The Story of Demon Hunter

Farewell and Meeting

"Why is everyone quiet?"

The little girl tilted her head. He looked at the people in the living room with an innocent expression.

"Are you awake, Aoi?" murasaki asked with a gentle smile.

In front of people's shocked eyes, Arthur approached the little girl and squatted in front of her. He then waved his hand gently with a smile.

"Hello, Aoi. My name is Arthur, I'm a friend of Momo's. Greetings?"

The little girl named Aoi looked confused. Staring at the handsome young man in front of her, the little girl tilted her head in another direction. But his expression changed when he saw something that he thought was unique and strange.

Aoi rubbed her eyes. He once again looked towards Arthur and was shocked.

"Do your eyes hurt, brother? Did Aoi see wrong?" the little girl looked confused.

"Of course Aoi didn't look wrong." Arthur smiled. "This is a disorder that has happened since I was born. Different eye colors, also called heterochromia."

"Hithere ... Hiterocormic?" Aoi tilted her head.

Arthur simply smiled and stroked the little girl's head. After a while, he again heard Aoi's voice.

"Is Momo coming home? Aoi misses Momo very much."

"..."

Everyone is silent. For a girl as small as Aoi who did not understand many things, they were at a loss as to what to say. After all, Momo has been gone for almost two years. Gone since Aoi was very small.

"Sir Aoi has not been able to return because she is busy studying. Before graduation, he could not return. So Aoi had to wait patiently."

"Then why did Arthur and Miss come?" Aoi looked confused.

"We came to defeat the bad guys. Yes ... more precisely that sister, her name is Sister Reyna.

He will defeat the bad guys and make this village better."

"Wow! Is that brother the hero in the story?" Aoi looked at Reyna with sparkling eyes.

Reyna looked awkward. The cold girl did not seem to be good at dealing with small children. He forced himself to smile while greeting.

"Hello, Aoi."

"Hey, that smile looked terrible."

Arthur said in a careless tone. It instantly made Reyna look at him with a ferocious expression. Clearly blaming Arthur for making an exaggerated introduction.

Just then, a rumbling stomach voice sounded. Everyone stared at Aoi. The little girl smiled shyly as she muttered, "Aoi is hungry."

"Then let me cook. Can I borrow the kitchen?" arthur said relax.

"Eh? Tell guests to cook it ..." Murasaki looked doubtful.

"Can Arthur cook?" aoi asked with a confused expression.

"Of course you can." Arthur grinned. He then glanced towards Midorima. "Midorima, right? May I ask for the mushrooms you got from the forest. It must be better than cultivated mushrooms."

"That's ... Alright!" midorima.

Midorima actually wanted to refuse. However, for some reason he did not dare to refuse. It seemed, there was something dangerous behind that relaxed and somewhat frivolous smile.

"Thank you!" said Arthur. He then looked at Aoi. "Can you take me to the kitchen, Aoi?"

"En! Sure thing!" Aoi nodded, seemingly very pleased.

The two then went to the kitchen.

Arthur then prepared various cooking utensils. So complete, the tools confused Aoi and Midorima who came carrying bamboo baskets.

After lighting a fire on the stove, Arthur started boiling water.

Boil the meat for a while, then poop the dirty water. Replace the boiled water with new water, re-boil the meat until half-cooked. This second meat boiled water should not be thrown away because it will be used as a broth.

Cut up all the vegetable matter.

Reboil the broth.

Put the meat and carrot pieces. When the carrot is half-cooked, add mushrooms, chickpeas, and potatoes. Boil until all vegetable matter is cooked.

Put cabbage, tomatoes, leeks, and celery leaves. Add salt, mushroom broth, and ground pepper. Taste correction. Cook until all ingredients are cooked. Lift and serve

"Wild Crocodile x Mushroom Soup is ready!" arthur said with a smile on his face.

Although not a difficult dish, the moves made when Arthur cooked looked elegant. He cooked quietly, like flowing water. Really quite professional, unlike his careless appearance!

Looking at Arthur who was serving dishes in a bit of style, Aoi laughed as she clapped. He seems to like Arthur's appearance.

Midorima himself was also shocked. He did not expect that the handsome young man and looked like a swordsman was still an expert in cooking.

"It's just simple cooking" Arthur said with a gentle smile. "Do you want to try it, Aoi?"

"Can???" aoi asked with sparkling eyes.

After having Aoi taste it, Arthur immediately asked the people to go to the dining room and eat together.

They all ate together. Although it was only soup, it seemed that the Momo brothers and sisters were very happy and satisfied.

"It's been a long time since we've eaten meat" Midorima murmured.

"The shape is quite similar to beef, but it tastes like chicken. What is this meat, Brother Arthur?" ask Murasaki.

"Gloe meat." Arthur said while stroking his chin.

"MALAY??!" murasaki said with a surprised expression.

"Yes. It's a pity it's just an ordinary crocodile. Though I wish I could lure copper back crocodiles." After saying that, Arthur let out a long sigh.

'Crocodile? Fishing out? Fishing monsters?'

Murasaki looked confused. Just then Reyna patted him on the shoulder while reminding.

"Don't think too much. If you think too much about it, you will be confused by that person. Ignore it!"

"Is the crocodile strong, Brother Murasaki?" aoi asked with a confused expression.

"If the size is large, the hunting team in our village may be difficult, not even able to deal with it." Murasaki gave an opinion.

"Wow!" Aoi looked at Arthur with an amazed expression.

"Hmmm ..." Arthur stroked his chin.

Looking towards the serious-looking Arthur, Reyna could not help but ask.

"What's wrong with you, Arthur?"

"I know that crocodiles are not fish, but are still semi-aquatic creatures. So, instead of chicken, why doesn't the meat taste like fish meat?

Is it really different in taste just because it's reptile?"

"You ... whatever! Just think for yourself!"

Reyna was really angry. He thought that Arthur was trying to come up with a strategy to fight the enemy. The girl was instantly enraged when she found out that the young man was thinking such unimportant things!

"Then I better think about it while walking."

After saying that, Arthur stood up. He then walked out of the house. Before coming out, the young man glanced back while saying.

"The girls just stay home. Including you, Aoi."

"..."

Hearing Arthur's words, Aoi who was about to get down from the chair looked displeased.

Meanwhile, Midorima who had been hesitating a bit suddenly stood up. He immediately followed Arthur away.

A dozen meters away from the house, Midorima immediately shouted.

"Wait for me, Brother Arthur!"

"Hm?" Arthur looked. Looking towards the hurried Midorima, he smiled. "It turns out you can be polite."

"Woman .. I mean, Brother Momo ..."

Midorima followed Arthur with an anxious and curious expression. After stabilizing his breathing, he continued.

"Will he really come back?"

"You should ask Reyna."

"..."

Looking towards the silent Midorima, Arthur shook his head lightly. He then laughed. Having a smile on his face, the young man said.

"In my own opinion. He'll definitely be back."

"Why?" midorima asked with a puzzled expression.

"Because you're his family and ..."

Arthur walked away and turned his back on Midorima.

"Momo, that girl parted ways with you guys only to be reunited."
