Chapter 14 - Festival Food

(Uranohoshi Girls High)

(Leon POV)

I gotta say it's really awkward and nervous over one thousand entering the Girl's school by myself...but man Chika must have been waiting for me in the very last minute to get back to the Ryokan Inn... I'm such a terrible person to promise...but then again I had to keep my identity as Starlight Sentinel secret from my own club and best friends...till I kinda tell everyone here in Aqours that I was because of that one moment...I had to break through the small lock that kept from making me fully unlocked all of my abilites...

So here is the place that I learn to release my true self and well help Leonidas and Ruin regain the lost strength they used to have... Maybe those pendants are to help Leonidas and Ruin gain further levels of power than before...

"Uh, Leon are we gonna stand here walking in circles or what?" Leonidas asked confused "You know it's bad to keep people waiting if we are willing to help," Ruin said bored expression "Sorry about that you two I was thinking if those pendants I found with Leonidas are keys to gaining your full power again..." I said "WHA?!" Both yelled shocked expressions...

I was at a really bad start right now on a promise to help with everyone but the problem is where the hell is everyone at?!... *Sniff sniff* I smell cooking?? "I smell food!!" Ruin yelled, "It's coming over here follow!" Leonidas yelled both went near the classroom...

"WAHHHHHH!! SPICY!!! IH HO HICEY HOHIKO!! SPICY! WATER!! GIMMIE WATER!!" ??? yelled (Y-You?!) I thought flinched "Spicy food...ugh," Leonidas said flinched "Oooooh tasty," Ruin said licking his lips... "I can't handle spicy food either Leonidas," I said sweatdrop ruffled his head "You'll never rise in the little demon ranks if something mild like this makes you shriek so loud. Also, I'm not Hohiko, I'm Yoshiko. No, wait Yohane!" Yoshiko yelled "Mild!? I don't know what you're talking about. That stuff is seriously spicy though! What did you put in it?! Cayenee?! One of your disciples?! An eagle talon?!" You yelled "Ghost pepper powder! Doesn't it sounds so cool!!" Yoshiko yelled (....No) Leonidas thought (I think it's cool) Ruin thought (...Uhhh) I thought sweatdrop looked down at the two...

"Yoshiko I'm not going to tell you no spicy food. All I want to say have some little restraint" You said sighed "It's not Yoshiko! It's Yohane! I used restraint!" Yoshiko yelled "Yeah right!" You yelled back "...Am I interrupting something?" I asked confused "Oh Yohane right-handed man from the Rainbow Metropolis is here! The Great Demon Leon!! Have you come to assist your Ladyship in her time of need?" Yoshiko asked "Right-hand man???" You asked confused "...It's a long story..." I said sweatdrop (Rainbow Metropolis?! She's given me a wild title there...Right hand-man and Great Demon excluded) I thought confused expression "Are you here to help or not?!" Yoshiko yelled "Y-Yeah I was trying to look for everyone when I realized something was tasty. So I'm here to investigate and what are you guys cooking?" I asked confused expression "It's a trial dish for some food we are making for the festival. We're trying to figure out what we want to make" You said nervously chuckled "Festival Food is key to success! You guys must be amazing cooks then!" I yelled shocked expression "Oh no, not at all! We worked at a seaside restaurant before, so we have some experience cooking. So does Mari too but she's busy right now" You said smiled "Right she was telling me about some Bon dance. Aren't you suppose to work on the happi designs too Yoshiko? I asked confused "Heh heh heh. The magical delights Yohane makes for the festival will make all the humans fall from grace!" Yoshiko yelled "Well it has devil taste to it, that for sure," You said sighed "That's pretty hard criticism there You. What did Yoshiko make anyway?" I asked confused "BLOODY MOON STICKS!! They are known as 'Tears of a Fallen Angel: Revolution!' You should try some!" Yoshiko yelled "Interesting name is it this takoyaki? They're on skewers like dango dumplings that's pretty neat. You could eat these while walking around the festival!" I yelled shocked expression "Can I try one too?" Ruin asked "Sure here you go," I said smiled "Thanks now then" Ruin said "Yep down the hatch!" I yelled "...Uh oh," You said flinched "AAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I yelled as Ruin munching peacefully "Not so bad than I thought it would be" Ruin said smiled "I guess you're right," Leonidas said sweatdrop *munch* "JEEZUAAHSHDHDHDHDBDD!!!" Leonidas yelled can't make words...

*ONE PAINFUL RECOVERY LATERR*

"N-O! NO! We aren't serving that to children!" I yelled "Ugh! What's wrong with you three only Ruin likes it! No need to squeal like jeez! Is it seriously that spicy!! it's like only tangy at most!" Yoshiko yelled "T-Tangy are you craz-I guess it would make a great challenge food," I said sighed "Uh, huh I see, A great method for weeding those two out weak to become little demons! I would revoke you of your position if you weren't so useful" Yoshiko said "No one could passed the test! Hmm, if it wasn't do spicy it'd actually be yummy. It did have decent flavor into it" You said smiled "What about making different levels of hotness? Like, make one for sweet and spicy one for the kids or something?" I asked "Kids...Hmm, you do have a point...Suddenly thrusting humans into the world of demons is a bit too much. I'll rethink the flavor" Yoshiko said "Good!" You yelled "You, what did you make? Omelet Rice?" I asked confused "Have a bite" You said giggled "Sure thing!" I yelled with Leonidas *MUNCH* "...IT'S PERFECT!!" Leonidas yelled munching his bowl peacefully "...Hmm, let me try-... YOU'RE RIGHT!!" Ruin yelled "W-Wow..This yakisoba with frigg egg on top! It's so damn good!" I yelled "You all think so? It's Nicenoodles, my specialty! I made it at the seaside restaurant and people loved it. Although this one had extra seafood" You explained "Yeah there's a lot of seafood in it. Perfect for a seaside town. The ketchup drawing on the egg is cute, and it feels more specialized than regular yakisoba" I said munching away "Hehe...Thanks!" You yelled "...Man, maybe I wanna marry You one day..." I said "H-Huh?!" You yelled "WHAT?!" Yoshiko yelled "Hm?" I asked confused "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Yoshiko yelled furiously (Did I say that out loud...?!) I thought eyes widened dead expression "Uhhh I uhh..." I said sweatdrop sweating nervously "Ahaha...Anyway so for the festival are you going to make Nicenoddles and Takoyaki?" I asked "T-The takoyaki needs more improvement. We want to satisfied everyone's hunger and hearts when they entered the festival..." You said nervously chuckled "...I will not lose to YOU!" Yoshiko yelled "H-Huh?!" Both yelled flinched "Just leave that to me! I will seduce the tongues of all men, women, elders, and children!" Yoshiko yelled "...Wait...WHAT?!" I yelled, "With my food!" Yoshiko yelled (Ohhh that's what she meant phew) I thought sweatdrop looked over at Leonidas and Ruin finished eating watching over us...

"We're thinking of a few desserts too, Crepes, chocolate-dipped bananas, and cotton candy though it will be tough..." You said sweatdrop "Don't you think we have our hands full with two dishes already? We only have so much space to lose too" Yoshiko said sweatdrop "You might be right. Though choosing for deserts could be a rough one to take out from the festival...how about frozen mikan oranges? You just have to freeze them!" I yelled, "Hey that might just actually work!" You yelled, "They are already hard to peel and make your hands wet once they have melted..." Yoshiko said sighed "How about peeling them and segmenting them from freezing?" I asked "After that, you can put them in a cup-like snowcone and can be moved around," I said smiled (The little encounter with Chika makes perfect idea for this!) I thought (I agree) Leonidas thought (Now I'm even more hungry but eh I'm stuff) Ruin thought "Woah! That's a great idea! We'll call them 'Nibble Mikans!' What great name!" You yelled in excitement "Hmm...it's certainly less work then crepes and chocolate-dipped bananas" Yoshiko said bored expression "You don't sound so excited" I said sweatdrop "Just like angels and devils loathe each other Yohane and mikans oranges have ingrained hate for each other" Yoshiko said (How are Chika friends with her????!!) I thought shocked expression "Yoshiko, what did the mikans do to you???" I asked shocked "Well Nicenoodles and Takoyaki with Nibble Mikans will be served in the Aqours Summer Festival menu!" You yelled, "I hope a lot of people come to eat them!" I yelled "Yes, also it's not Takoyaki. It's Bloody Moon sticks! Get it right on the menu!" Yoshiko yelled (After some modifications to "Bloody Moon sticks" it's time for their next test drive)...

"Mmm! These are really good Yoshiko!" You yelled "It's Yohane! And I personally preferred the way before..." Yoshiko said, "Well there's always changes from the past and now let's give it a go!" I yelled, "L-Leon wait that's from-..." You warned "Too late..." Leonidas said faceplanted *MUNCH* "AAAGHHHHGGGGHHHHAHAAHAJAJJAAJJAJAAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJJSJ!!!!" I yelled...

"First batch..." You said sighed "...I'll get more water..." Ruin said sweatdrop...
