Multiplication Liquid

With nowhere else to go, Ian settled in with Machi and the others.

He wanted to see whether he could receive another blessing from the Doraemon God the next day!

At last, perseverance paid off!

While Uvogin and Nobunaga stayed there to recover from their injuries,

Ian slept alongside the eight wild dogs.

With them standing guard, Machi felt much safer and could get a good night's sleep.

By noon the next day,

Ian finally... received another blessing from the Doraemon God!

This time, it was a bottle of strange, shimmering liquid!

At first, Ian didn't know what it was, but after turning it over in his mind, he finally identified the item!

[Multiplication Liquid]!

A magical liquid that, when dripped onto an object, made it multiply continuously through exponential division!

One drop on a dorayaki would make it produce another every minute!

Of course,

the item was also extremely dangerous!

A moment's carelessness, followed by leaving it unchecked, and the endlessly dividing objects could eventually fill an entire planet!

It was terrifying!

"If we can find some good food, I don't think we'll have to go hungry anymore!"

After obtaining the item,

Ian hesitated again and again, but ultimately told Machi, Uvogin, and the others about it.

He briefly explained what the liquid in the bottle could do, but how could any of them believe it?

Ian, however, naturally had complete faith in it.

The main problem was that they lacked an original item to multiply!

That was when the eight wild dogs came in handy!

As long as they could steal a chicken, they could theoretically have an endless supply of chicken legs!

As for people who raised chickens, there were naturally some in Meteor City...

Angsa, the man who had sent people to beat up Uvogin, lived nearby and kept chickens at home!

What were they waiting for?

Ian had nothing to fear. He sent the eight wild dogs straight to Angsa's house, and they stole a chicken and brought it back.

His ability to command the eight wild dogs as if they were his own arms left Uvogin and Nobunaga staring in amazement!

Afterward,

Machi took charge of slaughtering it, heating water, and boiling it!

Before long, a whole chicken was cooked.

Without much hesitation,

even though it smelled a little gamey, how could they resist when they hadn't had anything rich to eat in so long?

But before that, Ian tore off a chicken leg.

Then he put a drop of [Multiplication Liquid] on it.

This time, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others were close enough to see everything clearly!

Their eyes widened, and they couldn't quite understand what Ian was doing.

"Don't be surprised. Something even more shocking is about to happen, so... learn to accept it all..."

Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others swallowed.

They seemed to have a feeling they were about to witness something extraordinary!

The next second.

One chicken leg appeared every minute. Then, the next minute, they became two, and another minute later, four!

Once there were eight chicken legs, Ian hurriedly stopped channeling Nen. He didn't dare let them keep multiplying, or they really might fill the entire world!

Uvogin and the others could no longer hold back and each swallowed a chicken leg in one bite!

Something called "happiness," which they had never felt in Meteor City, welled up in the two men's hearts.

Tears even streamed from Uvogin's and Nobunaga's eyes, yet their mouths never stopped moving.

"This is so delicious!"

"Damn it, hell, there's actually something this delicious in the world? Is this what meat tastes like?!"

"What if we can't get any more later..."

Machi watched the two of them from the side. She had wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

She didn't hesitate either, joining them for the meal.

Just looking

Only then did Machi understand why Uvogin and Nobunaga had shed tears over the food.

The meat before her

filled her taste buds, bringing her an unprecedented sensation of pure delight—the "happiness" she had never felt in Meteor City.

At that moment,

none of them had time to talk. They devoted themselves wholeheartedly to eating.

Seeing the chicken legs keep coming,

Was this...

a blessing from a god...?

The three of them turned and stared blankly at the smiling Ian.

At that moment, it seemed a halo ought to be shining above Ian's head.

Their gazes made Ian's scalp prickle, and he spoke awkwardly.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your taste? Go ahead and eat..."

"You can have as much of this as you want from now on!"
