Chapter 923: Oh No! The Fox and the General Are Actually Fighting! The Truth Is Shocking! (Subscribe Please)

"Poisoned?"

Yae Miko was the first to react, hurriedly checking on Sayu's condition.

As a shrine maiden of the Grand Narukami Shrine, she was quite skilled in this area.

"Someone actually poisoned her right in front of me?!"

Raiden Shogun's expression darkened.

In Inazuma!

In the Tenshukaku!

And on top of that, on her pride-and-joy "Three-Colored Dango"!

This was practically a provocation!

A sacrilege against a god!

"You'd better pray I don't find you, or else…"

A cold glint flashed in Raiden Shogun's eyes.

"Tell me, is there any chance that the 'poisoning' happened because Sayu ate the dango you made?"

At that moment, the General offered a guess.

After all, that pitch-black thing didn't look like anything good at a glance.

It wasn't impossible that eating it would make one feel unwell.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Hearing the General's words, Raiden Shogun denied it outright.

Although her basic culinary skills were just a tiny bit lacking,

no matter how you put it, it shouldn't be enough to poison someone, right?

She had eaten it herself before!

So even if there was a problem, it must have come from somewhere else.

"Could it be because of that delicious seasoning?"

A guess suddenly popped into Raiden Shogun's mind.

After all, the only change this time was that seasoning.

While she was pondering, Yae Miko had already finished her examination.

"Don't worry, it's not poison!"

Yae Miko said with a smile to her friend beside her.

"That's a relief!"

Raiden Shogun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, then frowned.

"In that case, what caused Sayu's condition just now?"

"You may not believe it when I say it, but she just ate something bad, so her body felt unwell, that's all."

Yae Miko's expression turned strange.

Sure enough, her premonition was right!

That seemingly burnt thing really couldn't be eaten!

Even though it smelled incredibly fragrant.

"Eh? Miko, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Raiden Shogun's face nearly froze.

Didn't that just mean the food she made had a problem?

How could that be?

"I didn't make a mistake. Although I don't know how you managed to get that fragrance out of it, I do know your cooking skills.

Accept reality, Ei!"

Yae Miko's face was full of teasing.

In the past, at worst it was just unpalatable.

Now it had actually leveled up!

It could even make people "poisoned"!

Her friend really was quite the talent!

"Sayu, let's leave first! Let the General take some more time to ponder her cooking skills!"

"Yes, Chief Priestess!"

Sayu nodded repeatedly.

She really didn't dare to eat random things anymore!

Especially not anything made by the General!

Too terrifying!

Even though the Chief Priestess had eased her discomfort a bit, she still felt a little unwell.

After the two of them left,

in the reception room, only Raiden Shogun remained.

Mm, along with a skewer of "Three-Colored Dango."

"Next time, go to the boss's place and read a gourmet manga! Otherwise, for everyone else's safety, you'd better stay out of the kitchen!"

The General slowly shook her head.

The delicious seasoning was only an auxiliary effect.

The most fundamental thing is the dish itself.

If the quality is poor, it will inevitably cause problems.

Just look—someone has already been "poisoned"!

"I don't believe it; I'll test for myself whether it really makes people uncomfortable!"

Raiden Shogun clung to her final defiance.

She then picked up the "Three-Color Dumpling" on the table and bit into it.

"How does it feel?"

Seeing Yae's action, Raiden Shogun's eyes held a hint of curiosity.

She wondered whether this thing would poison her too.

"No reaction at all—it's even tastier than what's sold outside!"

Raiden Shogun snorted coldly.

Yet shortly after she finished eating,

Suddenly,

A faint discomfort arose in her body.

But Yae was, after all, the Thunder Kami!

So she did not collapse like Zaowan, only furrowed her brow.

It was enough to preserve the last shred of dignity in her cooking.

This detail, of course, did not escape Raiden Shogun's notice.

But she did not complain further.

First, she had already complained enough,

And second, at this moment, the Delicious Radish had borne fruit.

"Try it!"

A spark of interest lit in Raiden Shogun's eyes as she stepped forward to harvest it.

Yae also noticed this at that moment.

She closed her eyes and her consciousness directly entered the Pure Land of One Mind.
