To Kamishiro Rize.
Of course, she would eat anything made by Yuzuki.
After all, she would vomit it out by the time she got home, so it didn't matter what she ate.
It's just that Kamishiro Rize's acting skills were quite good, so in her previous appearances, she always managed to stay calm, even showing excitement when swallowing her saliva.
In the kitchen.
Yuzuki, who was thawing thick cuts of steak and preparing food, couldn't help but sigh.
Kamishiro Rize, the Glutton.
Her genes were excellent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been trained as Kakuhou's mother from a young age.
She even evolved to Dragon level in the end.
She was beautiful, but her mind was somewhat abnormal.
And she was also a greedy person.
With this person tracking him to the store, Yuzuki instinctively knew that he had become a target.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Yuzuki thought for a moment and checked the system mission.
[ Mission complete, reward: Myriad World Food Lottery x1 ]
"Draw it."
[ Drawing… Congratulations on obtaining: Blood of a Super Species! ]
"What blood?"
Yuzuki took the reward from the system.
The next moment, his hand was holding a plate.
The plate was filled with fresh blood, and on the surface of the blood, a ghostly demon face grinned menacingly at him.
"That's you."
Yuzuki suddenly remembered.
This wasn't duck blood or ordinary blood.
It was the Imperial Weapon or taigu in the Akame ga Kill world, named [Demon God Manifestation: Demon's Extract].
Although it was an Imperial Weapon, it could also be considered a type of ability, like a Devil Fruit.
It could freely control ice, attack, defend, and manipulate easily, with impressive speed and strength.
And it also had two super strong hidden abilities.
One of them was Makahadoma, which could freeze space-time. Esdeath's limit was once a day, but based on its effects, the stronger a person's physique, the shorter the interval for repeated use.
The other was Ice Cavalry, which was an AoE group skill. The key was that the ability could be stored and then released all at once.
"Not bad."
Yuzuki quite liked this ability.
The next moment, he unhesitatingly took it and drank it.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp~~~"
With the ability to devour all food for his own needs.
Demon God Manifestation: Demon's Extract was certainly a type of food for Yuzuki.
Isn't blood food?
Haven't you seen how people can be considered food?
A few seconds later.
"Ah~!"
Yuzuki finished the entire pot of fresh blood.
"Refreshing!"
The next moment.
His heart raced, and a buzzing sound echoed in his mind.
In his consciousness, the demon's consciousness thrashed and screamed, then was completely devoured by Yuzuki's consciousness, leaving nothing but the ability.
In reality.
On the outside of Yuzuki's left shoulder, a triangular demon mark appeared.
He lifted his shoulder, looked at it, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Very nice, I'll just consider this a tattoo."
After the perfect absorption.
Yuzuki clenched his fist, feeling tremendous power in his muscles.
And he could continue to grow stronger through training.
Just like developing a Devil Fruit.
As for the ability…
Yuzuki looked at the thick cuts of steak that were thawing.
He extended his finger and pressed it against the steak.
The next second, the half-thawed steak instantly turned into a block of ice that even bullets couldn't penetrate.
He released his finger and pressed again.
The next moment, the block of ice instantly disappeared. All the cold air from the thick beef cut vanished, and the beef returned to a normal temperature.
Super fast thawing!
Yuzuki thought for a moment, then turned to unplug the refrigerator.
Then he opened the fridge and touched a spot on the inner wall.
The next moment, a thin layer of ice formed inside the fridge, and it was ice that wouldn't melt for a long time.
Even the temperature was just right!
"This worked."
Yuzuki liked his ability more and more, and he was getting better at using it.
Looking at his hands, Yuzuki suddenly thought.
Could he add some "spices" to the food, hiding his ability within it, so that after others ate it, he could freeze them whenever he wanted?
And it would be the kind that freezes from the inside out!
He looked at the steak prepared for Kamishiro Rize.
Yuzuki coughed lightly twice: "Then, let's give it a try. After all, Ghouls aren't that easy to kill."
...
On the other side.
The Anteiku sign was flipped, indicating that it was time to close for the day.
Inside the store, some were cleaning, while others were tidying up.
Items like coffee cups and coffee machines needed to be washed every day after closing.
Kirishima Touka was cleaning the tables, her expression somewhat gloomy, wondering what she was thinking. Occasionally, she looked out the window, especially into the alley, appearing worried about something.
"That person still hasn't come out."
The person Kirishima Touka referred to was Kamishiro Rize.
Ding-a-ling~
Just then, the doorbell rang. Touka turned, about to say that they were closed, but then realized it was Manager Yoshimura who had returned.
Manager Yoshimura was an old man with white hair and slanted eyes.
"Manager!"
Everyone looked at the Manager.
Yoshimura understood from their expressions and still asked with a smile,
"What happened today?"
Kirishima Touka and the others recounted the events of the day.
In particular, what happened after Yuzuki sent the gift, and Kamishiro Rize followed him.
"That person went out and hasn't returned!" Kirishima Touka quickly reminded the Manager: "If she eats the manager tonight, the CCG will track her back here immediately!"
Yoshimura listened, then nodded slightly: "Rize won't be in a hurry."
Kirishima Touka wanted to say more.
However, Yoshimura suddenly snorted and looked at the gift bag on the cashier's table.
Facing the Manager's gaze,
Koma Enji immediately introduced: "This is a souvenir from that young manager. It should be food. We haven't opened it yet. Touka can give it to her human friend."
They couldn't eat human food.
So, if they didn't want to waste it, letting Touka give it to her human friend was the best option.
But the Manager's expression was slightly different.
The corners of his eyes straightened a bit, then he walked toward the souvenir, and under everyone's gaze, he opened it, pulling out a box of cookies.
Everyone looked: "Sakura Cake."
The Manager snorted again, and his usually squinting smile turned somewhat serious.
At that moment, everyone realized something was wrong.
Under everyone's serious gaze, Manager Yoshimura opened the lid, took a piece of Sakura Cake, and to everyone's surprise, put it in his mouth and began to taste it.
Enji Koma, Kaya Irimi, Touka Kirishima: "!!!"
