Komatsu's Love Defense

Setsunori was very dissatisfied with our unreasonable behavior and shouted, "You are so slow to react!"

Jie Nai held the large soup spoon tightly in both hands and stirred the soup in the pot carefully.

I stared at the pot and asked curiously, "Grandma Jie, the soup is not ready yet, what's going on..."

Jieno gently stirred the pot with the spoon in his hand. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Well... Actually, this so-called century soup is originally a treasure that exists in nature!"

Ah Lu held his chin with his hand, frowning: "This is the first time I've heard of it..."

Setsuno had a faint smile on his face, his thoughts drifting away, recalling the good old days: "Huhu... Kojiro tasted this before. Just that one sip was enough to leave a lasting aftertaste. This soup is made to imitate that taste!"

A hint of stubbornness appeared on my face, and my eyes were full of determination: "Grandma Jie, you are amazing for making the Century Soup so delicious."

"In my opinion, the delicious taste has not been fully restored yet." Jieno is very humble and never brags.

“Slurp, slurp—”

Jie Nai and I both looked at A Lu who was standing next to us. We saw him lying on the ground like a hungry wolf, greedily drinking the soup from the pot.

Jie Nai was so angry that his eyebrows were shaking. He did not hide his disgust for A Lu and glared at him coldly: "You drank too much, A Lu!"

This A Lu...if there wasn't soup in the pot, I really wanted to kick him out.

I finally couldn't help but express my curiosity: "Grandma Jie, what does the real Century Soup taste like?"

Setsuno stopped stirring and had a thoughtful look on her face. "How should I put it... It's hard to describe the taste in words. But Xiaosong, when you drank this soup, didn't you say it felt like something was missing? That's right... It's almost exactly that feeling. The authentic soup tastes like something that's added to it."

"Xiaosong, it's just like this. I can't understand it no matter what I do~" Jieno kept sighing, with a deep helplessness in his eyes.

My eyes wandered, and my hands rubbed the corners of my clothes involuntarily: "Grandma Jie, I...I didn't mean that...I just mentioned it casually."

Setsuno looked back with a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pond. As her eyes flickered, they revealed an indescribable complexity: "Xiaosong, why do you think I brought you to this kitchen? No matter which country's president or gourmet, no one has ever complained about my cooking. I am fascinated by your taste and sensibility. I think if it were you, maybe... you could finish this soup!"

"Wufufu... That's why I brought you here so that you can see the ingredients of the soup stock in detail. Don't you want to try it? The authentic soup of the century!" Setsunori tilted her head and looked at us, staring at our faces with interest.

The system's electronic voice sounded: "Ding, host, please complete the task of capturing the authentic Century Soup with A Lu, and give this soup to the people in the food club. After drinking the authentic Century Soup, complete this dish. Completing the plot and the dish will reward you with a total of 50 cooking points."

Ah Lu looked at me deeply, with an undisguised desire in his eyes: "I want to drink it, I really want to try this genuine century soup, right, Xiaosong!"

"Yes... yes, I really want to try it." I forced a smile on my face, which was uglier than crying, as if someone was holding a knife to my neck and I had to make this decision.

I'm sorry, A'lu, even if you cut off your left hand for this century soup, I still have to give this century soup to Stajiu, and I can only give it to you after I have cooked it.

Jie Nuo closed his eyes tightly. When he opened them again, his eyes were like a small cluster of jumping flames, shining with firm determination: "The time is right. Century Soup only appears once every hundred years, so it is called Century Soup. Now a man who knows everything about it is in the city, gathering gourmets from all over the world in an attempt to get the Century Soup!"

"If it were you, you would definitely be hired immediately, A'lu! Just take Xiaosong with you to try the authentic Century Soup and make the authentic Century Soup yourself!" Jie Nai stared at A'lu and me with a sharp gaze, his face full of seriousness.

There was an eager light in A'lu's eyes, as if two flames were burning. He couldn't wait to taste the authentic Century Soup.
