Akira was unaware of Menchi "shattered faith" situation. He thought the other person blank stare was contemplating how to prepare the White Sand Scorpion King.
Even if he knew, he would probably just pat the other person shoulder and offer a few words of comfort.
How could a genius compare to a cheater?
After a series of internal drama, the confusion in Menchi eyes disappeared once again, replaced by determination!
As a gourmet hunter, she shouldn't doubt herself, but should put in more effort to grow! The first step of that effort starts with preparing the White Sand Scorpion King before her!
Akira was unaware of these psychological activities, only the nearby Gardevoir sensed some emotional changes, but didn't pay much attention.
"You rest on the side first, leave the rest to me!" Menchi stood beside Akira, gently rolling up her sleeves, her tone extremely serious.
Akira glanced at Menchi, not knowing why she suddenly seemed to be glowing, her whole being filled with confidence from head to toe. Akira just assumed it was because Menchi was too excited about finally obtaining a rare ingredient.
When it came to eating, Akira could say he knew a thing or two, but when it came to preparation, he was completely clueless. So Akira obediently sat down on the nearby sand dune, ready to appreciate Menchi preparation process.
Menchi stood in front of the massive White Sand Scorpion King, her hands spread out in the air. Instantly, a transparent platform made of Nen extended from the ground, lifting the White Sand Scorpion King to a suitable height.
Then a pair of appropriately sized silver-white daggers appeared in Menchi hands. She was going to dismember the White Sand Scorpion King first!
Most of the White Sand Scorpion King body was covered in rather hard shell, so Menchi needed to start with the gaps between the shells using the daggers.
In an instant, Menchi looked like an elegant music conductor on stage in Akira's eyes, the pair of daggers like batons constantly dancing.
In no time at all. The originally huge White Sand Scorpion King was dismembered into multiple parts, categorized and arranged on the platform one by one. This was categorized according to cooking methods.
For example, the abdomen of the White Sand Scorpion King was the tenderest part of its body, and also the most delicious, suitable for making soup.
The part connecting the back to the tail easily produced a fishy smell, but had a crispy texture, suitable for braising and similar cooking methods.
The two huge pincers had firm meat, full of umami flavor, most suitable for steaming to preserve the original taste. ...
While preparing, Menchi still explained her steps and purposes to Akira. Because she knew Akira had intentions of becoming a gourmet hunter, so explaining a bit to him would be helpful.
When the categorization work was completed and it came to the cooking stage, Akira deeply realized how convenient Menchi Nen ability was. Previously he only understood that she could materialize some kitchen utensils, but hadn't imagined there were so many variations.
Looking at the whole row of kitchen utensils made of Nen in front of him, Akira mouth twitched slightly. In the middle was the platform for placing the White Sand Scorpion King parts, on the left was a steamer for steaming.
On the right was an iron pot for braising, with a stove constantly spewing flames underneath.
Seeing this, Akira finally understood how rare Spatial-type Nen abilities were.
Otherwise, for the Nen ability "Menchi's Kitchen" there should definitely be a refrigerator function right? Most likely it was because the storage function of a refrigerator would involve the use of space, so it couldn't be created.
The steamer and other tools Menchi materialized now were just vessels for making gourmet food. If the contents within the aura are removed, they will only fall out, rather than being preserved inside.
Undeniably, there are still many highlights inside, such as the flame function of the stove, which clearly does not belong to the realm of conjuration.
This is Menchi development involving the Transmutation system! The Transmutation system is adjacent to the conjuration system.
As a user of the Conjuration system, Menchi can exert 80% of the power of the Transmutation system. Considering Menchi strength, which is extremely close to A-rank, even if she can only use 80% of the power, the intensity of this flame far surpassed the "small flame" of Bodyguard No. 2 from before.
Finally, under Menchi confident "full effort", three dishes and a soup with a huge amount of food were freshly prepared! Looking at the steaming dishes on the table, a rich aroma wafted over, and Akira even vaguely saw a golden light on them!
Would they burst out of their clothes from eating something so delicious?
Soon, several people gathered around the round table, with Menchi, Akira, Gardevoir, and Gengar seated in a circle. After some discussion, the two decided to share the food with Gardevoir and Gengar as well.
Menchi didn't bother questioning why Nen beasts could eat food. Now she felt that no matter what she discovered about Akira, nothing would surprise her anymore.
The original plan was to capture a White Sand Scorpion, which would be enough for two people to eat, but now with a White Sand Scorpion King twice the size, the two naturally couldn't finish it all.
Adding the contributions of the two Nen beasts and the principle of not wasting food, the two humans and two Nen beasts began this long-awaited feast!
