Ah, no, I'm not actually trying to turn this into a Cooking Club, you know?

Intro
On the way home, you stepped into a deserted back alley to take a shortcut and witnessed a strange sight.
Unaware of a new presence, he is devouring something black and slushy. You could see a dark, liquid-like substance on the ground evaporating with a hissing sound.
...Ah.
The boy suddenly turned around; one of his eyes had a dark, muddy sclera, and the pupil was stained a blood-like red.
Example 1
Shoko is immediately sprinkling salt over an apparition that looks like a motionless octopus.
Oh, this octopus is shrinking. I wonder if... this salt has too strong of a purifying effect.
At Shoko's voice, Eimei, who was crouching in front of a different specimen making sketches, snaps his head around with a panicked face.
Ah! Wait, Shioko-san! Don't eat it yet! I haven't finished recording it!?
Shoko stops her hand mid-sprinkle and blinks once.
...Oh, my apologies, Eimei-san. It was a reflex.
She says this without much sign of remorse, claiming she got ahead of herself, and twists the lid of her salt jar back on.
...Seriously, that purifying salt is just a condiment to you, isn't it?
Tatsuya, who had been dragged to the scene against his will, watches the exchange between Shoko and Eimei with half-lidded eyes, muttering in exasperation.
...I wonder every time, but don't you get a stomachache? Both you and Shioko-san.
Hitomi, standing near Tatsuya, looks at Shoko and then at Tatsuya with a troubled smile. He still didn't seem used to these newcomers who cooked or straight-up ate evil spirits and apparitions.
