Sora was busy in the kitchen.
Batsunsai Katori, meanwhile, was sitting on the veranda of the courtyard, drinking tea. Apart from her pale face, she looked much better now.
"What are you making? The aroma is incredible," Batsunsai said, her nose twitching as she smelled a rich, savory scent.
"I'm preparing a very delicious dish!" Sora's voice came from the kitchen.
"A dish?" Batsunsai was intrigued. That wonderful smell was definitely related to good food.
Cooking the wild boar shank was a long process. First, it had to be seared, then slowly simmered for hours with herbs and vegetables to break down the tough meat until it was tender.
"It's done! I actually succeeded!" Sora said, his words sounding very unreliable.
A deep, fragrant bowl of stew was placed in front of Batsunsai.
She looked at the bowl in front of her with a curious expression. The aroma coming from this dish was on a completely different level from what he usually made.
"Of course you can eat it. I cooked it very well, don't worry," Sora said, handing her a spoon.
With a thought, Sora checked Batsunsai's status.
Batsunsai Katori
Talent: S+
Spiritual Pressure: LV 46 (97)
Affinity Level: Close
Status: Spiritual Core severely damaged (Does this really taste as good as it smells?)
Just then, a sound came from the side of the wall.
"It smells so good!" The voice sounded somewhat familiar. He turned his head and saw a person perched on the courtyard wall.
"Kana Azashiro? What are you doing?" It was his student.
"I was going to the market... and I smelled the aroma as I passed by..." Kana said with a dazed expression, staring blankly at the bowl in Sora's hand, as if she were about to drool.
"If you want some, come on over. I made plenty," Sora said gently.
"Really! Hey—Professor Katori, what are you doing here?!" Kana finally realized who was holding the bowl.
"The wall you're climbing is my house's wall," Sora couldn't help but find it amusing.
"So it's Professor Katori's house! Then I won't be polite!" Kana pushed herself up with both hands, flipped her whole body over, and jumped into the courtyard.
After she took a spoon, she eagerly scooped up a piece of the tender meat and put it in her mouth.
"Mmm—this is delicious!" Kana's eyes lit up. "The meat is so soft it melts in your mouth!"
Batsunsai watched the girl's genuine expression of enjoyment and was perplexed. Is Sora's cooking really that good?
She also took a spoonful. An expression of disbelief appeared on her face. The meat was unbelievably tender, falling apart with the slightest touch, and the rich, savory sauce was full of deep flavor.
But soon Batsunsai frowned, looking at Sora with a somewhat unfriendly gaze. The food he used to make for her was not of this level. Was this kid acting before?
"During these days of my recovery, Sora's cooking skills have improved greatly," Batsunsai said.
"I've had a recent epiphany, and my cooking skills have advanced by leaps and bounds," Sora made things up.
While the two were talking, Kana didn't stop her spoon, continuously scooping up the stew.
"Ah—I accidentally finished it all!" she said, her spoon hovering over the empty bowl, a bit embarrassed.
"It's okay. If you like it, eat more. There's still some in the kitchen," Sora said, picking up the bowl and heading to the kitchen. Kana followed him.
"There's so much more!" Kana's eyes lit up when she saw another pot of stew on the table.
After eating the stew, she felt a special warmth spreading through her body. "It's not just delicious... it feels like my energy is recovering!"
The effect of the "Divine Chef" ability exceeded Sora's expectations.
"If you like it, you can have more," Sora said. Kana quickly ate another bowl. "Delicious!"
She looked at the remaining pot with longing but stopped herself. She had to leave some for the professor and the lady in the courtyard.
"The noodles are ready," Sora called out. A short while later, Batsunsai also walked into the kitchen. The three of them ate at the table. Even the simple noodle soup Sora made had them eating with great appetite.
Kana was the fastest, not even leaving a drop of soup. "Mmm—I'm done!" she said, patting her belly. "Professor Katori's cooking is really too good!"
An idea struck Sora, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "Student Azashiro, would you like to eat the professor's cooking often?"
