Are these things... edible?

When Mr. Blois saw the "delicious food" brought out by Willie, he suddenly had many questions in his mind. Because what was before him at this moment obviously did not belong to any type of food he had tasted in the past.

It is said to be a vegetable salad, but there are no serious "vegetables" in it. Mr. Blois can recognize some of the plants, but... for example, shrunken figs are often used to refine slimming potions.

Can it really be used as food?

But it's not a vegetable salad... At first glance, the flowers are all the roots, stems, leaves and flowers of plants, with a little suspicious earthy yellow sauce mixed in. Although it looks like a pot of soil mixed with

Herbs, but if you have to give it a name...then probably call it "vegetable salad".

But of course, this is the first time that his daughter has cooked something for himself. Even if it seems difficult to eat, he will not really say the words "Can it be eaten?"

"Oh! I... I'll try it!" Blois smiled, "This big basin is really generous."

"Well, because I found a lot of wild herbs in the mountains behind, and there are a lot of them here." Willy said, and suddenly waved the wand, and saw a filled with herbs floating out of the door behind.

He picked up a large basket of various herbs and said, "If it's not enough, you can add more."

"Enough is enough, absolutely enough!"

Blois said, quickly picked up the fork placed in the basin, forked a bunch of "herb salad" and stuffed it into his mouth. Soon, there was a "crunching" chewing sound in his mouth.

Perhaps because the earth-colored sauce was too weird, he deliberately avoided some of it and only tried to taste the herbs without sauce.

"Wait... wait," before he could taste anything, he suddenly twisted his mouth and asked vaguely, "Willy... there seems to be something moving in here?"

"That must be mandrake," Willy nodded matter-of-factly, "It's raw, so it can move - this can increase the taste."

"Yes, really? It's really interesting."

How should I put it? At the moment, Mr. Blois has a mixed feeling in his mouth and in his heart. The extremely complex taste and the truly "lively" texture make him only use the word "interesting"

I can barely describe it.

Fortunately, until then, his savior finally came.

"Well, is it time for dinner already? It seems we came out just in time."

Upon hearing this, Blois stood up quickly, and the fork in his hand was temporarily put back into the basin filled with herbal salad without leaving a trace.

"Mr. McClain... I have figured it out in the past few days." He said seriously towards Maka who walked out of the door, "So, I think I must apologize to you for my previous rudeness.

Sorry."

"No, no, no, it doesn't have to be like this," Maka waved her hand and walked over with Sarah, "You are Willy's father, my elder - oh, did you put a lot of shrunken figs today?

Yes, it goes best with liquid grass root sauce.”

"I know you like it," Willy said immediately, "You and dad eat together first, and then I'll make some."

Before she finished speaking, she carried the basket and walked back again, and soon disappeared into the doorway. Only now did Blois dare to say:

"McLean, is this... really okay to eat?"

"Well, of course it's no problem." Maka and Sara sat down next to him and said with a smile, "I know, this thing doesn't seem to arouse people's appetite, but it actually tastes pretty good -

I prepared the sauce. And please don’t worry, Wei Li is already very accomplished in herbal medicine, and her combinations will not only cause no problems, but are actually good for the body.”

Just as he was speaking, he looked at Blois's expression again, and then said immediately:

"Oh! I guess you haven't tasted it with sauce, right? Don't worry, the liquid grass roots have a very strong milk flavor, which is very suitable for making salad dressings... Believe me, I'm from Hogwarts.

Being born in Hufflepuff, I definitely have no problem with my taste in food."

Listening to what he said, Blois couldn't help but subtly pick out a brown piece that was still twisting, looked at the vibrant appearance on the fork and said:

"What about this... mandrake?"

"This was Willie's idea. She seems to like the feeling of them beating in her mouth," Maka shrugged. "I heard that Muggles also eat octopuses alive, probably just to taste this wonderful feeling!

"

After that, he also picked up a large pile of grass leaves with sauce and stuffed them into his mouth, crunching and chewing them.

"Hmm... shriveled figs... not bad, Sarah, you should try them too."

…

While Maka and the others were eating grass "happily" outside, Ursula, who was lying on the bed, was facing a very huge decision for her.

Just now, Maka had moved the stone jar that was originally placed in Sarah's room to her side.

At the moment, Ursula was looking at it silently - looking at the dark green liquid swaying slightly in this coffin-like tank, her heart was filled with hesitation.

The Miss Hohenheim had just shown her the "thing" inside alone - it was a smooth and smooth body of a girl. Judging from the appearance, it seemed that there were still some faint shadows of her childhood.

.

Yes, that is the new body made specially for her.

Of course, she has been as ugly as she is now for more than ten years. If she had not been severely burned by the magic flame, she could not even imagine what she would look like now, so naturally she could not get it.

I wonder if the body in the tank looks like it has not been injured.

"No... that lady specially took some flesh and blood from me in order to make this body. Maybe... that is really what I look like now."

Ursula muttered in a daze, and at the end, she couldn't help but sigh.

"...It's so beautiful!"

Complimenting one's own beauty might make people feel a little shameless if it were said by others. But now that what happened to Ursula, it made her feel even more pitiable.

After a long while, she moved her eyes away slightly, raised her head and looked at the dark ceiling and said:

"This is really a tempting gift. If there was no Safina in the middle, I would have been unable to bear any of his requests on the spot, right?"

Whether in the Muggle world or the magical world, one's own appearance is undoubtedly one of the things that women care about most, and even Ursula is no exception.
