I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

This is also what made the Magnificent Tiger Dragon the instigator of the Hundred Dragons Night Parade. Therefore, Yuuko asked Yuhaka about the whereabouts of the Magnificent Tiger Dragon. Upon hearing Yuuko's question, Yuhaka gave a somewhat unpleasant look and said:

"Hmm, it doesn't taste good. =-=......."

Just as Ehaka said, the meat of the Spectral Tiger Dragon wasn't very tasty. After all, Ehaka didn't know how to get rid of the gas canister-like smell in the Spectral Tiger Dragon meat, which made Ehaka feel very sorry.

Hearing Yuhaka's regretful tone, Yuriko looked at Yuhaka with an expression that said she didn't know what to say. She obviously didn't expect Yuhaka to say that Yuhaka was not tasty.

A slightly embarrassed Yuuko scratched her cheek and said:

"Yes, is that so...?"

Although it was a bit awkward, Yuuki roughly knew that the Spectral Tiger Dragon had become Yuhaka's food. However, Yuuki was also curious: was the flesh of the Spectral Tiger Dragon really that bad?

"By the way, Youyou, are you here to deliver goods?"

Upon hearing Yuuki's question, Yuhaka nodded and said:

"Yeah, the person was worried about the lost item, so Youyou returned it~ OwO~"

As she spoke, Yuhaka wriggled her hands, which made her look very strange. Yuuki didn't know what to say. After chatting for a while, Ai Cao finished making the bunny dumplings. Then Yuhaka saw Ai Cao show off several bamboo skewers that looked like forks. Ai Cao then performed by skewering the dumplings through the air with the bamboo skewers. Then, the Palico jumped up and used a wooden plate to stop the skewered dumplings. Soon, Ai Cao and the others decorated the dumplings with sesame seeds and made an expression on them.

"The bunny dumplings are ready! Please enjoy!"

"You're welcome, Youyou~"

As Ai Cao served the prepared dumplings, Yuhaka looked at them with curiosity. Unlike the dumplings he had seen in Japan, these dumplings were much larger than those on Earth, and they also seemed to taste a little different. Curious, Yuhaka picked up a string of rabbit dumplings. He then realized why Ai Cao called them rabbit dumplings.

Because the bamboo skewers that look like forks on the dumplings look like rabbit ears, and with the addition of mugwort, the dumplings look even more like rabbits. That's probably why the mugwort calls these dumplings "rabbit dumplings".

Although it was cute, Yuhaka didn't hesitate to stuff it into his mouth. While curiously looking at the appearance under Yuhaka's mask, Ai Cao saw that the mouth part of Yuhaka's mask was open. Then, with a bewildered expression, Ai Cao watched as Yuhaka stuffed a string of dumplings into it and then ate one to taste it.

As the matcha and sweetness spread through her mouth, Yuhaka couldn't help but squint her eyes. The soft and chewy glutinous rice balls and the sandy red bean paste tasted quite good to Yuhaka. They weren't too sweet, which Yuhaka really liked.

The second dumpling tasted completely different from the first one. It had a herbal bitterness, but it wasn't too bitter because of the honey. This prevented the herbal bitterness from becoming too strong, neutralizing some of the bitterness and making the taste more palatable.

Yuuko, who was eating a rabbit dumpling nearby, looked at the green rabbit dumpling in her hand and said:

"Artemisia, is this a herbal dumpling?"

Hearing Yuuko's question, Ai Cao nodded at her and said:

"That's right~ it's herbal dumplings, but this time I added honey to reduce the bitterness. How about it, not bad, right?"

Yuli nodded in agreement with her idea about mugwort, since she didn't really like bitter things, and adding some honey made the bitter taste much milder.

Hearing the conversation between Yuuki and Ai Cao, Yuhaka looked at Ai Cao with curiosity and asked:

"Can herbs be used to make dumplings?"

Although Yuhaka doesn't particularly like bitter herbs, it's quite impressive that the other person could make such dumplings.

Regarding Yuhaka's question, Ai Cao nodded and said:

"Of course, there is no problem. The juice is made by squeezing out the herbs, filtering out the residue, and then adding it to the glutinous rice flour and mixing it evenly."

Upon hearing what Ai Cao said, Yuhaka looked at her with an expression of "I see," clearly not expecting it to be done this way. This method allowed him to try many different dishes, and Ai Cao's approach also allowed him to try other cooking methods.

After eating the last dumpling covered in white sesame seeds, Yuhaka suddenly discovered that it actually had filling inside. This caused Yuhaka to make an "O~O?" expression, clearly unsure whether it was a dumpling or a glutinous rice ball. Of course, because Yuhaka was wearing a cat headgear, no one else could see his expression.

But if the other party can do that, then it means that dumplings can also be filled, right?

After a while, Yuhaka and the others finished eating the rabbit dumplings made with mugwort. Yuhaka left as well. Although Yuriko wanted to keep Yuhaka for dinner, Yuhaka said she had to cook for her family and left. Yuriko naturally didn't stop her.

After Yuhaka left, Fuxian, the village chief of Yanhuo Village, came to Yulizi and asked her:

"Yuko, what have you decided about that child?"

Upon hearing Puxian's words, Yuuko looked at him with a puzzled expression and said:

"Huh? How is it? Nothing's wrong. Isn't Youyou quite well-behaved?"

Upon hearing Yuuko's words, Puxian paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, patted Yuuko's head, and left. Even after Puxian left, Yuuko looked at the village chief of Yanhuo Village with a puzzled expression, wondering why he had laughed so heartily.

Volume 2 [Daily Life - Part 1]: Chapter 1631 [The New House is Finished! OwO]

After returning home, Yuhaka cooked with the kitchen cats. Although Yuhaka could leave the work to the kitchen cats, he still quite enjoyed cooking with them, since that way he could openly steal food.

Uh... it's less like stealing food and more like sampling it, isn't it?

After all, the kitchen cats always give the dishes they've made to Yuhaka for tasting. This is because Yuhaka has a very keen sense of taste and can detect the flaws in the dishes. The kitchen cats can then find these flaws in Yuhaka's evaluation and make improvements. Of course, before giving Yuhaka the dishes they've made, the kitchen cats will still taste them themselves first to avoid the dishes being too bad and being thrown out of the kitchen by Yuhaka.

Yuhaka looked at the dish in front of him with curiosity. In front of Yuhaka was an oval-shaped ball with a shrimp tail sticking out. It looked like a fried shrimp, but it was different from fried shrimp. The outer layer of this shrimp was wrapped in a thick layer of golden thread-like ingredients, which looked a bit like fried potato shreds. Seeing this, Yuhaka thought of something. There was no doubt that this was the Golden Thread Shrimp Ball from Ying's recipe for Yuhaka.

Curious, Yuhaka circled the golden shrimp balls in front of him a few times. After observing them, Yuhaka picked up a shrimp ball with his chopsticks and smelled it. He could smell the aroma of fried potato shreds. When Yuhaka put the shrimp ball in his mouth and took a bite, the first thing he saw was the crispy fried potato shreds, followed by the soft and glutinous mashed potatoes, and then the chewy shrimp meat.

"O~Ooooooo~"

As Yuhaka chewed, a crisp, crunchy sound came from his mouth. After swallowing, Yuhaka gave a thumbs-up to the kitchen cat making the shrimp balls and said:

"Hmm, not bad! OwOd~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, the kitchen cat who was making the golden shrimp balls breathed a sigh of relief, indicating that the preparation was successful. Yuhaka then felt that the flavor was a bit lacking, so he picked up the special ketchup from the side, dipped a little in the ketchup, and put it in his mouth. Yuhaka also felt that the flavor was much better after adding a little ketchup, probably because fried potatoes are very suitable for dipping in ketchup.

After preparing dinner for the day, Yuhaka went to call the others to eat.

While they were eating, Ji Lin asked Tokisaki Kurumi and the others what they had been doing that day. Tokisaki Kurumi had gone to look for a job, since she couldn't keep asking Yuhaka and the others for money. In any case, she just needed to find a simple job to earn money.

With the ability to create clones of Tokisaki Kurumi, she was able to find a large number of part-time jobs. Although she didn't earn much money, there were many of them, so making money was not a problem.

Meanwhile, Nia Honjou is buying otaku merchandise while also preparing to draw her manga and submit it again. Elodie and Medea Lily are in charge of kitchen work at the Meru Cat Restaurant in Yuhaka, while Meluki and Abigail are also working at the Meru Cat Restaurant in Yuhaka as staff, responsible for handling restaurant hygiene and serving food.

Yoshino, Jack, and Miyu Sakuzuki don't need to go to school. After all, they are children, and they can go to school if they want. Yoshino and the others are considering this, since two of them have never been to school, and the other has already graduated from university, so they basically don't need to go to school anymore.

Ji Lin and Youhaka were not made to make a choice in a hurry, after all, Youhaka and the others had never been to school.

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

After a long day of hard work, the Merlin Cat Restaurant in Ehaka was rebuilt the next day. Normally, it wouldn't be completed so quickly, but thanks to Medea Lily's divine magic and Bronya's technology, the Merlin Cat Restaurant in Ehaka was built very quickly.

The newly built Meru Cat Restaurant occupies more than twice the area of ​​the previous Meru Cat Restaurant. As for the location it occupies, it naturally occupies the surrounding buildings. Of course, these buildings were bought by Yuhaka and her friends, since money is very useful in most worlds.

The place where Yuhaka lives now is connected to the Meru Cat Restaurant. The Meru Cat Restaurant is on the first floor, and the floors above the second floor are Yuhaka's living quarters. Because the area has been expanded, there is a lot more space upstairs, which can accommodate more and larger furniture. Ji Lin also plans to replace the bed with a larger and sturdier one, otherwise Yuhaka might accidentally destroy it.

Ji Lin was also considering having the cat use monster materials to create a bed, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to withstand Xiao Youyou's rising star impact.

Besides the spacious living floors, there are also many other facility floors, such as bathrooms, magic workshops, and playrooms, all with considerable space.

Meanwhile, there is also a rooftop garden, where Yuhaka's fruits and vegetables, as well as Medea Lily's special materials, are grown.

The basement connects to the Ancient Tower in Monster Hunter World and other worlds, making it easier for Yuhaka and her companions to get around.

Thanks to Medea Lily, the building has also been transformed into a large magic workshop. If attacked, Medea Lily's magic can effectively block enemy attacks, giving everyone some time to retaliate.

If there is danger, the Melu Cat Restaurant can also infiltrate the imaginary space to avoid enemies.

From a high-rise building in the distance, Ilulu was looking at the Meru Cat Restaurant where Yuhaka and the others were. Ilulu had tried to find Yuhaka before, but unfortunately, for some reason, Ilulu always felt that Yuhaka had disappeared, which made Ilulu wonder if the other party had returned to their world.

Of course, Ilulu did not suspect that the other party had gone back out of fear of her. Ilulu was self-aware. In the previous battle, although neither of them had transformed into their dragon forms, the strength the other party displayed was enough to suppress her. If they had transformed into their dragon forms, Ilulu doubted that she might not have been able to defeat them.

Although at that time the opponent at least pulled out a strange cat paw to attack her and couldn't do much harm, that thing still hurt quite a bit when it hit. Moreover, Ilulu felt that the opponent was humiliating her dragon clan's dignity, which made Ilulu grit her teeth at Yuhaka. However, Ilulu quickly suppressed her anger, after all, Ilulu knew that getting angry was useless, and getting angry would only make her easier to deal with.

However, at that moment, Ilulu's eyes lit up when she saw Yuhaka and Jilin coming out of the restaurant next door. Earlier, Ilulu had found the building with the powerful magical energy source a bit strange, and she suspected that the building was where Yuhaka lived. Now that Yuhaka and Jilin came out of there, Ilulu felt that she had finally found Yuhaka.

But Ilulu stopped her from looking for Yhaka. Ilulu squinted at Ji Lin, who was chatting and laughing with Yhaka, and felt a little displeased. Thor was being followed by humans, and Yhaka was also being followed by humans. This made Ilulu quite unhappy. After all, for the Chaos faction of dragons, humans were their irreconcilable enemies. The Chaos faction would basically destroy any human cities they encountered.

Of course, outliers like Thor are different. Although Yhaka is also a member of the Chaos faction, Thor doesn't have the same hatred for humans as Iluru.

Ilulu was both annoyed and puzzled by Yuhaka and Jilin's actions of being together, which aroused her curiosity.

P.S.: I checked out the new Arknights event a bit, so I'm updating late. Sorry.

Volume 2 [Daily Life Arc - 1]: Chapter 1632 [Ilulu's Question]

On a street, Yuhaka and Jilin were on their way to the supermarket. Although their new house had been built, it was not very furnished. However, the furniture issue was basically left to Merlin and Bronya, since Bronya and the others were more familiar with appliances. So Yuhaka and Jilin didn't get involved.

Now, Yuhaka and Jilin are preparing kitchen utensils and appliances. After all, the kitchen is bigger, which means they can put more appliances in it, and they can make more delicious food, which makes Yuhaka very excited.

But at that moment, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Yuhaka and Jilin. Yuhaka and Jilin looked at the figure in front of them with some surprise.

"Iruru?!"

"OwO?!"

The figure that landed in front of Yuhaka and the others was Ilulu herself. Ilulu glanced at Ji Lin and then pointed at him, saying:

"Hey! You black-haired human, why are you living with a dragon? Aren't you afraid of dragons?"

"Hi?"

Upon hearing Ilulu's words, Ji Lin tilted her head and looked at her with a blank expression, clearly unable to understand what Ilulu meant by asking such a question right away. However, after Ji Lin shifted her gaze to Yuhaka beside her and saw the other's blank expression, Ji Lin felt no fear at all. Instead, she looked like she wanted to pinch Yuhaka's cheeks and pull them apart.

And when you think of Miruko, who has the air of a knight-errant on the surface but is actually like a puppy who wants to stick to Yuhaka 24/7, and Kuro, who is like a curry fanatic who is a shut-in, how can you not be afraid?

However, when Ji Lin first met Yuhaka, he seemed somewhat awe-inspiring, but now he has almost completely lost that awe. Moreover, the audacious Ji Lin even dared to drag Yuhaka's big tail away, which had almost bankrupted the surrounding buffet restaurants.

Yohaka didn't protest at the time. According to Croissant, it was like, "Yoyo, let's go and teach those young buffet owners a lesson!"

[Note: Croissant received payment from the buffet restaurant owner who had been harmed by Yohaka, and then took Yohaka to wreak havoc on buffet restaurants in other districts. Clearly, those buffet restaurant owners who had been harmed by Yohaka also wanted to drag their competitors down with them, and Yohaka naturally wouldn't refuse such a lucrative offer.]

Ji Lin scratched his little face and looked at Yi Lulu, saying:

"Eh? Um... even if you say that, Miss Ilulu, isn't Master Yuuyu adorable?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, also made a small scissor-like gesture with his hands at the corners of his eyes and looked at Iruru with a ~☆ expression.

Seeing their actions, Ilulu's eyes twitched slightly. She clearly hadn't expected Ji Lin to give such an answer, and why was Yuhaka posing like that?! And why was he calling Yuhaka "Master"? Ilulu was also very puzzled by this.

However, Ilulu quickly calmed down and looked at Ji Lin and Yuhaka, saying:

"I see, so you're fascinated by Youyou in her human form, which is why you're not afraid, right!"

Hearing Ilulu's words, Ji Lin didn't blush or feel her heart race. After all, Ji Lin's skin was much thicker than before, and Ilulu's words couldn't provoke her. Ji Lin calmly nodded and said:

"Well, after all, Master Youyou is very cute, and Youyou's dragon form is very cool, giving people the feeling of a streamlined sci-fi biological weapon fighter jet!"

"Hmph~ ┗=w=┛~"

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka struck a pose full of slapstick humor, which made Ilulu feel a little embarrassed. For some reason, Ilulu felt like she'd encountered a pair of idiots, leaving her unsure what to say. But she quickly recovered and, looking down at the ground, said:

"Humans and dragons cannot tolerate each other. As long as they stay together, they will suffer because of their differences. If this suffering continues, it will turn into hatred for the race, and respect will turn into jealousy. Sooner or later, it will cause trauma. What Youyou feels for you is just novelty. Once her novelty wears off, sooner or later she will also—hmm?"

Before Ilulu could finish speaking, she looked up and suddenly realized that Yuhaka and Jilin had disappeared. When she turned around, she saw that Jilin and Yuhaka had already walked far away.

"Aaaaah! You two, wait a minute!"

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

Finally, Ilulu followed Yuhaka and Jilin to the supermarket, where she went inside with them.
