In his past life, Rez had studied gourmet food to some extent, frequently spending his spare time going on picnics and hosting barbecues with his friends.
Because of this, Rez believed his skewering and grilling skills were definitely top-tier.
He decided to take this golden opportunity to properly treat this cute and beautiful Apprentice Angel.
“We Saiyans have huge appetites.
It’s been over eight hours; are you really not hungry at all?” Rez asked with a warm smile.
“Ah?
I…
I ate some snacks earlier while you were training,” Mikasa replied flusteredly, instantly feeling like she had said the wrong thing.
Her delicate fingers began fidgeting with her combat suit again out of nervousness.
“A few snacks aren’t enough to fill you up.
I’ll make some roasted meat for you!” Rez chuckled, revealing a flash of white teeth.
“Roasted meat?” Mikasa was slightly taken aback, her bright blue eyes blinking in confusion.
“Just wait here!” After saying that, Rez immediately soared into the air.
His figure turned into a brilliant streak of light, quickly vanishing into the deepening night sky.
Mikasa stood where she was, staring in the direction he had disappeared for a long time without moving.
The gentle evening breeze blew through her hair, softly brushing the strands against her cheeks.
About ten minutes later, a streak of light cut across the horizon and rapidly approached.
Rez returned safely, carrying a small wild animal that resembled a goat in his hand.
The animal’s limbs hung limp, showing it was clearly dead.
It was twice the size of a normal sheep, making it more than enough for the two of them to enjoy a hearty meal together.
Rez landed firmly on the ground with a soft thud and tossed the prey onto a flat rock.
With a sharp snap of his fingers, Rez lightly raised his right hand.
A bright ball of flame condensed in his palm, which he quickly spread over the goat.
The intense flames licked the fur, making a loud sizzling sound as a burnt smell filled the surrounding air.
Then, Rez quickly skinned the goat with practiced, highly efficient movements.
He found a thick tree branch, skillfully skewered it through the goat’s mouth and out the tail, and mounted the entire animal onto the branch.
Next, Rez gathered some dry twigs, piled them into a simple campfire, and propped the skewered goat securely over it.
“Is this…
a One-Horned Goat?” Mikasa leaned in closer, looking at the skinned prey, and finally couldn’t help but whisper, “The meat of this animal doesn’t seem like it would taste very good.” Her tone held a slight hint of doubt, but it was mostly driven by pure curiosity.

Rez ignored her gentle skepticism, focusing intently on rotating the branch so the flames could evenly lick the mutton.
The fire danced wildly in the night, illuminating the area for several meters around.
Savory fat dripped onto the glowing embers, making a loud sizzling sound and sending up tiny, bright sparks.
When the goat was almost done, Rez pulled a small homemade cloth pouch from his pocket, opened it carefully, and evenly sprinkled the seasonings inside onto the sizzling meat.
The seasoning packet contained salt, MSG, Spicy Shell Powder, cumin, and other aromatic spices.
He had specially blended them when he had nothing else to do, since there were similar plants growing on Planet Vegeta, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Originally, Rez had wanted to use this delicious roasted meat to attract the attention of Whis and Lord Beerus.
As it turned out, Rez had roasted meat right at the palace gates for several days, but neither Whis nor Beerus ever showed up.
After that disappointment, Rez had no choice but to give up on the idea of being taken away by Whis, choosing instead to focus all his energy on increasing his own Ki.
He just hadn’t expected that these special seasonings would come in handy on an occasion like this.
Furthermore, although he hadn’t met Whis or Beerus yet, he had encountered an Apprentice Angel.
And this Apprentice Angel was a remarkably beautiful girl at that.
The exact moment the seasonings were sprinkled onto the One-Horned Goat, a powerful aroma of meat instantly wafted out.
The rich fragrance spread rapidly through the night wind, carrying the unique pungency of cumin and the charred aroma of perfectly cooked meat, blending into an incredibly mouth-watering scent.
Mikasa’s nose twitched slightly, and her blue eyes immediately lit up with joy.
The aroma seemed to have a life of its own, drifting directly into her nostrils with the night breeze and teasing her taste buds.
Her nostrils flared slightly, and her blue eyes sparkled with deep curiosity and anticipation.
Rez smiled warmly, tore off a prime piece of the goat meat, and held it out to Mikasa.
The meat was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with golden seasonings and still steaming slightly in the cool air.
The rich fat glistened enticingly in the bright firelight; a drop of hot oil slid slowly down the grain of the meat and fell onto the rock with a soft sizzle.
Mikasa took the goat meat, holding it gently in both hands as if it were some rare, priceless treasure.
She brought the meat up to her nose and took a gentle, appreciative sniff.
“It smells so good!” Mikasa smacked her lips, her beautiful blue eyes curving into happy crescents.
She lowered her head slightly and extended her pink tongue, taking a cautious, delicate lick.
In that instant, her eyes lit up completely.
Those blue eyes were like ignited stars, instantly bursting with brilliant, joyful light.
She froze for a moment, seemingly unable to believe her own taste buds.
Then, Mikasa took another small bite and began to savor it deeply.
She closed her eyes, her cheeks moving gently as an expression of immense enjoyment appeared on her face.
The warm firelight reflected off her pale cheeks, coating them in a lovely flush. The source of this chapter is g.com.
As the savory meat entered her mouth, Mikasa immediately felt the intense pleasure brought by her taste buds.
The complex flavors exploded in her mouth—the pungency of cumin, the rich savoriness of the meat, and the perfect saltiness of the seasonings blended together flawlessly, stimulating every single one of her taste buds.
“It’s so delicious!
I never thought you could make this animal’s meat taste so good!” Mikasa was both surprised and delighted, smacking her lips excitedly.
She took another big bite as she spoke, as if afraid of wasting even a tiny bit of this rare delicacy.
Rez smiled with deep satisfaction.
Truth be told, the way Mikasa ate the mutton was quite adorable.
She ate very earnestly, taking small bites with her cheeks puffing out happily.
Occasionally, she would suck the grease off her fingers, her blue eyes completely full of contentment.
The bright firelight reflected on her face, adding a touch of mundane warmth to her elegant features.
The whole roasted lamb was quickly devoured by the two of them.
Only a pile of clean-picked bones remained on the ground, without a single scrap of meat left behind.
Mikasa licked her lips, looking like she hadn’t had nearly enough.
Her blue eyes looked pitifully at the empty branch and then over at Rez; she clearly seemed to want more but was far too embarrassed to ask.
“Another one?” Rez asked with a knowing smile.
“Um…
okay…
yes.” Mikasa nodded vigorously, a bright smile blooming beautifully on her face, and then quickly thanked him, “Thank you!”
“No need to be so polite with me!
Just wait here a moment, I’ll be right back!” As Rez spoke, his figure blurred instantly and he vanished from the spot.
A streak of bright light flashed across the night sky and disappeared in an instant.
Mikasa stood there, looking in the direction he had vanished, a satisfied smile still lingering on the corners of her mouth.
She looked down at her grease-stained fingers, hesitated for a brief moment, but still couldn’t resist putting them in her mouth to suck on them.
Before long, Rez returned with another goat.
It was the exact same routine.
Removing the fur, skinning it cleanly, and propping it over the fire to roast.
The flames danced in the dark night, making a steady, crackling sound.
