Chapter 371: Slapped to the End of the World!
The oval-shaped Deep-Fried One-Horned Bear Meat Cake was golden in color and plump in shape, with a few drizzles of dark brown sauce on the surface, emitting a faint golden glow.
The outer shell, coated with breadcrumbs, had distinct granules. It looked rough, yet appeared light and fluffy; one could feel its "crispiness" visually!
Smelling the rich and enticing wild mellow fragrance in the air made one drool uncontrollably!
"So fragrant! Looks delicious!"
(´﹃｀)
Lucoa temporarily stopped filming, put down her phone, and looked at the freshly fried One-Horned Bear Meat Cakes with a face full of craving.
Minos distributed greaseproof paper to everyone, wrapped her hand with it, and picked up a fried meat cake:
"I'll try it first!"
Saying this, ignoring the piping hot temperature from just coming out of the pot, she brought the Deep-Fried One-Horned Bear Meat Cake to her mouth and took a bite with great anticipation—
Crunch—!
The golden breadcrumb shell made a crisp sound between her teeth.
Her teeth sank into the soft and bouncy meat filling. In an instant, piping hot meat juices burst out, carrying the unique wild mellow fragrance of One-Horned Bear meat, spreading on the tip of her tongue.
Minos' beautiful eyes widened involuntarily, her pupils quaking.
"Super—delicious!"
She almost blurted it out, her voice full of surprise.
"Can't taste any gamey smell at all..."
Jashin-chan looked at the bitten Deep-Fried One-Horned Bear Meat Cake in her hand with astonishment, unable to help taking another bite, savoring it carefully.
She tilted her face up, narrowing her eyes in enjoyment:
"The richness of pork fat interwoven with the wild mellow fragrance of bear meat, highlighted by the refreshing sweetness of apple and the spiciness of onion, becomes distinct in layers, rich but not greasy..."
"Every bite is full of primitive and abundant satisfaction!"
"If paired with the sauce, the already intense deliciousness will become even more amazing..."
Pekola closed her eyes, a flush inexplicably rising on her fair, delicate face with a hint of childishness.
It felt like...
"Even consciousness... is about to be carried away by this deliciousness...!"
"..." Minos felt the same.
The already delicious Deep-Fried One-Horned Bear Meat Cake, paired with the savory and mellow sauce, elevated the flavor again, achieving an effect of 1 + 1 > 2!
In a trance—
A giant brown bear with a single horn on its head suddenly broke into her field of vision.
Minos was instinctively startled and looked up, only to find that this giant bear had an incredibly familiar face.
She was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything more, she saw the "giant bear" swinging a giant palm the size of a suitcase—
"Chotto matte!"
As her voice fell, the bear palm, wrapped in whistling wind, struck her head-on.
"Wah—!"
Amidst Minos' scream, the clothes on her body were ruthlessly torn to shreds by this strong wind, turning into butterflies of cloth filling the sky.
A huge, irresistible force acted on her, sending her flying violently. The wall behind her shattered instantly as if made of paper!
Minos felt like she had turned into a shooting star, streaking across the quiet night sky.
What surprised her was that despite bearing this immense force, breaking through the wall, and now flying backwards uncontrollably as if to fly all the way to the end of the world...
She herself didn't suffer any harm!
"..."
"Whoa—! It's truly amazing... this Deep-Fried One-Horned Bear Meat Cake!"
Unsurprisingly, Ryohei's Deep-Fried One-Horned Bear Meat Cake received unanimous praise.
He asked Lucoa to send the filmed video to Minos and continued improving other snacks.
Time passed in improvement and tasting.
By the time the last few snacks were improved, the night was deep.
Ryohei took out his phone and looked; it was already 11:52 PM.
Almost midnight!
"Ryohei-kun, thank you for your hard work!"
Holding half a cup of grease-relieving sour plum soup improved by Ryohei, Minos looked at him with a touch of emotion.
"Mn, indeed hard work."
Ryohei moved his shoulder joints.
He had been in the kitchen since the afternoon. Physically it was okay, but mentally he was quite exhausted.
He just wanted to take a hot bath and have a comfortable sleep now.
"What about me?"
( ﹁ ﹁ )
Jashin-chan sipped the sour plum soup in small sips, narrowing her eyes halfway at Minos.
"Jashin-chan worked hard too."
Minos was surprised, smiled at her, and changed the subject: "Now you only need to pay me back 2 million Yen."
"You only wiped a fraction?"
Jashin-chan tilted her head back exaggeratedly.
"Otherwise?"
Minos put one hand on her waist, looking at a certain someone pushing her luck: "How much more do you want to wipe? Wiping 150,000 Yen is already generous enough!"
Jashin-chan only helped as an assistant and didn't contribute much. If not for the significance of this occasion and for the sake of friendship, she would have wiped at most 50,000 Yen!
"Indeed enough."
Lucoa chimed in with a smile.
"Scummy snake, you are really greedy," Pekola looked at Jashin-chan.
"If she weren't greedy, she wouldn't be Jashin-chan," Ryohei teased with a smile, then changed the subject: "It's late; we should probably go back, wash up, and sleep."
"Where are you staying? Is it far? You can stay at my place too," Minos hurriedly offered.
"Staying at the Jashin family villa here."
Ryohei pointed to Jashin-chan beside him and asked her: "Is it far from here?"
"Hmm... there is some distance, but about an hour to get there."
The Jashin family villa was in another district. Jashin-chan crossed her arms, thought for a moment, and answered.
"That is indeed some distance."
Ryohei put his hand to his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Minos: "How about you arrange something?"
He didn't want to spend so much time on the road; he wanted to shower and sleep.
"No problem!"
Minos agreed readily, patting her chest: "You guys stay with me! I have a large flat nearby!"
"..." Ryohei couldn't help but look at her a few more times upon hearing this.
Speaking of which, the Cow Girl was actually a rich young miss too, but somehow, it was easy to overlook this usually.
"Then let's stay at your place," Jashin-chan said casually.
Lucoa and Pekola had no objections; staying anywhere was fine.
"Wait a moment, I'll arrange some things."
Minos took out her phone from her pocket and called her assistant...
