"Try it first."
Nurarihyon's gaze suddenly turned serious.
Even though the old man was short in stature, he exuded an undeniable power.
"clear."
The demon nodded deeply.
then.
The two of them simultaneously picked up the braised food from the plate and put it in their mouths.
next second.
"Ok?"
Niu Gui first asked in confusion, then frowned as if he was verifying something.
Her long black hair behind her moved even without wind!
The 'fear' filled with hatred and dread seems to be stirring at this moment.
Memories of his former human form kept swirling in the Ushioni's mind.
He... seemed to be remembering many things.
Tears Mountain, the Ox Demon, Mother...
"Ushiwakamaru, are you thinking about the past again?"
Suddenly.
The sound coming from in front of him startled the bull demon awake.
His gaze drifted into the distance.
Under bright yellow light.
Nurarihyon seems to have returned to his youth, still as confident, arrogant, and rebellious as ever!
Her flowing long hair swayed gently behind her, accompanied by the dark 'Wei'.
Just like when he was young, he led the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to defeat himself.
"General..."
Niu Gui took a deep breath, calming his somewhat extreme emotions.
More than three hundred years have passed since he fell into demonic ways and became a monster while still human.
Many of my previous memories have faded with time.
In the long battle.
sometimes.
He seemed to have forgotten his own background and origins.
He had forgotten that he once lived in this world as 'Ushiwakamaru', in human form.
But now...
The demon stared blankly at the food on the table.
Nurarihyon looked at Aoba in the kitchen with a slightly sinister gaze and said softly, "Can you feel it?"
"Yeah, I feel it."
At the same time, Niugui's gaze also turned towards the kitchen.
That human kid...
He possesses the powerful 'Nen' ability, strong enough to overturn the world.
It can create dishes that increase demonic power!
If other yokai forces outside Kyoto learn of this ability, Kyoto will likely once again enter an era of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!
"An ability that could almost overturn the entire world of monsters..."
Nurarihyon shook his head and gave the kitchen a deep look.
Even though he had once defeated Hagoromo Gitsune and rebuilt the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), he still felt old in the end.
I understand this world less and less.
"Demon."
"My subordinate is here!"
"You will lead a portion of the Ushioni and Nura groups and try to settle them around the 20th ward."
"clear!!"
"We'll use the expansion of the Nura Clan as an excuse for now, and only you and I know the reason. We won't explain it to anyone else."
Nurarihyon squinted his eyes and said.
In this era where humans are valued more than demons, he doesn't know how long he can protect the Nura Clan's ship as it sails.
Especially with the emergence of people like Aoba.
This seems to make the situation for monsters in the future even more difficult.
After all, certain forces...
They have long coveted Kyoto.
Despite the presence of the Prosecutor's Office, it is ultimately impossible to avoid underhanded and despicable activities.
But before these unknowns arrive.
He must strengthen his side as much as possible.
"So, Ox-Demon, what are you waiting for?"
puff~
Nurarihyon changed size on the spot and reverted to the image of an old man.
I started eating as soon as I saw the platter of braised dishes in front of me.
"It tastes really good!"
"Ushioni, I'm tempted to just drag this kid back to the Nura Clan!"
Watching Hua Piao stuff the braised food into his mouth without any regard for his image.
Even the demon couldn't help but nod.
They devoured the food in front of them in a whirlwind.
The hand holding the chopsticks even flicked out afterimages!
"Well...."
Just as Qingye added a portion of the bear paw to the pressure cooker, she returned to the front hall.
Looking at the two of them, who looked like they were starving ghosts reincarnated.
Would you like another one?
Aoba paused for a moment, then smiled with great satisfaction.
"Please, one more, no, three more!"
"Excuse me, shopkeeper, could you please bring me two cups of sake?"
Nurarihyon and Ushioni's special physical constitution allows them to eat almost anything.
It's just a few slightly larger dishes, really nothing special.
"no problem!"
Aoba immediately made arrangements for the two of them.
Then. . .
"Demon."
"Ok?"
"Have you noticed something's not right?"
"It seems... there is a bit of a truth to that."
"Why do I feel like I've eaten too much?"
"Hmm~"
Looking at the remaining braised food on the plate, Nurarihyon suddenly felt that he couldn't eat anymore.
It feels like my whole body is filled with something.
"Could this be one of that kid's special abilities?!"
"Ahem..."
The demon remained silent.
He simply drank the sake in his cup silently, and then let out a burp as if filling a crack.
"This kind of food can actually fill a monster's stomach?!"
Really opened my eyes!
Nurarihyon watched as Ushioni stood up and began to walk around.
It's obvious that the other person can't eat it either.
The Ox-Demon was a powerful demon who devoured many monsters during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!
Are these few plates of braised food enough to fill the other person's stomach?!
He absolutely doesn't believe it.
This must be Aoba's special ability.
