Collector of Anime: The Demon-Subduing Chef

Chapter 24

Because she is often responsible for the meals of the other four sisters,

Nino's cooking talent and level are quite extraordinary.

She can't compare with Kuchiki Tsukasa's cooking skills, but she is already beyond ordinary people.

She asked Kuchiki Tsukasa to sit in the living room, and then she went into the kitchen to cook.

Her skilled knife skills and control of the heat made her look like a chef.

Just looking at her slender back makes people feel happy.

Not long after, the table was filled with a sumptuous dinner.

"Kuchiki-kun, can I stay here for another night?"

Noticing the darkening sky, Nino suddenly remembered that the world was different.

The hidden crisis was enough to put ordinary people in an irretrievable situation.

"Do I need to tell Miku and the others?"

"No... no need... I told them I'd stay in a hotel for one night."

"If I speak frankly, it might affect your relationship."

Nino's eyes flickered. How could she tell Miku about staying overnight? Wouldn't that be actively announcing her evil ambitions to the world?

"So, then let's not talk about it."

Kuchiki Tsukasa followed Nino's instructions and did not pursue the matter any further.

The two of them sat in the living room, eating quietly like a familiar couple.

"Kuchiki-kun, I encountered zombies in an alley a few days ago."

Seeing the atmosphere at the table freeze, Nino took the initiative to bring up the topic.

In fact, this is also one of the doubts that weigh deeply on her heart.

Curse masters, Yin Yang masters, magicians... cursed spirits, demons, and zombies that look like those in doomsday movies...

Such a chaotic world makes Nino feel uneasy and hesitant.

But she can't explain it to the other four sisters. Even if she explains it to the other four, it will only spread fear.

The only exception is Kuchiki Tsukasa.

The power he possesses is enough to destroy most disasters.

"Hmm? When did you encounter the zombies?"

"It was the day I encountered the cursed spirit, in a remote alley"

"Then you are really lucky. That zombie is probably controlled by a zombie demon, and the one you encountered is probably out looking for food."

Kuchiki Tsukasa's words made Nino's back cold

"Kuchiki-kun, have you ever encountered this kind of zombie before?"

Nino asked curiously.

"I have encountered some, they are not very weak and pose no threat"

"The only problem is the zombie demon hiding behind the scenes. If we don't kill it, even if all the other zombies die, it will be meaningless."

Kuchiki Tsukasa shook his head. That zombie demon is quite good at hiding.

"Is that zombie demon strong? Is there a special grade sorcerer that is strong?"

Nino's question made Kuchiki Tsukasa laugh.

"There are only four top-level sorcerers in the entire sorcery world. If zombies and demons can commit fraud, then the sorcery world will be doomed."

"Most of the zombies transformed by zombie demons are ordinary people. Even the most powerful zombies are transformed by civilian demon hunters. The gap is too big."

Nino nodded as if she understood, and then asked excitedly:"Is Kuchiki-kun a special-class sorcerer?"

"No!"

This straightforward and decisive answer was something Nino had not expected.

"But the two sorcerers said Kuchiki-kun was a special grade.

Nino looked puzzled. She didn't think those two would lie to her.

"There is a gap between special and special grades"

"My strength can crush a first-class sorcerer, but facing the four recognized special-grade sorcerers in the sorcery world, I am not sure at the moment."

The curse power of one finger of Ryoumen Sukuna was rated as special.

The curse power of twenty fingers of Ryoumen Sukuna was still rated as special.

The current Kuchiki Tsukasa only has two fingers, which is still too weak.

"I see."

Nino nodded, not quite understanding.

She had no idea how big the gap was between special grade and special grade.

But, for her, Kuchiki Tsukasa was someone she needed to look up to.

"No matter what, I believe that Kuchiki-kun will definitely surpass them!"

"This is fried pork chop, Kuchiki-kun, how does it taste?"

Nino looked at the changes in Kuchiki's expression nervously, as if she was afraid that it would not suit Kuchiki's taste.

"It tastes pretty good."

Nino smiled when she heard the compliment.

She was about to invite Kuchiki Tsukasa to taste other dishes.

Suddenly she noticed a faint stain on the corner of Kuchiki Tsukasa's mouth.

It was not from the fried pork cutlet or something like that.

"Miku's lipstick?"

Nino frowned in a good mood.

Her hands under the table clenched into fists. Even though she knew that Miku was Kuchiki Tsukasa's girlfriend, she knew that she had no right to interfere in their relationship.

But at this moment, Nino felt that this mark was particularly glaring.

It was like a huge stone pressing on her heart.

""Kuchiki-kun, slow down, there's oil stains on the corners of your mouth!"

Nino suddenly stood up and wiped the corners of Kuchiki's mouth carefully with a tissue.

With a little force with both hands, she finally wiped off the glaring marks.

Seeing this, Nino smiled sincerely again.

She looked away from the corners of her mouth and looked into Kuchiki's eyes.

Time seemed to stop for a moment.

After a moment,

Nino was like a frightened little rabbit, and the whole person almost jumped up.

"Sorry... I just saw the oil stains... so I couldn't help it.……"

It was as if she had just realized how bold her behavior was. She was at a loss to tell Kuchiki Tsukasa that she had no other intentions.

A faint blush appeared on her snow-white neck, and her crystal clear earlobes were so bright and tempting that people could not help but want to take a bite.

In the end, she herself did not know how to explain it clearly, and could only bury her head silently, making a series of sad cries in her heart.

"Kuchiki-kun, you don't think I'm a casual girl, do you?……"

"Why... I couldn't help it just now……"

Nino, who wanted to cry but had no tears, could only try to avoid Kuchiki Tsukasa's sight.

This state of confusion continued until Kuchiki Tsukasa took a bath.

"That is... Sanjiu's amulet……"

Kuchiki Tsukasa hung the amulet he carried with him outside the bathroom.

Nino took cautious steps and held up the amulet.

She knew... this was bought by Miku for Kuchiki Tsukasa.

The scene of the two of them shopping that day emerged involuntarily in her mind.

With a feeling of loss, Nino returned to the next room.

Could it be... that there is really no possibility between her and Kuchiki-kun? It was Miku who knew Kuchiki-kun first, it was Miku who established the relationship first, it was Miku who had intimate contact with him first, and it was Miku who accompanied him shopping first.

Miku is ahead by so much, even if it is a fair competition, there is no hope. What if it is unfair?

It is far from enough to erase Miku's traces.

But what if it is branded with your own traces?

Once the dangerous thoughts arise, they can no longer be suppressed.

Like overgrown weeds, they gradually occupied Nino's entire mind.

Although Miku is ahead in all aspects, she only needs to be one step ahead.

Thinking of this, Nino's breathing became rapid, and her hands could not help but tremble slightly.

She knew that her behavior was wrong, but she was really unwilling to accept it.

"Just this once, sorry, Sanjiu……"

Nino pursed her lips tightly, restraining the nervousness in her heart.

Then she tiptoed and opened the door and left her room.

Kuchiki Tsukasa was chatting with Miku, and the light in the bedroom suddenly dimmed.
