Chapter 143: Defeat Auntie's Little Brothers First

143.

The cursed food made by the chef profession unexpectedly...

Very normal?

When you are making food, you find that many new recipes using cursed spirits as ingredients have been added to the production page - there are even difficult recipes.

It's just that the difficult recipe requires the use of special-grade curse spirits, and the highest-grade ingredient you have now is a first-grade curse spirit rated as all A.

You turned off your perception filter, picked up the plate and looked at it from left to right, but you couldn't tell that this black pepper cursed pork steak was any different in appearance from an ordinary black pepper pork steak.

Just in case the comparison experiment is not rigorous enough, you added the same ingredients into the pot with the synthesis function in the kitchen and made a food with the same rating - haha, it looks even worse than the original ingredients.

It’s hard to imagine how much willpower Kagami Kazue must have to eat the food prepared by the store... and even become your regular customer.

He really makes you cry.

The food made by Chef Professional looks normal from the outside, but when you open the system panel, you can see that it has abnormal properties.

[Juicy Curse Spirit Steak (hq): Curse series food, overall rating is B. After eating, it will randomly release a negative emotion (anger, sadness, bereavement, bitterness, worry, fear, depression). After ordinary people eat it, they can increase a small amount of curse power; after the sorcerer eats it, it can replenish 5% of the curse power and randomly increase the upper limit of the curse power by 0-3%. ]

This thing doesn't seem to have any effect on you... So is it a dungeon-only food? You were confused as you took out two servings of cursed spirit food. What is a sorcerer? Is he a customer of the food stall that hasn't been unlocked yet?

Really, couldn't Geto Suguru work hard on his own and upgrade from a little brother with a slightly weird taste to a sorcerer whose status sounds very unusual?

"Manager, it turns out you can cook normal food..."

Xia Yujie looked at the steak you placed in front of Jia Ruo Naoko, and then looked at the cursed spirit ball in front of him, which was covered with green candy particles. His eyebrows jumped and he muttered quietly: "Isn't this too different?"

Well... Although he came to this store to purchase goods, after all, this store is the only one that sells cursed spirit balls with a taste that is not that unacceptable.

Whether the Curse Ball tastes good or not depends on the store manager's performance that day.

This random shopping experience gave Xia Yujie the joy of opening a blind box: if he ate a delicious Curse Ball, it was like he had drawn a rare blind box; if he ate a Curse Ball with a strange taste, it was a bad day.

"Where's mine?" Gojo Satoru, whose sunglasses were snatched away, slammed the table in dissatisfaction. He pointed at himself, like a peacock with its tail spread out proudly, blinking his beautiful blue eyes and winking at you, "Auntie, I'm so handsome, why don't I have any food?"

"……Oh."

Hearing your mocking laugh, both Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey, Jay, Nitro, did you guys laugh just now?"

"Hey... How could that be? Wu." Xia Yujie sat up straight and said seriously, "We have received professional training in spells, and we usually don't laugh."

"Right." Holding a lollipop in her mouth, Ieiri Naoko nodded seriously, "Unless that scumbag classmate is too childish and is ignored even when he opens his screen."

Gojo Satoru snatched away Geto's cursed spirit ball unhappily and prepared to lick it with his tongue - just kidding, a loser wouldn't dare to snatch his wet nurse's food.

Xia Yujie, who was a little hesitant at first and didn't dare to eat the strange-colored cursed spirit ball, kept smiling and watched quietly as Gojo Satoru took a small bite of the cursed spirit ball, his face changed drastically, and he covered his mouth and frantically looked for water.

Ah...Kao Yujie breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that today's food is not a rare flavor.

Take it back and feed it to other cursed spirits.

…

You watched the three of them fighting and making noises, and sighed: "Children are full of energy, this is youth..."

Yedou heard this and came over to you, whispering to you: "Manager, you are not that old, are you?"

From what I've observed, they're not even 30 years old... Whether they're gods or humans, they're all just children.

"Auntie is mentally very old." You said seriously, "Xiaodou, you have to know that in our line of work, the worst thing to do is to be loved by a customer."

Ye Dou, who had never been attacked by your nonsense, stood there at a loss, not knowing how to respond.

"That's why Auntie wants to increase the age gap." You said seriously, "After all, Auntie is a food stall owner who has two children. If a boy falls in love with her, it will be bad for Auntie if the news gets out."

“…I can hear you, Boss.”

Xia Yujie was a little helpless. It was good that the boss was more lively than before, but - was he too lively?!

"Oh." You calmly walked to the opposite side of Geto, pulled out a chair and sat down, "I didn't have time to ask you just now, where did you go to high school, Geto? You haven't been to the store for a long time, and I'm worried about you!"

How can you not be worried when your only guest leaves you like this?

"When you were little, Auntie fed you." You said bitterly, "Have you forgotten the good old days with Auntie and rushed to a brighter future alone? Even... when you came here today, you didn't even eat one less Curse Spirit Ball... Sob, sob."

"Too bad." Ieiri Naoko joined your camp, patting your arm armor while looking at Kagome Kai with a scumbag look, and said in reproach, "I didn't expect you to be such an irresponsible man."

"That's right, Jay, how could you hurt a..." Gojo Satoru glanced at you and got stuck on his words, but with the hint from Jiaru Nozomi's eyes, he finished the rest of his words fluently, "How about such an auntie with super cool fashion sense?"

"I say..." With veins popping out of his forehead, Xia Yujie smiled restrainedly, "Have you guys had enough fun?"

You handed Gojo Satoru's sunglasses to Ieiri Naoko, who took the sunglasses and put them on her face, then turned her head to look in another direction: "Ah... Sorry, I can't see clearly, and my hearing is not good."

Knowing that none of his classmates were normal people, Geto Xia Yu took a few deep breaths and sighed deeply. He looked at you, as if he was considering how to start: "I..."

"I went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Jutsu."

"What?" You repeat what Geto Suguru said in a daze, "What Gulu Gulu Academy in Tokyo?"

Xia Yujie showed a surprised expression, and pointed at the cursed spirit ball in front of him: "Boss, do you know what this is?"

"Flying steak." You answered calmly, "Although it looks weird...but you kept shouting "Spell Ball", so I shouted along with you."

It's deceptive, but you don't say it - you just want to see what reaction the NPC will give.

A solemn look flashed across Xia Yujie's face. He got together with Gojo Satoru and Nozomi, and the three of them began to whisper.

"Boss...you don't look like someone from the world of spellcasting."

"You seem to know nothing about the world of magic."

"Wow, a wild sorcerer? Should I tell Nightmoth?"

"I think..." Xia Yujie hesitated, "Respect the boss's wishes... The boss has been running this store diligently for the past three years. She wants to live like an ordinary person, right?"

Even after three years, there are still no other customers in this store.

"I understand." Gojo Satoru patted Kagome Jie's shoulder and said seriously, "I will help Jie."

The next second, Gojo Satoru turned around, with a few tears hanging from his eyes: "Actually..."

"Jie is studying at a religious college, so..." He looked up, letting his eyes slide down his face, and said in a heavy tone, "Jie is going to become a monk."

"I see." You continued Gojo Satoru's words, "Great! I thought Jie went to a technical high school, but it turns out he's going to become a monk."

"Congratulations, Jie." You took out two boiled eggs from your backpack and put them into Jie's hands, saying kindly, "Be a good monk. Auntie will always support you."

Gojo Satoru was laughing so hard that he held his stomach.

After laughing enough, he got up from the ground, patted your shoulder, and gave you a thumbs up: "Auntie, you are so funny, I like you a little bit."

"But——"

Gojo Satoru suddenly approaches you. He still has a playful look on his face, but his deep blue eyes are devoid of emotion. "Do you really not know about the existence of cursed power?"

He put the sunglasses he had snatched back on his face.

"My eyes can see many unusual things."

"The first clerk has no magical power, the second clerk has a strange power, and..." Gojo Satoru looked at you and chuckled again, "the manager is wrapped in a mess of curses."

“Interesting shop, isn’t it?”

The happy atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Frey had already grasped the heavy sword, and Ye Dou stopped cleaning and walked towards Zhu Gao and his group.

“Understanding…”

Xia Yujie grabbed Gojo Satoru's shoulders, trying to get him to calm down a bit, but before he could finish his words, Ieiri Nozomi, who had been eating cursed spirit steak beside him, suddenly jumped up:

"Those *** guys in the upper echelons have *** in their heads. If I wasn't ***, I would have cut off their *** and soaked them in ***!"

Hearing a string of muted words burst out from Jia Ruxiaozi's mouth, the two male classmates opened their eyes wide, stunned.

You glanced at Ieiri Nozomi's character panel and understood: the one you drew was Anger... Wait, this pretty sister is the sorcerer?

If Kagome was a classmate of hers...

You clicked on the character panels of the other two people, and sure enough, they were also sorcerers.

It turns out that sorcerers are a type of people, not just one person... That's great, there's a market for cursed spirit food!

Xia Yujie is very promising. He passed the exam to become a sorcerer. Auntie is very touched.

"Ni...Nizo, are you...are you okay?" Having never seen Ieiri Nizo so angry, Geto approached her cautiously and pushed Gojo Satoru out, "If you're in a bad mood..."

"You can hammer Satoru to ease the mood."

"Ah..." After releasing the accumulated negative emotions, Ieiri Naoko felt relieved but also a little confused, "Nothing..."

“But it’s cool.”

"I didn't expect you to hate being in a technical high school so much, Naoko." Gojo Satoru said with a smile, "You should have said it earlier. Next time, Jie Chao and I will bring you with us."

Ieiri Naoko made an OK gesture.

“But…” Gojo Satoru walked around Ieiri Shoko, a little curious, like a cat that saw a new toy, and was eager to try it. “If you lose your negative emotions, Shoko’s cursed energy should decrease…”

“Now it looks like there are even more.”

I don't quite understand how the sorcerer works, but you know why the beautiful sister's magic power increases.

"Because cursed spirit steak can increase cursed energy." You walked to the dining table, cut a piece of steak, and stuffed it into Gojo Satoru's mouth in a flash. "The side effect is that it will randomly release negative emotions."

They didn't quite understand how the cursed spirits could be made to look like normal food, but when they saw Gojo Satoru suddenly start crying, Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri applauded: "Oh - so amazing..."

Kagome reacted and said, "Wait... so the cursed spirit can be made into other forms?!"

Then what about the cursed spirit ball he ate?

"Too... too much..." Gojo Satoru, who was crying like a "delicate flower", couldn't stop crying at all, "Hey, auntie, find a way to make me stop."

“You don’t understand.” You looked at Gojo Satoru and shook your head. “Crying more will help you get rid of the water in your brain.”

"Hey, Jay, look at her performance, it's obvious that she knows about cursed power, right?" Gojo Satoru turned around and complained to his friend, "Are you going to stand on the side of the unknown aunt instead of choosing me who is more handsome?"

"Sorry." Summer Oil replied expressionlessly, "I choose a boss with super cool clothes."

"Very good." You gave Geto a thumbs up, then looked at Gojo Satoru with a haughty look, "So, I know about the cursed spirits and cursed power sorcerers. What do you want? Call the police and have me arrested?"

Gojo Satoru was silent for a while. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and smiled smugly like a little cat who had done something bad: "No."

"If you want to keep a secret..." He raised his chin, "then fight me."

"You have to know..." You replied calmly, "I am the manager of this store, and all of my subordinates have special skills..."

"So you are strong?" Gojo Satoru looked even more eager, "Come on."

After a pause, he added a line from a comic book that he had seen a few days ago, but his tone was as firm as a ○: "Don't pity this delicate flower of mine!"

"What I mean is..." You took out the sunglasses from your backpack, put them on your helmet, and raised your hand to signal, "If you want to fight with the distinguished food stall owner, the owner of the iron T firefighting suit, and the auntie with ten years of experience in killing fish, you must first step over the weapons of my brothers."

"Frey, go ahead and punch him in the face."
