Previously, as a Reanimated body, it didn't matter whether he ate or not, so he had never prepared these things.
Now that he was resurrected, these daily necessities were indispensable.
Over the next few days, the two would occasionally cook for themselves.
Retsu specifically made several specialty dishes from the Naruto World for Kikyo: the Ichiraku Ramen that Naruto loves, and the Three-Color Dango that Uchiha Itachi likes.
As a transmigrator, he had not only tasted all kinds of food in the Naruto World but also used his Sharingan to record the detailed preparation methods.
Although the taste he produced was slightly different from the original, it wasn't significant, and he ultimately earned Kikyo's praise.
Retsu also had the privilege of eating dishes cooked by Kikyo herself.
Surprisingly, just like her powerful strength as a priestess, Kikyo's culinary skills were also quite excellent.
Ordinary ingredients in her hands could always be made to taste superb.
The only thing Retsu found amusing was that Kikyo's cooking techniques were exactly the same as the way she brewed herbal medicine.
He guessed that as a priestess, Kikyo might have merged her cooking skills into her medicine-brewing skills.

This afternoon, Retsu and Kikyo were having a barbecue on the grass by a small river.
Some of the ingredients were bought from nearby Castle Towns and villages, while others were game caught by Retsu in the mountains.
As for the seasonings used for the barbecue, he had specifically run to Kaede's Village to ask Kagome to bring them from the modern era.
Kagome had even conveniently brought him a portable barbecue grill.
It had to be said that with the addition of modern rich seasonings, the roasted meat was fragrant and exceptionally delicious.
Just as Retsu raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of sizzling roasted meat to put into his mouth, his expression suddenly shifted, and he quickly formed hand seals: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
As a Shadow Clone identical to him appeared beside him, a burst of white smoke suddenly erupted from Retsu's original body.
The smoke cleared, and his figure had already vanished from the spot, leaving only the Shadow Clone to calmly sit down in his original position, pick up the chopsticks, and put the meat he had just set down into its mouth.
"What happened?" Kikyo, sitting opposite, swallowed the food in her mouth and watched the change in front of her with some confusion, asking curiously.
"I was summoned away by a cat demon using the Summoning Technique; I don't know what she wants with me," the Shadow Clone explained calmly while slicing the meat on the grill into even, thin slices.
"A cat demon?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Kikyo's eyes. "And what is the Summoning Technique?"
"Mhm, it's a cat demon named Karan. I'll introduce you when there's a chance."
Seeing her interest, the Shadow Clone explained seriously, "As for the Summoning Technique, simply put, it's after signing a Summoning Contract with a certain creature, you can summon the other party to assist in battle.
I encountered this cat demon named Karan before and conveniently signed a contract with her."
While the Shadow Clone was explaining the Summoning Technique and Summoning Contract to Kikyo, Retsu's original body had already appeared in an unfamiliar valley.
At this moment, three demons—two females and one male—stood before him.
In the lead was a woman with icy blue long hair, wearing a pale purple kimono, her expression cold and carrying a natural air of majesty.
Beside her was a young-looking beauty with brownish-long hair, wearing a pink flower on her head and a yellow-green short kimono that revealed two fair, slender legs.
Standing behind the two was the only male demon; he was tall and burly, wearing a green coat that exposed the solid muscles of his chest and abdomen.
Familiar with the plot, Retsu recognized at a glance that these three were three of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cat Clan: the eldest sister Fuyuarashi, the second daughter Chun Lan, and the only male and youngest of the four, Akiarashi.
As for the last one, the third sister Karan who had summoned him here...
Retsu looked down at his feet and saw a cat demon with a red afro lying on the ground, panting heavily.
Clearly, using the Summoning Technique to summon him just now had once again exhausted this cat demon's Demonic Power.
