Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 136 Chinese Cuisine: Braised Pig Trotters - An Invasion!

"What you said isn't wrong."

Unexpectedly, Xia Yu readily admitted, "There is laughter here and sadness there."

"But this is a scene that Master Jugglus must go through."

"Only absolute darkness can highlight the light within him."

[Heh, in human terms, that's double standards.]

They say one thing, but do another.

Xia Yu smiled, completely ignoring Torregia's mockery.

"Old Tor, what you said makes a lot of sense. I am exactly that kind of ungrateful person."

"Why don't you come and hit me?"

Torregia:

Okay, besides his trash talk, this guy's shamelessness is also unparalleled.

After Orb defeated Gepton, Earth entered a period of peace.

Although there are other aliens on this planet besides Jugglus Juggler, he's definitely the one who's good at causing trouble.

After losing the Dark Ring, he disappeared without a trace, and his life returned to normal.

People were still getting used to it.

SSP has reduced its live streaming frequency significantly, mainly focusing on website updates and maintenance.

Although the popularity has dropped considerably compared to before, Zenta is already very satisfied.

If he had a choice, he would very much like to maintain his current state.

It's best if the monster doesn't appear.

Their economic situation has improved significantly, and as long as they don't do anything particularly reckless, they basically have no worries about food and drink.

However, Naomi still maintains her good habit of working part-time.

Is it possible that she is richer than the store manager who pays her salary?

"Come on everyone, try my braised pig's trotters."

What makes everyone in SSP and Ultraman Orb even happier is that they can enjoy the delicious dishes made by Chef Xia every day.

They know that China is a culinary capital, and to exaggerate a bit, the country with the best food in the world.

But after eating at various restaurants outside that claim to be Chinese, I felt they were just so-so.

It's very similar to the style of Japanese cuisine.

Until I met Chef Xia.

They were captivated by fried rice, let alone when he brought out the treasures of the eight major cuisines!

They were completely defeated.

The moment the pot was lifted, the rich aroma of braised meat burst into the four people's noses like an atomic bomb exploding.

Xia Yu carefully locked and closed the doors and windows securely before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

We must not be careless.

There was a time when I was cooking something in the orphanage, and shortly after I opened the pot, a bunch of stray dogs gathered at the door and tried to climb over the wall – a truly terrifying scene.

Fortunately, the police and firefighters came to the rescue and helped the orphanage out of the predicament.

Then a new group of people climbed over the wall at the entrance.

They are much more agile than wild dogs.

It was only then that Xia Yu realized how talented he was at cooking.

"Ugh, I... I can't take it anymore!"

Zenta was the first to rush towards the big pot.

For the first time, he realized that fragrance could have its own will.

He rushed over like a madman and punched him twice on the head, then wiggled his hips and laughed.

Come and hit me.

I will absolutely grant your wish!

Pig trotters of varying sizes floated in the brine, and Zenta could clearly see them grinning at him.

Can't stand it!

The hand moved like lightning, colliding with another palm in the blink of an eye.

Asen slapped Shantai's hand away with a gloomy face, but unexpectedly a third hand appeared and quickly took out two pig trotters.

Its speed was so fast that even braised water couldn't keep up.

It's Kai!

As an Ultraman, he would never lose to humans in this aspect, even if it meant using cheat codes like super-fast movement.

"What is this? Let me try it for you first."

Kai, with an air of righteous indignation, stuffed the pig's trotter into his mouth.

At that moment, he was struck by a time-stopping spell.

This, this, this....

The mouth is overflowing with collagen, as if it were a long-lost sibling to the taste buds on the tongue.

They embraced each other tightly, as if they wanted to enter each other's bodies.

The unprecedented feeling of joy gave Kai a sense of euphoria.

At the same time, the throat and stomach also felt this unusual invasion, expressing their strong longing.

Kai, of course, wouldn't show favoritism and sent the meat down.

But soon, a strong sense of loss came over me again.

He unconsciously took a second bite.

Time had no meaning at this moment, until his hands were empty, leaving only a mixture of oil and brine.

Should I lick it?

He inexplicably had that absurd thought.

Xia Yu looked at him with a strange expression.

As expected of Ultraman, he has such good teeth.

Shouldn't we only eat the crispy outer crust of pig's trotters...?

For a moment, only the sound of chewing filled the kitchen.

Anyone who walked in would be startled by that crazy and bizarre scene.

Is it really that delicious?

Let me try it.

Torregia's curiosity was piqued, and he took the initiative to ask.

Xia Yu didn't refuse. He knew that Lao Tuo had this kind of hobby, and there might have been an element of deliberate seduction involved.

Just as he was about to temporarily relinquish control of his body, the sound of the latch turning came from the tightly locked door outside.

Immediately afterwards, a man in uniform rushed in.

"Wow, it smells so good! What are you doing?"

Xia Yu reacted quickly, putting the pot back on and running outside to lock the door again.

The aroma seemed to be protesting vehemently, but it could only reluctantly retreat.

"Naomi?"

Shibukawa stared at his niece gnawing on a pig's trotter with a strange expression, and didn't come to his senses for a long time.

However, the aroma seems to be coming from the pig's trotters.

Wait a minute, could this be an alien conspiracy? Could my niece have fallen for it?

Out of concern, Shibukawa took immediate action.

Unexpectedly, Naomi's vigilance was already at its highest. Just as her uncle was about to pounce, she slightly shifted her body to the side and easily dodged the attack.

"Don't eat it, it's poisonous, ugh!"

Shibukawa's mouth was stuffed with a pig's trotter.

He stared incredulously at the smiling Xia Yu, never expecting that he would be the one to murder him.

Another member has joined the kitchen rat army.

A few minutes later, the five men stared at Xia Yu with shining eyes at the large pot on his chest.

There is also braising liquid inside.

"Stop! We're having braised noodles for dinner, or I'll throw it all away."

Only after hearing this did the group reluctantly give up.

Damn, Japanese people have never seen this before. At most, they've seen some braised soup bases, which are far inferior.

"Xia Yu, when are you going to take us on a trip to China?" Naomi suddenly made this suggestion.

Because of Chef Xia, she suddenly became extremely interested in her neighbor next door.

Is there food everywhere?

"Yeah, yeah, we haven't traveled abroad yet." Zenta also became interested. "I can open a food column on the website to record Chinese cuisine."

"Maybe I could go and learn from him." Asen was clearly interested as well.

Even Kai was clamoring to set off.

Xia Yu gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject.

Just kidding, if you guys run off to China, will the monsters move with you too?

It's said to be a protagonist's halo, but like in my dream, it's actually just a humanoid walking monster spawn point.

"By the way, Mr. Shibukawa, what brings you here so suddenly?"

Shibukawa, who was picking his teeth and squinting with a look of enjoyment, slapped his forehead hard.

"I almost forgot about the important matter."

After a moment's effort, Shibukawa transformed his smile into sadness and explained the purpose of his visit.

SSP breathed a sigh of relief that no monster was about to appear.

Instead, Shibukawa had a conflict with his own daughter.

"Tetsuko hasn't been listening to me lately."

Xia Yu is the most qualified to speak on this matter.

After all, they have been deeply involved in the education field for several years.

"Hey hey hey, you're starting with a very traditional, parental-style approach."

"How old is Chezi? Why does he have to listen to you?" Xia Yu went straight to the heart of the matter.

"She's in middle school now, which is the time when she's most vulnerable to bad things. How can I not guide her?"

Because of the pig's trotters, Shibukawa's attitude was quite good.

Xia Yu couldn't help but rub his forehead, "Why are you parents always so presumptuous?"

"You're letting your child decide their own future, haven't you ever considered whether the child wants that?"

"They don't understand! That's how I got here, and I took a lot of detours," Shibukawa retorted, unconvinced.

"Precisely because they don't understand, we should boldly let them explore."

"Even if you fall and get hurt, it's something you have to go through on the road to growth," Xia Yu said naturally. "What parents should do is to silently accompany you, help wipe away your tears or share your joy when needed."

""

"To be honest, this is much more tiring than arbitrarily deciding the path directly."

Shibukawa opened his mouth.

Xia Yu's words seem to make a lot of sense.

but.

There are so many blond guys at school.
