The Story of Demon Hunter

“Ordinary small chef?”

Saying that, Tetsuo clearly did not believe it. If it was only a small chef, his skills would obviously not be as good.

“Better finish your food first before cold. After all, the taste will change a little after the cold.” Arthur said lazy.

“Good.”

Tetsuo nodded and began to eat his food again. Although he was curious, he did not stop eating. Just keep thinking about it in silence.

The young man then glanced at Mei who also looked curious about the store boss. But when he sees Arthur who does not care about him and instead plays with Lily. This made Tetsuo feel relieved.

‘Is that boss's sister? Being the head of the family at such a young age that honed his skills so seriously? Making an incredible achievement?’

Thinking of the various pathetic back-stories that Arthur might have experienced, the somewhat angry Tetsuo felt calmer at first. He no longer hated the young man for not giving him face. Instead, the young man felt somewhat pity for Arthur.

“I retract my words Boss. Your cooking is worth the price!”

Just then, Gumi who put down the empty bowl said with a happy expression on her face. The girl then looked at Arthur with the rest of the rice still stuck to the corner of her lips.

“I order one more fried rice Bos!” he said with a happy tone.

“Sorry. One day one person can only buy one same dish.”

Hearing Arthur's absurd answer, Gumi completely lost her composure.

The girl clearly did not understand why Arthur refused the money that came. Not only the way to receive and serve guests, even the way to sell the dishes did not make sense.

At the moment Gumi was about to get angry, Mei who was by her side patted her on the shoulder then said softly.

“Bos says you can't buy fried rice anymore. But that does not mean you can not buy another menu.”

Mei's speech made Gumi's eyes sparkle. He then looked at Arthur with a sly smile on his face.

“Do you have any Boss recommendations?” ask Gumi.

“After eating the main course, I recommend eating dessert. If you don't eat a snack, it's okay. From your looks, it seems that you like something cooked with oil.

Well, then, how about this? The fried skin is dry, taste savory and crispy. Suitable eaten with different types of sauces.”

“Snack after meal! Certainly not a bad idea!”

Gumi said with a happy expression on her face. He then looked towards Arthur with sparkling eyes.

“Then two portions Boss! Here's the money!”

Seeing the originally stingy Gumi behaving generously, Arthur raised his eyebrows. He had not expected to meet the little princess of a rich family at all. Really do not care about his spending as long as he feels satisfied.

“How about coming to work with me Boss? All the ingredients are from me and we can talk about the wages.”

Hearing Gumi's words, Arthur who walked into the kitchen shook his head while replying with a friendly smile.

“Thank you for the offer. However, it was a pity that I did not intend to work under anyone else. Especially on cooking jobs.”

By the time Arthur started cooking, his scent made people go back hungry and wanting to eat. However, Tetsuo ended up holding back because he did not want to be too extravagant. Moreover, he had to pay the money to eat his three minions.

Absolutely something detrimental!

After some time, Gumi and Mei who finished eating the snack felt very satisfied.

After eating and sitting for a while, the six of them left the restaurant with a satisfied expression on their faces. Even Mei's expression seemed softer and not as cold as usual.

“It seems you are happy, Junior.” Tetsuo said in May.

“Indeed. I really didn't expect to find such a magical shop. After returning, I will report to guru.”

Hearing Mei's remark, one of the minions couldn't help but say in a confused tone.

“Indeed the cuisine of the Boss is very tasty. But you don't have to think it's magical, right? I mean, it's food.”

“That justification makes it more magical.” Mei smiled mysteriously. “If you guys pay close attention to it. You can definitely realize that your strength is slightly increased.”

Mei's words left five others shocked including Tetsuo. As they sensed the energy in their respective bodies, the five people were again shocked.

“If eat like that every day, won't we level up even without practicing?”

“Yes! Absolutely awesome!”

“...”

As the three minions spoke to each other with excited expressions, Tetsuo's words instantly extinguished the flames of their hope.

“Eat every day? Even if you sell organs, you can not do it because the price is too high.”

Hearing that, the people let out a long sigh with disappointed expressions. Mei shook her head while Gumi seemed to think of something in silence.

After that, the six men went on their way.

About an hour later, Arthur, who finished lunch and washed the dishes, now sits down with Lily.

“Truly boring.”

Lily propped up her chin with both hands. He looked towards Arthur who was busy reading the book then puffed his cheeks. Pouting while feeling dissatisfied.

“Why Joe doesn't return Arthur soon?”

“Hm? Do you miss him? Tumben once you search Joe.”

“Not because of longing, but bored. Arthur, Arthur ... let's play something fun?”

Hearing Lily's spoiled speech like a little sister who invites her brother to play, Arthur closes his book. He then looked towards the little girl while asking.

“What do you want to play? Chess? Card?”

“Arthur, Arthur ... let's play outside!”

Realizing that it was late afternoon and there were no guests, Arthur finally chose to agree to Lily's request. Due to storing precious materials in his dimensional space, the young man left after tidying up and closing the shop.

Looking at the excited-looking Lily, Arthur asked, “Where are you going?”

“Walk around town!” said Lily.

“Do you want to buy something? If you want, just say it and I'll buy it. No need to be ashamed.”

Looking at Arthur who was smiling gently towards her, Lily felt very happy. He hugged the young man's hand and said.

“Arthur, Arthur .. can I keep a pet?”

“Pet?” Arthur raised his eyebrows. “But it's a bit hard to maintain. If careless, it may die and you will be sad.”

“I promise I will take good care of him!” lily said with a pleading look.

Looking at the girl filled with determination, Arthur let out a long sigh. In the end he nodded.

“Then we will go to pet store after sightseeing.”

“Yay! Thank you so much Arthur!”

Arthur stroked the little girl's head while saying, “Sama-sama.”

They both started walking around the city. It's just, things didn't go according to their idea.

Just arriving at the market to look around the goods, Arthur and Lily were immediately treated to quite an interesting spectacle.

A pair of teenagers who seemed to be cultivators buying items were stopped by a certain young master and his minions.

Seeing such a scene, Arthur could not help but complain in his heart.

‘Special protagonists save beauty plagued by the rich second generation. Truly a cliche plot that I haven't seen in a long time!’
