A cherry blossom petal landed on Nurarihyon's seat.
Simultaneously.
On the table (one) was a sentence that seemed to be written in ink, which made Aoba both laugh and cry.
The food is great, I'll come again next time.
"This old man hasn't paid yet."
Aoba looked at the out-of-season petal and smiled helplessly.
As expected of the Slippery Demon.
They have no qualms about not paying after eating.
"Next time I come, I'll definitely rip you off."
-
Clean up the dining table.
As the first hints of dawn appeared, Qingye stretched.
"Um~~~"
Take a deep breath.
Aoba opened the shop door and turned off the lights that had been on all night.
There weren't many customers left at this time.
However, it lasted all night.
He stood there and bounced around as if to relax.
"Huh? I don't seem too tired yet?"
This estimate also reflects the effect of improved physical fitness.
Despite not sleeping all night and fighting with delinquents and ghouls, I didn't feel tired at all.
It seems that things are slowly getting better for the business.
Feeling that the future was bright, Aoba hummed a little tune as she closed the shop door and went back to the kitchen to clean up.
suddenly.
"Excuse me, is it still possible to eat now?"
A slightly seductive voice rang out in the front hall.
Ok? !
what's the situation?
Didn't I close the door?!
Besides, why would you go to an izakaya at this hour instead of a breakfast shop?
Don't you know that cooks who are about to leave work have the most complaints?
Although Aoba didn't harbor much resentment, he was still quite annoyed that his preparations to leave work had been disrupted.
Aoba peeked out from the kitchen through the curtain.
I could only smell a unique fragrance of mountain hibiscus wafting over.
"you……"
Looking towards the spot where the old man Nurarihyon had been sitting, a girl in a black JK uniform was standing gracefully.
She had long, black hair that reached her waist, and those black eyes that seemed to lack any luster.
It felt as if I was completely enveloped in darkness.
Depression, gloom, aging, death...
It seemed that he saw nothing of the beauty that belonged to her age in this girl.
"Hello, what would you like to eat?"
Seeing this, Aoba, who had empathy, softened her voice considerably.
I was afraid of disturbing her.
But what happened next made Aoba's eyes widen.
The girl, who seemed to emerge from the darkness, smiled slightly in an instant.
Without anyone noticing, they passed directly through the front hall and arrived in front of Qingye.
The corners of her mouth were only slightly curved upwards.
But even Qingye couldn't resist that allure.
"I think..."
"Eat your heart."
Accompanied by gentle words.
A hint of mountain hibiscus fragrance lingered on Aoba's lips.
Chapter 18 Forced by a 'Fox Demon' Girl! Purification?
Black pupils
It also has a delicate fragrance like that of hibiscus.
The thing that burrowed into my mouth like a venomous snake seemed to be frantically plundering everything.
besides...
My body feels so heavy, like I'm being bound by something?
I'm very hungry...
wrong!
I'm so hungry!!
I really want to eat something!!!
My head felt like it was surrounded by something furry.
Under intense hunger.
Aoba struggled to open her eyes.
Wherever the eye catches.
It was pitch black.
Slightly rotate the viewpoint...
A breathtaking white light assaulted his mind.
Not only white.
It also seems to have a unique fragrance that only Yamabuki flowers possess.
This is a judgment that a chef would never make wrong.
Driven by hunger and the instinct for survival, he unconsciously opened his mouth.
oooo~
Hmm... Is this some new dish?
It tastes like bread.
It's very soft and has a slightly bouncy texture.
However, even though he already had a super sense of taste, he still couldn't tell what ingredients were used.
"Hmm~~~"
Suddenly.
A soft humming sound slowly woke Qingye's seemingly malfunctioning brain.
then.
It sounds like something's coming out of my mouth...
This bread even has bursting juice?
Was it made using the method of making soup dumplings?
"No, impossible?!"
"I have clearly succeeded, so why is this still happening..."
Aoba seemed to hear some kind of howl, but before he could figure it out, he heard something else.
suddenly.
He felt a sudden release as a limp body fell directly into his arms.
"Um?!"
Interaction with 'special object' successful
[Awakening Skill 'Purify']
"Interaction...successful?"
Looking at the illusory panel in front of him, Aoba's mind finally came to a complete awakening.
I shouldn't be in the kitchen... with the customers...
I ate you... Black pupils... White tail...
I remembered.
Everything came back to me clearly.
