Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Yes, Yingcao is even more powerful after awakening.

Especially the dandelion, which had become much heavier. It was truly unimaginable that such a small body as Yingcao could contain such great power.

"Oh, really? That's good." Kobayashi had no idea what awakening was, and she had never heard of shikigami awakening before.

However, as long as Yingcao becomes stronger, nothing else matters.

At this moment, Kobayashi perfectly demonstrated the principles of a member of society.

That means never meddling in other people's business and never being curious.

Little did they know how many people had offended those big shots by meddling in other people's business and ended up being fired from their companies.

How many people, out of curiosity, have accidentally stumbled upon their boss's secrets and then been resented in various ways?

The saying "curiosity killed the cat" is no joke.

Self-preservation is the most important thing.

Having a stable job and a steady income is more important than anything else.

Chapter 123 Tail Meat Tempura

"Dinner's ready."

Not long after, Thor happily came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

Kobayashi looked at Thor with some confusion. What made her so happy?

Kobayashi glanced subconsciously at the plate in Thor's hand, which startled Thor so much that his little hand trembled slightly, and he looked at Kobayashi nervously.

That can't be right! It's already so well hidden, there's no way Kobayashi could have seen it!

No, why am I so nervous? My tail meat wasn't even in the curry; the curry was just a cover.

Thinking of this, Thor relaxed a lot and happily put the curry rice on the table.

"Thor, are we having curry today?" Kobayashi asked curiously, relieved to see the perfectly normal plate.

"Yes, there are some leftover vegetables at home, which is perfect for making curry," Thor said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work," Kobayashi said with a smile.

As long as Thor doesn't put her tail meat in, she can eat whatever she wants.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work at all," Thor said with a happy smile.

Thor walked back to the kitchen, patted his chest, and said, "That scared me to death! I thought Kobayashi had found out."

"Thor, you're too tense. Relax, you won't be discovered," Xiaoyi said with a smile.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if they get caught. Thor can just eat it back himself. This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.

Curry rice was served one after another. Kobayashi, who had been worried, stared intently at the plates, but unfortunately, there was nothing unusual about them.

Finally, Thor came out carrying a bowl of tempura.

"Oh, Tohru, you can make tempura?" Kobayashi asked in surprise.

Tempura is very popular in Japan. Most people think that tempura is just fried shrimp, but it is actually a general term for fried foods. Specific types include vegetable tempura, seafood tempura, and mixed tempura.

This is similar to the crispy pork in China. It looks like it's fried pork, but sometimes it also includes other ingredients like potatoes, sweet potatoes, eggplants, and peanuts.

However, this time the tempura is not the usual food; it contains Thor's tail meat.

Of course, simply coating the tail meat with egg batter wasn't enough. Thor and the others first minced the tail meat into a paste, and then filtered it with a strainer when it was cooked.

After the remaining meat is detoxified, it is wrapped in perilla leaves, then coated in batter and deep-fried.

In this way, even if some juice accidentally gets into the batter, it can be attributed to the color of the perilla leaves, and Kobayashi probably won't notice.

Of course, this is not the most perfect way, because if Kobayashi eats it in small bites, it is easy to notice the purple meat paste inside the perilla leaf.

However, these are the most effective methods right now, since there are only so many ingredients at home. If Tohru were to go grocery shopping now, she would be questioned by Kobayashi if she went out normally, which would easily expose her.

If he sneaks out, Kobayashi will notice that there are more kinds of food available when they eat. If he asks why he sneaked out, Tohru might give himself away.

"Yes, Xiaoyi just taught me. I didn't do well, please forgive me," Thor said with an embarrassed smile.

Actually, Tohru had already learned how to make tempura, but because she once watched TV and saw a report saying that eating too much fried food is bad for your health, Tohru never made it for Kobayashi in order to keep him healthy.

This time, it was also because she needed to hide the tail meat; otherwise, she wouldn't have done this.

And for this reason, they deliberately make the tempura very small and ugly, basically so that it can be eaten in one bite.

This way, it can be conveniently disguised as Thor having just learned it and not doing it well. Kobayashi won't suspect anything.

"It's already pretty good that you didn't burn it on your first try," Xiaolin encouraged.

As expected, Kobayashi did not suspect anything.

Thor and Xiaoyi exchanged a glance and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's see if Kobayashi finds out when we eat it later.

"Sister Xiaoyi, what are you and Sister Tohru doing so mysteriously?" After Xiaoyi sat down, Tsuchimikado Fuyu leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I'll tell you later." Xiao Yi smiled mysteriously.

She wouldn't tell Tsuchimikado Fuyu right now that part of the reason she helped Tohru was indeed because of Kobayashi, but another part was to benefit Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

After all, even if an Onmyoji is cultivating, they cannot increase their lifespan, so Xiaoyi also wants Tsuchimikado Fuyu to live a few more years.

Now that the opportunity is here, Xiaoyi naturally won't let it slip by.

If Xiaoyi tells Tsuchimikado Tou now, he definitely won't eat the tempura, which would go against her original intention.

Moreover, if Tsuchimikado doesn't eat tempura, there's a risk of exposure.

Therefore, no matter what, Xiaoyi will not tell Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

The plan is in place.

Xiao Yi smiled smugly to herself and invited everyone to start eating.

"Kobayashi, why aren't you guys eating tempura?" After a while, Thor asked anxiously when he noticed that no one except Connor had touched the tempura.

"Um, I don't really like tempura," Kobayashi said apologetically.

“Me too,” Tsuchimikado Touya said.

"But..." Torton panicked immediately. Wasn't this tempura made specifically for Kobayashi and Kofun?

If neither of them eats it, then there's no point in making this dish!

"Xiaolin, Xiaodong, don't be picky about food. This was made with great effort by Tohru-chan. It's all from Tohru-chan's heart," Xiaoyi also advised.

Now that she and Thor have the same goal, she naturally wants to help Thor.

Kobayashi immediately put down his chopsticks and suddenly asked, "Tohru, did you put the tail meat in the tempura?"

"Yes... how could that be? Kobayashi, you're overthinking it. With Koi here, why would I put the tail meat away?"

Xiao Yi sighed and looked at Thor helplessly. Xiao Lin had only asked one question before you self-destructed. You're so useless!

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu heard Tohru's words, his lips twitched. Sure enough, there was something wrong with this tempura.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu was already curious about Kobayashi and Tohru's secretive behavior, especially since Tohru kept staring at Kobayashi's chopsticks. This made Tsuchimikado Fuyu even more curious, which is why he didn't touch the tempura and wanted to observe the situation first.

Unexpectedly, there really was a problem, and it even contained Thor's tail meat. Tsuchimikado Fuyu thought to himself, "Thank goodness I didn't eat that."

Kobayashi stared speechlessly at Tohru and Iori. Good heavens! She almost ate it.

"Thor, I told you, you're not allowed to use tail meat for cooking," Kobayashi said with a serious expression.

"Hi," Thor said with his head down and a regretful look on his face, "but the tail meat is really delicious."

"No matter how delicious it is, it's no good. And you too, Xiaoyi, I asked you to watch Thor, and this is how you watch him? Thor, you might as well finish the tempura yourself!"

"Hi."

Chapter 124 Saga

Japan, Saga.

Looking at this desolate town, Tsuchimikado Fuyu even wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

"Thor, you didn't come to the wrong place, did you?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, looking at Thor beside him.

"No, I won't go to the wrong place," Thor said with a smile.

"Thor-nee, are you coming with us, or are you going back first? But I'll have to ask you to come pick me up again later," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said apologetically.

"Xiaodong, are you going to stay for a long time?"

"Well, I guess I won't be able to go back today."

"I'll head back now. Call me again tomorrow if you need to go back," Thor said with a smile. How could he not go with them to their new house tomorrow?

"Okay, thank you for your help, Sister Thor."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go now, see you tomorrow."

Thor laughed and flew away. Tsuchimikado Fuyu also made a call to the other party, telling him his location and asking him to come and pick him up.

Not long after, a van pulled up, the door opened, and a boy about the same age as Tsuchimikado Fuyu stepped out.

The boy was wearing a black school uniform, looked very young, and had a refined and scholarly appearance.

"Hello, Kotaro Inui," the other person said coldly.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu shook hands with him, "Tsuchimikado Fuyu, this is my older sister, Koi."

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

"no problem."

They walked in silence, but Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Koi kept observing each other. Koi whispered in Tsuchimikado Fuyu's ear, "Fuyu, he smells of decay."

"Rotten?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Koi curiously and asked in confusion.

"Yes, but that's all I can sense; I don't know the specifics."

"It's okay, it's probably related to his wanting to become a zombie," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said softly.

Xiaoyi nodded, but she also became secretly wary of Inui Kotaro. Even if the other party meant no harm, it was always better to be careful.

Soon, the van drove into a villa, European style, like a small castle, but somewhat dilapidated. It looked okay during the day, but at night it gave people a very eerie feeling.
