Seeing Astra Yao's movements speed up significantly after trying a single bite, Evelyn also reached out with her knife and fork toward the steak in front of her.
Accompanied by a small piece of steak specially placed before her—which didn't look like leg meat—entering her mouth, she was similarly shocked by the Felyne Meal in front of her.
But her astonishment wasn't due to the extremely delicious taste.
Before coming to Astra Yao's side, whether during missions or not, she ate instant noodles every day and didn't really have a habit of pursuing delicious food.
So until more than a month ago, her principle regarding diet had always been "whatever is convenient and fast, as long as it's edible."
She had no thought of spending extra effort on it.
Although she had improved a lot recently because of Astra Yao and gradually started to take a little interest in this area, a habit is not a habit if it can be changed so quickly.
So what she cared about was the warm current that Astra Yao had ignored.
As the Dragon Meat went down her stomach, the nutrients formed from the vigorous vitality belonging to a giant dragon nourished her body. Evelyn instantly felt the countless old injuries left on her body from training in the organization dissolve like melting ice at this moment, vanishing into nothingness.
Those wounds that entangled her like maggots in the bone, reminding her every moment of where her roots lay... in just a few short seconds, they disappeared completely.
Feeling her body, which no longer held a trace of pain, Evelyn widened her eyes slightly in disbelief.
She immediately pulled down the sleeve that had been covering her right arm. The original gunshot scar had turned into pure white, flawless skin, appearing before her eyes.
As her fingers gently stroked over all the previous scars on her body, Evelyn discovered that, without exception, all the wounds had vanished.
The scars left by bullet penetrations in countless missions, the injuries from falls left during training, as well as knife wounds, blunt force trauma, and countless other scars. Those scars that doctors had long diagnosed as impossible to fully cure had all almost completely disappeared after eating this portion of Felyne Meal.
Meanwhile, Andrew, who was across the dining table, was watching Evelyn's every move.
Although she had always behaved as if she were very accustomed to them before, and those wounds didn't affect any of her movements, that subconscious reaction still made Andrew notice this point immediately.
Under Andrew's observation, the combat movements Evelyn used when dealing with those elite members during Ryza's ambush later on couldn't deceive anyone.
So when making the Felyne Meal just now, in addition to the leg meat originally prepared, Andrew directly paired it with a piece of Diablos Heart, which possessed extreme medicinal value, and herbs that served as raw materials for healing potions as seasoning.
In this way, he thought the vast majority could be completely eradicated.
If there were still some that wouldn't work... then he would use an Ancient Potion!
He had already collected quite a lot of Nourishing Extract from the Odogaron and Diablos. As for the Bitterbug juice, which there was currently no way to continue obtaining, it could be replicated once the Ancient Tree sprouted.
Then, paired with Mandragora to make Immunizers, they could be mixed into Ancient Potions. At that time, no matter what the injury, one Ancient Potion would guarantee a complete cure.
Looking at it now, the effect of the Felyne Meal was still quite impressive.
However, to be safe, he'd better stuff an Ancient Potion into Evelyn later when it was made.
Across the dining table, Evelyn felt a bit unreal for a moment.
She had never mentioned or revealed these wounds, which had accompanied her for many years and would faintly ache from time to time, to anyone else.
She subconsciously looked toward Andrew, only to find him looking at her with a satisfied smile, then quietly giving a thumbs-up.
Undoubtedly, the hero who achieved all this was Andrew in front of her.
She had originally treated all this as proof of her past existence and was prepared to go on like this forever, but Evelyn discovered—she had already completely drawn a clear line with those things in the shadows under Andrew's push.
It was as if he wanted to cull everything on her that belonged to the burdens of her past identity, and the final proof belonging to the professional spy Evelyn also vanished completely.
Unreasonably, and while Evelyn was completely unprepared, Andrew had directly wiped it away.
Feeling her body, which could be said to be brand new, Evelyn, coming back to her senses, gently clenched her fist and couldn't help but mutter softly:
"Usually you can't tell, but I didn't expect him to be such a forceful man when actually encountering matters."
However, this feeling wasn't bad either.
And starting from this moment, the "Scheele's Green" belonging to the organization had completely disappeared.
And what existed here now was the one named Evelyn Chevalier—the manager belonging to Astra Yao.
Just then, Astra Yao, who was full, raised her head again to look at Andrew.
Andrew, who was originally observing Evelyn's condition with a satisfied face, instantly stiffened. Cold sweat dripped down his cheek onto the dining table, turning into water spots.
Has the final judgment... arrived?
But what surprised Andrew was that Astra Yao didn't mean to be angry at all. She just asked very affectionately:
"Andrew, when you go back tomorrow, can I go to Sixth Street with you to take a look?"
Once these words came out, Andrew was instantly confused about Astra Yao's plan.
So he asked tentatively:
"Astra, what do you want to do at Sixth Street?"
Tapping her chin lightly with her finger, Astra Yao didn't hide it, thinking as she spoke:
"Such a big event happened today. The originally planned schedule for tomorrow has been completely ruined, so tomorrow is my super rare vacation time!"
Speaking of this, Astra Yao instantly became excited.
Since joining DGA Entertainment, as a newcomer, a vacation was simply something that only existed in dreams. This was her first vacation in months!
If not for encountering the monster invasion at this concert, a vacation was something she truly wouldn't even dare to think about.
After all, the original plan for tomorrow was to run off to participate in a new variety show with the popular newcomer Monica, who also debuted not long ago, to stabilize her popularity, and also to promote the videotape of the concert by the way.
It highlighted a busy life.
However, for the current DGA Entertainment, the protagonist in the videotape recording the concert could already be said to have completely changed to another person. But even so, it was also excellent publicity for Astra Yao.
So the employees of DGA Entertainment were also working overtime now to produce the videotapes.
"After all, Sixth Street has the pastries of your flavor, and I still want to continue eating the delicious food you make. Most importantly, I want to meet your girlfriend, Belle."
Listening to the first part, Andrew, who just thought he had escaped a disaster and breathed a sigh of relief, froze the instant this last sentence was spoken.
Why does she want to meet Belle instead of targeting him?
Whether it was Belle or Astra Yao, he didn't want to make them sad. And regarding this meeting thing, based on his radar from over ten years of web novels and TV dramas...
No matter how you look at it, it feels like wanting an offline confrontation, right?!
Andrew could calmly accept whatever perception people had of him, but if it involved Belle, that was a different matter. For a moment, even Andrew couldn't help but start thinking wild thoughts.
What to do? Should he agree?
Subconsciously, Andrew turned his head to look at Evelyn, who was still cutting the steak into suitable sizes bit by bit with a knife and fork, then sending them into her mouth with an elegant posture. In a desperate attempt, he tried to get a little intelligence from her mouth.
And after noticing Andrew's eyes looking at her, Evelyn involuntarily stopped the movements in her hands. Looking at his pitiful appearance, she felt it was a bit funny for a moment.
Subsequently, Evelyn, who had long known Astra Yao's thoughts, directly shook her head secretly, indicating that Astra Yao indeed didn't have that kind of intention. It could be considered giving him a reassurance pill.
To be honest, Andrew was stunned for a moment after actually getting a response.
But since Evelyn had already indicated so, Andrew naturally didn't struggle anymore and resolutely chose to trust her.
Plus, Belle was already very much looking forward to meeting Astra Yao, and Astra Yao wasn't the kind of person who would obediently give up just because he refused.
So compared to the two meeting by chance in the future when he wasn't around, it was better to just agree directly now. With him, this target who could attract firepower, in the middle, presumably there wouldn't be any problems.
So Andrew directly nodded and accepted it.
"Okay, then let's go back to Sixth Street together tomorrow."
Having received consent, Astra Yao instantly cheered happily.
While Andrew inevitably had a little worry in his heart.
However, things having reached this point, Andrew, for whom the event had already happened and who couldn't go back on his word, didn't struggle anymore.
Let's just let it develop naturally.
Astra Yao, who was staring carefully at Andrew from her seat, remembered something and asked again with a face full of curiosity:
"By the way, Andrew, I've wanted to ask since before. Why are you so familiar with this kind of monster that has never appeared before?"
After all, Andrew's level of understanding of this monster had already exceeded the ordinary limit.
Whether it was the name that obviously wasn't called out casually, or the familiarity with its attacks during combat, and most importantly, his carving of materials or his cooking of this monster now.
These signs all indicated that this had absolutely exceeded the level of ordinary familiarity. It was an understanding that could only be formed after systematically studying many of them at least.
But the problem was, whether in New Eridu or Old Eridu, such monsters had never appeared in all the records. Any related records didn't exist.
Plus those powerful plants Andrew took out before that had never appeared.
Not to mention anything else, if Nulberries had really existed long ago, then Hollow Corruption symptoms wouldn't have become a difficult problem troubling all humanity for so many years. In comparison, that music was already a small issue.
This was no longer a difference that could appear simply due to living regions. Compared to making them believe this was the result achieved by another city of humanity... this was more like a product of another world.
After all, everyone in New Eridu was already certain that the city beneath their feet was the last of humanity. Everything.
Regarding the two's questions, Andrew was very calm.
Rather, he actually didn't have any intention of hiding anything from the people around him. It was just that most people who weren't that close only understood a certain side of him.
For outsiders, this reason was already sufficient.
But for friends around him, this kind of excuse could completely be called perfunctory to the other party. Even the most simple-minded Belle discovered this matter in the second month.
After all, Andrew had always believed from beginning to end that transmigration was actually quite normal.
After all, it wasn't just his own double transmigration. Even in the New and Old Worlds, transmigrators from other worlds often popped up. Even the desolate Forbidden Lands had some.
Even the Guild already had a set of its own processes for this aspect.
It was just that this time, he was the one who transmigrated out.
And naturally, the transmigrators Andrew had seen in the New World before were not few in number.
When he infiltrated the Research Institute before, saying he possessed the teachings of countless master infiltrators really wasn't nonsense.
Whether it was the so-called: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted," or the cardboard box infiltration later, those were all unique skills learned seriously from other transmigrators.
That Assassin organization even taught Andrew how to make their organization's clothing and hidden blades, and that strong man wearing a bandana and camouflage uniform even taught Andrew how to make an eyepatch of the same style as his.
Back then, before they went back, Andrew even made a set of each to treasure in his own hut.
It was just that the equipment strength of these things was really useless for Andrew. It could completely be said to be the same as the short swords used for decoration on many armors.
It wasn't even as strong as the effect of a casual slap.
So after coming here, he never remembered that he could make these things.
However, everything Andrew said was a bit beyond imagination for Evelyn and Astra Yao.
Although they felt it was like things from another world, they had never really thought that other worlds truly existed.
First, they learned from Andrew's mouth that he was actually a human who came from another world, and that there had even appeared many different humans living in other different worlds there.
And the world Andrew lived in was even more unimaginable.
Countless giant monsters like the Diablos lived together, forming an ecology that was beyond imagination and completely different.
Some golden gorilla that loved to throw eight punches, a Glavenus whose tail was an extra-large Tachi, a Valstrax flying in the sky like a supersonic fighter jet.
Etc., etc., etc. Among the countless monsters, there were even many existences like the incarnations of natural disasters.
For example, the Alatreon Andrew mentioned.
But even in such an environment, humans achieved harmonious coexistence with nature.
And Andrew was even a person who specialized in hunting those monsters to maintain the delicate balance between humans and nature, active within it as a Hunter in the organization named the Guild.
To be honest, for New Eridu citizens, whose impression of powerful monsters was mostly Nineveh, what Andrew said had already completely exceeded their imagination range.
Let alone those taboos Andrew mentioned at the end.
Monsters that words couldn't describe, only making one feel the poverty of vocabulary—Astra Yao couldn't imagine them at all.
Even after the chat ended and they returned to their rooms, the two hadn't completely come back to their senses.
