Chapter 59: “After a Fight Comes Food, Right?”

“I’m so happy to have guests over today! It’s getting a bit crowded, but please make yourselves comfortable. Oh, do you know how to use chopsticks?”

“Thank you for your hospitality. We also use chopsticks back in my homeland, so there’s no problem.”

“Much appreciated. Your kindness is truly generous.”

At the Yura household, the usual round table had been put away—And in its place, a larger rectangular table had been set up for the guests.

A teppanyaki grill sat in the center, sizzling with food.

Freshly returned from the Miyahara household, Haruko smiled as she handed out heaping bowls of rice to Thor and Odin.

Needless to say, these weren’t just any guests. They were Thor, the God of Thunder—And Odin, the Chief God of Norse Mythology.

It all started after Thor had been sliced in half by Natsuki. 

Once healed by Odin—Thor had somehow shrugged off nearly dying and immediately declared: “That was a glorious battle! Natsuki and I are now friends! Let’s drink and feast!”

Natsuki had initially declined. His mom was going to be home soon, so he tried to say, “Maybe next time.”

But then—Thor pulled a massive slab of meat out of thin air. And just like that—the conversation took a turn.

“I bought some of Japan’s finest meat, thinking I’d share it with Natsuki… But it seems my plans have been ruined.”

What Thor casually placed on the table—was top-grade Japanese beef—the kind Natsuki had only ever seen in videos.

The moment he saw it—his growing teenage appetite kicked in.

Before he could stop himself, words escaped his mouth.

“Welcome to the Yura Household!”

And so—here they were.

When Natsuki’s mom got home—he had to quickly come up with an excuse. 

So he went with: “Uh—these two are a father and son who got lost while sightseeing in Japan, so I brought them home.”

It was a terrible explanation.

But his mom just smiled and welcomed them in.

Because of course, she did.

Apparently, Odin and Thor were staying at a hotel owned by some “associates” in Japan—

But when his mom heard that, she immediately said: “Well, since you’re here, why not stay for dinner?”

And just like that, they were all gathered around the table for a meal.

Satan and Jack had also returned home—Making the house even livelier than usual.

Since it was a rare occasion, Natsuki decided to call Kazuto, and after getting his mom’s permission, of course. 

Kazuto told him that his relatives had already gone home, so he was free to come over. Even his parents seemed grateful that Natsuki had invited him. And after exchanging pleasantries, they handed the phone to his mom for a quick chat. 

And with that—Kazuto was officially joining them for dinner.

“Alright then! Haruko-shan, great work today! Cheers!”

For some reason, Satan was the one leading the toast. 

Each person raised their glass—some with beer, others with oolong tea.  

The adults drank beer. Natsuki and Kazuto drank oolong tea.

The first thing to hit the grill was the beef that Thor had brought.

Someone mentioned “A5.” Natsuki—who had no idea what that meant tilted his head, wondering if they were talking about paper sizes.

But Ginko and Kazuto understood immediately.

They gulped audibly. This was top-tier beef. 

The kind that looked so good—You could probably eat it with your eyes alone.

Neither Natsuki, Kazuto, nor even Ginko had ever had steak cut this thick before.

This was pure luxury.

And the one cooking the meat was none other than Thor.

Dressed in stylish sportswear, the God of Thunder expertly handled the tongs, flipping the steaks with precision.

As expected from a Norse god. The man clearly knew how to handle meat.

Being the gentleman that he was—Thor served the first steak to Haruko, the lady of the house.

“Are you sure I should be the first?”

She looked a bit hesitant, but as soon as she took a bite, her face melted into pure bliss.

Next, he placed steaks in front of Natsuki and Kazuto. Then came Ginko, Koume, Jack, and Nancy. After that, he served Odin and Satan.

And finally he grilled his own.

“Itadakimasu!”

“Itadakimasu!”

Natsuki and Kazuto pressed their hands together in thanks toward Thor who grinned and said, “Eat as much as you want!”

They weren’t about to hold back.

There was steak sauce on the side, ready to be used—

But trying to act a little grown-up, Natsuki and Kazuto decided to take their first bite without any sauce.

“—!?!”

“Mmmmf!?”

The moment the meat touched their tongues—It melted.

A wave of rich sweetness spread through their mouths—so intense—it almost felt like they were kissing a cow.

“H-Holy crap, this is insane.”

“This is… too much luxury.”

Next, they tried it with just salt.

Somehow, the salt enhanced the meat’s natural sweetness even more.

Then they moved on to soy sauce and wasabi—and that was amazing too.

At this point, the meat was so good that it felt like no matter what they paired it with, it would taste incredible.

For the final touch, they tried the garlic-based steak sauce that Thor had whipped up on the spot.

And that was the best one yet.

No more words were needed—just pure culinary bliss.

Before they even realized it, both of them, who usually ate just one bowl of rice, had already gone for seconds.

“Aahhh—this pairs too damn well with beer!”

“Absolute perfection!”

Koume and Ginko skipped the rice entirely.

Their meal? Just meat and beer.

Meanwhile, Thor was back at the grill—cooking more meat, some vegetables, and then even more meat.

Every so often, he’d take a bite of his own steak, then wash it down with beer.

Odin and Satan were already on their second can of beer—and now, they had moved on to red wine. Natsuki’s mom was happily joining in on the drinks.

Jack and Nancy had never tasted beef this good before.

Eyes wide in awe, they suddenly muttered, “…We should start raising cattle back home.”

And just like that, they seemed to have made some kind of major life decision.

And so, as if the life-or-death battle from earlier had never even happened—
Dinner at the Yura household carried on as cheerfully as ever.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Susa-Susa: “…Wait. I just realized—I didn’t get to eat at Yura-san’s house.”

Tera-Tera: “HA! SUCKS TO BE YOU!”

Susa-Susa: “Yeah? Well, you’ve never had a meal with Kazuto either.”

Tera-Tera: “…Ugh.”
