Anime cuisine: Starting with glowing dishes

"Does your heart beat faster?"

Minos put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a smile.

"..." Medusa gave her a strange look, and Lu Pingan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"No, but I feel a light in my eyes...By the way, where's your tail?"

Lu Ping'an took a few steps to the side out of curiosity and looked behind Minos, but he didn't see any bulge...

"I'm wearing a waistband."

Minos replied, pointing to his still slender waist.

"Oh, it's possible to do this!"

Lu Ping'an glanced at her slender waist and his curiosity was satisfied.

"..."

After everyone arrived, they changed into wooden clogs at the entrance, went out, and passed through the space passage opened by Lukoya.

The Sumida River Fireworks Festival is Tokyo's most famous, oldest and largest fireworks festival.

It is held on the last Saturday of July every year. A total of 20,000 fireworks are set off. The scene is super grand and there are a lot of people.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of people attending the fireworks festival every year has exceeded 100 million!

For activities of this level, it would be difficult to park a car, and it would not be as convenient as a space channel.

When Lu Ping'an and others arrived, it was 6:50, and there were still ten minutes left before the fireworks display started.

The space passage opened by Lukoya is near Asakusa Station, and in front of it is a snack street specially organized for this fireworks festival.

The air is filled with the aroma of various foods——

The charred aroma of takoyaki, the sweetness of candied apples, the sweet aroma of roasted corn, the soy sauce flavor of fried noodles, the charcoal-fired aroma of grilled eel...

It floated over from afar!

The snack street was packed with people, most of whom were wearing yukata. Of course, there were also tourists from various countries in casual clothes - together they created the lively atmosphere unique to the summer festival.

"There are so many people! It's so lively!"

Minos looked over and spoke cheerfully.

Lu Pingan took a look and said with a smile: "Everyone is free to do whatever they want from now on. We will meet here after the fireworks display."

There are seven of them, so there is no need to act together. It would probably be more fun if they each play on their own.

"oh oh--!"

Minos clenched his fist and cheered, then trotted into the snack street in his wooden clogs, as happy as a child who was thousands of years old.

The little evil god followed closely behind, then Medusa and II.

Probably because it was the first time for them to participate in such an activity in the human world, everyone seemed very excited, looking left and right, and occasionally stopping in front of a stall.

Lu Pingan took Lily Ling's hand and walked into the crowd. Lu Keya followed beside him and raised her hand to signal:

"Please hold my hand too. I'm afraid I'll get lost."

"Are you a child?"

Lu Pingan was speechless for a moment, then smiled and slapped her hand away. He felt that he was lost, and it was impossible for Lu Keya to lose him.

"With so many people, even an adult would get lost!" Lukoya said confidently, with his hands on his hips.

"It's best if he gets lost. We can just spend some time alone together."

Lily Ling leaned forward and looked past Lu Ping'an at Lu Keya.

She was wearing a blue and white gradient yukata with bright flower patterns on it, an orange half-belt tied around her waist, a bun hairstyle, and a blue and white silk flower pinned to the side of her left ear, looking particularly pretty.

"Huh? Yuriling is so heartless!" Lukoya pretended to be surprised, then made an expression as if hurt by her indifference.

"If I were truly ruthless, I would have kicked you out long ago!"

Lily Ling curled her lips and looked away.

"...That's right." Lukoya was stunned for a moment when he heard that, tilted his head, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Lu Pingan glanced at the ice cream stand next to him and changed the subject: "Do you want some ice cream?"

"want!"

"Want to eat!"

The two women answered one after another.

So Lu Ping'an took them to queue up to buy ice cream.

When it was their turn, Lu Ping'an discovered that this was actually a 'dark cuisine' stall, and the signature ice cream was natto ice cream. He immediately took a breath of cold air.

'Gan! '

'No wonder I smelled a faint stench while waiting in line!'

"Natto ice cream...what an interesting flavor, would you like to try it?" Lily Ling glanced at the sign and said jokingly.

"I am not worthy of it..."

Lu Pingan shook his head and raised a finger to the stall owner and said, "I want a combination of original flavor and matcha flavor."

“I want vanilla and taro flavors.”

Lukoya then spoke.

"Ok."

The stall owner, a man in his forties, responded and took a cone. While scooping ice cream, he enthusiastically promoted it to Lily Ling:

"Would you like to try the natto flavor, little girl? It's absolutely amazing! I guarantee you'll want more!"

He spoke with full confidence, as if it were really delicious.

"No."

Lily Ling didn't want to try this strange flavor, so she quickly waved her hand and declined, "Please give me an original flavor, two balls, thank you."

"alright."

The uncle seemed a little regretful that he couldn't sell it.

"..."

After buying the ice cream, the three continued shopping.

After finishing a ball of ice cream, Lu Pingan sighed, "In the hot summer, eating something cold is the most comfortable!"

While eating the ice cream he bought on the roadside, he couldn't help but think of Yusa and Koji.

The two sisters have returned from the demon world. In the afternoon, they said in the Line group that they would come to watch the fireworks display tonight. I don’t know if I will meet them later.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" breaking through the air.

Looking up, I saw dozens of silver-white streams of light like retrograde meteors, dragging long tails of light straight into the sky.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Amidst the deafening roar of the explosion, countless fireworks burst into life, red like cinnabar, gold like glass, purple like pearl necklace, and green like emerald.

The brilliant light splashed across the night sky, illuminating the entire sky as bright as day.

Countless points of light splashed like broken jade, and like a river of stars pouring down, falling with fine rays of light.

The scene is extremely shocking!

Lu Ping'an couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Lily Ling said happily on the side: "It's started!"

You’ll never get tired of watching the dazzling fireworks!

"To be honest, it's really shocking..."

Lu Ping'an retracted his gaze, smiled, and said to Lily Ling and Lu Keya: "Let's find a place to watch the fireworks."

"Um... follow me."

Lukoya ate her ice cream and raised a finger with a smile: "I have already used magic to reserve a good position in advance!"

Lu Ping'an looked at her in surprise. Are you so reliable?

He praised: "Well done!"

"..." Lily Ling also looked at Lukoya in surprise, and felt that magic was really useful. Then she saw Lukoya smiling and puffing out her chest, and said in a charming tone:

"Praise me more, Ping An-kun, and you'll get a reward!"

"Are you going to reward him for spending time with me alone?"

Lily Ling half-closed her eyes and spoke.

Lukoya looked at her in disbelief.

"I haven't even taken you there yet, and you're already thinking of getting rid of me? That's too much!"

"You're going too far by firing your weapon right in front of me!"

Lily Ling glanced at her sideways.

“…” Lukoya smiled and looked away, not saying anything else.

……

……

Chapter 204 The Prophet's Knife!

Lu Ping'an followed Lu Keya for about ten minutes. The noise around them gradually died down and the flow of people became much thinner.

He looked around and, with the help of the light from the colorful fireworks in the sky, he found that this area was divided into several areas by several small wooden signs with numbers on them.

Each area maintains a perfect distance so as not to disturb each other while sharing this excellent viewing spot.

Lu Ping'an's heart moved, and Lily Ling also noticed these small wooden signs and said in a firm tone: "Is this the toll area?"

"Bingo!"

Lukoya, who was walking in front, snapped his fingers, a smile on his face, and turned around and said:

"It's quieter here, there aren't as many people... The free zone is too noisy."

"really."

Lu Ping'an agreed with great approval.

The free zone is a free viewing area. Walking along the way, without exception, it is packed with people, noisy and crowded.

"..."

"Here we are, right here!"

Soon, they arrived at an open area.

Lukoya took out a picnic blanket, shook it gently and spread it on the lawn, then took off his clogs and stepped on it barefoot.

Lu Ping'an followed and stepped onto the picnic blanket and sat on the ground.

Looking around, you can see countless fireworks blooming in the night, colorful and dazzling.

The water of the Sumida River ripples gently, embracing all the flowing lights in the sky. The sparkling waves reflect another swaying and shining dream world.

It is so beautiful that it makes people feel relaxed and happy, and shocked!

The only drawback is probably the smell of gunpowder? It's a bit pungent...

"..."

There's no need to say much, and it's not convenient to chat right now.

Lu Ping'an leaned back and lay directly on the picnic blanket, resting his arms on his head and looking at the fireworks in the sky.

When Yuriling and Lukoya saw this, they followed suit and lay down on either side of him, one on each side.

Seeing this, Lu Ping'an reached out and took Lily Ling's hand, interlocking their fingers, and then quietly took Lu Keya's hand.
