In his past life, Reiz had studied the culinary arts to some extent, and whenever he had free time, he would go out with friends for picnics and barbecues.
Reiz considered his grilling skills to be absolutely top-tier.
He decided to take this opportunity to properly treat this cute and beautiful Angel-in-training.
"We Saiyans have huge appetites. It's been over eight hours now; are you really not hungry at all?" Reiz asked with a smile.
"Ah? I... I had a little snack while you were training earlier." Linoshi realized she had said the wrong thing and answered in a flustered hurry, her fingers beginning to twist her battle suit again.
"A little snack isn't enough! I'll make you some grilled meat!" Reiz chuckled, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Grilled meat?" Linoshi paused slightly, her blue eyes blinking in confusion.
"Just wait here!" After saying this, Reiz immediately took to the air.
"Whoosh--"
His figure turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the deepening night.
Linoshi stood where she was, gazing in the direction he had vanished, remaining motionless for a long time.
The evening breeze lifted her hair, brushing it gently against her cheeks.
About ten minutes later.
A streak of light cut across the horizon, approaching rapidly.
Reiz returned, carrying a small animal that resembled a goat in his hand.
The animal's limbs hung limp; it was clearly dead.
It was twice the size of a regular goat, enough for the two of them to have a hearty meal.
"Thud!"
Reiz landed on the ground and tossed the prey onto a flat rock.
"Snap!"
Reiz lifted his right hand slightly, condensing a bright flame in his palm, and quickly covered the goat's body with it.
The flames licked at the fur, making a sizzling sound, and a burnt smell began to permeate the air.
Then, Reiz quickly skinned the goat with skilled and efficient movements.
He found a sturdy tree branch, threaded it through the goat's mouth and out through its tail, skewering the entire animal.
Next, Reiz gathered some dry twigs, piled them into a simple campfire, and set the skewered goat over it.
"Is this... a Unicorn Goat?" Linoshi stepped closer, looking at the skinned prey, and finally couldn't help but whisper, "The meat of this animal doesn't seem very tasty."
Her tone carried a hint of skepticism, but it was mostly curiosity.
Reiz ignored her, focusing intently on rotating the branch to let the flames lick the meat evenly.
The fire danced in the night, illuminating the area for several meters around them.
Grease dripped onto the charcoal, sizzling and sending up tiny sparks.
When the goat was nearly done, Reiz fished a small, homemade cloth bag from his pocket, opened it, and sprinkled the seasonings inside evenly over the meat.
The seasoning mix contained salt, MSG, chili powder, cumin, and more.
He had specially blended it during his spare time.
Planet Vegeta had similar plants, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Originally, Reiz had intended to use grilled meat to attract Whis and Beerus.
As it turned out, Reiz grilled meat at the palace gate for several days, but never saw Whis or Beerus come by.
From then on, Reiz had to give up the idea of being taken away by Whis and focused on increasing his own energy.
However, Reiz hadn't expected that these seasonings would actually come in handy on an occasion like this.
Also, although he hadn't met Whis and Beerus, he had encountered an Angel-in-training.
And this Angel-in-training happened to be a beautiful girl.
The moment the seasonings were sprinkled onto the Unicorn Goat, the aroma of the meat instantly drifted out.
The rich fragrance spread through the night breeze, carrying the distinct spicy scent of cumin and the charred aroma of meat, blending into a mouth-watering smell.
Linoshi's nose twitched slightly, and her blue eyes lit up instantly.
The aroma seemed to have a life of its own, drifting into her nasal cavity with the night breeze and teasing her taste buds.
Her nostrils flared slightly, and her blue eyes shimmered with curiosity and anticipation.
Reiz smiled, tore off a piece of the goat meat, and handed it to Linoshi.
The meat was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with golden seasonings, and still steaming slightly.
The grease glistened enticingly in the firelight, and a drop slid slowly along the texture of the meat, hitting the rock with a soft "sizzle."
Linoshi took the goat meat, holding it with both hands as if it were a rare treasure.
She brought the meat to the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently.
"It smells so good!" Linoshi smacked her lips, her blue eyes curving into crescent moons.
She lowered her head slightly, extending the tip of her pink tongue to carefully take a lick.
In that instant, her eyes lit up.
Her blue eyes were like ignited stars, instantly bursting with brilliant light.
She froze for a moment, seemingly unable to believe her taste buds.
Then, Linoshi took another small bite, savoring it with delight.
She closed her eyes, her cheeks moving gently, an expression of utter enjoyment on her face.
The firelight reflected on her fair cheeks, casting a warm blush.
As this bite of meat entered her mouth, Linoshi immediately felt the pleasure from her taste buds.
That complex aroma exploded in her mouth, the spiciness of cumin, the richness of the meat, the saltiness of the seasonings, all perfectly blended, stimulating every one of her taste buds.
"It's so delicious! I never imagined you could make the meat of this kind of animal taste so good!" Linoshi exclaimed, both surprised and delighted. She smacked her lips incessantly, taking another bite as she spoke, afraid of wasting this rare delicacy.
Reiz smiled with satisfaction.
He had to admit, Linoshi's way of eating the lamb looked quite cute.
She ate very carefully, taking small bites, her cheeks puffing out, occasionally sucking the grease from her fingers, her blue eyes filled with contentment.
The firelight on her face added a touch of warm, earthly charm to her delicate features.
Soon, the two of them had completely devoured the roasted whole lamb.
All that remained on the ground was a pile of clean-picked bones, not even a shred of meat left.
Linoshi licked her lips, looking unsatisfied, her blue eyes cast a pitiable glance at the empty branches, then at Reiz, as if she still wanted more but was too embarrassed to ask.
"Another one?" Reiz asked with a smile.
"Mmm... yes... okay." Linoshi nodded vigorously, a brilliant smile blooming on her face, and she quickly said, "Thank you!"
"No need to be so polite with me! Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back!" Reiz said, his figure flashing, disappearing from the spot.
A streak of light shot across the night sky, vanishing in an instant.
Linoshi stood in place, gazing in the direction he had disappeared, a satisfied smile still lingering on her lips.
She looked down at her greasy fingers, hesitated for a moment, then couldn't resist putting them in her mouth and sucking them.
Before long, Reiz returned with another lamb.
It was the same old routine.
Remove the fur and skin, set it up over the fire to roast.
Flames danced in the night, crackling audibly.
