Gentleman's Night Canteen

Originally, Lanmeng's life was very regular when he was in school, and needless to say later after the star stronghold, although I did read the "Cashiwagi Eri's Works Collection" last night, it was really late, but I didn't fall asleep...

and many more? !

Lan Meng suddenly realized that something was wrong, and that was cooking by herself!

In fact, Lan Meng felt a little tired after finishing the assessment yesterday, but he didn't think much about it at the time, he just thought it was the 'Thunder General' who put too much pressure on him, but after carefully recalling this feeling of fatigue, he also appeared, Especially after preparing several dishes for Artoria, he felt even more exhausted.

But he has always regarded it as the accumulation of exhaustion and didn't pay much attention to it.

Think carefully about the work I usually do in the kitchen of the star stronghold. When will it not be several times more than today?

Even today, in order to supplement the physical and mental exhaustion of his body, he let him sleep late for a long time.

Considering what he has done and his own changes, Lan Meng vaguely has two guesses.

One is naturally due to the activation of the 'system', and the other is the activated talent 'emotional resonance'.

Although there is no evidence, Lan Meng suspects that the second possibility is higher.

As for although the system has given Lan Meng a better or more accurate understanding of his own situation, there are actually some things that Lan Meng has been testing.

For example, his talent 'Emotional Resonance' has many things to test.

First of all, how to stimulate it. According to Lan Meng's speculation, it may be related to his attention and the things in his head when he made it, but Lan Meng thinks it should not be that simple, otherwise he would watch a tear-jerking movie before cooking. Isn't it better?

The second is that there will be and reaction after the stimulation. In fact, Lanmeng has many test samples on this point. The first sample is naturally the "General Thunderbolt", followed by the children of the orphanage and the dean's grandmother, and finally It is 'Arthur' and 'Eri Kashiwagi'.

It's a pity that Lanmeng hasn't found their "common ground" until now. Now it seems that not only the "effect" but also the "consumption" need to continue testing.

Although the system's evaluation of many things is very vague, as if the "appropriate amount" and "slightly" and "a little" that came out of his teacher's mouth when he first learned cooking are confusing, but Lan Meng believes that after his own experience Induction will always find some rules.

But there is one more important matter to be resolved right now.

That is to fool the Nine Sara in front of him first.

It's just that many things can't be explained at all, and Lan Meng has to divert the other party's attention.

Fortunately, Lan Meng did hold something that the other party cared about.

"I'm sorry, it may be because the 'Master General' is too majestic. I was quite tired yesterday, so I slept until now when I came back, and now I just woke up. I don't know if you have eaten, Master Kutiao? If not, why don't we go together Have something to eat?"

Although Lan Meng simply intended to use that 'General Thunderbolt' as a shield to attract the other party's attention, but Lan Meng probably didn't expect that he was praising the majesty of the 'General' in a crooked way, which made the other party's favorability rise a little. I am very interested in the dishes made by Blue Dream.

After all, as far as she knew, the general she was serving decided to let him stay temporarily because of Lan Meng's cooking, and even did not hesitate to arrange the manpower of Tianling to follow beside him. ,

It's just that as a courtier, it's impossible for her to inquire about the other party, but now that Lan Meng invites him actively, she has less scruples.

"Anyway, the other party invited me to taste..."

With such thoughts, she nodded indifferently.

"It's just right, after eating, I can continue to patrol and help the general find out the big rebels hiding in the city."

Although Lan Meng planned to use Jiujo Shaluo as the "test target", he never thought that the other party would agree so decisively.

It's like 'free'.

But as long as you can achieve your goals, nothing else matters.

One intends to let the other party 'test the medicine', and the other intends to test the other party's ability. From a certain point of view, the two parties can be regarded as matching eyes.

It's just that Jiujo Shaluo probably didn't realize what kind of choice he had made...

Chapter 18 Eater Watch Report

"Master General, please... please don't do this!!"

"Kujo, you once said that you would always serve me, right?"

"Yes! General, I once swore to you that I will serve you for the rest of my life..."

Facing the murmur in the ear, and the slightly warm breathing sound of blowing on the earlobe, Jiujo Shaluo, who has always been known for his seriousness in the whole Inazuma Castle, couldn't help but feel a little shy, but it's a pity that when she When she was about to turn her head away, the other party pressed her chin with her fingertips extremely forcefully.

Looking at the 'general' who was getting closer and closer to him, Kujo Sharo couldn't help feeling that his breathing gradually became short of breath.

But at this moment, a voice rang in her ear.

"Then why do you serve me, Kujo?"

A simple sentence made Jiutiao Shaluo, who was originally confused and infatuated, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.

The illusory picture in front of her eyes disappeared, Kujo Sara's head was instantly awake, and she finally remembered what had happened.

Originally, because of Lan Meng's strange performance, I came to investigate in person after receiving the report from her subordinates. After finding out that Lan Meng was just sleeping late, she was naturally planning to leave. After all, as the leader of Tianling, she has a lot of things to do every day. Not only do you need to deal with the affairs of the city, but you also need to deal with the affairs of the army.

You must know that although the fighters 'rebels' have not directly fought against Inazuma City, anyone can feel that the other party is hiding in the dark and licking their minions, that is, the existence of the general makes them fearful, but even That way, it won't be a surprise when the fight starts.

But when Lan Meng invited her to stay for 'breakfast', she didn't choose to refuse. Instead, she rarely gave up her original plan and chose to stay.

It’s not that she’s greedy for food. From a certain point of view, she didn’t think of herself as a girl and devoted herself to cultivating since she was a child. She doesn’t care about her appetite. What she cares about is “food that makes the general lose his temper”, that’s all. .

She obviously had already had breakfast, and she chose to accept Lan Meng's invitation without hesitation, and then she even witnessed Lan Meng's cooking process with her own eyes.

When investigating Lan Meng's information before, she had read all the information about the other party after he entered the general's mansion, but there is still a difference between understanding and seeing it with her own eyes.

For example, there is no difference between Lan Meng's cooking process and the records. Even the food and kitchen utensils are provided by Tianling, and she herself has been staying by Lan Meng's side to monitor the other party's cooking process. There is something strange about it, but when Lanmeng was ready and tasted it herself, she gradually realized the difference. ,

First of all, the cooking technique is completely different from that in Inazuma Castle, and secondly, besides the simple deliciousness, an indescribable emotion slowly lingers in my heart along with chewing.

This feeling was indescribable, but the warm feeling made her unconsciously recall every bit of how she got along with the 'General'.

As for why hallucinations appeared in the end, she was at a loss.

In fact, after waking up from the hallucination, she tried to perceive her physical condition.

There was neither a spell nor a sign of being drugged. There was only an obvious feeling of fullness, and it even made one feel that everything that happened before was just an illusion.

But the question that seemed to pierce the bottom of her heart kept her silent.

Because this sentence, whether it is "General Thunder" or "Thunder Movie", they have never asked Kujo Sharo this question.

So where does this problem come from?

Quite simply, this is her greatest 'fear'.

Although she respected and looked forward to the "Master General" from the bottom of her heart, after all, she almost died because of an accidental fall from the sky, and it was because she was favored by the General that she activated the power of the "God's Eye" and finally survived, but In fact, at that time, she didn't know that the person who saved her was 'Master General'.

As for the reason why she was able to join Tianling to follow the order of the Patriarch Jiutiao who adopted her, it was at that time that she learned that it was the "Master General" who saved her, and it was at that time that she asked The other party swears that he will always guard the other party... at all costs!

But at the same time, she couldn't forget what the Kutiao Patriarch who adopted her said to her.

'I need you to join Tianling Xingxing and inherit my position, for the Jiutiao family! '

Although the 'Kujo Family' has never had a disagreement with the 'General' so far, she became suspicious when she realized that the 'Kujo Family's interests' were not actually equal to the 'General's orders'.

Although there is no disagreement for the time being, if one day she had to choose, how would she choose?

Her rationality told her that she would definitely choose to protect the interests of the general, but could she really completely ignore the Kutiao family who adopted and taught her?

She didn't know, so she chose to escape, and buried this question deeply in her heart.

But why did I suddenly think of it?

She unconsciously glanced at Lan Meng standing beside her.

The answer is self-evident.

The only thing she cares about is that according to Lan Meng, the cooking he made can resonate with the user, so why does she resonate with the other party?

Or did the other party know something in advance so they used this method to test themselves?

Jiujo Shaluo found that he couldn't understand Lanmeng.

Compared with Jiutiao Shaluo who didn't know what to make up in his head, Lan Meng, who had been watching him on the other side, silently took out a small notebook in his heart and started recording.

"Observation target ⑤ (①General ②Children ③Arthur ④Eri Kashiwagi)

What they have in common: flushed cheeks after eating food, making strange noises (②④ no, ① not clear)

Differences: Responses vary after recovery

Will it change with continued consumption (doubtful)

Speculation: More data needs to be collected”

"Miss Kujo Sara, how do you feel after eating? I want to know what deficiencies can be improved."

As a chef, it is also one of the basic skills to distinguish a diner's satisfaction with food and the degree of hunger. When inviting the other party, Lan Meng noticed that the other party planned to refuse at first, and then seemed to be rejected for some reason. Reason chose to accept.

Lan Meng is not clear about the other party's purpose, but it does not prevent him from 'cooperating' with the other party, and both parties can be regarded as getting what they need.

At this time, Lan Meng's inquiry about the other party's situation is obviously trying to confirm the specific ability of his "talent" through the other party.

It's just a pity that Jiutiao Shaluo didn't tell Lan Meng what happened to him.

Although she doesn't know whether Lan Meng already knows her biggest 'fear' in her heart, it is obvious that she does not intend to confess these things to Lan Meng, a 'stranger', even in her opinion... Lan Meng may have Found some clues.

But I don't know whether it's because the dishes made by Lan Meng are more delicious than those in Tianling's canteen, or as the other party said, "to test Lan Meng's ability for the general" or simply because she hopes to pass Lan Meng's food. In the end, the other party and Lan Meng made an appointment to come to have breakfast and receive lunch every morning.

As for why it is only breakfast, lunch and dinner are just bentos?

It's very simple, as Tianling, she is very busy with her daily work, especially recently because of the 'rebel army', she needs more time to stay in the barracks. to the subordinates.

Naturally, Lan Meng would not refuse this, and it could even be said to accept it with pleasure.

While testing by the responses of different eaters is important, so is the same person's response to his abilities (resistance).

At the same time, after the meal, Kujo Sharo resumed his indifferent and proud expression again, but he didn't know whether it was because of the attraction of the task reward, or to build a good relationship with his 'experiment target', this time When parting with the other party, Lan Meng's smile was two points more sincere than before.

After sending Jiujo Saluo away, Lan Meng returned to his restaurant with the 'supplies' given to him by the other party.

It's a pity that neither Lan Meng nor Jiutiao Shaluo realized that the development of things seemed a little weird...

Chapter 19 As if the body was hollowed out...

About someone pretending to be a chef to 'assassinate the general', this matter spread up and down in the whole Inaozuma city in just one day.

After all, even because of the "Eye Hunting Order", many people are hostile or even hostile to the "General Thunderbolt" they once admired, and even recently there has been a "Rebel Army", a rebel army that openly opposes the general's "Eye Hunting Order".

But in fact, the assassination of generals is rare.

One is because the "general" spends most of his time in the mansion, and every time he goes on patrol, he will be followed by a large number of soldiers. Among them, the "Tianling Fengxing", the Jiutiaosha known as the "General's Loyal Dog" Luo even stayed by his side all the time, and couldn't find a chance to make a move.

The second is because everyone knows that although everyone is called "General" nowadays, the opponent was the real "Thunder God", a real god, and the strength of the opponent is not something ordinary people can resist.

This is also the reason why the 'Rebel Army' has never dared to collide head-on with Inaozuma Castle.

Who dares to try the power of Thunder God?

But now someone actually did it!

Even the hands-on process was spread vividly.

'I heard that the strong man is eight feet tall, with a broad shoulder and three pavilions. He practiced his culinary skills hard to assassinate the general and passed many tests. The godly general couldn't resist completely, his divine power collapsed, and then the strong man laughed wildly and took the opportunity to grab the knife and try to attack the general, but who would have thought that even in the general's mansion, Tianling Fengxing still deployed several layers of defenses, The other party was surrounded by a dozen or so Heavenly Leaders as soon as they made a move...'

Two young men in a teahouse near Lan Meng's residence were discussing the biggest gossip in the city at this time, and one of them vividly described Lan Meng's story of "revenge for a friend who assassinated the general alone".

And following the young man's description, many interested people quietly approached to make a sound.

But at this time, a man in white sitting in the corner of the teahouse was holding a teacup and looking out the window in a daze, as if he didn't notice the movement of the crowd.

This person is the soldier 'Zhe Ping' belonging to the logistics department of the rebel army.

He has listened to this 'story' several times during this day, and the version has changed several times, but the same thing is that the other party has gone through numerous inspections by Tianling to create a kind of story that even the gods cannot resist. The 'poison' tried to poison the general.

It's a pity that the success fell short in the end, and I was even captured.

Although he was only a support worker, since he decided to join the resistance army at the risk of losing his head, Zhe Ping was naturally full of enthusiasm. After he delivered the supplies to his companions, he transmitted this information to his superiors and asked them whether Lan Meng can be rescued.

In his view, although the other party is not a member of the rebel army, the enemy's enemy is a friend, let alone a "righteous man" who puts it into action.

It's a pity that when he reported this information, the person in charge told him helplessly that the rescue operation could not be carried out.

In fact, the 'Rebel Army' obtained this information long before Zheping completed his mission. After all, the assassination of the general was considered a major event by the entire Resistance Army. Unfortunately, after the analysis of the military adviser, it was obviously a trap.

It is not surprising that the news of someone assassinating a general came to light, but what is strange is that although the assassin was under house arrest, he was not killed. This is obviously abnormal, after all, this is different from the person who was deprived of the 'God's Eye' before , most of those people had no choice but to resist in the face of the "eye hunting order", but the other party took the initiative to assassinate the general.

Why does the general want to stay like this person?

The second is that the news spread too fast. It stands to reason that no matter how big the matter is, it would not be so fast, giving people a feeling of deliberately revealing or even these information.

As for the purpose, it is likely to attract the attention of the rebels or other forces with similar purposes.

"This is a conspiracy. That man is just a bait. All those who try to rescue will fall into the net of Tianling Fengxing. It's not that we don't want to rescue this righteous man, but because the time has not come. After all, the other party is at least temporarily is safe. '

The analysis of the "Military Advisor" of the rebel army made countless people feel sorry, but everyone was helpless, because as the other party said, this was a conspiracy.
