly not understanding why Yuhaka wanted to use magic to make food. Uh... could it be that Yuhaka wanted to make that weird omelet rice?

Although the food tasted good, the presentation was a bit hard for Honjou Nia to accept. If she thought about how Yuhaka's future dishes would be exactly the same as those at that maid restaurant, Honjou Nia decided to give up. With that in mind, Honjou Nia decided to go with Yuhaka to see what he was planning to do.

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

At the ancient kitchen where Yuhaka is located, everyone in charge of the kitchen work on Yuhaka's side is also gathered here, along with Honjou Nia, who can't cook.

"Using magic to make food? That's a novel idea."

Hearing Yuhka's words, Medea Lily, sitting beside him, also looked surprised. To be honest, it was the first time she had ever heard of this idea. Tokisaki Kurumi, upon hearing Yuhka's words, smiled and said with interest:

"Oh my, that's a really novel idea."

Kurumi Tokisaki seemed somewhat interested, as she was also quite fascinated by the idea of ​​cooking with magic. During her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) days, Kurumi had fantasized about it, but unfortunately, her angelic abilities were only related to time, at most speeding up the cooking process.

Elodie, standing to the side, stretched out her small hand in a gesture of confusion and asked:

"Magic? It can cook?"

Although Elodie possesses magic, she doesn't use it to cook. At most, she uses fire magic to light a fire. The only magical item she creates is potions, which she eats as her main food. This allows Elodie to maintain the same level in both magic and physical abilities.

Upon hearing this, Miyuki Sakuzuki couldn't help but touch her chin and say:

"Magic? But then again, why would Youyou think of these things?"

Hearing Miyu's words, Yuhaka recounted her experience at the maid cafe that day. Upon hearing Yuhaka's story, everyone's gaze turned to Honjou Nia, who was sitting to the side. Seeing their curious looks, Honjou Nia quickly explained:

"I didn't take Yu-Yu to the maid cafe! We just happened to bump into each other at the entrance!"

Upon hearing Nia's words, everyone turned their gaze to Yuhaka, as if asking her what was wrong. Yuhaka, noticing their stares, nodded and said:

"Hmm, Youyou smelled something sweet and went to check it out OwO~"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Tokisaki Kurumi and the others nodded and said that they understood. This was very much in line with Yuhaka's behavior. Honjou Nia, who was standing to the side, looked at everyone present with a twitching mouth. Was her credibility really that low?

At that moment, Medea Lily looked at Eugène with curiosity and asked:

"By the way, Master, do you still remember what that magic looked like?"

Upon hearing Medea Lily's words, Yuhaka took out a piece of paper and a pen from the dimensional portal and then drew the magic circle he had memorized, just like a printer. After that, Yuhaka took out a sandwich and held up the magic circle he had drawn, and began to chant the spell he had heard from the maid shop clerk.

As Yuhaka chanted the heavy and somber incantation with an "OwO" expression, for some reason, everyone felt that Yuhaka looked silly and completely lacked the weight of the atmosphere, which made everyone feel a little awkward.

After Yuhaka finished chanting the incantation, everyone looked at the purple sauce sandwiches on the table, which were emitting a strange purple aura, and didn't know what to say. Although they smelled quite delicious, their eerie appearance made them unappetizing.

Everyone present fell silent.

Volume 2 [Slice of Life - Part 1]: Chapter 1622 [Kobayashi and Tohru's Inquiry]

Although the appearance was quite strange, after Yuhaka ate it first and said there was no problem, everyone started to try it. After eating it, they found that the taste was indeed very good, much better than ordinary sandwiches, which surprised them.

After trying it out, Medea Lily, who had knowledge of magic, roughly understood how the magic worked. It was about making the food taste delicious. Of course, the deliciousness depended on the magician, i.e., the caster. It was basically unsuitable for cooking, since the soul was gone. The reason for this interpretation was that after trying each ingredient of the sandwich separately, Medea Lily found that all the ingredients tasted the same. Therefore, this magic could not possibly be used to cook ordinary food.

After all, dishes that all taste the same are not very appetizing, are they?

Hearing Medea Lily's words, Yuhaka couldn't help but sigh, expressing his regret. However, according to Medea Lily, while it's not impossible to use magic to make food, she needed to research it. This made Yuhaka very excited, as he was also looking forward to using magic to make food, although he didn't know any magic.

"Well, although we need to do research, I need to investigate the ingredients to see what ingredients we can use."

Upon hearing Medea Lily's words, Yuhaka pointed to the food warehouse not far away and said:

"There are ingredients over there, Medea Lily can go find them there OwO→～"

After receiving Yuhaka's reply, Medea Lily said she remembered it. However, due to the fact that Yoshina's body needed to be made, this matter would have to wait for some time to be resolved. Yuhaka knew the importance of this and didn't mind the short time, so he nodded to indicate that he understood.

Kurumi Tokisaki, who was standing nearby, seemed to have thought of something and asked Yuhaka and the others:

"But speaking of which, why would an ordinary maid cafe have such magic? Don't you find that strange?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Ji Lin, who was standing to the side, opened her phone and showed reviews of maid cafes, saying:

"Oh, I know who it is. It was Miss Thor who made these things."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka also curiously stepped forward to take a look. The others nearby also curiously gathered around to examine her. Seeing Thor dressed in the maid cafe outfit, everyone looked at the dragon girl whose horns resembled some kind of coral with puzzled expressions.

But just then, a cat wearing a safety helmet ran over from the doorway and said to Yuhaka:

"Boss Meow, two people have come looking for you at the construction site."

Hearing the cat's words, Yuhaka looked at the cat with an "OwO?" expression, clearly not knowing who was looking for him. Ji Lin, standing nearby, looked at the cat wearing the helmet and asked:

"Two people came to see Master Youyou? What do they look like?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's question, the cat explained:

"There's a woman who looks like a man wearing glasses, and a maid cat with strange horns on her head."

After hearing the cat's explanation, Ji Lin and Youhaka immediately knew who it was.

"Kobayashi and Tohru? Why are they here?"

Ji Lin looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression, while Yuhaka shrugged at Ji Lin's question, indicating that he didn't know what was going on. However, the two of them returned to the construction site of the Merlin Cat Restaurant.

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

At the construction site of the Mew Cat Restaurant, Kobayashi and Tohru watched the busy construction workers with curious expressions. Just then, the shop door opened, and Kobayashi and Tohru saw Yuhka and Himeko come out. After they came out, Kobayashi and Tohru greeted the two of them.

"Yo, good afternoon, Ji Lin, Youyou."

Hearing Kobayashi and the others greet them, Ji Lin and Yuhaka also greeted Kobayashi and the others, then looked at them with some confusion and asked:

"Um, Ji Lin, Youyou, did you and Kanna go anywhere yesterday and this morning?"

Upon hearing Kobayashi and the others' question, Yuhaka and Himeko looked puzzled. Although they didn't know why Kobayashi and Tohru would ask such a question, they honestly answered:

“Yesterday, Yu-Yu, Kanna, and I stayed in the other world. This morning, we came out to check on the construction progress at the site, and then we stayed in that world as before. Yu-Yu came out for a while in the morning to go to the maid cafe and had a strange omelet rice dish before coming back. Kanna has been playing with the other children and hasn’t gone out.”

After hearing Ji Lin's explanation, Xiao Lin's lips twitched slightly. She was obviously thinking about which maid restaurant Yuhaka had gone to eat omelet rice at. However, the point was not that. It was that the other party had basically not come here at all. So the problem was only one person.

Tolton, standing to the side, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, making a cracking sound, as he said:

"As expected! It was Elma who did this!"

Upon hearing Thor's words, both Ji Lin and Yuhaka looked at each other with blank expressions, clearly wondering why Elma had been inexplicably dragged into this. This left Yuhaka and Ji Lin at a loss for words.

Then, Ji Lin looked at Thor, who seemed about to breathe fire, with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Um, Miss Thor, what happened?"

In response to Ji Lin's confusion, Xiao Lin, who was standing nearby, offered an explanation:

"Oh, it's like this. Today's news showed that a large chunk of a nearby mountain was sheared off. Thor cast a barrier spell on that area, so ordinary people generally can't go there. And the sheer amount of destruction doesn't seem like something an ordinary human would do. We're worried that someone or a dragon might have accidentally damaged that place."

After hearing Xiaolin's explanation, Ji Lin and Youhaka looked enlightened. Then, Ji Lin checked the news on her phone that morning and saw that a large chunk of a mountain had been cut away, looking as if it had been scooped out with a spoon. Ji Lin and Youhaka both thought it was a result of human destruction.

"But does a damaged mountain really matter?"

Regarding Ji Lin's question, Thor also seemed quite excited and said:

"That's where Kobayashi and I first met! To prevent it from being destroyed, I specially cast a barrier and protective magic to keep ordinary humans out and cause damage!"

Hearing Thor's words, Ji Lin understood why Thor was so agitated. If it were her, she would also want to chop the culprit in half with a single move of the Taixu Divine Sword.

After learning that Ji Lin and Yuhka had alibis, Thor left with Kobayashi as if he were in a hurry to settle scores. Watching Thor and Kobayashi leave, Yuhka and Ji Lin exchanged a blank stare. Although they weren't quite sure what the situation was, Ji Lin thought that Thor might beat up Erma, so she thought it would be better to follow them and see what was going on.

However, before they could catch up, they sensed a strong energy reaction, indicating that Thor and Elma were apparently fighting.
