A piece of cake! - (Ichiba/Ichiba Invite)

    While you brought yourself to lift up this cat like figure, you would easily feel its fluffy body starting to let out a enticing purr.
Bringing its big paws upwards to your face, almost as if trying to paw towards your face.
Its claws simply retracted to show you how comfortable she was, unwilling to even attack you.
Its rough tongue starting to try and travel over your torso to your face, slobber going everywhere!
Yet from the sights of Ayumu, the one who had a mere 0 as his Power level you would see him happily move behind his counter while patting at the bar counter, a small wooden part sticking out as the chairs were able to be pulled out of the bottom of the counter to be sat upon!

"What would you like to eat? We have a rather interesting collection of recipes!
From large collections of meat, to large plates of vegetables along with a embrace from our store pet, Akela!"

    Pointing towards the tiger who simply let out a rather gentle roar, it sounded more alike a cat its meow, while the habits from this tiger soon became rather obvious to be cat like, its race even being something akin to a massively inflated black house cat.
A green sphere on its forehead gave away a rather weak power level, yet it was rather soon obvious that the creature would be something akin to something beyond a normal cat.
Easily able to understand the reactions from the humanoid infront of you.

"Hana, please gather a bowl from the back"

    Ayumu quickly responded, as she let out a simple sigh and ran towards the back to lift up this massive bowl holding black cracker like objects that easily would outsize one person their hand.
The scent coming from them resembling autumn, a heavy hitting scent of flowers and plants in their dying phase while it softly crumbled in a person their hand, the crumbs starting to release the scent hidden within them when they started to fragment.
The bowl full of pieces all smelling either like chocolate, vanilla or caramell as it seemed a rather healthy snack.
Hana simply bowing infront of you, her outfit from a normal dressing code to a strangely well placed maid outfit, the skirt on the bottom easily reaching to the bottom of the floor as she never tripped over it atleast once.

"Please enjoy yourself as i will listen to any recipe you can call up in your mind and bring them forth, but please be warned that the cook of this establishment has often managed to make a saiyan known for consuming entire galaxies give up within a mere five dishes.
His recipes are heavy handed and often a burst of flavours, so i would advice anything you would like yourself, he has the materials for most recipes.
Apart from kaviar and lobster, we are not as rich as the upper rank workers, we are here to feed people for free as a dream, so please"

    Bowing infront of you, simply giving you a kind smile.

    As you gazed on their appearances, the humanoid male with the tempered body, like a fine blade, yet using it for something like cooking you could only see it as a way to resist the temptations that his age bring, constantly burning into his heart.
Constantly creating a step closer to death as he wishes to bring himself further and further into the darkness that is survival.
Yet the woman looked more like a simple human girl, a young and untouched appearance as she simply smiled kindly and brought herself to work hard infront of this man, constantly helping herself to do her one hundred percent.

"Hey! Instead of asking for more, take one of these fine slabs of dried meat!"

    The meat seemed nothing alike dried meat upon closer inspection, a small thick liquid on the bottom constantly giving out a sharp scent of peppers, finely mashed peppers along with a mixture of nuts slowly wafting up as the dried meat were small figures of animals sliced in correct forms.
The cat one smelled like spring, the scent of vanilla also slowly wafting up from it, A dog one smelling like chocolate, a summer like scent coming up from them, every single animal in this bowl was brought forwards with a scent of a season, a moment, a location, hundreds of them mingling together.

    Yet what brought the biggest reaction, was your shout, your shout at the humanoid to get the biggest meal of meat completely threw him off from his work as he simply started to laugh outloudly, awaiting the reaction of his comrades, as the tiger started to turn around, letting out soft yelps before turning around to run back, going to stare you in the eyes before hugging you with its large paws, its large song starting to softly make its way over your face if you allowed it too.
Hana herself simply turned around with a chuckle and nodded towards Ayumu, even hearing your last challenge it made things even more known to them.

"Ayumu, bring out the big guns, it is time to show this punk what you are made out of"

    With a firm nod, you could easily see that the gaze of peacefullness on Ayumu his face turned akin to something warrior like, a cook his passion burning brightly in his eyes while going to the back and opening a large wooden crate filled with ice, a large chunk of meat coming out along with a whole assortion of multiple pieces of meat, you started to lose count after the first fifteen pieces but as they were all laid out before you he started to pull out a small hammer and beating upon it rather powerfully, small waves travelling through the meat while he simply started to ask you.

"You seem kind of shocked to see a creature such as our store's cat, but please do not be worried too much.
We have brought this cat from a big fight in the past and have raised it to be pretty nice, yet sadly it seems to forget that at points its not capable of eating as much as it could in the past and tends to grow a bit too fast lately.
It used to be a cat just the size of any normal cat before it completely seemingly changed forms into a beast along the lines of a tiger, with its mighty claws and fangs in the human nature, yet even now it never stops growing and brings itself further and further"

    Simply cutting off a piece of fish, Ayumu tossed it towards the creature, slowly rotating in the air, the tiger raised its head, opening its maw and a long row of teeth sunk into the piece of fish easily outsizing a whole fist.
With loud chomping sounds and a low purring sound soon starting to increase in volume, from a simple purr to something loud and audible while its body trembled in the delight of eating such fresh fish, you would see Hana trying to reach out her hand over the counter but sadly not being able to reach it, turning her body while making her way across the wooden flooring, a few pieces creaking and another few breaking out of the flooring and falling onto the ground below with a nasty splat making you just realize how much damage they were hiding before the multitude of pieces of meat that were brought onto the plate started to create a festive hopping sound, multiple small pellets of fat starting to jump up like a light show before he started to cut into them under the intense heat, his hands simply taking the heat and slowly accumalating small burns on his hands.
Honey and herbs starting to be smeared out on some slices of meat while other slices of meat were covered in brown sauces, black sauces, green sauces.
The amount of scents that were starting to mingle and be brought out started to give a reassuring air to the entire place before you would be faced with a sudden calamity.
A realization of the current order you had made was being displayed infront of you, the flooring of the thing he was constructing, was rather insane, the meat that was cooked a beautifull brown, green and darker green started to be collected around the outside of this plate that was a metre in width, like a summer forest, yet the middle looked extremely lonely, almost empty before his hands started to get to work.
A small house being build up from the foundations, a wooden house in its purest image resembling the houses of many children living in the mountains, the scent of meat being drowned out by the hundreds of herbs he had to apply as the trees had their scents of the summer, the nature while the house continued to smell like human civilization, like a fresh water pool, like freedom.
Instead of the usual mindset of thinking that every house was a cage that we resided in, he brought himself to show a house that was seen as a beautifull opening to the heart that people brought themselves up within.
Almost like telling a story, you could just imagine the potential of a child in such a situation, in such a area of bringing itself to grow up in such beautifull freedom.

"So please, you seem so fresh yet at the same time the way your body is build i am not able to guess that you are somebody that is rather new.
Could you please be so kind to tell me, this old man who believes that you, the one who is able to sit here with such pride, without a single worry in the world.
Without bringing yourself down to the level of somebody who steals, yet constantly pushes itself to forcibly train and get stronger, are doing in a place like this?
Truely your story must be great, as such i believe in you"

    Ayumu spoke, his emotions gave a kind fatherly sense of the word, a complete sense of laying his weapons and trust down were conveyed via them before he simply started to wash his hands on a strange stone like apparatus generating fresh water before via a pipe it was carried to the outside and made into a thick cloud of water.
The body language he brought forwards was like a flowing river, as if he had done this a multitude of times, with the sweat on his body showing how much of a challenge everything would have been to handle this so smoothly and flawlessly.
Wanting to convey the truest image he had in his mind upon seeing you like a open plains, a potential that was untapped, something that he would have never found in the body of somebody like him.
Seeing so many great talents, seeing so many powerfull beings on this planet, he could only bring himself to let out a kind smile, a smile that had gone through the burning hell itself while slowly bandaging his hands for the goal of giving you something you truely deserved.
A meal that was akin to not what you radiated on the outside, but what you radiated on the inside, the inner beauty that he had laid bare.
Suddenly giving this entire scenario brought before you a diffrent take, a take of somebody who wanted to show you that a bit of hard work never hurts, to never give up, to always continue striving forwards, but at the same time it may be thinking too deeply into it while he started to lean backwards and just let his behind slump down onto the chair.
His ragged breathing instantly showing his exhaustion, still staring at your eyes, waiting for your story, why your here and what your future may be, as you had a old man who was able to listen to you like a friend, somebody you could consider a comrade.
