Chapter 238: Meat Course: Space Taipan Snake Meat
In the train's kitchen, Atashino was cooking the meat of the Space Taipan. A rich aroma overflowed, slipping out from under the door and echoing through the carriage.
What does a mermaid's tail feel like?
It was smooth and moist to the touch, with the feel of jade, and it wasn't cold.
Kenji curiously stroked the mermaid's tail. The wonderful sensation was addictive.
[That tickles~]
Streaming Light protested. Although her tail was covered in scales, it still had sensory feedback.
Kenji nodded and, in due time, withdrew his hand.
"Here. Want to touch?"
Saber Alter showed off her bare feet, not at all shy, a wicked smile on her face. Her exquisite jade feet were placed in front of Kenji, her round and smooth, cardamom-like toes wiggling enticingly. The original Artoria would never make such a provocative and alluring gesture.
Kenji: "..."
Are you testing me, cadre?
Saber Alter, you're getting a little full of yourself.
Smack!
Kenji grabbed her foot in one hand, a playful smile on his face. Saber Alter's heart skipped a beat. Whenever Kenji made that smile, it meant trouble.
"Scree!?"
The next second, Kenji reached out and plucked a soft feather from Icy, earning him a furious glare from the phoenix. Why are you plucking my feathers?!
It's not your feather, so you don't know the pain, huh (ಠ皿ಠ)?
"I... why can't I move?"
Saber Alter wanted to resist, but she found she couldn't move a single finger. All she could do now was talk.
"Hmph."
Kenji let out a cool snort.
"Saber Alter, don't you forget who my master is."
Knocking was his specialty. Paralyzing a person was a simple matter. He had also used the opportunity to use Knocking to increase Saber Alter's pleasure sensitivity by a factor of ten.
"Mmph..."
The moment his palm touched the sole of her foot, it sent a sensation like an electric shock through Saber Alter. Her mind instantly went blank. The current Saber Alter was a shut-in; she basically didn't wear shoes and went around barefoot all day.
"Ah..."
Kenji took out the feather. As the soft feather brushed across the sole of her foot, a continuous, tingling itch assaulted her. A flush crept onto her cheeks. Because of the Knocking, she couldn't even squirm, which made it even more awkward. Sweat dampened her clothes and the sofa beneath her.
[?]
Streaming Light looked at the broken Saber Alter, a question mark over her head. What was wrong with her? She didn't understand. How had she become like this?
Just before Saber Alter was about to pass out, Kenji stopped. He hadn't expected a tenfold increase in pleasure to produce such a reaction.
Now you know who's the king and who's the jack in this house. I feed you and take care of you, and you still dare to provoke me?
"Ababa..."
Although Saber Alter hadn't fainted, her mind was in chaos. She hadn't recovered yet.
[Are you alright?]
Streaming Light looked at Saber Alter, a little worried for her good sister.
"It's nothing. She'll be fine after a bit."
After the pleasure came the sage's time, which would produce a feeling of emptiness and depression. Kenji was very curious. Had King Arthur ever done that kind of thing with Guinevere? Probably only the people involved would know. If he asked Saber Alter, she probably wouldn't talk about it.
[Star Forger]: [SaberAlterDefeated.jpg]
Kenji sent a private message to Artoria.
[Ahoge King]: "?"
What is the meaning of this?!
The moment Artoria saw this picture, her face turned bright red, and a feeling of extreme shame shot to her scalp. That thing without an ahoge, wearing her exact same face... was ruining her reputation like this?!
No. This woman cannot be allowed to live.
A pure killing intent flashed in the Ahoge King's green eyes.
A Type-Moon classic: I will kill myself.
[Ahoge King]: "That's not me."
[Star Forger]: "I know. You didn't have an ahoge back then."
[Ahoge King]: "Let me go over there. I have a few words I'd like to say to her."
Words that stab the heart... those also count as words.
[Star Forger]: "We'll see when there's a chance."
Saber Alter in her current state had no combat power.
Sniff, sniff...
Suddenly, an immense aroma washed over them. Even Saber Alter instantly came to her senses, subconsciously looking toward the kitchen.
"This smell... it's so fragrant."
Kenji began to analyze it. He could distinguish the smells of Meatball Star, Onion Star, Lemon Star, and other planets. His sense of smell was not his strong suit. If it had been Toriko, he would have been able to identify many more flavors.
"It's ready. The snake meat of the Space Taipan."
Atashino carried a platter and placed it on the dining table. Such a high-grade meat... it had an even greater presence than the Sun Jewel Meat.
"You've worked hard, Atashino."
Kenji said softly. If he didn't have a chef, he would feel very inconvenienced.
"I'm a chef. I'm your partner. Whatever you want to eat, I will cook it," Atashino smiled slightly.
"Saber Alter, what's wrong with you?"
Atashino glanced at Saber Alter. Something felt strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"It's nothing."
Saber Alter shook her head. Such an embarrassing thing... it was enough that the few people present knew. Others didn't need to know. At the same time, she gave Kenji a warning look. Of everyone here, he was the one she didn't trust. What she didn't know was that Artoria now also knew and was feeling incredibly ashamed about it.
Atashino didn't think much of it and said with a smile, "Everyone, please, have a taste."
The seared snake meat... the marks from the charring were like the patterns of constellations in the universe. This was no coincidence; every piece of cooked snake meat had this change. The rich broth from the stew... it was as if a miniature galaxy had formed on its surface, displaying the principles of the universe's evolution. A snake-shaped mist of rich aroma formed above the dish, emitting an irresistible temptation.
The color and aroma were both impeccable. As for the final taste... even without trying it, one could imagine it wouldn't be bad.
First, the grilled Space Taipan snake meat. This would allow them to taste the original flavor of the meat.
"The snake meat presents the ultimate tenderness and elasticity, full of contrast. Every chew brings forth an explosive burst of umami. After devouring planets, the snake meat has absorbed the energy of the universe, and its flavor layers far surpass any ingredient on Earth..."
Kenji chewed and savored it carefully. It had to be said, this snake meat was indeed extremely delicious.
"For the meat course, it's decided. The meat of the Space Taipan," Kenji made his decision.
Comparing the two, in terms of deliciousness, the Space Taipan snake meat was the winner.
Meat Course: Space Taipan Snake Meat.
Capture Level: 530,000.
Sorry, Sun Jewel Meat.
Now, he was just missing the main course and the salad, and his Full Course Menu would be complete.
"Congratulations," Atashino said with a smile. She remembered that Kenji's Full Course Menu was now just missing the last two items. He would find them sooner or later.
Kenji nodded. The main course... he would look for it in the Final Land. As for the salad, he would see if he could find something suitable in the universe.
