The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1126: Stand Firm!

Jason stared at the woman who was chewing on ’Renowned Blades,’ somewhat dumbfounded.

This was the first time he had seen someone Devour ’swords.’

Teeth, tongue, were they all modified?

That’s not right!

Not only the teeth and tongue but the entire oral cavity, esophagus, and stomach as well.

Like him, yet different.

His enhancement was very straightforward.

The whole process was just a moment.

One could even say that after a moment of distraction, it was all over.

But the other’s transformation?

It would be extremely painful.

And moreover, for the body to truly adapt and absorb other types of food, that process would be tremendously lengthy.

It was already painful.

Then add the protracted duration.

Jason just had to think about it, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

Facing such a person, what reason did he have to refuse her invitation?

It was absolutely not because the ’Renowned Blades’ in front of him smelled so appetizing; it was because he admired her capacity for enduring pain.

Therefore, the next moment—

Hum!

Jason promptly picked up the ’Renowned Blade’ in front of him.

This ’Renowned Blade’ seemed to sense something, beginning to tremble incessantly, emitting buzz after buzz.

Even, there was an intention to break free from Jason’s control.

Jason immediately tightened his grip.

Then, without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and put the ’Renowned Blade’ into his mouth.

Crunch! Crunch!

The crisp chewing sound was transmitted.

Kusakabe Rei’s eyes lit up.

It’s him! It’s really him! It is indeed him!

The one she had been waiting for had finally appeared!

Before she fully succumbed to darkness!

He has come!

It is truly... wonderful!

For no apparent reason, Kusakabe Rei’s eyes reddened.

Who could understand the loneliness of being alone?

Especially when those around are supposedly ’companions,’ yet not a single one is like oneself—such loneliness.

Being lonely alone is not terrible.

What’s frightening is feeling lonely in a bustling environment.

But, that was before!

Now?

She has met someone just like her.

That’s right!

Human!

Kusakabe Rei firmly believed she was human!

Just because she likes to eat something a bit special, how could she not be considered human?

Jason completely agreed with this.

He just eats a wider variety of things, a larger quantity of things, doesn’t he know that being able to eat is a blessing?

Savoring the food as sweet as honey, Jason comfortably squinted his eyes.

The crust was crispy.

The inside was tender and soft.

The sweet taste lingered with his taste buds from the beginning to the end. freёnovelkiss.com

Caramelized banana!

Jason instantly recognized what it was.

What surprised Jason was that this ’food’ was unexpectedly delicious.

Any one of the previous ten ’Renowned Blades’ couldn’t compare to this ’food.’

It’s not that those ten ’Renowned Blades’ weren’t tasty.

It’s that this ’Renowned Blade’ was more delicious.

Despite being made from similar materials, the taste was on another level altogether.

It was as if it were the same dish, one made by an ordinary chef and the other by a culinary god.

The former being flavorful and complete in every way is admirable.

But the latter, it endows the dish with a soul.

For example: the soul-stirring rice dish.

The former is just ordinary char siu rice.

The latter has a ’soul’ that elevates the entire dish beyond its own category.

At this moment, the ’Renowned Blade’ in Jason’s mouth is just like that.

It was not any false sensation.

It’s definitely not a problem with Jason’s taste buds.

But rather a true sense of—

[Devouring the River’s Edge (Complete)]

[Physical Strength, Energy, Injury Recovery Exceeding Normal Limits!]

[Fullness +450]

[Fullness: 2771]

[Excitement of Feast: +3]

[Excitement of Feast: 14]

...

The data before him accurately reflected the precision of Jason’s taste.

A fullness callout far beyond any other ’Renowned Blade,’ Excitement of Feast.

Especially the Excitement of Feast!

3 points!

Even for Jason, gaining 3 points of Excitement of Feast at once was a cause for delight.

However, Jason didn’t glance at the ’Complete’ tag.

"Complete?"

Jason muttered softly and couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

He had a guess.

Subconsciously, Jason looked at the woman before him.

Kusakabe Rei, facing Jason’s gaze, blushed.

But this Onmyoji who defected from her family didn’t have any intention to avoid or equivocate. She spoke very honestly—

"Could you resist the temptation not to taste ’food’?"

Jason nodded to this question.

He really couldn’t do it.

The gourd at his waist was an exception.

He used unconventional means.

It was not comparable.

Moreover, what amazed him was that after tasting it, she was able to resist not eating up all the previous ten ’Renowned Blades,’ for which Jason had immense respect.

Because, he simply couldn’t do it.

Of course, this did not prevent Jason’s frown from tightening more and more.

She had eaten it.

Then he ate it.

An indirect kiss?

That doesn’t count! That doesn’t count!

Matters of food are pure, how can you mix up other things with it?

This is an insult to food!

No!

It’s actually blasphemous!

I have to face this fact!

Quickly, Jason threw this thought out of his mind, stood up straight, and bowed slightly.

"Thank you!"

"I’ll return the favor later!"

Jason spoke in such a manner.

When someone treats you to food, you must be grateful.

And returning the favor later is a must.

The reason why food lovers can live in peace is by following these rules.

"Sure thing!"

"I am Kusakabe Rei!"

Kusakabe Rei extended her hand generously.

Jason hesitated for a moment, then shook her hand.

"Jason."

Jason said his name.
