Because of the relationship that Uesugi Maki can talk to, Kamiyo Natsuki, with the help of Uesugi Maki, finally cleaned the vegetables in the pot.

As for Aoba, the vegetables were cleaned at the same time, so the three of them returned to the table with the washed greens to the people who were marinating the meat and preparing the sauce.

"Aoba-kun, have the vegetables been cleaned?" Although Sanwang Natsu was talking to Aoba in his mouth, his eyes were looking at Kamiyo Natsuki, who made the three people in charge of cleaning the vegetables the Kamidai Nazuki the most uneasy for her.

"Okay, Sister Xia, let's check it!" Shen Dai Natsuki seemed to know that Sanwang Xia was not at ease with her, so he generously put a pot of vegetables he was holding on the ground and motioned for Sanwang Xia to check.

"Yes, yes, yes. "Naturally, Sanwang Xia will not only check the vegetables cleaned by Kamidai Natsuki, wouldn't that be as obvious as believing her, so Sanwang Natsuki looked through all the vegetables cleaned by the three people, of course, the focus is on the part that Kamidai Natsuki is responsible for, and at the same time he kept nodding while checking.

"How's it going? I'm doing a good job, right?" said Kamiyo Natsuki as she listened to the mountain king's constant compliments, and said a little triumphantly.

"It's really good, it's a great job!" said Sanwang Xia without hesitating praise at all.

Suddenly, Kamiyo Natsuki was happy, as if it was a proud thing to be praised by the mountain king Natsu.

"Sister Xia, can you start eating barbecue?" However, Kamiyo Natsuki still did not forget that eating meat was her main purpose, and immediately asked.

"The meat has been marinated for a while, and I think it's ready to start. Mountain King Xia looked at the time and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, it's a barbecue. Kamidai Natsuki suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Eat the barbecue, eat the barbecue. The three little guys who were sitting by the fire next to them were eating the fish they had just grilled, and when they heard Kamiyo Natsuki's words, they immediately cheered.

"Alright, okay, don't make a fuss. It's time to eat a barbecue. Aoba came to the fire with a large pot of marinated meat.

Next to the fire is a charcoal barbecue, and the marinated barbecue meat naturally cannot be grilled directly on the fire, so you need to use a barbecue grill.

However, the fire is not useless, for example, several grilled fish wearing iron tongs are sitting on the fire at this time, and they are using the fire, that is, the bonfire is slowly roasting.

Different ingredients can be prepared in different ways, and different flavors can be obtained.

Grilled fish on a campfire may not taste as good as meat grilled on a barbecue, and may even be more delicious.

However, on the battlefield, Hara Mai and Shi Yu, as well as Xiao Hinata, were not hungry in the first place. At this time, it is more just the eyes of the little guy who is driven by curiosity and feeling fun, and the grilled fish that has been eaten several times by himself is naturally not as attractive as the barbecue that has not yet started to be grilled.

So the three little guys threw down the grilled fish in their hands for the first time, gathered in front of the barbecue grill, and stared at the barbecue grill with bright eyes.

"Brother, brother, can you start the barbecue now? can you eat it right away?" asked Battlefield Hara Mai with a look of impatience.

"Well, I'm going to ask you Sister Liangfeng about this, after all, she is the chef. Aoba shrugged and moved out of the way of the barbecue. At the same time, he said to the cool breeze of Longzoji Temple, who immediately filled the position, "Longzoji classmate, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

"It's okay, I just don't like wasting precious ingredients. The cool breeze of the Dragon Temple replied lightly.

Are you wasting ingredients by me asking us to take care of the barbecue?Aoba wanted to ask, but finally shrugged his shoulders. I found a place to sit next to it.

And the cool breeze of Longzoji Temple was eagerly realized by the three little guys, and the barbecue began.

At the same time, the rest of the crowd came to the campfire and the charcoal grill and sat down in a circle.

Crates of cold beer that had just been brought out of the freezer not far away were placed in the crowd. It's winter, but because it's located in the southernmost part of Japan, the temperature is low. But it's not so unbearable as it gets.

In addition, everyone is not an ordinary person, so drinking beer naturally has to be chilled to taste the most.

In this way, when the cool breeze of Ryuzoji Temple was concentrating on the barbecue, everyone, including Aoba, except for the three little guys, was already holding beer in their hands and held it high.

"Everyone, it's a kind of fate that we can gather together today, let's have a toast first. Mountain King Xia said first.

"Oh, cheers. The crowd then chimed in.

Immediately, a can of beer went down one after another.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, you look at me, I look at you, but the atmosphere became warm.

"Come, let's try the fish that Mai-chan, Shiyu-chan and Kohinata caught first, how does it taste? Sister Maki, you can taste it first!" Sanwang Natsute picked up a fish that had been roasted and was almost the same, but he was the first to hand it to Uesugi Maki and said.

"Hey, shall I try it? Then I'm welcome. Uesugi Maki looked at everyone in surprise, but saw that everyone looked like they were taken for granted, so it was hard to shirk it, so he had to take it over.

As for why Sanwang Natsu gave the fish to Uesugi Maki first, isn't it obvious, who made her Aoba's sister, although it's just a cousin.

In this way, Uesugi Maki ate the first bite of fish under the unusually nervous gaze of everyone, especially the three little ones.

"Sister Maki, how does it taste?" asked Battlefield Hara nervously, as if if Uesugi Maki said it was delicious, then she who was in charge of catching fish would also be as honorable.

Although it is a very childish idea, but looking at Shi Yu and Xiao Hinata who are completely as nervous as her, everyone can only sigh that children are children.

"Well, it's very delicious, the fish is very tender, it's a great fish. Uesugi Maki took a bite of fish in his mouth and kept nodding his head and said.

Suddenly, the three little guys of the battlefield, Hara Mai and Shiyu, as well as Xiao Hinata, said, "Oh." cheered, even the always cold Shi Yu, the painting style brought by the other two little guys was about to be abnormal.

"Let's eat it too, don't just eat it alone!" Maki Uesugi began to urge everyone to eat it together after tasting a bite of the fish.

"That's right, let's all try it and see what the fish the three of them caught tasted like. "Sanno Natsu kept handing out the fish that had been grilled to everyone. While looking at the battlefield, the original dance and Shi Yu, as well as the three little guys of Hinata and Xiaohinata.

"Well, I'll try it too, how the fish you caught tasted. Aoba also picked up a grilled fish, not mentioning that the first few fish were caught by himself, and began to eat them.

Immediately, in the expectant eyes of the three little guys, they nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, yes, it tastes delicious!" Aoba said appreciatively.

"It's really delicious, Mai-chan, Shiyu-chan and Hinata-chan, you're amazing. Cat Youya ate the fish with bright eyes, and kept nodding and complimenting.

"Ryuzoji classmate. Let's try it too!" Sanno Natsu didn't forget to hand the grilled fish to Ryuzoji Cool Breeze, who was grilling the meat.

"It tasted ok, good. After tasting a bite of the fish, the cool breeze of Longzoji Temple said with an expression on his face unchanged.

The rest of the people are naturally the same, a stack of praises, maybe there will be a gap in everyone's taste, but at this time, they will not hit a few children.

In this way, the three little guys of Battlefield Yuan Mai and Shi Yu and Xiao Hinata are getting bigger and bigger with everyone's praise.

However, at this moment, the cool breeze of Ryuzoji Temple, who was in charge of the barbecue. The first portion of roast beef was also grilled.

"Beef roasted. The cool breeze of the Ryuzoji Temple said in a faint voice as always.

"Meat. Battlefield Dance shouted.

"There's meat!" Shi Yu shouted.

"It's roast beef!" shouted Hinata.

The attention of the three little ones was completely focused on the freshly roasted meat for the first time.

"Is it baked? Then give it to these three guys first, let them eat it first!" Aoba said aloud.

Naturally, everyone will not have an opinion, because everyone is drinking and eating fish.

For an adult, this is when the wine is the most important. Although it is also important to eat as an accompaniment to drinking, it doesn't matter if you have fish to eat and meat to eat right away, so it doesn't matter if you eat it early or late.

Only children hurriedly saw the roasted beef. I couldn't help but want to stuff it in my mouth immediately.

And just like that, the freshly roasted beef became the trophy of the three little ones.

However, this did not affect everyone's continued conversation and laughter at all, and at the same time, the cool breeze of Longzoji Temple also continued to roast meat. Soon everyone also had a barbecue together.

"It's a blessing to just sit by the river, drinking beer and eating barbecue. Kamishiro Natsuki picked up a large piece of chopsticks and meat, put it in her mouth and refused, and finally didn't forget to pour another sip of beer.

"Yes, yes, eating meat and drinking wine, this is the bliss of life! Natsuki-chan, you know it too!" After a few cans of beer, Uesugi Maki began to become more enthusiastic, pulling everyone to drink, and laughing from time to time.

"But I still prefer fish to meat. Holding a grilled fish and still gnawing on the cat, Mei Yi said.

"Don't you think there are a lot of fish bones?" "Mountain King Xia looked at the cat and Mei Yi in confusion, obviously she didn't like the feeling of peeling fish bones a little bit.

"No, if you want to eat the fish bones, you can eat them directly. "Who knows that the cat and Mei Yi don't care at all.

"The body of the bud sauce is a cat, so naturally she likes to eat fish, and even if there are fish bones, it won't hurt her! What makes me even more strange is that fish bones can't hurt you Natsu, right? Wouldn't it be nice to eat it directly?" Aoba looked at the mountain king Xia puzzled.

That's right, with the strength of the mountain king Xia too much, it is impossible to cause harm to her at all.

"Wouldn't it be very ungraceful to eat the fish bones directly. Who knew that the mountain king Xia was white, and Qingye said with a glance.

"Well, the world of the eldest lady really doesn't understand. Aoba had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and said.

"Alright, everyone, let's continue drinking!" Uesugi asked, raising her glass.

"Okay, drink. Immediately, everyone raised their glasses and agreed, and another can of beer was in their stomachs.

And while everyone was talking and laughing, eating meat and drinking wine, the sun also crossed the sky, slowly setting towards the west, and was about to approach the horizon.

At this moment, the sunset filled the sky, and under this splendid scene, everyone was drinking wine and eating meat, laughing and chatting, or some boundless complaints, or some things that they wanted to do but did not do, and time passed quietly.

Until everyone found out, more and more people came out of the Zhegui Palace and the small town next to the Zhegui Palace, and then gathered near the river not far from Aoba and the others.

These people have psychic powers, onmyoji, all kinds of people with strange powers, and they also have a large number of youkai.

As more and more people gathered, bonfires were soon lit along the river, illuminating everything near the river on this evening when the sun was about to set.

Everyone even found out that someone brought Christmas trees one by one, erected them on the bank of the river, and began to decorate them.

"Ah, that's the Christmas tree?" shouted Battlefield Mai, who had already eaten his fill, but was still trying to stuff meat into his stomach, looking at the Christmas trees.

"Christmas tree? By the way, it's Christmas Eve! No wonder there are so many people, is this going to be a Christmas Eve event? It's just that I didn't expect that Christmas is also here in the Land of Trials?" Aoba said curiously.

However, except for Aoba and the battlefield original dance, Shi Yu and Xiao Hinata, one big three and four people, the rest of the people are you look at me, I see you are quite a little looking at each other.

After all, when they went to borrow barbecue tools before, they heard the nine-tailed demon fox say that they only wanted to spend Christmas temporarily.

I had the heart to explain it to Aoba, but before that, Sanwang Xia denied what happened when he went to borrow the barbecue tool, and he didn't say anything about the nine-tailed demon fox at all, so everyone didn't know how to explain it at all, because once it was explained, it would involve the matter of the nine-tailed demon fox.

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that about the nine-tailed demon fox is also in the land of trials, Aoba knows much earlier than them, and even the two of them drank together last night.

What I didn't know was that the nine-tailed demon fox had already met with them when they went to borrow barbecue tools today.

And just when everyone was silent, not knowing whether to say something about the nine-tailed demon fox, the crowd around them, like Aoba and others, who had lit a bonfire by the river, became more and more lively. (To be continued.) )
