Chapter 438

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

With a wave of his hand, seven or eight souls appeared in the kitchen.

After being transformed by the black gem's magic array, they had become the size of normal people and possessed the ability to control possessed objects or magic tool materials.

There was also Miyano Akemi, who had a body.

Without needing Akaso Kaze to say much, these subordinates naturally knew what he meant and all got busy.

Small tasks like washing vegetables were done by those souls without special skills, such as the Hatamoto family.

Cutting vegetables required professionals.

Maru Tanjiro held the samurai sword that killed him and slashed at the cutting board with a "swish, swish, swish."

In a moment's time, the cut vegetables and meat were neatly arranged on the cutting board.

This wasn't the first time they had cooked; at Akaso Kaze's home, the daily chores were now all done by souls.

Even sweeping, mopping, and cleaning the toilet were handled by designated souls.

The one tossing the spoon was naturally Miyano Akemi; having a body made it very convenient.

As for the gas stove, it wasn't needed at all.

Asai Narumi turned into a ball of fire and lay directly in the pot.

The Tengu of the Mist turned into a ball of mist, wrapped around the ingredients, and jumped into the pot.

As Miyano Akemi shook the pot, the flames and the ingredients mixed thoroughly, and the aroma soon wafted out.

"Huh? It smells so good!"

Ayano, waiting in the dining room, said in a milky voice, "What delicious food is Brother Akaso going to make for us?"

Kujukuri Nanae shook her head with a blushing face, "I don't know, but it must be delicious just by the smell."

She looked toward the kitchen, feeling somewhat ashamed.

It was already troublesome enough for Lord Akaso to deal with her husband's matter, and now she had to trouble him to cook for the mother and daughter.

How could she ever repay such kindness?

【Ding, Kujukuri Nanae has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 3.】

Akaso Kaze in the kitchen smiled.

Cooking a meal can also increase favorability; that's really not bad.

The key is that he didn't need to put in any effort at all.

Watching a group of busy souls, he boredly picked up a tomato and took a bite.

Huh, it actually tastes pretty good.

After a while, the meal was ready: four dishes and one soup, all emitting an alluring aroma, perfect in color, smell, and taste.

Whether in appearance or taste, everything was impeccable.

If you ask why the souls cooked so well?

Heh, those who don't cook well get punished.

Light punishment means extracting magic power, heavy punishment means being locked in a cage.

If Miyano Akemi made a mistake, she would get a spanking.

The meal was soon served on the table.

The aroma instantly filled the entire dining room.

"It smells so good!"

Kujukuri Nanae felt her mouth filling with saliva.

As for little Ayano, she had long since impatiently picked up her little chopsticks.

"Hurry and taste it, see how my cooking is?"

Akaso Kaze said with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, little Ayano had already started picking up food.

However, she wasn't very skilled with chopsticks yet, so Kujukuri Nanae helped her put a few dishes into her bowl.

Little Ayano immediately hugged the bowl and buried her head to eat.

Kujukuri Nanae looked at Akaso Kaze with embarrassment.

Their eyes met, and she instantly blushed and lowered her head.

"Wow, the food Brother Akaso made is so delicious!"

Little Ayano held up her little chopsticks, her eyes shining brightly, filled with admiration for Akaso Kaze.

Kujukuri Nanae also picked up her chopsticks and picked up a dish.

Putting it into her mouth, her eyes instantly lit up.

Although she was prepared after smelling the aroma, it was still beyond her expectations that it could be this delicious.

At this very moment, she finally understood what it meant to have a fragrant mouth.

The Kujukuri family was a wealthy one, and Kujukuri Nanae had tasted numerous delicacies.

But in her memory, she had never tasted such a flavor before.

No way, which chef can hire a kendo master to cut vegetables?

Who else can hire a magical creature like the Tengu of the Mist to spread seasonings extremely evenly over the surface of all the dishes?

As for the fire element itself doing the stir-frying, that was even more exaggerated.

Controlling the heat or whatever was too weak for the fire element Asai Narumi.

He could ensure the heat was just right for every single vegetable stalk, and even every single vegetable seed.

Not a bit more, not a bit less.

As for the meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with oil was a must.

【Ding, Kujukuri Nanae has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 4.】

【Ding, Kujukuri Ayano has developed a favorable impression of you; current favorability is 4.】

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly.

Sure enough, if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach.

This is true for both big and little women.

Kujukuri Nanae secretly peeked at Akaso Kaze across from her.

Such a man is truly rare.

Not only does he have powerful strength, but he also has all kinds of skills.

Most importantly, he is so handsome.

A thought gradually sprouted in Kujukuri Nanae's heart.

After the meal, Kujukuri Nanae took Ayano to sleep.

Her house had many rooms, and she arranged the largest guest room for Akaso Kaze, which had a very luxurious bathroom.

It was getting late, and Akaso Kaze prepared to wash up and go to sleep.

Entering the bathroom, Akaso Kaze immediately raised his eyebrows.

The bathtub was already filled with water; testing the temperature, it was just right.

Beside it were brand-new yukata and bath supplies.

This woman is really attentive.
