Chapter 22: The Ungrateful Seimei
When Mei returned to the temple with the prepared rabbit meat, Yōki looked at the tender meat in Mei's hands and felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.
But... when Mei took out a pot and began stir-frying the rabbit meat, sprinkling seasonings over it bit by bit, the tender meat completely transformed into food that made mouths water.
"Okay, it's ready. Come try it! Stir-fried rabbit with bamboo shoots! Spicy rabbit heads! Sour and spicy bamboo shoots!"
Mei placed the dishes she had made herself on a large rock.
"It smells so good, Lord Mei."
Yingcao hugged Tsukumo and ran over to the rock. Just from the smell alone... Yingcao felt like she could not bear it anymore. It was a delicious aroma she had never smelled before.
"I never expected Mom to be such a good cook." Crimson Crow's Wing looked equally surprised.
"This is a method I've never seen before. This isn't Japanese cuisine, is it?" Yōki had initially been somewhat resistant to eating rabbit meat, but now, looking at the fragrant and appetizing rabbit dishes, her resistance instantly vanished.
Yōki had originally made up her mind not to eat those poor rabbits, but the scent alone had shaken her resolve.
Why did it smell so good?
"Come and try some. I don't cook often, you know!" Mei took out several pairs of prepared chopsticks and handed them to the others.
Ten minutes later, Mei looked at the three of them, who had licked even the wooden plates clean. She herself had only eaten a few bites...
And Yōki, hadn't she said rabbits were so cute and refused to let Mei kill them? Why was she eating so quickly? She had even started fighting for the food later on.
