Right after Jester, Akemi and the guys are done in cleaning and defrosting the meat, all of them heard and saw all of the girls had returned and holding different ingredients in their hands.

"We're all back, guys!" said Panther.

"Sorry about the wait!" said Chie apologetically to the guys.

"We collected a lot of ingredients." said Yukiko.

"Oh, perfect timin'. So, what did you girls bring back?" asked Skull curiously to them.

"This is what I found." replied Naoto as she showed them a kind of brownish-green plant in her hands.

"…Um, is it some kind of grass?" said Yosuke with a confused look on his face at the plant that Naoto showed them.

"It appears to be some type of herb." said Noir before she take the plant from Naoto and sniff it. "Here, give it a sniff-doesn't it smell nice?" added Noir.

"Meowww!? That's a bit too grassy for my nose…" said Mona as he shake his head.

"It is rather… pungent, but herbs can complement to the smell of meats well, so these could be quite useful." said Crow.

"Okay, me next! Take a look… Ta-daaaaah!" said Chie as she showed them a huge egg with dozens of diamond-shaped green markings on it.

"Holy shit, it's huge! What kinda egg is this!?" said Kanji with a shock look on his face at the huge egg that Chie showed them.

"Eh, I dunno. I just saw it on the ground and picked it up." said Chie casually to them.

"Seriously? You saw, picked up and bring back a dino egg on the ground, Chie-chan? You're lucky that the mother of the egg you picked up and bring back isn't around when you take it." said Akemi in disbelief and shock at Chie for taking and bringing back a dino egg.

"Dude, this egg thing better not end up hatching on us…" said Yosuke with a concern look on his face.

"It has a pleasant shape, but a bold, wild, pattern-I want to take it back for further study instead of cracking it open…" said Fox with an interested look on his face.

"This is what I found-here you go." said Yukiko as she showed them some kind of yellow and dark green plant with slimy green ooze dripping out from it's razor-teeth mouth at the top of it (and which make Jester, Akemi and all the guys heard an imaginary and terrible screaming of a girl in the distance).

"My god, what kind of scary-looking plant is that!?" said Spade with a fearful look on his face at the plant in Yukiko's hands.

"Is that… some kind of bug-eating pitcher plant in your hands, Yukiko-chan?" said Akemi.

"My animal instincts… are telling me that thing's dangerous…" said Teddie with a fearful look on his face at the plant.

"Wouldn't it be cute as a serving dish? I just picked it, so it's nice and fresh." said Yukiko happily to them.

"I see. It does sound like a good idea to you but I think it's better that we don't used it as a serving dish on this meat, Yukiko-san." said Jester as she shake her head at Yukiko.

"Y-Yeah, Jester's right. Maybe next time, alright, Yukiko-chan." said Akemi in agreement with Jester.

"I see. Alright then, Akemi." said Yukiko as she look down with a sad look on her face.

"Aw, man… Everybody else bring back and gets to show off a bunch of cool ingredients, but all I got were these…" said Panther with a dejected look on her face.

"What is it, what is it? C'mon, show us!" said Skull impatiently to Panther (who take out and showed them a bunch of fragrant-smelling, tasty-looking mushrooms).

"Ooooh, what an enticing aroma! Could those be what I think it is?" said Mona with a surprise then happy looks on his face at the mushrooms.

"They're wild Matsutake mushrooms! Miyuki-chan spotted them, then the girls of Phantom Thieves swiped every last ones!" said Noir.

"She did, huh? Good job, Miyuki-san." said Jester proudly at Miyuki (who nodded back to her).

"Daaaaamn! Those things are very expensive-and you girls found and bring back so many of them!" said Yosuke with a shock look on his face.

"But, why are Matsutake mushrooms growing in this jungle?" said Crow with a confused look on his face.

"I suspect they were most likely involved in genetic manipulation experiments. The researchers and geneticists may have developed them concurrently with the dinosaurs… That's just my own speculation, though." said Naoto.

"So not only they do experiments on dinosaurs but on mushrooms too? Why those…" said Miyuki with a displeased look on her face.

"So, us girls total yield of ingredients is a bunch of herb plants, an egg, a scary-looking pitcher plant and a lot of Matsutake mushrooms!" said Noir with a happy look on her face.

"Still, that pitcher plant is a bit… you know, but the others seem quite usable, right?" said Queen as she glance at Paladin.

"Yeah, they do except the pitcher plant, Queen." said Paladin as he nodded at Queen.

"Excuse me, girls. The pot has been brought up to proper temperature, and the meat is ready to go as well. Jester and Akemi-san-we leave the rest to you two." said Fox as he turned to glance at both Jester and Akemi.

"In that case, I guess we'll start with the mushrooms first. What do you think we should do with them, Jester?" asked Akemi as she glance at Jester.

"Let's minced them up then roast them quickly over the fire first, Akemi." replied Jester before she and Akemi minced the mushrooms up then threw the minced pieces of mushrooms over the fire for roasting.

"Oooh-the moment they hit the flames, their pleasant scent wafted my way…" said Mona as he glance and smiled at Jester.

"My appetite's been fully roused. I can feel my tummy growling like mad!" said Teddie excitedly to both Jester and Mona.

"All right, next up is the meat. How do you think we should cook it, Jester?" asked Akemi again to Jester.

"Quickly sear it over high heat." replied Jester before she and Akemi start to cook the meat.

"Oh man, it looks sooooo good! It's got those burn marks an' everything! I'm getting hungry…" said Skull excitedly to them.

"Yeah, I agreed with you, Skull." said Spade as he nodded at Skull.

"Hungry, you two? Then try some of this, then!" said Yukiko as she showed the pitcher plant to both Skull and Spade.

"Huh? Uh…" said Spade as he turned and glance at Yukiko with a worry look on his face.

"Ooh, don't mind if I do- Augh, this is that bug-eatin' plant! It's still moving; there's no way I'm gonna eat this-Wait, why is it MOVING!?" said Skull with a shock look on his face at the moving plant.

"Yeah, why is it moving, Yukiko?" asked Spade worriedly to Yukiko.

"It's moving because it just ate a bug, you two." replied Yukiko softly to them both.

"… Ah, this meat is beautifully browned. I believe it's ready to plate, Jester." said Fox.

"Now, we should garnish it with the mushrooms we prepared…" said Queen.

"And now we add the special sauce… There, voila!" said Chie as she dumped a kind of dark green sauce onto the meat before anyone could stop her.

"Wha-Chie! What the hell did you just do!?" said Yosuke as he scowled at Chie.

"It's, uhh… Movie meat with foraged jungle sauce?" said Chie.

"Seriously, Chie-chan?" thought Akemi as she shake her head at Chie.

"I meant what's IN the sauce! And when did you even made that stuff!?" said Yosuke.

"We combined the egg white, the herbs and some liquid from the inside of the pitcher plant, then boiled it all down." said Yukiko.

"Um… they say not using the ingredients they brought back would be a waste, so… I couldn't stop them, I'm sorry." said Naoto apologetically to them.

"It's fine, Naoto." sighed Akemi as she shake her head a little.

"Good god, this dish appears to have been… slimed!" said Fox with a disgust look on his face at the dish.

"It's, um… What do they call it? Organic? Also, it's nice and green, and doesn't it smell like something a dino would eat?" said Chie.

"Not in the least! It just reeks! It smell like… grassy eggs!" snapped Yosuke sternly at Chie.

"Yeah, he's right, it does smell like grassy eggs. I'm sorry, Chie-chan." said Akemi sadly to Chie.

"What're we gonna do with this? It's been turned into some kinda mystery object." said Kanji as he scratch his head a little.

"Should one of us… do a taste test?" suggested Miyuki.

"Huh? But who's gonna-" said Yosuke with a shock look on his face.

"Alley-oop. Down your hatch, Yosuke!" said Teddie as he suddenly grab and pull away a handful of the green slime coated meat from the huge meat before he jumped toward Yosuke and shoved the green slime coated meat into his mouth.

"W-What!? Teddie!" gasped Akemi as she covered her mouth with her hands and with a horror look on her face.

"Hrgh!? Bluh! Ah, you moron! I-I don't wanna die yet-Blech! Blech!" said Yosuke in a horror tone of voice to Teddie for forcing him to eat the green slime coated meat.

"Yosuke… Please make it through this alive…" said Akemi sadly to Yosuke (who started coughing and wheezing now).

"Are you okay!? Should we try to make you throw up or something?" said Panther worriedly to Yosuke.

"N-Nnnnngh… Hrrrrrrghhhh!" groaned Yosuke as he closed his eyes and clutch his stomach with both arms. "It's… It's… It's delicious!" added Yosuke quite loudly and happily to them.

"Huh!? It is?" said Spade in disbelief at Yosuke.

"Are you for real!?" said Mona with a shock look on his face.

"Seriously! It's so good, it makes no sense! Try it, you guys and girls!" said Yosuke to the others, who glance at each other before they try it out too.

"Oh wow, he's right, this is very good." said Miyuki with an impressed look on her face.

"Yeah, the slime makes the meat taste creamy and bursting with flavor." said Akemi, impressed as well.

"Mm, this could be quite addicting… The sauce adds a richness to the meat that really complements the flavor." said Noir, impressed as well.

"I don't believe it-that slime worked!? Did it have some kinda chemical reaction with the meat or something?" said Skull with a disbelief then shock looks on his face.

"No, it doesn't, Skull. It didn't do that to the meat." said Jester as she shake her head at Skull.

"What a unique harmony of flavor and aroma! This sauce is nothing less than a miraculous collaboration." said Fox with an impressed look on his face as well.

"Hear that, Yosuke? Our cooking skills can't be beat!" said Chie as she glance and scowled at Yosuke.

"No, this was a miracle combined with a coincidence… If not for the meat, this would just be eggy, grassy slime." said Yosuke as he scratch his head a little.

"Yeah, true, senpai." said Kanji in agreement with Yosuke.

"In any case, I think we should be able to lure the carnivore with this, Jester." said Crow as he glance at Jester.

"Crow had a point. Let's go set the bait before it gets cold, Jester." said Naoto.

"Yeah, let's do it then." said Jester as she nodded at both Crow and Naoto before she, Akemi and the others picked up and carry the plate of green slimed huge meat to where the T-Rex FOE is.
