I noticed some people talking about this. I think the author is playing around with disconnect between them being two different species. Hoyori is a human and he puts things into human terms and considerations. He literally won't understand what Hodaka is talking abount. He isn't a oni after all. Meanwhile Hodaka has a hardest time vocally expressing himself to Hoyori. It's actually one thing I like about this manga.
Hodaka knows Hoyori well enough to understand he gets in his own head and will stew. So Hodaka tried his best to be clear it sometimes falls short when it comes to his oni background. In this liking vs eatting thing. I won't to see where these weirdos go.
This is a better version of that weird vore beast man bl I read ago. Holy shit.
