Capítulo 179: Chapter 178: I Want You to Be My Boyfriend!
The kitchen knife was enormous, nearly two meters long, the blades have a sleek and curved katana shape, enhancing their elegance and cutting ability.
"Is this a kitchen knife?"
Sui murmured to himself as he examined the knife. An ordinary person would struggle to even lift it, let alone use it. However, with his enhanced physical abilities, Sui effortlessly hoisted the massive blade.
This type of knife was clearly meant for processing large ingredients, such as beef, pork, and tuna. The fantasy ingredients Sui had acquired all shared a common trait—they were of immense size, like the Red-Haired Pig and the Dream Catfish. This knife was perfect for him.
He then read through the kitchenware's description:
—Nichirin Kitchen Knife
[Just one knife.]
—Features: Sharp, never wears out.
—Origin: Slayer World.
"It has the same features as the other two knives," Sui noted with satisfaction. The 'never wears out' feature might seem trivial, but it was actually invaluable. Even the finest kitchen knives eventually wear out or break. The fact that this set of system knives would never wear out made them truly extraordinary.
Next, he reviewed the descriptions of the two new ingredients:
—Cheese Rabbit
'Grade: B'
'Description: The protein in its body coagulates easily, giving its meat a rich, cheese-like texture. Roasting is the ideal method for preparing this meat, as high heat will lock in the protein, creating a delicious burst of flavor when eaten.'
'Origin: Gourmet World.'
—Freezer Bison
'Grade: B'
'Description: This bison stores large amounts of fat to withstand cold environments, resulting in exceptionally flavorful meat. When grilled, it has a light, salty taste that is incredibly delicious.'
'Origin: Gourmet World.'
Although there were no Grade A ingredients this time, both of these were as precious and delectable as the Red-Haired Pork, making this a very rewarding haul.
Sui then checked the prices for the new ingredients. The Freezer Bison was far more expensive than the Red-Haired Pork, priced at 30 million yen, while the Cheese Rabbit was much cheaper, at only one million yen each. Still, converting to USD, each rabbit would cost about 7 thousand, making it quite a pricey delicacy.
Afterwards, Sui headed out of the mansion and found a secluded forest area where he released the Freezer Bison.
Seeing the creature in person, Sui understood why it was so expensive. It was gigantic, standing about 3.5 meters tall and stretching 8 meters in length, covered in thick, blue fur. In comparison, the Red-Haired Pig, which was only 2.8 meters tall and 2 meters long, seemed minuscule—perhaps only one-fifth the size of the Freezer Bison. Considering this, the price actually seemed quite reasonable.
The moment the Freezer Bison appeared, the surrounding air turned icy, and the beast regarded Sui warily.
Sui smiled and drew the Nichirin Kitchen Knife. He then performed the cooking technique "Raging Bull Azure Dragon Cut," a move he had practiced countless times.
The Raging Bull Azure Dragon Cut was a secret technique from the dark culinary world, said to dismember a bull instantly without spilling a single drop of blood. A bright flash of the blade later, the Freezer Bison's body stiffened before collapsing, its limbs severed in an instant, and its organs strewn across the ground.
Sui shook his head with a hint of regret. He hadn't achieved the legendary precision of the technique. Of course, the bison's immense size was also a contributing factor.
He then set about preparing the ingredients.
Like the Red-Haired Pig, every part of the bison was valuable—the tongue, tripe, and heart were all excellent ingredients. He also saved the hide, though he left the blood, as it wasn't as palatable as pig's blood and had a slightly fishy taste.
Based on Sui's estimates, this Freezer Bison was roughly the size of an African elephant, weighing around four to five tons. After draining the blood and removing the bones, he would have about three tons of meat, which was still a considerable yield.
In the evening, a celebration party was held at Erina's residence to commemorate Megumi and Sōma making it to the semi-finals.
Sui treated everyone to a beef hotpot made from the Freezer Bison. The meal was a resounding success, and everyone was captivated by the flavor of the beef.
Mito Ikumi, in particular, was astonished. Even premium 5A-grade beef didn't compare to this taste.
The hotpot, combined with the sake provided by Rindō, was so delicious that everyone ate ravenously, almost swallowing their tongues in delight.
They enjoyed the meal late into the night, playing cards and drinking, the atmosphere lively and joyous.
Of course, Alice was present as well. Throughout the meal, she stole glances at Sui, her expression unreadable. Whenever Sui turned to look at her, she would blush and quickly lower her head.
By the early hours of the morning, the living room floor was littered with the "corpses" of exhausted partygoers.
This time, Sui was careful not to drink too much. He was about to pick up Erina, who had fallen asleep with sticky notes all over her face, when he heard someone call out behind him.
"Sui," the voice said.
Startled, Sui turned around to find Alice standing there, surprisingly sober.
Her cheeks were flushed, likely from the alcohol she had consumed earlier, but she wasn't drunk.
"I've made up my mind. I want you to be my boyfriend!" Alice declared, her voice steady despite the blush on her cheeks.
"Alice, are you drunk?" Sui asked.
"No!" Alice retorted indignantly, but then she hiccuped, the scent of alcohol wafting in the air.
Sui: "…"
"You did something so outrageous to me, and now you're trying to deny it? Didn't you say you'd take responsibility?" Alice continued, her small fists pounding weakly against Sui's chest. She pouted, her breath heavy with the smell of sake.
"You're such a jerk! Are you really going to deny it? That's so despicable!"
Sui was momentarily at a loss for words, but recalling his previous promise, he nodded. "Of course, I'll take responsibility. But what about Erina?"
"Just don't tell Erina," Alice suggested, her eyes twinkling mischievously.
"What? You're not going to tell Erina?" Sui asked, genuinely surprised.
