I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

On the surface of the lake, Yuhaka held the head and shell of a struggling Oni-faced shrimp and showed it off to Elodie. Soon after swimming ashore, Yuhaka, with one hand on his hip, handed the Oni-faced shrimp to Elodie, his large tail swaying like a windmill. Elodie looked at the struggling Oni-faced shrimp in Yuhaka's hand with a blank expression.

After all, this was the first time Elodie had ever seen such a large shrimp. It was about the same size as her arm, right? It should be even bigger, shouldn't it?

Elodie looked at the demon-faced shrimp in Yuhaka's hand with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Is this what we're having for dinner?"

Yuhaka nodded in agreement to Elodie's question, but this was just the main course; after all, it's impossible to eat a whole shrimp, right?

Yuhaka looked at Elodie and asked:

"Elodie, do you want to go into the water and catch some shrimp?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's invitation, Elodie looked somewhat hesitant, since she wasn't very good at swimming and might not be of much help if she went down.

After hearing Elodie explain that she wasn't a very good swimmer, Yuhaka thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers and said to Elodie:

"Youyou has a solution! O▽O~"

As he spoke, Yuhaka seemed to cast some kind of spell on Elodie, and Elodie clearly felt that her perception of the water element had become much stronger. At the same time, Elodie also felt a strong affinity for the water element.

Elodie looked at herself with a puzzled expression and said:

"This is... magic?"

In response to Elodie's question, Yuhaka replied:

"It's a blessing! OwO~ Now Elodie can go swimming and catch big shrimp with Yuuyu~"

Hearing Yuhaka's answer, Elodie looked quite puzzled. After all, Elodie didn't understand what blessing was. But before Elodie could figure it out, Yuhaka waved her little hand and said to Elodie:

"You'll know what it is when Elodie goes into the water with Yoyo~ =w=~"

After hearing Yuhaka's invitation, Elodie thought for a moment and nodded with an "Mmm". Then, Elodie took off her seemingly complicated clothes and, completely naked, followed Yuhaka into the lake. After entering the lake, Elodie found that she felt as if she were on land. Of course, she felt much lighter in the water, as if she could fly out with a jump.

Most importantly, Elodie discovered that she could actually breathe underwater, which shocked her. She was also surprised that she could even speak underwater.

"so amazing......"

Stunned, Elodie was speechless, unable to express her admiration for such a blessing. Meanwhile, Yuhaka, like a fish swimming around Elodie, said:

"Elodie, let's go catch some giant shrimp with Youyou =w=~"

Hearing what Yuhaka said, Elodie nodded to show that she understood. After all, she and Yuhaka came here to collect ingredients, and now Elodie also wanted to try catching shrimp.

Under Elodie's observation, she soon spotted the long whiskers of a demon-faced shrimp hiding in a crevice in the rocks. Elodie's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she bent down to try to catch the shrimp in the crevice. However, because Elodie was too slow, the demon-faced shrimp hiding in the crevice swam away like a rocket, and Elodie didn't seem to have reacted in time.

Behind Elodie, Yuhaka, seeing the rapidly swimming Oni-faced Shrimp, darted like a rocket and grabbed the fleeing shrimp. Holding the shrimp in his hand, Yuhaka said to Elodie behind him:

"Youyou caught it OwO~"

Seeing that Yuhaka had caught the escaped shrimp, Elodie breathed a sigh of relief. Then, rallied, Elodie went to search for the trail of the demon-faced shrimp again.

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

After spending about 20 minutes, Elodie finally caught a monstrous shrimp. Yuhaka, standing to the side, looked relieved, as if seeing her cub finally catch a shrimp. However, Yuhaka doesn't really need to worry about her cub not knowing how to hunt, because Yuhaka's cub can now cooperate to hunt Rathalos.

After catching enough prawns, Yuhaka and Elodie dried themselves off, put their clothes back on, and went home.

Back home, in the kitchen, Yuhaka turned the lively, wriggling prawns into a motionless state, while Elodie watched Yuhaka preparing the ingredients.

Just a few minutes ago, Elodie asked Yuhaka if she could watch her prepare ingredients and cook. Upon hearing Elodie's request, Yuhaka had an "OwO?!" expression on her face, clearly pleased that Elodie wanted to learn to cook from her.

Of course, Elodie also felt that the dishes made with ingredients from Yuhaka could enhance her abilities, so she had the urge to learn them. After all, this was the only place in this world where she could find such ingredients. Back when she arrived in the real world, Elodie had tried to find something that could enhance her abilities, but she had searched for a long time without finding anything. Therefore, Elodie believed that there was nothing in that world that could enhance her abilities.

So Elodie wanted to look for something in the imaginary space of Yuhaka that could improve her abilities, since the meat porridge she made yesterday had already improved her physique a little.

If the dinner that Yuhaka made this time can enhance her abilities again, then it will prove that the things in Yuhaka's imaginary space can enhance one's abilities. At that time, Elodie also plans to train her body and practice magic in Yuhaka's imaginary space, and learn to cook from Yuhaka to improve her abilities, and then punch that mop-headed girl away.

P.S.: With Elodie's weapon, she could indeed reach the level of a sword saint, plus Ehaka also knows the ultimate sword technique.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1201 [Baked Shrimp with Mayonnaise]

In the kitchen, Yuhaka removed the inedible internal organs and veins from the motionless giant white shrimp and rinsed them clean with water. Since Yuhaka selected mostly female shrimp, these giant white shrimp had a lot of roe under their bodies, which would be quite delicious to eat. It seems they had just caught the breeding season for giant white shrimp.

After Yuhaka removed the shrimp roe, he placed it in a bowl before using it. Then, Yuhaka took out Esther, which had turned into a cleaver, and removed the unwanted shrimp legs and whiskers. He then cut the back shell and part of the meat in half, and then spread the meat out like a butterfly. Yuhaka processed the remaining two shrimp in the same way.

Elodie, standing to the side, looked at Yuhaka's method with a puzzled expression. For Elodie, her method was basically to prepare the ingredients and then directly stick them on the grill to roast them. Yuhaka's method made Elodie a little confused. Wasn't Yuhaka's method a little too troublesome?

Afterwards, Yuhaka placed the prepared prawns on a baking tray and put them in the oven. Seeing Yuhaka's actions, Elodie looked at Yuhaka curiously and asked:

"Youyou, what is that?"

Hearing Elodie's question, Yuhaka glanced at his oven and explained to Elodie:

"That's Youyou's oven, OwO/~"

"oven?"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Elodie tilted her head in confusion. However, Elodie generally understood that the metal box in front of her that could glow inside was used to bake food. But she didn't know exactly what it meant to bake directly with fire, since she had never come into contact with such a high-tech product before. She generally thought that the oven was some kind of magical tool.

Of course, Elodie didn't ask, and Yuhaka didn't explain the principle behind it either. Even if she had asked, Yuhaka only knew that ovens were used to bake food, and she didn't know anything about other uses.

While the prepared prawns were baking in the oven, Yuhaka was also preparing other ingredients. Yuhaka took out a large bowl and placed it on the table. Then, she took out some salad dressing and squeezed a dollop into the bowl. Next, she cracked two egg yolks into the bowl, added the prawn roe she had previously removed to enhance the texture, and then added a little bit of white sugar, as Yuhaka likes a slightly sweet taste.

Finally, after adding a tiny bit of wasabi, Yuhaka stirred the contents of the bowl well. Soon after stirring, the prawns were baked in the oven. Yuhaka took the prawns out of the oven and spread the mixed mayonnaise on top of the baked prawns. After spreading it, he put the prawns back into the oven to bake.

After a while, with the oven "dinging", Yuhaka knew that the prawns were done. So Yuhaka took out the baked prawns and added a little garnish on top. In this way, the three servings of mayonnaise baked prawns were completed.

Looking at the mayonnaise-baked shrimp that Yuhaka had made, Elodie felt that Yuhaka was like a magician. To be honest, Elodie felt that it would probably take her some time to learn how to make it.

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

At the dining table in the living room, Elodie held a spoon and looked at the mayonnaise-baked shrimp in front of her. Since she didn't know how to use chopsticks, Elodie had to use a spoon. Of course, Elodie had also tried using the chopsticks that Yuhaka and the others had, but at first Elodie didn't know how to use them very well. After a while, Elodie was able to learn how to use them.

For now, let's use a spoon.

After the meal was served, Elodie picked up her spoon and scooped out a piece of mayonnaise and shrimp meat from her wooden plate. The sight of the mayonnaise mixed with shrimp roe and a little bit of red color in her spoon made Elodie feel novel. After all, it was the first time Elodie had seen such food. Just like the meat porridge she had eaten before, these were all dishes that Elodie had never made before, which made Elodie feel very curious.

After Elodie put the food from the spoon into her mouth, the tender and silky texture of the shrimp meat was fully appreciated. The mayonnaise spread on the yohaka also had a slightly sweet taste and was not too greasy. The shrimp roe also provided a nice texture, which made Elodie's eyes light up.

"tasty......"

=w=~

Hearing Elodie's words, Yuhaka naturally adopted a haughty attitude, while Esther, standing to the side, poked Yuhaka's stomach with a slightly jealous look and said:

"Master Youyou, how was I doing in the kitchen...?"

"Estelle, not bad, OwO/~"

After hearing Esther's words, Yuhaka turned around and patted Esther's head in praise. Esther tilted her head and squinted her eyes. Watching Yuhaka and Esther interact, Elodie couldn't help but feel a little envious. This reminded her of the dolls her grandmother made for her. This made Elodie decide that while studying and patrolling, she would also make her own dolls.

After finishing their meal, Yuhaka took Elodie and Esther to a nearby hot spring for a bath, and then they went to rest.

...In the real world, the location of the capital of Japan...

At the location of a sewer opening, Muzan Kibutsuji crawled out. Muzan Kibutsuji was in a terrible state. Although he had no external injuries, nearly a quarter of his hair had turned white. Muzan Kibutsuji himself could feel that his body was becoming weak, which was obviously caused by the woman from before.

At first, Muzan Kibutsuji thought his opponent had no ability to harm him, since only Sun Breathing and the sun could effectively hurt him. However, when the strange shadow of his opponent came over, Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly felt something in his body begin to disappear. This frightened Muzan Kibutsuji, so he quickly split himself into more than a thousand pieces and fled. Afterwards, Muzan Kibutsuji felt that his cautious actions had saved his life.

After his clone was devoured by that shadow, Muzan Kibutsuji could clearly feel that one of his clones had disappeared. At the same time, Muzan Kibutsuji also felt as if he had lost something. The more clones were devoured, the more clearly Muzan Kibutsuji could feel his body losing something.

Kibutsuji Muzan was thankful that he had split into two clones quickly; otherwise, if he had been devoured by that eerie shadow, he would have surely died.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1202 [You're a Mature Keyboard Now, Time to Type Your Own Words]

After being attacked by Kurumi Tokisaki, Muzan Kibutsuji no longer dared to underestimate this world. At least until his body recovered, Muzan Kibutsuji would not come out for the time being. At the same time, Muzan Kibutsuji also planned to gather a group of subordinates.

As Muzan Kibutsuji left, a red light resembling three eyes flashed in the shadows in the distance before disappearing.

.....................In a villa somewhere in Tokyo.....................

late at night......

Through a crack, the white-haired girl in military uniform, Altair, entered a room in the villa. Upon returning to her room, Altair heard the clattering sound of a mechanical keyboard. Looking in the direction of the sound, Altair saw a keyboard that no one was using moving on its own, while on a nearby screen, text was appearing in a doc document.

Altair, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but feel ashamed. Although it wasn't the first time he had seen such a scene, it still looked very eerie.

Altair clearly understood that the purple-haired girl had spoken to the keyboard:

"You're a mature keyboard user now; you should learn to type out your own novels."

At first, Altair thought the purple-haired girl was just tired from typing and was complaining to the keyboard, but the next second, when Altair saw the keyboard and started typing herself, he couldn't hold back his expression either.

This is absolutely outrageous!

It was at this moment that Altair heard the sound of the door being opened. When he turned around, he saw a girl with long purple hair holding a bag of potato chips and looking at him.

"Ah~ Al-chan, you're back~ BB-chan missed you so much~"

The purple-haired girl seemed about to pounce, but Altair pressed her cheek down and said:

“Miss BB, I don’t remember how long I’ve been gone, and we’re not that close. Also, please don’t call me Al-chan.”

Upon hearing Altair's words, the purple-haired girl, referred to as BB, naturally pouted and said angrily:

"Waaah... Altair, you heartless man..."

Then BB suddenly seemed to change his expression, smiling as he looked at Altair and said:

"Alright, enough of the frolicking for now. So, Altair, how's the new Melody ability?"

Hearing BB's words, Altair breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, BB's appearance just now was quite troublesome for Altair. When BB asked about the new musical ability, Altair looked at his palm and said:

"Hmm... Although it works, deportation can still occur."

The repatriation phenomenon Altair refers to here is the disappearance of the summoned target when it dies or, in other words, dies in terms of information. When that phenomenon occurs, anything related to the summoned target will disappear without a trace, except for any traces left by the summoned target, eyewitness reports, and related records.

After hearing Altair's explanation, BB, while munching on potato chips, thought for a moment and said:

"Hmm, I see... I think it's probably caused by the world's repulsive force."

Although he didn't understand what BB meant by repulsion, Altair still crossed his arms and said with a cold expression:

"Is there a way to solve?"

Regarding Altair's question, BB spread his hands to indicate that there was no problem and said:

"That's no problem at all. As long as you add some elements to your piece that the 'audience' finds reasonable, it shouldn't be a problem at all."

After hearing BB's explanation, Altair nodded to show that he understood. Unlike in his original world, when he first came to this world, he could only use five movements at most: the third movement [Expression and Display], the ninth movement [Causal Restoration], the thirteenth movement [Summary of Origins], the twentieth movement [Causal Replication], and the twenty-third movement [Causal Reconstruction].

As for why, the reason is quite simple. After all, only a few of the musical pieces that he displayed in the original work are known to people. But now it's different. According to the fan works that BB wrote for him, the ability of his musical pieces is being restored, although he hasn't used some of these pieces.

Then, BB, as if remembering something, said to Altair:

"By the way, Altair, this is the voting option for readers to see the characters they want to see in the next part of the story."
