"Come, Yui, this is delicious." Kaede, uncharacteristically, didn't stuff her face, but instead started introducing these foods to Yui.
"Okay, Mama." Yui looked at the feast before her and couldn't help but swallow, her appetite beginning to rise.
"Mm-mm, this dish should be eaten like this, put a lot in at once, that way you can taste that kind of continuous, intense sensation." As Kaede said this, she still couldn't help but take a bite, and immediately a happy expression appeared on her face.
"Oh-oh." Yui also widened her eyes, watching her mother's happy expression, and couldn't help but take a bite, immediately revealing the same expression.
Watching the mother and daughter eating like two hamsters before her, Asuna couldn't help but laugh in surprise. They were even discussing how to eat it; she considered herself a foodie, so how did she not know this? Truly, it was laughable.
By the end of the meal, Yui had been directly indoctrinated by Kaede into becoming a little foodie. By the time Asuna realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
"Don't teach Yui bad habits!" Asuna glared at Kaede and said.
"I didn't~" Kaede looked at Yui, who was sitting there rubbing her full stomach, "Yui, you say it's delicious, right?"
"Mm!" Yui nodded happily, "Mama is right, Papa's cooking is the most delicious!"
"Geez~ seriously!" Asuna couldn't help but shake her head, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth. Since Yui said so, what else could she say? Even if they ate a lot, she was happy to cook for them.
Suddenly, at this moment, a message flashed before Kaede's eyes, signed by, Heathcliff?
Why was he sending her a message? Kaede couldn't help but feel a bit confused in her heart, then she clicked it open to look, and immediately her eyes lit up.
"Kaede, what's wrong?" Asuna looked at Kaede, who seemed to have been rejuvenated, and couldn't help but ask.
"Food!" Kaede shouted.
"Huh?" Asuna blinked her eyes, "Food?"
"Mm-mm!" Kaede nodded, "SS-rank ingredients!"
"What!" Asuna also widened her eyes. Although not as terrifying as Kaede, she was also a foodie, okay? She was immediately pleasantly surprised, "Where?"
"Follow me." After saying this, Kaede picked up Yui, "Yui, Mama is taking you to get ingredients to make something delicious!"
"Oh! Delicious food!" Yui, who had already been "trained" by Kaede, had turned into a foodie, her eyes starting to glow, hmm, just like a wolf staring at a sheep, shining with a green light.
...
"Uncle!! I want to borrow a fishing rod!" Only to see Kaede run to the lakeside like a gust of wind, saying this to the Uncle who was still fishing there.
The Uncle was startled by Kaede's speed, and only reacted after hearing Kaede's words.
"Huh? Why do you suddenly want to go fishing?" Saying this, the Uncle saw the little girl in Kaede's arms and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
"This is Yui, my daughter." Kaede answered directly.
"Oh, the child is already this big!" The Uncle nodded, then widened his eyes after realizing it, looking at Kaede with an expression of 'are you kidding me', "How old are you, how could you possibly have a child?"
"Yui is Mama's daughter!!" Yui glared at the Uncle, a bit dissatisfied that he dared to doubt she wasn't her mother's child!
"Sigh, alright, alright. Then who is your Papa?" The Uncle asked, clearly having no resistance to small children. Shouldn't this be sent to the incest clinic?
"You two, slow down!" At this moment, Asuna also caught up.
"Papa!" Yui said, looking at Asuna.
"Sigh, is Yui okay?" Asuna asked.
"Mm."
The Uncle opened his mouth wide, his forehead twitching. Not to mention that they were old enough to have a daughter, but how could two girls have a child!
"Uncle, hello." Asuna said to the Uncle.
"Mm." The Uncle was still in a daze.
"Mm." Kaede frowned, thought for a moment, and pointed at the Uncle, saying to Yui, "Call this one Old Man!"
"Old Man!" Yui called out very obediently.
"Pfft!" Suddenly, the Uncle felt as if his heart had been stabbed several times. At his age, being called "Uncle" was normal, but "Grandpa"—he couldn't accept that!!
"Don't even think about borrowing the fishing rod!" The Uncle glared at Kaede; the one in front of him was the culprit!
"Uh, but I call you Uncle, shouldn't my daughter call you Grandpa?" Kaede blinked her eyes and said. In the past, she might not have understood why the Uncle was angry, but now she had grown somewhat.
"That does make sense." Asuna smiled from the side. Actually, she felt that calling him Grandpa was a bit much, but it didn't seem to be a problem either.
"Uh..." The Uncle didn't know how to refute it; it seemed reasonable.
No! Impossible, his own children were only a few years old, how could he be of the grandfather generation!
Therefore, borrowing the fishing rod was impossible!
"Uncle~"
"Grandpa~"
The former title was fine, but the latter title—the Uncle wanted to cry, but could he yell at a little girl?
Could he yell at two little girls looking at him with eager eyes?
In the end, the Uncle, silently shedding tears, still lent out the fishing rod. Could he refuse?
The answer was no; Kaede, Yui, and Asuna happily went to fish.
"Is the ingredient you mentioned in the pond?" Asuna asked.
"Mm!" Kaede nodded and said, "It's the owner of this pond, a huge fish!"
"You want to catch the owner of this pond? Impossible, I've been fishing for so long and haven't caught it." The Uncle finally finished being sad at this moment.
As soon as the older man finished speaking, the fishing rod in Kaede's hand suddenly began to vibrate violently.
"Sister!" Kaede was also startled by the massive force and hurriedly called out.
"Alright!" Asuna's eyes lit up as she stepped forward.
Then, a giant fish over ten meters long flew through the air and landed on the ground.
At this moment, the older man watching from behind had his mouth wide open. This... she actually caught it? How was that possible? His skills must have been allocated completely wrong!
"Food!" Kaede's eyes sparkled as she drew her blade and rushed forward.
Ingredients are just ingredients after all, even if they are this big. Kaede finished it off with a few slashes, and then she saw a new ingredient added to her inventory. SS-rank!!
"Mmm~" At this moment, Kaede couldn't help but drool, her eyes glowing with a green light.
Seeing Kaede's expression, Asuna knew they had succeeded. Her eyes also began to glow, and her taste buds started working overtime.
After Kaede returned the fishing rod to the man, she picked up Yui and ran. This time, Asuna refused to be left behind and rushed back at high speed; she was also getting impatient!
"Uh!" What on earth are they doing? The man looked at their retreating backs in confusion, then looked at his fishing rod.
"Forget it, back to my fishing."
If the man knew he had missed out on an SS-rank ingredient, would he cough up blood from regret?
Well, probably! Let's observe a minute of silence for the uncle.
But precisely because he doesn't know, he won't be sad~
When Asuna's family returned home, they didn't care that they had already eaten. Kaede took out the ingredient and handed it to Asuna.
Asuna swallowed hard as she looked at the ingredient before her, then grabbed it and dashed into the kitchen.
"Oh! Yummy food!" Yui shouted from the side.
"Mm-hmm, yummy food!" Kaede also shouted beside her.
However, at this moment, Kaede didn't think at all about why Heathcliff told her there was an SS-rank ingredient here, and her catching it in one go definitely had something to do with him.
But right now, it seemed impossible for Kaede to think about such things because she was staring longingly at the kitchen. It looked like she wouldn't think about anything else until she had a bite.
Yui was the same, her eyes fixed longingly on the kitchen.
Ahem, she's been completely led astray.
