Throughout the kitchen space, people moved quickly, their figures appearing exceptionally busy under the lights. Everyone was focused on their work, meticulously completing each step.
In this situation, Mitsuri's arrival seemed somewhat redundant.
"Hoshino-sama, have I come at an inopportune time?"
Seeing Hoshino Sora look her way, Mitsuri, feeling that she had disturbed him, said cautiously, her feet outside the kitchen unsure whether to go in or stay out.
"Not at all, I'm very happy you came. It's just a bit busy right now, but being busy isn't your fault. Go rest over there; I'll cook something special for you later."
Hearing Mitsuri's somewhat 'timid' words, Hoshino Sora gave a carefree smile, then waved his hand indifferently, pointing to a table in the corner of the kitchen, preparing to have her wait there for a while.
"Is that okay? Isn't it very busy outside…?"
"Relax, although it's indeed very busy, my current cooking skill allows me to operate ten pots simultaneously. It's easy to spare two pots for your dishes. Just sit there and wait for your meal."
That's right, after a long period of work, Hoshino Sora's Silver Chopsticks Ten Pot Return had been perfected. Now, simultaneously controlling ten pots to cook ten different dishes was child's play for him.
Wiping his hands clean with a towel, Hoshino Sora came before Mitsuri, took her hand, and led her to sit at the nearby table. Afterward, he pinched her face twice; the soft, squishy feeling was wonderful.
"Yes, Hoshino-sama."
Feeling the warmth on her cheeks, Mitsuri responded with a slight blush, then obediently sat to the side, gazing intently at Hoshino Sora, admiring his heroic cooking posture.
That's right, it was heroic.
In Mitsuri's eyes, Hoshino Sora looked very handsome no matter what he did. To put it simply, it was a love filter. Because she and Hoshino Sora met infrequently and had no chance to meet on weekdays, her feelings for him were exceptionally fervent!
Hoshino Sora naturally understood this, so every time Butterfly Ninja and Mitsuri came, he would accompany them individually, wholeheartedly staying with the two of them.
Because he knew they wouldn't stay in the Dimensional Restaurant for too long.
The moment he thought about what they were facing, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but feel heartbroken for them, so he would usually give them more love, filling them with the motivation to live on.
Don't underestimate this motivation; at critical moments, it could play a huge role.
"Mitsuri, is there anything you've particularly wanted to eat recently? Today, I'll prioritize making your favorite dishes."
"Yes! Lately, I've especially wanted to eat meat, all kinds of grilled meat! Taking a bite, I feel like I'd get immense satisfaction! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water uncontrollably."
"Grilled meat, huh? I understand. That's simple; I'll have it ready for you in half an hour."
By the way, the top-grade chicken, pork, and beef used this time are all from Gourmet Manor. You'll understand the specific wonders once you taste them later."
Hoshino Sora said with a playful smile, then began cooking. He swiftly took out the pre-marinated meat from his system backpack and expertly chopped it into equal-sized small pieces.
Then, he pulled out a string of iron skewers. Barbecue, barbecue, real barbecue is grilled over a fire. The smoky aroma of charcoal perfectly combines with the smell of meat, making the grilled meat the most fragrant!
Alternating fatty and lean meat, they were threaded onto skewers and placed in the hanging wall oven. After about half an hour, string after string of richly fragrant grilled skewers were ready.
"Gulp."
Looking at the grilled meat skewers, which were as thick as her forearm, Mitsuri Kanroji couldn't help but swallow, her eyes widening slightly. The intense aroma also wafted through the kitchen, attracting the attention of those outside.
"Sora, the customers said there's a very pleasant smell coming from the kitchen, and they all want to order this dish. What are you cooking? It smells so good!"
Smelling the lingering aroma in the air, Asaka looked very interested, her gaze moving around the kitchen. Soon, she pinpointed the steaming grill.
"Just simple grilled meat, with a little secret spice added. I didn't expect the effect to be so significant."
Shrugging, Hoshino Sora opened the grill next to him. This was the second batch of grilled meat; the first batch had already been delivered to Mitsuri Kanroji's table, and she was eating happily.
"Those who want grilled meat will have to wait a bit. The next batch and the one after that are all for Mitsuri. This little girl has quite an appetite. Go tell them that if they're not in a hurry, they can eat in about an hour."
"Got it, but you're really good to Mitsuri."
Glancing enviously at Mitsuri Kanroji, Asaka left the kitchen. Hoshino Sora lowered his head and continued cooking, reaching into his system backpack to pull out another grill, using both grills simultaneously to cook the skewers.
Her hands didn't stop either, simultaneously operating eight pots to cook dishes. The kitchen remained a hive of activity, with a large number of orders keeping them from relaxing.
Time passed bit by bit, and soon the last batch of customers left. Only he and Mitsuri Kanroji remained in the kitchen. She quietly waited for him to finish, sitting on a chair with her arms outstretched.
"Hoshino-sama~ I missed you so much!"
Her voice was sweet and cloying as she pouted, after all, they hadn't seen each other for so long, and her longing for Hoshino Sora had reached an unbearable degree!
"I'm here. It's been a while, hasn't it? Where's Kochou Shinobu? Did you get another Demon Slayer mission nearby?"
He raised a hand and gently stroked Mitsuri Kanroji's small head as she buried herself in his arms. Her pink hair looked very fluffy, and even braided, one could feel its abundance.
"No, I just wanted to see you, so I came."
"I see, no wonder Kochou Shinobu isn't with you. I missed you too. Speaking of which, how's the Mugen Train situation? Is it progressing smoothly? Flame Hashira should still be alive, right?"
"Kyojuro-san is very healthy! We even killed Akaza, this is the first time our Pillars have killed an Upper Rank in nearly a hundred years, all thanks to Hoshino-sama!"
Nodding, Mitsuri Kanroji smiled at Hoshino Sora, then raised her head and kissed him, her movements a bit clumsy.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora no longer held back. He picked her up and headed towards the staff lounge nearby, where there was a luxurious bed large enough for two.
"Hoshino-sama, I learned a new move."
After a long while, Mitsuri Kanroji said, her breathing a little ragged. At this moment, she was in peak condition, her heartbeat accelerating, her cheeks flushed, and her body feeling somewhat hot.
"What move?"
