I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

The sudden, rocket-like roar startled the monsters and the white-haired hunter who were engaged in battle. Clearly, the unexpected sound caught the white-haired hunter and the glowing monster off guard. Meanwhile, the cat companion, seeing the "star" emitting a crimson-black light in the distance, shouted to warn the white-haired hunter.

Hearing her cat's voice, the white-haired hunter saw the crimson-black twin-tailed comet flying towards them from a distance. She quickly grabbed her cat and rushed towards the underground river. When the crimson-black twin-tailed comet landed, the huge impact swept around, and the white-haired hunter and her cat were also affected by the impact. Fortunately, because they were in front of the underground river, they were not greatly affected and fell into the river.

Those ancient dragons that are hit by the eerie glowing light are doomed.

The opponent let out a scream as if it had been hit by a huge rocket punch, and the floor, unable to bear the weight, cracked. Then, the ancient dragon monster, which emitted a ghostly glow on the rock floor, and Yuhaka fell into the large hole below.

The white-haired hunter, who had been thrown into the underground river by the impact, surfaced to see what was happening. She then saw the Elder Dragon monster she had just fought and the monster with an "OowoO?" look on its face fall into the ground with a "whoosh".

The white-haired hunter was completely bewildered by what she saw, clearly not knowing why she felt like laughing at the sight.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka and the Elder Dragon monster that had fallen into the Great Hollow were also fighting in mid-air. Yuhaka clearly sensed the predatory look in Yuhaka's eyes, which made it feel scared. After all, Yuhaka was larger than it, and it had only recently absorbed the energy of the ley lines and had not yet fully evolved into its mature form. It dared not fight against other large Elder Dragon monsters, especially since Yuhaka seemed to be quite formidable.

As the massive object crashed to the ground, Yhaka used it as a cushion to mitigate much of the impact, while the other object fared much worse. Although Yhaka was much larger than its opponent, Yhaka was more resistant to impact, and this height had little effect on it.

After landing, the opponent quickly reacted and sprayed blue and white flames at Eunhaka, but Eunhaka's rocket uppercut knocked the opponent's head to the side.

Volume 2 [Slice of Life - Part 1]: Chapter 1619 [The Glowing Flesh]

Located in the underground ley lines of the New World, Yhaka fought the monster that emitted a ghostly glow. Although the location of the underground ley lines was very advantageous for the monster, it was still somewhat insignificant against Yhaka, a flexible, high-attack, and high-defense hexagonal warrior. After all, Yhaka was much more adapted to its body shape than the monster, which had just been born and had not yet adapted.

As Yuhaka performed a somersault like a celestial dragon to dodge the opponent's blue flame breath, the huge tail blade on Yuhaka's tail also slashed upwards along with Yuhaka's somersault. The monster was unable to dodge in time and was cut open. After all, its carapace had not yet fully grown, and it seemed insignificant in the face of Yuhaka's physical attack.

If this weren't an underground ley line location, this Elder Dragon would probably die from its injuries quickly because it wouldn't have enough ley lines to heal itself.

As for why Ehaka doesn't use dragon-attribute breath to deal with enemies, it's because his dragon-attribute energy affects the texture and taste of his prey when attacking it. This is something Ehaka is reluctant to see, since the prey is food he's never seen before, and it wouldn't be good to waste it like that. Who knows when he'll be able to catch another one?

With its massive wings forming huge fists, Yhaka unleashed a barrage of left and right hooks at the Elder Dragon monster before it, leaving the opponent dazed and disoriented. Simultaneously, the armor-like scales on Yhaka's forepaws rained down rocket punches on the Elder Dragon monster, rendering it virtually defenseless. After all, as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, not to mention Yhaka also had a large tail behind it.

As Yuhaka continued his rampage, the surrounding ley line energy was completely absorbed by the Elder Dragon monster, leaving it unable to use ley line energy to heal its injuries.

In the end, the opponent was also worn down and killed by Yhaka, and the king of the ancient dragons was strangled in his cradle.

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

At the site where the white-haired hunter and the Elder Dragon monster were fighting, the Grand Master and the Commander-in-Chief of the Survey Corps looked at the bottomless abyss before them, seemingly at a loss for words.

The two turned to the white-haired hunter who was inspecting his weapons and asked:

"Did that unknown monster really fall down along with the strange ancient dragon species we discovered before?"

Regarding the two's questions, the white-haired hunter nodded in affirmation and said:

"Yes, just like I said before, the ancient dragon species we discovered earlier was suddenly attacked by the strange ancient dragon species we found during our exploration of the New World. The specific reason is not clear. Before I could observe them carefully, they fell down."

"Yeah........."

Hearing the white-haired hunter's explanation, the Grand Master and Commander-in-Chief were at a loss for words. Just then, several pterosaurs carrying people flew up from the vast, abyss-like void. After the sword master jumped off the pterosaurs, the Grand Master and Commander-in-Chief led the group to approach them and inquired:

"Master, what's the situation down there?"

Regarding the question about the Grand Master, the swordsmanship master shook his head and said:

"We didn't see those two unidentified ancient dragons. All that's left are traces of a battle, some bloodstains, a fragment of the glowing carapace, and some other remnants. They probably ate them."

Upon hearing the sword master's words, the mascot girl, who appeared to be a Deviljho cub, looked at the sword master with a surprised expression and said:

"So, does that mean they're here to prey on that monster that looks like an Elder Dragon? It feels a bit like the Bone Dragon and the Nergigante..."

Upon hearing the signboard girl's words, the dragon hunter standing nearby frowned and said:

"Although we've dealt with one terrifying being, another is equally dangerous. If we don't investigate it thoroughly, we won't be able to sleep or eat in peace..."

Hearing the dragon hunter's words, everyone present felt a heaviness in their hearts. Seeing the somber atmosphere, the guild leader spoke up to comfort them:

"Well... in any case, one problem has been solved by another, which is good news. And before we figure out the other monster's information, let's take a good rest and start the investigation tomorrow!"

Hearing the commander's words, everyone felt a little relieved, and the commander-in-chief nodded in agreement, saying:

"That's right. In any case, we've taken care of one of the dangerous Elder Dragons. We still need to investigate the unknown monster on the other side before we can make a decision. Anyway, let's send the information to the Hunter's Guild headquarters first and let them have a headache."

Upon hearing the commander-in-chief's words, the hunters present couldn't help but laugh.

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

While the hunters were feasting, Yuhaka and her friends were staring blankly at the glowing meat in front of them. Grandma Cat, watching from the kitchen, looked at the lean meat radiating a pale blue light and said to Yuhaka:

"Sorry, meow, child, this is the first time I've ever seen this kind of ingredient. Most people probably can't eat it, meow, so please don't give it to ordinary people, meow."

Hearing what the kitchen cat grandma said, Yuhaka nodded to show that he understood. Then he made the lump of meat into sashimi to try. As for why he made it into sashimi... well, Yuhaka saw that the other side looked like a fish from the deep sea, so Yuhaka wanted to try making it into sashimi.

After cutting the meat on the cutting board, Yuhaka picked up a piece of meat with her little hand and chewed it. Although it tasted like eating squid sashimi, this kind of meat was chewier and could move around. However, it was nutritious enough, even though the taste wasn't great.

After dipping the meat in soy sauce and tasting it, Yuhaka felt the flavor was just average. It seemed that this meat wasn't really suitable for sashimi, which made Yuhaka think about how to cook it.

Yuhaka also plans to name this meat "Glowing Meat".

Lost in thought, Yuhaka returned to the modern city. Not knowing what to do, Yuhaka wandered around the city aimlessly. Originally, Miruko wanted to follow Yuhaka, but unfortunately, she was captured by Jilin.

However, Yuhaka soon smelled a fragrant, but somewhat strange, aroma. She quickly arrived at a maid cafe. Sniffing her nose, she determined the scent was coming from there and pushed open the door. She then heard a female employee dressed in a strange maid outfit speak to her:

"Welcome, young lady~"

"OwO?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, a small question mark appeared on Yuhaka's head. She clearly didn't understand why the shop assistant was suddenly calling her "Miss".

Before the shop assistant could say anything, the doorbell rang again, and then Yuhaka heard Nia Honjo's voice.

"Huh? Little Youyou?"

Yuhaka turned around and saw Honjou Nia looking surprised. She was wearing a casual outfit that was somewhat unisex, and she had glasses on her nose. She was also carrying several bags containing posters, comic books, and CDs. It was clear that Honjou Nia had just gone to buy ACG works from this world, obviously wanting to understand the level of ACG culture in this world.

"22 is good OwO/~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's greeting, Nia Honjou looked unsure of what to say, while the female shop assistant beside them looked embarrassed and asked:

"Um... are you two together?"

Volume 2 [Slice of Life - Part 1]: Chapter 1620 [The Maid Cafe with a Sudden Change in Art Style]

Inside the maid cafe, Yuhaka and Nia Honjou sat together. After putting her things down, Nia Honjou looked at Yuhaka and asked:

"How strange... I never expected you, Xiao Youyou, to come to a place like this. By the way, what are you doing here, Xiao Youyou?"

Upon hearing Nia's question, Yuhaka raised her hand and said:

"Youyou smelled something sweet, so she came over to see what it was. It smells really good! OwO/~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's answer, Nia Honjou's lips twitched slightly as she said:

"Yes, indeed... only food can attract you here, little Youyou..."

=w= Hoohoo~

Yuhaka, upon hearing Nia Honjou's words, stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite smug. Nia Honjou, seeing Yuhaka's demeanor, was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. She had originally come because Yuhaka was interested in maids, but it seemed she was simply attracted by the food here. Well... although she had come to this maid cafe specifically for the food.

"Is there anything you and the young lady would like?"

After the maid who accompanied them came over to ask Yuhaka and the others something, Yuhaka's attention was drawn away by the maid, and Honjou Nia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then Honjou Nia said to the maid:

"Then please give us both our signature dishes."

Upon hearing Nia Honjou's words, the maid nodded and said she understood before heading to the kitchen. After she left, Yuhaka looked at Nia Honjou with an "OwO?" expression and asked:

"Er'er, what good food does this shop have?"

Regarding the question about Yuhaka, Nia Honjo stroked her chin and said:

"I'm not entirely sure about that either, but I came to check it out after seeing the special dishes listed on the maid cafe's flyer. Online reviews say that the special dishes at this maid cafe have overwhelmingly positive feedback, so I was quite curious to come and see for myself."

Upon hearing Nia Honjou's words, Yuhaka also showed an OoO expression, indicating that it was incredible. Soon, the maid brought over two plates of omelet rice. After the maid brought the omelet rice over, Yuhaka and Nia Honjou looked at the omelet rice in front of them with puzzled expressions. No matter how they looked at it, they didn't think there was anything special about the omelet rice in front of them.

Just as the two were wondering, the maid at the shop nearby said to Nia Honjo and Yuhaka:

"Well then, Master and Miss, now I'm going to cast my magic to make things delicious~"

Upon hearing the maid's words, Honjou Nia saw Yuhaka looking at her with a bright, sparkling expression, clearly believing the maid's childish nonsense. Honjou Nia felt disdain for this, as she had seen this kind of thing many times before. Apart from otaku, basically no one would care about this, right?

Oh, right, she's a total otaku too.

Soon, when the maid took out a black cardboard with a magic circle printed on it from her apron, Honjou Nia's eyes widened in surprise. Clearly, Honjou Nia had never seen such magic that "made the omelet rice taste better." Usually, maids would make embarrassing gestures and use spells.

As the maid's expression changed, she immediately began chanting an incantation that was difficult to decipher.

"Dedicated before the Shadow Lord who rules the world, through evil means to transform decay into wonder, praying for abundance and fulfillment..."

Hearing the maid's incantation, which didn't fit the typical cute and quirky style of a maid shop, Nia Honjou stared in disbelief. Yuhaka, standing to the side, also wore an expression that said, "I don't know what's going on, but it's really amazing O▽O".

After the maid finished chanting the incantation, Nia Honjo and Yuhaka looked at the strange, purplish-red sauce emanating from their omelets. The maid, standing nearby, smiled and said to them:

"Then, please enjoy your meal, Master and Miss~"

With that, the maid left, leaving behind a stunned Nia Honjou and Yuhaka. After the maid left, Nia Honjou wiped the cold sweat from her brow and said in disbelief:

"This maid cafe really does have some unique features..."

Then, when Nia Honjou turned her attention to Yuhaka, she saw Yuhaka pick up a spoon, scoop a spoonful of the omelet rice with the strange sauce, and stuff it into her mouth. Seeing this, Nia Honjou quickly stopped Yuhaka and said:

"Wait! Youyou, don't you think something's wrong with this thing?!"

"OoO?"

Upon hearing Nia Honjou's words, Yuhaka stared at her with her mouth agape. She couldn't detect any harmful substances in the food, which puzzled her greatly. To Nia Honjou's astonishment, Yuhaka shoved the spoon into her mouth and ate it in one gulp.

Seeing Yuhaka take a bite of the omelet rice with the strange sauce, Honjou Nia stared in disbelief, clearly not expecting Yuhaka to actually eat it. Then, seeing Yuhaka's (＝～＝)～ expression, it was clear that the omelet rice with the strange sauce suited Yuhaka's taste.

Seeing this, Nia Honjou looked at Yuhaka with some confusion and asked:

"Um, Xiaoyou, is this omelet rice okay?"

Hearing Nia Honjou's strange question, Yuhaka looked at her with an "O~O?" expression, then scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Nia Honjou, saying:

"Er Er, ah~ OwO~"

Seeing the spoon handed to her by Yuhaka, Nia Honjou stared at the omelet rice emitting a strange aura, unsure of what to say. However, seeing that Yuhaka seemed to be eating it without any problems, she figured it probably wasn't too bad. Besides, other people here also ate these things without any issues, so she figured she should be fine too.

Thinking this, Nia Honjou ate the omelet rice that Yuhaka handed her with a mixture of trepidation and curiosity. Then, tasting the strange flavor, she looked somewhat surprised and said:

"Hmm?! The taste is surprisingly good..."

"It's delicious, right? ~OwO~"

After seeing Nia Honjou eat, Yuhaka twisted her body and said the same thing to Nia Honjou. Seeing Yuhaka twisting like a snake, Nia Honjou didn't know what to say. But at this moment, Nia Honjou suddenly remembered that the spoon that Yuhaka had just handed her seemed to have been eaten by Yuhaka.

Honjou Nia was stunned for a moment, but she quickly put on a nonchalant expression. After all, they were just kids, so it didn't matter. Yuhaka also didn't care about these things.

"But speaking of which, was what the maid clerk just did magic?"
