I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 161 Chapter 163 Monster Sashimi

"Swish—swish—"

The octopus monster seemed to sense the chairman's ill intentions, and spat out a series of ink arrows from its mouth, which hit the glass wall of the water tank, but the glass wall did not budge.

This made Chairman Hyoudou burst into laughter.

The ink arrows spat out by the octopus monster did not dissolve immediately in the water. Instead, the ink transformed into black fish and long snakes that thrashed about inside the tank, seemingly searching for a way out.

The bigwigs of the Black Emperor Society, finding no real danger, once again surrounded them, offering their opinions and comments.

"Is this what a yokai is? This is the first time I've ever seen one."

"Although it's called a monster, it seems to be something like a mutated beast?"

The existence of monsters was indeed an eye-opener for them, but the thought of eating such ugly creatures that looked like they came from the deep sea made some of them turn pale.

Putting aside the psychological pressure, who knows whether it's toxic or not?

"Don't worry, I've already let the 'slaves' taste the monster's flesh. They're all full of energy and say it tastes delicious."

Chairman Hyodo wore a cold expression.

The previous blows with his cane were quite strenuous for an elderly man like him, and with the help of his bodyguard in a black suit, he slowly sat back in his wheelchair.

"I bought this octopus monster for 130 million yen on the black market! Even you guys have never eaten seafood that expensive. Tonight, you can have a feast."

"I love seafood the most! Since it's the president's treat, I'm definitely going to eat my fill!"

Vice President Hosoda patted his round belly and laughed heartily.

The other high-ranking members of the Black Emperor Society exchanged glances. Although some were reluctant, most showed interest.

Wealthy people like to eat wild game, even endangered animals. In reality, the taste may not be much better than that of poultry and livestock that have been domesticated by humans for many years. But eating these rare things is essentially about eating money and a sense of superiority, in order to show off their superior status.

Not to mention monsters, which are mysterious beings beyond the realm of reason.

"Then let's begin."

At Chairman Hyodo's command, someone immediately brought over a button.

He glanced at the octopus monster still struggling in the tank, a malicious grin spreading across his face, and pressed down lightly with his withered fingers.

The generator at the bottom of the tank suddenly emitted a high-voltage current. The octopus monster squeaked a few times, its body twitched, and it floated stiffly in the water, motionless.

Immediately, someone fished out the little octopus monster. Its tentacles were still wriggling, indicating that it was not yet dead.

"After numerous tests, I've found that this voltage is just right, allowing it to remain unconscious for a long time, ensuring its freshness and deliciousness."

Saliva dripped from the corner of Chairman Hyodo's mouth; he was clearly impatient.

The bodyguard in the black suit delivered the octopus monster to the chef who had been waiting at the front of the table.

The chef, dressed in a white Japanese culinary uniform with a towel tied around his head, skillfully sliced ​​off the monster's tentacles, dividing them into sections.

Finally, squeeze on some freshly ground wasabi paste, arrange it on a plate, and serve it to the VIP of the Black Emperor Society.

It's sashimi made by a yokai!

While sashimi is a famous Japanese dish, eating yokai sashimi is just too difficult.

Some people looked at the twitching monster's whiskers on the porcelain plate with troubled expressions.

"Quick, eat up! Monster limbs don't keep for long after being cut off; the best way to eat them is as sashimi!"

Chairman Hyodo picked up a tentacle with his chopsticks, dipped it in wasabi and then in soy sauce, and put it in his mouth, taking a big bite:

"That's how you eat it to preserve the original flavor."

Chairman Hyodo ate several pieces of yokai sashimi before he was satisfied, then picked up a glass of deep red wine and gulped it down.

Although the octopus monster's tentacles had been simply washed, blood still remained; a monster's blood is still red.

As Chairman Hyodo chewed, crimson blood mixed with wine flowed from the corners of his mouth, staining his beard red. His face was contorted, making him look like a demon drinking human blood and eating human flesh.

With Chairman Hyodo taking the lead, the other high-ranking members of the Black Emperor Society could only follow suit, each of them hunching over their tables and devouring their food.

"Kazkaz—"

The terrifying sounds of chewing were so loud that even the elegant music playing on the second floor couldn't mask them.

With a "slurp," Vice President Hosoda sucked a large section of the twisted, wriggling monster's tentacle into his mouth, swallowing it all in one gulp. Then, it seemed as if the suction cups on the tentacle were sucking his throat, and his fat face turned bright red.

"Hahaha!"

When Chairman Hyodo saw this, instead of calling for help, he slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.

Vice President Hosoda grabbed his sake glass and gulped down several large mouthfuls to clear the whiskers from his throat. Before he could even catch his breath, he gave a thumbs-up and praised:

"As expected of the 130 million yen 'monster sashimi,' it's incredibly fresh and delicious!"

"If you like it, then eat more!"

Chairman Hyodo laughed.

"But, Chairman, weren't all of this monster's tentacles already cut off?" Vice Chairman Hosoda's eyes revealed a hint of annoyance.

This monster has tentacles like an octopus on its lower body, and it tastes similar to seafood like octopus. If you can overcome your psychological pressure and chew it carefully, you will find it surprisingly chewy, refreshing, and delicious.

Eating live octopus is commonplace in Japan.

However, although the octopus monster's upper body is ugly, it does have some human-like features, so eating it as sashimi would be a bit...

"No problem, you might not know this, but monsters can regenerate their limbs. This octopus monster can eat as many tentacles as it wants!"

Chairman Hyodo chuckled and waved his hand. Immediately, a man in a black suit carrying an iron bucket walked over.

"The president is truly knowledgeable and worldly-wise, he's practically a monster doctor!" Vice President Hosoda composed himself and quickly began to flatter him.

The bodyguard in the black suit took a meatball the size of a billiard ball from the iron bucket and stuffed it into the mouth of the octopus monster.

Although the little octopus monster was barely breathing and unconscious, it instinctively swallowed the meatball when it was put into its mouth.

Then an incredible scene unfolded: the severed lower half of the octopus monster's body began to wriggle and grow back.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of dumplings are these? They're practically like magic pills!"

Someone couldn't resist stepping forward, seemingly wanting to try feeding it themselves. The man in the black suit didn't dare offend this high-ranking member of the Black Emperor Society, so after the chairman gave him a look, he handed the iron bucket over to him.

The man reached into the iron bucket and pulled out a meatball. He squeezed it and felt that something was off about it.

Upon closer inspection, a fingernail was embedded in the meatball.

"This is... human flesh!"
