Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Yesterday's hard work and harvest were all eaten up in no time, and they even used cuteness to mock themselves, which is truly unforgivable.

Just as Kirito's emotions were starting to build, the little fat dragon spoke up again: "And yesterday's was even better."

Yesterday's food was definitely the best; after all, those were treasured by me for a long time.

In contrast, today's ingredients were hastily prepared yesterday.

If it weren't for needing to feed the guy in front of him, Kirito would have sold him long ago.

And yet, the person being fed is actually here making comments, does he really think he's a gourmet?

Kirito asked irritably, "Then can you still eat it?"

"...It's edible."

Ugh, Kirito has a headache.

But he had to admit that this was no longer a problem he could solve on his own, and he needed to consider finding help.

Since the goal is to feed the little guy in front of us, we need to take cooking skills and backpack supplies into account, while combat strength is a bonus.

Soon, a figure appeared in Kirito's mind—Emiya Shirou.

In reality, he is an all-rounder in housework and also has a high level of cooking skills, so it is likely that the other party has collected a lot of ingredients.

Great hero, sacrifice yourself for the greater good!

Kirito found Shirou in his contact list, and Shirou happened to be online.

Kirito: You there? I need your help with something very important.

The other party quickly expressed their doubts in their reply.

[Shirou: It's very important... How important is it?]

[Kirito: This concerns the life and death of SAO!]

Upon seeing this message, Shirou smiled. The chairman was joking again, completely failing to grasp the importance of the matter.

But since it was the other party's request, as a guild member, I should definitely do my part.

[Shirou: Send me your location, I'll be there soon.]

So Kirito and Afei stared at each other, waiting in silence.

Although Kanna didn't know the other person was waiting for someone, she figured that if they hadn't left, there must still be food.

But Kobayashi had told her at home not to cause trouble, so she didn't ask. Seeing that Kirito didn't seem to be leaving anytime soon, she plopped down on the ground.

Even Kirito couldn't help but think that the chubby dragon was too carefree.

Before long, a red figure came rushing over from a distance.

As soon as Shirou approached, he immediately noticed the enormous boss in the area, which made him wonder why he had been summoned.

So he approached Kirito and quickly asked, "Does the guild leader want to see me to help with the boss fight? But why are there only two of us?"

"Defeat the boss? Not really." Kirito replied seriously, "But there's a quest of similar difficulty that I need your help with."

What other task could be as difficult as a boss?

This made Shirou even more confused: "How can I help?"

“It’s simple…” Kirito moved aside, revealing the figure behind him: “Help me feed her!”

Shirou's gaze swept past the other person and he discovered that there was a third person present besides the two of them.

It was a cute little girl in pink, sitting there so adorable that it reminded him of his own sister, Ilya.

Kirito introduced her to him, saying, "She's... cough, Kanna. Because her appetite is so huge, she has no choice but to ask you for help. It's all up to you, great hero!"

"Big appetite?" Shirou's gaze darted back and forth between the loli and Kirito.

The expression on his face seemed to say: How big can such a little guy's appetite be? Are you kidding me?

Kirito helplessly shrugged: "You can try it if you don't believe me."

"it is good!"

After agreeing, Shirou immediately unfolded the kitchen utensils from his backpack.

First, a pot was set up, and then a 'lava flint and steel' was taken out. Two seemingly ordinary stones would generate a weak lava flame when they collided, making it an essential fire-starting tool for home, travel, and outdoor adventure. In addition, there were a series of tools such as folding spatulas and spoons.

Even Kirito, a player who started playing the game at launch, was amazed when he saw it.

Is this still SAO? Which food show did I end up on?

Some high-end blacksmith shops allow you to provide your own blueprints for customization, but you spent a lot of money to customize an iron spatula?

After all, I've never heard of monsters dropping such items.

As if sensing the other's surprise, Shirou explained, "Because Illya said she wanted to eat my cooking in SAO, I went to the trouble of getting these things."

"I understand." Kirito patted Shirou on the shoulder to show his understanding.

After all, SAO allows you to create flavors that don't exist in reality, and even Asuna often gets engrossed in cooking.

After seeing this set of professional equipment, Kirito felt much more at ease.

Didn't you say the food I fed them wasn't tasty? Well, let's see what you can say after it's been cooked by a master chef.

Kirito's lips curled into a smile, as if he could already see Kanna bowing down to the master chef's culinary skills.

Shirou lit the fire.

Compared to cooking in real life, there is clearly one more advantage here.

He picked up a knife and made a cut on the ingredients, and in the next moment, the ingredients all turned into equal-sized pieces.

Kirito knew from this alone that Shirou definitely possessed a high level of culinary skill.

Then he threw all the ingredients into the pot at once, without any order or even stirring. He simply put the lid on and waited for the dish to be served. While waiting, he even cooked a pot of rice.

Before long, Shirou lifted the lid of the pot, and instantly the aroma filled the air.

Little Fatty Dragon, who had been sitting there, also smelled the aroma. He immediately got up and walked over, touching his lips with his finger, looking very curious.

"This is... curry?" Kirito asked.

"That's right, it's a new dish based on the characteristics of SAO ingredients, and it's very easy to make as long as you have the ingredients."

It's no wonder Kirito was puzzled; in reality, curry is usually brown, but the dish in front of him was golden.

The overflowing steam reflects a golden hue, and the dish, like something out of a golden legend, appears before you.

Shirou first scooped the rice into a plate, then poured the golden broth evenly over it, and that's how this special dish was completed. Finally, he thoughtfully placed the spoon on the plate.

He gently pushed the curry towards Kanna, as if she were his own sister: "Please try the special curry."

Kanna picked up the spoon with her little hands and took a big bite.

Seeing this, Shirou kindly reminded him, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Although it was just a casual remark, it made Kirito, who couldn't help but approach and want to get a serving for himself, stop in his tracks.

Yes, he was immediately craving the food he had never tried before.

But after hearing that, he felt it was best to be patient for now.

Then, to Shirou's astonishment, Kanna put a large spoonful of curry into her mouth.

Logically speaking, that amount of food should have been enough to choke an adult, but the little fat dragon in front of him just smacked his lips twice and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Then Kanna left with the comment, "Delicious~"

"Is that so? In that case, eat more..."

Before Shirou could finish speaking, Kanna was already in front of him, lifting the entire pot with both hands, and opening her mouth wide, she poured all the remaining golden curry into her mouth in one go.

Shirou was embarrassed and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

There was still enough food for at least three people in the pot, which he had prepared for the three people present, but the little guy in front of him ate it all in one bite?

Kirito patted him on the shoulder again, encouraging him while also expressing his regret at not having tasted the delicious food.

"Keep it up, hero! Do you have enough food stored?"
