The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto himself had a small half-bowl of Hundred-Crab Noodles, while the three judges had only one bite each. Not only did the three judges have dark expressions, but even the people watching the live broadcast had dark expressions.

"You've already eaten so many dishes. For your own good, I deliberately reduced the portions. More importantly, I took apart hundreds of crabs by myself and made several dishes. I'm hungry and plan to fill my stomach. I'm sure you don't mind, Natsuki-chan."

What Hakuto said made sense. Those watching him subconsciously nodded. What Hakuto said was reasonable. The judges had indeed eaten many dishes today. Their stomachs were probably almost full.

But Natsuki and the others looked at Hakuto, their eyes practically blazing with anger.

[Wow, Natsuki-chan, you can't really blame me for this. Several of my contracted Spirits were making a fuss, demanding to eat. They said they'd cause trouble if I didn't agree. What could I do? Of course, I had to satisfy those contracted Spirits!]

Hakuto himself wasn't craving it. He could just make it again when he got home. The problem was that the several contracted Spirits residing within Hakuto were very dissatisfied with his behavior. They had let the "Four Dishes from One Fish" slide, but now this Hundred-Crab Noodles, and still no share for them? No way. If he doesn't feed them, they'll cause trouble!

So, faced with this threat, what could Hakuto do? He had no choice but to compromise. First, appease the contracted Spirits on his body. He would deal with the rest later.

Knowing that Hakuto hadn't done it on purpose, the expressions of Natsuki and the others improved slightly. Then, looking at the bite of noodles in front of them, Natsuki, Yae Miko, and Bai Yuekui unceremoniously ate them directly.

The moment the Hundred-Crab Noodles entered their mouths, an intense umami flavor shot straight to the top of their heads. That umami flavor almost pierced through their skulls. A strong appetite was instantly aroused. But that bastard Hakuto had only given them one bite.

Gone. Nothing left to eat. Subconsciously, they looked at the small half-bowl in Hakuto's hand. Then they looked at Hakuto, their eyes conveying a strong sense of displeasure.

Hakuto ate the small half-bowl of Hundred-Crab Noodles in a few bites, then spoke. "Due to time constraints, I only made a single serving of Hundred-Crab Noodles, so the portion was small. If you agree, I could make more. But right now, you should announce the result."

Following Hakuto's words, the three judges each cast their vote for Hakuto. Hakuto was very satisfied with this result.

Saiba Asahi smiled bitterly and conceded defeat. Because Hakuto had also given him a bite of Hundred-Crab Noodles, he knew he had lost and accepted it wholeheartedly.

"I lost. I will unconditionally do one thing for you. But if you ever hurt my sister, even if I'm no match for you, I won't let you off."

Hakuto couldn't be bothered to respond to Saiba Asahi. He was about to slip away, but before he could leave, he was caught.

"You're not trying to back out of the promised Hundred-Crab Noodles, are you?"

Yae Miko looked at Hakuto with a smile, but the threat in her eyes was completely undisguised. Hakuto had originally planned to go directly to the Vatican, but now...

"Fine, come to my place. Oh, right, Natsuki-chan, I won the Chef God Candidate Examination. Please pick up the reward for me. The Thousand-year Aged Starter Dough."

Natsuki nodded. "Don't worry, I'll bring you the starter dough. But first, you need to fulfill your promise. Make the Hundred-Crab Noodles you promised us."

What else could Hakuto do? He had to agree. He took everyone home and made a batch of Hundred-Crab Noodles for them. The result was that he almost couldn't lift his hands afterward. Hundred-Crab Noodles were delicious, but the preliminary work of removing the crab meat, crab roe, and crab legs was really tiring. It was truly expensive and life-consuming.

After finishing all this, Hakuto finally booked a flight to the Vatican to go deal with Satan.

To be honest, Hakuto missed Yakumo Yukari a bit. Mainly because Yakumo Yukari's ability was really useful. As a mount, she was beyond reproach. Hakuto had a feeling that if he could, he wanted to catch Yakumo Yukari in a Poké Ball. That way, he wouldn't need to take planes anymore.

In Touhou Project, Yakumo Yukari could open gaps all the way to the moon. So, traveling anywhere within the planet would be completely fine.

[When will the diary give me an ability like Yakumo Yukari's gap, eliminating the need for travel time? From Japan to the Vatican wastes another eight or nine hours. A round trip takes almost a whole day. If I had Yakumo Yukari's ability, I could get there in the blink of an eye.]

[If not, at least give me a Poké Ball so I can catch Yakumo Yukari as a Pokémon!]

Seeing this diary entry, Yakumo Yukari was so angry she wanted to hit someone, 'That bastard Hakuto, what did he take me for? He wanted to catch me, Yakumo Yukari, as a Pokémon? He must be daydreaming!'

[But Satan... I always feel like this incident is gradually leading me into some kind of trap. But whatever, it shouldn't be a big problem. With the contracted Spirits I have, there's nothing I can't solve. And at home, there's Nyaruko, so I don't have to worry about anyone attacking my base while I'm away. Speaking of which, I wonder how things are going with Megumi. I asked Natsuki-chan to take Megumi to see Kikyo. I wonder if there are any aftereffects from Megumi being possessed by that demon earlier.]

[And that tsundere Erina, I wonder if she's still angry with me. Should I go apologize? Although I don't think I did anything wrong, not considering Erina's feelings was indeed my mistake.]

[And Alice. Alice seems much more mature to me. After this is over, I'll take a good rest. I always feel like things have been happening one after another lately. It's been less than two months, but it feels like I've experienced so many things.]

[There are really so many things. The Legendary Cooking Utensils in the hands of the Restoration Society. Then Sawamura Spencer Eriri in Britain. Then the boundary problem in Gensokyo. Then the hidden danger in my own body. But once Natsuki-chan gets the starter dough, that problem should be resolved. After that, after dealing with the Restoration Society and then Sawamura Spencer Eriri in Britain, I can quietly develop here in Japan for three years. Then I can go back to Great Ming.]
