"What are you all standing there for? Come on, drink up! This soup is a super nourishing soup that I made by using chicken soup as a base and adding a total of fifteen kinds of medicinal herbs. It is extremely nutritious and is my masterpiece!"
Shinobu Kocho spoke confidently, but everyone was still deeply affected by the collective illusion of the purple light. If Shinobu hadn't reached out and patted the stunned group in confusion, this effect might have lasted much longer.
As Chika recovered from the purple illusion, she reached out and gently covered her forehead, thinking that ever since Muzan was defeated, the world had become increasingly strange, and she was experiencing this collective illusion twice in one day.
Shinobu Kocho, seeing the crowd had calmed down, smiled and waved her hand at her prized creation, saying, "Why are you all looking at this? Drink up, it's very nourishing!"
Everyone stared at the highly nourishing food she had prepared and fell silent.
Just as Rengoku Kyojuro was about to roll up his sleeves to taste this highly nourishing food for everyone, the lord, who was also present, took the first step forward.
"Then let me try it first."
Having grown accustomed to highly nutritious foods, the lord challenged Shinobu Kocho's highly nutritious food. All eyes were fixed on the lord, filled with anticipation mixed with worry.
Looking at the still-smoldering purple medicine, if you asked him if he was really not afraid, his answer would definitely be no. However, he knew the principle that "good medicine tastes bitter." While he made up his mind, another principle emerged in his mind: "poor appearance does not mean poor taste," to hypnotize himself.
As the lord picked up a ladle and ladled a bowl of chicken soup, he savored it carefully. After a two-second pause, the lord suddenly plummeted downwards at a 90-degree angle.
"My lord!!!"
Fortunately, Chika was standing right next to the lord. Before his frail little body fell to the ground, Chika hugged the lord. At that moment, the lord's face was filled with the word "peace".
At the same time, Shinobu Kocho also held up a finger and explained, "This is a normal reaction. Everyone, don't panic. Our lord's body is relatively weak, so this reaction will be a little stronger than that of ordinary people. If you carefully sense it, you can see that our lord is just asleep and his breathing is very steady."
Shinobu Kocho is skilled in both medicine and poison, and although this soup looks rather questionable, it is indeed nutritious.
However, after witnessing their lord die after just one sip, the crowd developed a genuine fear of the shinobi's soup.
"What? Aren't you going to drink?"
Shinobu Kocho felt a little disappointed seeing everyone's hesitant expressions. When Chika saw this, she quickly waved her hand and hurriedly explained that it wasn't that she didn't want to drink, but that she would drink when the party was almost over. After all, one person had already "died" before the party even started.
Hearing Chika's hasty explanation, Shinobu pouted. She could easily understand what Chika meant, and she admitted that the presentation was indeed a little bit lacking.
As Shinobu Kocho replied with "Okay...", in a corner unnoticed by everyone, Giyu Tomioka looked down at the thick soup, silently scooped up a bowl, and drank it down.
The crowd, realizing what was happening, suddenly turned around and stared wide-eyed at Yoshiyuki Tomioka. Yoshiyuki Tomioka moved his lips, and under the tense gazes of the crowd, he let out a burp and commented.
"It's a little salty."
“………………………”
After a series of amusing little farces, the group officially began their nighttime party. Although the table was laden with food, the main attraction was undoubtedly the cuisine prepared by Chinatsu from Tanjiro and Kanao's group.
"This was made by Chinatsu? It's so delicious!" Mitsuri's eyes sparkled. Chinatsu's cooking ranked second only to Sakura Mochi in her mind.
"Mmm! It's really delicious!"
"It's just the right amount of salt, not too bland, and it tastes good."
"As expected of Chinatsu, her culinary skills are so exquisite!"
"With your cooking skills, why don't you open a restaurant in the future? I'm sure it would be very popular!"
Everyone gave Chinatsu's cooking extremely high praise, especially Shinobu Kocho's comment that opening a restaurant would be very popular, which made everyone nod in agreement.
"Yeah! Yeah! Chika, why don't you open a restaurant? I'll definitely be a regular customer!" Miri excitedly walked up to Chika and grabbed her wrists with both hands.
However, in the face of everyone's expectations and praise, Qianxia just smiled and shook her head.
“I have no plans to open a restaurant, nor have I ever thought about doing any business.”
Chinatsu's answer surprised everyone, but instead of asking her "why?", they asked her what she planned to do in the future.
Although everyone gathered here for a party that night and enjoyed themselves, all good things must come to an end. If Qianxia hadn't been in a coma for a year, they would have already parted ways amidst laughter and joy.
And the same thing happened after that night.
As for what Chinatsu wants to do in the future, she had already decided back when the Mugen Train arc was going through. She even said it out loud at the time, but Tanjiro and Kyojuro next to her were all put to sleep by Enmu, the Lower Moon One.
I want to travel!
"travel?!"
"Yes, and it's world travel!"
The current timeline is the Taisho era, before the Showa era. In that era, let alone traveling the world, most normal people would spend their entire lives in the mountain or small town where they were born.
If Qianxia hadn't transmigrated, the original owner of this body would have been the same: married into a good family and lived a peaceful life at home as an excellent housewife, praised by outsiders.
But Chika wasn't the original owner of this body. She wanted to see more of the world with her own eyes. After all, she probably lacked nothing now, except time...
As Chinatsu uttered these words, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle. However, the people were only momentarily stunned, not that they did not support her. After they realized what was happening, they actually thought Chinatsu's idea was excellent.
"Hahaha, Chika, I'm truly impressed. You really are the strongest when it comes to being flamboyant!" Uzui Tengen laughed heartily, then reached out and picked up the wine bottle on the wooden table, pouring a full glass of wine for everyone present with a rather flamboyant pouring gesture.
Everyone looked at each other, then burst into laughter. They picked up their glasses, ready to clink them together and shout, "Cheers!"
But at that moment, instead of picking up her wine glass, Chika revealed a pair of languid, uninteresting eyes.
"Um, it's illegal for someone under 20 to drink alcohol..."
Chinatsu is surprisingly straightforward in some ways.
