Chapter 492 Something's Missing
Just as Shinobu and Ikuko had thought, despite having eaten a lot of snacks at the temple fair, everyone's appetite did not decrease at all.
Everyone was present for the late-night ramen, even the girls couldn't wait for the meal to start.
One pink-haired glutton was already sitting on the table with a bowl in his arms.
The exaggerated performance made everyone's eyes twitch.
I know you can eat a lot, but can't you restrain yourself a little?
Butterfly's family doesn't have a canteen, so they eat in the main hall.
It's just a bowl of noodles anyway, and we're all brothers and sisters who have been through life and death battles, so there's absolutely no thought of being picky about the food. We can eat it anywhere, even just squatting down.
While Kanae and Aoi Kanzaki were cooking noodles, the group chatted about their recent lives in the lobby.
Hmm? As for why the noodle chef was changed.
Of course, it was out of fear that Shinobu would continue to get angry, so he quickly did some housework to show his support.
This is the strict hierarchy in the Butterfly family; those who don't work don't get to eat.
just kidding.
……
"Me? I want to open a restaurant with Mr. Iguro." Mentioning her future plans, Mitsuri Kanroji cupped her cheeks, her face full of anticipation. "Then we'll have endless sakura mochi~ Hehe~"
Compared to Kanroji Mitsuri's openness, Iguro Obanai said that he was still a little reserved and felt embarrassed whenever Kanroji mentioned him in front of his companions.
Maybe it's because...we're too familiar with each other?
However, the others didn't have any intention of making fun of them; most of them just looked on with satisfaction.
After all, things have come to this point. Even an idiot would have noticed something was off about these two, except for Inosuke, who's practically brainless.
With a woman on each side, Uzui Tengen leaned against the wall, looking quite impressed: "Not bad, a restaurant. We should try it sometime; it must be very luxurious."
Squeak squeak~
……
A wisp of blue vein quietly crept up Yuzui Tianyuan's forehead.
Squeak squeak~
……
"Hey you little blond brat over there, how long are you going to keep staring at me! It's so annoying!" Uzui Tengen got goosebumps all over his body, pointing angrily at Agatsuma Zenitsu, who was biting his clothes and making squeaking noises as he stared at him with resentment.
In other words, Uzui Tengen knew what this kid was thinking, otherwise he would have thought that this guy had some bad intentions towards him, and why he was always muttering to himself.
If you get close, you can hear Zenitsu's recurring, melancholic lines.
'Why? Why does this guy have three wives?'
Tanjiro awkwardly led his younger siblings away, worried they might be led astray... no, after so much contact, they'd probably already been led astray.
That's fine.
Tanjiro pulled his younger siblings back to prevent Zenitsu from noticing and feeling isolated.
Compared to the meeting a month ago before they left the Demon Slayer Corps, this time everyone clearly had more plans for the future.
Just like...
"Huh? So Muichiro has moved back to the mountains now?"
"Yes, I took over the work that my father and brother used to do."
Yu Zi sighed. These damn rich people.
As we all know, once you have money, your job is no longer considered a job; it becomes a hobby.
"You seem to have changed a lot recently; you've become much more talkative than before."
He was more than just talkative; he was practically a completely different person.
Yu Zi looked left and right, listened to the gossip on one side and the ideals and ambitions on the other, and finally... she discovered a serious problem.
"Isn't someone still missing?"
Although she couldn't recall who she had forgotten for the time being, she had a vague feeling that something was missing.
When Yuko brought it up, Tanjiro responded.
"I saw Mr. Yiyong selling ice cream before we met up with everyone. He said he was going to help that aunt finish selling today. He should still be at the temple fair now."
After saying that, Tanjiro turned to look at Kanao, as if seeking confirmation.
Kanao felt the pressure and nodded slightly.
Although it was almost 2 a.m., the temple fair was still going strong, the night market was brightly lit, and many people were still enjoying the summer festival.
Yu Zi suddenly realized and said that something seemed to be missing.
"Huh? Selling ice cream? What's Tomioka up to?" Everyone looked confused and cast questioning glances at Tanjiro.
Tanjiro also felt immense pressure, but not the pressure of being stared at by everyone, but the pressure of not knowing whether he should speak out.
"Yes, it should be fine, right?" He was just telling the truth.
"It seems...it seems that because his luggage was stolen on the train, he was helping out at the ice cream vendor's stall to earn money for his ticket."
"..."
About two or three seconds later, Shinazugawa Sanemi burst into laughter, clutching his stomach and slapping the floor repeatedly.
"Hahaha! What's that guy doing?!"
"As a pillar, I was actually robbed by a thief."
Uzui Tengen also smiled and said, "It's really not flashy at all."
Yu Zi clicked her tongue twice and shook her head. She knew this would be their reaction when they found out.
She hadn't planned to tell anyone if they didn't know.
I didn't expect to find out anyway.
Well, I probably won't have any objections.
Honest people are always easier to bully.
The thoughts of honest people are not important.
Kneading dough is a bit of a hassle, but cooking noodles is quick, not to mention that Yuko also helped prepare all the ingredients.
The task left to Kanae and Aoi Kanzaki was simply to cook the noodles and put them in a bowl along with the other ingredients.
About ten minutes later, the two of them brought out the noodles one after another.
Because there were so many people, the two of them had to make several trips to serve the noodles.
……
"Ha~" Kanroji Mitsuri gulped down the noodle soup in the bowl, put it down, let out a long breath, and then patted her flat stomach with a happy expression. "So satisfying."
Yu Zi glanced at her belly, which showed no signs of movement, and remained silent.
She now seriously suspects that Kanroji Mitsuri has some kind of spatial ability that can make the food in her stomach disappear into thin air. Otherwise, how can you explain her large stomach capacity and the fact that her stomach didn't rise or fall at all after eating a whole bowl of noodles and soup?
She ate almost as much as several of them combined, and that's after she ate quite a lot at the temple fair.
According to Obanai Iguro's veiled revelation, opening the shop was a last resort; if Kanroji continued to eat like this, the money given by the lord would soon be insufficient.
At first, Obanai Iguro didn't care much about the money; he didn't kill demons for money. But after only a month, he realized...
Without this money, it would be absolutely impossible.
Although Kanroji Mitsuri doesn't ask for gold or silver jewelry like some vain girls, the fact that she only provides meals already makes their expenses too high.
