After all, the island nation is just a small island country, and due to protectionist agricultural policies that restrict the import of agricultural products for fear of foreign products impacting the domestic market, vegetable prices there are relatively expensive.

Even for a wealthy family like the Matou Family, there weren't many vegetables in the refrigerator, certainly not enough for Chen Yu to prepare a lavish meal.

Chen Yu could only take out some vegetables he had grown in the Serenitea Pot, as well as Norbert's fresh rations—chickens raised in the Serenitea Pot—to make what looked like a rather generous dinner for Nyarlathotep.

Although there were eight dishes and one soup, it seemed like a lot.

But Chen Yu also knew that these few dishes wouldn't be enough to satisfy him, let alone Nyarlathotep.

However, eating is mainly about enjoying the taste; if it were truly about getting full, it would be better to take Nyarlathotep out to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

But if he really did take Nyarlathotep to an all-you-can-eat buffet for a big feast...

Chen Yu's own appetite alone would be enough to make the buffet owners speechless.

Perhaps they wouldn't just waive his and Nyarlathotep's buffet fees, but would also recommend them to the buffet restaurant across the street, sending them off like a plague god.

Not to mention bringing Nyarlathotep, a girl whose combat power is unknown and who gets stronger against stronger opponents.

Eating from Miyama Town in Fuyuki City all the way to Shinto, a day of that would definitely land them on the local catering association's blacklist, and might even make the news.

At this thought, Chen Yu chuckled.

He reined in his scattered thoughts, used the Levitation Charm to place the dishes on the living room dining table, and called Nyarlathotep and Matou Sakura, who were still watching TV, to come and sit down to eat.

"Wow, Darling, did you make all these delicious dishes?" Nyarlathotep's eyes lit up as she looked at the food on the table, wiped her mouth, eagerly picked up her chopsticks, and immediately grabbed a chicken wing to put in her mouth and savor.

"It tastes so good, and smells so fragrant."

Matou Sakura sat next to Matou Kariya, her demeanor unusually nervous and reserved.

Matou Sakura's hands were tightly clasped together on the table, seemingly calm, but the trembling between her fingers revealed her inner unease.

Her eyes occasionally darted over the surrounding food, then quickly returned to her own plate, as if searching for familiar comfort.

Her body was tense, like a fawn ready to flee at any moment.

There was no smile on Matou Sakura's face, only a rigid expression.

After a year of a closed heart, even knowing of Zouken Matou's death, she wouldn't immediately return to her former self.

However, a glimmer of spirit had appeared in her previously hollow and dim gaze; she occasionally secretly observed Chen Yu and Nyarlathotep's reactions, trying to find clues from their expressions to understand how she should behave.

Matou Sakura tried hard to integrate into this environment, which was relatively unfamiliar to her now, but her nervousness prevented her from relaxing.

Throughout the entire meal, Matou Sakura maintained this tense state.

Matou Sakura's movements seemed a bit clumsy and unnatural, which made one feel a pang of sympathy.

Seeing Matou Sakura, who still hadn't touched her chopsticks much, Chen Yu couldn't help but ask, "Sakura, you should eat something too. How can you not eat? Or is it that the food I made isn't to your liking?"

Hearing Chen Yu's question, Sakura's body trembled slightly, then she replied in a faint voice, "It tastes... it tastes good..."

Her voice revealed a lack of confidence and fear.

Nyarlathotep, seeing that Darling only asked Sakura and not her, pouted a little enviously, "Darling is biased, you didn't even ask if the food suited Nyarlathotep's taste."

After hearing Nyarlathotep's grumbling and seeing Nyarlathotep still eating heartily, Chen Yu said exasperatedly, "Looking at how you're wolfing it down, I don't think the food I made isn't to your liking. Nyarlathotep, when you eat, at least spit out the bones. Don't swallow everything, you're not a Pixiu that only takes in and doesn't let out, and chicken bones aren't tasty."

"Hmm? No, Darling made it very flavorful, even the chicken bones are delicious! And what's a Pixiu? Can it be eaten?"

Nyarlathotep continued to bite through an entire chicken leg, her clean, white teeth like a shredder, easily crushing the bones before swallowing them.

Matou Kariya gently stroked Sakura's hair to ease her tension and placed a few pieces of chicken in her bowl.

Seeing the familiar Kariya Uncle still by her side, Matou Sakura slowly began to relax, eating small mouthfuls of rice and quietly saying again, "Delicious..."

When Chen Yu called Nyarlathotep and Matou Sakura to eat, he hadn't turned off the living room television.

At this moment, the local news began to play on the television in the living room.

"On X day, X month, 1994, at X:X PM local time, the Hyatt Hotel, located in the bustling downtown area of Fuyuki City, suddenly experienced a violent gas explosion. The shockwave instantly leveled the hotel building, and surrounding structures were also affected and damaged to varying degrees, leaving the scene a chaotic and unbearable sight."

"According to preliminary investigations, the explosion occurred in the hotel's underground kitchen area, suspected to be caused by a gas pipeline leak. The powerful explosive force instantly destroyed the main structure of the hotel building, sending a large amount of construction debris and dust soaring into the sky. Surrounding buildings were also affected and damaged to varying degrees, leaving the scene a chaotic and unbearable sight."

"After the accident, fire, medical, and rescue departments quickly arrived at the scene to carry out rescue operations. Due to concerns about potential secondary disasters, relevant departments conducted an emergency evacuation and cordon of the surrounding area."

"After intense and orderly search and rescue operations, rescue personnel confirmed that no one was trapped or injured, which brought a sigh of relief to everyone present."

"However, during the process of confirming personnel safety, rescue personnel discovered that two distinguished guests were missing. They were in a hotel room at the time of the explosion and have since lost contact. Currently, relevant departments are making every effort to search for these two missing guests and are working to notify their families and diplomatic agencies."

"As a renowned five-star hotel, the Hyatt Hotel has always earned the trust of its customers with its high-quality service and safety guarantees."

"After this accident, the hotel stated that it will fully cooperate with relevant departments in the accident investigation and will promptly ascertain the cause of the accident to prevent similar incidents from happening again. At the same time, it will actively assist affected customers and employees, providing necessary help and support."

"Although the gas explosion at the Hyatt Hotel did not cause large-scale casualties, it sounded a safety alarm. Relevant departments remind the public to always pay attention to gas safety, regularly check gas pipelines and facilities, and ensure household safety."

"At the same time, it is hoped that all hotels and public places will strengthen safety management, improve safety awareness, and effectively protect the lives and property of their customers."

Hyatt Hotel?

Two distinguished guests?

The Hyatt Hotel that was bombed was the hotel where Kenneth resided, and the two missing distinguished guests, needless to say, were Kenneth and his fiancée.

Watching the rescue workers busy at the collapsed site of the Hyatt Hotel on TV, Chen Yu didn't think Kenneth and his fiancée would die in this explosion.

Perhaps it was because she had used Clairvoyance to survey the scene, or perhaps Chen Yu had previously ignored the building collapse.

Nyarlathotep directly used spatial power to summon the remote control from the sofa and pressed the channel change button.

After switching through more than a dozen TV channels and finding no interesting dramas, she tossed the remote control onto the table, treating the TV as a background, and while shoveling rice into her mouth, she listened to the TV commercials out of boredom.
