Party

"Since everyone's here, let's start the party!" Smith said in a cheerful tone. To be honest, she was already hungry when she got here.

"Oi! Why did you start it?"

"Come on, don't dwell on trifles," Smith said, replied casually in response to Sagiri.

"Smith, you weren't with Zombina and the others?" Asked Kimihito, who thought she would come with Zombina and her friends. Besides that, Zombina also said that they were Smith's co-workers, and it was strange not to see them now.

'Hm? Could it be that she didn't invite them?' He thought, finding it odd that Smith had come to Yuragi-sou alone.

Meanwhile, hearing his question, Smith simply replied casually, "Ah, Zombina and others? I remember giving them a job earlier."

"Is it okay not to invite them?"

"Don't worry, they will be fine."

They all had a hard time believing Smith's words. How not, the way she talks seems to say the opposite. However, that didn't mean they would stop the party just because the Zombina and the others didn't come.

"By the way, I didn't forget to buy lots of canned coffee earlier."

"..."

Before Smith came here, she had time to stop at the convenience store to buy a bag full of canned coffee. All that, of course, she would not drink now. She intended to drink some here and take the rest home to be stored in her apartment.

"You really are a coffee-loving maniac, Smith." He had thought of it that way.

"But if I'm being honest, your coffee is the best. Too bad I can't enjoy your coffee tonight because it looks like you'll be busy, right?"

Honestly, after drinking Kimihito's coffee, Smith felt that all the coffee she drank tasted ordinary and the taste would never match his brew. She even intended to go every morning to Yuragi-sou just to drink the coffee he brewed.

"I'll make it for you if you want."

"Really? You are so kind~"

"That's no big deal."

Even though Kimihito was sure that he would be pretty busy with cooking, at least he didn't mind taking 5 minutes in advance to make her a pot of coffee. After all, he also felt a little sorry for the taste of the coffee Smith used to feel became a bit bland. But that doesn't mean he thinks of himself as the one who caused her sense of taste to change.

"Geez..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Sakie? I just remembered this is our meeting after so long." Smith just realized that Sakie had been staring at her for a long time.

"Eh? You're not her coordinator, Smith?" He was surprised that Smith wasn't in charge of taking care of Sakie, considering he was a demi-human.

"No, I left her to someone else… I even forgot that."

Having a lot of work to do makes Smith sometimes forget some things. After all, it will only weigh on her mind. She only remembered having dealt with Sakie's transfer a few years ago, but she had already forgotten that. She felt the matter was over, so naturally, it was okay to forget about it. After all, it would only weigh on her mind if she kept remembering all the things she had finished, and it would harm her and her work instead.

"You don't even remember it?! You handed me over to the National Security Council headquarter!" Sakie shouted, questioning how Smith had treated her in the past.

"Is that true? But isn't that even good? You're also a Succubus, after all."

"I understand that Succubus are hard to take care but… Sigh…"

Being a Succubus certainly made the people who took care of her must be trustworthy, and Sakie herself understood that. However, she didn't expect that she would be handled directly by the National Security Council, which was then directed to the demi-humans security center. It surprised her, and she had thought that she would be arrested. But luckily, she was only watched by trusted people from there without needing any special treatment. And as for Smith, that woman had left her without saying anything.

Smith herself, at that time, also thought of this. The Succubus was one of those types of demi-humans which was quite tricky. She couldn't entrust it to just any host. So she thought it would be easier to keep an eye on her if it was the demi-humans security center who kept an eye on her. Apart from that, it is the most straightforward way to solve Sakie's problem and her own problem of finding a suitable host.

"Don't overthink about the problems that have happened in the past, Sakie-chan sensei~ Forget all your troubles and let's get drunk with me~" Nonko said, looking at Sakie who seemed to be stressed because of Smith. She hasn't given up yet and is still trying to seduce Sakie at a time like this.

"M-maybe later after the party."

'Just a little is fine, right?' She thought. After all, there was only one man here, and that was also Kimihito, so there was nothing to worry about.

Keep in mind, Sakie still thinks that Kimihito is the only man who is not affected by her aphrodisiac effects. Again, that was what she thought. Besides, she also believed that it would be a good opportunity for her to talk to him while drunk together, and she couldn't wait for it.

"Yaaay! Finally got another drinking buddy~"

"But only a little..." Sakie said telling Nonko.

"It doesn't matter if Sakie-chan sensei also drinks a lot too~"

Shhhhs

While they were chatting, suddenly, they all could smell the beef of the yakiniku, which seemed to be ready to eat. At this moment, Chitose who was still grilling yakiniku felt everyone's gazes on her. Or rather, at the yakiniku beef she grills. While showing a warm smile, she immediately moved the cooked beef onto the plate.

" Please enjoy the food..." Chitose said while carrying a plate full of yakiniku.

"Whoa!" Everyone immediately took everything without leftovers because they already knew that Chitose's cooking was unquestionable. Even Sakie could tell that her cooking was really fantastic.

Seeing Yuuna who also took the yakiniku, Sakie immediately remembered that she was a ghost, which made her curious. "Can Yunohana-san also eat?"

"Um, Even though I'm a ghost, I can still eat and drink." Yuuna said while enjoying her yakiniku.

"Yuuna can taste the taste of food if it's for offerings." He said, completing Yuuna's explanation.

"I see..."

This was the first time Sakie knew that ghosts can eat too because she had never asked ghosts if they also eat, and she just found out that ghosts need a unique way to taste the food they eat.

Actually, Sakie already knew that some demi-humans required particular food, such as herbivores and carnivores, and specific cases such as Vampire demi-humans who were supplied with blood every month by the government.

Sakie herself does not require particular intake as a succubus, such as male sperm. Many H stories tell of the Succubus as a creature that will squeeze a man's sperm out, but in fact, she has never tried drinking it and can still live an everyday life until now without it.

"Incredible! Your cooking is indeed the best Chitose!" Smith said, commenting on Chitose's unbeatable cuisine.

"Glad you all like it."

Hearing Smith's words, Yaya's cat ears seemed to move a little, then she suddenly said, "But Kimihito's cooking is much better."

"Eeh~ I wonder how it tastes~"

"Fufufu~ I'm curious how it will taste..." Even though Smith had met and known him several times, she had never tasted his cooking. Besides that, she was eager to try it after being told by Zombina.

"Um... That reminds me, I haven't felt it in a long time either." As her childhood friend, Sakie must have tried his cooking many times, and now that she hadn't tasted it for a long time. She wondered if his cooking skills had improved again.

Since childhood, Kimihito has often cooked with ingredients he got from the wild. Of course, his cooking skills are not immediately like a famous chef. It took a struggle for him to perfect his cooking skills. However, he was lucky because he had a sense of taste that was more sensitive than ordinary humans, so he could improve his cooking skills quickly.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he thought, 'Looks like it's about time...'

"Would you all like to try it?" he asked.

"Umu!" X7 Everyone can't wait to try it.

"Fufufu~ Looks like Kimihito-kun's cooking is better than mine."

"Don't be too low on yourself, Chitose-san. Your cooking is still the best too."

When compared to his cooking, Chitose's cooking will definitely lose. However, her cooking will definitely win compared to the others because no ordinary human can match her cooking skills for almost 1000 years.

"Wait a minute, I'll grill the beef." He immediately got ready to cook.

Cryss

After Kimihito put the beef on the grill, everyone was surprised to hear the sound of the meat being grilled as if screaming with joy as it was being cooked by him. Chitose, who had seen him cook again, was surprised. She still couldn't believe how outstanding his cooking skills were.

When Sakie saw him cooking, he said, "It seems your cooking skills have improved since the last time."

"Whoa! For the umpteenth time, you were able to surprise me, Kimihito Kurusu." Smith couldn't believe his excellent cooking skills, which made her even more attracted to Kimihito.

"I'm sure it will be delicious with all these drinks~" Nonko said, imagining that while drinking Sake.

"W-wait, Yaya! It's still not finished!" Sagiri immediately stopped Yaya beside her, who seemed ready to jump at Kimihito.

"Yaya can't take it anymore… Slurp!" Yaya said while wiping her saliva.

"Wait a minute, and it will taste a lot better."

"Gulp!"

Everyone who heard it fell silent. They saw Kimihito cooking like a spectacular show. No one took their eyes off him, and even they would feel at a loss if they blinked. Even though it only lasted for a moment, it felt very long. Even if they could, they could have watched it for a bit longer, but it seems their stomachs are not strong enough to hold it.

"It's done..." With that, it was all over.

They could all see the pile of yakiniku that he had finished cooking. Unlike before, they took one by one slowly for fear of spoiling the taste if they scrambled to take it. Kimihito, who saw it, just smiled. He had also taken some for himself.

"Ungh!" X7

At the first bite, they could see a cow or rather, the life journey from the yakiniku they ate. It was like a movie. They could watch from the birth of a cute baby cow until it became an adult and happy.

'Why are you all crying?' He thought that seeing everyone seemed to be shedding tears but with a happy expression.

"Cow-chan~"

"Calm down, Yaya. I'm sure cow-chan is really happy!"

"Hwaa~ I'm glad that cow-chan can be happy at the end," Yuuna said.

"..." They were all left speechless.

"Ahaa~ I thought it would be delicious with a bottle of sake~" Nonko was still Nonko. She cared more about her drink.

The party still continues. After that, they finished Kimihito's Yakiniku quickly, and he kept cooking it again until all the beef was gone.
