I am Hunter! Why Do I Need to Be Popular? 39 Special Ingredients (Patreon)

Yuuki went back directly to his home while bringing such a large chicken in the sky. He flew slowly since he wanted to increase his popularity. He knew tomorrow people would know about him, the hunter who hunted down this chicken monster. He also became popular when he brought this chicken in the sky since he would become the center of attention. 

Yuuki arrived at his home and he could see both Hina and Kaoruko. 

"Oi-tan! Welcome home!" Hina waved her hand very hard. 

Yuuki landed slowly and opened his arms since the little girl in front of him jumped into his arms, "Oh, I am home." 

Hina looked at the giant chicken curiously, "What is this, Oi-tan?" 

"This is Cockatrice, I will cook it later," Yuuki said. 

"Really? Is it good?" Hina looked curious. 

"Of course, it is delicious," Yuuki said. 

Hina became excited and wanted to eat it now, "Let's eat it, Oi-tan!" 

Yuuki shook his head, "Let's wait for both Miu and Sora to go home." 

Hina suddenly realized and said, "Yes, we will wait for both Miu-Onee-chan and Sora-Onee-chan." 

Yuuki looked at this little glutton then he looked at this beautiful woman in front of him, "I am home." 

"I thought, you will ignore me earlier," Kaoruko showed a distressed expression. She wanted to know how he would react when he saw her in this 

Yuuki looked at her for a bit and told her to get closer, "Kaoruko, I have something to tell you." 

Kaoruko changed her expression and nodded, "What's wrong?" 

Yuuki let Hina go down since she was very curious about this Cockatrice. He told Kaoruko to get closer and told her what was happening earlier in the Hunter Association. 

Kaoruko who heard his story twitched her lips since she had never thought that he would get the targeted woman easily. She was actually quite amazed since he had become a fiance of Toyomi. She felt quite uncomfortable but she ignored this feeling. 

Yuuki also told her that he had met the family of Yukinoshita and helped them during the outbreak dungeon.

Kaoruko nodded, "You can start with both of them at the same time." 

Yuuki smiled bitterly at her who only thought about her research. He had thought that she would show some jealous expression or something. He didn't feel satisfied since he didn't get what he wanted. He looked at Hina who was looking at a monster and touched it curiously. He nodded and said, "Kaoruko, can you close your eyes for a bit?" 

Kaoruko felt weird but she followed his request. 

Yuuki looked at her beautiful face and kissed her on her lips. 

Kaoruko opened her eyes in surprise and looked at the sideways. She sighed in relief when she saw Hina didn't notice them kissing each other. She didn't know why but she felt relieved when he kissed her. 

Both of them kissed each other for a bit until they heard Hina's voice. 

"Oi-tan, can you prepare it now? We can eat it the right way when both Onee-chan is coming home!!" Hina said while hugging his leg. She looked like a cute squirrel while making her cheeks bigger. 

Yuuki smiled and patted her head, "Sure, I will prepare it now, you can wait in a home." 

"Noo!! Hina wants to see you cooking this big chicken!" Hina said with a smile. 

"Sure," Yuuki nodded and looked at Kaoruko, "Kaoruko, can you take care of her?" 

Kaoruko nodded, "Come here, Hina is it dangerous there." She sat near the chair and Hina also sat on her lap. 

Both of them were curious to see him prepared this giant chicken. 

Yuuki looked at the Cockatrice and touched its body for a bit, 'It is tough.' He could only feel a muscle inside its body and knew that he needed to do something to make it softer. He knew if he only cooked it directly his nieces and Kaourko wouldn't be able to eat it directly. He remembered this was called special ingredients where there was a necessary process to make this thing become delicious. 

Yuuki didn't directly process this ingredient but observed it for a full 10 minutes until he felt there was something that was trying to tell him the method to prepare this ingredient. He took out his metal bat and bashed it toward the body of Cockatrice. 

Baam! Baam! Baam!

Yuuki didn't use his gravity power and only using his muscle strength but it was already very powerful. He smacked his bat in every part of the body of this big chicken until he saw the change in its body. He saw clearly that the tough muscle on this chicken started to get softer with each of his bashings. 

Yuuki kept bashing his bat for the full 10 minutes until he saw the Cockatrice make a relaxed expression on its face. He twitched his lips and thought this chicken made him massage its entire body but he didn't mind since he knew it would make this chicken more delicious. He looked at thick feathers and used his gravity manipulation to pull its feathers at the same time. 

Yuuki also lifted the Cockatrice body in the sky using his gravity manipulation. He took out his kitchen knife and took a deep breath. He imagined himself cutting this chicken in several parts but he knew there were special parts in this big chicken, especially, the tail. 

His instinct told him that he needed to cut the tail first. He opened his eyes and in an instant, he cut the Cockatrice in several parts, tail, feet, thighs, wings, breasts, and neck and head. 

Yuuki looked at it with a satisfied expression and could see the luscious meat that wouldn't lose to the meat he had hunted from mammoth in the past.
