Komatsu's Love Defense

A Lu's eyes flashed with a smile. He bit off the piece of meat in his hand and said jokingly, "However, adult penguins are quite ferocious. I'm afraid they are rioting everywhere because they are looking for this child."

"Ah? Is this really the case?" I was shocked and realized that this little penguin might have parents.

Ah Lu chewed something and said incoherently: "You will definitely be regarded as a child trafficker by the cub's parents!"

Machi lowered her head, stood up and was about to leave: "Hehe... the little penguin who got separated from his family, I'll leave it to you to take care of."

"Sorry, I need to rest. The journey has just begun, and we must conserve our energy to deal with emergencies." After saying this, Machi smiled at Alu with an intriguing look, and then walked into the tent to rest.

I held the baby Walden penguin in my arms, looked at Takimaru and Machi's three subordinates, and asked in confusion: "Um... why did you come here to get the Century Soup?"

Machi's three subordinates were slightly startled, then they sighed and slowly spoke: "Nerg Street, that's where we live..."

A Lu held a piece of meat in his mouth and interrupted, "Slums? Nerge, the food crime city of the IGO member country."

Takimaru looked at his three subordinates and said with emotion: "It's a lawless area where prohibited food ingredients are openly traded. About 10% of the prisoners in the food prison are from Nerge Street. It's a factory where criminals are produced."

"We're so sorry, that's our hometown too." Machi's three subordinates looked helpless.

A Lu sighed heavily and said with deep emotion: "On the surface, Machi accepted this commission for the reward, but in fact, if it was just for money, trading illegal ingredients would be a more efficient way to make money."

The three subordinates revealed a trace of loneliness in their tone: "There is no doubt that the deputy team leader is determined to bring Century Soup back. He did this all for the orphans waiting in his hometown. The three of us were also children wandering the streets. We were dirty at that time. The only one who extended a helping hand to us was none other than Mr. March, who was the deputy of the Gourmet Gang at that time."

For a moment, we all fell silent. It was hard for us to imagine how much suffering those children had gone through and how much hunger they had endured. But at least there was one person who was silently taking risks and doing his best for the happiness of the children.

"Mr. March allowed us, children who had to feed ourselves with food waste, to taste delicious food that we had never tasted before. I have never experienced that kind of joyful shock again!" After the flat-headed man finished speaking, a happy smile spread across his face.

A Lu closed his eyes, a relieved smile blooming on his face, like the warm sunshine in spring: "You joined the Food Gang because of the favor you showed me back then!"

The man with the flat head choked a little: "Mr. March also said that I was just a hyena until the leader saved me. The leader once said that if I want to repay him, I should not only target him, but also benefit those hungry children in the slums!"

“That one delicious meal, although surprising, truly saved us. We are no longer hyenas, but reborn human beings.” The faces of the subordinates in the central branch were filled with smiles from the heart.

My eyes were slightly moist, and I tried my best to hold back the tears that were about to fall: "That's why..."

The flat-headed man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "The greatest evil is poverty. Orphans can be said to be victims. Children are innocent. The Gourmet Mafia is an organization that lives in the darkness of Nerg Street. Although it is a troublesome organization that is feared and despised by the Rule of Law Country, we cannot agree that children who are hungry are treated badly just because they were born in Nerg Street."

"Mr. March always said that you have to eat your fill first. Loving good people or bad people is all a matter for later." Although it is impossible to see the eyes behind the sunglasses under the flat head, I believe that they must be full of admiration for March.

Takimaru looked at the three men under Machi's command, a trace of worry on his face: "However, you actually took the risk to obtain such high-quality ingredients..."

Ah Lu held the meat slice in his mouth and chewed it, then turned to look at Takimaru and asked, "What about you? Takimaru?"

Takimaru was stunned when he heard the voice, turned to look at Alu, and asked in confusion: "Huh?"

While chewing his food, A Lu said, "Do the members of the Gourmet Knights really know about this mission? This is the soup of the century. I think it is very different from the gourmet doctrine of vegetarianism. It is a high-end ingredient."

Takimaru stared at Alu for a long time before he sighed and lowered his head sadly: "The other members were not aware of this mission."

Ah Lu said as he ate, "As expected, I thought it was a little strange for you to be alone. This job is not something that can be entrusted to a newcomer. Didn't you even tell that Xiao Ai guy?"

Takimaru panicked instantly and screamed in fear: "Please... please don't tell Mr. Aimaru, only the leader must not..."

Alu looked up, stared at Takimaru, and asked in confusion: "Why do you want to take on such a difficult task alone?"

Takimaru's face instantly turned dull and gloomy. He lowered his head and remained silent, as if he found it difficult to speak: "I... I need... money... a lot of money... just to buy out the medicine from the Healing Country Life."

Hearing this, all of us were stunned. A Lu then asked, "Medicine...medicine for what?"

Takimaru bit his lip, as if he had finally made up his mind, and whispered: "It is a medicine that can cure all diseases. It is said that no matter what the disease is, it can be cured..."

The subordinate with slanted hair smiled slightly, as if he saw through Takimaru's thoughts: "After all, it's all for the sake of helping others..."

"Hmph, being willing to take risks for others is exactly the same as us!" The flat-headed man chuckled. This was also the purpose of their trip.

While chewing his food, Ah Lu said thoughtfully: "The medicine that cures all diseases, I remember the teachings of the Gourmet Church..."

Takimaru sighed, frowned, and lowered his head: "Yes, the teachings of the Gourmet Church are to entrust life to nature and follow nature. Using artificially developed drugs for diseases is against the teachings, but...if it is the Healing Country Life..."

"There are many natural medicines and ingredients with healing properties there. If they are natural products, they will not violate the doctrine! No matter how high the price is, I must get them, I must..." Takimaru's voice became more and more excited. He closed his eyes tightly and tears kept flowing down.
