Animeverse Kitchen: My Culinary Journey Begins with Glowing Food! Chapter 75: One Dares to Brag, the Other Dares to Believe!

"What should we na him?"

Now that they had adopted him, he obviously needed a na. Yurine posed the question on the way ho.

"I say we call him 'Two-Face'," Jashin-chan chid in, glaring at the magical beast cub trotting obediently at Yurine's feet. "His attitude toward is completely different from how he acts with you guys. He's constantly changing his face."

"And whose fault do you think that is?" Ryohei asked, looking back at her, speechless. Yurine and Minos also shot her a look. You've really got so nerve.

"Woof woof—!" the beast cub barked accusingly at Jashin-chan.

"Well, if you really want to assign bla, you can only bla his ancestors, right?" Jashin-chan said after a mont of profound thought, her hand on her chin. "It's because his ancestors committed so many sins that I have to be wary of him." She saw absolutely nothing wrong with her own logic.

"You really don't think you're the problem at all, do you? You're a non-stick pan," Ryohei retorted.

Getting back on topic, Minos considered the na from a practical angle. "Why don't we just call him 'Woof Woof'? Na him after the sound he makes. What do you guys think?"

"What do you think?" Yurine asked, looking down at the beast cub by her feet.

The cub shook its head.

"Looks like he's not a fan."

"Tch! So picky! If you're so smart, why don't you na yourself!" Jashin-chan huffed, her hands on her hips.

"Grrrrrr—!" the beast cub spun around, lowered its body, and let out a warning growl from deep in its throat. I've had enough of you, scumbag snake!

"How about we call him Beto?" Ryohei suggested. He seed to recall that was his na in the ani.

'Beto?' Yurine's head whipped around, her reddish-brown eyes wide with disbelief, her lips slightly parted. That was the exact sa na she had just thought of.

W-What is this? Are we on the sa wavelength? No way… At that mont, Yurine's heart began to beat a little faster as she looked at Ryohei's handso face, her breath catching in her throat.

"What do you think of that na, Yurine?" Ryohei asked, noticing her startled reaction, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Um, I think it's a great na…" Yurine's voice was a little unsteady.

Just as Ryohei was about to say sothing else, he felt sothing on his leg. He looked down and saw the beast cub affectionately rubbing against his calf.

"Looks like he's a fan of the na, too," Ryohei said, a little surprised.

"That's wonderful! From now on, your na is Beto!" Yurine said, kneeling down and ruffling the fur on his head. For so reason, she felt strangely self-conscious under Ryohei's gaze and needed to distract herself.

Jashin-chan clicked her tongue at Beto's brown-nosing. "What a cunning little beast! Already knows how to suck up to people at his age!"

"In a way, a 7,000-year-old who only knows how to cause trouble is even less mature than Beto," Ryohei said casually.

"What?!" Jashin-chan bristled, slithering right up to him. "What's with you tonight, Subject? Are you looking for a fight?" He had been undermining her all evening.

"Sorry, sorry. I was just being a little too blunt," Ryohei apologized, though his expression wasn't very apologetic at all.

"You're better off not apologizing!"

"I'll be more careful next ti."

"You still want there to be a next ti?!"

"That's about enough," Yurine's calm voice cut in.

"Oh, okay," Jashin-chan imdiately backed down, leaving Minos, who was still pulling the cart, at a complete loss for words. She just shot Jashin-chan a sidelong glance and smiled ( ﹁ ﹁ ).

Back at the new house, Jashin-chan refused to go to the pet store to buy supplies for Beto, so she was left behind to clean the food cart and watch the house. Ryohei and the others took Beto and a taxi to a large pet store.

"Welco!" an employee greeted them with a smile as they walked in. His gaze fell on Beto, and he paused, confused. In his two and a half years of working here, he had never seen a creature like this.

"Hello. How much is it for a pet bath?" Ryohei asked. Although Beto looked clean, since they were already here, he figured they might as well get him properly washed.

"Our bath and blow-dry services are usually priced by the pet's breed. What kind is he?" the employee asked, still unable to identify the animal.

"He's a dog," Ryohei said, then looked down. "Beto, bark for him."

"Woof woof—!" Beto sat down and let out two perfect barks.

Okay, it's a dog! But what kind of dog looks like that? The employee felt like he had learned sothing new today. He put on his professional smile. "Given your dog's size, we'll just charge the standard rate for a dium-sized dog. That will be 8,000 yen."

"He doesn't bite, does he?"

"No, Beto is very gentle," Ryohei said, looking at Yurine.

"Please take Beto for his bath," Yurine said to the employee. "Is it alright if I go with him?"

"Of course. This way, please."

While Beto was being grood, Ryohei and Minos went with another employee to look at doghouses. Ryohei, rembering from the ani that Beto grew quite a bit, decided to buy a large one to save them the trouble of replacing it later.

"Do you prefer a pre-assembled doghouse, or a kit you can build yourself?" the employee asked.

"A kit, please," Ryohei replied. A pre-assembled house would be too difficult to transport in a taxi.

"A wise choice. You have more material options with a kit, the price is more reasonable, and you can even customize it a bit," the employee said. "We have these three basic models."

He gestured to three display models on a shelf. "We'll provide you with all the necessary materials and blueprints. Even a complete beginner can assemble it with ease."

"You can leave the assembly to ," Minos said, turning to Ryohei with her hand on her ample chest. "I'm pretty good at this sort of thing."

"Really? Then I'll leave it to you," Ryohei said, happily delegating the task. He rembered that her family was in the construction business in the Demon World. It made sense that she would have so skill in this area.

"Actually, if you just give the materials and tools, I could build you a doghouse from scratch," she boasted, her chest puffed out with pride, her silver tail swishing behind her. "Building a real house is no problem, either."

"Well, buying the materials would be less convenient than just buying a kit," Ryohei said with a smile. "But maybe you can show your skills so other ti."

"Sure, no problem!" Minos replied, full of energy.

The employee, watching the two of them, couldn't help but think, One dares to brag, and the other dares to believe. They must have a great relationship! Are they a couple?
