"So Tanaka, how was the taste test?"
"It wasn't good, not good at all."
Tanaka Masao perfunctorily answered them, while quickening his movements, keeping the delicious ones for himself and sharing the rest with everyone.
Seeing his actions, everyone immediately understood that Tanaka Masao wanted to eat all the salmon.
As a little foodie, while others were still thinking, Kashi directly stepped forward and took the sashimi and sauce.
This was the power of the Demon Realm's second-in-command.
Tanaka Masao looked at the things being taken away and tried to stop her, saying, "Really, I'm not lying to you, that stuff isn't good, don't eat it. Come on, quickly give it back to me."
Tanaka Masao's behavior was just like a gentle and considerate older brother, but even the biggest brother was no match for Kashi.
"Who would believe you?"
In the inherently suspicious Kashi's eyes, only food was most trustworthy.
She picked up a slice of salmon without any hesitation, dipped it in the special sauce, and put it directly into her mouth.
With a "bang~", Kashi's mouth exploded.
Cough cough, just kidding.
The fresh and delicious fish meat, combined with the tasty sauce, blended in her mouth, becoming more fragrant with each chew, making her reluctant to swallow it.
Kashi narrowed her eyes, looking utterly blissful.
Seeing Kashi in such a state of enjoyment, almost floating to heaven, everyone else unconsciously swallowed their saliva.
This might be the charm of food vlogging.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Kawasaki Saki, being adults, still showed some restraint, but Kawasaki Kyouka, also a child, couldn't resist the temptation and asked, "Kashi, how does it taste? Is it very delicious?"
Kashi opened her eyes, looked at her little fan's expectant and longing gaze, and helplessly shook her head.
"There's no helping you. Open your mouth."
"Ah~"
Hearing this, Kawasaki Kyouka obediently opened her mouth.
Kashi picked up a slice of salmon, dipped it in the seasoning, and placed it into Kawasaki Kyouka's mouth.
"So, so delicious."
Kawasaki Kyouka cupped her cheeks with her hands, as if her cheeks were about to melt from how delicious it was.
As a sensible and polite good child, she thanked him, "Thank you, Masao."
"Huh? Why are you thanking him? Shouldn't you be thanking me?"
"But didn't Masao make this?"
"So what? I got it by my own ability, so it's mine."
"Then thank you, Kashi, too."
"Hmm, that's more like it."
Kashi nodded in satisfaction, wanting to continue eating the delicious food, but then realized the sashimi that was originally by her hand was gone.
She looked up and saw that Tanaka Masao had taken it.
"Hey, Masao, why are you taking my stuff?"
"What do you mean 'your stuff'? I got it by my own ability, so of course it's mine."
He mimicked Kashi's earlier actions, picked up two slices of salmon, dipped them in the sauce, and said to Yukinoshita Yukino and Kawasaki Saki, "Come on, Yukino, Saki, ah~"
First, trick the two of them into opening their mouths with delicious food, then put whatever strange things he wanted inside—that would be up to him, hehehe...
"No need, I can do it myself."
Clearly, Tanaka Masao's little trick couldn't fool Yukinoshita Yukino; she wouldn't obediently open her mouth.
She found a pair of chopsticks and picked up a slice herself.
Kawasaki Saki, who had already opened her mouth halfway, quickly closed it upon hearing this, her face flushed, and she said, "I'll do it myself too."
Seeing the two who wouldn't cooperate by opening their mouths and insisted on doing it themselves, Tanaka Masao helplessly shook his head.
[Do you know that this seemingly insignificant choice just now made you miss out on hundreds of millions? You will regret it.]
"Open your mouth."
Tanaka Masao looked at Kashi, giving her almost no chance to react before forcefully stuffing the salmon into her mouth.
And Kashi very cooperatively opened her mouth, swallowing everything.
Although she was a bit annoyed by Tanaka Masao's sudden attack, seeing as he was giving her delicious food, she magnanimously chose to forgive him.
After tasting it, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes widened, and she looked at Tanaka Masao with some disbelief.
"So, so delicious."
She had eaten at many high-end restaurants, and the quality of the salmon there was much better than what they bought at the supermarket this time, but the taste couldn't compare.
The root of all this was Tanaka Masao's dipping sauce. She was curious if Tanaka Masao had added some mysterious, exclusive recipe to it to make it so delicious.
Yukinoshita Yukino expressed that she wanted to study it, but having only eaten one piece, she hadn't tasted enough to discern anything, so she reached out with her chopsticks, deciding to try another piece.
[I'm doing this to taste what ingredients are in the sauce, to learn from it. It's definitely not because I'm greedy.]
Kawasaki Saki also realized this and asked, "Tanaka, how did you make this dipping sauce? Can you teach me?"
She thought that if she could learn it, she could let her family try it when she cooked for them in the future.
"Of course, but the process of preparing this dipping sauce is quite complex, and it will be very hard to learn, so you need to be prepared."
What? You mean this dipping sauce wasn't just casually mixed by Tanaka Masao with kitchen ingredients? It should be simple, right?
Tanaka Masao stated that since he prepared it, whether it was difficult or not, what ingredients were needed, what posture was required... that was naturally up to him.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of hard work."
Tanaka Masao nodded in satisfaction at Kawasaki Saki's fearless and adventurous character.
When little Kawasaki Kyouka heard that her older sister was going to learn how to make the sauce with Tanaka Masao, she imagined being able to eat such delicious food anytime in the future. She excitedly said to Kawasaki Saki, "Sister, you can do it, you definitely can."
Hearing Kawasaki Kyouka's encouragement, Kawasaki Saki lovingly patted her head, her determination to learn becoming even stronger, and she said, "No matter what, I will learn it."
At some point in the future, when Kawasaki Saki might struggle under Tanaka Masao's strict guidance, she would surely be encouraged and continue to work hard, just by thinking that it was all for her sister, right?
The amount of salmon was not too much to begin with, and with five people eating it together, it was finished in no time.
Having only eaten this much, Kashi clearly hadn't had enough. She looked at the remaining tender white large intestine sashimi on the plate and asked curiously, "What is this? Can it be eaten too?"
Kashi clearly didn't recognize it as large intestine, only thinking it was something similar to what she had just eaten.
Seeing that Kashi didn't recognize large intestine, Tanaka Masao's mouth curved into an evil smile.
"Of course it can be eaten."
Saying that, he picked up a slice of large intestine sashimi himself and ate it.
"It's very delicious."
First, trick the ignorant Kashi into eating it, then, once she's full, tell her what it is. That would surely be interesting.
As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Seeing that Tanaka Masao had eaten it, and although she didn't know what it was, Kashi didn't hesitate and directly picked up a slice.
"Then I'll try it too."
Seeing Kashi about to eat the large intestine, Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to stop her and tell her, but seeing her expectant look, she paused.
[Although it's something a bit strange, it's not inedible, and Tanaka-kin ate it, so there shouldn't be any problem.]
She swore she was just respecting Kashi's choice and absolutely had no intention of letting her test for poison.
[If possible, I should keep it a secret from her forever, so she never knows what she ate.]
