Chapter 318 Let’s have a good meal! Happy New Year everyone!

"Thank you so much, meow!"

Meow Meow held up the steak that was bigger than his head, with a happy expression on his face.

"Yes, yes, we didn't have any friendship before, but we can still have such a delicious meal~"

Kojiro was still a little reserved, but he was already secretly swallowing his saliva at the steak in front of him.

"Ah, ah, ah - stop talking there and come and eat!"

Musashi was not going to be so polite. He was already hungry after coming all the way from Kanto.

"Oh, oh, oh, it smells so good~"

At this moment, she was already holding a handful of skewers in two hands, chewing them non-stop, looking like a tomboy.

Bo——!

Wang Yao flicked his thumb and opened a bottle of soda.

"Slurp—ha! You're welcome. Eat more, eat more."

Wang Yao picked up a small piece of meat steak that had been cut by Xianla with two fingers of his right hand, dipped it in the sauce and put it into his mouth.

The roasted aroma of rosemary and onions makes the steak even more delicious on your taste buds.

"Well, this is just the right level of softness."

Wang Yao grabbed Psyduck, who was busy eating, and wiped his hands elegantly on the duck's head.

Then he shouted towards the kitchen.

"Daidai, grill another batch of steaks and skewers, and don't add any more tree fruits. You can still be full just by eating meat."

"Yadong~"

"Arigato! Yosang!" - x3

……

"Ugh...that damn guy!"

A few meters away, Taohua, who was enjoying a "healthy lunch" with her niece, gradually clenched her fists.

Is this showing off?!

This must be showing off, right?

"...How about we go eat something together?"

Shizuka looked at the green broccoli on the white plate in front of her and asked Aunt Taohua hesitantly.

"No! This is the dignity of a beautiful girl! Shizuka-chan and I must not lose to this guy!"

Taohua wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and tried not to smell the wonderful aroma of steak in the air.

"Ha~ It smells so good..."

But Xuxiang, who was sitting next to him, had already become a captive of the food.

"I said... absolutely not..."

Taohua's little hand had already stopped on the soft flesh of Xuxiang's waist without her noticing.

“… Lost to that guy!”

The two white and tender fingers exerted force like the claws of a giant crab.

“Ooooooooooooooooo!!”

Xuxiang flew up instantly in pain.

Bang-!

After falling to the ground, Xuxiang struggled to get up by holding on to the table.

"I...I know...it's delicious! This cauliflower is so delicious!"

"And... and this spinach... it's simply a delicacy!"

Xuxiang sat down again, picked up the plate in front of him, and swept the vegetables on it into his mouth like a whirlwind.

"Burp! Cough cough!"

He pounded his chest a few times and tried hard to swallow the food.

"Private Marseille, dear, I've finished all the dishes..."

Xuxiang's cheeks were puffed up like a well-fed chinchilla, and he apologized in a muffled voice.

"Ah la la... there's nothing we can do about this."

Taohua reached out and poked the cute junior's cheek with amusement.

This guy is an idiot... How could he come up with such a stupid idea?

"I can't let my lovely niece Shizuka go hungry..."

Then he stood up, took his little niece's hand, and walked to the barbecue stall run by Boss Daidai.

“Is there any kebab that even pretty girls can enjoy?”

Taohua asked.

"Yadong~"

Daidai stood with his hands behind his back, and a green pepper slowly floated out of the vegetable basket behind him.

"Well……"

Taohua fell silent.

"Okay, Taohua...Auntie...If we only eat barbecue occasionally, then we won't..."

Shizuka called out the word "Auntie" somewhat shamelessly, and handed over a skewer of meat that was still sizzling with oil.

The wonderful fragrance rushed straight into Taohua's nostrils.

"I...I don't need to..."

Taohua resisted the urge to eat and turned her head away.

"Hey! What's wrong with you, little girl?!"

A strong arm embraced Taohua.

Due to the height difference, Taohua's head happened to be squeezed in a delicate position.

"Goooooooo~"

Musashi tilted his head back and took another big sip of the high-quality sake he had bought with Kojiro and Meowth's prize money.

"Hiccup~"

After a burp, Musashi's words and actions became more unruly.

"Anyone who doesn't even eat delicious barbecued meat must be crazy!"

"Eh?"

Although they were both women, and she knew that she was one of the engineers hired to upgrade the battle system...

But Taohua was obviously not used to Musashi's familiarity. Feeling the elastic touch on her cheek, she froze in place for a moment.

"Since you're not hungry, drink more - come on, drink more!"

Big sister Musashi "pulled" Taohua's head out of her chest, and then forcefully stuffed the wine bottle into Taohua's mouth.

“Mmm! Mmm! Gulp~ Gulp~”

In the blink of an eye, half a bottle of sake was poured into Taohua's little mouth.

With a clang sound.

The empty wine bottle fell to the ground.

"Ha ha……"

Taohua blushed and struggled to break free from Musashi's arms in a daze.

"Wow--Musashi! How come you drank all our wine!"

Kojiro, who was busy eating, looked up and found an empty wine bottle at Musashi's feet.

"That's super expensive premium sake, meow! It costs 50,000 yen a bottle!"

"You actually drank it all by yourself, meow—that's too much!"

Meowth jumped onto the dining table and shouted angrily at Musashi.

"Fifty thousand? It doesn't seem very high-end..."

Wang Yao picked up the wine bottle that had fallen to the ground and took a look at it.

"Oh... come to think of it, I have a few bottles of wine in my bag as well."

Wang Yao frowned and recalled.

Although he doesn't drink alcohol himself, he sometimes puts the alcohol he accidentally gets into his backpack.

"Coward, go look for it... I remember putting it in the empty space between the brush of the Charmeleon and the watering can of the Squirtle."

Wang Yao has a unique storage logic for his space backpack.

"Ji Ka~"

The coward who was threading the skewers wiped his hands on Pikachu's belly and stood up to get his backpack.

"Ayao, don't you not drink?"

Shizuka asked curiously.

"It was given to me by a friend... I couldn't refuse such a kind gesture, so I accepted it."

Wang Yao also likes to tell little lies sometimes.

Those wines were actually Sakaki's private collection.

When he was the acting gym leader, he bought too much Pokémon food and had no place to store it, so he had the underground wine cellar of the Viridian Gym cleared out.

And the miscellaneous things inside were also taken away.

It didn't take a while.

"Ji Ka~"

The coward returned to the barbecue stall holding a wine cabinet.

"Get whatever you want to drink."

Wang Yao looked at the dusty wooden cabinet with some disdain.

He never took care of it after putting it in his backpack, and didn't even clean the dust off it.

"Burp... can you drink it?"

Musashi casually pulled out a bottle of dark wine.

After wiping off the dirt on the bottle, a line of blurry cursive characters came into view.

"1945...Roman...what is this?"

Musashi asked drunkenly, turning the bottle.
