Komatsu's Love Defense

As night fell, the party continued until late at night, and I cleaned up my kitchen utensils. It was quiet all around, and I looked out the window at the night, with only my room still brightly lit.

I walked through the dim corridor and came to the bathroom. The warm water gently flowed in. The mirror in front of me reflected my smooth black hair, and the bathroom was filled with a faint lavender scent.

I leaned against the wall, water droplets sliding across my body like morning mist sliding on flower petals, my eyes looked out the window through the steam: "I remember the next ingredient we are going to catch is puffer whale, am I finally going to meet the Four Heavenly Kings Coco?"

I have always liked the character of Coco in the comics. Not only is she gentle, but she is also very smart. She will definitely be a perfect husband in the future.

Coco is such a perfect person, it would be great if I could do that with him. I was stunned and quickly put aside the weird thoughts in my mind.

In the following days, I have been busy with work and also found time to exercise. I know that some things cannot be rushed, and I have to trust that the ingredients will guide me.

A week later, Alu came to my hotel and invited me to go to Cave Beach to catch puffer whales.

My Mediterranean boss is having a headache because his chef has been asking for leave recently. But Alu is also someone he can't afford to offend, so he can only give me a vacation.

The train travels through the mountains and ridges, gallops on the winding tracks, and a train full of passengers passes through cities.

I was on the train, sitting by the window, with all kinds of wine bottles on the table in front of me. Alu skillfully opened the bottle and poured it into the glass. A rich aroma of wine immediately filled the air, and squeezed a little lemon juice into it.

He raised the glass high and drank the wine in it in one breath, his eyes radiating eager joy uncontrollably: "Delicious! As expected, Dragon Snake Orchid and Platinum Lemon are a perfect match! Right, Xiaosong!"

I shook my head, revealing a hint of helplessness in my eyes and said, "Mr. Alu, you have already drunk the tenth bottle of wine. You bought all the wine on the train. Do you plan to drink enough at once?"

A Lu grinned and said with a sincere smile: "Because I am so happy. I can't stop being happy just thinking about seeing the dreamy whales!"

The reason why Alu found me was because he received information a few days ago about a group of dreamy whales, called puffer whales, which are considered to be the delicacies of the deep sea.

In order to survive the once-in-a-decade spawning season, they will float to the shallows.

The news that puffer whales were spawning in the shallows spread, causing food-related stocks in various markets to hit their daily limit for several days.

In particular, the stock prices of companies that successfully hired famous gourmets skyrocketed.

The IGO Legal Affairs Bureau has also been dispatched for this, but it has not yet been confirmed whether this is a spread or a rumor. However, many gourmets have taken action to catch puffer whales.

This train also carries many gourmets to the Cave Beach, the spawning ground of puffer whales.

Ah Lu ate the burger in his hand with a satisfied expression on his face. "There is only one problem. Puffer whales are highly poisonous. Although I have the qualification certification to remove the poison bags, it is not that simple. That is the problem..."

I propped my chin on my hand and stared at the scenery outside the window. "Yes, puffer whale is designated as a special cooking ingredient. I guess not many people can easily cook it."

A Lu raised his eyebrows and leaned lazily on the sofa: "It is said that there are less than 10 chefs in the world who can remove the poison bag of puffer whales, but the person we are looking for is not a chef."

"Asshole! Bring some wine quickly!" There was a sound of glass breaking, and the carriage was like a pot of boiling water, the entire train was noisy.

A man dressed like a savage rushed into the carriage, with a square face full of pimples, thick and wide lips, and a collapsed and flat nose, looking extremely ugly.

The savage's eyes were wide open, full of anger and dissatisfaction. He held a half-broken empty bottle in his hand and looked at our table full of wine: "Huh? I was wondering why the wine stock was so bad, it turns out that you guys ate it all by yourself!"

He gnashed his teeth and roared, "I am the gourmet Zong Gai, do you want to see my full Western meal?"

A Lu glanced at the western-style menu in Zong Gai's hand and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Am I being picked on? If you want some wine, just take some yourself!"

For A Lu to find fault and provoke, he should be surrounded by ferocious beasts. As the saying goes, travel with your companions and do things with favors. Although there will definitely be a fight, maybe sometimes we can help each other.

"I didn't expect you to be so sensible." Zong Gai patted A Lu's shoulder happily, took some of the wine and left.

"Please... could you please... give me some wine..." A familiar and kind voice came into my ears. Hearing this familiar tone, a warm feeling surged in my heart.

The old man standing in front of them had a blush on his face, a graying crew cut, a short stature and a hunched back. He was wearing a white vest and a pair of flip-flops.

He is Jiro, the acupuncture master who saved Xiaosong's life in the comic story! I quickly stuffed a few bottles of good-looking wine to the old man in front of me.

Although, I don’t know if the plot will change after coming here and Komatsu almost died, but at least there has to be a guarantee!

Jiro hiccuped while holding the bottle of wine, and expressed his gratitude to me: "Hiccup - thank you, I will repay the kindness of this wine."

A-Lu looked at me with a strange look, but I didn't say anything. Anyway, this was A-Lu's debt to Xiaosong in the original plot, and it was appropriate to repay this favor with his wine.

After the train traveled for several hours, we finally arrived at our destination, the Divination Town!
