At this moment, Satou remembered that he still had a dried monster that he hadn't cooked yet, so he took out a shriveled object from the system space.
"I wonder what kind of monster will be cooked this time?"
Satou muttered to himself.
Satou used hot water to boil it, so the water boiled very quickly. After only a few minutes, the water in the pot was boiling, almost lifting the lid.
Then, a black, mushroom-like thing crawled out of the pot, opened its big mouth, and tried to swallow Satou.
Satou picked up the newly acquired Seven Star Knives Wenqu, and with just a gentle slice, he cut the monster in half.
The attack power of dried monsters was originally very low, and coupled with Satou's current body being much stronger than an ordinary person, he easily dealt with this dried monster.
Satou was about to study the monster when he saw his arm and was immediately stunned.
Because his arm was covered in dense scales.
"What's going on?"
Satou couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Due to frequent use of fantasy ingredients, the Host's dragon cell progress has reached five percent. This is a normal phenomenon."
The system explained.
"It's already five percent?"
Satou was a little surprised, but he felt his body and found that it was indeed much stronger than before.
"Can this make it disappear?"
Satou asked, having scales on his arm made him feel strange.
"Yes."
The system said.
Satou thought, and sure enough, the scales on his arm disappeared.
He breathed a sigh of relief before beginning to study the dead monster.
"What kind of monster is this?"
He asked.
"Dried Monster: Black Tengu Mushroom
Ingredient Level: B-rank
Ingredient Description: A type of dried monster, exceptionally delicious, a precious ingredient.
Origin: Inuyasha."
"Such a large mushroom, it can be eaten for a long time, right?"
Satou put away the mushroom, which was the size of two people. This was a good thing; many dishes used mushrooms as an ingredient.
After returning to his Apartment, Tohru and Kanna had already finished eating.
Kanna was lying on the balcony, watching elementary school students go to school on the road, her light blue pupils sparkling.
"What is Kanna doing?"
Satou couldn't help but ask curiously. Recently, Kanna always lay on the balcony watching others go to school. "Does she want to go too?"
"Oh, Kanna? Probably."
Tohru, who was washing dishes, nodded and said with a smile, "Many dragons have had such thoughts when they were young, I can understand."
"Hmm? Tohru, do you know?"
Satou asked curiously.
"Eh? Aren't we talking about the human extinction plan? Many dragons had such thoughts when they were young."
Tohru spread her hands and said, "It's like when human children see an ant nest, they all want to pee on it."
Satou: "…"
"I was talking about going to school."
He explained.
"Oh, going to school, I see."
Tohru nodded and said, "I saw it online."
"Online?"
Satou was speechless again. Tohru was really good at learning, a dragon who could use the internet.
Satou felt a bit sorry for Kanna, so he walked over and asked, "Kanna."
Kanna turned her head and asked, "Satou, what's wrong?"
"Do you want to go to school?"
Satou asked.
Kanna's eyes immediately sparkled, and her tail behind her also perked up as she nodded.
He had no classes that afternoon, so Satou returned to the Apartment early, then took Tohru and Kanna to buy school supplies.
"Faster, Satou, faster."
Kanna pulled Satou's clothes, walking impatiently ahead.
It seemed she was really eager to go to school.
"Eh? Do you need so many things for school?"
Satou looked at the densely packed items on the list and asked.
"Hmm, I feel like the school and related suppliers must have some unspeakable relationship."
Tohru posed like a famous detective and said triumphantly, "There must be a conspiracy here."
Satou immediately gasped, thinking of schools and suppliers in China. Could even Tohru, this simple-minded dragon, guess the truth?
"Then let's go buy pens first!"
Tohru said excitedly, then led Satou and the others to a pet store.
"I say, Tohru, why did you bring us here?"
Satou thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what a pet store had to do with a one-yen pen.
"Huh? Aren't pens made from bird feathers?"
Tohru asked strangely, pointing at the parrot in the store.
Satou was speechless and then led the two dragons to a stationery store.
Seeing the dazzling array of beautiful toys in the store, Kanna's eyes lit up, feeling as if her whole being—no, her whole dragon self—was glowing.
"Satou, what is this?"
Kanna held a ballpoint pen and asked like a curious baby.
"This is a pen; it can be used for writing," Satou said.
"Oh! How amazing!"
Kanna exclaimed, then picked up a stapler. "Satou, what is this thing that looks like a dragon's mouth?"
"This is a stapler," Satou said, demonstrating its use.
"What a terrifying torture tool," Tohru said with lingering fear.
Satou was speechless again; Tohru's thought process was truly extraordinary.
"Satou, what about this one!" Kanna asked, holding a stamp.
"I know this one!"
Tohru eagerly answered, "This is for marking slaves, to declare ownership."
Speaking of which, she suddenly remembered something and quickly revealed her smooth back, exclaiming, "Satou, hurry and carve my mark!"
People nearby looked over in surprise.
Satou: "…"
He felt that Tohru had a bit of a masochistic tendency.
Not far away, Yusa Emi was stealthily hiding behind a bookshelf, her expression solemn.
She had left work early that day and happened to encounter Satou, overheard him talking about going to school, and quickly followed him.
"Damn it, is the Demon King sending his Dragon to infiltrate the school for some conspiracy? Is he planning to kidnap elementary school students or blow up the school?"
Yusa Emi gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "It's truly too evil; I knew the Demon King wouldn't have good intentions!"
Next, Satou and the others went to purchase other items.
After finishing their shopping, Kanna could officially start school.
