Komatsu's Love Defense

Jie Nai grabbed a rope, kicked his feet, and swung to the other side easily.

Jie Nai landed steadily on the ground, stretched his waist, turned around and urged us with a smile: "Okay, this is it, come over here quickly."

Ah Lu's eyes sparkled with excitement, unable to conceal his inner excitement. He grabbed the rope and swung easily to the other side.

I stared down into the abyss below and swallowed nervously, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

I held the rope tightly in my hands, took two steps back, started running with all my strength, and then jumped up suddenly. The moment my feet left the ground, I flew out.

Just when I thought I was about to fall, A Lu reached out and grabbed my ankle tightly. He lifted me up and put me on the ground.

A'lu and I followed Jie Nai's steps closely and rushed down the stairs like a gust of wind, the steps under our feet making a thudding sound.

I followed the outline of the stairs closely, following the back of Jie Nuo, and asked anxiously, "Excuse me...Grandma Jie Nuo, what did you mean by 'depending on your mood'?"

"Woo, huh... When I said it all depends on my mood, I didn't mean the mood of opening a shop, but the mood of the ingredients!" Jie Nai hunched his back, his voice slow and gentle.

I suddenly stopped and stood there in a daze, with a confused look on my face: "Ingredients...mood..."

Setsuno looked at me, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "Wufufu... Xiaosong, you always think that it is the chef who selects the ingredients and cooks? In fact, we are all just half-baked. The fact is just the opposite, it is the ingredients that choose people and chefs..."

I stopped dead in my tracks as if struck by lightning. I looked up in disbelief and looked directly into Setsunori's eyes, as if I wanted to see the unknown world through her eyes. "This is the feeling of selecting ingredients... How did you, grandma Setsunori, achieve such perfection?"

"I'm just exploring the mood of the ingredients every day. Whether to open or close depends entirely on the mood of the ingredients! If it were Komatsu, he would understand it one day." At this moment, Setsuno seemed to be emitting a mysterious light, like the dawn, illuminating the darkness deep in my heart.

Setsuno slowly pushed open the door, as if opening up a mysterious world: "Okay, we're here! This is... the place where the Century Soup is processed."

The expressions on my and A'lu's faces froze instantly, and we pointed at the object in front of us with trembling hands. The cauldron in front of us was about 100 meters high, and its wide mouth could hold countless ingredients to be boiled in it, as if it was an endless treasure.

A Lu's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his voice trembled with excitement: "Is this the pot for boiling the legendary soup?"

Jie Nai suddenly pushed the ground hard like an arrow shot from a bow, his body leaped up like a spring, and then landed steadily on the edge of the pot.

I looked up at where Setsuno was, my eyes filled with confusion: "How strong are Granny Setsuno and Jiro?"

The electronic voice of the system came: "Once the host obtains Setsuno's approval, you will know their information."

"Xiaosong, come on, let's climb up too!" A'lu had already climbed up the tall ladder like an agile monkey, shouting at me to hurry over.

I climbed up the ladder with difficulty. Every step felt like climbing a steep mountain. Finally, after great effort, I reached the top of the ladder.

As I slowly approached the pot, I was stunned by the ingredients in front of me.

Under the heating of the fire, the fresh soup in the pot bubbles up and down, and various ingredients such as seafood, meat, vegetables, etc. jump up and down in the soup, exuding an enticing aroma.

A Lu opened his mouth wide with a surprised expression: "It's amazing that it's so clear before filtering..."

My lips trembled involuntarily, and my heart seemed to jump out of my throat: "This is the soup of the century with the ingredients still in the soup!"

Setsuno's tone was gentle and calm, and she smiled gently, "Wufufu... because I have been skimming off the foam for half a year... but actually this soup... is not finished yet!"

I was so immersed in the world of delicious food that I didn't notice what Jie Nai said. I stared at the ingredients in the pot, pointed at two of them, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Look carefully, there are indeed bird bones and mineral coconuts in the ingredients, right, Mr. A Lu!"

There seemed to be two flames burning in A Lu's eyes, and he looked around excitedly: "Yes, there are motor onions, it's really amazing, Grandma Jie!"

Setsuno tried to repeat what he had just said: "This soup is not finished yet..."

"Eh? Mr. Alu, look, there are German swordfish bones in it. It is said that the stench and foam cannot be removed even after several months!" My heart was trembling and my hands were shaking as I pointed at the ingredient.

Ah Lu lay on the ground, looking around: "But there is no smell at all, it's amazing, Grandma Jie!"

Setsuno's face gradually changed color, his eyebrows knitted together, and he shouted loudly: "Yes, it's amazing! But even so, this century soup is not finished yet!"

We were both stunned at the same time. It took us a while to react and our faces turned red all the way to our necks.
