I! Cleaner!-Chapter 752 - 687: Dinner Gathering

You were selected by all five Star Palaces simultaneously?!!!

Looking at the five palace patterns on Leon’s arm that were identical to her own... no! Clearly larger and brighter than hers, even attacking each other, the female Cleaner couldn’t help but open her mouth wider and wider, stammering:

"You...you this?"

"My secret technique talents are pretty good too, I was fortunate to gain the recognition of all five Star Palaces."

After a subtle boast, Leon said with a smile:

"However, although I got the chance to learn the Five Palace Secret Skills, like you saw at the board of Sagittarius, my situation is a bit special. I didn’t learn the secrets of Sagittarius and Taurus very well, in this respect, I’m somewhat inferior to you."

Ah...so it seems!

After hearing Leon’s humility, recalling the evaluation from the board of Sagittarius, the slightly wounded pride of the female Cleaner was slightly rekindled.

When I came here, the Director said I’m the most talented Cleaner he knows, there’s no second person who can compare to me... Well... even though Mr. Leon is very impressive too, maybe... should be... perhaps my talent is still better?

Not very confidently stealing a glance at Leon, the petite female Cleaner clenched her little fist tightly, encouraging herself, then straightened her spine and responded:

"No, no, you’re already very good!

Besides, the selection isn’t over yet. Even if Sagittarius, Pisces, and Aquarius aren’t suitable, there are still Cancer Palace and Aquarius Palace afterward. With the talent you’ve shown, you will certainly get recognition."

"..."

This kid... seems kind-hearted?

Seeing the female Cleaner trying to comfort him after being correctly ’Versailles’d, Leon couldn’t help but blink, then showed her a gentle smile.

"Well, I’ll take your good words, I hope you too..."

"You’re finally here!"

"?!!!"

Just as Leon was preparing to take this opportunity to close the distance and draw some intel, a huge hand suddenly reached down from the air, like catching mudfish from the pond, grabbed both fish tightly.

"Don’t worry, it’s me."

Greeting the alert-eyed Leon, the benevolent Cancer Director scooped Leon and the two from the pool and tossed them to the prepared table and chairs, then cheerfully invited:

"Sit down quickly, this dinner is just missing you two!"

Huh? Missing just the two of us?

Sitting down on a wooden chair, the shocked female Cleaner was about to question but couldn’t help but shudder, looking in horror at the near Cancer Director.

No reason, after grabbing Leon and the two Pisces together, the Cancer Director wearing a white chef hat swiftly swung the fish, knocking them out, and casually tossed them onto the wooden cutting board in front.

In the shocking gaze of the female Cleaner, the hollow-eyed Cancer Director tidied his apron, covering his greasy big belly, and light flicked the fillet knife into his hand from the knife rack.

Then, with a concentrated expression, he skillfully twirled the knife flowers, gently brushing along the fish belly, and the fish brought along automatically opened up their "arms."

Not only did they willingly bare their souls, they even further discarded their most "skeletal" parts, then followed the blade marks to self-disassemble, evenly lying on the board.

"How’s my knife work?"

Casually returning the fillet knife to the rack, looking at Leon stunned by his skills, the Cancer Director smiled and said:

"Before I joined the Clean-up Bureau, I was an excellent chef, barely considered a Master by others. In over a hundred years in the Clean-up Bureau, besides cleaning work, I didn’t let my chef skills drop.

Since Master Chels of the Kingdom of Orleson passed away thirty years ago, among all humans still alive, my chef skills should be the undisputed best. You are fortunate today." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Number one human culinary Master... indeed fitting with Cancer Palace’s [Abnormal Devouring].

After hearing the Cancer Director’s words, looking at the two plates of sashimi pushed before him, Leon couldn’t help but pick up a knife and fork expectantly.

"Swoosh!"

As the fork in Leon’s hand skewered a slice as thin as cicada wings, the texture subtly trembling sashimi, the metal cutting sound slicing through his body, directly into his ears via bone and flesh.

Then, Leon’s hands holding the knife and fork suddenly "blossomed" like a blood flesh flower.

The skin on the back of his hands swiftly glassed down the underside of ten fingernails, muscle bundles and nerves spread apart along invisible blade marks, exposing the white joints below, rapidly extending to other parts of his body.

As if replaying the fish filleting scene, when Leon forked the fish meat into his mouth, every place near his bones showed very fine blade marks.

Originally intact skin and flesh rapidly divided along the marks, making his figure literally extremely "exposed," and appearing fierce and terrifying, yet Leon seemed unaware, still forking fish into his mouth...

"Stop! Stop eating!"

Though aware that it’s likely part of the selection, seeing Leon’s ever more "skeletal" figure, the petite female Cleaner couldn’t help but scream, grabbing his arm, her face pale, urging:

"Wait a moment! Look at the others!"

Look at others?

Interrupted Leon momentarily paused, while glancing around, unable to help but ask with a bit of surprise:

"What’s wrong with them? Aren’t they all happy?"

No...where do you see them as happy!

Shocked by Leon’s reply, the female Cleaner bolstered her courage, pointing at the beetroot soup opposite, her face panic-filled:

"That person is split into two, swimming in the soup! Don’t you see? And the salted snails and potato braised lamb, that squirming meat shell...and the white bone potatoes, they...they...You’re their dish!"

...

Hmm? She completely unaffected by [Dinner of the Body]?

Listening to the petite female Cleaner’s shout, while wiping the board, the Cancer Director curiously glanced at her.

Even Leon, the one he previously favored most, couldn’t see through [Feast of Corpse]’s anomaly, defenselessly consuming dishes made from his existence, yet the little girl brought by Baltro wasn’t confused, immediately detecting the anomaly.

Opening his hollow-eyed sockets, ignoring Melly’s obstruction, watching Leon continuously eating fish, the Cancer Director couldn’t help but shake his head, eyes revealing a trace of regret.

Too bad...though his talent was quite extraordinary, compared to the little girl brought by Baltro, he’s slightly lacking. The next Cancer Director’s position likely won’t be his.
