One belongs to the body, the other to the technique.
Just like a cooking recipe and the chef himself.
A well-designed recipe, combined with the chef's culinary skills, is what makes a dish delicious.
Therefore, in the future, in addition to improving the gluttony skill level...
Other similar skills, such as combat and spiritual power, should also be kept at the same level as much as possible.
It can't be too low, at least not too much.
After all, he didn't want to lose his bet with Esdeath.
That was a gamble with "freedom" at stake!
Moreover, even in this world, living freely and unrestrainedly is not so easy.
A faint sorrow filled Qingye's brows.
Before he had the ability, he just wanted to live his life well and run his izakaya properly.
But now.
Because he had interacted with Kasumigaoka and Hiratsuka Shizuka, he needed to have the ability to at least withstand disasters when they struck.
"Manager, you look troubled."
Perhaps his expression was too obvious, so much so that the girl in front of him could feel his worry.
Kasumigaoka cares a lot.
Since I met Aoba, I have almost never seen any expression on his face other than a smile.
So much so that even after knowing each other for so long, Kasumigaoka still doesn't quite understand Aoba's past experiences.
After all, in her view, behind someone who always wears a relaxed smile and seems warm...
It is very likely a past that is difficult to tell others.
The store manager is really cunning.
He hid his past, so that even that woman didn't know.
Having learned most of Aoba's experiences during his school days from Yukino Yukari-sensei, Kasumigaoka became even more puzzled.
Aoba, who transferred to our high school, seems like a genius who appeared out of nowhere.
No one knows what his past was like.
So when observing Aoba in daily life, one would notice his unconsciously furrowed brows.
Kasumigaoka, a light novel author, felt a sudden pang in her heart.
My curiosity was about to burst forth uncontrollably.
From the perspective of a light novel author...
Isn't the shop manager in front of me the perfect character design for the male protagonist?
He's handsome, has a gentle temperament, often provides very comforting emotional support, and possesses culinary skills so impressive that even the culinary world marvels at them.
Add to that little-known secret past!
All the elements combined make this the perfect protagonist template!
Upon hearing this, Aoba casually shook his head:
"Annoying? Not really, just feeling a bit troublesome."
As he spoke, his face regained its usual smile.
He leaned closer, resting his elbows on the bar counter, his eyes quietly gazing at the girl in black stockings sitting there: (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"However, I feel that Kasumigaoka-san might be confused?"
"Confused? Not really, just a bit of a headache."
The girl also leaned against the table, meeting his gentle gaze without flinching, and chuckled.
"Imitating other people's speech will make you disliked."
"Eh~ Am I mimicking people's speech? Aono-kun, aren't you overestimating yourself? Girls will hate you for that."
The two of them sang in unison, their eyes gentle and tender, yet their words were still sharp and sarcastic.
Aoba stopped arguing and carefully examined the girl's outstretched legs.
Slender, full, with the silk edges of black stockings disappearing beneath the pleated skirt, creating an absolute territory.
They are a pair of legs that are very easy to withstand.
"Manager!"
As expected, Kasumigaoka was no match for the blatant onslaught of gazes.
They could only humiliated and embarrassed, and give up in defeat.
"Staring at a girl's legs is very rude!"
"Kasumigaoka-san showed it to me."
"Who told you to look at my legs?!"
"Look..." Aoba smiled, took a sip of the iced water, "because you noticed and didn't take it back."
The words fell.
Kasumigaoka belatedly retracted her legs from in front of the bar.
He angrily threw the notebook at her.
Snapped!
Aoba caught it steadily.
On the hinge with the special bookmark, there was a story outline for "Love Metronome" and information about the male and female protagonists.
"So, Kasumigaoka-san's troubles are about light novels?"
"Humph~"
Kasumigaoka crossed her arms and hummed softly:
"Does the perverted shop manager have any advice?"
"Let's wait until you finish writing the first volume, Ms. Kasumi." Aoba chuckled and opened her notebook to take a look.
"Eh~ the male lead's character design..."
越看越不对劲。
A teenager from a single-parent family worked part-time to support himself and learned excellent cooking skills at a restaurant, where he happened to meet a female student from the same school who came to eat.
After a few interactions, the two became involved.
"No, senior?!"
"Hmph~ Is there a problem with the shopkeeper?"
"How could I possibly have a problem, Kasumigaoka-senpai?"
Aoba deliberately raised his voice to tease, handing the notebook to the girl, "The character design and outline are both outstanding. I'm really looking forward to Kasumi Shiko's new work."
"You have a good vision."
Kasumigaoka stretched out her legs and hooked them together, her nose slightly upturned:
"When it's published, I'll save the first signed copy for you, Aoba-kun."
"Please, please make sure to save it for me."
Aoba smiled and nodded.
the other side.
Reiko and Fuyu seem to have run into trouble.
"So, you encountered a monster you couldn't defeat?"
Yukino Fuyuki asked curiously.
"Yes, that monster can grow very big, and I can feel that it is in pain."
Reiko stared at the ceiling with a pained expression:
“I used to be friends with it, but I don’t know why, it has been in a lot of pain these past few days and it won’t even show its face.”
"...That's most likely..."
Yukino remained silent for a long time, seemingly having found the answer in her heart.
"The demonic power is going berserk..."
Chapter 133 Natsume's Book of Friends! Yukino Miyu: Take responsibility, Aoba-sama!
"Demonic power goes berserk..."
Lingzi suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the smile that always graced her lips faded even more.
She recently learned a lot about the powers of yokai from Fuyu and Nurarihyon.
The rampage of demonic power was like a two-lane road suddenly being rammed by several hundred-ton kings traveling side by side.
Although demonic power can increase dramatically in a short period of time, if this continues, the body of the demon that contains the demonic power will become broken and unusable.
If left unchecked, allowing demonic power to surge unchecked will eventually turn the demon into a mindless monster.
"Sister Yuki-onna, is the rampage of your demonic power really that serious?"
Seeing the Yuki-onna's equally somber expression, Natsume Reiko became even more worried.
"If it's just a normal surge of demonic energy, that's fine." The Snow Woman gently shook her head. "After all, demons also have self-awareness and can resist excessively violent power."
"But... there is one exception."
She sighed softly.
